Ancient Factory Connections: How I Became Rich and Raised an Emperor for the Ages

Ning Jinluo was just out of college when her uncle tricked her into inheriting a factory on the brink of bankruptcy, leaving her buried in massive debt. Her boyfriend dumped her for a rich woman, l...

Chapter 177 She's practically a superhero!

The person who came this time was the owner of the baseball cap shop, accompanied by several professional bodyguards in suits and sunglasses.

When people entered the store and saw the situation, their expressions turned sour.

"Mr. Liu..." The man in the baseball cap awkwardly leaned closer and whispered the details of the situation in his boss's ear.

The man called President Liu glanced at Ning Jinli, his gaze sweeping over her for a few seconds, a hint of covetousness in his eyes.

With his current wealth and status, although he is not considered to be in the upper echelons of Xinghan City, he is still considered to be rich and powerful. He has many women around him, but he has never seen one who is as young, beautiful, has a great figure, and has a unique temperament as he does.

However, a woman is still a woman.

In his eyes, it was just a tool for amusement and entertainment, and it couldn't interfere with his serious business.

Then, with some reluctance, he turned his gaze to Master Wu, who was sitting on the sofa in the corner.

Out of basic politeness, Ning Jinli ignored President Liu's gaze and gracefully extended her right hand, saying, "You must be their boss, hello."

"Hehe, hello there." President Liu grabbed Ning Jinli's slender hand and patted it a few times without restraint.

Ning Jinli frowned, withdrew her hand, and said, "My name is Ning—"

"Yo! Third Master!" Ignoring Ning Jinli's self-introduction, President Liu showed a polite smile and strode up to Third Master Wu.

"I say, Third Master, this time it was all because the lower-ups were ignorant and made a mess of things. People of our rank shouldn't stoop to their level. Give me some face, okay?"

Wu Sanye had seen his attitude towards Ning Jinli just now.

Master Wu was naturally somewhat displeased.

Besides, he had practically no dealings with this Mr. Liu, so he didn't want to give him a friendly look and said with a sneer, "Give you face? Who do you think you are?"

Mr. Liu was slightly taken aback, and a hint of gloom appeared in his smile. "Third Master, you're not right to say that. I've come all this way to handle the situation, and this is how you talk to me?"

"Or should I thank you?" Third Master Wu retorted directly. "I've been out running around for over half a month, and I just got back and opened the door without taking a break, and your men rushed in and smashed up the shop. They even pointed a gun at my head. If word gets out, where will I put my face?"

Mr. Liu's cheeks twitched, and he turned to look at Su Qiang.

Su Qiang knew he had messed things up this time, so he didn't dare to look him in the eye and kept his head down, staring at the floor.

"Oh, Third Master," Mr. Liu plopped down on the sofa, pushed Old Yang aside, and then took Third Master Wu's hand, saying with a smile, "I'll apologize to you. We don't need to make things too ugly."

Master Wu shook off his hand. "Isn't an apology enough?"

"So what do you want?" Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes. "Do you really want me to pay millions in compensation? This isn't how you extort money, is it? Do I look like a sucker?"

Master Wu stared intently at him. "So you're not planning to pay compensation?"

"Hahaha, I'll compensate you, of course I'll compensate you," Mr. Liu said with a forced smile. "We're both trying to make a living in Xinghan City. Although we haven't had any contact before, we're both respectable people. Let's each take a step back. I'll apologize, treat you to a meal later, and then compensate you with 300,000 yuan."

Master Wu laughed, "You're really generous, three hundred thousand! That's a huge sum."

“That’s enough,” Mr. Liu continued. “You’ve only lost some things that look expensive. I know those are just for show, to fool people who don’t know anything about this stuff. How could you just leave the real treasures out there? I’m not a newbie, so you don’t need to try to fool me. Three hundred thousand is more than enough to compensate for all that junk that got smashed.”

Then, President Liu pointed at Ning Jinli, licked his lips, and asked, "This chick is not bad, is she one of yours?"

Instead of answering, Master Wu asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Mr. Liu said with ill intent, "My men only injured you, and what you did was just a minor scratch. But that girl injured four of my men, two of whom had their ribs broken when they hit the sofa. So, you still have to compensate me."

Master Wu chuckled coldly, "Interesting."

Mr. Liu immediately said, "Of course, I'll still give you 300,000 yuan. You don't need to pay me any compensation. Just let your girl sleep with me, and that'll be the end of it."

Upon hearing this, Ning Jinli's face fell.

