Inside the Zhong Group's large flat, everyone looked with disdain at Chen Aotian.

Unable to hold back, Yuan Qianqian burst out laughing, "Chen Aotian, just look at yourself. You're as rustic as a country bumpkin who came from the mountains, yet you dare to spout bold words. It's funny enough to make my teeth fall out."

"Chen Aotian," she continued, "the last time you weren't beaten to death was pure luck."

Zhong Mingfeng, a smirk spread across his face, looked at him as if he was beneath his notice. "I would advise you to get lost immediately and stop humiliating yourself here. Otherwise, I will kill you this time," he taunted.

It was a mistake that he didn't kill Chen Aotian last time.

If he made a move this time, he would make sure that Chen Aotian wouldn't have a place to be buried.

"You're asking for death!"

Enraged, Chen Aotian shouted and his figure expanded dramatically!

Like a gust of wind, he appeared in front of Zhong Mingfeng in an instant.

With a swift motion of his hand, he landed a slap on Zhong Mingfeng's left cheek.

"Ah!"

A cry echoed through the hall like a pig being slaughtered, as Zhong Mingfeng was sent flying five meters and landed heavily on the ground.

His head was bloody and the pain was unbearable.

"Mingfeng!"

Shock drained Yuan Qianqian's face of color, as she hurried over to him.

"Hiss——"

Most people at the scene couldn't help but gasp at this sight.

One slap had sent Zhong Mingfeng flying out?

Everyone felt terrified as they looked at Chen Aotian, not expecting him to dare to make a move!

"Damn it!"

Zhong Mingfeng, covering his bleeding face, fiercely pushed Yuan Qianqian to the side.

Feeling that he had suffered a great insult, he gritted his teeth and swore with a mixture of embarrassment and rage, "Chen Aotian, if I don't beat you to death today, I will take your surname!"

"Bring him to me, skin him, break his tendons, and feed his corpse to the dogs!"

At this order, over a dozen black-clad bodyguards quickly surrounded Chen Aotian.

"Swish swish swish——"

The bodyguards took out machetes from their waists, raised their arms high, ready to chop Chen Aotian into mincemeat at any time.

But at this moment, a cold and noble female voice suddenly came, "Stop!"

As soon as these words landed, the bodyguards all stopped their movements and looked towards the source of the sound.

Only to see Xu Yingxia strolling in, with several robust suit-clad bodyguards following behind her.

"Miss... Miss Xu?"

"It's Xu Bannian's granddaughter, Xu Yingxia?!"

"She's among the top tier people in Linzhou, what's she doing here?!"

Everyone was astonished. No one had suspected that the legendary beauty, superior above others, Xu Yingxia would come here!

Similarly shocked was Yuan Qianqian, who had heard about Linzhou's beauty, Xu Yingxia, since her university years.

A beautiful face, an impressive background.

Such a woman is simply perfect.

Yuan Qianqian both admired and envied her, dreaming of becoming a woman like Xu Yingxia.

Among the people present, only Zhong Mingfeng had an uneasy feeling.

He heard it loud and clear; Xu Yingxia had just told him to back off!

"Miss Xu, it's an honor to have you here. Why didn't you notify me in advance so I could arrange a welcome?"

Zhong Mingfeng changed the subject, intending to test the waters.

After all, Xu Yingxia was betting on much higher stakes, and his Zhong Corporation, even with all its wealth, was no match for her.

Little did he know, Xu Yingxia gave him no face and cut straight to the chase: "Zhong Mingfeng, I'm protecting Chen Aotian. Tell your men to scram."

After saying that, she turned to the bodyguards standing by and said: "Clear the area."

The bodyguards waved their hands upon her command, signaling the guests to evacuate.

Upon Miss Xu's command, everyone dared not linger, fleeing away hurriedly as if they were afraid of causing trouble.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Mingfeng was filled with rage. Yet, he dare not confront Xu Yingxia, so he asked, "Miss Xu, today is my wedding day, what are you trying to do?"

