Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

The atmosphere inside the private room froze instantly.

Fu Siya and Li Xirui remained casually seated on the sofa, showing no surprise whatsoever—as members of prominent families, they were used to such scenes and considered them minor occurrences.

Manager Zhao turned pale with fright and quickly stepped forward to try and calm things down: "President Bai, please calm down, let's talk this out..."

"Get out of my way!" Bai Shikang shoved Manager Zhao aside, his eyes fixed on Jiang Wenxi. "I'm saying this one last time, release her!"

Jiang Wenxi was leaning back on the sofa, casually twirling a purple custard apple between her fingers, without even lifting her eyelids.

Only after Bai Shikang's roar subsided did she slowly raise her eyes, her tone as calm as if she were discussing a trivial matter: "President Bai? You've got quite a temper. But your daughter dared to harm my people and poison me, and now you want me to release her? On what grounds?"

"You're talking nonsense! How could Ruoqi do such a thing!" Bai Shikang didn't believe it at all, thinking that Jiang Wenxi was just making excuses.

"I think you're tired of living. Do you know who I am? My Bai Group has businesses across all industries in Shanghai. Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Jiang Wenxi chuckled, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "Jiang Wen, let him see his precious daughter's 'masterpiece'."

Jiang Wen immediately stepped forward and handed Bai Shikang the recording and chat logs on his phone in which Xiao Jie testified that Bai Ruoqi had ordered the poisoning.

The clear audio recordings and irrefutable written evidence instantly turned Bai Shikang's face grim. Although he doted on his daughter, he knew the seriousness of poisoning.

"This...this is impossible..." Bai Shikang tried to argue, but then Jiang Wenxi's cold voice rang out again: "Impossible? Ask your daughter if she had this guy named Xiao Jie poison me, promised him 20 yuan, and then threatened him with jail time and harm to his mother?"

Seeing her father arrive, Bai Ruoqi felt as if she had found a protector and cried out, "Dad! She bullied me first! I just wanted to teach her a lesson, I didn't mean to really hurt her! Please save me!"

"Teach me a lesson?" Jiang Wenxi raised an eyebrow. "Just because you repeatedly provoke me and fail, you resort to such despicable methods as poisoning? President Bai, is this how you raise your daughter?"

Bai Shikang was speechless after being confronted, his face turning pale and then red.

He knew Bai Ruoqi was in the wrong, but he couldn't swallow his anger at how his daughter had been treated. He forced a smile and said, "No matter what, it's wrong of you to hold my daughter hostage! Whatever the grudge, we can talk it over. Name your price—how much will it take to release her?"

"Money?" Jiang Wenxi scoffed. "Does President Bai think I'm the kind of person who needs your little bit of money?"

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and Yang Mingxin walked in carrying a stack of documents.

He saw the scene inside the private room, but his expression remained unchanged. He walked straight to Jiang Wenxi's side and said respectfully, "President Jiang, I've arrived."

"Attorney Yang, you've come at the right time." Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly. "This is Mr. Bai from the Bai Group. Could you tell him if things have been a bit unsettled at his company lately?"

Yang Mingxin turned to Bai Shikang, his eyes sharp as knives, and slowly said, "Mr. Bai, it's been a long time. I suppose you don't know that your Bai's Building Materials Company has been involved in shoddy workmanship and illegal construction. The construction site collapse in the east of the city last month was caused by your substandard building materials. Also, Bai's Trading Company has been involved in smuggling and tax evasion for a long time, and we have a complete chain of evidence. In addition, several entertainment venues under your name are involved in illegal and irregular activities such as prostitution and gambling."

With each point mentioned, Bai Shikang's face paled further. These were his company's core secrets, his most hidden weaknesses, and he never expected that the other side would have them all!

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Bai Shikang retorted, trying to appear calm. "My company has always operated legally, how could we possibly have these problems! This is slander!"

"Slander?" Yang Mingxin threw the documents in his hand in front of Bai Shikang.

"Here we have detailed test reports, financial statements, transaction records, and testimonies from relevant personnel, each of which is legally valid. If Mr. Bai doesn't believe us, we can submit them to the relevant departments now for investigation and verification."

Bai Shikang picked up the document with trembling hands, growing increasingly alarmed as he read. The evidence was so detailed that he couldn't refute it. He finally realized that this seemingly young woman was someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

The other party not only dared to detain his daughter, but had also already investigated all the problems with his company, so they were clearly well-prepared.

"What...what exactly do you want?" Bai Shikang's tone finally softened, his anger replaced by fear.

He knew that if this evidence were actually submitted, his Bai Group would be completely finished.

Jiang Wenxi slowly stood up, walked to Bai Shikang, and looked down at him: "It's very simple. First, have your daughter apologize to me and pay the price for her poisoning and provoking me. Second, compensate me for emotional distress and subsequent reputational damage. Your company's total market value is 40 billion, so 30 billion in compensation isn't unreasonable, is it? Third, rectify all the violations in your company as soon as possible and accept inspections from relevant departments. If you do these three things, I'll let her go."

"30 billion? Why don't you just rob someone!" Bai Shikang exclaimed.

"Rob?" Jiang Wenxi sneered. "Compared to your daughter's life, compared to your Bai Group, is 30 billion a lot? Mr. Bai, do you have a choice?"

Yang Mingxin added from the side, "Mr. Bai, let me remind you, if you don't agree, not only will Ms. Bai face imprisonment for intentional poisoning, but your company will also be shut down for these violations, and you yourself may also bear corresponding legal responsibility."

Bai Shikang looked at Bai Ruoqi crying on the ground, then at the irrefutable evidence in his hand, and then at the business empire he had worked so hard to build. He was torn between his own conscience and his inner turmoil.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "Okay, I promise! I'll make her apologize to you right now!"

With that, Bai Shikang turned and glared at Bai Ruoqi on the ground, shouting sternly, "What are you all standing there for? Apologize to Miss Jiang right now!"

Bai Ruoqi was startled by her father's roar, and her crying immediately subsided.

She pouted, looking at Jiang Wenxi with resentment in her eyes, yet she dared not disobey her father's orders.

Under Bai Shikang's increasingly stern gaze, she reluctantly lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "I...I'm sorry..."

"I didn't hear you." Jiang Wenxi leaned back on the sofa, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, her tone indifferent. "An apology should have the right attitude. I don't want to repeat myself."

Seeing this, Bai Shikang, though furious, could only suppress his anger and urged again, "Ruoqi! Apologize sincerely!"
