Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062
Intimidation and bribery are common tactics used by leaders, and Wu Keming is especially adept at these methods.
Wu Keming has long seen through people like Gao Shibao. Talented yet unrecognized, he's been hitting walls in society for years; his former sharpness and boldness have been dulled, gradually assimilated by reality. So, either inducement or intimidation is the most effective approach for such a person.
Sure enough, hearing Wu Keming's words, Gao Shibao was dumbfounded. Indeed, now that the other party had put clothes on, he really had no evidence. If it blew up, given Wu Keming's tactics, dealing with him would be a piece of cake. If he really got transferred to a suburban county, he'd probably have to spend the rest of his life stuck there!
Seeing Gao Shibao's silence, Wu Keming knew his intimidation had worked. He couldn't help but smile proudly, walked over to wrap an arm around Gao Shibao's shoulder, and said: "Little Gao, the most important thing in life is knowing how to think. You're a very capable person, but you lack someone to bring you up. As long as I give you a hand, you're sure to rise up in the future. Say nothing else, at the very least you could reach my current position. But if this matter blows up, it won't affect me much, but your family would be ruined, is it worth it?"
"Enough, you don't need to waste words with him!" Gao Shibao's wife, Xie Cuizhi, had dressed, combed her hair, and walked over with a look of disdain, saying: "Gao Shibao, I'm not afraid to tell you, before being with you, I was already with Keming. Marrying you was just a facade; don't expect me to be faithful to you. Take a good look at yourself, I've slept with you for so many years, it's already a deal for you, what more do you want? Gao Shibao, don't be ungrateful, without Keming would you have such a nice house to live in? Without Keming, would you still be working at that unit? I'm telling you, play dumb about this and there will definitely be benefits for you in the future. But if you really want to make a scene, I'll immediately divorce you, the kid isn't yours anyway!"
Hearing this, Gao Shibao's expression changed dramatically, and he rushed at Xie Cuizhi, grabbing her by the collar, angrily saying: "The child…whose is the child?"
"What are you doing?" Xie Cuizhi struggled to pry Gao Shibao's hand open, but she was just a woman, how could she overpower a man?
Seeing the situation, Wu Keming immediately came over and grabbed Gao Shibao by the neck, pulling him aside. Wu Keming, in his thirties, was tall and strong, much stronger than Gao Shibao, who was no match for him at all.
Freed from Gao Shibao, Xie Cuizhi coughed a few times, glaring angrily at Gao Shibao, "You, Gao, dare to hit me? I won't let this go!"
As she spoke, Xie Cuizhi launched herself at him, clawing and hitting, leaving several bloody scratches on Gao Shibao's neck. Gao Shibao wanted to fight back but was restrained by Wu Keming, unable to move at all.
Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu, in the living room, witnessed the events in the room, but Wu Keming and Xie Cuizhi had not noticed anyone else was there.
Seeing the two attacking Gao Shibao, Ye Qing finally couldn't hold back, walked over, and said sternly: "What are you doing?"
The sudden voice startled Wu Keming and Xie Cuizhi, and they instinctively turned to look.
Seeing Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu standing by the door, both were stunned; they hadn't expected anyone else in the room. However, Xie Cuizhi was visibly frightened, while Wu Keming, initially a bit panicked, was no longer afraid as his eyes burned with desire as he looked at Huangfu Ziyu.
With her looks, Huangfu Ziyu could attract countless men's attention anywhere. Wu Keming, being quite the pervert, couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Who...who are you?" Xie Cuizhi asked trembling, finally showing fear upon seeing strangers.
Ye Qing ignored her, went over and helped Gao Shibao up, whispering: "Shibao, are you okay?"
Gao Shibao did not respond, staring blankly ahead, as if he were possessed.
"I'm asking you, who are you!" Xie Cuizhi shouted angrily.
Huangfu Ziyu turned her head and slapped Xie Cuizhi across the face.
Huangfu Ziyu was not someone to mess with; in Dongzhou, she was known to not bat an eye when killing. Regular men, if they dared look at her a second too long, might end up losing an eye. Since being with Ye Qing, she had mellowed out a lot and no longer randomly killed innocents. However, that didn't mean she didn't have a temper. Xie Cuizhi's shrew-like behavior displeased Huangfu Ziyu greatly, so she didn't hold back with that slap, sending Xie Cuizhi stumbling back several steps, sitting on the ground with blood trickling from her mouth.
Noticing this, Wu Keming immediately came over, reaching to grab Huangfu Ziyu's hand as he said: "Oh no, how can you hit someone?"
This Wu Keming completely ignored Xie Cuizhi, who was sitting on the floor, instead reaching for Huangfu Ziyu's hand, clearly taking the opportunity to cop a feel.
