I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Xiao Yuening was dressed in a crisp general's uniform, the stars on his epaulets gleaming coldly under the spotlight.

That battle-hardened, powerful aura shattered the romantic atmosphere that Zhou Ziming had carefully created.

At this moment, the only sounds in the hall were the crisp echo of military boots striking the floor and the suppressed, awe-inspiring breaths of the people.

Her eyes held an undisguised scrutiny.

She had initially thought that Chu Yang was just trying to annoy her by praising Su Wanning's figure in front of her, but now that she saw it for herself, she felt a strange, indescribable emotion.

Having just experienced a falling out with Chu Yang, Su Wanning was suddenly caught up in Zhou Ziming's overtures and the shock of her idol's arrival, leaving her already chaotic state of mind.

She could clearly sense that the gaze contained not only the authority of a superior, but also a... inexplicable, cold, and even somewhat hostile sense of oppression.

Xiao Yuening finally walked up to Su Wanning, the distance between them was no more than a meter.

Two women of similar height, one like a drawn sword, sharp and imposing.

Like a plum blossom just beginning to bloom in the cold winter, she forced herself to remain calm, striving to maintain elegance and dignity in the eye of an invisible storm.

"President Su?"

Xiao Yuening's voice was cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Hello, War God Xiao. I am Su Wanning, and I welcome you on behalf of the Su Group."

Xiao Yuening's gaze did not soften in the slightest because of Su Wanning's greeting.

She saw the red rose in Su Wanning's hand, and she also saw Zhou Ziming beside her.

"I heard that President Su just got married. This must be her husband. How romantic!"

These words were like a bomb, leaving the people in the lobby completely stunned.

"What? President Su got married?"

"Were we incredibly stupid just now?"

Just then, someone in the crowd said something.

"You don't know, Ms. Su was forced to marry a convict. That guy even beat up a security guard today."

"Oh my god! I just saw that person. They were wearing slippers and looked really rude."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Su Wanning felt a mix of emotions shattered, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

Just then, Su Kang and Su Jian's family arrived in a hurry.

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Welcome, War God Xiao and Miss Murong."

Su Kang quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Sir Xiao, you flatter me. My daughter's marriage to that convict was entirely because my father wanted to repay a debt of gratitude. They are only husband and wife in name only."

Su Jian's eyes darted around, and he quickly spoke up as well.

"Yes, Wan Ning's real boyfriend has returned to the country now, and I believe that convict will feel ashamed. This absurd marriage should also end. When Wan Ning and Zi Ming get married, we would like to invite Xiao Zhanshen and Miss Murong to join us for a drink at their wedding."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Zhou Ziming's face.

"War God Xiao, please don't judge other people's private affairs so casually. I returned to the country this time because I know about Wan Ning's situation. As a man, I will protect Wan Ning and prevent anyone from hurting her."

Only then did the people around realize that they had discovered the truth.

"It's really tough for President Su, having to marry a convict."

"How could a shameless guy like him possibly covet a woman as high and mighty as President Su? With her real boyfriend back, that guy should be kicked out like a stray dog."

"I support President Su's decision to disregard everything in pursuit of true love!"

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with indignation, all expressing their sympathy for Su Wanning.

Murong Lan smiled calmly, "Ningning, what they said is right. Let's not meddle in their private affairs."

Xiao Yuening chuckled, "I was just asking casually, I have no business here. I'm just here to conduct an inspection."

Su Wanning's mind was in turmoil.

Why did Zhou Ziming suddenly use his own company's lobby as a love confession site?

How did Uncle know about Zhou Ziming's return to China?

Why did Xiao Zhanshen on the other side subtly show hostility?

Although she couldn't understand many things right now, her strong professional skills allowed her to suppress everything instantly.

The panic in her eyes finally faded completely, replaced by the resilience and composure of a powerful businesswoman.

"Xiao Zhanshen, Miss Murong."

"This way, please. The meeting room is ready." She stepped aside and made a standard guiding gesture.

At this moment, Su Jian spoke up, "Ziming, you studied business administration, and I heard you're doing very well at a large company abroad. Why don't you come up with us and give the Su family some advice?"

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate? I was already quite abrupt just now, and Wan Ning might still be angry with me. I'd better leave."

Zhou Ziming sounded very disappointed.

Su Wanning hesitated for a moment, but still felt that it was inappropriate to let Zhou Ziming participate in this meeting.

But Su Kang spoke first: "Ziming, you're not an outsider either. Let's go up together."

Zhou Ziming looked at Su Wanning, "Is this... appropriate?"

Refusing now would be tantamount to slapping Zhou Ziming in the face in public. Su Wanning took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Let's go together, and you can give me some advice while you're at it."

Xiao Yuening scoffed at Su Wanning's decision and said with a forced smile, "President Su is indeed extraordinary in her actions, and she doesn't shy away from using people she doesn't care about."

Su Wanning's heart trembled at the rebuke, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I always keep public and private matters separate. Please come with me."

on the road.

A cool Bugatti sports car forced a taxi to stop on the side of the road.

Chu Yang reluctantly paid the fare and got into the passenger seat of the Bugatti.

"What's the rush? I'm very busy today."

Liu Fangfei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "What are you so busy with? You're practically green with envy, you know that?"

Chu Yang lowered the sun visor with a puzzled look and glanced at himself in the mirror.

"No."

Liu Fangfei unlocked her phone and slapped it directly into Chu Yang's hand.

"Take a look for yourself! It's almost a real-time news report."

Chu Yang picked up his phone and saw that a video of him wearing flip-flops and beating up the security guard who had verbally provoked and threatened him that morning was trending on social media.

Even though his face was blurred, how could he not recognize himself?

There's a lot of criticism online right now.

"Damn it! That security guard kept swearing at me and even tried to hit me with a rubber baton. I just pushed him. Let them swear all they want, it's not like it's going to hurt me. How is that considered being cuckolded?"

Liu Fangfei clicked on another news article with the title "[Reformed Convict Seeks Gratitude, Su Corporation President's Real Boyfriend Returns]".

"Take a look for yourself."

When Chu Yang saw the pictures and videos inside, he immediately exclaimed "Damn!"

"Isn't that what just happened? Something's not right."

Liu Fangfei said irritably, "So you know something's wrong? Zhou Ziming is Wan Ning's high school classmate, and the two used to be very close. If it weren't for the incident that happened to the Zhou family back then, forcing Zhou Ziming to go abroad, they might be a couple now. I can't guarantee Wan Ning won't be tempted this time."

Chu Yang shook his head. "It's her freedom to choose whomever she wants. Our marriage is different from others. I just think it's too coincidental. I just heard this name in the office today, and now this guy has shown up."

"Moreover, the news spread so quickly, I think it was deliberately orchestrated by someone."

He read a lot of related news, including public opinion trends, and made a summary.

"Hiss... Feifei, at the same time, news also broke about some of the Su Group's debts and operational problems. If we combine this with the news about the Su Group's president's chaotic private life and romantic entanglements, do you think it might..."

Liu Fangfei's eyes suddenly widened. "I called Wan Ning earlier, but she wouldn't answer. I've been holding my breath, but I never thought about it this way. If that's really the case, I'm afraid Su Group's stock will drop today."

"My God! This is a conspiracy!"
