Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

But because they usually feared Wong Qifu's authority, when they saw her stance now, none of them dared to argue back, even though they had all clearly seen Xu Ke send Wang Yu flying with a single kick.

As the crowd fell silent, Xu Ke, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh.

How terrifying must Wong Qifu be? To think she has these people too scared to even argue back.

Just then, a voice cut through the silence.

"Then why don't you tell us what it is you understand?" Wang Tianlu sneered. "Wong Qifu, don't think that just because you've been in this position for a long time and received plenty of flattery, everything you say is correct. Anyone with eyes can see that Xu Ke was about to kill your aunt just now. And you're still standing there, lying through your teeth and trying to shield Xu Ke?"

He was deeply disappointed in these core members. Utterly useless, none of them capable of achieving anything significant. They had reason on their side, yet they were still cowering?! They had truly wasted their lives.

"Shielding him?" Wong Qifu glanced at Wang Tianlu. "According to you, this is simply about Xu Ke injuring Wang Yu, which makes him guilty and requires me to punish him. But I'm telling you, Xu Ke was not harming Wang Yu. He is completely innocent!"

"Since he's innocent, what is there to shield?"

Wong Qifu's shameless declaration made Wang Tianlu burst out laughing. "Hahaha! Did you all hear that? You want to know what shamelessness is? This is shamelessness!"

The core members of the Wang Family frowned deeply.

"Family Head, you can't just make things up. You have to be reasonable!"

"That's right, we all saw him kick her."

Xu Ke's brow was also furrowed. He wanted to stop Wong Qifu from continuing. He was worried that if she kept spouting such nonsense, she would lose all credibility, giving Wang Tianlu the perfect opportunity to move against her. If that happened, he wouldn't be the only one in trouble; Wong Qifu would be as well.

But at that moment, Wong Qifu shot him a look, a subtle signal for him to relax.

Xu Ke paused, startled.

Then, Wong Qifu continued, "That's why I said none of you understand."

Wang Tianlu was enraged. "You've been beating around the bush telling us we don't understand. Fine, tell us! What is it that we don't understand?"

He was truly incensed by her. Kicking someone until they vomit blood isn't considered harm?! What kind of absolute nonsense is that?!

The other core members were equally furious. Wang Tianlu was right; Wong Qifu was being utterly reckless!

"It's simple," Wong Qifu stated. "I've already spoken to Xu Ke about this. Wang Yu framed members of the Wang Family, and she certainly deserves to be stripped of her position. But, no matter her faults, she is still a member of the Wang Family. To ensure she could live out the rest of her life a little better, I specifically asked Xu Ke to treat her illness today."

"Just now, he was in the middle of treating Wang Yu!"

The entire room fell deathly silent.

Wang Tianlu and the other Wang Family members were completely dumbfounded. They started to wonder if something was wrong with their ears. Had they misheard? What on earth was Wong Qifu rambling about? How could she claim that kicking Wang Yu across the room was for her own health?

They all looked at each other, a single question in their minds—

Did Wong Qifu really think they were all idiots?

Wang Wu, Wong Gaoyang, and Zhan Yunning were similarly stunned by Wong Qifu's declaration. They swore they had never seen her be so unreasonable.

As for Xu Ke, after his initial shock wore off, a bitter smile spread across his face.

So that was her plan. He finally understood!

In the next moment, Wang Tianlu roared, "Wong Qifu! You call kicking someone a treatment? Are you insane, or do you think I'm senile?"

Wang Tianlu could accept his defeat today, but he could not accept being treated like an imbecile by Wong Qifu. This was a blatant insult!

The others voiced their outrage. "Family Head, aren't you twisting logic a bit too much?"

"This is just sophistry!"

"How can you call beating someone a treatment?"

The members who supported Wang Tianlu were shaking with rage.

Shameless. Utterly, despicably shameless!

But these angry accusations had no effect on Wong Qifu. She remained unperturbed. "And why can't hitting someone be a form of treatment?"

Wang Tianlu gritted his teeth so hard they felt ready to shatter. "She was kicked until she passed out and vomited blood!"

Wong Qifu replied coolly, "How can one treat years of stagnant blood without purging it completely? You yourself have chronic ailments; during your treatment, you also have to vomit blood and pass out. Besides, surgery requires cutting a patient open. When you see a blood-soaked operating room, do you accuse the surgeon of murder?"

Seeing her completely self-righteous expression, everyone felt that today, they had truly grasped the meaning of "brazen."

"Fine! Fine! Just fine!" Wang Tianlu was hopping mad. He was trying to have a serious discussion, but she insisted on this absurd charade. What kind of world was this?!

He still had to force the words out through clenched teeth. "Even if we accept that Xu Ke's first kick was to treat Wang Yu, what was he doing when he went to approach her again? If Uncle Wu hadn't stopped him in time, Wang Yu would be dead by now!"

The crowd nodded in agreement. Everyone had seen Xu Ke move as if to deliver another kick.

Wong Qifu didn't even lift her eyelids. "He was going to continue her treatment. He was simply obstructed by Uncle Wu, who, like the rest of you, doesn't understand medicine. If you don't believe me, just ask him."

Though still in shock, Wang Wu quickly nodded in cooperation. "This old man is uneducated, just a rough man who only knows martial arts. I truly don't understand medicine. I didn't realize Mister Xu had such benevolent intentions. I was wrong."

After speaking, Wang Wu even gave Xu Ke a solemn apology.

Watching this coordinated performance, the crowd's eyes bulged even wider. A few of the older members were so angry they started swaying on their feet.

This… this was too shameless!

Furious, Wang Tianlu collapsed back into his chair. "Wong Qifu, stop spouting this nonsense. Just deal with the person who needs to be dealt with, now!"

Since she was going to be so tyrannical and unreasonable, he saw no point in arguing with her any longer.

"Deal with him? On what grounds?" Wong Qifu glanced at him and scoffed. "Xu Ke was interrupted by all of you in the middle of saving someone's life, and we haven't even held you accountable for it. And yet you're the ones who feel wronged? You have the audacity to turn this around and blame us? Heh, being ignorant isn't your fault, but being malicious is! The older you get, the more backward you become!"

At these words, several members with weak hearts clutched their chests and sank back into their chairs, trembling. They had tried to reason with her according to the family rules, only to be berated as malicious? They were nearly enraged to death on the spot.

It was at this moment that Wang Wu finally understood.

No wonder the ever-eloquent Mister Xu becomes so tongue-tied in front of the Young Lady… so this was the reason. Xu Ke's words were sharp, but they were always built on a foundation of logic and evidence. Wong Qifu, however, was on another level entirely. She could make an argument out of thin air and still make it sound perfectly reasonable!

BANG!

The sound reverberated through the meeting room.

Wang Tianlu slammed his hand on the table, his extreme anger twisting into a laugh. "Fine! In that case, according to your logic, the next time I get a doctor to treat you, I should have them kick you first too?! And if anyone dares to stop me from kicking you, they're malicious and worse than pigs and dogs!"

He bit off every word, spitting out each sentence through gritted teeth. He was about to explode.