How could Huangfu Ziyu be caught by him? She took a slight step back, dodging Wu Keming's hand. At the same time, she kicked him in the abdomen. Wu Keming immediately flew backward more than three meters, hit the wall behind him before stopping, and slowly fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
Huangfu Ziyu used her foot because she loathed Wu Keming, not even wanting to hit him with her hand, so she used her shoe to kick him. Wu Keming was truly pitiful; he didn't gain any advantage and instead suffered a great loss. He never dreamed that a girl who looked so beautiful could have such strength!
Ye Qing didn't pay attention to the fight on this side at all. He helped Gao Shibao to sit by the table and waited for a long time before Gao Shibao finally came to his senses. Seeing Ye Qing sitting beside him, Gao Shibao's eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I initially wanted to invite you to my home, but... but..."
Gao Shibao was already choking and couldn't finish his words. No wonder, with something happening, who could remain calm?
"It's okay." Ye Qing patted Gao Shibao's shoulder, turned to look at Wu Keming and Xie Cuizhi over there, and said, "Shibao, what do you plan to do about this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Shibao immediately fell silent. Encountering such a thing, any man with a bit of spirit would surely think of divorce first. However, family is so important to him. He already doesn't have a career, and if he loses his family, what does he have left in this life?
Seeing Gao Shibao not speaking, Ye Qing could pretty much guess what he was thinking. Sighing lightly, Ye Qing said, "Shibao, I don't know if you still have feelings for this woman. But, as an old friend, I think you'd better separate from her. She's really not suitable for you!"
Gao Shibao was silent for a long while, suddenly looked up at Xie Cuizhi, and said, "Xie Cuizhi, I'm asking you again, is the child mine?"
"Nonsense, I already had a paternity test done; the child is Keming's, what the hell does it have to do with you!" Xie Cuizhi said angrily, "Wu Keming, just look at yourself, would I have children for you? No money, no power, no skills at all, do you even count as a man?"
Gao Shibao was nearly mad with anger, his eyes turned crimson, and he stood up with gritted teeth, yelling, "Xie Cuizhi, I want a divorce from you!"
"Divorce then divorce, do you think I'm scared of you!" Xie Cuizhi shouted, "Whoever doesn't get divorced is a coward's child!"
Saying this, Xie Cuizhi stood up and also helped Wu Keming. She said angrily, "Gao Shibao, don't run away, I'm going to find a lawyer to draft the divorce papers. You wait here for me, I'll move out today, and you can live here by yourself!"
Xie Cuizhi furiously helped Wu Keming out, while here, Gao Shibao watched Xie Cuizhi walk away, seeming to collapse from exhaustion onto the floor. His eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him, and even when Ye Qing sat beside him talking, he didn't respond with a word.
Ye Qing initially planned to leave after sitting for a while, but with everything that happened, he really couldn't leave now. After sitting with Gao Shibao for a while, the door suddenly opened, and Xie Cuizhi came rushing in with a few people.
Xie Cuizhi entered the room and pointed at Huangfu Ziyu, angrily saying, "Brother, it was her who beat me!"
A few men followed behind and their eyes lit up when they saw Huangfu Ziyu. The one at the front reached out to grab Huangfu Ziyu directly, swearing, "Bitch, you dare hit my sister, I..."
Before he could finish his words, his neck was grabbed, and then his whole body was lifted and thrown heavily against the wall in the distance. Throughout the process, he didn't even have a chance to resist and was thrown against the wall, almost having all his internal organs shattered and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, unable to stop the turbulent flow of blood.
The one who acted was Ye Qing, who already had a ball of fire in his heart, and when faced with these people who insulted Huangfu Ziyu, it was the perfect chance to unleash it.
Ye Qing wasn't polite at all; he charged into the crowd and with just a few punches and kicks, he knocked down all the people Xie Cuizhi brought. These people seemed burly, but in front of Ye Qing, they didn't have a chance to fight back and were all knocked down by Ye Qing.
Xie Cuizhi had never seen anything before and was stunned on the side, trembling with fear. When Ye Qing looked at her, she almost collapsed to the ground.
Ye Qing didn't hit her, only turned to look at the few people from before and said in a deep voice, "I'm not someone who likes to talk nonsense. Listen to me clearly. Gao Shibao is my friend, my brother. If you dare to cause him trouble, next time, I'll break your arms and legs and let you spend the rest of your lives in a wheelchair!"
These people, all beaten by Ye Qing to the point of internal bleeding, certainly didn't dare to doubt his words. How could they have ever seen someone as fierce as Ye Qing?
