Sweet Chief Secretary

Li Tianci stood up and walked to the side of Xiao Man who curled up on the ground. He kicked her body with his tiptoe, sneering and saying, “To be frank with you, Zeng Ziqiang was indeed killed by me. I have a lot of means to kill people. Don’t misunderstand that I will show mercy to do that since you are pretty. Ningjing, the wife-to-be of Shen Mo in those years, and Zeng Mina are pretty enough, right? But I still killed them. I will give you one more chance, so tell me whether it is Madame Zeng who asked you to change President Zhou’s medicine.”

Had Li Tianci really killed so many people? Xiao Man’s body quivered even more strongly. She opened her mouth but finally failed to make a sound as her body was trembling so fiercely.

She did not look like a bold person, but how could she dare to do such a great thing? Li Tianci shook his head silently. “Are you still not going to tell me?”

“I… I…” Gazing nervously at Li Tianci, Xiao Man swallowed hard. “She, she didn’t ask me… And I… I didn’t do it.”

Xiao Man was not stupid. This was a murder, which would only make her die even earlier if she admitted it. Also, Li Tianci was a desperado who would definitely chop her up and throw her into the sea to feed the fish.

“Good, you won’t tell me, will you?” Li Tianci gazed at her coldly. Since he had already given her a chance and she did not seize it, he was not to blame for whatever he was going to do.

Xing went over and lifted Xian Man at once with compassion in his eyes. Places like the nightclub wouldn’t treat her like a person, where she would be tortured to be half-mad in a short time.

That was even not the worst case, given that she would probably be infected all over with some diseases and die with the whole body festering in the end.

“Wipe off the bloodstains from her face and put a mask on her face. Don’t let her scare the customers here.” Li Tianci commanded in a plain and light voice. His several simple words had determined the destiny of a person.

“Yes, brother.” Xing answered. At this time, several more people came over, wiping off the bloodstains from Xiao Man’s face and putting a mask on her face. After checking and confirming that she didn’t look scary, they looked at Li Tianci, waiting for the next order.

Li Tianci waved his hand, and Xing carried Xiao Man out in a half-hug position.

At this time, the door was opened from the outside, and several policemen entered.

Li Tianci and Zhou Jiamin, seeing this scene, felt secretly that there was something wrong, which made their eyes become complicated. At this time, another man came in from behind the police and took Xiao Man from Xing.

“Secretary Xiang, please send Miss Xiao Man to the hospital. We will first take these guys to the station to have an interrogation and then come to question Miss Xiao Man to do some notes as a record in the hospital later.” The policeman said to Xiang Hui.

“Sir, the woman tried to murder President Zhou. Here’s the evidence.” Li Tianci hurried to justify himself.

The policeman took over the medicine and said sternly, “As for this case, we will investigate carefully. But you have just admitted that you are involved in several murders. Take them away!”

Had they long been suspected and targeted? Li Tianci drooped his head right now.

Since Shen Mo offered sufficient evidence, Li Tianci could not deny his murdering Zeng Ziqiang and Ningjing. Shen Mo also honored his commitment to guaranteeing Xiao Man’s safety.

Madame Zeng had no choice but to give Zeng Group to Shen Mo, despite her deep attachment to the enterprise. After a series of events, she decided to go back to the WS with Zeng Mina, since there was nothing here for her to stay for.

Zeng Mina’s condition had improved a lot under the good care of Mr. Huang. She was more likely to be able to wake up.

Before leaving, Madame Zeng went to the hospital for Xiao Man, leaving some money to her. “Xiao Man, I wanted to give you 30 percent of the shares after getting rid of Zhou Jiamin, but chance contrives better than we ourselves.”

Madame Zeng was very guilty in her mind about Xiao Man since the child almost lost her life due to their matter.

“Godmother, don’t say like that. My godfather and you took great care of my family in those years, so it’s my duty to do all of that.” Xiao Man did not intend to ask for the shares. Especially after this life-or-death risk, she had turned her back on everything.

“I’m heading to the WS in a few days, where I still own a small company. It’s enough to support Mina and me. You can come there as well after recovering.” Madame Zeng was worried that Li Tianci’s subordinates might seek revenge on her, so she wanted to take her away as well.

“Aunt, don’t worry. Li Tianci is full of iniquities, and his so-called brothers are taking every means to avoid him now. Who will actively come and get involved? Xiao Man must have a lot of feelings for the place where she grew up. She might as well stay here. I will take good care of her.” Zeng Quan happened to hear what Madame Zeng said after taking the water and coming in, so he just cut in.

He had been considered as a loser before since he would rather be a small employee in Shen Group than rely on Zeng Ziqiang, the strong leader. But he felt rather happy, thinking that one’s work must align with his ability while pursuing something big beyond one’s capacity could only harm himself and others.

Madame Zeng found his father and him after returning to the country. Zeng Quan, given that they were relatives, did everything he could to help Madame Zeng. But he did not agree with Madame Zeng’s intention to get back at Zhou Jiamin like for like. After failing to persuade her several times, he found Xiao Man and explicitly told her about the pros and cons.

Fortunately, Xiao Man took his advice and cooperated with Shen Mo and the police at the eleventh hour so that she escaped from her misery. Since then, Zeng Quan’s relationship with Xiao Man had developed by leaps and bounds.

Madame Zeng, seeing all of these, smiled. “I planned to never return after going back to the WS, but now it seems that my plan has to be changed. I will have to come back for your wedding.”

“Godmother, you are joking.” Xian Man blushed, hearing Madame Zeng’s words.

