C6 Repairing the Face! It Was Xiao Nan Who Did It
Murong Hong knew that if he didn't act within three minutes, he would really have to pack up and leave.
"Look at you, Liu Xianhong, daring to anger Young Master Xiao Nan. Are you looking for trouble? Trying to make my life difficult? Just watch how I handle you! I had plans to count on you, but now it seems you'd better just get out of here before you drag me down too!"
It could be said that Redcliffe Investments, a sizable company, was in complete disarray at the moment!
Liu Xianhong, who was across the street, turned an ashen shade when he heard Wang Ziyan's words.
"You, ma'am, may be attractive, but your manners are lacking. What's the meaning of your words? You expect us to just leave because you say so? This situation needs to be explained!"
Wang Ziyan was momentarily taken aback as Liu Xianhong spoke. She bit her lip, wanting to say more but at a loss for words that could defuse the tense situation.
At that moment, Wang Ziyan's gaze shifted to Xiao Nan.
How wonderful it would be if Xiao Nan were not prone to empty boasts, if his every word could come true.
As Wang Ziyan pondered this, she suddenly noticed a disturbance on the road.
Across from her, a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit with gleaming shoes was urgently leading a group of men and women as they hurried over.
Yes, they were rushing over, and they had emerged right from the headquarters of Redcliffe Investments.
Wang Ziyan was dumbfounded. It was as if whatever she thought of came to pass. The people from Redcliffe Investments had emerged—could they be here to back Liu Xianhong?
Wang Ziyan was quite aware of the clout Redcliffe Investments held.
To put it into perspective, her recent client, Chen Jiannan, was the chairman of a company that had received investment from Redcliffe Investments. One could only imagine the firm's renown.
Feeling a wave of panic, Wang Ziyan braced herself.
"See that? My company's big boss has arrived. That's Murong Hong, the chairman and president of our company. Don't you two go anywhere. This isn't over. Insulting me is one thing, but insulting Redcliffe Investments is a serious matter."
Liu Xianhong spoke with a boastful arrogance.
Upon witnessing Murong Hong and his entourage descend, his confidence seemed unshakeable.
Xiao Nan, however, harbored nothing but contempt.
Where do you get this unfounded confidence? It's almost comical how oblivious you are to your impending doom!
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Xiao Nan made his way over to Wang Ziyan.
He noticed her distress and gave her a reassuring nod before addressing Liu Xianhong, "Do you really think Murong Hong is here to back you up? You're sorely mistaken!"
Xiao Nan's declaration resonated with conviction.
It left Liu Xianhong and Lin Yali's companion momentarily dumbstruck, and even the flustered Wang Ziyan looked perplexed.
But in no time at all, Wang Ziyan desperately tried to silence Xiao Nan.
"Now's not the time to stir the pot, Xiao Nan," she implored.
Liu Xianhong, however, couldn't help but laugh heartily at Xiao Nan's boldness.
After exchanging a knowing look with Lin Yali, he seized her hand and boasted, "Just a high school sweetheart's boyfriend, are you? Your ignorance is bliss. Clearly, you've yet to be seasoned by the real world. I, Liu Xianhong..."
"Spot on! Well said, young man. And what of it if you're Liu Xianhong? What significance do you hold? I hereby announce that you've been terminated from Redcliffe Investments! Furthermore, I suspect your involvement in a financial crime. Take him into custody..."
Murong Hong interjected.
His opening remark, however, caught everyone off guard!
Only Xiao Nan nodded in agreement.
Murong Hong had indeed arrived swiftly, true to his word of arriving within three minutes.
Xiao Nan then turned to Wang Ziyan and reassured her, "See, I told you everything would be taken care of."
Doubt flickered in Wang Ziyan's eyes. Could this situation really be connected to Xiao Nan?
Did Xiao Nan prompt the CEO of Redcliffe Investments to rush over?
But then she pondered, Xiao Nan hadn't done anything except speak a few words. How could he possibly compel the chairman of such a large investment firm to personally deal with Liu Xianhong?
The glimmer of hope that had sparked in Wang Ziyan's eyes once again faded to resignation.
Xiao Nan couldn't possibly be responsible. He's nothing but a worthless loser, absolutely not capable of this!
Wang Ziyan couldn't help but reject the thought in her heart!
To Wang Ziyan, her initial suspicions were correct; it was all just a fluke. Xiao Nan couldn't have anything to do with it.
Why would Murong Hong, a manager of such a large company, come here for Xiao Nan, a son-in-law with no skills who only knows how to live off others?
Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this situation should be…
Ultimately, even though Wang Ziyan felt a bit overwhelmed, she was certain of one thing: regardless of Xiao Nan's involvement, Murong Hong, the influential boss of Redcliffe Investments, was genuinely stepping in for her. He had already taken Liu Xianhong into custody.
At that moment, Liu Xianhong was desperately pleading for mercy.
"Chairman, I was wrong, truly wrong. Please spare me. Don't fire me, don't have me arrested, Chairman, Chairman..."
Liu Xianhong's voice was filled with despair, as if he were crying out for his parents, his eyes wide with terror.
His panic was so intense that it brought him to tears, and his entire body went limp.
However, Liu Xianhong's cries were drawing too much attention, causing Murong Hong to frown.
At that moment, with a wave of his hand, Murong Hong's followers quickly understood his intent.
After a couple of resounding "crack" sounds, someone dealt a harsh blow to Liu Xianhong's head, knocking him unconscious.
At the same time, Lin Yali, who had previously been so haughty, was utterly shocked!
Lin Yali had never imagined that Liu Xianhong, the manager at Redcliffe Investments, would completely lose his position.
What worried her most was that, given the circumstances, not only was Liu Xianhong likely to end up in prison, but he might also drag her down with him. She could be in serious trouble too.
This realization sent a chill through Lin Yali, her face etched with anxiety and fear, a stark contrast to her earlier arrogance.
