Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 299: The Threat of the Devil_1

The officers stepped forward to handcuff Guan Ruiming, who was still shouting and screaming, and dragged him out.

Ding Jianwei didn’t leave immediately, but instead approached Xiao Ming, squinting at the hand he held with Lu Lichun and said expressionlessly, "On the way here, I ran into a bunch of people who looked like they were here to make trouble.

Do you need me to handle it?"

"No need. Those were all brought by Guan Ruiming to deal with me, but now that the main culprit has been caught, they’re just a pack of stray dogs, not worthy of concern from a high-ranking official like you, Ding."

Xiao Ming said cheerfully, also retrieving his hand held by Lu Lichun.

"Then I’m leaving. Call me if you need anything."

Ding Jianwei left with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, taking Jiang Yang with him.

The room quieted down, and the faces of the member merchants were filled with shock and confusion. Dong Father and Son, however, hung their heads, and upon closer observation, one could see them shivering.

Xiao Ming drummed his fingers on the armrest of his chair and turned to look at Guan Qingchang. "Mr. Guan, you and Chun have already signed the divorce agreement. There shouldn’t be any accidents happening afterward, right?"

Guan Qingchang slowly turned his head, his gaze extremely calm, so serene it was as if he had seen through the mortal world and was no longer disturbed by worldly matters, dead still.

"Things have come to this point, Mr. Xiao. What else could you possibly use to threaten me?"

His implication was that he was soon to be left with nothing anyway, and even if he stubbornly refused to go collect the divorce certificate with Lu Lichun, what could Xiao do to him?

Xiao Ming shook his head. "With such poor mental fortitude, I really don’t know how you climbed to the position you hold today.

Think it over, the initiator of all this was not me. In fact, I never thought about dealing with you at the beginning, it was you who insisted on taking advantage of me.

What, now that you’re losing, you want to play dirty with me?"

Guan Qingchang glared. "I was forced into this!"

"Whoever forced you, go find them! Do I look easy to bully?"

Guan Qingchang faltered and then gritted his teeth, "In any case, if I can’t be at ease, none of you will be at ease!"

"Really!" Xiao Ming sneered coldly. "Then let me ask you about someone. The name Li Yanrong, Mr. Guan, have you heard of her?"

Guan Qingchang’s body instantly tensed, his eyes full of fear. "You... how could you..."

"Not only do I know who she is, but I also know she has a son. And, this son also has the last name Guan, isn’t that a coincidence?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ming’s smile turned even colder, and his tone became icy and piercing. "Guan Qingchang, I understand you more than you think, and I have never taken you seriously from start to finish.

If it weren’t for Ye Jin’an backing you, I wouldn’t even bother talking to you, understand?"

Guan Qingchang’s knuckles turned pale as he gripped the armrest tightly, his voice hoarse, "She’s just a stupid woman from the countryside, she knows nothing.

That child is only three years old this year, you... are you a devil?"

"Whether I am a devil or not depends on how well you behave."

After a while, Guan Qingchang slumped as if deflated, slowly standing up and saying, "As soon as the civil affairs bureau opens tomorrow, Lu Lichun and I will divorce immediately."

Xiao Ming silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, he was not a devil; no matter what, he would not hurt an innocent mother and her son, so his threat was just that—a mere threat.

If Guan Qingchang were the sort of ruthless and ambitious villain who would prefer to die without an heir just to spite him, then Xiao really would have had no other option.

Luckily, all of Guan Qingchang’s confidence was given by his power, and once he lost that, he was nothing but trash, completely lacking the qualities of a villain.

"Also, I don’t want any of the Guan family left in Wanhai Investment, understood?"

"Understood."

Guan Qingchang left the room with slumped shoulders, his back looking extremely forlorn, as if he had aged more than a decade in an instant.

Once he left, Lu Shibing couldn’t sit still any longer. Announcing he needed to go home to prepare, he took his leave and departed.

Consequently, the remaining two standing, Dong Father and Son, became especially conspicuous.

Not only were they shivering more violently, but their backs were also bent, resembling two eunuchs ready to take orders at any moment.

For Xiao Ming at this moment, to continue being serious with such scum was somewhat degrading, so he slapped the armrest of the chair, intending to stand up and leave the scene for Lu Lichun to handle.

However, unbeknownst to him, Dong Chenghua was in such a state of high tension that, hearing the noise, he instinctively delivered a heavy kick to his father Dong Jingyi’s left shin.

Dong Jingyi was already past his sixtieth year, and his old arms and legs could not withstand such a blow from his middle-aged son. His shin cracked on the spot, fracturing immediately.

The noise not only shocked the merchants in the room but also left Xiao Ming gaping in astonishment.

Dong Chenghua, on the other hand, paid no heed to his father’s agonized cries on the ground. He knelt and knocked his head on the floor, as if possessed by the earlier deference of Guan Ruiming.

"I deserve to die! I was blind not to see Mount Tai! Mr. Xiao, you are a magnanimous man. Considering that I haven’t committed an irretrievable mistake, please let me go as if I were nothing more than a fart!

I swear to you, from now on, I am your dog. If you tell me to wag my tail, I’ll wag it; if you tell me to bite someone, I’ll bite," he begged.

Initially, Xiao Ming hadn’t planned to bother with such treacherous trash, but after hearing his words, something stirred in him, and he asked, "Really?"

Seizing the opportunity, Dong Chenghua hastily nodded: "Truly, truly! Everyone here can witness. If I dare to break my oath, may thunder strike me!"

"Hmm. Get up then, take your father to the hospital, and come to the company to see Manager Lu tomorrow. From now on, just do as she commands."

"Thank you! Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Xiao!"

Delighted, Dong Chenghua knocked his head on the ground twice more before helping his father leave.

"That’s that taken care of," Xiao Ming said, glancing at the members of Lingnan Business Association who were all on pins and needles, and then spoke to Lu Lichun, "This is your turf now. You won’t need me to stay, will you?"

Lu Lichun gave him a look: "If I said I needed you, would you stay?"

Xiao Ming shook his head and walked towards the exit.

As Lu Lichun escorted him out, she suddenly spoke up, "Sir."

Xiao Ming stopped in his tracks: "What’s the matter?"

Hesitating for a moment, Lu Lichun asked, "The Li Yanrong you mentioned to Guan Qingchang..."

The light flashed in Xiao Ming’s eyes. Turning around, he nodded, "That’s right, she’s the woman Guan Qingchang kept on the side. It is said that he took her with him during a rural inspection, and she’s been with him for four years, bearing him a son.

If you have any ideas, I can give you her address."

Lu Lichun suddenly held her breath, her hands unconsciously clenching tightly.

After a moment, she exhaled deeply, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Forget it, Guan Qingchang is about to be ruined. Even if a single mother doesn’t worry about food and drink, life will be very hard. She’s already pitiful enough.

Besides, I’m no better than Guan Qingchang; neither of us is a good person. I really have no standing to target her."

Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows: "You are also a single mother."

"But I have you, sir!"

Xiao Ming laughed heartily and continued on his way.

"Live your new life well, there are endless possibilities waiting for you ahead."

Lu Lichun stood there dazed, watching until his figure disappeared behind the moon gate. Then she took a deep breath, her expression instantly turning cold and proud as she turned back into the room.

Now, she was no longer just a powerful man’s wife but a businesswoman, a businesswoman with a strong background and formidable strength.

To her, Lingnan Business Association had an entirely different significance than before, and naturally, it should be grasped firmly in her hand.
