Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss-Chapter 617 - 591: Success and Loss

Right now, only Liao Fugui and Qian can still smile in this situation.

The boss’s face had already turned green.

Everyone else was worrying for Qian and Liao Fugui, thinking they gave the boss too little respect. Even if Qian solved the problem, what if the boss later seeks revenge on Liao Fugui out of spite using some pretext? And if it’s not solved, then there’s even more reason to punish Liao Fugui.

Fugui was a straightforward guy full of integrity—just freshly out of college, his mind wasn’t filled with the twists and turns of the workplace; he believed if he was in the right, he need fear nothing. He hadn’t even considered the boss retaliating against him.

Qian was different from him; Qian realized the boss would hold a grudge over this affair, and regardless of success, she would have to avenge her stepbrother. Yet she wasn’t afraid.

To avenge Fugui, one has to consider Fugui’s background and her own; she was convinced that once she was involved, this old slick boss would immediately investigate her and Liao Fugui’s backgrounds.

At that point, one person is the only son of a court president, and the other is the future daughter-in-law of the Yu Family—he has to have the guts to make a move.

So Qian wasn’t afraid at all; she did everything possible to rile up the boss, turning to speak to him after angering him sufficiently.

"I see your face is flushed, your breathing a bit fast, and your smile a bit stiff. As a psychologist, I advise you: don’t be angry over others’ anger; getting psychological issues will need our help. Don’t think I’ll work for free because of Liao Yunchang this time. You don’t have that kind of pull. If you get sick and come to me, not a penny of discount you’ll get."

After saying this, she swaggered into the room, and the boss squeezed out a word through his teeth to his secretary.

"Check!"

The secretary hurried out to make a call and soon returned.

At this moment, Qian was already inside beginning her unique personality awakening ritual. A group was watching the situation through a monitor, the secretary whispering into the boss’s ear.

"Found out, she’s a clinical psychology grad student from BD Normal University, has a qualification as a psychological counselor—"

"With just this level and she dares to challenge me?!" The boss thought of a hundred ways to retaliate.

"She has another identity, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Yu Family."

"Which Yu Family, not the one I’m thinking of, is it?"

"Unfortunately, yes..."

"...!!!" No wonder she had such confidence.

Inside, the boss was practically shouting.

What was happening outside, Qian was entirely unaware. She carried a snake into the interrogation room, having dimmed all the lights as required. This was to prevent Zhiming from seeing that the snake was a prop.

Zhiming, handcuffed, sat on the chair, his head buried in his hands, wearing a metal instrument that Qian claimed was a brainwave measurement tool on his head.

"Zhiming, do you remember me?" Qian began speaking.

Zhiming was at the brink of extreme fear, constantly interrogated by these people, terribly afraid...

Upon suddenly hearing a familiar voice, he looked up, instantly recognizing the girl as a guest from his house.

"Sis! Take me away, I didn’t do anything, why are they arresting me..." he pleaded while crying.

Seeing his pitiful state, Qian suppressed her pang of sympathy.

For patients like Zhiming, for their good and to provide closure to the victims, she had to do what was necessary.

"Do you remember this?" Qian held up the prop. Mimicking Yu Minglang’s manner of handling a snake, she gently pinched the snake’s head, and as she swayed it slightly, the toy snake began to wriggle, appearing quite lifelike.

Due to the dim lighting, and having cried for long, Zhiming’s vision was impaired, making out only that it was a snake through squinted eyes.

"Cui’er...?"

"It’s this."

"Wasn’t Cui’er dead?"

"No, Cui’er wasn’t dead back then, but is dying now—look closely!" Qian suddenly raised her voice, becoming very stern. The sudden volume increase was also a technique, designed to thrust timid individuals like Zhiming into a hypnotic state within seconds, compelling him to follow Qian’s actions involuntarily.

As expected, Zhiming stared directly at Qian. Qian abruptly lifted her left hand, holding a small knife, slicing quickly towards the toy snake grasped in her right hand!

The snake’s head was severed!

"Ah!!!" Zhiming broke down, wailing in agony with his head in his hands.

"Come on, low-self-esteem Zhiming, open your eyes wide and watch—your Cui’er keeps dying again and again. It’s your fault she died; you couldn’t protect her, call your brother out, call him to kill me and avenge Cui’er!"

Qian pressed harder, taking the advantage of Zhiming holding his head and hurriedly applying a small bottle of chicken blood to the beheaded toy snake, waving it quickly in front of Zhiming, "Quick, bring your brother out!"

Blood splattered onto Zhiming’s face, his eyes suddenly turning ferociously red, and his handcuffed hands clenched tightly. This state was very reminiscent of when Qian and Yu Minglang saw him flee up the mountain.

Meanwhile, the experts monitoring the situation and the boss, now aware of who Qian is, all displayed disapproval on their faces.

"Aren’t her methods...a bit too extreme?" someone couldn’t help but voice their opinion.

The boss agreed internally a thousand times with this person’s point of view, yet dared not say it aloud.

The daughter-in-law of the Yu Family...

He even began to contemplate how to provide a way out for Qian should she fail because providing an exit for her was, effectively, offering one for the Yu Family...

"Look! The instrument data is changing! It’s changing!" exclaimed the person focused on the brainwave monitor, excitement in their voice.

Zhiming’s brainwave data had changed, differing entirely from before. Everyone held their breath, watching intently inside.

It was truly as Qian had described; Zhiming’s brainwave had changed!

Qian was now only a step away from Zhiming, seeing that after Zhiming’s outcry, he remained motionless, head lowered. She wondered if it wasn’t stimulating enough and considered increasing the intensity when suddenly, Zhiming opened his eyes, his sinister, eerie gaze forcing Qian a step back.

Those weren’t human eyes.

Hatefully twisted with a hint of barely concealed menace.

"Cheap woman, you want to see me? Hehehe~" The voice was unlike Zhiming’s, as if squeezed from his throat, uniquely eerie, carrying a chilling malice.

"Who are you?" Qian managed to stay calm and ask.

"Who am I? Hehe, I am the Zhihu you’re looking for, you cheap woman, you provoke my brother, I’ll make you die!" Suddenly, Wang Zhiming lunged forward, his expression and demeanor entirely different from his previously cowardly state, raising his handcuffed hands to smash them down on Qian!

People outside spotted something amiss and quickly rushed in; this person, self-proclaimed Zhihu, despite being unarmed and handcuffed, audaciously opened his blood-filled mouth, ready to bite Qian!