In response to his words, Xu Yingxia didn’t even bother to look at him. Instead, she turned to Chen Aotian and said, "Chen Aotian, you are free to deal with them as you please, as long as no lives are lost."

"Thank you, Miss Xu," Chen Aotian thanked her.

Then, his face chilled as he strode towards Zhong Mingfeng.

Upon hearing what they said, Yuan Qianqian was terrified to her core, her entire body trembling.

She never expected that the young lady of the Xu family had come to back up Chen Aotian.

Zhong Mingfeng was scared out of his wits, warning in panic, "Chen Aotian, I suggest you scram. If you dare touch me, I will make you pay bitterly in the future!"

"Humph, with your capability?"

Chen Aotian coldly huffed, standing in front of him, "As Miss Xu mentioned earlier, she forbids me from killing you, but I can cripple you, confining you to bed for a lifetime!"

As his words fell, an invisible wave of terrifying killing intent erupted from him.

This murderous aura stabbed into Zhong Mingfeng's guts like a freezing dagger, causing him to almost suffocate from fear.

"Chen Aotian, I...I am telling you, I have someone who supports me. He was the one who made me ruin the Chen family those years ago. If you want revenge, go find him. I was merely his pawn,” Zhong Mingfeng stuttered out, truly scared.

"Do you actually believe I would trust you?" Chen Aotian’s eyes were piercingly cold.

Zhong Mingfeng trembled, his voice shaking as he said, "Have you not considered that... back then, I was merely your father's adopted son. How could I have any power to ruin the Chen Corporation?

Hearing this, Chen Aotian furrowed his brows.

Actually, he too had always been puzzled about this issue. Zhong Mingfeng surely had some skill, but in the end, he was just his father's adopted son, lacking real power or family connections.

Under such circumstances, how was he able to ruin the Chen family in such a short time?

Seeing Chen Aotian's hesitation, Zhong Mingfeng knew his chance had come and swiftly said, "I have no reason to deceive you about this matter. Just set me free, and I will tell you who was directing me."

Chen Aotian sneered suddenly, "Spare you? You think that's possible?"

Regardless of who the puppeteer behind the scenes was back then, Zhong Mingfeng has to pay the price.

"You..."

Before Zhong Mingfeng could finish, Chen Aotian slapped him across the face.

This slap was utterly forceful; Zhong Mingfeng felt as if he'd been hit by a train, flying backward ten or more meters.

Finally, with a thunderous crash, he fell to the ground.

"Ah!!"

The screams, reminiscent of a pig being slaughtered, resounded continually. Zhong Mingfeng's face was a bloody pulp. All over his body were gashes from which blood flowed non-stop.

Looking at a pitiful Zhong Mingfeng, who was as wretched as a dog at death's door, Yuan Qianqian was astounded.

She even wondered if she was dreaming?

In her eyes, Zhong Minghui was the most perfect man in the world, affluent, influential, and handsome, the most important thing was that he had an extraordinarily high EQ.

Compared to Chen Aotian, it was quite simply a sky and earth difference.

But now, the fallen Chen Aotian had actually made a domineering comeback, grinding the perfect man in her heart into the ground.

Yuan Qianqian couldn't believe it, nor could she accept it, at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of regret.

After dealing with Zhong Minghui, Chen Aotian then coldly looked at this woman whom he had once loved.

"Chen...Chen Aotian..."

Yuan Qianqian turned pale-faced, fumbling with her words.

Chen Aotian's face was icy, his gaze indifferent, his tone devoid of emotion: "Don't be afraid, you're not worth me taking action."

After speaking, he left Zhong's corporation with Zhou Xuyingxia.

"Wah wah wah—"

Yuan Qianqian's long hair disheveled, she was unable to restrain oneself from crying out loud.

On the other side, Zhong Minghui, slumped on the ground, with his last bit of strength yelled fiercely with his bloody face: "Chen Aotian, I will remember this grudge, you just wait, this isn't over between us!"
