Hu Quan's angry expression suddenly froze.

Wang Dahai's reaction was beyond his expectations.

He had taken the initiative to call him over today, relying on the fact that He Wen had been beaten.

Therefore, the initiative was in his hands.

If Wu Qiangwei insisted on dwelling on last night's incident, he would have let He Wen call the police.

But he had never anticipated that Wang Dahai would not care at all.

Not only did he not care, but he also used the threat of calling the police as his leverage.

The one with nothing to lose has no fear of those with much to lose.

Now, Wang Dahai was the one with nothing to lose.

In this world, there are two kinds of people you should never provoke.

One is those who hold high power.

The other is those from the lower echelons of society with nothing to lose.

Clearly, Wang Dahai was not from the lower echelons.

Yet, he was alone in the world, without father or mother.

As for He Wen, his family was affluent, both parents had established positions, and his sister had married well.

Hu Quan's family background was similarly decent.

If Wang Dahai really decided to fight them tooth and nail, they would be the ones to lose.

But he was not sure if Wang Dahai was merely bluffing.

Narrowing his eyebrows, Hu Quan looked toward Wu Qiangwei, "Director Wu, what does your secretary mean by this?"

"I spent a long time last night convincing He Wen not to call the police, his attitude now makes things difficult for me."

Director Wu, as if not hearing, picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip.

She was very angry, very frustrated.

Trapped in a scheme, she had almost lost her chastity.

Now, to be threatened to treat this matter lightly was even more exasperating.

But anger and frustration were useless; the situation was more powerful than her, leaving her no choice but to endure.

However, she had never expected that in such a situation, Wang Dahai could still turn the tables.

Regaining the initiative into his hands.

It seemed like he was recklessly throwing everything away, yet it was a move that created a sliver of opportunity.

'Difficult to handle?'

Wang Dahai chuckled, stood up again, and walked toward Hu Quan.

Hu Quan, somewhat defensively, got up and kept backing away, not daring to let him get close.

But Wang Dahai swiftly caught up in a few strides and grabbed his collar, delivering several sharp slaps.

The slaps sent stars dancing before his eyes.

Although Hu Quan kept fit, his strength and physique were far inferior to Wang Dahai's.

Plus, Wang Dahai had the upper hand from the start, delivering slaps before he could even react.

After a few slaps, Wang Dahai casually let go.

He collapsed on the floor, unable to get up for a long while.

"You think I can't touch you just because I have no evidence about last night?"

"I have the surveillance video of you drugging Director Wu and taking her into the room."

"These pieces of evidence might not be enough to jail you, but they're certainly enough to ruin your career in this industry."

Wang Dahai looked down at him and said, "Also, I've mentioned it. I'm a man with nothing to lose. Dragging you two down with me is well worth it."

He slowly squatted down, looking at Hu Quan, who had regained his composure, his face full of rage yet not daring to explode, and said, "You might not be scared, but you have a wife and kids, don't you?"

"It just so happens I'm asking Director Wu for a few days off. I'll have nothing better to do than camp out at your doorstep, taking your kid to and from school every day. Shouldn't Mr. Hu pay me a salary for this?"

His words struck precisely at Hu Quan's weakest spot.

Wang Dahai's smile looked devilish in his eyes.

He took a few deep breaths but did not panic.

He got up from the ground, adjusted his collar and hair, and sat back down.

"Mr. Wang." He squeezed out a smile, showing no signs of anger.

Wang Dahai was somewhat surprised; this guy's ability to psychologically adjust was truly remarkable.

"You might have misunderstood something about last night."

"Misunderstood?"

"Yes, misunderstood."

Hu Quan said, "Last night, Director Wu was tired, so I took her to the room to rest. As for what happened afterwards, I'm not sure."

"As for the misunderstanding with He Wen, it was also a misunderstanding."

He glanced at He Wen, who clenched his teeth in anger, but upon seeing his expression, still said, "It was a misunderstanding!"

"Mr. Wang didn't hit me. The injury on my face was from my own careless fall."

Wang Dahai didn't rush to speak.

Hu Quan was now taking the initiative to concede, mainly aiming to gloss over the incident from last night.

At the same time, he was indeed scared.

Scared that Wang Dahai might impulsively do something dangerous to his family.

After a moment of contemplation, Wang Dahai looked toward Wu Qiangwei.

Wu Qiangwei, sipping her tea, said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good that it's clarified."

She stood up and said, "Let's go."

Wang Dahai smiled at them both and got up to leave.

After coming out of the clubhouse and getting into the car, Wang Dahai asked, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to have him leave the company?"

Wu Qiangwei looked at him as if he were an idiot, about to speak, but then held back.

She pondered for a few seconds, reorganized her words, and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "He is one of the original founders of the company. His departure now would not be good for the company. Moreover, such a high-level personnel change isn't something I can decide with just a word."

Wang Dahai responded with an "Oh," not understanding the company's structure issues but roughly grasping her point.

"Where to?"

Where to...

Wu Qiangwei didn't know where to go.

She wasn't in a good mood right now.

Even though she had the upper hand in the recent meeting, she couldn't feel happy at all.

This trip to Lingcheng was meant for investing in a company here.

She thought it would be a simple matter.

But she hadn't expected such an incident to occur.

"Anywhere is fine."

Seeing her upset mood, Wang Dahai said, "Let's eat something first. How about hot pot?"

"It's too strong-flavored, no."

"Barbecue?"

"I'm on a diet."

"Western food?"

"It's not tasty."

"..." Wang Dahai's mouth twitched, finding this woman really hard to please.

"If you don't eat this or that, then don't eat. Let's go home. I'll make you noodles."

"I don't eat noodles."

"..."

He drove to the market and bought a bunch of vegetables.

Then they went to the supermarket, bought lots of snacks and drinks, and after returning, filled the fridge.

As Wang Dahai was chopping vegetables, she suddenly ran in.

"What are you doing in here?"

"I'll do it."

"You?" Wang Dahai looked skeptical. "Can you cook?"

"No."

She was boldly assertive despite not knowing how.

"I can learn." Wu Qiangwei said. "Teach me."

Wang Dahai stopped what he was doing and looked at her. "You're a company executive. Why bother learning to cook? Even if you learn, will you have time to cook usually? Alright, don't get in the way, go out."

Wu Qiangwei said, "Teach me, I'll cook at home myself. After what happened last night, I'm kind of scared to eat out."

Wang Dahai paused, looked at her again, and saw deep exhaustion in her eyes, and a trace of fear.

No matter how wealthy she was, fundamentally, she was just a woman.

A woman who came to Lingcheng alone to invest, away from her husband.

He seemed to suddenly understand why Hu Quan dared to attack her.

A wealthy, good-looking woman, alone and far from home, in Lingcheng.

This kind of woman, in some people's eyes, was a piece of ripe fruit.

"Fine," Wang Dahai said. "I'll teach you how to make braised pork."

"I'm dieting."

"..."

Wang Dahai really wanted to slap that piece of pork belly on her face!
