Chapter 296: Lin Zihao's Threat

bing sniffed dismissively. "Wake up!"The group felt depressed. Big Sister, you clearly know that he's out of his mind; why are you explaining things to him Can't you just lie to him and get him to put...Magic King in the Metropolis* Chapter 296: Lin Zihao's Threat

Hearing Cold Bingbing’s cold words, Xia Tian immediately felt depressed. "Sis Police Officer Wife, why did you release Lin Zihao"

“Ye Mengyun changed her statement and said that she was Lin Zihao’s girlfriend and they were just playing a game that day. Therefore, it wasn't an attempted rape anymore. What else could I do but let him go” Cold Bingbing said with displeasure.

"Then Sis Police Officer Wife, do you know where the idiot Lin Zihao is now" Xia Tian asked.

“How would I know that” Cold Bingbing was a bit unhappy and said, "I’m busy right now. Let’s not chat anymore!"

Cold Bingbing hung up as soon as she said they shouldn’t talk more.

"A few days ago when I watched TV, the wives and husbands who talked on the phone would always say something like goodbye kiss. Why does Sis Police Officer hang up so irresponsibly every time" Xia Tian muttered to himself in dissatisfaction.

Mu Han couldn’t help but laugh at how ridiculous this was—what did “goodbye kiss” have to do with "goodbye death"!

“Husband, maybe we should go after Lin Zihao another time.” Mu Han noticed that Xia Tian looked a bit depressed and suggested softly beside him.

"No way! I must definitely get rid of this bastard today!" Xia Tian was very unhappy. It wasn't easy for him to turn Lin Zihao into a rapist, but after just sleeping for a while, the bastard actually managed to escape from the police station—this was simply an outright challenge to him.

"Then, dear husband, should I call Lin Zihao and invite him out" Mu Han thought for a moment and said, "If I call him, he will definitely show up."

"Snap!" Right after Mu Han finished speaking, Xia Tian pulled her over and made her kneel on his lap, then smacked her buttocks hard.

"Dear husband, why are you hitting me there again" Mu Han was blushing uncontrollably and felt a bit aggrieved. She had been so considerate to offer to help him with his worries, why did she still have to be punished

"You're my wife; you actually want to seduce another man. Of course I should smack your bottom," Xia Tian said resolutely.

Mu Han felt even more aggrieved: "Dear husband, I didn't mean to seduce other men!"

"Calling Lin Zihao is an act of luring him over; that's not called seduction" Xia Tian was clearly displeased and raised his palm again, landing another hard smack.

"Ah..." The pain and strange sensations in her buttocks made Mu Han unconsciously let out a soft moan as her pretty face turned blood-red instantly, her voice turning incredibly seductive: "Dear husband, stop it! I know I was wrong. It's just that I wanted to help you!"

"Knowing your mistake is good then; after I finish dealing with Lin Zihao the bastard, I'll come home and punish you," Xia Tian finally let go of Mu Han and dialed Qiao Donghai’s number.

"Xia Tian, are you awake" As soon as Qiao Donghai picked up the phone, he asked this question first.

"Do you know where that bastard Lin Zihao is now" Xia Tian asked without any preamble.

"Are you looking for Lin Zihao" Qiao Donghai seemed a bit surprised. "That bastard was released from the police station two days ago and went back home. I don't know where he is now, but I can find out right away."

"Then hurry up and check it for me," Xia Tian said quickly before hanging up.

Haian Tower.

The office of the chairman of Tiannan Group.

In front of her desk sat Ye Mengying, a young and beautiful chairwoman, who was looking at the preliminary statistics on this week's sales performance handed in by the Sales Department. She couldn't help but smile.

After last week's press conference, Tiannan Group had immediately re-launched the 'Little Beauty' series of cosmetics onto the market. As expected, the products were sold out as soon as they hit the shelves. The company's production base worked around the clock to meet demand, but it was still insufficient.

Everyone wanted to try this magical cosmetic product for themselves; not only women, but many men too.

The popularity of the 'Little Beauty' series had also inadvertently boosted sales of other Tiannan Group products. In just a week's time, not only had they solved the crisis in their cosmetics business, but the reputation of Tiannan Group had risen to new heights. As such, Ye Mengying's capabilities as the newly appointed chairwoman were largely recognized by everyone within the company.

"Miss Ye." Zhu Qin, Ye Mengying's assistant walked in and said, "Ye Mengyun has arrived and wants to see you. The security guard asked if I should let her come in."

"What does she want" Ye Mengying frowned slightly.

"I don't know, but I heard that she brought someone with her." Zhu Qin replied.

"Who did she bring" Ye Mengying's intuition told her that Ye Mengyun was not here for a good reason.

"It seems to be that Lin Zihao," Zhu Qin had an odd expression. The reason was simple, even she knew about the attempted rape incident involving Lin Zihao and Ye Mengyun.

"Let them in!" After briefly contemplating it, Ye Mengying made up her mind. She wanted to see what Ye Mengyun and Lin Zihao were up to.

