At this moment, in the Marketing Department of Shilin Guomao Group.
After finishing his call, Xia Tiejun kept looking smugly at Lin Chen. Especially when he saw Lin Chen about to make a call as well, the mocking smile on his lips grew even broader.
He said arrogantly, "What? Want to make a call?"
"Fine, I'll let you. Call everyone you can summon in Zhonghai."
"I'd like to see who in Zhonghai can stand up for you today."
Xia Tiejun's mockery made everyone present begin to worry for Lin Chen.
Just as Xia Tiejun had said, Zhonghai valued power. No matter how rich you were, before absolute power, you were nothing but a paper tiger.
"Lin Chen..."
Shang Zhiyi clenched her hands tightly, praying nonstop in her heart while feeling even more ashamed toward Lin Chen.
This whole matter had started because of her. If it had not been for her, Lin Chen would not have fallen out with Xia Tiejun.
Thinking about the unknown force he was about to face, she became increasingly uneasy.
No, this happened because of me. I can't drag Lin Chen into this.
Shang Zhiyi thought to herself. Then, in front of everyone, she said to Xia Tiejun:
"President Xia, as long as you let Lin Chen go today, I can satisfy any request you make."
"Will that do?"
Her voice was soft, yet filled with determination.
Everyone present found her words unbelievable.
They all knew about Xia Tiejun's lecherous nature and what he had in mind. Shang Zhiyi's actions were clearly like a lamb walking into a tiger's den.
Even Lin Chen, the person directly involved, was greatly surprised when he heard her words.
At the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of gratitude.
This silly girl...
However, Shang Zhiyi's hopes were beautiful, but reality was harsh.
When Xia Tiejun heard her words, his smile immediately became even more arrogant.
"You want me to let him go?"
"Tell me, can't you see the situation clearly now?"
"Once I deal with him, do you think you can escape my grasp?"
"I'm telling you, neither of you will get away today."
"After I finish dealing with him, I'll let you find out what it feels like to be ravaged by me in bed."
At the thought of soon having Shang Zhiyi's body, Xia Tiejun's face began to flush.
Not only Xia Tiejun, but the faces of the Marketing Department staff also reddened when they heard those words.
Of course, their faces were red not because they had any filthy thoughts, but because they felt angry and sorry for Shang Zhiyi.
Although she was stunningly beautiful, as her colleagues, they all knew that she had still preserved a woman's most precious first time.
If she were forcibly violated by someone she did not love, it would probably become a nightmare that haunted her for the rest of her life.
But what could they do? Other than anger and regret, they could do nothing.
After all, Xia Tiejun's status and background were right there. No one wanted to become a scapegoat and get taught a lesson for someone unrelated to them.
And Shang Zhiyi's reaction only confirmed everyone's fears.
When she heard those words, her whole body began trembling uncontrollably.
One could imagine how despairing she felt at that moment. Her eyes even began to well up with tears because of his words.
Slap—
Just as everyone was feeling angry and sorry for Shang Zhiyi, a sharp sound suddenly rang out through the Marketing Department.
Everyone instinctively turned to look.
When they saw what had happened, every one of them sucked in a cold breath.
"Bastard! You actually dared to slap me!"
Xia Tiejun's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Lin Chen.
If looks could kill, Lin Chen would have died hundreds of times over.
"Today, I'm not only going to slap you. I'm also going to let you know what it means to wish you were dead."
Lin Chen's eyes had long since turned icy. He had known Xia Tiejun was scum, but he had not expected him to be such utter scum.
After saying that, he kicked him again, then threw himself forward and began grappling with Xia Tiejun.
"Quick, separate them! Hurry!"
Things had already become a complete mess. Seeing this, Qi Zhenxing shouted loudly from the side.
Before the others could react, Qi Zhenxing was already the first to rush over to break them apart.
At the same time, he lamented inwardly about what sin he had committed today.
However, just as he was about to rush over, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
In an instant, countless people quickly poured out.
"Stop right the hell now!"
The person speaking was Tang Guogang, who had hurried over from the villa.
When he saw Lin Chen grappling with someone, his eyebrows began twitching wildly beyond his control.
He had already had someone drive them here at top speed, but he had not expected to still arrive one step too late.
"Zhang Bin, what the hell are you standing there for? Get over there and pull them apart!"
"If anything happens to Mr. Lin, I'll have your whole family buried with him!"
The moment Tang Guogang uttered his first word, Zhang Bin had already rushed forward.
Or more accurately, the instant the elevator doors opened, he had forced his way out from the back and charged over.
After all, Lin Chen's safety was closely tied to his own life, so he had no choice but to be exceedingly careful.
Still, Zhang Bin truly lived up to his reputation as a muscular brute. With just one shove and pull, he forcibly dragged Xia Tiejun away.
Of course, this time all of his strength was used on Xia Tiejun. He did not dare touch even a single hair on Lin Chen's head.
Thus, Xia Tiejun was sent stumbling backward like a kite with its string cut, until he fell to the ground.
"Brother Bin?"
Xia Tiejun, who had been dragged away, was about to fly into a rage. But when he saw the newcomer's face, he froze, then immediately became arrogant again.
"Kid Lin, my backer is here. Let's see how you can keep acting so arroga—"
Before he could finish, a thunderous slap rang out.
Slap—
The sound was crisp and loud, echoing throughout the entire Marketing Department.
Xia Tiejun looked utterly confused and could not make sense of the situation for a moment. Just as he was about to ask why—
Another slap landed on his face.
Slap—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, aside from slaps, there were also punches and kicks.
Zhang Bin had seemingly gone mad as he viciously beat Xia Tiejun, showing absolutely no restraint.
In his mind, only by beating him hard would Zhang Bin have a sliver of hope of survival. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This continued for a full five or six minutes without stopping for even a second.
Xia Tiejun went from screaming in pain at the beginning to making no sound at all, lying silently on the ground as Zhang Bin beat him.
Seeing Xia Tiejun go from resisting at first to making no sound now, Zhang Bin knew that if he kept going, Xia Tiejun would definitely be beaten to death.
But he did not dare stop. After all, better him than me.