Old Yang, who had been silently watching the situation from beginning to end, also frowned.

Master Wu cursed directly, "Are you out of your mind? You smashed my shop, humiliated me, and you still want to take advantage of Miss Ning? Let me tell you the truth, Miss Ning is the real boss of this shop and even Baoyuntang Company!"

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the angry Ning Jinli, then at Master Wu, and then burst into laughter, "Master Wu! You must be kidding me, this little girl who hasn't even grown her hair yet is the big boss of Baoyuntang?"

"Who the hell is messing with you!" Master Wu stood up abruptly, pointing at Boss Liu's nose and yelling, "You! Apologize to Miss Ning right now!"

Mr. Liu instantly felt he had lost face and said in a gloomy voice:

"I've always been the one with women fawning over me. Today I've actually met someone who makes me apologize to a woman. Even if this girl really is the big boss of Baoyuntang, I'm not going to apologize to her. Also, I need to change the compensation method I mentioned earlier."

He then looked at Ning Jinli with a sinister smile. Although he was sitting, his tone was condescending. "Miss Ning, oh no, Boss Ning, let me be frank. I've taken a liking to you. I can overlook the fact that you injured my people. As long as you work for me, I guarantee that your Baoyuntang company will run smoothly and that nothing like today will ever happen again."

He genuinely felt that a girl in her early twenties was not worth his attention.

Not only can he easily resolve this matter today, but he can also take down the other party as well.

Seeing that President Liu was actually taking the initiative and even becoming more and more arrogant, Ning Jinli remained relatively calm.

Enraged, Third Master Wu grabbed Boss Liu by the collar and said in a deep voice, "Are you looking for death?"

Mr. Liu patted Wu Sanye's hand with a smile, "Considering that you used to have some reputation in Xinghan City, I'm already giving you face by calling you Wu Sanye. Don't be ungrateful."

A fierce glint flashed in Wu Sanye's eyes. "So, you're thinking of going to fight me?"

“Hehe, things are different now, Wu San,” President Liu’s eyes also flashed with a fierce light as he lowered his voice and said, “I might as well tell you, you’re really not qualified to mess with me. If you really annoy me, I can crush a little Baoyuntang, and you won’t be able to stay in Xinghan City.”

"Huh? So arrogant?"

"Oh!"

With a cold laugh, President Liu forcefully shook off Master Wu's hand, patted his collar, and walked up to Ning Jinli. "Ms. Ning, did you hear what I just said?"

“I heard you,” Ning Jinli said calmly, “You told me to follow you from now on.”

Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes into slits. "Following me will only bring benefits, not harm. Are you still considering it?"

"Are you worthy?" Ning Jinli uttered three words with a half-smile.

A look of displeasure flashed in Mr. Liu's eyes. If any other woman had treated him like this before, he would have slapped her across the face. But considering that this girl was really beautiful and unique, and quite to his liking, he was willing to be more patient.

"If I'm not good enough, then no other man is."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Ning Jinli's waist. "No woman I set my sights on can escape my grasp, and you have no choice, unless you don't want your Baoyuntang Company anymore."

Just as his lewd hand was about to touch Ning Jinli's waist.

Ning Jinli suddenly grabbed his wrist. "Are you threatening me?"

Mr. Liu still wore that unsettling, greasy smile. "Yes, this is a threat. So, are you coming with me now?"

Ning Jinli slowly increased the pressure with her fingers.

Mr. Liu noticed his wrist being gripped tightly, and said with a smile, "I just heard from my men that you're quite strong, probably trained. Tsk... I like women like you even more, because they're especially exciting in bed."

Ning Jinli slowly smiled and channeled her inner energy into her five fingers.

Crack—

Accompanied by a sickening cracking sound.

Mr. Liu's wrist became deformed between her slender fingers.

"Ah!" A pig-like scream came from General Manager Liu's mouth.

He was trembling with pain, his eyes wide with disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

Ning Jinli casually let go of his hand, and he slumped to the ground, clutching his wrist and crying out in pain.

"Mr. Liu!" Several bodyguards hurriedly approached.

They didn't even have time to see clearly what had just happened.

It wasn't until they got closer that they noticed their boss's right wrist was twisted at an abnormal angle, which shocked them, and they quickly helped him up.

"You...you..." President Liu stared at Ning Jinli in shock and anger, "You actually...you actually broke my hand!"

"Breaking only one of your hands is being lenient," Ning Jinli said with a faint smile, but her eyes flashed with cold light.

