Chapter 190, Second Young Master is being held hostage with a steel knife by his ex-wife, Li Wanting
Yang Yumei's position in the Cheng family's real estate business has once again steadily risen!
She wore a smug expression, holding a black ballpoint pen between her right index and middle fingers, circling it back and forth.
She sat in the armchair behind her desk, turning around freely, feeling happy. She knew that most of her achievements came from the unexpected good fortune bestowed upon her by the "Time and Space Laws" system, which had brought her rebirth.
Yang Yumei was immersed in joy when suddenly there was a knock on the office door.
“Come in,” she said.
Assistant Xiao Li rushed in, his face pale. "General Manager, something's happened. Our newly developed land has been found to have irregularities, and now people from higher up are investigating."
Yang Yumei's heart sank. How could this be? She had just been promoted. Had her good luck run out so quickly?
After calming down, she immediately thought of the "Time and Space Laws" system.
She closed her eyes and silently pleaded for help from the system.
A moment later, the system's cold voice echoed in her mind: "This crisis is a test of your abilities. I can only give you hints. You must rely on your own strength to find the person behind this."
Yang Yumei gritted her teeth and began to carefully review the project documents. After some investigation, she discovered that someone within the company was jealous of her rapid promotion and was secretly sabotaging her.
Yang Yumei quietly gathered evidence and eventually caught the culprit, successfully resolving the crisis. It turned out the person who caused the trouble was her second sister-in-law, Li Wanting.
Through this experience, she also realized that she could not rely too much on the system; her own strength was the real asset.
Li Wanting is like a time bomb left by your side, ready to explode at any moment!
Then she realized she couldn't be soft-hearted anymore and had to find a way to get rid of her. Keeping this troublesome Li Wanting around would only benefit Yang Yumei's promotion in the Cheng family, not her. Yumei had let her go time and time again, but instead of being grateful, she continued to hinder her career advancement in order to complete her system tasks.
Yang Yumei knew she had to be careful when dealing with Li Wanting, since Li Wanting also had a certain influence within the Cheng family. So she began to secretly investigate Li Wanting's network of relationships and all her weaknesses.
She soon discovered that Li Wanting had close ties with an external competitor and had received a considerable amount of bribes from them.
Yang Yumei quietly organized the evidence and anonymously sent it to the most respected elder in the Cheng family. This elder, who always valued the Cheng family's reputation and rules, was furious upon seeing the evidence.
At a family meeting, the elders publicly exposed Li Wanting's actions. Li Wanting tried to deny it, but the evidence was irrefutable.
Ultimately, the Cheng family decided to expel Li Wanting from the family, have the second young master of the Cheng family divorce her, and cut off all business ties between her and the family.
Yang Yumei stood aside, watching Li Wanting slink away, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She knew that in the large families of this era, only those who were smart and decisive enough could gain a foothold.
She became even more determined to rely on her own wisdom to move forward, achieve more goals, and no longer allow anyone to threaten her position.
Not long after, the divorced second son of the Cheng family married a young and beautiful second wife.
On the day of the second young master's and the new second young mistress's wedding, Li Wanting disguised herself as a man, carrying something in her arms. She sneaked into the Cheng family's wedding ceremony held in the back garden of the villa!
Then, Li Wanting, wearing a black mask, approached Yang Yumei and whispered, "Yang Yumei, do you think you can completely defeat me like this?" As she spoke, she pulled out a dagger from her bosom.
Yang Yumei was startled, but quickly calmed down. "Li Wanting, why are you doing this? You've already been expelled from the Cheng family. Causing trouble won't do you any good."
Li Wanting sneered, "Today I'm going to drag you down with me. It's all because of you that I've lost everything."
Just as Li Wanting raised her knife to stab Yang Yumei, a dark shadow flashed by. It turned out that the Cheng family's bodyguards had arrived in time and subdued Li Wanting.
It turned out that Yang Yumei had anticipated that Li Wanting would not give up easily, so she had notified her bodyguards in advance to keep an eye on her movements.
Li Wanting struggled, her eyes filled with hatred, but she was no longer able to resist.
Yang Yumei sighed, "Actually, if you had just let go of your jealousy back then, we could have lived in peace."
Li Wanting was then handed over to the police.
Suddenly, Li Wanting broke free from the two policemen holding her, quickly drew another short dagger from her waist, and rushed straight at her ex-husband, Cheng Qiang.
Caught completely off guard, the second young master was suddenly seized by her, a gleaming steel knife pressed tightly against his long, pale neck. A few drops of bright red blood dripped from the sharp blade...
By the time the two police officers reacted, they were also unable to control Li Wanting, whose eyes were gleaming red and menacing.
All the relatives, friends, staff, and security guards who came to congratulate the wedding in the courtyard had no choice but to quietly wait for things to take a turn for the better under the direction of Chairman Cheng.
The madam declared that no one was allowed to do anything to harm the second young master.
At this moment, Li Wanting, who had lost her mind, sneered and said to the second young master, the man she had subdued with a steel knife, "Cheng Qiang, you are so cruel. You didn't care about me when I was in danger. You obeyed the family's orders to kill me and then immediately married a girl younger than me. But you never thought that you would soon go and die with me. We will still be husband and wife in the other side."
Cheng Qiang struggled to say, "Don't be delusional. I'm already fed up with everything you've done. Who wants to be your ghost wife? You've harmed my sister-in-law time and time again because you don't want our Cheng family's business to develop in a good direction."
"Cheng Qiang, don't forget, I have a wife who bore your child. Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness! You are too heartless!"
"How dare you talk about children? You only gave birth to a girl who can't carry on the family line, bah!" the wife scolded.
Ouch! That hurts!
"Mom! Everyone speak up, or you'll hurt my second brother's life." A few drops of blood spurted from Cheng Qiang's neck again under the steel knife.
Yang Yumei persuaded her wife, and her wife then held back and shut up!
Yang Yumei began to work on her "Spatial Laws" to see if there was any way to safely keep her second brother-in-law.
Her eyes lit up and she had an idea!
……
After this battle, Yang Yumei's position in the Cheng family became even more secure, and she continued to use her wisdom to manage the company's business.
At the same time, she actively explores the other abilities that the "Time and Space Laws" system brings her, hoping to create more glory of her own in this era, and the Cheng family will also move towards a more prosperous future under her leadership.
