The entrance to Chen's Financial Group was dead silent. What was happening now was simply too surreal, almost unimaginable! What in the world was going on!? Why was this happening!? Chen Qingzhu's words were utterly incredible!

Everyone looked at Qin Heng with disbelief. Who exactly was this kid, and why did Chairman Chen actually listen to him!? This was the Family Head of the Chens! The CEO of Chen's Financial Group, controlling a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions! And yet, she was taking orders from what appeared to be a destitute teenager, even willing to send a senior executive to his death!?

How was that possible! That's impossible! It defied all logic; it was simply not possible!

"Chen, Chairman Chen, what do you mean by this??" Luo Gao looked at Chen Qingzhu in disbelief, his eyes bloodshot with fury as he roared, "Why should I let him kill me! Why! You tell me why!"

Luo Gao was now utterly enraged, having lost all sense of reason and caring for nothing at all. Even if I'm facing Chen Qingzhu, I no longer care, especially since she just ordered my death! What is there left to care about!?

"Because he is someone you cannot afford to provoke," Chen Qingzhu said calmly, her gaze sweeping around as she continued serenely, "You have no idea what kind of a major figure President Qin is! In President Qin's eyes, you are all but ants, the most insignificant ants. He could crush you with a single finger, and you wouldn't have the slightest ability to resist!!"

"What the hell! Why!? Just because he can fight? Do we have to be afraid of him just because he can fight!?"

"That kid was so heavy-handed just now; that's already intentional assault! Call the police! Everybody, call the police!!"

"Chairman Chen! You're aiding a tyrant, acting as his accomplice!!"

The surrounding crowd grew agitated, even starting to yell and criticize Chen Qingzhu's actions. After all, Chen Qingzhu was still very young. Having become the leader of Chen's Financial Group and the Family Head of the Chens in her twenties, she knew many wouldn't accept her authority and often faced criticism. Now, it all erupted.

"Chairman Chen, now you see the will of the people," Luo Gao said with a sneer, listening to the murmurs of the crowd as he looked at Chen Qingzhu with a triumphant expression. "If you persist in your ways, the board can definitely restrict your authority! This would deliver a huge blow to your prestige in the company! The group's stock price might also suffer severe fluctuations, all of which you cannot afford! Chairman Chen, I advise you to think carefully before you speak!"

Luo Gao was now brimming with confidence. When Chen Qingzhu had first appeared, he was still wary of her out of habit. But now, with at least thirty or forty people backing him, opposing and even criticizing her actions, Luo Gao believed that even if Chen Qingzhu had the nerve, she absolutely wouldn't dare to lose her temper in this situation. Forbearance! Chen Qingzhu can only choose forbearance! The law doesn't punish the masses; with enough people, one can do whatever they want!

A smile of satisfaction appeared on Luo Gao's face, a smile from the bottom of his heart. He looked at Chen Qingzhu with the feigned gravity of a concerned elder, pointed at Qin Heng, and said, "Chairman Chen, I advise you to cut ties with that ignorant good-for-nothing right now. I'm telling you this for your own good. You're still too young, with too little experience. You don't see a lot of things clearly and are prone to making costly mistakes. A guy like him, who resorts to violence at the slightest disagreement, will bring you nothing but trouble!! But rest assured, after this kid leaves, I'll apply to mobilize the Chens' forces to throw this arrogant brat into the Huangpu River to feed the fish—to improve their diet a bit!!"

He adopted a lofty, condescending posture, as if he were an elder lecturing Chen Qingzhu.

"You!" Chen Qingzhu pointed at him, her face turning livid with anger.

BOOM!

Just then, a loud bang echoed. Qin Heng stretched out a hand, curled a single finger, then flicked lightly. The air instantly ruptured! It exploded violently, like a bomb!

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Billowing shockwaves surged like a raging wind! In an instant, they engulfed Luo Gao completely, flinging him backward. He flew horizontally for over two hundred meters before crashing into a wall!

BANG!!

A muffled impact resounded. The wall trembled slightly, and dust and debris billowed up from the ground.

Luo Gao was embedded in the wall, his limbs pulverized by the violent impact, countless fragments of broken bone piercing through his flesh. It was an incredibly gruesome sight! Utterly horrifying and bloody!

"AHHHH!!" Despite the excruciating pain, Luo Gao hadn't lost consciousness. He screamed frantically, his facial features contorted, his expression entirely distorted.

Why!? Why did he dare to make a move!? Wasn't Chen Qingzhu supposed to endure this, to stop him? Why did this happen!? Luo Gao roared inwardly, shocked to his core, yet he couldn't even utter a single question. The severe pain from his grievous injuries had devoured all his senses. His expression was twisted and numb, his limbs pulverized and turned to pulp—he clearly couldn't speak a word.

HISS!

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, looking at Qin Heng with faces full of shock and disbelief. With just the flick of a finger, he inflicted such grievous injuries on a man! What kind of strength was that!? Inhuman! Truly inhuman! Too terrifying! Frighteningly so!

Just as they were reeling from the shock, Qin Heng's finger moved again!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

He flicked out a few streaks of force, which then split apart and struck the faces of those who had mocked him earlier.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

A succession of dull impacts followed, and the dozen or so people immediately collapsed, as if stones had smashed into their faces. Their noses caved in, blood flowed freely, all their teeth were knocked out, jaws were dislocated, and a gory mess of blood and broken teeth poured from their mouths.

"AHHH!" Screams echoed incessantly. Their senses were overwhelmed by intense pain as they curled up on the ground, trembling and writhing in utter agony.

The Immortal Emperor will not be insulted! To mock the Xuantian Immortal Emperor was to invite retribution. Qin Heng hadn't killed them, showing mercy only because they were mere mortals. If these people had been Martial Artists, they would surely be beyond dead by now.

The rest of those present watched Qin Heng with immense fear, while also feeling incredibly relieved. Thank goodness I didn't speak out of turn earlier, or I'd be on the ground with them now!

"President Qin has been merciful to spare you. Now get down on your knees and give thanks!" Chen Qingzhu snorted coldly. "Then get out! Chen's Financial Group doesn't need you!!"

Right there and then, she fired those who had disrespected Qin Heng, without the slightest hesitation.

BRRRING!

Just then, Chen Qingzhu's phone suddenly rang. She answered the call.

A man's voice came through the phone, "Chen Qingzhu, I advise you to come to the 'Thousand Autumn Conference Room' on the 100th floor of the group's building immediately. Otherwise, the board of directors has the right to directly revoke your chairmanship. Then, I will take over. You have ten minutes. If you don't arrive in ten minutes, you will be considered to have voluntarily given up! Your previous recklessness caused a loss of five billion; this is the punishment you deserve!"

After finishing, the man hung up the phone.

Qin Heng, standing nearby, had naturally heard everything loud and clear. His eyes narrowed slightly, glinting with a lethal light, as he said, "Who is this person? I personally appointed the Family Head of the Chens, and now someone wants to usurp the position?"

"Chen Ximing's youngest brother, Chen Xicheng!" Chen Qingzhu said seriously. "He just returned from America not long ago and wasn't aware of the recent changes within the Chens."

"Then let's go," Qin Heng said indifferently. "To kill him."
