Chapter 25 - Chapter 25

!

Wang Yunkai stood arrogantly at the entrance of Huaxin Insurance Company.

He knew that today was a great opportunity to showcase his strength in front of Xiao Churan's mother. He must seize this chance. Once he dealt with her mother, what difficulty could he possibly have in dealing with her?

Then, he could have Xiao Churan, the famous beauty of Jingling, all to himself. Just thinking about it made him excited beyond measure!

So, he loudly proclaimed, "Uncles and aunties, rest assured, the boss of this scam company will come over soon to refund everyone's money!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, each person brimming with excitement.

Except for Ye Chen, who watched Wang Yunkai with a cold smile. This guy thought too highly of himself. He might end up dead without knowing how he got there.

As Wang Yunkai basked in the adulation of the crowd, suddenly, the doors of Huaxin Insurance Company were pushed open from the inside.

Then, the boss, Zhou Huaxin, emerged with a middle-aged man in traditional Tang clothing.

Although the middle-aged man looked slightly older, he exuded a formidable aura. He was none other than Mr. Hong Wu!

Behind Mr. Hong were several burly bodyguards, each with extraordinary strength. These were his personal bodyguards.

Mr. Hong's status was so high that although many people in Jingling had heard of him, few had the opportunity to see him. So, including Wang Yunkai, no one recognized him.

Everyone only recognized Zhou Huaxin, the boss of Huaxin Insurance.

The atmosphere in the crowd instantly exploded!

"Oh my god, Yunkai really got Mr. Zhou to come over! He's amazing!"

"Yes, thanks to Auntie Lan this time, there's hope for our money!"

"Auntie Lan, such a good young man, he's definitely a great match for us!"

Listening to the flattering words of these elder sisters, Ma Lan felt extremely pleased. Wang Yunkai had indeed stolen the limelight in front of everyone today.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile even more, looking at Wang Yunkai with inexplicable satisfaction.

At this moment, Wang Yunkai walked up proudly, in a lofty manner.

He didn't know Zhou Huaxin, nor did he recognize Mr. Hong. But seeing that Zhou Huaxin seemed to respect Mr. Hong, he mistook Mr. Hong for the boss.

So, he looked at Mr. Hong arrogantly and said, "You're the boss of Huaxin Insurance Company?"

Mr. Hong smiled faintly and said, "I'm not the boss, I just work for the boss. But if you have any business, you can talk to me."

Wang Yunkai suddenly realized, then sneered, "So you're just a lackey. Someone like you isn't worthy of talking to me. Hurry up and get out of the way, let your boss come!"

Ye Chen shook his head, looking at Wang Yunkai as if he were an idiot.

The man in Tang clothing exuded a formidable aura, and with his bodyguards following him, he was obviously not someone to mess with. Yet Wang Yunkai was so arrogant and disrespectful, clearly digging his own grave.

Ma Lan chimed in coldly from the side, "Yunkai, don't waste your breath on this lackey. The one next to him is the boss of Huaxin Insurance!"

Zhou Huaxin was dumbfounded!

This Wang Yunkai, and this audacious old woman!

To dare insult Mr. Hong as a lackey and tell him to get out of the way, they truly didn't know what fear was!

In all of Jingling, who dared to insult Mr. Hong so boldly?!

Even if there were such people, they would have been thrown into the river by Mr. Hong in a fit of rage!

Just as Wang Yunkai finished speaking, one of Mr. Hong's strong bodyguards stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yunkai by the hair, and began slapping him left and right!

"Damn it! You dare to insult Mr. Hong? Are you tired of living?!"

After that, he grabbed Ma Lan and gave her a resounding slap, cursing, "You bitch, dare to insult Mr. Hong, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Boom!

These words shocked Wang Yunkai and Ma Lan!

What?

The man in Tang clothing in front of them was actually the renowned Mr. Hong Wu of Jingling?!

And they had just insulted him so recklessly...

Thinking of this, their faces instantly turned extremely pale, and cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, leaving them utterly terrified.

Wang Yunkai reacted the fastest. He fell to his knees in front of Mr. Hong, bowing and crying as he begged, "Mr. Hong, I was wrong, I apologize to you! I was blind and didn't recognize you, let alone should I have insulted you! The matter of those damned old folks demanding money has nothing to do with me. Please, spare my life!"

!

After finishing his apology, Wang Yunkai knelt on the ground, repeatedly slapped himself, and bowed in apology, breaking down in tears.

He truly hadn't expected that the powerful figure backing the owner of this scam company would be none other than the renowned Mr. Hong Wu of Jingling!

Such a prominent figure was not someone he, nor his family, could afford to offend!

He regretted it deeply!

He only wanted to take this opportunity to show some courtesy to Xiao Churan's mother, hoping to have a chance to get close to Xiao Churan.

But before he could fulfill his wish, he had offended Mr. Hong Wu!

If his father knew about this, wouldn't he be beaten to death?

The scene shocked the surrounding elderly people.

They had hoped that Wang Yunkai could help them get their money back. But who would have thought that the next moment, he would kneel directly on the ground and apologize to the man in Tang clothing before them...

Even Ma Lan, who had been smug just now, was slapped a few times and looked miserable like a dead dog.

Mr. Hong Wu snorted coldly and said to his men, "Since this guy has such a foul mouth, each of you take turns to slap him ten thousand times. Stop when you reach ten thousand."

Wang Yunkai was terrified. Ten thousand slaps, wouldn't that beat him to death?

At this moment, one of Mr. Hong's men pointed at the disheveled Ma Lan and asked, "What about this old lady, Five?"

Mr. Hong Wu glanced at Ma Lan with disdain and said coldly, "She also gets ten thousand slaps."

Ma Lan collapsed to the ground in fear, trembling violently. She was almost scared to death. Would she still have a chance to live after offending Mr. Hong Wu?

At this point, several men stepped forward. Some grabbed Wang Yunkai, while others grabbed Ma Lan, preparing to start slapping them.

Ye Chen had been watching the scene coldly from the crowd.

When he saw his mother-in-law being beaten, he didn't want to intervene at first. After all, his mother-in-law had always been so despicable; she deserved some punishment.

However, if Mr. Hong's men really slapped her ten thousand times, she would be either dead or disabled. How would he explain it to his wife then? If she was in real danger, his wife would undoubtedly be devastated!

He felt that he had no choice but to intervene.

Just as one of the burly men raised his arm, ready to deliver a heavy blow to Ma Lan's old face, Ye Chen stepped forward quickly and grabbed his wrist!
