Long Mingzhu, President of Longzhu Shengshi Investment Group, saw the miserable state of her son Zhao Shuai and was instantly furious.
Zhao Shuai had a large fist print on his face, his nose was crooked, several teeth were knocked out, and his two front teeth were gone, leaving only a hole that was both leaky and bleeding.
"Son, what happened? What happened? And who are these two people?"
"Mom, Mom, these two people want to kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Long Mingzhu's eyes widened, and her murderous gaze shifted to the man and woman before her.
Although Long Mingzhu was extremely angry, she quickly regained her composure.
The man and woman before her did not seem like ordinary people.
The girl was very beautiful, but her beauty was neither alluring nor vulgar. Instead, she possessed an indescribable unique temperament.
Women understand women best, and Long Mingzhu knew that such a girl could never be raised by an ordinary family.
Looking at the man, she felt he was even more extraordinary. He had an ethereal aura, and he showed no fear or timidity when facing Long Mingzhu, a person with a powerful presence.
Long Mingzhu felt that she had only experienced such an aura from the elderly, powerful figures who dominated the business world.
Now, to see such an aura on a young man like Ling Tian was truly unusual.
"Who are you, and why are you hurting my son?"
"Who are you?" Ling Tian asked.
"I am the Chairman and President of Longzhu Shengshi Investment Group, Long Mingzhu! Zhao Shuai is my son!"
Wang Bingxia was surprised to hear the name. Long Mingzhu was a woman who wielded considerable influence in the business world of Jiangshan City.
She hadn't expected her to be Zhao Shuai's mother!
However, Wang Bingxia was not discouraged and stepped forward directly to face Long Mingzhu.
"Ms. Long, I am Wang Bingxia, and my grandfather is Wang Chunfeng!"
"So it's you!" Long Mingzhu was also surprised. This was not strange, as in Jiangzhou's business circles, Old Master Wang was an unavoidable figure.
And these people all knew that Old Master Wang Chunfeng doted on his granddaughter, cherishing her dearly.
It was said that for the sake of this granddaughter, the old man had arranged a marriage early on. If anyone else approached the old man to propose, they would generally be severely scolded and their friendship would end.
She hadn't expected Wang Bingxia to appear in her son's home!
"Bingxia, why are you here?"
"You'll have to ask your precious son!" Wang Bingxia replied with a displeased tone.
"Mom..." Zhao Shuai was anxious and was about to argue, but Long Mingzhu glared at him, scaring Zhao Shuai into silence.
"I don't want to hear from you. Come, Bingxia, tell me!"
"Ms. Long, your son Zhao Shuai has harassed me multiple times at school. I clearly told him that I already have a fiancé, yet he repeatedly pursued me and even publicly humiliated me!
Today was even more outrageous. He actually hired people to set up a trap and put anesthetic drugs in my wine, then brought me here wanting to assault me!
My fiancé came to save me, and your son actually ordered those bodyguards to kill my fiancé!"
"This... this is impossible. How could my son do such a thing!" Long Mingzhu found it hard to believe. In her eyes, Zhao Shuai was an excellent child, and the things Wang Bingxia described were simply unbelievable to her. She didn't want to admit it.
"Whether you admit it or not, the facts are here.
I have video evidence!"
As Wang Bingxia spoke, she took out two memory cards from her pocket.
This girl was shrewd. When she escaped from Zhao Shuai's room, she took two small cameras and then, while running, extracted the memory cards from the cameras.
This girl knew that no matter what happened, this would be evidence!
Long Mingzhu stared intently into Wang Bingxia's eyes. Wang Bingxia's gaze was clear and did not avoid her.
When Long Mingzhu looked at her son, she found him avoiding her gaze, clearly guilty.
Seeing this, how could a smart woman like Long Mingzhu not realize that Wang Bingxia was not lying, but her son was?
Suddenly, Long Mingzhu turned and slapped Zhao Shuai across the face.
The slap was very hard, and Zhao Shuai spat out another mouthful of blood.
"You unfilial son, kneel down!"
"Mom..."
As Zhao Shuai was about to explain, Long Mingzhu slapped him across the face again. Zhao Shuai immediately knelt down.
Long Mingzhu walked forward and took Wang Bingxia's hand.
"Ms. Wang Bingxia, I apologize for my son's outrageous behavior.
He likes you too much and couldn't help himself.
How about this, I'll have him kowtow to you and apologize, and you let him off the hook.
Also, whatever compensation you want, just name it!"
It had to be said that this woman's tactic of advancing by retreating was very effective. Wang Bingxia, who had been wary of this woman, was now unsure of how to proceed.
So Wang Bingxia turned to look at Ling Tian.
"Young man, as the saying goes, 'where you can be merciful, be merciful.' Give me, Long, some face and let our Zhao Shuai go!
As I said before, just name your terms, and our Zhao family will satisfy you!"
Ling Tian fell into thought. Although he didn't know this woman Long Mingzhu, Ling Tian knew very well that a woman who could build such a large business was no pushover.
His fifth and fourth masters had both warned Ling Tian that women were not to be trifled with, especially when they were protecting their young. Reason could not be applied to them, and they were capable of anything.
Now that things had come to this, if Ling Tian insisted on reporting to the authorities, he might be able to get Zhao Shuai arrested. However, with the Zhao family's connections, he might be released very quickly.
And in doing so, he would have completely offended the Zhao family.
To reiterate an old saying, Ling Tian was not afraid of what the Zhao family would do to him. However, this anger would inevitably be directed at the Wang family, because the Zhao family believed the Wang family was Ling Tian's backing, and this incident was initiated by Wang Bingxia, the granddaughter of the Wang family.
Ling Tian genuinely did not want to see these things happen.
Of course, since Zhao Shuai had done such a thing, Ling Tian would not let it go just like that. Even if he let Zhao Shuai go, Zhao Shuai would likely not let it slide.
For Ling Tian, he had gained another enemy! This debt would have to be settled sooner or later, but now was not the time to make enemies.
