Wang Xiaoyan's face was ashen.
This was nothing short of a farce.
She couldn't help but feel a touch of disappointment in Chen Jie.
Was this guy always this unrestrained in his actions?
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Jie suddenly reached out again, condensing his true qi into his fingertips, and then pointed forward.
With a swish, the true qi was like a sharp blade, slicing open the last piece of Gao Fang's clothing.
Bang...
A muffled sound of a wine bottle dropping was heard.
Immediately after, a transparent bottle fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
This actually worked?
It was like a small knife cutting through a buttock, opening one's eyes to a new understanding!
Seeing that Chen Jie was relentless, Wang Xiaoyan's anger flared.
However, just as she was about to erupt, she suddenly noticed the white, transparent glass bottle on the ground.
Her gaze sharpened involuntarily.
Chen Jie also took out a tissue from his pocket, picked up the bottle, and examined it.
"You were the one who poisoned Wang Xiaoyan, weren't you?" Chen Jie said, looking at her.
What?
Wang Xiaoyan stared at Gao Fang in disbelief.
Gao Fang's face instantly turned deathly pale.
But she still put up a tough front, "I don't know what you're talking about! Why would I poison Manager Wang?"
Chen Jie said calmly, "Since the Zhou family wanted to kill Wang Xiaoyan, they wouldn't have sent only Qian Wudi. Therefore, I guessed that the first person the Zhou family sent was you! When Wang Xiaoyan was about to die from poisoning, Qian Wudi would then enter and confirm, to prevent any accidents!"
"Am I right?"
"You're spouting nonsense! Don't just search something on me and accuse me of poisoning! That's my personal toy that I bought out of boredom! Give it back to me quickly!"
Suddenly, Gao Fang lunged at Chen Jie desperately, trying to snatch the bottle from his hand.
"Whether it was you or not, it's very simple to prove. Just drink what's inside!"
Chen Jie dodged to the side, and Gao Fang missed.
Then, he flicked his finger, popped open the cap, and with a whoosh.
The liquid inside the bottle was accurately flung directly into Gao Fang's mouth.
"Gulp, gulp..." Gao Fang, as if sensing great terror, quickly reached for her throat to force it out.
But it was too late.
She stopped her futile efforts, glared at Chen Jie and Wang Xiaoyan, and said, "You two dogs, you deserve to die! The Zhou family will never let you go! I hate... I hate myself for having the chance and not slitting this bitch's throat!"
"I hate you, you bastard, for not coming out sooner or later, but appearing at this exact moment! If it weren't for you, I would have secretly controlled the Wang Corporation soon..."
Before she could finish speaking, her entire face suddenly contorted.
Then, a large hole appeared at her throat, from which pus and black blood flowed out.
Eventually, she collapsed on the ground, her entire body dissolving into a pool of pus, emitting a nauseating stench.
The poison she drank was the concentrated original solution, while what Wang Xiaoyan had drunk was mixed with some water and diluted several times.
This was why Wang Xiaoyan had a chance to survive, and Gao Fang died so quickly.
Ah!
Wang Xiaoyan screamed and stumbled back a few steps.
In her entire life, this was the first time she had witnessed something so horrifying.
"I've done you another big favor!" Chen Jie said to Wang Xiaoyan.
Wang Xiaoyan said earnestly, "Chen Jie, thank you!"
She only now realized that her secretary of two years was a spy sent by the Zhou family.
It was also fortunate that Chen Jie had appeared; otherwise, she might not have been so lucky to escape a similar fate next time.
Then, she looked at Chen Jie in shock.
She herself hadn't noticed anything, yet Chen Jie had been able to figure it out!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going!" Chen Jie nodded, too lazy to say more, and left.
He trusted that Wang Xiaoyan would handle these matters properly.
Wang Xiaoyan swept her gaze across everyone present. Some met her gaze, while others dodged it.
"Anyone connected to the Zhou family, confess now. I'll give you a chance to leave the company!" Wang Xiaoyan said calmly.
That day, the Wang Corporation's senior management underwent a shake-up. Many executives resigned, and some disappeared mysteriously.
In the office, Wang Xiaoyan said to the North and South Elders, "The two of you, secretly follow Chen Jie. If Chen Jie encounters trouble, help him!"
"Yes!" The North and South Elders replied after a moment's hesitation.
After leaving the Wang Corporation, Chen Jie didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he went to Jiang Long's house again.
He had promised Jiang Long he would stay there for a while.
Pushing open the door, he saw Jiang Long sitting in the courtyard, smoking with a dejected expression.
"Chen Jie, you're back!" Jiang Long said with a delighted surprise upon seeing Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded, feeling a slight warmth in his heart. It seemed Jiang Long had been worried about him.
"Quick, quick, come inside!" Jiang Long urged.
Jiang Long led Chen Jie into the living room and saw Jiang Xue sitting with her legs crossed, leisurely watching television.
She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of hot pants that barely reached her thighs.
Chen Jie's eyes immediately caught the striking curve of her buttocks below the hem of her shorts.
"Hmph!" Jiang Xue snorted, feeling Chen Jie's gaze, and quickly uncrossed her legs.
Carelessly, she had been caught peeping by this brat again.
"Uncle Jiang, where's Auntie?" Chen Jie asked.
"She's sleeping in the inner room. The doctor just left." Wu Li had been seriously injured today. Although her previous actions had been heartless, Jiang Long had still hired a doctor to treat her.
"Is she alright?" Chen Jie asked.
Jiang Long glanced at Chen Jie and said, "She's fine. Just superficial wounds. Compared to Ah Bei's child, they're considered minor."
This reminded Chen Jie, and he asked, "Uncle Jiang, has the old man caused you any more trouble?"
Jiang Long said with a wry smile, "Ever since Miss Wang invited you away, the old man's attitude towards our family has improved a lot. It's very different from before."
Jiang Xue had no intention of speaking.
Chen Jie nodded and said no more.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Jiang Long hesitated for a moment, then said to Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, what did Miss Wang Xiaoyan of the Wang family invite you over for?"
Jiang Xue glanced over, her ears perking up subtly.
"Uncle Jiang, to be frank, I have an engagement with this Miss Wang Xiaoyan!" Chen Jie had no intention of hiding this from them.
"Is that so?" Jiang Long exclaimed in surprise.
A hint of bitterness then appeared on his face.
Wang Xiaoyan was the president of the Wang Corporation, a much more powerful identity than the Jiang family.
She was even on par with the Zhou family.
He knew that Chen Jie was no longer the same as he was before. He had originally hoped to reunite Chen Jie with his daughter when Chen Jie returned.
Now, it seemed, with a fiancée like Wang Xiaoyan, did his daughter still have a chance?
Previously, he had simply wanted Chen Jie to marry his daughter, thereby helping Chen Jie.
Now it seemed that it was Jiang Xue who was reaching for the stars by marrying Chen Jie.
"Nonsense!" Jiang Xue, after a moment of stunned silence, quickly said with disdain.
