Chapter 245: Chapter 245: The Assistant Turns Against _1
Lin Bingqing waited for Wang Qian in anger, her body trembling with fury.
She had always seen Wang Qian as her able confidant, treating her like a close friend, never just as a subordinate.
But she had never imagined that she could have misjudged someone so badly.
The one she valued most would turn against her and bite back in such a crucial moment.
And now, Wang Qian stood elegantly on the stage, revealing such explosive information, immediately drawing everyone’s attention as they turned their eyes towards her.
Wang Qian let out a cold laugh, arrogantly saying, "Betrayal? Don’t make it sound so ugly. I never considered you anything special!"
"When I first joined the company, it was for this very reason!"
"I had already investigated and found out that Lingquan Company was manufacturing and selling counterfeit and shoddy products, committing heinous crimes and harming many, which is why I risked my life to infiltrate Lingquan Company, to bring the truth to everyone."
"During the time of my investigation, Lingquan Company tried more than once to silence me, offering a sky-high sum which I refused, because, I have a conscience!"
Wang Qian’s mouth was full of righteous words, filling the listeners with fervor.
"Truly a good girl, not only beautiful but also brave and righteous, admirable indeed!"
"Such women are rare in this day and age!"
"If it weren’t for her, we all would still be deceived by Spirit Spring Water! We owe our thanks to such a champion of justice who has torn away Lingquan Company’s veil of shame."
"Exactly, before, Spirit Spring Water was held up so high, almost deemed capable of anything. I always knew there was something fishy, and now it seems I was right! Lingquan Company, a company of swindlers, should go bankrupt!"
Some of the uninformed audience members had already been brainwashed by Wang Qian’s words, taking her words for granted, and began to blame Lin Bingqing without reason.
Some of the bolder ones even started throwing mineral water bottles towards the stage, causing instant chaos.
Lin Bingqing was gradually becoming overwhelmed, facing a multitude of accusers, her eyes beginning to moisten.
Wang Qian revealed a smug smile, seeing the crowd’s emotions rising, she faced the camera, took off the uniform of Lingquan Company she was wearing, and threw it furiously to the ground.
"From today on, I voluntarily leave Lingquan Company, and swear never to enter it again. With my humble abilities, I want to unveil the dark secrets behind Lingquan Company!"
Her perfect figure was exposed, instantly igniting the audience.
And her impassioned speech won the applause of countless people.
The rhythm was completely controlled by Wang Qian; Lin Bingqing could only stare with her eyes wide open, unable to get a word in.
Moreover, under the current circumstances, even if she wanted to speak up, her credibility was practically nil, and no one would believe her.
Just then, a man slowly walked onto the stage.
He was handsome and moved with elegance, coming up to Wang Qian and gently draping his coat over her.
Some people had already recognized him; he was the most devoted of Lin Bingqing’s many suitors.
"Isn’t that Ma Xiang, the young master of the Ma Family? He was famously infatuated with Lin Bingqing, making a spectacle that everyone knew about. How come he’s showing favor to another woman now?"
"A black-hearted woman like Lin Bingqing isn’t worth the pursuit of Young Master Ma. His decision is the right one! I support Young Master Ma."
Hearing these murmurs, Ma Xiang showed a sly smile.
He cleared his throat and spoke loudly, "Everyone is right, I indeed pursued Miss Lin for a while, but then I discovered their unspeakable secrets behind the scenes, that’s why I cut my losses in time and didn’t continue!"
Ma Xiang feigned a heartbroken expression and said, "Before, I was deceived by Lin Bingqing’s appearance. It is only now, after hearing what Miss Wang has said, that I truly understand what ’a heart of a venomous snake’ means!"
"Lin Bingqing, you make money without a conscience. Does your heart not ache?"
"You..." Lin Bingqing’s face turned pale with anger. Unable to accept such slander, she was at a loss for words.
The exhaustion and stress of the past few days had already worn Lin Bingqing down. Coupled with the current situation, her emotions were incredibly heightened.
The combination of feelings caused her vision to darken, and she collapsed.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, suddenly, a pair of strong hands steadied her.
"You must be very tired recently. You need to take care of yourself!"
Ye Ming’s voice echoed in Lin Bingqing’s ears, warming her heart and bringing tears to her eyes.
She looked at Ye Ming with grievance and choked out the word, "Master!"
After helping her up, Ye Ming patted Lin Bingqing on the shoulder and comforted her, "You have handled so many things for me. I should share the burden. Leave the rest to me!"
Lin Bingqing obediently nodded.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Qian immediately showed a look of disdain, "Look at this pair, a couple of shameless dogs in cahoots. What, have you come here to make some pathetic excuse now?"
She spared no one with her vicious words, bombarding Ye Ming relentlessly.
Ye Ming did not respond immediately, instead slowly straightening his clothes in a calm manner.
He walked leisurely over to Wang Qian, lifted his right hand, and delivered a resounding slap to her face.
Slap!
A crisp sound caused the previously chaotic scene to fall silent instantly.
Countless eyes were fixated on Ye Ming; no one dared to speak.
Wang Qian staggered as she steadied herself. The slap had left her head spinning and her body trembling,
She glared at Ye Ming, demanding, "Who are you? How dare you hit me in front of everyone?"
"Where is security? Get him out of here!"
The slap had been clean and forceful, leaving Wang Qian barely able to stand.
She had forgotten to fight back and didn’t dare to. Her only recourse was to call for security.
Unfortunately for her, the security guards were also stunned, standing below the stage, unsure of what to do.
Without a word, Ye Ming delivered a second slap.
He hadn’t used his full strength, only a third of it, and yet that was enough to leave Wang Qian’s face swollen like a pig’s head.
If he had used full force, Wang Qian’s petite frame wouldn’t have withstood even a single slap.
After the second slap, Wang Qian collapsed onto the ground, her face the epitome of disarray.
By now Ma Xiang had recovered from his shock, stepping in front of Wang Qian to question, "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to hit people at will?"
Ye Ming looked at him coldly and said, "The matters of our own company are none of your business. Get out of the way!"
