Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 520 Threat

Chapter 520 Threat

"Bang--"

Ji Wan pushed open the heavy door of the box.

The deafening music came to an abrupt end, and the scene of clinking glasses and reveling in the box froze in an instant.

In the main seat, a fat-bellied man was hugging two scantily clad women. It was Mr. Liu, Liu Mingde, who had unilaterally breached the contract and wanted to poach Chi's core project.

He had a cigar in his mouth. When he saw Ji Wan at the door, he was stunned at first, and then a hypocritical smile appeared on his face, but the smile was so greasy that it was disgusting.

"Hey, isn't this Director Ji? What brings you here today?" Liu Mingde slowly put down his wine glass, his eyes roaming unscrupulously over Ji Wan's exquisite figure. "Oh, no, should I call you Acting President Ji now? My apologies!"

The men and women around him also started laughing, their words full of frivolity and disdain.

Ji Wan ignored those dirty looks and walked straight to Liu Mingde. His eyes were as cold as a knife tempered with ice. "Boss Liu, let's be frank. You unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement with Chi Corporation and even tried to steal our people and projects. You are really calculating."

The fat on Liu Mingde's face trembled. He blew out a puff of smoke and said slowly, "Acting President Ji, the business world is like a battlefield, and wise birds choose trees to roost in. Mr. Chi's current situation...is unclear, and our company also has to consider its own future. Isn't that understandable?"

"Nothing wrong?"

Ji Wan sneered, his voice suddenly rising, "The Chi family has treated you well. Don't you know how much money you've taken from them over the years? Now that Chi Wenyan has fallen, you can't wait to step on him and look for a better branch?"

Liu Mingde's expression changed slightly and he waved his hands impatiently.

"Ji Wan, what do you, a woman, know? The Chi family's ship is about to sink, and I just jumped overboard to protect myself! If you know what's good for you, don't block my path to wealth!"

"Blocking your path to wealth?" Ji Wan's lips curled up in a cold arc. She took out a small USB flash drive from her handbag and gently placed it on the glass table in front of Liu Mingde, making a light "click" sound.

"Mr. Liu, this is the backup of the surveillance footage of you in Room 808 of the Ye Se Lan Shan Club three years ago."

In the picture, the little star named Meng Feifei was crying so miserably.

The smile on Liu Mingde's face froze instantly, his pupils suddenly contracted, and fine beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

He stared at the USB drive intently, as if he had seen some evil spirit that was taking his life.

"You...where did you get it?!" His voice was distorted by fear and became sharp and piercing.

"It doesn't matter where I got it." Ji Wan leaned forward slightly, and every word he said was like a hammer hitting Liu Mingde's heart. "What matters is, if this thing appears on the desk of the disciplinary inspection department tomorrow, or on the front page of major media, guess what, Mr. Liu, will still be able to sit here and drink in peace?"

The box was completely silent, with even the sound of breathing clearly audible. The men and women who had been laughing and joking were now as still as cicadas, not daring to make a sound.

Liu Mingde's face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue. His lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.

If the charge of raping a female celebrity is proven, not only will he be ruined, he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Ji Wan looked at his embarrassed appearance with indifference and continued, "Now, you have two choices. First, immediately terminate contact with the Brilliant Group and continue to fulfill the contract with the Chi family. I can pretend that everything that happened before never happened."

She paused, her voice like the chill of December. "Second, continue your 'choosing the best tree for the best bird' approach. I promise that before sunrise tomorrow, you'll receive a court summons and a police arrest warrant. Choose one."

Liu Mingde shuddered, his shirt soaked with sweat. He looked into Ji Wan's emotionless eyes, and the last shred of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

This woman was not the gentle design director he had imagined. She was a vicious she-wolf!

"I...I choose the first one! I choose the first one!"

Liu Mingde practically rolled and crawled off the sofa, his voice tinged with tears, "Ji... President Ji! President Ji, it's my fault for not recognizing a great man! It's my fault for being confused! Let's continue with the contract! We must continue!"

He picked up the bottle on the table, tremblingly poured himself a large glass of wine, and handed it to Ji Wan with both hands: "President Ji, please be magnanimous and don't bother with a villain like me! This glass of wine is my apology!"

Ji Wan didn't even glance at the glass of wine, his eyes still cold: "Remember your words. If there is a next time, the contents of this USB drive will be sent directly to where it belongs."

She put away the USB drive and turned around without a trace of nostalgia.

"Go back to your place and take care of your people."

After saying this, Ji Wan left the box without looking back. The sound of her high heels gradually faded away in the corridor, and each step seemed to be stepping on Liu Mingde's heart.

It was not until the figure completely disappeared that Liu Mingde's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

The other people in the box looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.

They had never imagined that a woman could have such a terrifying aura and means.

Ji Wan walked out of "Golden Splendor", the night wind blew her hair, she took a deep breath, and the depression in her chest was slightly relieved.

Stabilizing Liu Mingde was only the first step. Next, there was a tougher battle to fight.

She took out her cell phone and dialed a number: "PR Department, get ready, I have to attend the press conference in person tomorrow."

Chi Wenyan, just lie down and keep quiet. The Chi family has me here.

The next day, Chi Group held a press conference.

Spotlights poured down like a torrential downpour, clearly outlining Ji Wan's figure. Dressed in a well-tailored black business suit, with delicate makeup and a sharp gaze, she faced the countless cameras and probing gazes from the audience without the slightest hesitation.

"Mr. Ji, is it true that there are rumors that Huihuang Group intends to poach Mr. Liu Mingde and replace Chi's original cooperation project?" A reporter asked in a sharp tone.

Ji Wan's red lips parted slightly, and her voice was clearly heard throughout the conference room through the microphone: "First of all, thank you all media friends for your concern for the Chi Group. Secondly, the 'rumors' you mentioned are pure nonsense. The cooperation between Chi and Mingde Group has always been stable and pleasant, and Mr. Liu Mingde has also made it clear that he will continue to work hand in hand with Chi."

Her gaze swept across the audience, her expression filled with unquestionable authority. "The Chi Group's foundation is solid, and it cannot be easily shaken by any scoundrel. Any attempt to disrupt market order or engage in unfair competition will be dealt with to the end by the Chi Group, and we reserve the right to pursue legal action."
