Wang Chao had never seen such shameless audacity in a man before!
Not only did he deceive the girl's chastity and her mother's money, but now he also wanted to use Wang Chao to commit murder and silence the truth. It was utterly despicable!
Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, Wang Zhaoqi's expression changed once again.
He turned his head, glaring at the woman with eyes filled with hatred.
If it weren't for the poison she had administered, rendering him weak and powerless, and if she hadn't cut his body open, causing blood to gush out from his numerous wounds, he would definitely have killed her!
"Damn it, Li Bingying, I only swindled you out of a few hundred thousand. Is this how you treat me? Fine, once I recover from my injuries, I will kill you!" Wang Zhaoqi exclaimed in anger.
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Chao had already kicked him, fracturing his ribs. "Shut up!"
Wang Zhaoqi immediately spat out blood and couldn't utter another word.
Wang Chao then turned to Li Bingying and said, "Miss Li, I assume you've studied human anatomy?"
"Your knife skills are impressive. He's only suffered minor injuries, causing pain and bleeding, but his life is not in danger."
"Don't worry, we won't do anything to you until we understand the whole situation."
"Don't pretend to be sympathetic here. If you truly sympathize with me, then help me kill this ungrateful scum!" Li Bingying angrily retorted.
"To casually take a life, you would ruin your own life forever. Is it worth it for a scumbag like him?" Wang Chao asked.
"I have no regrets. Even if it costs me my life, I will kill him." Li Bingying gritted her teeth.
"Daring to cause trouble on our Zhao family's ship and wanting to commit murder, you're quite audacious!"
At that moment, a cold and furious shout rang out.
Immediately after, one of the middle-aged men who had been following Zhao Lao Ye walked in, staring coldly at Li Bingying. "Are you the one causing trouble in my Zhao family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Wang Chao present as well, and his expression changed. He quickly adjusted his demeanor and respectfully said, "Zhao Lingfeng of the Zhao family, I greet Mr. Wang."
With that, he bowed ninety degrees to Wang Chao, displaying utmost respect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon seeing this scene, both Wang Zhaoqi and Li Bingying had their expressions changed.
Zhao Lingfeng, the renowned figure of the Zhao family, was the pillar of the Zhao family whom Zhao Lao Ye trusted the most. He held great power in the Zhao family and was truly an influential figure!
To witness such a prominent figure bowing and apologizing to Wang Chao indicated that Wang Chao's status surpassed even Zhao Lingfeng.
"Zhao Lingfeng, there seems to be something peculiar about this incident today. Separate and question both of them, investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and make sure not to wrong any innocent person," Wang Chao said.
"Very well, I understand. I will follow Mr. Wang's orders." Zhao Lingfeng responded respectfully.
Afterwards, he immediately called in the others and apprehended Wang Zhaoqi and Li Bingying, binding them and taking them separately to another location for questioning.
Soon, under the investigation led by Zhao Lingfeng, everything became clear.
It turned out that Wang Zhaoqi was at fault from the beginning!
Furthermore, after the investigation, it was discovered that Wang Zhaoqi had done such things not just once or twice. There were at least two hundred girls who had been deceived by him.
"Well, since Wang Zhaoqi only suffered minor injuries, it has nothing to do with Li Bingying. Release her," Wang Chao said calmly.
"Alright, release Miss Li Bingying immediately," Zhao Lingfeng replied.
The people from the Zhao family immediately took action and untied the ropes on Li Bingying.
"Li Bingying, even if you have grievances, you can't cause trouble on our Zhao family's ship. This time, with Mr. Wang pleading for you, I won't hold it against you," Zhao Lingfeng stared at Li Bingying and said in a deep voice.
"From now on, you will stay in the warehouse in the stern cabin and are not allowed to enter our ship," he continued.
Li Bingying was taken aback by his words.
She had racked her brain and tried every possible method to sneak onto this ship with the sole purpose of seeking revenge on Wang Zhaoqi and making him pay the price.
When she took action against Wang Zhaoqi, she had already prepared herself to be caught and sent to prison.
