Return of the Celestial King

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Rendered Useless

But Liu Qiang wasn’t about to let a prize that was already in his grasp simply fly away.

As he watched Han Zilin’s back, Liu Qiang’s eyes gradually grew grim.

"Hmph! Han Zilin, you’re not leaving today!"

With a sinister laugh, Liu Qiang pounced like a hungry wolf.

"Liu Qiang, what are you doing?"

Han Zilin was thrown onto the nearby sofa, utterly panicked.

Liu Qiang pinned Han Zilin down, a lewd smile on his face.

"Han Zilin, just be a good girl and give in. If you do, I might even take pity on you and toss some money your way. Isn’t your family poor and desperate for cash? Why are you refusing?"

He was trying to break down her defenses with his words.

However, Han Zilin’s struggles only grew more violent!

"Liu Qiang, you animal! Let me go!"

Han Zilin burst into tears, frantically flailing and pounding at him with her hands.

But how could a lone girl possibly overpower a grown man?

Worse, Liu Qiang was so overcome with lust that he was acting with tremendous strength.

"Haha, Han Zilin! No one can stop me from having you today!"

Liu Qiang’s eyes were filled with madness.

Just then, Han Zilin’s hand brushed against a nearby ashtray.

Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the ashtray and smashed it against Liu Qiang’s head with all her might!

THUD...

A dull thud echoed as Liu Qiang let out a muffled grunt.

Seizing the chance, Han Zilin shoved Liu Qiang aside and scrambled desperately for the office door.

"You damned, ungrateful bitch! Watch how I’m going to fix you!"

Clutching his bleeding head, Liu Qiang, seething with rage, immediately gave chase.

Panic-stricken, Han Zilin fled desperately toward the main entrance.

Just then, a security guard noticed the commotion and hurried over to see what was happening.

When Han Zilin saw the guard, she cried out:

"Sir, please help me!"

The security guard frowned, unsure of what was going on.

At that moment, Liu Qiang came chasing out.

His heart leaped in alarm when he saw the guard, but he quickly recovered and sneered.

"Perfect timing! Hurry up and grab this girl!"

The security guard said respectfully:

"Manager Liu, what’s going on?"

Liu Qiang snorted coldly:

"She’s not with our company, she was sent over by Mani Company. She just tried to murder me, but she didn’t succeed. I will make sure she’s held responsible for this."

As he spoke, he showed the guard the wound on his head.

The guard immediately understood. So Han Zilin really had tried to assault him!

"You little brat, daring to commit an assault here, you’ve got some nerve!"

The guard motioned for his colleagues to come over and arrest Han Zilin.

Han Zilin frantically tried to defend herself.

"That’s not it, sir! He’s lying, you have to believe me!"

But her pleas sounded weak and unconvincing.

Seeing more guards approaching in the distance, Han Zilin felt herself on the verge of collapse.

’Heh heh, you little bitch. You’re still going to fall into my hands now, aren’t you?’

Seeing this, Liu Qiang’s face broke into a sinister, triumphant smile.

However, at that very moment, Qin Tuo and Zeng Fuchai walked over, chatting with each other.

Qin Tuo immediately spotted Han Zilin in the crowd, her face a mask of despair, and hurried over.

"Zilin, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, Brother Tu, you’re here!"

Upon seeing Qin Tuo, it was as if Han Zilin had seen her savior. Tears streamed down her face.

’Damn it, why is he here?’

Liu Qiang’s face instantly turned pale, and he looked for a chance to flee.

Han Zilin threw herself into Qin Tuo’s arms, sobbing as she haltingly recounted what had happened.

Only then did Qin Tuo understand why Han Zilin was here.

Han Zilin sobbed:

"Brother Tu, it’s all my fault for being useless. Not only did I fail to help you, but I also caused you so much trouble."

Qin Tuo slowly shook his head, his voice full of heartache:

"Silly girl, why would you do that? My contract is already signed. I signed it directly with Chairman Zeng."

"Ah, you already signed it?"

Han Zilin’s head snapped up, and she glanced over at Liu Qiang.

Only then did she realize just how disgusting Liu Qiang was, to have tricked her into thinking she had to sleep with him!

And when that didn’t work, he even dared to use force!

Qin Tuo’s eyes instantly turned cold.

He could see what had happened. This guy Liu Qiang had tried to take advantage of Han Zilin, and when he couldn’t, he resorted to brute force.

"Manager Liu, you’re quite something!"

Qin Tuo said frostily, a chilling smile playing on his lips.

"Mr. Qin, please let me explain! This is all a misunderstanding!"

Liu Qiang panicked, forcing a smile as he backed away.

Zeng Fuchai was also furious. He had just managed to stabilize his relationship with Qin Tuo, and now Liu Qiang had caused this mess.

The security guards now realized they had nearly provoked someone they couldn’t afford to offend, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Tuo suddenly strode forward and swiftly kicked Liu Qiang directly in the abdomen.

"Aargh..."

Liu Qiang let out a blood-curdling scream and fell to the ground.

But he didn’t dare utter a single curse word. He could only grit his teeth against the pain, his face ashen!

After that one kick, Qin Tuo didn’t strike again.

That kick might have looked like he was just venting his anger, but he had secretly used his Spiritual Power to destroy Liu Qiang’s ability to be a man.

The entire company lobby fell silent. No one dared to be the first to speak.

Qin Tuo shot a glacial look at Zeng Fuchai.

"Chairman Zeng, he’s your employee. You deal with him!"

Seeing Qin Tuo’s icy demeanor, Zeng Fuchai broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, don’t worry. I will be sure to take care of this piece of trash!"

As he spoke, he shot a vicious glare at Liu Qiang.

Qin Tuo’s expression remained cold as he turned and left with Han Zilin.

Watching the two of them leave, Zeng Fuchai knew he had to deal with Liu Qiang severely.

Otherwise, not only would the connection he’d built today be ruined, but he might also end up offending a major figure like Qin Tuo.

...

On the way back, Han Zilin suddenly broke down and started crying uncontrollably!

She had held Qin Tuo back today and had nearly been violated. Her emotional dam finally broke, and she fell apart completely.

Qin Tuo comforted her in a low voice as he drove:

"Zilin, don’t cry. It’s over now. Aren’t I right here with you?"

Han Zilin continued to cry nonstop, her eyes red and swollen.

With one hand, Qin Tuo held up the signed contract and presented it to her.

"Zilin, look, here’s the contract we signed. See? We’re not getting fired!"

Han Zilin stopped crying, her face full of guilt.

Qin Tuo then suggested with a smile.

"How about this, I’ll treat you to a nice dinner tonight!"

Only then did Han Zilin’s emotions gradually stabilize.

’At least,’ she thought, ’our jobs are safe now, no matter what.’
