When Xu Yiyang saw the tall and sturdy Qin Zhao fall over, he was so frightened that he dodged to the side. But Qin Zhao fell heavily to the ground without any obstruction!
With a cry of pain, he clutched the back of his head and woke up, enduring the intense pain as he tried to pounce at Qin Zhao, but was kicked flying by Xiao Ning!
Xu Yiyang smashed into the ground, unable to get up again!
Seeing Xu Yiyang react so strongly, everyone else became curious about the file's content and jostled over to the computer to take a look.
At this first glance, it was a huge deal - everyone's faces took on ambiguous expressions, while several uniformed people gradually had stern looks.
The file contained photos of Xu Yiyang appearing in plastic surgery, urology, and infectious disease departments, making it clear what illnesses he had.
In addition, there were videos of him hiring prostitutes, and related personnel accusing him of temporarily lowering prices and taking back several bills when paying.
Most explosively, there were also records of him personally embezzling public funds, as well as his Shengde Group evading taxes in related departments he managed!
After looking through the large pile of documents, the faces of several uniformed people were as black as the bottom of a pot!
How could a hoodlum like Xu Yiyang have the audacity to report others?!
This was too shameless!
But they then thought that capturing Xu Yiyang would be another achievement, so why not do it?
Thus, after exchanging glances, several people raced towards Xu Yiyang, who was still pretending to be dead on the ground!
Before long, Xu Yiyang was taken away in his own wails!
The farce ended and the conference room regained its calm.
Everyone came up to Qin Zhao one by one to congratulate her on becoming the chairwoman, then left in succession.
"Sister Qin, are you free tonight? Do you want to come to the Ghost God Casino to celebrate?" Xiao Ning asked.
Qin Zhao shook her head. "I'm too tired today, I want to rest well."
Xiao Ning: "Alright, then I'll get going first and ask another time."
Shen Yixuan said to Qin Zhao: "I should get going too. If you want to resign, come to the company to find me tomorrow."
"Okay."
The two left the conference room one after the other.
Ye Fei had also slipped away without a sound.
Qin Zhao looked at Nan Yue, who was waiting to one side, and asked, "Shall we go together?"
Nan Yue said, "Sure, I also have something I want to ask you."
Nan Yue pushed Qin Zhao out the door.
502 spoke up: "Host, Ye Chenxi is still in the conference room. The way he looks at you seems off, be careful."
Qin Zhao: "Got it, thanks for the reminder."
Nan Yue pushed Qin Zhao to a nearby park.
Stopping in a pavilion, Nan Yue spoke first: "Where have you been these past dozen or so days?"
Qin Zhao replied: "At Ye Fei's house."
She briefly recounted what had happened at Ye Fei's house.
After listening, Nan Yue's expression still did not improve.
Qin Zhao asked: "Are you angry that I didn't contact you these past few days?"
"You know what you did, so why don't you tell me why?"
Qin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "From the first time you mentioned breaking up with me, to choosing power over me many times, I was extremely upset inside.
Although I could vaguely feel that you had your own difficulties and hadn't truly given up on me, I was just unhappy, extremely unhappy!
So I decided to get back at you. Every bit of pain you suffered from me was part of my plan.
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see you become dejected from my successful election."
After hearing this, Nan Yue was silent for a long time.
Half a minute later, she said, "I thought that keeping you outside of my plans could protect you from harm.
When I heard that you had emerged unscathed from the confrontation with Ye Chenxi and Nan Chenghui, I knew that I had been too arrogant and looked down on you.
Later, I didn't seek your help because I didn't want to rely on you and wanted to see how far I could go on my own.
During this time, thinking you were strong enough that I could recklessly hurt you...
I'm sorry. I hope you can give me a chance to make amends for my mistakes."
Nan Yue's expression was rather grim, as if facing death.
It was evident that she really feared losing Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. She said, "I haven't decided how to punish you yet, you can owe me first."
Nan Yue relaxed a little inside. Qin Zhao didn't say she wouldn't forgive or that they would break up, so that was good.
But she was still somewhat uncertain. She anxiously asked, "So are we still a couple now?"
Qin Zhao: "That depends on your performance."
Nan Yue excitedly pecked Qin Zhao on the mouth and said, "I'll perform well! Look, I just went to the salon to pamper my fingers yesterday, specially prepared for you!"
Qin Zhao rolled her eyes at her. "It's enough for you to pamper your tongue well."
Nan Yue: "......"
There were images in her mind now!
When Nan Yue sent her home, the sky had already darkened.
Upon entering the house, Qin Zhao immediately smelled a nauseating odor!
The room was dimly lit. She could barely make out objects in the moonlight.
She wanted to turn on the lights but found that the circuit breaker had been switched off!
Enduring the slight stabbing pain in her abdomen, Qin Zhao walked straight towards a shadowy area.
With this foul odor source, the few people trying to hide had nowhere to run!
Qin Zhao kicked out and the three people cried out simultaneously!
The one who was kicked sprayed blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, not knowing if he was dead or alive.
The other two realized they had provoked someone they shouldn't have. They huddled together and shuffled away from Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao went into the kitchen, took out a cleaver, and the two were so frightened they collapsed limply on the ground!
Qin Zhao held the cleaver up high and asked, "Which one of you is the boss?"
