Soon, the arrogant and overbearing couple, along with Ning Beichen and the beaten security guard, all arrived at Liu Yilin's office.
The couple, acting as the aggressors, immediately began shouting and yelling as soon as they saw Liu Yilin, even cursing at her.
"You ungrateful girl, look what your subordinate did to us. Aren't you going to do anything?"
"Exactly. Now that you're successful and the president, if we hadn't helped you back then, would you even be where you are today?"
The couple accused Liu Yilin of being heartless, their words circling around the same point: why wasn't she doing anything about Ning Beichen hitting them?
Liu Yilin was extremely annoyed and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ning Beichen. However, seeing the finger marks on the couple's faces brought her a sense of satisfaction; Ning Beichen had done what she had always wanted to do but dared not.
"Aunt, Uncle, why have you come so suddenly?"
Liu Yilin asked the couple helplessly.
"Ungrateful girl, don't change the subject. Your subordinate hit us, and we're not letting this go. I want him fired, and I want him jailed."
The woman continued to pester Liu Yilin.
"That's right. If you don't deal with him, we won't leave today."
The man chimed in, acting in concert with his wife, equally as petulant and unreasonable. Truly, birds of a feather flock together, and they were the absolute worst.
Ning Beichen glanced at Liu Yilin, completely unfazed and even looking forward to being fired so he could return to his leisurely life.
However, he was thinking too much. Liu Yilin was not a brainless woman, nor was she someone who would blindly protect her own.
"Aunt, Uncle, he is my bodyguard. I need him to protect me, and he hasn't done anything wrong. Can I apologize to you on his behalf?"
Liu Yilin tried to mediate.
She neither wanted to fire Ning Beichen nor blame him, nor did she want to offend this bizarre couple.
"Ungrateful girl, have you grown wings now? You're the president, and you've forgotten our kindness. I'm only asking you to fire one person, and you refuse us. Do you have any conscience?"
When her demands were not met, the woman became enraged and started to make a scene in the office, dredging up old grievances.
She primarily went on about how, in the past, when Liu Yilin's parents were poor, they had lent them money, which allowed them to have their current comfortable lives.
She spoke as if she were a benefactor, implying that Liu Yilin's current success was all thanks to them, and that without their loan, she wouldn't be the president now. Ning Beichen found it all incredibly absurd and wanted to kick them in the face.
"Aunt, Uncle, it's true that if you hadn't helped us, our family would have struggled greatly. But we repaid the money you lent us long ago, and we returned it tenfold. What more do you want?"
Liu Yilin's head was buzzing, and she said with annoyance.
Her words only emboldened the woman further. She pointed at Liu Yilin, faking tears while roaring,
"You ungrateful girl, how can you speak to your elders like that? If it weren't for us back then, who knows where you'd be? You wouldn't have such a good life, nor would you be sitting in such a nice office..."
"I'm only asking you to fire a bodyguard, and you're unwilling. I'll go and ask your father how he raised his daughter!"
*Slap!*
A slap landed on her face. The one who struck was Ning Beichen.
"Hah, so you think you're so great just because you lent a bit of money? Should I also return my life to you! What are you? If I were the boss, I'd make you both paralyzed right now and hire people to serve you for the rest of your lives as repayment."
Ning Beichen said to her with a ferocious expression, instantly silencing the woman, who dared not utter another word, even after being hit.
Because Ning Beichen's face was terrifying, in her eyes, he looked like a devil ready to devour them.
*Slap!*
Her husband, though silent, also received a slap from Ning Beichen.
"Sorry, I can't play favorites. If I hit you and not your husband, your husband would get jealous."
Ning Beichen was playing the villain role.
The most effective way to deal with such scoundrels was not to argue or reason with them, but to be even more vicious and fierce. Only then would they be afraid and dare not cause trouble.
Ning Beichen was experienced in dealing with such people; nothing was more effective than his fists. If you truly argued with them, they could twist words, making the dead seem alive and the alive seem dead.
"I'm not Liu Yilin, and I'm not afraid of being fired. She doesn't dare to hit you, but I do. Not only do I dare, but I also dare to bury you alive. Try me if you don't believe I have the guts."
"Oh, and be careful when you go out from now on. Don't walk down deserted alleys or through small woods. It's very dangerous."
Ning Beichen spoke with the gentlest tone while uttering the most threatening words, scaring the couple into trembling.
What Ning Beichen said was indeed true. They dared to curse at Liu Yilin, but they didn't dare to do anything to Ning Beichen.
This was because Ning Beichen was genuinely willing to resort to violence, not just to bicker.
Liu Yilin, who had always found them a headache, was surprised that Ning Beichen's brutal methods had achieved the best results.
The couple didn't dare to utter a single word and scurried away, not even daring to leave a parting threat, likely fearing Ning Beichen would actually bury them alive.
"I'm sorry, boss. I really couldn't stand them anymore. Would you mind firing me officially?"
Ning Beichen said to Liu Yilin with an expectant expression.
However, Liu Yilin only gave him a glare and told him to get out, with no intention of firing him, nor did she blame him. This left Ning Beichen feeling somewhat dejected.
While Ning Beichen was threatening the couple, Liu Yilin had also felt a surge of satisfaction, like enjoying an ice cream on a sweltering summer day.
But after the momentary joy, Liu Yilin felt a headache coming on, knowing that while the couple wouldn't dare to confront Ning Beichen directly, they would definitely go home and argue with her parents.
"This guy only knows how to use force, not his brain..."
Liu Yilin muttered, and with a pleasant mood, she sat down to start her work.
Not long after, her best friend, Fang Qing, called her.
"Rich lady Liu, you haven't contacted me lately. Do you still want to deal with that guy?"
Fang Qing complained loudly on the phone, sounding displeased.