As they say, good news stays at home while bad news travels fast; the news of Lin Zihao attempting a public rape on Ye Mengyun in Night Beauty spread throughout Jianghai City the very next day. Nobody knew who had deliberately spread this story, but many people suspected Qiao Donghai, as everyone was aware that he and Lin Zihao were enemies, and Qiao Donghai had the capability to circulate such news quickly. Most importantly, ordinary people wouldn't dare to spread such sensational news, whereas Qiao Donghai would.

When Ye Mengying found out about this incident, she merely thought it was a bit unbelievable and didn’t pay much attention. But yesterday someone told her that Lin Zihao had been released from custody, and now Ye Mengyun was his girlfriend. At that point, she realized that there must be some kind of deal between Lin Zihao and Ye Mengyun. Now they appeared together at Tiannan Group, which couldn't be a good thing.

Soon after, Ye Mengyun entered Ye Mengying's office, her arm linked with Lin Zihao’s; she had clearly made an effort to dress up nicely. Unfortunately, no matter how she dressed, she would pale in comparison to Ye Mengying.

"If you have something to say, just spit it out. I'm very busy," Ye Mengying didn't even offer them a seat and appeared somewhat impatient.

"Ye Mengying, what kind of attitude is this" Ye Mengyun was clearly furious.

"My letting you in already shows good will on my part." Ye Mengying said coolly. "I'll give you one minute to speak your mind; otherwise, I’ll ask security to escort you out."

"Ye Mengying, don't be too arrogant!" Ye Mengyun was so angry that her face turned red.

Ye Mengying looked at her watch and said indifferently, "There are still forty-five seconds."

"You!" Ye Mengyun was furious but restrained herself from exploding. At this moment, Lin Zihao spoke up, "Mengyun, let me speak."

Lin Zihao took a small step forward and gave Ye Mengying a mild smile. "Miss Ye, our intention is actually very simple. Mengyun hopes to reclaim her cosmetics company because it was originally the result of her hard work. It's only reasonable for her to take it back now."

"What if I don't agree" Ye Mengying countered.

Lin Zihao smiled slightly, "Miss Ye, in such a large group like Tian Nan Group, Mengyun’s cosmetics company is just a small part. There's no need to make things difficult for us because of this, right As the saying goes, 'harmony brings wealth'; I believe Miss Ye can understand what that means."

"Mr. Lin, I’m not very smart by nature. Why don't you just get straight to the point If we don’t agree with your conditions, what would you do then" Ye Mengying asked calmly.

“Ye Mengying, if you don’t want people to come here every day to check taxes or inspect fire safety and hygiene issues, give my company back to me immediately!” said Ye Mengyun coldly.

"Is this your way" Ye Mengying looked at Lin Zihao with a hint of disdain, "Don't you think such methods are too shabby"

Lin Zihao smiled mildly: "Miss Ye, the method is not important; it's the result that matters. I believe Miss Ye should be clear that with just one phone call from me, your company might face frequent shutdowns for rectification. I doubt you would like to suffer such unnecessary losses"

"So, you guys are threatening me" Ye Mengying's pretty face turned colder.

"General Manager Ye, you misunderstood. We're just calmly discussing this matter with you," Lin Zihao shook his head. "Of course, if General Manager Ye doesn't believe what I said, I can prove it to you."

"No need for that. As the son of a provincial party secretary, having such lowly skills is naturally expected," Ye Mengying's tone was filled with derision. "However, I want to remind you both; our Tian Nan Group has always done business straightforwardly and honestly. Over the years, we have encountered similar threats before."

"General Manager Ye, I've heard of the methods your late father used in his day, but now it's a society governed by law. Everything I'm doing is within legal boundaries. If General Manager Ye resorts to illegal means, you might only end up causing yourself trouble," Lin Zihao said calmly.

"Then there’s no need for Mr. Lin to worry about that," Ye Mengying waved her hand dismissively. "If the two of you have finished talking nonsense, now would be a good time for you to leave."

"Ye Mengying, what do you mean" Ye Mengyun was very angry. "Are you trying to send us away like this Do you insist on making things go all out until there's no way back"

"General Manager Ye, don't you want to talk with us calmly" Lin Zihao frowned slightly.

"Mr. Lin, if our company really has to cease operations, I can take a few days off," Ye Mengying smiled coldly. "These past few days, I haven’t had the chance to properly accompany my husband. If you give me that opportunity, I’ll be grateful."

"General Manager Ye, are you threatening me" Lin Zihao’s expression changed slightly. The day Ye Mengying declared publicly in front of numerous reporters that Xia Tian was her fiancé, nobody could miss this information; the husband she mentioned was none other than Xia Tian.

"Mr. Lin, have I ever threatened you" Ye Mengying looked surprised.t the Sky Team base. Mu Han knows where it is." Meiyu replied."Oh, okay then. I'll go there later," Summer said after glancing at Mu Han, who had just woken up."Alright, I'll wait for you here," Meiyu...
