**Slap!**
A crisp, resounding slap echoed. Mo Xing was sent sprawling to the floor by Hu Yuanyuan’s strike, five clear finger marks visible on her face.
“Hu Yuanyuan, you bitch, you actually hit me?” Mo Xing took a long moment to react, staring at Hu Yuanyuan in disbelief. She never imagined Hu Yuanyuan would dare strike her now.
“I warned you.” Hu Yuanyuan said coldly. This was her first time hitting someone, and her heart raced with unease.
“You will pay for this.” Mo Xing scrambled up in fury, lunging at Hu Yuanyuan like a shrew. “You bitch, I kindly introduced you to Young Master Han, and you are this ungrateful? I will show you the consequences of offending me.”
Mo Xing clawed wildly, her earlier elegant image gone.
“Court death.” Hu Yuanyuan huffed, swinging another slap.
“Think you can hit me? Not so ea—” Mo Xing sneered, trying to dodge, but before she finished, Hu Yuanyuan’s palm struck her face.
**Slap!**
The slap rang out louder. Hu Yuanyuan put more force this time. Mo Xing flew back.
**Bang!**
She crashed onto the sofa, body aching, unable to rise.
“How is this possible?” Mo Xing stared in disbelief. She never expected Hu Yuanyuan to be so ruthless and strong. Was this the Hu Yuanyuan she knew?
Hu Yuanyuan ignored her. Mo Xing was a minor player. The real threat was Han Wei.
**Clap, clap, clap!**
Han Wei applauded. “President Hu is indeed President Hu. Not only a master in business, turning clouds with a flip of the hand, but with such impressive skills.”
Hu Yuanyuan stared coldly.
“But the more outstanding you are, President Hu, the more interested I become. In Jinling, I heard you were a heroine unmatched by men, but thought it legend. If I knew you surpassed the tales, I would have come to Tianhai to pursue you sooner.”
Han Wei’s gaze roamed her body, eyes gleaming. “But now, it is not too late. I believe President Hu will make the right choice.”
“Han Wei, do you think it possible?” Hu Yuanyuan sneered.
“President Hu, as head of Fengyuan Group, saying such childish words before me—do you not find it laughable? What is possible? In my view, nothing is impossible.” Han Wei smiled.
“Han Wei, do you know what you are doing?” Hu Yuanyuan watched him coldly. His calm face, as if everything was under control, unsettled her. Luring her here with Mo Xing meant preparation. Dealing with him would not be easy.
“Of course I know.” Han Wei’s gaze fixed on her chest, the flawless skin at her collar. He smiled. “President Hu, Fengyuan Group has billions in loans from our Minfeng Bank.”
“So what? Threatening me with that?” Hu Yuanyuan sneered. In the past with Xiangfeng Investments, billions might trouble her, but now Fengyuan Group was different. Even ten times more was solvable. And Tianhai had other banks besides Minfeng.
“No, no, no. How could I threaten President Hu? With your wealth, billions are trivial.” Han Wei shook his head.
“Then what do you mean?” Hu Yuanyuan asked coldly.
“I mean President Hu need not repay this loan.” Han Wei smiled faintly.
Hu Yuanyuan’s pupils contracted. “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?”
Han Wei laughed. “Simple. These billions are my fee to keep you. If President Hu feels it insufficient, name your price. I, Han Wei, lack everything but money.”
Hu Yuanyuan’s face darkened. “Han Wei, you court death.”
“Court death?” Han Wei smiled at her. “I do not know if I court death, but I guarantee you will be very happy.”
Hu Yuanyuan watched coldly, hesitating to act. She had only cultivated the Snow Jade Art, no martial techniques. She was unsure if she could take Han Wei, especially if he had men outside.
“Hu Yuanyuan, oh Hu Yuanyuan, who made you so beautiful? Who made you Li Feng’s woman? If not, I would not treat you this way today.” Han Wei approached as he spoke.
“Han Wei, Li Feng will not let you go for this.” Hu Yuanyuan stalled, hoping Li Feng arrived soon. He could handle Han Wei easily.
“Li Feng?” Coldness flashed in Han Wei’s eyes. He sneered. “Hu Yuanyuan, do you think Li Feng can save you? I had Mo Xing bring you here with many preparations. Even if he wants to find you, it will not be easy. By the time he does, you will be my woman. Haha.”
Han Wei’s tone dripped triumph. He looked at her like a lamb for slaughter.
“Moreover, I want to use you to humiliate Li Feng. Humph, that waste dared treat me so earlier. How could I spare him? You are my first step in shaming him. He is so arrogant. I will play his woman. I wonder what his reaction will be knowing I, Han Wei, had you. Haha.”
Han Wei laughed loudly, staring at her body. “Not only that, I will post photos, videos of playing you online. Let the world see Li Feng’s woman. Will he go mad?”
Seeing her ashen face, Han Wei continued. “I think wherever Li Feng goes then, people will point and whisper.”
“Han Wei, you court death.” Hu Yuanyuan said coldly. She had not expected such vicious intent.
“I court death? Haha. Even if I do, so what? Hu Yuanyuan, such a high-class white-collar, yet your curses are just ‘court death.’ Save your strength. You will need it to moan later.”
Han Wei sneered. “Besides, can Li Feng save you now? That waste offended Miss Zhu. He courts death. No one offends Miss Zhu and lives. Perhaps she has already acted against him.”
Hu Yuanyuan sneered inwardly. Was Zhu Yuanyang Li Feng’s match? Impossible. She knew Li Feng best. If he could not handle Zhu Yuanyang, why provoke her earlier?
“You do not believe me?” Han Wei grew annoyed at her impervious look. He sneered. “Hu Yuanyuan, you are the Hu family eldest miss. The Hu family is not first-rate, perhaps unaware of Miss Zhu’s power. But let me tell you, once a first-rate family’s young master offended Miss Zhu and was crippled. His family sought revenge, but nearly became second-rate. They apologised in person for Miss Zhu to spare them. Li Feng? Though the Li family young master of the eight top families, he is a waste, arrogant waste. Will the Li family act for him against Miss Zhu? Impossible.”
“Is that so?” Hu Yuanyuan sneered. Li Feng a waste? Among those who knew him now, who dared call him that? Han Wei and Zhu Yuanyang still saw the old Li Feng.
“Of course. Miss Zhu dealing with Li Feng is not for us to discuss. Now, Hu Yuanyuan, let us do our thing.” Han Wei smiled, reaching for her.
“Get lost.” Hu Yuanyuan’s gaze chilled, slapping his hand.
“Ah…”
Her strike hit Han Wei’s wrist, burning pain like hot iron, making him cry out.
“How is this possible?”
Han Wei stared in disbelief. How could Hu Yuanyuan be so strong? She was a woman, a beautiful one. Women were soft and delicate. How such power?
Unconvinced, Han Wei sneered and lunged again. He refused to believe he could not handle one woman.
“Get lost.” The earlier strike boosted Hu Yuanyuan’s confidence. Seeing him charge, she punched his chest.
**Bang!**
Her fist connected. Han Wei flew back, crashing to the floor.
His bones felt shattered.
Hu Yuanyuan had not expected him so weak. No time to think. She bolted for the door. Escape was priority.
Han Wei rose, seeing her run. He huffed. “Hu Yuanyuan, nice skills, but think I am unprepared? Men, stop her.”
