The hotel manager ordered his staff to drive away the paparazzo but the man was slippery and managed to enter the room. In just a few minutes, the paparazzo was able to take hundreds of photos of the naked Rose Young lying unconscious on the floor and of the wrecked room. The camera flashed nonstop like lightning in a tempestuous storm.
Jin Liwei’s bodyguards were too busy checking the room and the surroundings for additional hidden dangers to their boss that they didn’t bother stopping the paparazzo’s intrusion. At least, that was what it looked like to others.
The bodyguards acted hostile to the unconscious Rose Young on the floor but didn’t touch her in any way. One of the hotel staff took pity on her and covered her naked body with a bed sheet to protect her from the growing number of prying eyes trying to peek inside the bedroom from outside the open door where Xu Tian continued creating a ruckus.
“This Rose Young has not learned her lesson after her termination from Jin Corporation!” Xu Tian shouted while continuing to support the “groggy” Jin Liwei.
The hotel manager tried interrupting him to suggest that they bring Jin Liwei to the hospital for a medical examination especially since the CEO was clearly injured with ugly bruises and scratches all over his body, not to mention his groggy and feverish state from being drugged. However, Xu Tian was too worked up to listen to anyone and continued his furious tirade against the shameless culprit, Rose Young.
In the end, the other Jin Corporation executives stepped forward, intending to drive their CEO Jin Liwei to the nearest hospital. The problem was that Xu Tian’s hold of Jin Liwei was too tight. No matter how much they tried pulling Jin Liwei away and pleading with Assistant Xu Tian to let the president go, Xu Tian refused to budge as if he couldn’t hear anything other than his own angry speech.
“President Jin rejected Rose Young’s several inappropriate advances and confessions so many times but she still insisted on creating trouble for both the president and his wife, Madam Jin! If she was really a respectable woman, she wouldn’t continue pursuing a taken man! But it’s now clear to all of us here that she’s far from respectable! Now she dared to scheme against President Jin who only wanted to celebrate her marriage to Madam Jin with the other company executives tonight! Drugging a man and locking him up in a hotel bedroom to have her wicked way with him, absolutely shameless! Immoral! Evil!”
Xu Tian swept his bloodshot eyes to the growing crowd in the hallway. He spotted a random couple and pointed a finger at the female. “You! What would you do if a shameless woman drugged your man and tried to sleep with him without his consent?”
The female glanced at her partner and looked a little awkward at first. However, Xu Tian continued to goad her along with the other females with partners among the crowd. Eventually, they became affected by his emotional words. They imagined experiencing a similar situation and quickly became enraged. Those who had actual experiences before reacted the strongest.
“Shameless women like that deserve to be beaten!”
“Slut!”
“Immoral!”
Now the hallway had become even more chaotic after these enraged women joined Xu Tian in making the ruckus bigger.
“Thank goodness that President Jin woke up in time before that shameless woman succeeded in her evil plan! The president managed to protect the sanctity of his marriage to Madam Jin! Oh, thank goodness! Evil will never prevail against righteous people like President Jin!”
Jin Liwei opened an eye a tiny crack to peek at his assistant. Seeing the man going all out, he couldn’t help but feel impressed. The man had talent. He decided to give Xu Tian a salary raise and a generous bonus after this was all over. Working this hard, Xu Tian deserved that much.
Thanks to Xu Tian creating chaos among the crowd, nobody had the time to notice the finer details of the situation. As a result, the paparazzo was able to complete his task basically unimpeded. The paparazzo slipped away after taking enough photos.
Xu Tian made eye contact with him but neither acknowledged each other. The paparazzo quickly made his escape, clutching his camera like a treasure, while Xu Tian continued manipulating the emotions and opinions of the crowd with his impassioned tirade.
A few minutes later, the paparazzo exited the hotel without encountering any major setbacks. A couple of hotel staff tried chasing after him after the manager alerted everyone about him. However, he managed to elude them.
The paparazzo jumped into a waiting car which drove away as soon as the door closed.
“Success?” the driver asked.
The paparazzo smirked. “What do you think? Boss Hao personally assigned this mission to me, so of course, I’m gonna make sure to make it a success no matter what.” He examined the photos he took with his camera. “Tsk tsk. This woman is really courting death for scheming against Iris Long’s man. We all know how protective Boss Hao is of Iris Long.”
“Address her with more respect! Boss Hao prefers that we call her Miss Xiulan. He treats her like a precious sister. It’s not only him who treasures her. The hacker team also worships her for some reason. I’m not privy to insider information about her because my rank is too low, but I heard from a few seniors that we shouldn’t underestimate Miss Xiulan. Yes, she has the backing of Jin Corporation’s head who’s her husband, and of course, our Boss Hao, but those seniors say that she is more than her powerful backing.”
“I know.”
“You know?”
“Well, not really.” The paparazzo pursed his lips and then shrugged. “I don’t know the details either but my intuition as a paparazzo tells me that Iris Long, I mean Miss Xiulan, is more than what she appears. If not for me taking photos of her and Jin Chonglin back then to create a scandal about them having a secret love child, would I have become a member of Shadow Winds now? It’s because of her that I met Boss Hao and I became who I am today. So many bigshots are on her side. Tell me, is that kind of person normal?”