She never expected that the people from the Zhao family would actually let her go.
"You should thank Mr. Wang more. If it weren't for his plea, you would have been thrown into the sea as fish food," Zhao Lingfeng uttered coldly.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang," Li Bingying bowed her head and expressed her gratitude to Wang Chao.
"Reward the righteous and punish the wicked. That is what I desire. Miss Li, you don't have to be so polite," Wang Chao waved his hand, helped her up, and asked, "I heard Wang Zhaoqi say that you are a nurse?"
"Yes."
"You are very proficient in human anatomy, more so than many doctors. Your knife skills are formidable."
"To be honest, I learned it from a patient."
"A patient?"
"I once tried to save a patient who had been brutally attacked in a villa area. I practiced and experimented on his wounds hundreds of times, and that's how I grasped it a little."
"Was that patient named Huang Hao?"
"How do you know?" Li Bingying's eyes widened in astonishment as she looked at Wang Chao.
Wang Chao's expression also changed upon hearing this.
Damn it!
The world is truly small!
He had brutally attacked Huang Hao in the villa area, thinking that the matter had ended. But he never expected that someone would learn this knife technique from Huang Hao's wounds.
What a strange fate!
Looking at Li Bingying's astonished and puzzled gaze, Wang Chao said calmly, "Because I was the one who attacked Huang Hao!"
"What?!" Li Bingying was even more shocked.
So, Wang Chao was her master?
"You bastard, Li Bingying! You dare to harm me! I'll kill you, I'll kill your whole family!" Wang Zhaoqi gritted his teeth, roaring in anger and glaring fiercely at Li Bingying.
"You dare to say that? You, you dare to say that!" Li Bingying couldn't contain her anger upon hearing his words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWang Chao's eyes widened, and he immediately took action. With a clang, he drew the combat knife that Zhao Lingfeng carried with him. Swiftly, he swung the knife, severing Wang Zhaoqi's left hand at the shoulder, causing blood to gush out.
"Ahhh!!!" Wang Zhaoqi's face contorted in agonizing pain as he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Looking down from above, Wang Chao stared coldly at Wang Zhaoqi and said in a chilling tone, "Wang Zhaoqi, listen to me. This cut is just a small punishment for you."
"If you dare to touch a single hair on Li Bingying, I'll slaughter you!"
"Do you understand?"
His voice was icy, filled with murderous intent.
As he spoke, a powerful killing intent enveloped Wang Zhaoqi.
Wang Zhaoqi felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss, trembling with fear.
He looked at Wang Chao with terror in his eyes and stammered, "Who... who are you?"
"My name is Wang Chao. If you have any grievances, feel free to come at me," Wang Chao replied.
"Mr. Wang is a distinguished guest of my Zhao family. If you dare to touch Mr. Wang, it means you are going against my Zhao family. If you have any issues, you can come at my Zhao family," Zhao Lingfeng added.
Wang Zhaoqi's face turned green upon hearing their words.
Damn it!
A distinguished guest of the Zhao family, going against the Zhao family... Even if he had a hundred times more courage, he would not dare to do such a thing.
"Take him and throw him into the storeroom. After we reach the shore, we'll hand him over to the authorities!" Zhao Lingfeng uttered coldly.
As he spoke, two members of the Zhao family immediately seized Wang Zhaoqi and threw him out, locking him inside.
"Mr. Wang, if it weren't for you today, there might have been trouble on our Zhao family's ship. On behalf of the Zhao family, thank you for your efforts," Zhao Lingfeng expressed his gratitude.
"It was just a small favor, nothing worth mentioning. Mr. Zhao, take care of Miss Li Bingying. I have some matters to attend to. I'll go first."
Wang Chao waved his hand, gave a final reminder, and then rushed out.
At this moment, he sensed a change in the power source of Shen Bing's precious jade. It seemed that she was in danger.
Splash!
Wang Chao rushed to the deck, took off his shirt, and dived into the sea with a powerful leap, hardly causing any splash.
Immediately, he moved through the water like a fish, swiftly disappearing from sight.
