Chapter 823: Dark Past!
Who have you offended?
Jiang Feng asked the same question earlier.
But Bai Zhiqing really couldn't remember offending anyone. If you talk about having conflicts with people, it didn't seem like it...
"Sister Zhiqing, we came back from the Provincial City together before, and then Jiang Feng went abroad. So if you haven't met anyone, it's just been these few days. Have you seen anyone in the past few days?" Nangong Qingcheng reminded.
"Qingcheng, don't you know me? I'm always easy-going. I never provoke others on purpose."
Bai Zhiqing said bitterly, "However, now that you mention it, I do remember someone. It was a client I met the day before yesterday—President Han from Huatian Mall. I seem to have embarrassed him..."
"Huatian Mall? Han Xudong?" Nangong Qingcheng immediately asked.
"Yes!"
Bai Zhiqing nodded. "That day, I went to talk to him about sales, and because it was late, we ended up having lunch together. But at the dining table, he was deliberately chatting with me about personal matters, even inquiring if I was single. I noticed he had bad intentions, so I acted very impatient..."
"But he wouldn't stop, even tried to get handsy with me. In a fit of anger, I splashed a glass of drink on him and walked away from the table... He wouldn't hurt me over such a small thing, would he?"
"You know a person's face but not their heart. It might seem small to you, Sister Zhiqing, but not necessarily to others!"
Nangong Qingcheng shook her head and then said to Jiang Feng, "Jiang Feng, I've heard about this Han Xudong before. He's indeed a very lecherous person, keeping many mistresses outside, but he's still not satisfied. He takes pleasure in deceiving girls and hunting for love! If Sister Zhiqing really rejected him face to face, he might hold a grudge and seek revenge!"
"Exactly, I've heard about this Han Xudong too!"
Zhang Qinyao added, "This person was married, and because he was too unfaithful, his ex-wife divorced him. After the divorce, he didn't restrain himself but got worse. They say he has a six-year-old daughter, and he would lure female students by claiming he needed a tutor for his daughter. He even molested them in front of his daughter, and raped one... That incident was a scandal back then, and Han Xudong used money to cover it up afterwards..."
Bai Zhiqing was slightly stunned.
She really didn't know about these things Nangong Qingcheng and Zhang Qinyao mentioned before.
And the reason she thought the incident the day before was insignificant was simply that it was too common.
As a businesswoman, especially a beautiful single woman, every time she went out for a meal with clients, she basically encountered similar sexual harassment and had become immune to it.
People like Han Xudong aren't the first, and definitely won't be the last.
But she never expected that the other person's mind could be so twisted, with such a sordid past that made her shudder just thinking about it, and also very angry!
"Huatian Mall, Han Xudong, I understand now."
Jiang Feng nodded calmly and walked straight out.
"Xiao Feng..."
Bai Zhiqing immediately ran down and caught up with Jiang Feng, saying, "Don't go looking for Han Xudong! Otherwise... we better report to the authorities and let the action department investigate. I believe the action department will also clear my name..."
She was really worried that with Jiang Feng's hot temper, he might directly cripple Han Xudong after finding him!
The situation could spiral out of control then!
Jiang Feng remained expressionless, silent, and continued to walk out.
Reporting to the authorities would only benefit that Han.
Through this incident, he would make sure that everyone with bad intentions in Binhai learns a lesson!
No one can touch people from Fengming Company. Whoever does will face eternal punishment!!
Even though Bai Zhiqing was still full of worry, she couldn't follow him anymore.
"Sister Zhiqing, just let him go! Evil ones have their own punishment, and if Han Xudong really did it, he is despicable and should pay the price. Let him teach him a lesson!"
Chu Feifei said to Bai Zhiqing, indignant.
Bai Zhiqing sighed softly, shook her head helplessly, but said nothing more.
...
Huatian Mall, General Manager's Office.
Just as Nangong Qingcheng and Zhang Qinyao had guessed, this trap against Bai Zhiqing was orchestrated by Han Xudong.
At the moment, he was browsing a dating site on his computer, sneering, with a gleam of excitement and malice in his eyes.
The homepage of the site displayed those hot photos of Bai Zhiqing with her face edited on them.
"You bitch, dared to splash me with wine, now I'll utterly ruin you!"
Han Xudong said viciously, seemingly imagining the scene where Bai Zhiqing was constantly sought after, marked with a price, and embarrassed in public!
"What I can't have, no one else should, the best way is to destroy it!"
Han Xudong felt increasingly satisfied, even indulging in mad fantasies over Bai Zhiqing's photo.
It turned out that Han Xudong himself was an extremely dark-minded psychopath.
He grew up in the countryside, orphaned, living on others' food, and was looked down upon by the villagers.
After growing up, he once confessed to a woman in the village, only to be rejected and insulted, not even worthy of her foot wash water.
In a fit of anger, Han Xudong, feeling heartbroken, left the village and came to Binhai City to strive.
However, perhaps it was time for a change in luck, as he caught the wave of the 1980s reform and opening up, and with sheer determination, rose from being a delivery man, climbing step by step, serving successively as a warehouse keeper, group leader, deputy supervisor, supervisor...
Finally, using gradually accumulated connections and funds, he bought over the entire goods market in the 1990s, which was the predecessor of Huatian Mall.
As he became the General Manager of the Provincial City's main store, Han Xudong's biggest obsession became revenging against beautiful women.
The contempt he once suffered was now mended through identity and wealth.
This is why he was obsessed with seducing women for fun, satisfying his regrets and vanity from when he was downtrodden.
And Bai Zhiqing was one of the few women he couldn't have, even as his status rose!
However, that splash of wine from Bai Zhiqing was a profound insult that seemed to take him back to being rejected by the village belle.
For this reason, he resorted to every means to retaliate against Bai Zhiqing, wanting her to become a scandal!
Just as Han Xudong was lost in his fantasies about Bai Zhiqing's potential plight and inability to justify herself, suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside in the hallway.
Along with the fierce scolding of the security guards and bursts of commotion.
"What's going on?"
Han Xudong immediately turned off the computer and stood up with a frown!
