Upon seeing Huang Ming, Zhu Xiaoqiao immediately feigned tears and began to sob as she told him:
"Brother Ming, Zhou Mufeng raped me while he was drunk, and they're denying it. Waaah~ I'm so ashamed! You have to help me get revenge!"
Seeing her pretentious act, Huang Ming felt nauseous, but then he thought he could use this opportunity to deflate Jian Mian's arrogance, so he deliberately went up to her, hugged her, and coaxed her.
“Baby, don’t be afraid. You are my woman, Huang Ming’s woman. I will definitely get justice for you if anyone dares to bully you.”
Upon seeing this, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"You two are such a loving couple! If my husband really did something to this woman, and you were cheated on, you would still be so magnanimous. I really admire you!"
Zhu Xiaoqiao was so angry that her chest heaved, and she dared not speak. If she said she hadn't done the rape, it would be to please Lin Miaomiao; if she had, it would be to slap Huang Ming in the face.
Unexpectedly, Huang Ming put his hand on her shoulder and said:
"It's alright, Mr. Lin, if you can overlook this, why should I, a grown man, care!"
"You should really think about how to handle this. If you don't give us an explanation, tomorrow's headlines will probably be about the owner of Jianmian Clothing raping another woman. Then, Wenwan Group will likely be implicated too!"
As expected, experience is the best teacher. Huang Ming cleverly avoided Miao Miao's trap and only emphasized handling the matter.
Miaomiao wasn't one to be trifled with either, and snorted:
"Jianmian Apparel is my company, and it has nothing to do with Wenwan Group, so how could it be involved? Besides, trying to bring down Jianmian with baseless accusations is just too naive. If you don't believe me, you can have someone check the semen on your lover's body to see if there's anyone else's besides yours."
"Mr. Huang, please don't sue yourself."
Huang Ming felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at Zhou Mufeng, who was still unconscious, and then thought about how he had just slept with Zhu Xiaoqiao that morning. If they were to get checked, it might really be as she said: only his own body was found.
Zhu Xiaoqiao, Zhu Xiaoqiao, if I had known you were up to something, I shouldn't have fooled around with you this morning.
Looking at Zhu Xiaoqiao's face again, it was already deathly pale, and she was probably filled with regret.
"No, I was lying naked next to him. If word gets out, it won't be good for your company. You have to compensate me!" Zhu Xiaoqiao changed her tone.
Originally, she planned to sleep with Zhou Mufeng so that he would give her a proper status, but now that things have come to this point and Huang Ming has come, she can only ask for some money to settle the matter.
"Pah!" Lin Miaomiao spat on the ground, revealing a different, more江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) demeanor than usual.
"A slut like you doesn't deserve it! You're used to being ridden like a dog by old men, and you still dare to ask for compensation? I'll give you a million, do you have the nerve to take it?"
Miaomiao finally understood that Zhou Mufeng had been framed.
At this moment, Chu Yi had already dressed Zhou Mufeng and even took out a voice recorder from his pocket.
He listened to the recording and excitedly reminded Miaomiao.
"President Lin, President Zhou has been drugged; there's something in his drink."
Miaomiao took the recorder and gave him the order:
"Go quickly and collect all the wine and glasses from the table outside. I need them tested. Then call someone to take Mu Feng to the hospital."
The sudden appearance of evidence threw Huang Ming into a panic.
He gave his men a wink, and they blocked Chu Yi's path.
"Get out of the way if you don't want to die!" Chu Yi roared.
Facing four or five burly men, Chu Yi clenched his fists, his muscles began to swell with blood, and the muscles in his shoulders immediately bulged.
After a flurry of punches and kicks, Huang Ming's men were all knocked to the ground, groaning in pain.
With their limited skills, they're no match for a first-year junior high student.
Soon, Chu Yi's men arrived, escorting Zhou Mufeng and Lin Miaomiao to the hospital while taking Zhu Xiaoqiao and the others into custody and handing them over to the police.
After Zhou Mufeng arrived at the hospital, the doctors performed emergency treatment on him and found traces of a sedative in his body.
No drug was found in the wine received on the first day of the lunar month, but a large amount of drug ingredients were found on the inside of the wine glass.
After testing, Zhu Xiaoqiao was found to have only Huang Ming's bodily fluids in her body. Under police questioning, she confessed to framing Zhou Mufeng.
Subsequently, Zhu Peiwen was also arrested and charged with intentional injury; sentencing will be announced at a later date.
Although Huang Ming was also questioned, he insisted that he and Zhu Xiaoqiao were in a romantic relationship. He only helped her seek justice, and even though she was injured, no one held him responsible.
After learning about this, Lu Wanqing used her connections to impose the most severe punishment on Zhu Xiaoqiao and Zhu Peiwen, who had framed Mu Feng.
Zhu Xiaoqiao was the mastermind and was sentenced to ten years in prison. Zhu Peiwen sold all her assets to compensate for the losses and was eventually sentenced to five years.
When Lu Wanqing heard that Huang Ming had also escaped punishment, she felt a surge of resentment.
Huang Ming, this name sounds familiar.
Previously, when Mu Feng mentioned him to Miao Miao, he only said that he was a boss surnamed Huang, and she never thought that he was Huang Ming.
Unexpectedly, after he was released, he started a logistics company and made it big and successful.
These recent incidents targeting Jian Mian are likely his way of retaliating against her out of spite.
I've dragged Miaomiao and the others down with me.
"Miaomiao, I'm so sorry, I almost dragged the group down with me." Mu Feng felt very guilty.
If this matter escalates, it will definitely have an impact on the group and Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing waved her hand and sighed, "It's not your fault. Huang Ming and I have had a grudge for twenty years."
She told them about how she had just started her clothing business.
Miaomiao was very uneasy after hearing this: "Mom, will you be in danger? I heard that Huang Ming is very well-connected in the underworld."
Lu Wanqing patted her shoulder to comfort her: "It's okay, I have several bodyguards around me, and ordinary people can't get close. Besides, I'm a celebrity now, the more high-profile I am, the less they dare to make any rash moves."
"But you guys are the ones who are most afraid of them using underhanded tactics."
What she was most worried about was their personal safety.
Money can be earned back, but if something bad happens to a person, she'll regret it terribly.
Unfortunately, I don't have any space left now, otherwise I would have gone and killed him right away.
If we want to get rid of Huang Ming, we can only wait for an opportunity.
Before we could even figure out how to deal with him, things got complicated again with Huang Ming.
This story begins on the west side of the Zhonghe River in Yushan County.
Back then, Lu Wanqing had Lin Ye buy thirty acres of wasteland on the west bank of the river, and later planted trees there.
After twenty years, those trees have grown to be as thick as a bowl.
After years of development, Yushan County has become much more prosperous, and that piece of land has become particularly well-located, making it a highly sought-after commodity.
However, for many years, no one knew who owned that land.
Huang Ming took a liking to that piece of land and wanted to cut down the trees to build a logistics center connecting the north and south. He heard from the neighborhood committee that the landowner was not selling, so he started causing trouble.