The two simultaneously pointed at each other.
Qin Zhao said, "The boss can be spared bodily harm."
They then began arguing over who was the boss, and actually started fighting each other!
Qin Zhao watched coldly.
After a few minutes, the bald man emerged victorious.
Without another word, Qin Zhao grabbed his arm and hacked it off!
The bald man's severed arm fell to the ground. He shook all over in pain, but remembered to cry and ask, "Didn't you say the boss could be spared bodily harm?
Qin Zhao laughed. "But I never said you could be spared injury to tendon and bone!"
The bald man's eyes lost their light. He said, "Then just kill me, I'm a cripple without an arm anyway. I just ask that you make it quick!"
But Qin Zhao said, "You want to die? It won't be that easy!"
She wiped the fresh blood from the cleaver onto the bald man's clothes. "There was an ancient punishment called lingchi.
It would inflict 3357 cuts on a person while they were still alive, to make them endure it while living.
If you want to die, choose this method of death. What do you think?"
The bald man begged for mercy with snot and tears, wanting to hug Qin Zhao's legs but was kicked away by her!
"I have an alternative for you. Do you want to hear it?"
The bald man hurriedly nodded. "Good good, you say it."
Qin Zhao picked up the severed arm and said, "I have an insulated box at home that can preserve your arm for 36 hours.
During this time, help me with something.
Once it's done, you can take back the arm and get it reattached at the hospital, and there's still hope of full recovery."
The bald man blankly asked, "What do you need me to do?"
The next afternoon, Qin Zhao wrapped bandages around her abdomen, tidied up her outfit, and set off for the hospital where Nan Chenghui was.
"502, I won't be able to get past security like this. I'll have to trouble you later."
502: "Yes, Host."
Feeling somewhat useful for once, 502 was highly spirited and prepared to perform well.
At the hospital, with 502's help, Qin Zhao smoothly entered Nan Chenghui's ward.
But she saw Nan Yue standing guard at the bedside.
Hearing the sound, Nan Yue looked back. Her eyes showed no surprise at all as she said, "Come sit."
"Aren't you shocked at all by how I got past the bodyguards and strolled in brazenly?"
Nan Yue lightly shook her head. "From the day you took me from the Nan family home, I've been shocked already.
I know you possess power I can't comprehend.
I've been waiting for you to explain it to me."
Qin Zhao secretly sighed - she was indeed the female lead of this world, not to be underestimated!
She went to Nan Yue's side and asked, "How is Nan Chenghui's condition?"
Nan Yue replied, "Yesterday, he watched the board meeting livestream.
Seeing you weren't dead and even achieved ultimate victory, he was so angry he had a stroke.
He became slack-jawed and squint-eyed, muddled in mind."
"I see, then my arrival is just in time to help clear his head."
Nan Yue was about to ask what she meant, but discovered that Nan Chenghui seemed to sense Qin Zhao's presence. He slowly opened his eyes!
Seeing Qin Zhao, his eyes bulged wildly. "Qin, Qin... you, you give me s..."
He struggled to say some vicious words, but Qin Zhao had no patience to listen to him talk.
She took out a knife and some other items from her backpack.
Nan Chenghui recognized this knife, and his eyes flashed with fear that was captured by Qin Zhao.
"It looks like you already know what this is, so I won't explain further.
Except for the knife you used to kill Qiao Lin aunt, I also have the recording of you killing Chen Xiao,"
Qin Zhao showed Nan Chenghui the photos of Chen Xiao, his photo with Qiao Qianrong one by one,
and said, "You still remember these people, right? They all died at your hands, and now it's time for you to redeem your sins!"
The red bloodshot in Nan Chenghui's eyes quickly spread, and his eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets!
Qin Zhao continued to say, "I'll give you two options. Either I hand over the evidence to the police and let you spend the rest of your life in prison,
Or you take your own life, to keep the little dignity you have left?
Take until 5 pm today to consider carefully."
Nan Chenghui looked at Nan Yue pleadingly for help!
Nan Yue said, "Father, I hope you die soon."
Nan Chenghui stared blankly at Nan Yue for a good while, then closed his eyes in despair.
Qin Zhao and Nan Yue looked at each other, reached out and held each other's hands, then left the ward together and returned to Nan Yue's villa.
Slap! Slap!
502 hid in a corner of the sea of consciousness, shivering. She had never heard such crisp slapping sounds!
She couldn't imagine what the host was going through!
"Ah ah! Baby, stop hitting, okay? If you hit me again... I'm going to die of pleasure!"
As soon as Qin Zhao entered the room, Nan Yue tied him up and made him lie face down on the bed at her mercy.
"First Shen Yixuan, then Xiao Ning, and recently Ye Fei, you really want to give me a green hat?!"
Nan Yue scolded while beating, looking like she would beat Qin Zhao a thousand times if he didn't admit his mistake, and a hundred times if he did.
Qin Zhao decisively chose to keep his mouth shut!
So the whole villa was filled with strange noises.
Zhang Xinran, who was standing guard outside the villa, trembled slightly and thought: I'll never dare to betray the young mistress again, or the consequences would be too terrible!
Ding!
The phone rang, and Qin Zhao said, "Stop first, there's a message."
