Chapter 76 - The Devilish Beauty
"You don’t have to worry at all. President Xu didn’t share these designs with anybody at all. Even if she claimed, the designs belong to her, she won’t be able to prove it at all. Don’t forget my share at all. I’ve given you the whole collaboration plan and President Xu’s personal designs. If Jade Stones betrayed me, I won’t be foolish like President Xu. I’ll take you down all the way." The recording ended there. Everyone heard Manager Ching’s voice clearly.
"You can’t put me in jail for this at all." Manager Ching snickered. "You’re still a young little girl. You don’t know how this world works at all. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to steal from you." He laughed menacingly at the end.
Xu Mey was giving him a particular look like she was amused by him. She shook her head and said, "Mr Ching..." He looked at her standing from her seat and walking towards him. She stood face to face. "Do you think if I wanted those designs or my collaboration plan to be saved, they would have gotten into your hands?" He frowned at her words. She smirked. "You were able to get them because I let you. CoCo Jewels was a bait I threw and you along with Jade Stones caught it like hungry wolves." She clicked her tongue. "Tsk... My original goal had always been Sapphire Designs. Why would I choose a goldfish like CoCo Jewels when I have a whale like Sapphire Designs in my pond?"
Manager Ching understood her meaning clearly. She played him. And he didn’t even realize it at all. "Security!" Her voice rang out and security officers dragged a stunned Manager Ching out of the conference hall.
Xu Mey sat back at her seat with her cold aura still present. "Let me say it again if you think I’m not capable, come at me from the front. I don’t like backstabbers. And don’t forget, when people say I have two eyes on my back, they are not kidding at all. What I hate the most is a betrayal. So, you all better remember, who I am and how far I can go." With that Xu Mey left the conference hall. She was seething in fury.
Qin Hao was walking behind her when she abruptly stopped. "You stay here. I have something to deal with." Leaving Qin Hao behind, Xu Mey left the company hailing a cab for herself.
She came to a deserted area in the northern district of the city. She asked the cab driver to drop her off in the middle of nowhere and started walking. After walking for about 15 minutes, she arrived at a warehouse.
Manager Ching was sitting on an old chair and 4 men were surrounding him. As they saw Xu Mey, 4 men bowed to her and Mr Ching was scared out of his wits.
"You can’t take law in your hands, President Xu. Consequences will be dire." He warned her to scare her off. But the poor guy didn’t know that the devil was not scared of any human.
"Oh, really... I didn’t know that... Did you guys know?" She looked at the 4 men and all of them shook their head. "Let me tell you something Mr Ching, I am the law here." She enunciated her each word as her face was so close to his face that he could see her cold eyes freezing his soul.
There was some movement outside and after a while, a group of dozen people marched inside with guns in their hands. The guns were pointed at Xu Mey and her men. Facing the guns and the murderous aura of those people, Xu Mey was unfazed.
"Haha..." Mr Ching laughed loudly. "Are you scared now, Xu Mey?" He took her silence to be her fear. "But it doesn’t matter anymore. Even if you beg on your knees, I won’t let you go."
"Scared?" She snickered. She looked at their uniforms and said, "Since when did Qilin Group’s people get so gutsy?" She pointed at the man at the front. "Hey, you! Your boss is on that earpiece right?" She pointed her chin at the earpiece in his ear. "Put him on speaker for this lady." The man didn’t know why he listened to her. He thought her authoritative pressure was too strong for him to withstand.
"Wayne Kai, did you eat the guts of a tiger that you’re pointing a gun at this lady?" Hearing a familiar voice, the man at the other side of the phone was stunned.
"Is... Is this... The devilish beauty?" He stuttered.
"What do you think, bastard?" She roared making him fall from his chair.
"Fu*k! Fu*k! Fu*k!" He cursed loudly. "Now I know why I had a bad premonition about this mission." He said softly. "Look, my great aunt, I didn’t know it was you. If I knew that do you think I would mess with someone like you?" He was cursing the moment he listened to one of his acquaintances to help Mr Ching. As much as he was familiar with her, there was no way he had the guts or power to face her backer.
"You’re people still have guns which are pointed at my head, " Her voice was calm and languid as if talking about the weather.
Wayne Kai gulped. "All of you rascals!" He roared at his people. "Put your damn guns down. Right now!"
All of his people shared a look and put their guns down. Seeing this, Mr Ching lost whatever energy he had but he didn’t want to lose to her. "I’ll pay you with as much money as you ask for. Any of you just have to get rid of this sl*t for me." That was his last resolve.
One of Wayne’s people had a twinkling look in his eyes after he heard this. "I’ll do it, " He announced.
"Didn’t I say back off!" Wayne Kai was furious with a vein bulging out of his forehead. He was losing his mind just listening to them.
"Boss, I can take of her by myself." He pointed his gun at her again as he said that. With a murderous look in his eyes.
