"Little trash, it's your turn!"
Qian Wudi's face wore a sinister smile as he slapped Chen Jie.
"Chen Jie, run!" Wang Xiaoyan exclaimed in terror.
She then pulled Chen Jie’s hand and ran towards the wall on the right.
Her office had a safe room, meant for emergencies and survival, which was her confidence.
As long as she could hold on long enough, someone would come to save her.
Although she knew Chen Jie was a master of internal energy, she didn't believe he could defeat Qian Wudi, so she wanted to take him to safety with her.
"Hmph, if I had to run from every minor character I encountered, how could I have the capital to make the entire Zhou family kneel before me in three days?" Chen Jie remained still, speaking indifferently.
"You..." Wang Xiaoyan was both angry and anxious, not expecting Chen Jie to still be posturing in front of her at a time like this.
It was too late to enter the safe room now. Qian Wudi, enraged, struck Chen Jie's face with his palm.
"Little trash, how dare you call me a minor character! I only intended to cripple your limbs, but you've successfully enraged me. I'm going to eat you alive!" Qian Wudi roared furiously.
"You dare bark at me? Die!" Chen Jie's expression turned cold. Spiritual energy gathered in his right hand, and he struck out with his palm.
He only had a sliver of spiritual energy within him, but that was enough to deal with Qian Wudi.
"Ah!"
Wang Xiaoyan shrieked, instinctively covering her eyes, unable to watch.
*Bang!*
Their palms met.
A crackling sound was heard, and Qian Wudi's body seemed to break, bones making continuous noises.
Then, he withdrew his hand and looked at it, to his horror, his hand was covered in blood.
"What's happening? I feel like all my bones are broken! What kind of energy is this? Who exactly are you..." Qian Wudi asked Chen Jie, trembling in fear.
Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
He felt his internal injuries worsening uncontrollably.
The changes in his body were beyond his comprehension.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at Chen Jie in shock: How was this possible!
She knew Qian Wudi held a high position in the Zhou family, a position derived from his strength. The Twin Elders had once commented that they only had a thirty percent chance of victory against him, and would be unable to kill him.
And now, Chen Jie had defeated him with a single palm strike?
Chen Jie sneered, "With your trash-level strength, you dare claim you'll eat me? I think you're too slow to even eat warm shit!"
"Argh! You little beast, how dare you disrespect me! Today, even if I have to give my life, I will kill you! Die!"
Chen Jie's words ignited Qian Wudi's fury.
He charged madly at Chen Jie, deciding to use his strongest, most crucial skill, sacrificing everything to salvage his dignity.
Chen Jie smirked, not even moving.
If he could reach him after taking that palm strike, he would be considered capable.
Indeed, as Qian Wudi approached Chen Jie, his aura weakened, his imposing stance becoming hollow as his life force rapidly ebbed away.
"Stop! Qian Wudi, how dare you!"
Suddenly, a booming shout echoed.
Outside the door, the Twin Elders arrived.
Seeing Qian Wudi advancing on Chen Jie and Wang Xiaoyan, they assumed the pair were in dire straits.
They approached with all their might, *bang bang!*
With a punch each to Qian Wudi's back, they struck.
"Ah!"
Qian Wudi screamed in agony, his body bearing two large craters as he fell to the ground, dead.
"Miss, are you alright?" the Twin Elders asked Wang Xiaoyan with concern.
"Qian Wudi is dead?" Wang Xiaoyan murmured, looking at Qian Wudi's corpse.
"What?" The Twin Elders were taken aback.
They quickly knelt down to examine Qian Wudi's body.
Soon, they burst into mad laughter, "Hahaha... We actually killed Qian Wudi! Excellent!"
"This dog, he always looked down on us, but we didn't expect our strength to steadily grow even in our old age. Qian Wudi can't even withstand one of our punches now, truly the lowest of the low!"
"Pah, you've lived your old age like a dog, not as good as us old fellows!" The Twin Elders spat on Qian Wudi's corpse.
Chen Jie shook his head speechlessly. These two were truly deluded.
However, since they were Wang Xiaoyan's subordinates, Chen Jie couldn't be bothered to expose them.
"Twin Elders, you are mistaken. Actually..." Wang Xiaoyan began to explain.
Even if she were foolish, she could see that Chen Jie's palm strike was the decisive blow. Qian Wudi was already spent after facing Chen Jie, allowing the Twin Elders to snatch the kill.
However, the Twin Elders gave her no chance to speak. Instead, they glared at Chen Jie with displeasure.
"Young Master Chen, we allow you to approach Miss Wang, but please do not bring your danger to her side!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Jie asked, frowning.
The Twin Elders said coldly, "If we hadn't arrived in time just now, do you know what your situation would have been? Miss Wang was almost implicated by you! I don't want to see this happen again!"
"How am I implicating Wang Xiaoyan?" Chen Jie countered.
"Kid, still talking tough! Do you really think calling you Young Master Chen makes you an equal to our Wang family?" the Twin Elders scoffed.
"So, you killed a cripple I disabled and now you think you saved my life?" Chen Jie said calmly.
"What did you say?"
The Twin Elders roared, "Ungrateful wretch, we saved your life, and you still dare to claim credit! If it weren't for Miss Wang's high regard for you, do you think we would have saved you and shown you such respect today?"
"Without Miss Wang, you are nothing!"
"Arrogant old fools, dare to speak again, and I'll cripple you too!" Chen Jie said coldly.
"How presumptuous of you, young man. We are genuinely curious how you plan to cripple us. Come now, if you fail to cripple us, then today you will taste a lesson for your overconfidence!"
The Twin Elders made a move to attack Chen Jie.
"Stop!" Wang Xiaoyan suddenly commanded.
"Miss Wang..."
*Slap, slap!*
Wang Xiaoyan extended her hands and slapped each of them, saying coldly, "Have you forgotten who your master is?"
How could she not see that Chen Jie was getting angry?
If a fight truly broke out, the Twin Elders' reputation would be ruined.
"Miss Wang, we apologize..." The Twin Elders' expressions changed, and they quickly said.
"From now on, I declare Chen Jie the second largest shareholder of our Wang Corporation! He is also your master!" Wang Xiaoyan announced.
"What? No!"
The Twin Elders quickly objected, "Miss, we are aware of what happened back then, but if you agree to Chen Jie so rashly, the Family Head will likely not approve!"
"How can I not understand my father's intentions? But rest assured, Chen Jie will resolve the Zhou family issue and prove himself! At that time, no one will be more suitable as my fiancé than him!" Wang Xiaoyan said coldly.
Previously, she had no confidence in Chen Jie, believing she could only overcome this crisis with the help of her Wang family.
But now, she had reason to believe Chen Jie could handle this matter himself, thereby proving himself to the Wang family.
