Zhang Zixuan timidly lowered his head, not daring to look Chen Qingdi in the eye.
"I... I know I was wrong," he said in a small voice. "I didn’t mean to hurt her, I just wanted to teach her a lesson."
Chen Qingdi let out a cold laugh.
"A lesson? You dared to teach *my* woman a lesson?" He took a step forward, closing in on Zhang Zixuan. "Do you have any idea what the consequences are? What you just did is enough to get you killed a hundred times over."
Zhang Zixuan’s body trembled. He knew Chen Qingdi was telling the truth.
He looked up at Chen Qingdi, his eyes filled with terror. "I... I promise, I’ll never dare to do it again."
"Never again?" Chen Qingdi said with a sneer. "I’m giving you five minutes. If you can’t handle this in the time I’ve given you, you will no longer be among the living."
A look of panic flashed across Zhang Zixuan’s face. "What... what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to sign an agreement right now, transferring all the shares and money from the companies in your name to Shen Mingyue." A chill emanated from Chen Qingdi’s eyes. "Otherwise, I guarantee you won’t live to see tomorrow."
Zhang Zixuan’s face turned pale. He knew Chen Qingdi was a man of his word.
Chen Qingdi took Zhang Zixuan back to the temporary Zhang Family Group office.
Zhang Zixuan sat at the desk, his eyes filled with helplessness and fear. He looked at Chen Qingdi across from him. The man’s deep eyes and cold expression sent a shiver down his spine.
"Zhang Zixuan, you may be a rich playboy, but you’re not an idiot. If you want to keep your life, you’ll do exactly as I say," Chen Qingdi said coldly.
Zhang Zixuan knew in his heart that Chen Qingdi was a man who kept his promises. He had no choice but to nod and ask, "What do you need me to do?"
"Sign this agreement. Transfer all your money and shares to Shen Mingyue," Chen Qingdi said, placing a document on the desk.
Zhang Zixuan glanced at the document, a bitter feeling rising in his heart.
He knew that once he signed this agreement, he would be left with nothing.
But he was even more aware of Chen Qingdi’s methods. If he didn’t do as he was told, he probably wouldn’t even be able to save his own life.
So, he had no choice but to pick up the pen and sign the agreement. When he put the pen down, he felt a wave of emptiness and loss.
But he knew he had made the right choice.
Chen Qingdi took the document, glanced at it, and then said to Zhang Zixuan.
"This isn’t over. I need to take something from you, just to make sure you don’t make the same mistake again."
Zhang Zixuan’s heart tightened. He didn’t know what Chen Qingdi wanted to take. But he knew he no longer had a choice. He could only ask, "What do you need?"
"You should know what I need from you. The only way to keep women safe is for you to become a eunuch." As Chen Qingdi spoke, he suddenly pulled out a knife and gestured with it toward him.
Zhang Zixuan trembled in fear. He knew Chen Qingdi wasn’t joking.
He tried to dodge, but with his flashy yet useless moves, how could he possibly be a match for Chen Qingdi? Soon enough, Chen Qingdi took care of him.
As Zhang Zixuan lost consciousness, he heard Chen Qingdi say coldly.
"This is your punishment, and also your warning. If you make the same mistake again, I’ll make you pay an even heavier price."
When Zhang Zixuan woke up, he found himself lying in a bed. The surroundings were unfamiliar, but he could still hear some sounds.
He slowly sat up and found his wounds had been bandaged. A wave of pain washed over him, but he did his best to endure it.
Just then, a woman walked into the room. She was so beautiful and captivating that Zhang Zixuan was momentarily stunned.
But when he saw her, he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
He knew this woman was one of Chen Qingdi’s subordinates. If he didn’t follow her arrangements, he would likely suffer Chen Qingdi’s punishment once more.
It was late at night when Chen Qingdi returned to the hotel. He was beaming, like a victorious conqueror returning home. The moment he walked in, he saw Chen Yuan and Shen Mingyue.
"How did it go? Is everything taken care of?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Mhm, all taken care of. That bastard Zhang Zixuan won’t be bullying anyone ever again," Chen Qingdi said with a smile.
"What did you do?" Shen Mingyue couldn’t help but ask, her curiosity piqued.
"I made him a eunuch." Chen Qingdi’s words made everyone in the room gasp.
"Isn’t that going a bit too far?" Chen Yuan asked, a little worried.
"Not at all. A monster like him doesn’t deserve to be a man," Chen Qingdi said angrily.
"Besides, he already agreed to sign an agreement transferring all his shares and money to Shen Mingyue as an apology. Even though he didn’t succeed in his plan, there’s no harm in taking the money."
"Huh?" Shen Mingyue was stunned. "When did I agree to this?"
"You don’t need to agree. I just used your name to punish him. A monster like him deserves no sympathy."
Chen Qingdi said coldly, "You just need to accept his money."
"Isn’t this... wrong?" Shen Mingyue hesitated.
"There’s nothing wrong with it. You’ve received what you’re due, and he’s received the punishment he deserves."
"Besides, from this day forward, I will protect you. I won’t let you be harmed again," Chen Qingdi said with a smile.
"Will you really protect me always?" A hint of unease flickered in Shen Mingyue’s eyes.
"Of course." Chen Qingdi nodded affirmatively. "I’ll always be by your side, watching over you, and I won’t let any harm come to you."
"Thank you." A warmth spread through Shen Mingyue’s heart. In this unfamiliar city, she had finally found a shoulder to lean on.
From that day on, Chen Qingdi was always by Shen Mingyue’s side, protecting her. He not only protected her physically but also gave her comfort for her soul.
Whenever Shen Mingyue felt lonely and helpless, Chen Qingdi would appear by her side just in time, giving her strength and courage with his firm, warm embrace.
After Shen Mingyue and Chen Qingdi returned to the company, everything seemed calm. However, the people of the Shen Clan still believed Chen Qingdi was dead, and Madam Shen was even trying her best to arrange a blind date for Shen Mingyue with the Fang Family’s young master, Fang Jiahao.
Fang Jiahao tried several times to get some time alone with Shen Mingyue, but she rejected him each time with various excuses. This left both Madam Shen and Fang Jiahao deeply dissatisfied, and as Chen Qingdi’s assistant, Yang Yang consequently became a thorn in their side.
