"You dare hit me, believe it or not, I'll call the police right now, get you thrown in jail, get you fired from Xu Corporation!"
Lv Zhengliang clutched his groin, trembling. When had he ever suffered such a humiliation? Instinctively, he pointed at Ning Fan, trying to intimidate him.
But this threat proved utterly futile, for not only did Ning Fan not stop, he hit even harder!
A slap, crisp as thunder!
Ning Fan took a deep breath, forcibly repressing the urge to kill Lv Zhengliang on the spot.
After all, this was Zhonghai City, and he had long since withdrawn from the Jianghu life, not wishing to resolve issues with violence.
But a necessary punishment was indispensable!
"This slap is for Lan Kexin. Did you or did you not coerce her?"
Ning Fan asked coldly.
Lv Zhengliang clutched his cheek, saying in agony, "I really didn't coerce her, it was all consensual. She wanted to be promoted from HR manager to deputy HR director,
so she approached me, hoping to use my connections at the higher levels of Xu Corporation to smooth things over for her!"
Lv Zhengliang claimed earnestly, as if Lan Kexin truly was the type of woman who would trade her body for a position.
Another slap, resoundingly clear.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a trace of anger as he looked at Lv Zhengliang and sneered, "So what you're saying is, you were forced into this, huh? I do not believe for a second that it was Lan Kexin who took your clothes off."
Lv Zhengliang was about to make another excuse when Ning Fan backhanded him with another slap and shouted, "Shut your mouth!"
That finally quietened him down.
"Now, let's talk about how to solve this matter. Should I report it to President Xu and let her decide, or should I just call the police and let them determine how many years you'll get?"
Ning Fan's eyes twinkled with a cold light as he spoke in a deep voice.
"No, please, don't do this, Ning Fan, I beg you. If this gets out, my reputation will be destroyed, and I won't be able to face anyone for the rest of my life. I'll give you money, any amount, just let me go!"
Lv Zhengliang said with a face full of terror.
Ning Fan pressed on. Even though he hadn't laid a finger on Lan Kexin, catching Lv Zhengliang naked was too disadvantageous for Lv Zhengliang at this moment.
But he was not about to simply submit to Ning Fan, resign to bad luck, and stay trapped by Ning Fan in this room. So he agreed to pay to rid himself of this disaster, but in his heart, he was already harboring a grudge against Ning Fan, plotting retaliation.
"Heh, want to pay off your disaster, eh? I'll accommodate you, ten million. If you can come up with that, I'll act as if I know nothing. If you can't, then we proceed as we must!"
Lv Zhengliang raised his voice in surprise, looking at Ning Fan: "You're asking for ten million, isn't that too much? Where am I supposed to find that kind of money for you!"
Ning Fan quietly watched Lv Zhengliang, saying lightly, "You have 60 seconds left. After this minute, even if you want to pay to get out of this, I won't be interested anymore!"
Lv Zhengliang grimaced, saying helplessly, "Ten million is really too much. My annual dividends from Xu Corporation are only a few million,
you're asking for several years of my dividends in one go, I can't produce that much!"
Ning Fan sneered, "Complaining? That counts toward your time too. You have forty seconds left!"
"Alright, I'll pay, I'll pay—ten million it is!"
Lv Zhengliang, enduring a pain akin to slicing his own flesh, raised his hand and said loudly.
There was no other way, compared to his own reputation, ten million was a lot but still manageable, especially since his shrewish wife was not easy to deal with,
If she had found out about this, she might have actually flayed Lv Zhengliang alive.
Looking at the transfer notification on his phone, Ning Fan nodded in satisfaction, then walked straight to Lan Kexin, who was lying on the bed, and covered her body with a quilt, thankfully he arrived in time, he hadn't touched Lan Kexin yet.
Then he turned around, sneering as he looked at Lv Zhengliang.
Lv Zhengliang spoke with a frightened tremor in his voice.
He had an ominous premonition.
"Leave now? Don't be in such a hurry, let's play a little game before you go."
A chilly glint flashed in Ning Fan's eyes as he slapped Lv Zhengliang across the face.
This time he didn't hold back, knocking Lv Zhengliang out cold.
Lv Zhengliang, unconscious, was now at the mercy of Ning Fan, who quickly bound him tightly with curtain sashes.
Then he placed a large basin of alcohol between Lv Zhengliang's legs,
and planned on setting it on fire... the sensation would be excruciating…
After setting everything up, Ning Fan smiled slightly, picked Lan Kexin up in his arms, and walked out of the hotel room.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten the most important thing.
He first placed a DVD player in front of Lv Zhengliang and turned the volume all the way up. It was playing a clip, guessing by the sound when this guy wakes up, he wouldn't know what to think.
Then Ning Fan found Lv Zhengliang's phone, scrolled through his contacts, and found his wife's number.
"Hello, who is this?"
The voice on the other end was tepid but sounded obviously older.
Ning Fan barely smiled, feigned a fierce demeanor, and yelled, "You must be Lv Zhengliang's wife!"
Lv Zhengliang's wife was startled, nodding repeatedly, and said, "Yes, it's me, what do you need, please!"
"What do I need? This guy tried to molest my wife. If I hadn't arrived just in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I'm giving you half an hour to get here, or I will expose this to the media and then call the police!"
Ning Fan said harshly.
"Don't call the police, don't expose this, please don't do that, my Zhengliang is a prominent figure, everything is negotiable, just tell me where Zhengliang is now, I'll come right away!"
After giving her the hotel's address and room number, Ning Fan took one last satisfied look at his arrangement, nodded in approval, turned, and left, not forgetting to "thoughtfully" close the door behind him.
About half an hour later, Lv Zhengliang's wife, along with a few relatives looking furious, stormed over. She wasn't foolish — had she come alone, who knows if she might have been extorted.
Just as she was smug about her own wisdom, a cousin pointed towards a door on the left and loudly said, "Sis, this is the place!"
Lv Zhengliang's wife's eyes flashed with ferocity as she began pounding on the door.
However, against all expectations, the door swung open, and the scene inside would haunt her for life!
