Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Oblivious to Danger

He Hongliang for a moment doubted, unable to believe his own eyes, even lifting his hand to furiously rub them several times.

Only after the scene before his eyes still remained unchanged did he dare confirm that he wasn’t seeing things, and he hadn’t gotten it wrong. The person standing in front of him was indeed Liu Meng herself!

Just lookalikes?

How could that be possible? Could such a national beauty’s face be so easily, so simply replicated?

In an instant, He Hongliang’s mind turned into a mess, not knowing what to say to salvage the situation. There were plenty of people to offend, but he had to go and offend the acting chairman of JM Entertainment, Liu Meng.

He Hongliang wished he could immediately punch himself in the face twice, if only it could win Liu Meng’s forgiveness; he was willing to do anything.

Except die, that is.

"President Liu, I apologize, I sincerely apologize. I don’t want her to go to dinner with me anymore, and I will never go after her again. Is that okay now?" He Hongliang had no choice but to submit.

Even though he considered himself somewhat wealthy, his wealth wasn’t enough to show off in front of JM Entertainment. To put it plainly, he simply wasn’t qualified.

"You’re apologizing to her, so why are you looking at me?" Liu Meng asked, nonplussed.

"..." He Hongliang continued to swallow his pride, turned around, and faced Liang Xiaoqi, "Miss Liang, I was overreaching before, blind to your value, unaware of your relationship with President Liu. Please be magnanimous and let me off, I assure you I will never appear before you again."

"Hmm." Liang Xiaoqi agreed with a hum, not taking advantage of Liu Meng’s support to bully someone.

Just when she thought that He Hongliang was about to leave, unexpectedly, his gaze at that moment shifted to Chen Wei.

He glared fiercely at him, the antagonism in his eyes was so strong that it was nearly written on his face for anyone to see.

Then he looked back at Liu Meng, "President Liu, I’ve given the apology I should have given, but your bodyguard kicked me without a word. Shouldn’t he also apologize to me?"

He Hongliang felt very disdainful inside. If I can’t deal with Liu Meng, can’t I handle a little bodyguard?

"Did you hear that? He wants you to apologize to him," Liu Meng’s lips were pressed tightly together, struggling to hold back laughter when she heard He Hongliang treating Chen Wei as a bodyguard, and her gaze turned to Chen Wei.

"..." Chen Wei was at a loss for words.

He turned his gaze to He Hongliang and asked, "How would you like me to apologize?"

Clearly, He Hongliang had misunderstood Chen Wei, and Liu Meng’s intentions.

He crowed triumphantly, "Shouldn’t you at least get down on your knees and bow your head?"

"You mean like this?" As soon as Chen Wei finished speaking, his arm lifted up and then crashed down onto He Hongliang’s shoulder.

Bang!

He Hongliang immediately felt as if a huge mountain had pressed down on his shoulder, his knees bending uncontrollably and slamming into the ground.

Before He Hongliang could react, Chen Wei’s large hand grabbed his head and pressed down hard.

He Hongliang’s forehead also smashed into the ground, assuming the posture of kneeling and kowtowing.

"You brat! I ordered you to kneel and apologize to me!" He Hongliang looked at Chen Wei as if he were looking at an idiot, wondering if something was wrong with his brain.

"Why should I do that?" Chen Wei asked, puzzled.

"You’re just a damn worker. Your boss told you to kneel and apologize to me! Do you dare not to do as you’re told? Who gave you the guts? Or do you want to lose your job and go pick trash?" He Hongliang roared.

"Eh!" Upon hearing this, Liu Meng quickly stepped forward to explain, "Don’t talk nonsense, I never said that. I was just translating your words to him, that’s all."

"I don’t have the courage to tell him what to do."

Courage?

At this moment, He Hongliang was dumbstruck, feeling that the atmosphere was somewhat amiss.

He lifted his gaze to see Chen Wei’s face darkened by the backlight of the sun, and his sense of foreboding grew stronger.

Could it be that this guy wasn’t a bodyguard?

"Let me introduce him, he is the chairman of JM Entertainment, the genuine chairman. To tell the truth, even I have to follow his orders. You want me to tell him to apologize to you, do you think that makes sense?" Liu Meng’s lips were tightly pursed as if deep in thought.

What! He, he is the real chairman of JM Entertainment!

As these words were spoken, He Hongliang’s mind buzzed, nearly crashing with fright.

There had been rumors that Liu Meng had become the acting chairman of JM Entertainment because she had hooked up with the mysterious person who bought JM Entertainment.

He Hongliang could have never imagined that Chen Wei was that mysterious person.

This was a hundred times, no, a thousand times more terrifying than Liu Meng’s status as the acting chairman of JM Entertainment!

"President Liu, you must be joking with me, right? How could he, so young, have such great power?" Besides this, He Hongliang didn’t know what else to think, clinging to some slim hope.

More than anyone, he hoped this was just a joke.

"A joke?" Chen Wei took out his phone and dialed a number, "In three minutes, I want a man named He Hongliang in River City to be completely disgraced!"

To be ruined in three minutes? Such boastful words seemed completely out of bounds.

Even if Chen Wei was the mysterious big player who had bought JM Entertainment, He Hongliang believed he still had some power, connections, and resources in River City. Chen Wei might be able to ruin him, but definitely not within three minutes.

It simply wasn’t possible!

He Hongliang was very certain of this.

However, not even thirty seconds later, He Hongliang’s phone suddenly began to ring.

He Hongliang took out his phone, answered the call, and his expression changed from doubt to shock, then to horror, and finally to terror... It changed as quickly as the weather at sea.

He Hongliang was completely bewildered.

Three minutes?

There was no need for that, in less than two minutes, all the despicable things He Hongliang had done in the past were exposed, including a life that he himself had almost forgotten about.

All of his business partners were quick to announce through their official accounts that they would cut ties with him, never to associate again, each competing to distance themselves first.

It was as if everything had been plotted in advance.

But on closer thought, it didn’t make sense; the incident had happened so suddenly. Before this, He Hongliang hadn’t known Chen Wei or that Liu Meng would come here... How could it have been prearranged?

In an instant, He Hongliang plunged from a high position to become a target for public humiliation.

He couldn’t imagine just how much power lay behind Chen Wei, this young man, to be able to accomplish such a feat.

"Well? Still think I’m joking with you?" Chen Wei asked He Hongliang.

"..." This time, He Hongliang willingly bowed down and kowtowed, "Chairman Chen, I’m sorry! Please forgive me, I’m willing to do anything for you!"

He knew all too well that the only one who could save him now was Chen Wei, no one else.

"Sorry, but I decline!" Chen Wei stated without a second thought.

At the same time, the sound of police sirens approached from the distance.

In that moment, He Hongliang’s heart felt like it had plunged into an icy abyss, completely enveloped by despair, so intense it was suffocating!