Seeing such an expression on the face of a young and beautiful girl inexplicably made Mr. Liu's heart tremble.

The bodyguards who overheard the conversation between the two were all incredulous.

"Mr. Liu, your hand..."

"Did she break it?"

"How did she do that? I didn't see her use any tools!"

From a normal person's perspective, Mr. Liu's injuries were simply unbelievable. They had never seen anyone's wrist damaged like that without warning, especially since the other party was a woman.

Despite the pain, General Manager Liu roared, "It was her! I'm going to kill her! No... you can't kill her... you guys should kill her half to death first!"

"Should we take you to the hospital first?"

"Give me a damn thing! Get your hands on me!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu!"

The bodyguards dared not delay any longer and rushed towards Ning Jinli at the same time.

However, even though they are well-trained professional bodyguards, they are several levels more capable of fighting than those in baseball caps.

But after being punched by Ning Jinli, they all clutched their stomachs and knelt on the ground.

Ning Jinli had no special skills, but ordinary people simply couldn't withstand the force of her punches when she channeled her internal energy.

This was only because she didn't want to cause any deaths and was very careful to restrain herself.

Otherwise, the guy in the baseball cap earlier, and the bodyguards now, would have been killed on the spot.

At this moment, Master Wu was completely dumbfounded.

At first, when Ning Jinli kicked the sofa and broke the ribs of her two subordinates in baseball caps, he just thought that Miss Ning might have been training lately.

When Ning Jinli effortlessly knocked down the baseball cap, he thought Miss Ning had practiced quite well.

It wasn't until he saw Ning Jinli crush President Liu's wrist with her bare hands and then blow the livers off several professional bodyguards with her ordinary fists that he realized Miss Ning was excessively strong.

She's practically a superhero!

God knows what happened to her while she was away from Xinghan City.

Could it be... that he participated in some secret human modification experiment?

Only Old Yang remained calm, after all, he had already learned a lot about Ning Jinli from Shangguan Ying.

He was very fortunate that Ning Jinli was kind-hearted and of excellent character; otherwise, if someone with even slightly impure intentions had gained the same abilities as her, the world would be in danger.

Seeing that even his bodyguards were no match for Ning Jinli, Mr. Liu was so shocked by the situation that he had no idea what to do with his worldview. So, despite the excruciating pain, he took out his phone with his left hand and dialed for help.

"Young Master Yang... Help... Help me!"

"I must have seen a ghost this time... otherwise I really wouldn't dare trouble you..."

"No... no matter how good a fighter is, it won't work. There's a girl here who's practically inhuman! Only... only you, Young Master Yang, can personally intervene..."

"Antique shop, yes, Bao Yun Tang!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be waiting for you!"

After much pleading and cajoling, the person on the other end of the phone finally agreed to come and take a look.

Mr. Liu was finally relieved.

Old Yang raised his arm to check his watch, thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to Ning Jinli's side. "Miss Ning, I still have to see my brother. How about we hand these people over to the police? I'll tell them to investigate thoroughly later."

Ning Jinli also felt that continuing like this would waste time, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

She then took out one of her bodyguards' phones and gave it to Mr. Wu, asking him to call the police and explain the situation.

She and Lao Yang left the antique shop first.

By the time Young Master Yang, whom Mr. Liu had asked for help, arrived at the antique shop, the door was already closed.

When Yang Shao couldn't get through to Boss Liu by phone, he asked his men to inquire in the neighborhood. They found out that a group of police officers had come by about ten minutes before he arrived and taken everyone away.

Upon learning of this situation, Young Master Yang was not worried at all and immediately had his driver take him there as well.

Once at the police station, he brought out Mr. Liu and the others in less than half an hour and took them to the hospital for treatment.

"I said, are all the men under your command pigs?"

Upon learning of the situation, Young Master Yang flew into a rage in President Liu's hospital room, "All I did was teach Master Wu a lesson, and you've turned this into a mess! I have to go and bail you all out!"

Mr. Liu said tremblingly, "Young Master Yang... I never expected it to turn out like this. That woman... she's not normal! She's not human! She could crush my wrist with her bare hands!"

"Alright! Stop spouting nonsense!" Young Master Yang was furious and had no intention of believing the incredible story Liu was describing.

Mr. Liu cried with snot and tears streaming down his face. "Young Master Yang... you can choose not to believe me, but this hand of mine is truly ruined! It's all that woman's fault, Young Master Yang, you must stand up for me!"
