Hearing Wang Shuquan ask if something had happened at home, Guo Liangming thought of the evidence he had gathered over the past few days through investigation—proof of his wife’s adultery with his own brother—and the paternity test report he had just received from the genetic testing center, which confirmed that his two sons were not biologically his.
The drunken Guo Liangming couldn’t hold back his explosive temper. He swung his fist and directly punched Wang Shuquan in the face.
Wang Shuquan was instantly struck dizzy and fell to the ground, briefly losing consciousness.
Looking at Wang Shuquan, whom he had knocked down with a single punch, Guo Liangming, feeling slightly better, didn’t bother with him. Instead, he continued to stagger forward, all the while cursing his brother.
“Guo Liangzhi, you damned beast who slept with your own sister-in-law and gave me such a huge pair of cuckold’s horns, I’ve come for you. Today you must pay for what you’ve done.”
Hearing Guo Liangming’s angry shouts, all the Dahngheng Real Estate employees present, along with Zhao Liang standing not far from the fallen Wang Shuquan, couldn’t help but show astonished expressions. Some even pinched their own thighs to confirm they weren’t dreaming.
Watching Guo Liangming stagger into the elevator heading straight to the top-floor chairman’s office, Yan Qi, who had recognized him long ago and clearly understood the whole story, couldn’t help but show a gleeful expression.
“Haha, these damned bloodsuckers are finally getting their comeuppance. But why does he look so angry? Could it be that his sons really aren’t his?”
Just as Yan Qi was chuckling to herself, she noticed Guo Liangming’s extreme agitation. She recalled that in her originally planned revenge scheme against these unscrupulous, wealthy capitalists, there had been a crucial step involving tampering with Guo Liangming’s paternity test report. However, due to various reasons, that step had never been fully implemented. She couldn’t help but think to herself.
To confirm if her suspicion was correct, Yan Qi quickly directed Jizi Ge, the avatar she had dispatched before leaving the Special Affairs Bureau today, to infiltrate the internet to investigate and gather evidence.
Knowing Jizi Ge would need some time to sort through the gathered information, and although she really wanted her main self to stay and enjoy the drama, Yan Qi remembered she and Zhao Liang still had an uncompleted mission. She quickly turned to Zhao Liang, who was still in a daze.
“Brother Zhao Liang, stop spacing out. We need to hurry and go find the suspect, Han Xiaohu.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s somewhat soft, cute voice by his ear, Zhao Liang snapped out of the shock induced by Guo Liangming’s earlier words.
Glancing at Wang Shuquan lying on the ground, he then said to Yan Qi.
“Xiao Qi, let’s not rush to find the suspect just yet. I’ll first check on Secretary Wang’s condition.”
After speaking, Zhao Liang quickly walked over to Wang Shuquan, squatted down, and patted the side of his face—which now had a large bruise from Guo Liangming’s punch—firmly, while saying to him.
“Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang, are you okay?”
Feeling the throbbing pain from his facial wound being touched and hearing someone repeatedly calling his name, Wang Shuquan soon regained consciousness from his brief coma.
“What happened to me?”
Opening his eyes, Wang Shuquan, who was clearly dazed and couldn’t remember being hit by Guo Liangming, looked at Zhao Liang and asked in confusion.
Hearing this and knowing he was still somewhat disoriented from just waking up, Zhao Liang, to help him regain clarity faster, said to him.
“Secretary Wang, weren’t you just punched by your General Manager? What, have you already forgotten?”
“I was punched by our General Manager? Oh, right, I was punched by our General Manager. Damn it, Officer Zhao, where is our General Manager?”
Reminded by Zhao Liang, Wang Shuquan finally recalled the earlier events and instantly became fully alert. Then, ignoring the pain on his face, he quickly sat up from the ground, grabbed Zhao Liang’s shoulders, and asked this question.
Hearing this, Zhao Liang saw no reason to hide anything. He gestured with his chin towards the nearby elevator and said.
“Your General Manager has already taken the elevator upstairs. If what he yelled at us earlier is true, I estimate he’s probably already reached your Chairman’s office by now.”
“I see, thank you, Officer Zhao.”
Having been knocked out by Guo Liangming’s punch earlier, Wang Shuquan hadn’t heard the curses Guo Liangming uttered after he lost consciousness. Not dwelling on it, he hurriedly thanked Zhao Liang and then rushed towards the elevator.
Watching Wang Shuquan leave and confirming he was basically fine, Zhao Liang, who had no intention of lingering in the Dahngheng Real Estate headquarters, soon turned his gaze back to Yan Qi.
“Hmm, Xiao Qi, what are you laughing about? Why does it seem so… sinister?”
Noticing the sudden, somewhat evil smile on Yan Qi’s face, Zhao Liang, feeling something was off, couldn’t help but ask her in confusion.
Faced with Zhao Liang’s question, Yan Qi—who had just received news from her avatar Jizi Ge confirming that Guo Liangming’s two sons were indeed not biologically his and couldn’t contain her glee—realized her earlier smile had been too conspicuous. She quickly controlled her emotions, resumed her normal expression, and explained to Zhao Liang.
“It’s nothing, Brother Zhao Liang. I just suddenly thought of something very funny, so I couldn’t help laughing like that.”
“Is that so?”
Receiving Yan Qi’s answer and seeing her return to normal, Zhao Liang still felt a hint of suspicion in his heart.
But then, remembering that Yan Qi was a pure, natural, unmodified, super cute white-haired, red-eyed little loli, the last bit of his doubt vanished.
“Brother Zhao Liang, since Secretary Wang is fine now, we should go and do our mission.”
Remembering what Zhao Liang had said earlier and knowing they still had a suspect to catch, Yan Qi proactively reminded him.
Hearing this, Zhao Liang quickly nodded and replied to Yan Qi.
“Right, you’re correct, Xiao Qi. Let’s go now then. The sooner we finish the task, the sooner we can rest.”
After saying this, Zhao Liang led Yan Qi out of the Dahngheng Real Estate headquarters building.
