C255 Wang Tiancheng Slapped His Own Mouth Begging for Forgiveness

"How's Wang Da-shao doing? Is Lin Dong pulling a fast one?! He was always lying back in school! My best friend got conned by him, and that's why she stuck with him for years. You need to get someone over here to give him a piece of their mind!"

Upon seeing Wang Tiancheng end his call, Zhou Huazhi hurried over to him, pressing for action. To her, Lin Dong was nothing more than an impoverished student. The idea of him acquiring a real estate company was preposterous – a blatant fabrication!

Wang Tiancheng gazed at Zhou Huazhi, her makeup marred by tears, creating a pockmarked visage that sparked a surge of annoyance within him. He raised his hand and delivered a sharp slap across her face. This blow landed on the exact opposite side of where Lin Dong had struck her before. Wang Tiancheng's strike was ruthless, sending Zhou Huazhi tumbling to the ground from the force.

The severe pain elicited a wretched scream from Zhou Huazhi as she clutched at both sides of her face. Wang Tiancheng's assault left her other cheek swollen, comically matching the first, giving her the appearance of sporting an oversized pig's head.

In the aftermath of her scream, Zhou Huazhi stared at Wang Tiancheng in disbelief, puzzled as to why he would strike her. As she was about to question him, Wang Tiancheng advanced and unleashed a flurry of kicks and punches upon her. Zhou Huazhi's screams echoed as she writhed on the ground, eventually cowering beside a trash bin, huddled and trembling, before Wang Tiancheng finally ceased his attack.

Zhou Huazhi was now a mess of footprints and grime. She looked at Wang Tiancheng with eyes wide with terror, unable to comprehend why he had turned violent towards her – he who had once sweetly called her "Little Sweetheart" or "Zhizhi."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Tiancheng composed himself and strode over to Lin Dong. As he approached, his expression transformed into a broad, respectful smile. "I'm so sorry, Dong. This whole mess was her doing! She was the one causing all the trouble, and I got the wrong idea about you. Please, Dong, show some leniency. Don't hold this against me!"

Lin Dong remained silent.

Wang Tiancheng gritted his teeth and repeatedly slapped his own face with force.

The slaps were real, leaving his face red and swollen.

His subordinates, trailing behind him, were shocked. They had never witnessed Wang Tiancheng treating himself with such severity. It was brutal!

Yet, Wang Tiancheng showed no sign of stopping; he kept on slapping himself.

"Enough," Lin Dong finally spoke.

Only then did Wang Tiancheng cease.

Wang Tiancheng was no stranger to high society and had witnessed its many facades.

Wealthy individuals experienced dramatic rises and falls. One moment, they were affluent and mingling with celebrities; the next, they were penniless and relegated to society's lower echelons.

Lin Dong had now become the major shareholder of Universal Real Estate Company, holding the company's fate in his hands. Meanwhile, Wang Tiancheng's father had gone from a lofty company executive to a mere ordinary shareholder, only receiving a small annual dividend.

Stripped of his former arrogance, Wang Tiancheng had no choice but to bow down to avoid Lin Dong's wrath, as the entire Wang family's survival now hinged on Lin Dong's disposition.

At this juncture, dignity and reputation were of little consequence.

By slapping himself, Wang Tiancheng was demonstrating his sincerity, seeking Lin Dong's forgiveness.

When Lin Dong signaled him to stop, Wang Tiancheng, unconcerned about the marks on his face, smiled and said, "Dong, if you're still upset, I can keep going! All that matters is that you don't hold a grudge against me."
