Chapter 16:
Chapter 16: Shen Anyu, the Overbearing Power of a Top Noble!:
At that moment, Wang Hai’s mind went completely blank. He stood there frozen, then suddenly shouted hysterically at his close ally and shareholder, Liu Hesheng, “What’s going on?”
Liu Hesheng exchanged glances with the other shareholders. All of them revealed knowing smiles, then shook their heads at Wang Hai and said, “Wang Hai, none of us support you.”
The other shareholders also spoke up one after another.
“Wang Hai, stop dreaming. We don’t support you!”
“Haha, Wang Hai, that expression you just made was really amusing.”
“Wang Hai, sigh, don’t blame us.”
“…”
Seeing all the shareholders reject him, Wang Hai felt as if he had fallen from heaven into a deep abyss. His vision went dark, and he collapsed into his chair, dizzy and trembling, asking in a shaky voice, “Then who do you support?”
These shareholders didn’t support Qin Ningbing, and they certainly didn’t support Wang Hai. Could there be a third party?
Impossible.
All these years, the power struggle within Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company in Magic Capital had always been between him and Qin Ningbing—two opposing forces locked in a covert war.
Liu Hesheng respectfully uttered two words, “Young Master Shen.”
The other shareholders echoed in unison.
“Young Master Shen!”
“We all support Young Master Shen!”
“Other than Young Master Shen, we recognize no one else!”
“…”
Every single shareholder wore an expression of utmost respect, showing no signs of negligence even though Young Master Shen hadn’t yet appeared. In fact, their faces were filled with flattery and eagerness to please.
Witnessing this, Wang Hai was stunned.
He had worked painstakingly for so many years to build relationships, yet none of these shareholders had ever shown him this kind of respect.
So who exactly was this Young Master Shen?
Qin Ningbing had regained her composure by now, but deep shock and astonishment still lingered in her beautiful eyes. She whispered, “Who exactly is Young Master Shen?”
She desperately wanted to know who had managed to defeat both her and Wang Hai after years of rivalry.
Wang Hai’s face twisted with rage, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, “Which Young Master Shen dares to steal what’s mine?!”
“I won’t let him get away with this!”
“I’ll kill him!”
Years of effort and countless hours of hard work had all gone to waste just when victory was within reach.
Wang Hai was completely consumed by fury and hatred. He was furious enough to kill!
Liu Hesheng and the others were about to sneer at his outburst, when suddenly, a loud, respectful voice rang out:
“Young Master Shen has arrived!”
In an instant, the top-floor conference room fell into complete silence.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads toward the door.
At this moment, Qin Ningbing, Wang Hai, Liu Hesheng, and the others all held their breath.
Especially Liu Hesheng and the rest—they instantly stood up, smiles filling their faces as they bowed deeply, not daring to look directly.
Whoosh!
As the doors to the conference room opened wide, a large number of black-suited bodyguards surged in.
Ten! Twenty! One hundred! Two hundred!
A total of two hundred black-suited bodyguards rushed in, each one exuding a fierce and sharp aura like that of a tiger.
Especially the few in front—they moved with the grace of dragons and the power of tigers, their presence towering like mountains.
The two hundred elite bodyguards quickly lined up in two rows and bowed in unison, respectfully shouting:
“Young Master, please!”
Their thunderous voices nearly blew the roof off the building.
Everyone’s ears rang from the sheer volume.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Each step was steady and powerful, carrying an overwhelming aura that felt as if even heaven and earth couldn’t shake it. Just hearing the footsteps was enough to sense the immense pressure.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, a breathtakingly handsome young man stepped into the room like a divine being.
As soon as this stunning young man appeared, the black-suited bodyguards bowed even deeper. Every single one of them displayed utter respect and fanaticism.
Behind the man followed a gentle and elegant middle-aged woman, He Ying, who respectfully walked one step behind.
These two were none other than Shen Anyu and the female butler, He Ying.
Shen Anyu looked at the grim-faced Wang Hai with a faint smile and calmly said, “So, you’re the one who wants me dead?”
Cold sweat poured down Wang Hai’s back. He wasn’t stupid—such a powerful entrance made it clear that this Young Master Shen had a terrifying background. He immediately softened his tone and said, “Young Master Shen, it’s a misunderstanding…”
But Shen Anyu had no intention of chatting with him. He simply waved his hand and said indifferently, “Take him away. I don’t want to see him again.”
As soon as the words fell, two black-suited bodyguards appeared like shadows behind Wang Hai, one on each side. They grabbed his arms and dragged him away.
Wang Hai’s scalp went numb and his eyelids twitched wildly. Overwhelmed with fear, he shouted, “What are you doing?! This is kidnapping, you—”
At this moment, Qin Ningbing let out a quiet sigh and said, “So it’s the Shen family of Yanxia.”
Looking at He Ying, who respectfully stood behind Shen Anyu, she suddenly understood everything.
He Ying used to be the CEO of a publicly listed company under the Shen Consortium. Long ago, when her father was still alive, he had even taken her to meet He Ying.
Considering He Ying’s background, it wasn’t hard for the clever Qin Ningbing to figure out Shen Anyu’s identity.
The “Shen” in Young Master Shen… could it really be that Shen from the Shen family of Yanxia?
He truly was someone who stood above the clouds!
A millennium-old aristocratic family that had survived through dynastic changes without falling!
It was unimaginable how deep and powerful their roots and influence ran.
Even just the Shen Consortium controlled trillions in assets!
“The Shen family of Yanxia?!”
Qin Ningbing’s sigh fell like a thunderclap in Wang Hai’s ears.
He had actually just threatened the eldest son of the Shen family from Yanxia?
Wang Hai’s face turned ghostly pale. His entire body trembled. He wanted to beg for mercy, but the bodyguards had already covered his mouth and nose, dragging him away.
Shen Anyu waved his hand, and Liu Hesheng, the other shareholders of Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company, the black-suited bodyguards, and He Ying all respectfully exited the top-floor conference room.
He Ying even closed the door behind her.
Qin Ningbing’s beautiful face slightly changed. Her eyes became alert as she looked at Shen Anyu and asked, “Young Master Shen, what is your intention?”
“Surely a mere Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company in Magic Capital is beneath your notice?”
Although the company was worth billions now and would be worth hundreds of billions after going public, to the Shen family of Yanxia, it meant nothing.
Qin Ningbing grew cautious.
Clap! Clap!
Shen Anyu gently clapped his hands, his eyes admiring her. His gaze swept over her angelic face and devilish figure, and he slowly said, “Worthy of being called a beautiful female lead. Both your looks and intellect are top-tier.”
“I came here… for you.”
“Surrender to me, and I’ll give you everything you desire. Otherwise, I’ll destroy everything you have.”
His eyes were cold and indifferent.
In front of Su Hongmian, Shen Anyu might have been the perfect boyfriend.
But in front of Qin Ningbing, Shen Anyu exuded overwhelming dominance.
Only this way could he conquer this calm, rational, smart, and proud female CEO.
Qin Ningbing’s face turned pale. Her ominous feeling had come true. But the mere mention of the Shen family of Yanxia left her breathless.
She could hardly breathe. Her red lips parted slightly as she took in a small gasp of air. After a moment of silence, she carefully said, “Young Master Shen, I appreciate your favor, but I already have a fiancé.”
Even though she had long been unhappy with the engagement her late father had arranged for her and had considered canceling it, now it served as a useful shield.
Shen Anyu smiled, but his gaze remained icy as he stared at her like a predator observing its prey.
“What I want… no one can refuse.”
