Volume 1, Chapter 41: Witnessing His Terrifying Strength

Qiao Nian'an stood up abruptly and said with immense anger to President Wang, "President Wang, if you don't want to cooperate, you should have said so sooner. We certainly aren't desperate for your business."

"Not desperate for my business? You know very well that companies much larger than yours are all lining up to work with us. Why would I choose you two? Have you lost your minds?" President Wang glared at Qiao Nian'an and sneered, "Do you honestly believe I have the power to make sure your company can no longer survive in this industry?"

Qiao Nian'an picked up her phone. "Hello, is this the police? I want to report a crime..."

She clearly stated the situation and gave the exact address.

After hanging up, she looked at him and said, "Whether you can manage to blacklist us from the industry remains to be seen, but right now, I am calling the police to report you for sexual harassment."

President Wang never expected that Qiao Nian'an would actually call the police. His face twitched in disbelief. "Crazy bitch! How dare you call the police!"

The police arrived shortly after.

President Wang was taken away, while Shen Niwu and Qiao Nian'an were also brought back to the station to give their statements.

Upon receiving word that Qiao Nian'an was at the police station, Fu Yunzhen sped all the way there.

The moment he arrived, he marched straight up to President Wang—the man who had harassed Qiao Nian'an—and landed a heavy punch directly across his face!

Looking at the towering, imposing man standing before him, President Wang felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine, completely overwhelmed by the other man's formidable aura.

However, having climbed to his position today, he had never feared anyone.

Young punks and inexperienced girls—which of them had ever been a match for him?

"Do you know what kind of place this is? Have you no respect for the law at all? I'm going to sue you!" President Wang yelled aggressively.

"Assistant Lin, find out which company he belongs to. I want them bankrupted within one minute," Fu Yunzhen said, his face sinking into a dark scowl.

How dare this bastard lay his filthy hands on his woman?

He had been reunited with her after all this time and couldn't even bring himself to touch her casually.

And yet this blind fool had the audacity to be so blinded by lust!

Hearing the young man utter such an arrogant threat to bankrupt his company within a minute, President Wang burst into a mocking laugh. "I think you've been watching too many cheesy web dramas! Bankrupt me in one minute? Do you even have the slightest clue who is backing me?"

President Wang stood up, looked Fu Yunzhen up and down, and sneered. Although the man radiated an emperor-like authority, he clearly looked like a young master who had barely stepped out into society.

He had neither the financial power nor the real strength.

What did he think he was fighting with?

Playing the hero to save the damsel in distress?

He didn't even bother looking at the reality—his company was worth a hundred million!

Was it something that could just be collapsed on a whim?

This very year, they had even managed to secure a partnership with the Fu Group conglomerate.

Everyone in this industry was practically kissing up to him.

In the end, his decision to choose Qiao Nian'an's company was purely driven by her stunning beauty.

He had played with countless women, but he had never encountered one like her—pure, untainted, looking like an otherworldly fairy who didn't touch earthly food.

Hearing President Wang's arrogant words, Assistant Lin let out a cold laugh. He pulled out his phone, made a single phone call, and right then and there, President Wang's company was completely crushed into bankruptcy.

When President Wang's phone suddenly rang, his knees buckled and he collapsed heavily onto the floor. "Wh-What? Bankrupt? How is this possible? We just partnered with the Fu Group, how could we possibly go bankrupt?"

Having spent so many years navigating high society, President Wang suddenly understood the terrifying reality of the situation.

He had provoked someone he absolutely should not have crossed!

Just moments ago, this young man had said he would bankrupt his company in one minute.

And now, looking at the reality... he had actually pulled it off.

Not even a full minute had passed!

This level of sheer power was utterly terrifying.

Looking across the entire capital's elite circle, only one person possessed such heaven-reaching influence—someone whose mere word could decide life and death.

Could he... could he possibly be... that legendary crown prince of the capital's elite circle, Fu Yunzhen?

President Wang didn't even dare to harbor any thoughts of begging for mercy.

When someone was marked for death by Fu Yunzhen, not even the Jade Emperor himself could save them.

All he could do now was seek desperate redemption.

He threw himself down before Qiao Nian'an, kowtowing and desperately begging for forgiveness!

