The conference room was deathly silent, as if even breathing had been cut off, and fear permeated the air.
Despite Li Longquan's notorious reputation within the company and the flood of negative comments about him among the employees, they dared not show their anger because he was Xia Zhonghai's brother-in-law and no one dared to provoke him.
However, today Li Longquan suffered an unprecedented and devastating blow, the state of which is astonishing.
His lips were twisted, several teeth were scattered on the ground, and blood gushed out like a burst dam, staining his clothes red.
"Who...who the hell...dares...dares to hit me?"
Li Longquan endured the excruciating pain, his roar filled with trembling disbelief.
Before the words were finished, a voice as cold as an icy blade pierced the air, "Those who insult my wife can only atone with their death. If I didn't want your blood to taint this place, you would already be a corpse."
Upon hearing this, the temperature in the meeting room plummeted, and everyone shivered, a chill creeping into their hearts.
Li Longquan barely managed to raise his head. In his line of sight, a young man in black sat quietly, with sword-like eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and a cold and expressionless face. He was Xia Xue's husband, Wu Tian.
At this moment, he finally understood why Xia Zhonghai had repeatedly warned him never to provoke Wu Tian; it turned out that Wu Tian was extremely skilled.
But in the territory of the Xia Group, how could Li Longquan easily swallow this insult?
"You...you dare to hit me! You won't leave here alive today!"
He gritted his teeth, his hatred overflowing, and quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie, roaring, "Everyone, get to the conference room immediately!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and they were all filled with worry.
Li Longquan's arrogance stemmed not only from his relationship with Xia Zhonghai, but also from the security team he commanded, composed of thugs who were all menacing and feared by all.
Now, Wu Tian's open challenge has undoubtedly placed him in the eye of the storm.
Everyone thought to themselves: Wu Tian is probably going to pay a heavy price.
Beside her, Xiao Cai hurriedly leaned down and whispered to Xia Xue, "Chairwoman Xia, perhaps... we should let Mr. Wu step aside first. After all, the security guards under Li Longquan are not to be trifled with."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue simply smiled calmly, a smile that conveyed an undeniable confidence and composure.
She brought Wu Tian to the company's grand event with her, intending to use his swift and decisive influence to eliminate obstacles like Li Longquan.
Seeing that Xia Xue showed no fear, Xiao Cai's worry intensified. In his anxiety, his voice trembled slightly: "Chairwoman Xia, I... I'm not exaggerating, those people..."
Xia Xue responded with a bright smile, her words overflowing with pride for Wu Tian: "My brother Tian is invincible. A few security guards are nothing to worry about."
She had witnessed Wu Tian's skills firsthand. Even the fourth brother, who was known as one of the Four Great Vajras of Linhai City, couldn't withstand a single move from him. Compared to him, the security guards under Li Longquan were nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree.
This time, she wanted to take this opportunity to let those self-righteous security guards witness firsthand who the real mastermind behind the company was.
Xiao Cai's gaze involuntarily fell on Wu Tian, whose face was calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about the impending challenge. His composure seemed to have dissolved all risks into nothingness.
At this moment, Xiao Cai's doubts gradually dissipated, and she seemed to understand why Xia Xue had asked Wu Tian to attend the meeting as well.
Although her worries had not completely dissipated, a glimmer of hope had risen in her heart.
She hoped that Wu Tian could put an end to the arrogance of those security guards.
Before long, hurried and heavy footsteps began to echo in the corridor outside the conference room, accompanied by the clanging of metal, clearly indicating that the security team, fully armed, was on their way.
The tension in the air was palpable, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
Wu Tian remained unmoved; there was no fear in his eyes, only a stronger determination.
He slowly stood up, his posture upright, like an unshakable mountain.
He looked at Li Longquan, a faint smile playing on his lips. The smile contained both disdain for his opponent and a calm acceptance of what was about to happen.
"Li Longquan, right? Xia Zhonghai's brother-in-law, right? Call all your helpers at once, so I don't have to worry about it."
Wu Tian's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, involuntarily intimidating them with its imposing presence.
Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of security guards in black uniforms rushed in, carrying batons and looking fierce, clearly ready for a fight.
However, when they saw Wu Tian's calm and composed demeanor, they were all stunned for a moment, and their momentum instantly weakened.
At this moment, Li Longquan's finger pointed directly at Wu Tian like a sharp arrow, his anger boiling in his chest. He almost roared, "Break his limbs...break them for me..."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a heavy gloom instantly settled over everyone's hearts.
Li Longquan's name is legendary, and his decisive actions are chilling.
Without hesitation, he tried to break Wu Tian's limbs.
However, facing this sudden and overwhelming threat, as well as Li Longquan's menacing subordinates, Wu Tian smiled calmly, a hint of unruliness playing on his lips: "Fine, bring it on then, I want to see who has that kind of ability."
His voice, though soft, was firm and resounding, causing the crowd's momentum to weaken involuntarily, yet they still hesitated to move forward because of Li Longquan's order.
Just as the atmosphere reached its limit, seemingly about to explode, a majestic voice ripped through the sky like thunder: "Stop it, all of you!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xia Zhonghai stride into the conference room, his face terribly gloomy.
"Brother-in-law..."
Upon seeing Xia Zhonghai, Li Longquan felt as if he had found a pillar of support. He hurriedly struggled to get up, but due to the severity of his injuries, he had to lie back down.
Xia Zhonghai glanced at him, saw his face swollen like a pig's head, felt a pang of pain, but ignored him. Instead, he walked straight to Wu Tian, looked at him deeply, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao...Xiao Tian, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll handle Li Longquan."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, exchanging bewildered glances with disbelief written all over their faces.
In everyone's memory, Xia Zhonghai was an extremely protective person. When did he not try his best to defend his good-for-nothing brother-in-law?
This time, when Li Longquan was beaten by Wu Tian, instead of speaking up for Li Longquan, he apologized to Wu Tian and even threatened to punish Li Longquan.
Li Longquan was even more shocked and cried out, "Brother-in-law, he beat me up like this..."
"Shut up!" Xia Zhonghai's voice was as cold as ice, interrupting him. "From this moment on, you are no longer an employee of our company. Get out now!"
