My stunning iceberg CEO wife

Chapter 127: Chapter 126 Myriad Devouring Needle

”Mu Chen, what is the meaning of this? When did I ever have someone to cripple you? Stop spouting nonsense.” Vice President Zhao’s face changed dramatically upon hearing Mu Chen’s words, as he yelled out.

The others’ expressions changed as well, sensing that there might be a secret involved; no one spoke up, as it was a private matter between two individuals.

Dongfang Aoxue and Liu Yuxi’s gazes shifted, seemingly believing that Mu Chen might just be capable of turning the tide.

”I know you will definitely not admit it, but I’ve invited the West District Overlord, Huang Balang, to confront you. Are you sure you dare not confess?” Mu Chen roared imposingly, his eyes locked onto Vice President Zhao, emitting a hint of killing intent.

Hearing the name Huang Balang, Vice President Zhao’s face changed again, but he immediately retorted: ”I have no idea what you’re talking about, nor do I know who Huang Balang is.”

Vice President Zhao stubbornly denied it all, knowing that since he had made the call, there was no evidence to trace back to now.

”Forget it, I can’t be bothered with you. But let me make it ugly upfront—if you dare threaten Yu Xi to step down today, I will cripple you right now. And, I do not like to listen to crap,” Mu Chen said seriously.

As soon as Mu Chen finished his threat, everyone’s faces changed. It was a blatant threat, a ferocious warning to all that offending Liu Yuxi was tantamount to offending him.

Vice President Zhao’s expression turned as ugly as it could get; Mu Chen’s words put him in a position where he could neither advance nor retreat, leaving him without a way out.

”Mu Chen, I’m not afraid of you. You don’t need to threaten me. I am forthright in my actions; I am not afraid of you,” Vice President Zhao finally said earnestly.

”I’ve already said I don’t like to listen to crap. Since you’re speaking it, then you’ll find out what it means to offend me, Mu Chen.” With that, Mu Chen stood up and approached Vice President Zhao step by step.

”Mu Chen, what do you want to do? This is a society governed by the rule of law; if you dare act recklessly, I will call the police,” Vice President Zhao said, his face pale with fear.

”Call the police? I wonder who the police will arrest first. If the police were diligent in investigating, they would certainly find out that you were the one who had someone cripple me,” Mu Chen said seriously, hitting the nail on the head.

”President, stop Mu Chen. Don’t let him do anything foolish, because it will be him who ends up in prison,” Vice President Zhao appealed to Liu Yuxi.

”I’m sorry, but this is between you two. We’ll just enjoy the show,” Liu Yuxi replied disdainfully, also quite displeased with Vice President Zhao. In fact, she would really like to see Mu Chen cripple him.

”Mu Chen, let’s talk this over, don’t get angry,” Vice President Zhao implored with a change in his expression.

”How can you talk sensibly without a good lesson?” After getting in front of Vice President Zhao, Mu Chen grabbed his throat, lifted him up, and said with a sinking tone.

”Cough cough, stop, Mu Chen, stop! You’re insane, if you kill me, you won’t survive either,” Vice President Zhao stammered.

The onlookers’ expressions changed once more, feeling intimidated by Mu Chen’s ferocity.

Dongfang Aoxue and Liu Yuxi’s faces changed as well, wanting to teach Vice President Zhao a lesson but knowing that killing was not an option.

”Do you still want Yu Xi to step down if I decide to spare your life?”

”It’s impossible. Even if you kill me, my decision remains the same.”

”Stubborn, it seems there really is someone backing you! How about this: if this is still your decision in three days, and if we still haven’t figured out any solution, Yu Xi stepping down is absolutely fine, what do you think?” Mu Chen proposed seriously.

”Really?” Vice President Zhao asked with a surprised expression.

”Yes, and I guarantee I won’t trouble you.”

”I agree,” Vice President Zhao immediately responded.

Vice President Zhao wasn’t about to be foolish now. If things went south and Mu Chen really killed him, then he would be...

”Then get lost!” Mu Chen spoke, and with a forceful shove, he flung Vice President Zhao several meters away.

Vice President Zhao was quite heavy, and the thud of his body hitting the ground seemed to shake the room.

”Mu Chen, you’ve got guts; we’re leaving,” Vice President Zhao said before picking himself up and leaving the conference room.

The shareholders and department heads left helplessly, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Watching everyone leave, Liu Yuxi’s face relaxed a bit, but thinking of the situation looming in three days, her expression soured again.

However, as the head of the security department was about to leave, Mu Chen stopped him with his hand, releasing a powerful aura that rendered the security head unable to move.

The security department head looked at Mu Chen in astonishment and fear. Being a retired special operative with Black Level peak strength, he could clearly feel the terror of Mu Chen’s prowess, which filled him with dread.

”Brother Mu Chen, what do you want to do?” he asked.

Mu Chen smiled and said, ”Nothing much, just wanted to have a chat with you.”

”I don’t have time,” the security department head said, his expression changing.

”Are you looking down on me?” Mu Chen inquired, his gaze changing as he emitted a strong aura.

Feeling Mu Chen’s overwhelming presence, the security department head swallowed hard and said, ”Make it quick then.”

”Yu Xi, Ao Xue, the two beauties, why don’t you go outside and wait for me for a few minutes? I’ll handle this matter, don’t worry, I promise to resolve it quickly.”

”What ruffian tactics are you planning?” They were curious about Mu Chen’s fixated attention on the security department head.

”Just go out, I’ll handle it.”

”Alright!” The two women nodded and left, inexplicably confident in Mu Chen.

”Speak! What’s the reason?” Once everyone was gone, Mu Chen immediately bolted the door, locked it, and turned to the security department head.

”What reason? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

”Not clear? Then let me spell it out for you. You’ve been threatened and have no choice but to target Liu Yu. Is that clear now?”

”Mu Chen, we haven’t bullied Liu Yu, nor have we offended anyone. Stop spouting nonsense,” the security head responded when confronted.

”Fine, I knew you wouldn’t confess so easily, so let’s get you to spill everything.” As he spoke, Mu Chen pulled out a silver needle, aiming it at the security head.

”What do you want to do? You want to commit murder?” The security head’s expression drastically changed seeing the silver needle, fear in his voice.

”Don’t worry, I, Mu Chen, don’t kill. You’ll soon feel what it’s like,” Mu Chen said as he thrust the needle into the security head’s chest sharply, with a hint of energy.

The security head didn’t know what hit him. As soon as the silver needle punctured him, his face contorted in pain, experiencing an unimaginable sensation of being torn apart, as if his body was being gnawed by billions of ants. He rolled on the ground in agony, begging Mu Chen to stop, to spare him.

”This is the second law of punishment, the Myriad Devouring Needle. I really don’t believe anyone wishes for death.”
