Xiang Dongqing’s counterattack directly threw President Wen into disarray.

“Xiang Dongqing, you stinking bitch, don’t force me!” President Wen’s eyes were bloodshot as he screamed hysterically.

“Press it! Go ahead and press it, and we’ll die together!” Xiang Dongqing grinned savagely, her pretty face twisting to reveal a ferocity even more intense than President Wen’s.

President Wen trembled all over with rage and roared, “Fine! Then let’s die together! I’m just a factory boss, dragging a group president worth tens of billions like you down to death with me is a bargain no matter how I look at it!”

After saying this, President Wen’s thumb pressed down ruthlessly!

But just at this moment, a steel coin flew out from Qi Dengxian’s hand. With a pa, it struck President Wen’s wrist viciously.

Struck by the coin, President Wen cried out in pain. His hand involuntarily loosened, and the remote control fell toward the ground.

Xiang Dongqing’s eyes were crimson. In the instant President Wen prepared to catch the remote, she suddenly pulled the pencil from the back of her head and stabbed it viciously into President Wen’s arm!

“Aow!”

President Wen let out a miserable scream like a howling wolf, blood splattering everywhere.

Qi Dengxian also arrived at President Wen’s side at this moment. He raised his hand and chopped at the back of President Wen’s head with his palm.

The screaming stopped abruptly. President Wen’s body went limp and collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

Xiang Dongqing, with her hair disheveled and holding the bloody pencil, looked like a life-claiming female ghost. She panted heavily, her gaze still full of killing intent as it fell on Qi Dengxian.

“You can call the police now!” Qi Dengxian turned and said to the terrified little secretary at the door, his expression indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

The secretary snapped out of it and hurriedly dialed the police.

Qi Dengxian bent down to pick up the coin from the floor, playing with it in his hand. He smiled at Xiang Dongqing and said, “Talk?”

Xiang Dongqing took a wet wipe, slowly cleaned the pencil in her hand, then reached back to tidy her hair.

“It seems I have nothing to talk about with Xiang Donglei’s people!” Xiang Dongqing said with a sneer.

“I am not his person. Should I say, he is my person… hmm, someone I manage,” Qi Dengxian said.

Xiang Dongqing frowned. “You are a prison guard?!”

Qi Dengxian nodded. “I left the prison by chance this time. Before I left, Xiang Donglei entrusted me to take care of you.”

Xiang Dongqing inserted the pencil back into her bun. Her cold, arrogant gaze held no trace of emotion, and her lips, sharp as blades, opened slightly. “I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

Qi Dengxian said, “Actually, I didn’t really want to bother with these messy matters either. But Xiang Donglei was very obedient in prison and even helped me shoulder quite a bit of work. Moreover, his rotten life is nearing its end. So, that’s why I agreed to his request.”

Hearing the news that Xiang Donglei didn’t have long to live, a trace of inexplicable emotion finally appeared in Xiang Dongqing’s eyes, but she didn’t speak.

Xiang Dongqing’s gaze turned cold again, and she said indifferently, “Are you pitying me?”

Qi Dengxian shrugged slightly, then shook his head. “You sit on a massive group worth tens of billions. What qualifications do I have to pity you? It’s just that whether you can hold onto it or not is another matter…”

Xiang Dongqing sneered, “What do you know?!”

“I know you are currently being suppressed by the Dragon Gate. I also know that people from the Xu family in the capital are preparing to enter and meddle. Even Yu Xiaolong seems interested in this big cake called the Xiang Group.” Qi Dengxian said unhurriedly.

Qi Dengxian’s first sentence left Xiang Dongqing unmoved. His second sentence made her eyes flicker slightly. But his third sentence set off stormy waves in her heart.

Xiang Dongqing took a slight breath to calm herself.

The Xu family’s entering would only make the current situation worse. If someone like Yu Xiaolong, who held significant influence throughout Huaguo, intervened as well, then the Xiang Group would most likely really be lost!

“You’re just a prison guard. What do you have to help me with?!” Xiang Dongqing sat down, completely regaining her calm. Her phoenix eyes carried a sharpness as she stared at Qi Dengxian, sizing him up.

“When your brother begged me, he was kneeling, with tears and snot running down his face together.” Qi Dengxian replied expressionlessly.

Xiang Dongqing’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She hated Xiang Donglei, but she knew very well that Xiang Donglei was a proud and arrogant man.

A person who could make him kneel and beg for help with tears and snot flowing definitely wouldn’t be simple.

Before Xiang Dongqing could speak, Qi Dengxian continued, “First, I need an employment notice. Any position is fine, but it can’t be too low.”

“Second, I won’t occupy the company’s resources, nor will I come to work on time. I will only take action to help when you encounter a crisis.”

“Finally, I want to tell you that life isn’t just about hatred.”

Xiang Dongqing mocked, “What do you know about love and hate?”

After saying this, she pulled out a document, signed it with a swish-swish-swish, threw it directly in front of Qi Dengxian, and said coldly, “Deputy Minister of the Security Department. Leave your name and phone number, then you can get lost!”

Looking at the woman’s cold and arrogant attitude, Qi Dengxian couldn’t help but have the urge to press her pretty face onto the desk and rub it viciously.

“Qi Dengxian?”

Xiang Dongqing looked at the document in her hand and frowned slightly.

“I hope you don’t live up to your name and be just an ordinary person!” Xiang Dongqing sneered.

Qi Dengxian turned a blind eye to Xiang Dongqing’s mockery. He extended his hand to her and said, “I need the detailed information you have on hand to see how the Dragon Gate is suppressing you, and I also need to understand your group’s operation methods.”

Xiang Dongqing’s face was cold as she said, “No rush. Wait until you officially start work.”

At this time, the police arrived. They took away President Wen, who had threatened Xiang Dongqing with bombs, and did a simple inquiry.

The Xiang Group had immense influence. Even with such a big incident, Xiang Dongqing glossed over it with a few sentences and didn’t even need to make a special trip to the station.

Xiang Dongqing handed Qi Dengxian’s employment documents to the secretary and asked her to process them.

Qi Dengxian tossed the coin in his hand, then turned to leave.

“Wait.” Xiang Dongqing called out to stop him.

“Hm?” Qi Dengxian turned his head.

“How many days does he have left to live?” Xiang Dongqing asked coldly.

“Don’t know. Not long, anyway.” Qi Dengxian shook his head slightly and walked straight out of Xiang Dongqing’s office.

Once the room was empty, Xiang Dongqing stood up, turned to the bookcase, and turned around a photo frame that had been facing away from her.

In the frame was a family photo.

“Even you are going to leave me? When that happens, who should I hate?” Xiang Dongqing pursed her lips, clenching her fingers into fists until the knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

After waiting for the secretary to finish processing the employment procedures, Qi Dengxian took his work badge and left the Xiang Group.

He still had one more thing to do: resolve the issue of the Bank of Zhonghai refusing to release the loan to the Qiao Corporation.
