Chapter 108 Jiang Zhenbang's Struggle: No One Can Hurt My Daughter
Inside the conference room, Liu Wanhua was yelling at her secretary on the phone: "Useless! You couldn't even stop two people! What's the point of keeping you around! Call security and throw them out right now!"
"No need to call anymore."
A cold voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Hearing the noise, Liu Wanhua turned around abruptly.
When she saw Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan standing at the door, her pupils suddenly contracted, and the arrogance on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a barely concealed fear and panic.
It's Shen Yu!
That man who killed Liu Qingxuan in the blink of an eye!
She instinctively took a step back, her hand gripping the white jade bottle in her pocket tightly. But she quickly regained her composure.
What's there to be afraid of? Jiang Zhenbang is still in her hands. No matter how powerful Shen Yu is, would he dare to disregard Jiang Zhenbang's life?
Thinking of this, Liu Wanhua straightened her back and put on a cold smile again: "Mr. Shen, Ms. Jiang, what brings you here? Didn't I already tell you through my secretary that Zhenbang is unwell and not receiving guests?"
Jiang Manli also stood up, staring intently at Jiang Xinlan, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
On what grounds?
Why should Jiang Xinlan take everything away from her the moment she appears?
She was clearly the one who grew up in the Jiang family, who called Jiang Zhenbang "Dad" for 26 years, and who enjoyed a life of luxury for 26 years.
Jiang Xinlan is nothing but a bastard who grew up in the slums. What right does she have to compete with her for the Jiang family's wealth?
If it weren't for Jiang Xinlan, she would already be the rightful heir to the Jiang Group, and everyone would fawn over her. It's all Jiang Xinlan's fault! This woman ruined everything for her!
She wished Jiang Xinlan would disappear from this world immediately.
Thinking of this, Jiang Manli's lips curled into a vicious smile. She deliberately walked up to Jiang Xinlan, looked her up and down, and spoke in a sharp and sarcastic tone:
"Oh, isn't this Jiang Xinlan? What's this? You heard I inherited the Jiang family, and you're rushing over to curry favor?"
"I advise you to give up on that idea. So what if you are Jiang Zhenbang's biological daughter? I'm still the one he loves most. He raised me for twenty-six years, and our bond is stronger than blood. You're just a stranger who suddenly appeared out of nowhere; he doesn't care about you at all."
"Look at him, he'd rather hand over the entire Jiang Group to me than see you. You should just obediently go back to your Jiangcheng and live your poor life. Stop making a fool of yourself here."
Every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing viciously at Jiang Xinlan.
Jiang Xinlan's face turned pale instantly, and her fingers clenched into fists.
Just then, Jiang Zhenbang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head.
He looked at Jiang Xinlan, at her pale face and reddened eyes, and felt a pain in his heart as if it were being cut by a knife.
We can't let her misunderstand!
I can't let her be sad!
Jiang Zhenbang gritted his teeth and bit his tongue hard with all his might.
A strong, metallic taste of blood instantly filled my mouth.
The intense pain temporarily broke through the control of the Gu worms.
"Don't you dare insult her!"
Jiang Zhenbang suddenly stood up, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the conference table in front of him. He staggered to Jiang Xinlan, spreading his arms to shield her behind him, his eyes filled with guilt and tenderness.
"Xinlan... I'm sorry... Dad is so sorry..."
"Quickly... Shen Yu, take her away... Quickly take her away... It's dangerous here..."
His voice was hoarse beyond recognition, and blood kept gushing from his mouth, but he still stood firmly in front of Jiang Xinlan, like a mountain, wanting to shield her from all the storms.
Jiang Xinlan saw the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and tears instantly streamed down her face.
It turns out, he did want to acknowledge her.
It turns out, he had been protecting her all along.
"Dad..." she choked out, calling out the name she had silently repeated countless times in her heart.
Upon hearing the word "Dad," Jiang Zhenbang trembled violently, and tears streamed down his face.
It's been 26 years.
He finally heard his daughter call him "Dad".
"This is outrageous! It's a complete rebellion!"
Liu Wanhua trembled with rage, her eyes filled with madness. She never expected that Jiang Zhenbang would use biting his tongue to temporarily break free from the control of the Gu worms.
She immediately took out the white jade bottle from her pocket and squeezed it down with all her might.
"ah--!"
Jiang Zhenbang let out a piercing scream, his body convulsing violently. The Gu worms were tearing at his body frantically, more fiercely than ever before.
His eyes became vacant again, and his body uncontrollably took a few steps back, moving away from Jiang Xinlan.
"roll……"
He spoke stiffly, his voice icy and devoid of any emotion, "Who sent you? I don't want to see you! The Jiang family's affairs have nothing to do with you! Get out of here right now!"
After saying that, he shouted at the door, "Security! Throw those two out! Never let them set foot in the Jiang Group again!"
The security guards standing at the door immediately rushed in, ready to arrest Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan.
"See that?" Jiang Manli laughed smugly, walked up to Jiang Xinlan, and said arrogantly and sarcastically, "So what if you're my biological daughter? Doesn't he still listen to me? The Jiang family will always be mine, and you'll get nothing."
Jiang Xinlan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she looked into Jiang Zhenbang's empty eyes. But she knew that these weren't his true feelings.
"Are you done talking?"
Shen Yu finally spoke.
He stepped forward, shielding Jiang Xinlan and Jiang Zhenbang behind him, his cold gaze sweeping over the security guards who rushed towards him.
An invisible pressure, as vast as a mountain and as deep as the sea, instantly erupted from his body.
The security guards had only rushed halfway when, as if pressed down by an invisible mountain, their legs buckled and they all knelt on the ground.
They were trembling violently, their faces were deathly pale, and they couldn't even lift their heads. The rubber batons in their hands fell to the ground with a dull thud.
The air in the entire conference room seemed to freeze instantly.
Jiang Manli's smile froze instantly, and she took a few steps back in fright, hiding behind Liu Wanhua.
Liu Wanhua's heart pounded with fear, but she forced herself to remain calm, raised the white jade bottle in her hand, and said sternly to Shen Yu:
"Shen Yu! Don't go too far! I'm warning you, don't take another step! Otherwise, I'll crush the mother Gu immediately and make Jiang Zhenbang pay with his life!"
