"Mrs Hu, you may have made a mistake here." Mr Li tried to talk his way out of this mess.
"Mr Li, I know that people like you won't beat it until they have seen their coffins nailed. Do not worry; I have the perfect solution to it."
Mr Li really wanted to know what she had in her hands to prove her accusation or was it just a bluff.
I looked at my wife, then the people around us.
While my wife looked absolutely in her comfort zone, the same could not be said for the people surrounding her.
From the people present in this party, who didn't have skeletons in their closets? The thing is, they are an expert in hiding them.
While it seems my wife is an expert in digging them out.
'I am not too sure how she managed it though!'
"Mr Li, I don't like to repeat myself, so for the next part of the conversation let this video do the talking," with this Bai Chang started to play a video on her phone and then with some clicks it started playing on the big screen placed in the enclosure.
It showed exactly what Bai Chang told Mr Li all he was accused of just a few minutes back became more than just some baseless accusation.
Mr Li turned ghostly pale. I looked towards my wife but it seems that she is still not done with Mr Li.
The video started playing recordings and footage of meetings behind closed doors that led to some major loss incurred by these upper echelons.
I reflected that after Mr Li left the venue, his company would go bankrupt within a few months. As the amount of losses these people incurred is enough to cough up blood from them.
Everyone around was eyeing Mr Li with ulterior motives.
But after this, they didn't dare to meet Bai Chang's eyes. They now realised that all this time the tigress was hiding her claws. If no one bothered her she would have kept her silence.
But once provoked, she is your worst enemy and will make you relive your worst nightmare.
Mr Li finally couldn't take it anymore and chose to faint to avoid any immediate consequences.
A paramedic team accompanied Mr Li to a hospital.
I moved close to my wife and spoke in her ears, "Did you play enough?"
Her ears turned red while her face flushed, she narrowed her eyes as if ready to take a shot at me. I didn't dare to tease her anymore.
"My Queen, you just slew a monkey to make an example out of him, what are you planning?"
"Nothing too outlandish. Just establishing our might in the market to level the playing field for our company and make it a fair game to all."
"Then, how did you gather evidence against Mr Li?"
"That was a child's play. It is not worth mentioning it."
While I and Bai Chang exchanged a few words among us, the people around us cautiously approached us to probe our intentions.
"Everyone, I apologize that tonight you had to witness something unsightly."
"No Mr Hu, you do not need to apologise, instead we thank you, Mr and Mrs Hu for shedding light on such matters and serving us justice." Mr Shen spoke up.
After the incident, people around the corporate society understood how to go about from here on. As for business discussions, everyone unanimously agreed that it would be discussed in our respective company office.
With this, the After Party came to an end.
