The security captain and Li Tiancheng were genuinely bewildered, both wondering who Ren Yuanhao was to dare strike this "tycoon," and Li Tiancheng, having sparred with him, knew his strength was not inferior to his own.
A man with such strength and courage was no ordinary person. Furthermore, driven by a desire for revenge, Li Tiancheng decided not to intervene. With his abilities, he could earn a living anywhere.
After several slaps, Pei Qing felt his vision darken, his fierce aura not diminishing but intensifying!
He let out a cold laugh, about to look up, but his head was again slapped askew by Ren Yuanhao.
At this moment, Ma Ruixi had recovered from her fear and immediately remembered the humiliation she had suffered the previous night. If Ren Yuanhao had been present then, she wouldn't have been subjected to such degradation.
"Pei Qing, is Xiao Jie alive or dead!"
Upon hearing Ma Ruixi's question, Ren Yuanhao finally stopped his flailing slaps.
Pei Qing merely sneered, his laughter growing louder and more excited.
"Didn't you hear Ruixi's question? Haven't you been beaten enough?"
Ren Yuanhao grabbed Pei Qing by the collar with one hand, lifting him like a doll. Pei Qing hung in mid-air, his swollen face twisted into a crazed smile, looking somewhat eerie.
"Xiao Jie? Oh, right, the guy who stood up for you last night. Heh heh, people like that are cheap. If he's not dead, he's likely lost half his life!"
Ma Ruixi's face turned ashen. Although she didn't have a good impression of Xiao Jie, it was true that he had ended up in this state because of her last night. Her heart filled with sorrow, and grief welled up.
"Where is he?"
"Are you begging me or threatening me now?"
Pei Qing's expression was like that of a malevolent ghost. Even held by Ren Yuanhao, his fierce aura did not diminish. He spoke word by word, gritting his teeth, his visage ferocious.
*Slap!*
Ren Yuanhao delivered another solid slap to Pei Qing's face, then said in a low voice, "Do you think this is a threat, or am I begging you?"
This slap was extremely heavy. Pei Qing saw stars and his head dipped twice, almost making him faint. It took him several seconds to recover before his sinister and unruly eyes could open again.
"Beat me, beat me hard. Every bit of torment I suffer now will be repaid a hundredfold upon you! If you don't believe me, just wait. Don't forget whose territory this is!"
Ren Yuanhao was not easily intimidated. With a flick of his wrist, Pei Qing, like a kite with a broken string, crashed directly onto the desk. The pixiu statue fell and shattered, file covers danced in the dust, and the desk was dislodged, scattering everything.
"Li, Li Tiancheng, aren't you going to make a move? Are you waiting to get revenge on me? Don't forget your position, you should be an obedient dog!"
White file covers continuously fell onto Pei Qing. He staggered to his feet, a gap torn in his lip from Ren Yuanhao's blows, blood gushing out, a gruesome sight.
Li Tiancheng shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I have a strong temper. If others respect me, I respect them tenfold. While you are my master, it doesn't mean you always will be."
As he spoke, he tossed a magnetic card that allowed free passage within the building onto the desk.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Pei Qing's expression finally showed a slight change.
"Don't think everyone in this building is afraid of you. I, I quit."
Li Tiancheng felt a surge of secret joy. The noodles-like hair on his forehead, slicked down by sweat, hung listlessly. Although finding a job with such high pay after leaving Pei Qing would be difficult, his abilities were undeniable, and he wasn't afraid of not being appreciated.
Moreover, serving a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. The unruly bastard in front of him was more than a tiger; he was a monster, and who knew when he might be dragged down with him.
Li Tiancheng had conceived this plan when he was humiliated by Pei Qing. Coupled with Ren Yuanhao's decisiveness, it solidified his idea. Now, having made an enemy of Ren Yuanhao was unwise, but his mind raced, and he immediately thought of a way to rectify it.
"Hey, kid, at the bottom of the Pei Group building, there's a room where this little bastard indulges his carnal desires. The Xiao Jie you're looking for is probably there. This magnetic card can open that door." Li Tiancheng bowed slightly and added, "I know I've offended someone I shouldn't have, and I don't expect to be friends with you again. If you ever want revenge, I'll be there to accompany you."
As soon as Li Tiancheng finished speaking, he retreated swiftly, kicking up a gust of wind, and fled through the door.
"Bastard, traitor, you traitor!"
Pei Qing's face turned green with rage, but his roar tore at his wounds, causing him excruciating pain.
Ren Yuanhao, well aware that this order would offend a young master from a major corporation and that if he didn't show some real strength, there would likely be further trouble, pulled out a black gold card from his pocket and said, dangling it casually,
"President Pei, I presume? You should know what this card represents. I hope you'll remember this lesson well. If there's a next time, it won't be resolved with just a few slaps."
"A global top-tier Visa Black Card! Who exactly are you!"
Pei Qing's face changed drastically. The number of these cards globally was extremely small; even in a developed city like Eros, there wouldn't be more than five. This item represented not just money, but unshakeable power!
"Someone you can't afford to provoke."
Just then, Ma Ruixi coldly poured a glass of wine from the cabinet and slowly walked towards the staggering Pei Qing, her voice echoing like it came from a deep valley, "Pei Qing, when you do something wrong, you must be prepared for punishment. You have to drink this glass of wine."
The women huddled together, trembling. The scene before them was like last night, except the roles of hunter and prey had now been reversed.
"What's wrong, doesn't President Pei like the game of switching roles between hunter and prey? Are you going to drink this wine or not?"
Ma Ruixi only wanted to return the public humiliation she had suffered yesterday to the Pei Qing before her. However, as a woman who usually only endured, playing this role made her somewhat apprehensive, and the wine in her hand trembled.
Fortunately, Ren Yuanhao was behind her, giving her the courage she needed!
Pei Qing glanced at the black crystal card in Ren Yuanhao's hand, then at the wine in the glass. Despite his ferocity, he now looked like a beaten dog, trembling as he lowered his head and reached out.
But at that moment, Ma Ruixi directly splashed the full glass of wine onto Pei Qing's face!
Watching the wine trickle down his hair, the joy of revenge made her laugh heartily. Then, she smashed the glass, turned, and pulling Ren Yuanhao, ran towards the stairwell.
