Chapter 432: Chapter 417: Death by Accident

Zhao Yu hung up the phone, his complexion deathly pale.

He struggled to lift his head, looking towards Long Chen, towards this young man he had always looked down upon.

"You... The call you just made, was it to someone from Dragon Shadow Group?"

Zhao Yu asked.

"Yes."

Long Chen replied indifferently, "So? Are you satisfied? Your laugh just now was so booming, filled with endless mockery. Laugh again for me, will you?"

"Who on earth are you?"

Zhao Yu ground his teeth as he asked.

"Any person at Dragon Shadow Group, if I tell them to go east, they wouldn’t dare go west. What do you think I am?"

Long Chen answered calmly.

Whoosh.

At these words, the entire place was astounded.

Zhao Yu was even more terrified, his face turning ghastly pale: "You... You’re the boss?"

"You really are stupid."

Long Chen was getting a little impatient.

Zhao Yu remembered his uncle’s words, and seeing Long Chen’s icy gaze, he eventually became afraid.

"Brother Long, it was my fault for not recognizing a great man. Please forgive me this once."

Zhao Yu bowed deeply, his voice low.

He didn’t want to be so humble, but if he were truly banned from the entire industry and stripped of his CEO title, he would plunge to rock bottom.

"What exactly did you do just now? Come, tell everyone."

Long Chen said lightly.

"Big brother, I truly realize my mistake..."

"Speak."

There was no doubt in Long Chen’s tone.

Zhao Yu clenched his teeth, and said, "Because of my infatuation with Qi Xin, when I heard Qi Xin already had a boyfriend, I was blinded by rage, so I drugged Qi Xin’s drink, wanting her to be disgraced. I am not human, I am a beast, I know I was wrong, please Brother, give me another chance."

Boom.

The crowd was shocked by his words.

The CEO of Cosmic Entertainment, how could he stoop to such filthy and despicable acts?

"That’s not honorable at all."

"No wonder he infuriated Qi Xin’s boyfriend."

"If this were in ancient times, Zhao Yu would be dead."

"Even in today’s world, killing him wouldn’t be too much, he’s truly despicable."

Many people were speaking out in righteousness.

But Zhao Yu didn’t care, because he knew well that as long as Long Chen gave him a chance, nothing anyone else said mattered.

Thus, Zhao Yu watched Long Chen eagerly, waiting for him to speak.

"You should be kneeling to apologize, not to me."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"I understand, I understand."

Zhao Yu turned towards Qi Xin and with a thud, knelt on the ground, bowing his head to admit his wrongs.

Qi Xin glanced at Long Chen, very clear in her heart that Long Chen would never forgive Zhao Yu.

After taking a deep breath, she said sternly, "When you do wrong, you have to pay the price. Even if you break your head on the ground, I will not forgive you. People like you in high positions, who knows how many girls will be harmed by you. So, you should just get out of this industry."

Hearing Qi Xin’s words, the audience burst into applause.

Zhao Yu’s face turned an ashen white as he suddenly stood up: "If you don’t forgive, then you don’t forgive. Qi Xin, don’t think that by clinging to a powerful figure, you can do whatever you want. With someone like the head of a world-class enterprise like Dragon Shadow Group, do you really think he would marry you? It’s just a fling, you will always be nothing more than a plaything. Don’t start thinking you’re something special. It doesn’t matter if I leave this circle, but I will see your downfall."

"You’re beyond saving," Qi Xin said coldly. "Good luck to you."

"Ha, really? You think you have the guts to kill me? What a joke. I have loads of money. Even if I leave this industry, I can live a luxurious life with fancy cars, mansions, and beautiful women. I won’t lack anything."

"Is that so?" Long Chen stepped closer to Zhao Yu. "Did you ever consider that you might not have a life to spend your money?"

"What do you mean? You want to kill me? Come on, please do. I dare you to kill me."

Zhao Yu said with disdain.

"Oh, I won’t kill you, but you might die in an ’accident.’"

Long Chen said indifferently.

As Long Chen finished speaking, Zhao Yu suddenly slipped.

Immediately after, Zhao Yu lost his balance, and with a ’bang,’ his head made intimate contact with the table next to him, and blood suddenly gushed out.

But that wasn’t the end of it. The knives and forks on the table abruptly flew up, plunging straight into Zhao Yu’s throat.

Zhao Yu was instantly dead, and the entire sequence appeared to be an accident.

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Was this really an accident?

People looked at Long Chen with a newfound reverence.

It was clear to see that this was likely no accident.

"Everyone, Zhao Yu died from his own fall, which is truly regrettable. You may all go back to what you were doing. Oh, and starting today, Qi Xin will become the CEO of Cosmic Entertainment. Those who wish to stay, follow Qi Xin and do your best. Cosmic Entertainment has the support of Dragon Shadow Group behind it; we’re not short on cash. Just focus on your careers."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"Okay."

"I’d be more than willing to follow Sister Qi Xin."

"This is good."

Many people got excited.

Especially the old staff of Cosmic Entertainment, they were exceptionally thrilled.

This confirmed how much they disliked their former boss, Zhao Yu.

Qi Xin was shocked as she looked at Long Chen.

She did not expect Long Chen to gift her an entire company.

Was this a confession?

Qi Xin was pleasantly surprised.

Half an hour later, Qi Xin and Long Chen left the building.

Qi Xin turned around, staring at Long Chen and asked, "Why are you giving me a company? What does it mean?"

"It doesn’t mean anything. I have money to burn. That Zhao Yu was too arrogant. I can’t run it myself, so I’m letting you run it. After all, you know the business. Of course, you’ll need to report your earnings to Dragon Shadow Group on time. You can’t keep it all to yourself."

Long Chen said with a laugh.

"That’s not what I meant," Qi Xin stamped her foot and said, "I meant, you being so nice to me, doesn’t it mean you have feelings for me?"

"I’m not Zhao Yu. I don’t covet your body, so rest easy."

Long Chen chuckled.

"You jerk."

Qi Xin kicked Long Chen. "Why don’t you covet me? I want you to covet my body."

"Have you gone mad?" Long Chen was half laughing, half crying. "Girls should take good care of themselves. Don’t think nonsense. Consider Cosmic Entertainment a little gift from me. I didn’t mean anything more by it."

"I don’t care. From now on, I am yours," declared Qi Xin. "There were so many people at the event, and lots of them took pictures and videos. You’ll be trending soon, and everyone will know you’re my boyfriend. If you don’t take responsibility, my reputation will be ruined, and people will say I got dumped by you. You have to take responsibility."

"Come on, that’s pretty malicious, isn’t it?"

"What else?"

Qi Xin said fiercely, "If I’m ruined, I’ll just move into your house, eat your food and live there, and I won’t leave even if you beat me to death. Wouldn’t that mean I’ve become your woman anyway? So, you’d better think about it and decide how you’re going to handle this."

"Then let’s go have our wedding night right now. Don’t waste any more time. Let’s get moving."

Long Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around Qi Xin’s slender waist.
