Just as Zhao Liang and Yan Qi were leaving the headquarters building of Daheng Real Estate, Guo Liangming, who had already downed several bottles of liquor early in the morning and was thoroughly drunk, had already taken the elevator up to the office door of his younger brother, who was also the chairman of Daheng Real Estate.
After glancing at the nameplate on the wall to confirm he was in the right place, Guo Liangming kicked the office door.
With a groan of protest from the lock, the door soon swung open, revealing Guo Liangzhi, who had been hiding in his office busy getting cozy with a new intern, right in Guo Liangming’s line of sight.
Hearing the sound of his office door being kicked open, Guo Liangzhi, who had just started feeling a bit excited while holding the new intern but hadn’t yet made a move, was instantly scared stiff, and his excitement withered away.
Once he recovered and realized someone had ruined his fun and nearly scared him into permanent impotence, Guo Liangzhi, as a man, was understandably furious. He immediately pushed the intern off him, turned towards the door, and started shouting.
“Which damn bastard dares to kick my office door open while I’m in the middle of important business? Don’t you believe I’ll have security throw you right out!”
“Important business? Your important business is hiding in your office doing this with the company’s new intern?”
Hearing the shouting from inside the office and seeing the two disheveled individuals, Guo Liangming, though drunk, had sobered up considerably upon seeing his brother. A cold smirk couldn’t help but appear on his face as he addressed his brother in a mocking tone.
Hearing the voice of the person who had kicked his door open and recognizing it as his older brother’s, Guo Liangzhi froze in his chair.
Once he snapped out of it, he quickly shot a look at the intern beside him. Understanding immediately, the intern hurriedly straightened her clothes and hastily left the chairman’s office through the now-broken doorway.
Watching the intern disappear from view, Guo Liangzhi then looked at Guo Liangming, who was clearly heavily intoxicated and reeked of alcohol, and asked somewhat confusedly.
“Brother, what’s gotten into you today? Why did you have to come straight up and kick my office door open?”
Hearing this, Guo Liangming snorted contemptuously through his nose.
“Don’t call me ‘brother.’ You beast, you’re not worthy.”
“Beast? Brother, what do you mean? Have I done something to wrong you, that you’d want to cut ties with me?”
Knowing full well that the secret affairs between him and his sister-in-law had been handled with utmost discretion, leaving no trace for his brother to possibly find, Guo Liangzhi deliberately put on an expression of complete ignorance, looking pitifully at Guo Liangming as he asked.
Seeing the fake look of innocence plastered on his younger brother’s face, Guo Liangming thought that if Yan Qi hadn’t sent him irrefutable evidence through secret channels, coupled with the paternity test he had secretly done, he might have actually been fooled into thinking his brother was innocent and that he was being wronged.
“Stop playing innocent, you beast. I know everything about you and your sister-in-law, including the fact that my two sons aren’t my own.”
“Ah? Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Hearing his brother’s words, Guo Liangzhi, who had thought his brother knew nothing, instantly panicked inside. However, he maintained his calm exterior, continuing to play dumb to placate his brother while secretly and urgently calling the company’s security via internal communication, telling them to come up immediately to protect him in case his brother tried to fight him.
Watching his brother feign shock, pretending to be completely unaware of what he was talking about, Guo Liangming felt nothing but disgust. He then swung his fist and charged at him, determined to smash that disgusting, ill-omened face of his.
Seeing his older brother charge forward, Guo Liangzhi naturally knew what he intended to do. He didn’t dare stay put and wait to be hit, so he quickly got up and started circling around the desk in the office with Guo Liangming, engaged in a frantic orbit.
“Brother, brother, stop! Stop! Can’t we just talk this over calmly?”
“Talk my foot! Today, I’m going to end this with you, you animal!”
Just as Guo Liangming and Guo Liangzhi were madly circling the desk…
Wang Shuquan, who had been previously knocked out cold by Guo Liangming with one punch, had woken up after lying unconscious on the ground for a while. Without even tending to the injuries on his face, he had hurriedly taken the elevator up here. Seeing the situation inside the office, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
But he quickly snapped out of it, rushing forward and grabbing hold of Guo Liangming, trying to stop his frantic actions against his own brother.
“Manager Guo! Manager Guo! Calm down! Please, stop this crazy behavior! There must be some misunderstanding between you and Chairman Guo.”
“Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding between me and this beast. Let me go, or I’ll take you down with him today!”
Just as Guo Liangming was struggling wildly, trying to break free from Wang Shuquan’s grip…
The security guards, summoned earlier by Guo Liangzhi via internal communication, finally arrived at the chairman’s office.
Seeing the clearly chaotic scene inside the chairman’s office, the guards, who were witnessing this for the first time, couldn’t help but stare dumbfounded.
Except for one young man among them who kept his cap pulled low, merely watching everything with a cold eye.
“What are you standing there gawking for? Hurry up and come help me hold Manager Guo down!”
Noticing the guards frozen at the doorway, and with his own strength no longer sufficient to restrain Guo Liangming, Wang Shuquan shouted at them to come help immediately.
Hearing this, the stunned guards finally reacted. They quickly stepped forward, pinned Guo Liangming down on the office sofa, and put an end to his frenzied behavior.
“Are you alright, Chairman Guo?”
Looking at Guo Liangming, now subdued by the guards, Wang Shuquan, unsure of his own boss Guo Liangzhi’s condition, turned and asked him this.
