18: Uncontrollable murderous intent!

Just a little more strength, and this woman would lose her insignificant little life.

The onlookers never expected Bai Wanning to suddenly go crazy and do something like this.

She had always been polite and gentle, never losing her temper no matter how others treated her. In their eyes, Bai Wanning was like a piece of rag that could be trampled on at any time.

They were first shocked, then burst into terrified screams.

"Bai Wanning, what are you doing? If you keep this up, Chen Xiaoya will be crushed to death!"

They watched Chen Xiaoya's struggles become increasingly weak, soon unable to move even a finger. Her limbs trembled uncontrollably as she tried to kick, but she was already gasping for breath, completely powerless to resist Bai Wanning!

However, Bai Wanning seemed to hear nothing. She didn't let go; instead, she simultaneously pressed both the open and close buttons of the elevator, causing the elevator doors to open and close repeatedly.

Click.

Click.

Click.

The sound of the elevator doors clamping shut on Chen Xiaoya's neck echoed like a sharp blade throughout the entire hall.

"Bai Wanning! Stop! Stop! Are you trying to kill someone?!" Lu Gui rushed out from the crowd. He had originally only wanted to see Bai Wanning scolded and humiliated, which was why he deliberately didn't stop Chen Xiaoya.

But now she was genuinely showing murderous intent, and the nature of the situation had completely changed.

If Bai Wanning really killed someone, his company would definitely be implicated. Once an investigation began, all sorts of shady dealings—tax evasion, accounting issues—would be thoroughly exposed.

He absolutely couldn't let things escalate!

He suddenly turned his head and roared at his assistants and secretaries, "What are you all doing? Aren't you going to stop her quickly? Do you want to wait until someone dies before you act?"

He glared at them with a face full of fury, but no one moved.

Everyone could see that Chen Xiaoya had provoked Bai Wanning, and as a result, she had been severely taught a lesson.

Now, if they stepped forward to intervene, what if she attacked them too?

Suddenly, someone behind Bai Wanning shrieked, "Stop it! If you don't stop, she's really going to die!"

Bai Wanning looked up, her gaze cold, at the woman who spoke. Those who had been morally condemning her moments ago were now standing far away, no one daring to approach.

Only Lu Gui's secretary stood a little closer, her eyes a mix of sternness and terror: "Bai Wanning, let her go. If you continue like this, someone will really die. In that case, no matter what grievances or complaints you have, you’ll end up in jail. No matter how wronged you are, you can't retaliate in this way."

The secretary worried that if Bai Wanning didn't stop, she would truly kill Chen Xiaoya today. Although she also admitted that Chen Xiaoya had said too much, still... there was no need to go for the kill!

Seeing Bai Wanning still not letting go, the secretary finally couldn't help but speak up: "Bai Wanning, leave quickly, or I'll call security to stop you."

Her threat actually carried no weight, but Lu Gui, standing behind a group of women, felt this tactic was effective.

He didn't dare to call the police, as his own life might be at risk then, but if only security guards intervened, it could be easily resolved.

"How bold." Bai Wanning sneered inwardly, looking down at the dying Chen Xiaoya, she pursed her lips, and then finally released her.

Chen Xiaoya stumbled, then collapsed weakly to the ground.

Bai Wanning 'tsk'ed, casually kicking her over.

Chen Xiaoya was utterly disheveled, frothing at the mouth, her eyeballs rolled back, and her tongue hung out. She looked like she was on the verge of death, but Bai Wanning knew she was still alive.

She heard a faint "drip, drip, drip" sound behind her, someone tapping on a phone screen. Although the sound was extremely soft, she heard it clearly.

Bai Wanning's heart jolted. Had her abilities awakened? If so, that would be wonderful. In a few weeks, this world would face an unprecedented disaster.

As long as she could fully awaken before the Apocalypse arrived, she was confident she could protect her family.

However, before that,

She suddenly turned around, picked up Chen Xiaoya's handbag that had fallen to the ground, and slammed it hard at Lu Gui!

His phone had just been raised when she glared at him fiercely, the threat in her eyes sending shivers down his spine.

"Don't even think about it," she said coldly.

This action made Lu Gui dejected, losing even the courage to bend down and pick up his phone.

Bai Wanning didn't say anything further, directly knocking the phone from his hand to the ground. She turned and walked into the elevator, and before everyone could react, she had already closed the elevator doors and pressed the ground floor button.

As soon as she left, the secretary immediately rushed over to check on Chen Xiaoya's condition. Seeing her breathing was faint, almost imperceptible, the secretary was instantly startled.

"Quick! Call an ambulance! If we don't, she'll die!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene erupted into chaos. The actors had long been struck speechless by Bai Wanning's ruthlessness, their faces pale.

Lu Gui was also greatly shocked. He was glad he hadn't tried to test Bai Wanning's limits. It seemed that after that incident, this woman had completely gone mad.

"Ding."

Lu Gui pulled out his phone and saw the message on the screen. His face instantly turned as black as a pot bottom, wishing he could curse Bai Wanning's ancestors eight generations back.

He swallowed, then turned to the secretary and said, "Don't call an ambulance. Our company is already in enough trouble because of Bai Wanning. If we get caught in another scandal by the paparazzi, the stock will fall again."

He spoke through gritted teeth, seething with anger.

Of course, he wanted to call the police, but Bai Wanning had just sent him a text message saying she knew about his tax evasion. If he dared to call the police, she would immediately report him.

If Lu Gui hadn't known it himself, he would have truly wondered if Bai Wanning was a worm in his stomach; how did she know everything? She knew things even his wife didn't know, and knew them perfectly clearly!

Meanwhile, Bai Wanning, who had left the company, didn't even spare Lu Gui a thought. She knew he was timid and wouldn't dare to defy her threats. What she was thinking about was still the secretary.

She clutched her bag and ran wildly down the street, finally hailing a taxi.

It wasn't until she was sitting in the car that she suddenly remembered where she had seen that woman.

If she wasn't mistaken, that woman's name was Meng Suisui.