Seeing her blush, Madame Zeng laughed even more happily. Their intimate and sweet relationship reminded Madame Zeng of Zeng Mina, who looked very respectable on the surface and was also famous with a prestigious family. But she did not meet a good man.

Madame Zeng’s heart sank at the thought of Zeng Mina, who was still unconscious now. Even after she woke up, it remained a mystery whether there was any sequela.

But it was still good for her to stay alive, which was also the best out of the worst.

Madame Zeng took leave and got out after staying in the hospital for a while. She felt great as it was no longer necessary for her to avoid anyone and she could just go in and out of the front door openly.

“Isn’t this Madame Zeng? Who’s now being instigated by her to murder?” No sooner had Madame Zeng exited from the lobby than she heard the voice of a woman, which was familiar to her.

Lifting her head to have a look, Madame Zeng saw First Madame of Shen Family standing 5 steps away diagonally opposite, staring at her with a faint smile on her face.

Madame Zeng, stupefied in her mind for a second, hastened to force a smile on her face. “It turns out to be First Madame! How’s Old Madame, First Madame? I wanted to visit you but was held off by some affairs. I hope Old Madame won’t get me wrong.”

Madame Zeng didn’t anticipate coming across First Madame here. Zeng Ziqiang had exploited every means to separate Ningjing from Shen Mo in order to let Zeng Mina marry into Shen Family in the past.

Originally, the affair was just settled down like this as Ningjing went to Nihon to stay with Zhou Yan. But unexpectedly, Shen Mo was such an affectionate person at that time that he made all his way there to bring Ningjing back regardless of everything.

Zeng Ziqiang, who had long been craving for Shen Group, was so crazy and impetuous that he even followed the evil tongue of Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci. He slipped into the place where Ningjing lived when Shen Mo was not there to ask her to leave Shen Mo. But Li Tianci killed her at home after being irritated by her firm rejection.

Just at the moment when they were leaving, Shen Mo happened to come there for Ningjing. Zeng Ziqiang even went out of the place where he was hidden, framing Shen Mo for the matter that Ningjing was killed by him. Zeng Ziqiang had been threatening Shen Mo with that for so many years.

Despite his daughter’s final engagement with Shen Mo as she wished, the girl had never won Shen Mo’s heart and even ended up like this.

And the whole story, which they thought of as a secret just of their own but not anyone else’s, was actually witnessed by Ningjing’s maid, Aunt Jiang, who had kept the evidence left in the scene by Li Tianci until now.

And the case that had been settled was found out to receive a second investigation, thanks to efforts made by Zhou Yan who was persistent and Xia Yu who was meddlesome. It was really a case where justice had long arms.

As for the pain imposed by Zeng Ziqiang on Shen Mo and First Madame, Madame Zeng had no excuse to justify herself. Now, as Zeng Family had lost all its glory, she even had to smile apologetically, not to mention talking back to First Madame.

But First Madame, who had been wronged for so many years, would never give up her retaliation simply because she showed her weakness with some words. She just sneered and said, “Due to the blessing of God, I finally managed to escape from someone’s evil trick narrowly to stay alive until now.”

What First Madame said blushed Madame Zeng’s face. She said after standing for a while stiffly and blankly, “First Madame, since I’ve got something to deal with, I will leave now. Goodbye!”

After that, Madame Zeng almost fled away from the scene.

“Huh, in such haste? It seems that someone’s family is going to be in trouble.” First Madame said sarcastically, gazing at Madame Zeng’s back.

Madame Zeng heard it but dared not to turn her head back. She walked faster, almost running to the parking lot. She opened the car door and got in, crying loudly on the steering wheel.

It was true that Zeng Ziqiang made mistakes in the past. She knew Ningjing’s death, and at that time Zeng Ziqiang, who had an affair with Zhou Jiamin, had long forgotten his first wife completely.

When it came to the event, she was almost not involved at all. Now Zeng Ziqiang had died. But she and her daughter still had to suffer the sin-ridden life due to his evil.

After crying to her heart’s content for a while, Madame Zeng wiped off her tears and took out her phone to send a message to her assistant, asking her to make a statement in the newspaper. Since Zeng Mina was driven into a vegetative state due to the car accident, concerning Shen Mo’s prospect, Madame Zeng declared that the engagement between Zeng Family and Shen Family was terminated now. But as her fiancé, Shen Mo had been taking care of Zeng Mina to the fullest after the accident, and it could be said that he had a deep affection for her. Madame Zeng was very grateful to Shen Mo for all this. However, since Madame Zeng was utterly ignorant of business and had to take care of Zeng Mina, she decided to let Shen Mo take charge of the company.

Shortly after the statement of Madame Zeng was unveiled, Shen Mo also made a statement that he would break off the engagement with Zeng Mina and take over as the President of Zeng Group. And his feeling of gratitude or resentment for Zeng Mina and Zeng Family came to a conclusion at present.

After Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci, who were locked in the detention center, saw these two statements, Zhou Jiamin broke into tears.

She felt it was unfair. She had made so much effort, and almost all of her youth time was wasted, but she ended up in prison, while Shen Mo just took over Zeng Group.

As for Li Tianci, he lifted his head, uttering a long sigh after seeing the statements. It turned out that Zeng Group finally became the thing in his pocket. Was he still not resigned to the result? Maybe a little. But Li Tianci was aware that he would have no chance to compete against Shen Mo anymore in his life.

There were several murder cases related to him. Some were done by himself, while some were done in his order. He knew what kind of result was waiting for him.
