Chapter 208 Reputation Ruined, Utter Bankruptcy
"Who ordered us? A woman surnamed Zhou, we don't know her exact name, we're just doing our jobs for money, we really don't know anything about the employer!"
"We'll never do it again, please forgive us this once..."
In the video, the two petty thieves are still begging for mercy with tears streaming down their faces.
After the video finished playing, Kong Wange looked at Murong Ting.
Murong Ting immediately understood and said to the audience, "If anyone still has any questions, I, Murong Ting, will pay for a chartered plane to take you to the shop where I bought this jade stone, so that we can confront the shop owner face to face."
"Young Master Ting, there's no need for all this trouble. Isn't it obvious? This jade was stolen from your wife by the Kong family!" someone immediately responded from below the stage.
"Have the Kong family no shame? They actually resorted to robbery! Who would dare buy this jade now? It's a good thing the deal didn't go through!"
"The key point is that they dared to organize an auction after stealing other people's things; they're really obsessed with money!"
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Kong Wange calmly said, "Everyone, a few days ago I took this piece of jade to a jade shop to have it made into a jade artifact, but I was robbed on the way. I never expected that the person behind it was my stepmother. It's one thing for her to hire someone to rob me, but I never expected that they would dare to put it up for auction. I couldn't bear to see everyone being deceived by them, so I stood up. Now that all the facts are in front of me, I believe the Kong family has nothing more to say in the argument."
She looked at Kong Mengjiao with a leisurely air and said, "Right, my dear sister?"
Kong Mengjiao trembled all over and screamed, "No, you framed me, you framed me! The trending topics, yes, the trending topics! It clearly said on the trending topics that the jade was cut out of the stone..."
Kong Wange scoffed, "Oh, you believe things online? I was wondering why you lied about jade coming out of rocks after seeing the trending topics. I was thinking how you came up with such a creative idea."
Kong Mengjiao was stunned. What had she just said?
Before she could recover from her daze, "slap!" Kong Zhizhao slapped her hard across the face.
Kong Mengjiao stumbled from the blow and fell to the ground.
Zhou Liru, who was standing to the side, was also terrified. After a moment, she rushed over and pulled Kong Mengjiao, asking, "Jiaojiao, are you alright?"
Kong Zhizhao looked at the two men on the ground, furious: "You two idiots, you actually conspired to cheat me, stealing things from others and auctioning them off! You have utterly disgraced the Kong family!"
He turned to look at the onlookers with a embarrassed expression, and tried to appease them, saying, "Everyone, I really didn't know anything about the jade. It was all my wife and daughter's fault for causing this blunder in such an inappropriate way. Our Kong family actually has some other treasures. What do you think..."
"Tch, your Kong family is almost bankrupt. If you still had any treasures, would you have waited until today?"
"Even if there really is treasure, who knows what illegitimate means it came from? Who would dare to take it!"
"That's right, we'll just get into a lawsuit, won't we? Let's get out of here, let's get out of here! We need to stay away from the Kong family from now on, and we absolutely can't do business with them. That family is just outrageous!"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly."
Seeing this, Kong Zhizhao panicked and rushed down to desperately try to persuade them to stay: "President Li, President Zhao, don't go... Hey, President Chen, President Zhang, you..."
No one listened to Kong Zhizhao. A group of people who had just been gathered here enthusiastically participating in the dance party suddenly dispersed in a large group.
Looking at the mess of cups and plates, Kong Zhizhao instantly aged ten years.
Kong Wange stood there, watching Kong Zhizhao stagger back with a hunched back, her gaze cold and devoid of any warmth.
Upon seeing her, Kong Zhizhao immediately launched into a tirade: "I, Kong Zhizhao, have raised a heartless ingrate! Not only does she not help your father, but she also turns around and bites people! Kong Wange, you ungrateful bastard!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward to hit Kong Wange.
"Ahhhhh..."
However, before he could even touch Kong Wange, Murong Ting grabbed his wrist.
Murong Ting's eyes were sharp, and his aura was terrifying.
He forcefully threw Kong Zhizhao over, then walked step by step to him, looking down at him and saying, "Say another word, and I'll make sure you never speak again for the rest of your life."
Kong Zhizhao was intimidated by Murong Ting's imposing manner and stammered, unable to utter a word.
Seeing his expression, Kong Wange walked over and said, "Kong Zhizhao, you've been cursing heaven and earth, haven't you ever thought that you'd brought this upon yourself?"
Kong Zhizhao gritted his teeth: "What did I do wrong? All I wanted was money, to revive my company. Is that wrong?"
Kong Wange's cold gaze felt like steel needles piercing him: "You want money, you want status, you want power, none of that matters, because you've always been such a shallow person. But your mistake was that after marrying my mother, you cheated on her and married another woman, and had a child with her. Didn't you ever think that you're where you are today because my mother is watching over you from heaven, and that you're getting your just desserts!"
Speaking of Wen Xing, Kong Zhizhao's lips moved, and after a long while, he trembled as he said, "You...you deliberately retaliated against me to avenge your mother?"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head, staggered to her, and said kindly, "Wange, after this commotion, no one will cooperate with the Kong family anymore. Even if you have a lot of resentment, it should have subsided by now, right? Look at us, look at how our once glorious Kong family has become. We have nothing left. Isn't that enough?"
Kong Wange looked at her coldly: "Do you think that's enough?"
She approached Kong Zhizhao step by step, watching him fall to the ground, her eyes devoid of any sympathy: "Kong Zhizhao, you've only lost your money and power now, but what about my mother's life? What will you use to compensate for it?"
Kong Zhizhao's teeth chattered: "Wange, if you're angry, take it out on me, I accept that, but please, Dad, let Liru off the hook, okay? She's pregnant, only three months along..."
Kong Wange was slightly taken aback. Before she could speak, Zhou Liru behind her suddenly shouted, "Old Kong, why don't you beg her! Haven't you realized? She's a madwoman. She just wants to kill us! What's the use of begging her?"
After saying that, she turned her head and glared at Kong Wange with a vicious look on her face, saying, "I regret that I didn't go easy on you back then, and that you grew up to be a menace. You little bitch should have died with your mother long ago!"
Kong Wange suddenly turned cold.
She turned her head, her eyes sharp as ice: "Zhou Liru, you finally admit it, you're the one who poisoned my mother."
Zhou Liru went into a frenzy: "So what if it is? You deserve to die, and your mother, that bitch, deserves to die even more! Hahaha... I only hate that the abortion pill was so useless; the baby didn't die, but the older one did."
