Chapter 504: 504
Within this Forbidden Land of the Blood Demon Cavern, Ye Luo and the wild bear continued to absorb the energy from the Blood Demon Pool, their auras growing stronger and stronger.
Ye Luo’s fourth vein among his nine unique veins was even opened, while the wild bear seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation, as if it were stepping toward the Saint Realm. Its entire bloodstream seemed stimulated, boiling violently, and its body occasionally showed strange, fine patterns that were very eerie to witness.
The next day.
Zhonghai, Ling Corporation.
Ling Qingya, dressed in an OL suit, walked into Ling Corporation, her expression cold as if showing no change, while the company employees looked at her with eyes flashing with unusual light.
"President Ling."
Hou Dayong’s gaze met Ling Qingya and he called out with a slight change in his expression.
Back in her office, Ling Qingya sat in her chair, rubbing her temples, when Zhou Siqi walked in.
"President Ling, you’re finally back. Are you alright?" Zhou Siqi asked with a concerned look at Ling Qingya.
"I’m fine," Ling Qingya dropped her hands, shaking her head.
"How is the company doing now?"
"Yesterday, the old chairman came to the company and stabilized the morale of the staff while also liquidating some personal assets to raise funds to resist Fang Corporation’s attack on the stock market."
"However, Fang Corporation has now injected another ten billion in capital, causing our share price to plummet repeatedly. The situation is very critical. Our funds are frozen, the banks have refused our loan requests, and we have no extra money to counter Fang Corporation’s attack," Zhou Siqi said gravely.
Ling Qingya furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes moving restlessly. Just then, the office door opened, and Chen Yaowen and Fang Yan walked in.
"Vice President Chen, Fang Yan!"
Ling Qingya fixed her gaze on the two men, her eyes narrowing, a fleeting shade of interest passing by.
"Miss Ling, long time no see," Fang Yan said, smiling at Ling Qingya.
"Why are you here? Vice President Chen, you brought him to my office. Is there something going on, and both of you just walked in without even knocking, what are you implying?" Ling Qingya spoke with a commanding presence, her eyes fixed on the two men.
"I’m sorry, President Ling, I forgot just now, but it doesn’t matter anymore, because soon Ling Corporation will probably no longer belong to you," said Vice President Chen with a smile.
"Siqi, please leave us," Ling Qingya said to Zhou Siqi, who glanced at the two men before turning to leave the room.
"What do you mean by that, Vice President Chen?" Ling Qingya kept her eyes on Chen Yaowen.
"Don’t you know, President Ling? I think it won’t be long before Ling Corporation will belong to our Young Master Fang," Chen Yaowen said with a smile.
Ling Qingya stared at Chen Yaowen for a moment and said, "It seems my previous guess was indeed correct."
"What was correct?" Chen Yaowen asked in surprise.
"It was you who framed Ling Corporation for tax evasion and fabricating false accounts, weren’t it? All those so-called evidences were forged by you in secret," Ling Qingya stated directly.
Chen Yaowen was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said, "It seems you really are clever, President Ling, to have guessed that."
"In all of Ling Corporation, the only person with both the ability and motive to do this is you. It seems I was blind to appoint you as the vice president," Ling Qingya said coldly.
"You weren’t blind. You just never took me seriously. You’d rather fancy that worthless guy than accept my love for you. I had no other choice," Chen Yaowen snorted coldly.
Ling Qingya’s gaze shifted to Fang Yan, "Do you also seek revenge against me and Ling Corporation because I didn’t choose you?"
Fang Yan moved aside, sat down, and with a smile said, "Miss Ling, I indeed had feelings for you before, but ever since you rejected me, I’ve had no feelings for you at all."
"Then why do you still appear to go against Ling Corporation?" Ling Qingya asked with a slight frown.
"Because of Ye Luo!" Fang Yan’s eyes flashed a fierce intensity as he said coldly, "That guy not only crippled all my skills but also killed my father. Do you think I shouldn’t seek revenge? And since you are his fiancée, naturally, I’d start with you, stripping him of everything before slowly dealing with him."
Hearing Fang Yan’s words, Ling Qingya narrowed her eyes, a strange light flickering in them, "You’re also behind the Meiyue Company incident."
"Of course. Luo Jingxuan, the president of Mei Yue, is his aunt, so she only has herself to blame for her company’s misfortune," Fang Yan scoffed.
"What exactly do you plan to do?"
"President, if you just agree to be my woman and hand over control of Ling Corporation to me, I can still let it survive. Otherwise, Ling Corporation will go bankrupt and vanish from Zhonghai city," Chen Yaowen said with a sinister smile, blatantly ogling her body.
"You despicable wretch, absolutely not," Ling Qingya uttered indifferently.
"Do you really want Ling Corporation to go bankrupt?" Chen Yaowen’s expression darkened as he demanded.
Without wasting words, Ling Qingya picked up the phone and called Zhou Siqi, "Have Hou Dayong bring people up."
"What do you think you’re doing?" Chen Yaowen asked coldly.
Ling Qingya stood up and looked Chen Yaowen in the eye, "I am now informing you in my capacity as the president of Ling Corporation that you are fired. As of now, you have no relationship with Ling Corporation. Leave at once."
"Ling Qingya, you..." Chen Yaowen glared at her.
"Miss Ling, if you don’t want Ling Corporation to go bankrupt, the only choice is to hand it over. Otherwise, prepare to watch the name Ling Corporation disappear completely from this world," Fang Yan said coldly as he stood up from the couch.
"President, what do you need us for?"
At that moment, Hou Dayong arrived with a group of security guards, looking at Ling Qingya.
"Kick these two out of the company and never let them set foot in Ling Corporation again," Ling Qingya ordered coldly, pointing at Chen Yaowen and Fang Yan.
"Vice President Chen, this..." Hou Dayong glanced at Chen Yaowen, looking somewhat conflicted.
"He’s fired. He has nothing to do with Ling Corporation now. Get him out immediately, or you can leave with him," she commanded with authority, exuding a powerful aura of a woman in charge, which made Hou Dayong tremble as he hesitated, unsure of what to do.
Just then, Zhou Siqi burst in, looking excited.
"Siqi, what’s happened?" Ling Qingya asked, seeing Zhou Siqi’s clearly overjoyed expression.
"President, I just received news that the president of Liu Group, Miss Liu Shiyun, has mobilized ten billion in funds to enter the stock market, helping us fend off Fang Corporation’s ambush. With the help of Liu Group, the stock market has now stabilized," Zhou Siqi said all in one breath.
