How does the saying go? Like parents, like daughter. What kind of person Wu Lili is, her father can't be far behind. After listening to his daughter's complaints, Wu Mingde stormed up to Xia Liu with a face full of rage, "Are you the one who bullied my daughter?" As Wu Mingde spoke, he signaled to the security guards, ready to have them strike the moment Xia Liu dared to speak. Explore more stories with empire The security guards all recognized Wu Mingde—he was a high-level executive at the corporate headquarters. "Bully her? Looking at that piece of trash one more time is exhausting enough," Xia Liu didn't bother to offer Wu Mingde any respect; if this guy didn't get a clue, Xia Liu wouldn't mind getting some exercise. "Fuck! Beat him to death for me, I'll take responsibility if he dies!" Wu Mingde instantly exploded with anger. In Binlai City, no one had ever dared to disrespect him, and now some ignorant kid was speaking to him like this? How could he let him live another day? Bang! However, to the astonishment of everyone around, as soon as Wu Mingde finished speaking, Xia Liu landed a kick straight into his stomach. The body that weighed at least 200 pounds flew out like a basketball, even knocking down Wu Lili's cousin in the process. This sudden turn of events left everyone shocked, especially Gu Fangxia and Zhang Qing, who were closest to the action. They gazed at Xia Liu with admiring infatuation as if they would throw themselves at him if no one else were around—his kick was just too cool. "Hold on a minute, I need to make a call," seeing the security guards about to move now that they had recovered, Xia Liu sincerely mentioned, not wanting to accidentally injure anyone. "Ah! You lot, beat him to death for me, whoever does it gets a hundred thousand yuan!" Wu Mingde shouted desperately from the ground, driven by sheer fury. But his commands still caused the security guards to hesitate, not daring to take action—they did want the money. But to kill someone in broad daylight with so many witnesses, even if you could get a hundred thousand yuan, where could you possibly escape to? "Let's pause the shouting over there for a second, I'm not calling the police, so what's the panic?" Xia Liu glanced at Wu Mingde and remarked. "Pfft..." In that moment, countless people burst into laughter; this man was simply too funny. But they did not overlook the fact that facing such a situation, he remained so calm. This young man definitely wasn't simple. Soon enough, Xia Liu's call connected, and an excited voice came through from the other end, "Hello, Mr. Xia, how are you?" "Just call me Xia Liu, Boss Mo. I've run into a bit of a troublesome situation here." Xia Liu wasn't at all surprised that Mo Wanqing knew his phone number—after all, she had given him a private number. In Binlai City, the number of people who had Mo Wanqing's private number could be counted on one hand. "Hmm? Mr. Xia, where are you? I'll send someone over right away." "There's no need for you to come in person, Boss Mo. I just encountered a parasite from your company..." Xia Liu then briefly explained Wu Mingde's situation. "Wu Mingde? The general manager just told me about him, stay there, I'll be there in a minute," Mo Wanqing said before hanging up the phone. She just happened to be at the mall inspecting work today and never expected to encounter such an incident. Thanks to the Beauty Mud, Mo Wanqing had regained the confidence of her youth, and she would never forget Xia Liu, her benefactor. "Director, where are we going?" Seeing Mo Wanqing quicken her pace, the general manager was somewhat confused. "My good friend is being troubled by Wu Mingde right now, and it's happening on the third floor of the mall!" Mo Wanqing didn't explain much and immediately stepped onto the escalator to go upstairs. Upon hearing the name Wu Mingde, the general manager's gaze instantly turned dull. Wu Mingde had invited him out for drinks a few times and played mahjong with him; they could be considered friends. He hadn't imagined that the guy would dare to trouble the director's friend, which was practically seeking death. "Haha, kid, you're trying to scare me with Boss Mo! Do you really think you're someone?" By this time, Wu Mingde had already stood up from the ground. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xia Liu's phone call with Mo Wanqing. "Xia Liu, who were you just calling?" Gu Fangxia, who was closest to Xia Liu, heard the voice on the other end of the phone. She didn't know who it was but was certain that it wasn't someone just trying to scare Wu Mingde, but rather someone with real clout. "The owner of Wanqing Real Estate. I was just trying to get her to fire that idiot, but Boss Mo said she would arrive within a minute," Xia Liu said helplessly. He hadn't wanted it to be this way, but Mo Wanqing had hung up the phone in the end. "What! The owner of Wanqing Real Estate!" Upon hearing this news, Gu Fangxia was nearly scared silly. Anyone in the construction business knew who Mo Wanqing was. Gu Fangxia had previously submitted many proposals to Wanqing Real Estate, hoping to secure some projects. Unfortunately, they were all rejected. Now, Xia Liu said he knew Mo Wanqing, and she was coming over personally, which was simply unimaginable. The onlookers nearby also overheard their conversation about Xia Liu knowing Mo Wanqing. They were all astonished; Mo Wanqing was a celebrity in Binlai City, and meeting her was nearly as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Some admired Xia Liu, while others watched with cold eyes, their impression of Xia Liu sinking to the lowest point. After all, bragging in front of many people was indicative of stupidity. "Haha, you all heard that, right? Not teaching a lesson to such an idiot would really leave him not knowing the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth," some disdainful voices around Xia Liu made Wu Mingde feel even more elated. After speaking, he waved his hand for the security guards to take action. The security guards had also changed their minds. For someone with delusions like Xia Liu, they didn't need to be cautious. Wu Mingde had their backs if they hit him. "Xia Liu, are you reliable or what?" Zhang Qing was close to tears. What was Xia Liu playing at? "Ah, in this day and age, telling the truth is not believed. It seems I need to bluff more in the future," sighed Xia Liu. He really didn't want to resort to violence, after all, the security guards were innocent. "Stop!" Just as the security guards were about to approach Xia Liu, a deep voice carrying anger echoed through the mall. Everyone turned to look, and in that moment, they were frozen. They saw two women and three men rushing forward, the leader of whom they all recognized very well—it was Mo Wanqing. Compared to a month earlier, the present Mo Wanqing was as different as heaven and earth. With that scar gone from her face, she was truly the goddess in the hearts of all men—rich and beautiful. Wu Mingde was panicked because he saw Mo Wanqing running towards Xia Liu. She was running! "Mr. Xia, are you all right?" Mo Wanqing's voice once again shocked everyone. She actually addressed Xia Liu as Mr.! In Binlai City, those whom Mo Wanqing called 'Mr.' were definitely no more than ten people, which shows just how prestigious that title was.