"Mi-Miss Qiao, I am so sorry! I should never have treated you that way. I am offering you my most profound apologies. Please, here is a small token of my regret, I beg you to be magnanimous and... please forgive my reckless folly!" President Wang hurriedly thrust a check forward.

Qiao Nian'an stared at the check trembling in President Wang's hand and let out a cold snort. "Your company is already bankrupt, and yet you're still trying to use a check to buy someone off? Who wants your pathetic pocket change?"

"It's over, it's all over..." President Wang collapsed back onto the floor, completely hollowed out.

At that moment, a police officer walked over and asked President Wang, "Mr. Wang Guang, was it you who called the police earlier?"

"N-No, I didn't call the police!" Scared out of his wits, President Wang sat paralyzed on the ground, shaking his head frantically like a madman.

Offending Fu Yunzhen meant bankruptcy was the least of his worries—just managing to stay alive would be a miracle.

Just as President Wang thought he might actually escape with his life, Fu Yunzhen said coldly, "Assistant Lin, drag him outside. Whichever hand touched Qiao Nian'an, break it."

"Understood!" Assistant Lin replied.

After completing the paperwork formalities, Assistant Lin hauled President Wang away.

Everything went black before President Wang's eyes.

He could only wail internally that his life was truly finished.

After handling all of these matters, Fu Yunzhen walked over to Qiao Nian'an with a look of deep concern on his face. "It's all over, everything has been taken care of."

Watching him effortlessly destroy a man's company simply to vent her anger, Qiao Nian'an couldn't help but feel this was the ultimate CEO move.

She never expected that such a cliché melodramatic plot would actually play out in her own life—being harassed during a business dinner, only for a powerful CEO to descend from the heavens and act as her savior.

No wonder women of all ages loved reading CEO romance novels.

After all, real-life men were often utterly disappointing—either cheating, engaging in domestic abuse, lacking money while blaming their wives for not bringing good fortune, or never bringing any money home at all.

Yet in books, you could find everything your heart desired.

With a soft murmur, Qiao Nian'an turned to leave alongside Shen Niwu.

Clearly unsatisfied with her nonchalant reaction, Fu Yunzhen reached out to catch her wrist, raising an eyebrow at her. "Just like that? Is there nothing else you want to say?"

Qiao Nian'an turned her head back to look at him. "What do you want me to say? A simple thank-you?"

"Actually, even if you hadn't shown up, I could have handled it myself."

When dealing with scumbags like that, calling the police was the right course of action. Even if it wouldn't ruin him completely, it would at least teach him a harsh lesson.

Looking at her innocent face, Fu Yunzhen retorted, "Do you honestly think you would have walked away unscathed if you had caught the eye of someone like President Wang?"

Shen Niwu pulled on Qiao Nian'an's sleeve and added in a soft, apprehensive voice, "She's right. If you had truly become President Wang's target, the consequences would have been unimaginably brutal... I just received a message from an industry colleague saying that President Wang once drove a female business partner to her death after playing with her until she was broken and used up, and then backed out of the partnership. That woman even had a family, and when her husband found out, unable to bear the overwhelming humiliation, she took her own life..."

Shen Niwu's voice grew quieter and quieter. "Thank goodness President Yunzhen stepped in. If he hadn't, the moment we stepped out of this police station, we would have faced vicious retaliation from President Wang..."

Qiao Nian'an furrowed her brows. "Is that really true...?"

"Of course it is! That's why we really need to thank President Fu..." Feeling intimidated by Fu Yunzhen's stern presence, Shen Niwu gently nudged Qiao Nian'an forward into Fu Yunzhen's arms. "Go on, talk properly to President Fu and thank him properly."

Knowing her own perilous situation all too well, Qiao Nian'an realized she was no match for President Wang if he sought revenge.

Pushed by Shen Niwu, she stumbled slightly and fell right against Fu Yunzhen's solid chest.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her gaze slightly to look up at Fu Yunzhen and said softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It was only my duty!" Fu Yunzhen lowered his gaze to look at the woman in his arms, his eyes crinkling into a broad, delighted smile.

As long as Qiao Nian'an spared him even the slightest bit of attention, he was willing to become as obedient as a puppy, entirely at her command.
