Wang Dahai felt a surge of nameless anger within him.

The family of Luo Qin's cousin-in-law was shameless to the extreme.

They were actually coveting a widow's house.

This had probably been going on for several years.

He was not clear about Luo Qin's specific job, but since she could raise her daughter alone to adulthood and make a living in Lingcheng, she must have a decent job.

Moreover, she was exceptionally beautiful, and although she was already in her thirties, she looked very young due to good maintenance.

She probably didn't consider remarrying because of her daughter.

Otherwise, with her qualifications, even if it were a second marriage, she wouldn't have trouble finding someone.

Her cousin-in-law's family, on the other hand, really had the audacity to covet.

Thinking this, Wang Dahai suddenly threw off the blankets and jumped out of bed.

"Dahai, where are you going?"

"To teach this bastard a lesson."

"Don't…"

Seeing that Wang Dahai had already rushed out, she hurriedly jumped out of bed and followed, quickly hugging him tightly, "Dahai, don't."

"Mrs. Qin, avoiding people like this is useless; do you want to be harassed by him forever?"

"I…"

"You go to the room. Leave the rest to me."

He had experience dealing with this kind of trash.

Back in the countryside, he had also been bullied by such people.

He had understood a principle from a very young age.

Good people are bullied!

To not be bullied, one must resort to violence.

"Dahai, calm down."

Luo Qin clung to him tightly, "This guy is a scoundrel, even if you beat him up it's useless. I've hit him before, but he immediately called his parents over, and his whole family sat at my doorstep making a scene."

Wang Dahai frowned.

"Dahai, don't bother with him. He must have been drunk to come here, just wait and he will leave on his own."

Wang Dahai pondered for a moment and hummed agreement.

Violence indeed could solve the immediate problem.

But, the aftermath would be troublesome.

To completely solve it once and for all required a different approach.

Returning to the room, the two lay down.

Luo Qin was no longer as scared, but Wang Dahai thought she was shy, so he took the initiative to hold her in his arms.

Luo Qin's body stiffened, and her heart raced.

She felt Wang Dahai's body pressing against her stomach.

It had been over a decade since she had last been intimate with a man, and she could barely handle such contact.

Her body reacted strongly, and her thighs unconsciously rubbed together.

Wang Dahai's body also reacted strongly, but he had no other thoughts.

"Mrs. Qin, try to sleep."

"Mhm."

How could Luo Qin sleep?

That thing against her stirred up turmoil in her heart, causing her thoughts to drift.

It made her body twist and turn.

And her movements made Wang Dahai quite uncomfortable too.

"Dahai," she called softly.

"Mrs. Qin, what's wrong?"

"Are you really uncomfortable?"

She reached out with her little hand and gently poked it.

"Not too bad," Wang Dahai shifted his waist back slightly.

Luo Qin said, "If you're feeling uncomfortable, I…I can help you."

Wang Dahai's mind went blank.

Seeing him not react for a long time, Luo Qin laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking he was repulsed by her.

"This…this isn't right."

"Mhm."

Luo Qin didn't speak further, filled with disappointment.

Wang Dahai was still waiting for her response.

But she remained silent.

Wang Dahai was a bit dumbfounded, yet he could only endure in silence.

Both gradually felt sleepy and drifted off.

The next morning.

Wang Dahai had set the alarm since he still had to go to work.

And it would take another half an hour from this point.

He turned off the alarm, looked down, and Luo Qin was still deep asleep, lying in his arms.

Wang Dahai moved slowly out of bed, came into the living room, and put on the clothes that had dried overnight.

After a quick wash, he left.

When he opened the door, he saw no one around.

It seemed the troublemaker had already left.

But this issue definitely needed to be resolved, otherwise, it would happen again.

Being bothered like this every now and then was too much for anyone.

There were actually quite a few ways to solve this problem.

The simplest was to sell the house and move somewhere else.

But Luo Qin hadn't sold it so far, which clearly showed she didn't have that intention.

Arriving downstairs at Wu Qiangwei's place, it was 8:30 AM, and she came down.

She looked in better spirits than last night.

But she was still silent, her brows slightly furrowed, as if pondering some complex issue of the century.

They arrived at the company, and Wu Qiangwei unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car.

Watching her slender figure, Wang Dahai slightly furrowed his brow.

He wondered what had happened to Wu Qiangwei?

Just yesterday, they had opened a new branch, which should normally be a happy occasion.

Yet Wu Qiangwei's mood remained low.

"He Wen might know."

Wang Dahai located He Wen's contact information, dialed, and then immediately hung up.

It was too early.

He would wait a bit.

He grabbed a quick breakfast nearby and during that time received an invitation from Ning Mei which he declined using an excuse.

Around 9:30 AM, he called He Wen.

"Secretary He, are you busy?"

"Just finished, what's up?"

"I have a bit of an issue, if you're free, can I invite you for a coffee?"

"Sure, just give me a moment."

Ten minutes later, He Wen came down.

Wang Dahai invited him for a coffee nearby and also transferred him a hundred yuan.

He Wen was taken aback, "Why are you transferring money to me?"

"For the condoms I bought yesterday."

"This is such a small amount…"

"One is one, two is two, I don't like owing favors to people."

Wang Dahai then asked, "Secretary He, has something happened at the company these past few days?"

Secretary He's expression changed slightly, clearly, something had indeed happened at the company.

He sipped his coffee and didn't speak for a long while; Wang Dahai did not urge him, waiting quietly.

After a moment, He Wen said, "Yesterday, one of our branches was reported."

"Oh?"

"Some parents complained to the Education Bureau, claiming the branch's credentials were incomplete. The bureau sent people to investigate, and indeed a certificate had expired and hadn't been renewed. Now, that branch is temporarily closed, and all this fuss means it'll be shut for at least half a month."

"Is this a serious issue?"

"Not serious, but definitely troublesome."

"Is this kind of complaint common?"

"In our business, we often deal with the Education Bureau, so normally everything is taken care of."

"So this complaint…"

"Heh, I really wouldn't know about that."

Looking at his expression, Wang Dahai knew there must be other factors involved.

Although he wasn't knowledgeable about corporate management, a bit of analysis made the situation relatively clear.

It could either be a rival causing trouble, or it could be Hu Quan!

Normally, parents wouldn't go to the extent of making complaints; the likelihood of that was very low.

And given the timing, it was most likely Hu Quan.

Wang Dahai narrowed his eyes, noting that Hu Quan had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

But now was not the time to dwell on this.

To forge iron, one must be strong themselves.

Wu Qiangwei was currently unable to control her company, and in Lingcheng, she lacked official connections.

That was the real problem.

If she had connections, would she even need to worry about these issues?

As he was pondering, Wu Qiangwei suddenly called.

"Hello, Director Wu…"

"Come and pick me up."
