The security guard's eyes gleamed with cruelty and violence, this blow was meant to kill her!
Xia Mian scoffed internally, reversed her grip and held the guard's wrist, applying pressure. The guard winced in pain, released the baton, and Xia Mian seamlessly took it, swinging it at the guard's abdomen.
As she swung the baton, she also turned on the switch.
The guard instantly convulsed all over, foaming at the mouth, falling to the ground, unable to get up.
Xia Mian, holding the baton, strode boldly into the elevator.
The receptionist nearby was scared stiff, only managing to shakily call Xia Jianguo after seeing Xia Mian enter the elevator.
Receiving the call, Xia Jianguo's face showed no trace of panic.
This wretch Xia Mian, coaxing Song Juan into divorcing him, he'd long wanted to kill her. Now she's come to him, perfect for eliminating her alongside Song Juan!
With this thought, Xia Jianguo stood up.
Song Juan and his people had been negotiating for a while, in line with his plan, his people should be ready to act.
Now, if he heads over, he should be able to act as an eyewitness for his people.
Thinking this, Xia Jianguo's lips curled into a sinister smile.
He got up, left the office, and headed towards the conference room.
Song Juan wants to seize power?
Ha! Not that easy, he had been controlling the Song Group for many years and had infiltrated his people into every corner of the company, Song Juan wanting to take back the Song Group was simply ridiculous!
Just as Xia Jianguo left his office, the elevator at the end of the hallway opened, and Xia Mian stepped out.
Stepping out of the elevator, she immediately saw Xia Jianguo walking ahead.
Xia Mian said nothing, merely followed quietly behind Xia Jianguo.
When Xia Jianguo reached the conference room door, he halted.
Inside the conference room, Song Juan's dissatisfied questioning voice rang out, "Uncle Li, you've been with my father since the company started, can you honestly say that our Song Family has ever mistreated you? Are you not ashamed of what you've done?"
Song Juan truly hadn't expected this. She had thought, with old employees from her father's time in the company, it wouldn't be difficult to regain control. But reality had given her a harsh wake-up call.
Old Li had already pledged allegiance to Xia Jianguo...
"Madam, what's the point in saying all this? New boss, new rules, now it's President Xia who calls the shots at Song Group, not you Song!" Old Li grinned with two rows of yellow teeth, smiling obscenely and cunningly.
Back then, he wanted his son to marry Song Juan, but how did Song Juan react?
She hinted both openly and covertly that his son wasn't good enough for her! Bah! Does she think she's made of gold?
Now she knows to come begging to him? Too late!
A flash of vengeful malice flickered in Old Li's eyes, "Madam, let me give you some advice, go home humbly, apologize to President Xia, maybe he'll grant you a meal."
Song Juan was so angered by Old Li's words that she shivered uncontrollably.
The Song Group belongs to the Song family!
Since when does she need a Xia to grant her a meal?
Song Juan's face turned pale, furious beyond words, knowing it was useless to argue, she turned to leave.
But Old Li grabbed her hand, "Madam, don't leave just yet!"
Song Juan hadn't expected Old Li to be so brazen, her face changed instantly, she shook her hand, "Let go!"
Old Li showed a lecherous expression, "Madam, if President Xia won't cherish you, I will!"
Saying this, Old Li reached out to touch Song Juan, causing her to lose her color and scream sharply.
Old Li clamped a hand over her mouth, dragging her towards the window.
Song Juan was frantic and angry, in a panic, she bit down on Old Li's hand.
Old Li, in pain and humiliation, kicked her hard in the abdomen.
The kick was strong, making Song Juan fly towards the window.
A sinister smile flashed in Old Li's eyes, watching Song Juan's body getting closer to the window.
It's thirteen floors up, if Song Juan falls, there's no doubt she'd die!
Completing Xia Jianguo's task would earn him a hefty reward, ensuring a comfortable life for at least three generations.
As Old Li was calculating in his mind, the office door was suddenly kicked open from outside.
A figure darted in like lightning, rushing to Song Juan, pulling her away from the window.
Song Juan narrowly escaped, heart pounding, face deathly pale without a trace of color, shaking like a leaf in the wind.
Xia Mian held her gently, whispering comfort, "Mom, it's me, it's okay, it's okay."
Xia Mian's words seemed to have a calming effect, as Song Juan gradually settled down.
After soothing Song Juan in a chair, Xia Mian turned to Old Li and gave him a slap.
The slap made Old Li's ears ring, in a rage, he picked up a nearby stool intending to smash it over Xia Mian, but Xia Mian was faster, swinging her baton heavily onto Old Li's abdomen.
Old Li instantly collapsed, unable to get up for a while.
Xia Mian glanced down at the ground at Old Li, like a dead dog; this murderer of her mother in her past life, yet Xia Jianguo easily forgave him!
Xia Jianguo, what right does he have to forgive anyone on mother's behalf?!
"Li Mu, your actions just now were attempted murder." Xia Mian's voice was low, with a hint of smoldering anger.
If she had been a second later, she and Song Juan would have been separated by death once again!
"You ungrateful daughter, spouting nonsense!" Xia Jianguo came in from outside, disheveled.
Just now, Xia Mian had rushed into the conference room, kicking him hard on his backside, sending him flying he could hardly stand, crawling to get in.
Old Li was doing his bidding, though the task had failed, he couldn't let Old Li face charges just like that.
"Do I need to report to you what I say? Who do you think you are?" Xia Mian lifted her gaze, coolly sweeping her eyes over Xia Jianguo.
"I am your father!" Xia Jianguo barked, frustrated, "I raised you for eighteen years!"
"I am your father! The Song family raised you for eighteen years!" Xia Mian countered.
Xia Jianguo was so angry he saw stars.
What sin had he committed to raising such a rebellious daughter!
"Song Juan, see what kind of devil you've raised! She's a troublemaker, determined to tear our family apart!" Xia Jianguo, unable to confront Xia Mian, turned his fire to the shell-shocked Song Juan.
"It's you who's the devil!" Song Juan stared fiercely at Xia Jianguo, "You've lived off the Song family, yet now you want to dig the Song family's corner!"
Being scolded right into his face, Xia Jianguo felt thoroughly upset.
Yet since today's plan to kill Song Juan hadn't succeeded, he'd have to swallow this bitterness.
"Juan'er, let's talk about this at home, this is the company, not a place for your antics!" Xia Jianguo softened his tone.
Song Juan said nothing, looking towards Xia Mian.
Now things had reached this point, she knew too well that seizing power wouldn't be easy.
