Chapter 216 The President Dies
Chapter 216 The President Dies
"Twice Time Break!"
Pink and gold light suddenly shone around the three alien knights, and the light quickly intertwined and swirled in the air, eventually forming a huge "Kick" character.
Zi-O leaped into the air, his eyes fixed on the three Another Riders, all his power concentrated in his right foot.
Propelled by Zi-O's leg strength, the "Kick" character sped away like a shooting star, heading straight for the three Another Riders.
With a deafening roar, the letter "Kick" collided with the three Another Riders, instantly exploding. A powerful force swept over them like a torrent, annihilating the three Another Riders before they could even utter a scream.
Zhuang Changwu landed steadily on the ground, his breathing a little rapid, and a few beads of sweat on his forehead. Although that kick had successfully eliminated the Alien Knight, it had also taken a toll on his stamina.
However, just as he breathed a slight sigh of relief, a thought suddenly occurred to him. He seemed to have heard a scream, and the sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the emergency exit.
Zhuang Changwu's expression changed drastically; he immediately realized something might have happened. Without the slightest hesitation, he flashed forward like a gust of wind, rushing towards the safety door.
Reaching the security door, Zhuang Changwu raised his sword without hesitation and slashed down fiercely. With a "crack," the security door was cleaved open by his sword, sending metal shards flying everywhere.
The moment the door was cleaved open, a strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. Zhuang Changwu stared intently, and the sight before him left him so shocked he could barely move.
The emergency exit was a scene of utter chaos, with blood staining the ground. In the center of this bloody scene stood a figure covered in blood.
He held a blood-stained longsword in his hand, and at his feet lay Wen Wanting's lifeless corpse. Wen Wanting's eyes were wide open, and her face still bore the marks of terror and despair.
Around him, a group of his subordinates lay or sat, all sprawled on the ground. Their faces were filled with terror as they stared intently at Xing Tian, the only one still standing. Fortunately, apart from their leader, they were all still alive.
Zhuang Changwu's body trembled violently. His eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him in disbelief. "You! You actually killed the chairman! How dare you!" His voice trembled with rage, and he gripped the sword in his hand even tighter, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Lin Yue was somewhat surprised, not expecting Zhuang Changwu to be everywhere. However, in this case, she would have to go all out with the act.
"So it's your president." Lin Yue turned on her voice changer and kicked the corpse on the ground. "We originally wanted to lure Zi-O out, but we didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Changwu's eyes widened in anger, and he roared, "What is your Time Management Bureau trying to do? Your men have already been wiped out! Our reinforcements are on their way, you can't escape!"
"Is anyone coming? Damn it! I'll let you go for now! But next time, you won't be so lucky!" Lin Yue brandished her longsword in the air, bringing with it a sharp sword aura, and rushed straight towards Zhuang Changwu like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, Zhuang Changwu dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly raised his long sword and swung it with all his might. With a loud bang, the two powerful forces collided in the air, producing a series of deafening explosions.
The smoke from the explosion filled the entire area, blurring visibility. Zhuang Changwu stared nervously ahead, but as the smoke gradually dissipated, he was surprised to find that only Wen Wanting's terrified confidants remained on the field, while the Dark War God Xing Tian had vanished without a trace.
Zhuang Changwu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his heart filled with a mixture of anger and helplessness. He silently cursed his own incompetence.
Wen Wanting's confidants seemed to suddenly snap out of their daze and swarmed around Zhuang Changwu. One of them, her face streaked with tears, said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Zhuang, the chairman... what should we do?"
Zhuang Changwu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Looking at these people who had lost their leader, he was filled with guilt. If he hadn't arrived too late, perhaps so many innocent people wouldn't have lost their lives.
He suppressed his anger and tried to speak calmly: "First, make proper arrangements for the president's body and prevent her from being disturbed. I will give everyone an explanation as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned and left, but his steps seemed somewhat heavy.
.........
Wen Wanting's death caused a huge uproar, but it also made the investigation of many things much easier.
The former president of the A City association was quickly released, and the first thing he did upon his release was to thoroughly investigate corruption within the association. A large number of Wen Wanting's cronies were arrested or dismissed.
The former president's swift and decisive methods swept through the entire association like a storm, instantly transforming the previously somewhat dull internal environment.
Meanwhile, Wen Zhen was leisurely enjoying his time, completely unaware of the impending storm. However, when he learned of Wen Wanting's death, his world collapsed instantly.
However, Wen Zhen's grief did not last long. Soon, he recovered from his shock and realized a cruel reality—he had lost his most important protector, which meant he would soon be arrested and brought to justice.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Wen Zhen did not panic like most people would. On the contrary, he calmly took out a cigarette, slowly lit it, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a cloud of smoke.
Immediately afterward, Wen Zhen took action. He quickly made several phone calls, and at the same time, he sent a message to a specific person on his phone.
After completing these steps, Wen Zhen opened a mysterious folder. Surprisingly, this folder contained thousands of videos and photo albums! Even more shockingly, the faces of all the men in each video were blurred, while only the face and body parts of the woman appearing in every video were clearly visible, as if it were intentional.
Wen Zhen stared at the documents, a barely perceptible gleam of pleasure flashing in her eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wen Zhen decisively uploaded everything in the folder—including the videos and photo albums—to the internet! This move undoubtedly caused a huge uproar.
After doing all this, Wen Zhen deleted all the relevant data without hesitation, as if she wanted to completely sever ties with these things.
Finally, he sat there quietly, waiting for the inspectors to come and arrest him.
Li Yuejiao did not sit idly by. She guessed that Wen Wanting's death was Lin Yue's doing. Although she did not know how she did it, she immediately launched a series of actions and collected all kinds of evidence.
After some effort, she was surprised to find that so many officials in City A had accepted Wen Zhen and Bai Xiaohua, who had come to her door.
Some of these officials were even part of her network of connections, which shocked and frustrated Li Yuejiao.
If she were to hand over this evidence to the higher-ups and have them arrest people, then without a doubt, a large number of people would lose their jobs and might even face imprisonment.
However, this was not the issue that worried Li Yuejiao the most. Once these officials were arrested, Bai Xiaohua's affair would inevitably become a hot topic.
Although Bai Xiaohua was forced into it, the fact that she was violated by numerous people cannot be changed. In society, she will likely suffer countless pointing fingers and strange looks.
Sometimes, women who are raped, despite being victims, suffer more intense malice from society than their perpetrators.
Li Yuejiao was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, there was justice and the law; those corrupt officials deserved to be punished. On the other hand, there was Bai Xiaohua's future; she didn't want this poor girl to suffer further harm.
But assassinations were out of the question; the deaths of a large number of officials at once would put her in a difficult position. She knew Lin Yue had some methods, but no matter what, using the same method too often would arouse suspicion.
Bai Xiaohua continues to live in Li Yuejiao's base, completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world. She is isolated from the world.
However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, her phone suddenly vibrated, breaking the silence.
