Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 459: Chapter 455: The Might of the Rose

Lin Yafei had left, heading for Beijing, paving the way for Lu Tianxing to annihilate the Wang Family.

At the same time, another woman was also paving the way for Lu Tianxing.

At this moment, in a luxurious private room of a hotel under the Rose Society’s banner, several portly men, oozing an air of officialdom, sat before a dining table laden with stacks of delicate dishes, whose rich aroma was tantalizing, yet no one touched the food; all eyes were fixated on a seductive woman in front of them.

The entire woman was filled with temptation, but her exquisite, pretty face was as cold as ice, her authoritative eyes slightly narrowed, casting a chilling presence that swept across the room and made everyone feel a cold dread emanating from the depths of their hearts.

This woman was none other than the Rose.

Although the Rose was suffused with temptation and oozed a ripe aura, not a single person dared to look her way; Rose was a woman fraught with danger. Once, someone coveted her beauty and sought to obtain this perfect creature through other means.

As a result, the next day, this person was stripped of his deputy position for misconduct and sent to a remote and impoverished mountain area to become the magistrate. However, before he could take office, his car veered off the road on the way there, plummeting into a ravine, leaving no corpse to be found.

Even though such occurrences were common, to those ingrained in the intricacies of officialdom, it was as if the man had died by Rose’s hand.

Rose was the Black Widow, her entire being laced with lethal poison. Whoever dared to touch her would die. A beautiful woman might be alluring, but one still needed a life to enjoy her charms.

Rose stood there, holding a glass of red wine, her phoenix eyes slowly sweeping over everyone seated there. Each person here was tied to the Wang Family and belonged to Wang Yanzhi’s faction. Should this group turn their backs on the Wang Family, unless the Wang Family possessed incredible power, their fate would be inevitably doomed to destruction.

After leaving the hospital, she instructed the Rose Society to gather all information on the officials related to the Wang Family, one by one inviting them to the private room for a meal.

Rose knew very well, destroying the Wang Family would be easy for Lu Tianxing, but some things simply had to be done. As the saying goes, it’s easier to deal with King Yan than a troublesome underling; these people were entangled in interests with the Wang Family and what needed to be done was to make these officials turn against them. If they did not, even if the Wang Family were eradicated, Lu Tianxing would likely have to flee to the ends of the earth, for, as the adage says, taking away a person’s livelihood is like killing their parents. By destroying the Wang Family, Lu Tianxing would effectively be cutting off these people’s financial avenues, and it would be strange indeed if they did not seek revenge on Lu Tianxing, no doubt wanting to find him and exact retribution by any means necessary.

Her gaze scanning the group, Rose took a light sip of her wine and slowly began, ”The reason I’ve gone to the trouble of gathering everyone here today, of course, is that I wanted to meet and bond with you all, and naturally, there’s a small matter for which I hope to have everyone’s assistance.”

”What matter is it, Miss Rose? If it’s within our capabilities, we won’t refuse,” a man in his fifties promptly responded.

”Miss Rose, there’s no need to be circumspect. By saying that, are you not slapping our faces, showing us disdain?”

”Indeed, Miss Rose, if there’s anything you need us to do, just say the word. As long as it’s within our power, we’ll follow through without refusal, through thick and thin.”

The others chimed in one after another, their faces adorned with complimentary smiles. Those who could sit here were all cunning individuals. As long as the Rose Society did not vanish from Modu, did not fall, Rose was not someone they could afford to offend. Moreover, having the Rose Society around reduced their burden significantly; after all, unlike other gangs that dabble in everything, doing all sorts of dealings, it spared them much trouble—these were the achievements they needed for their promotions.

Hearing their words, a smile flickered on Rose’s lips as she said calmly, ”Actually, this matter is very simple for all of you. It’s about making it clear where you stand with the Wang Family. No matter what the Wang Family asks of you over the phone, I hope everyone present will neither pick up nor listen, but simply ignore them completely.”

”What! Miss Rose, are you kidding?”

Hearing Rose’s words, everyone lifted their heads in shock, staring at her. They had assumed Rose was merely expecting them to turn a blind eye to the activities of the Rose Society, but they never imagined Rose would actually ask them to act against the Wang Family.

The Wang Family, one of Modu’s powerful clans rumored to have connections in Beijing, with Wang Yanzhi positioned as the vice-mayor of Modu. Next year, during the election, he was expected to become Modu’s new mayor without any hitch. Choosing to offend the Wang Family at this time was an extremely unwise decision.

Moreover, who knew whether the Wang Family held any leverage over them? If Wang Yanzhi were to settle scores later on, they would be in deep trouble, facing dire consequences if not death.

Those who initially thumped their chests, guaranteeing their assistance, now clamped their mouths shut, their complexions shifting uncertainly. By choosing to help Rose, they were antagonizing the Wang Family, and if Rose could not topple the Wang Family, they would end up being buried alongside the Rose Society.

To help the Wang Family meant to incur the wrath of Rose, and who knew what madness this woman might resort to when push came to shove.

Caught in a dilemma, everyone faced a tough choice: stand with the right side for smooth sailing; stand with the wrong side, and meet with certain doom.

Rose’s face bore a smile, and she was in no rush. She gently sipped her wine, her fingers rhythmically tapping on the table’s surface, and her low voice caused the mood in the entire private room to grow heavy.

”Miss Rose, I’m sorry but I’m unable to help with this matter. If there’s nothing else, I must take my leave.”

The first to stand was a man in his forties named Lou Ping. He held a key position in the government, and the Wang Family gave him a hefty ”tribute” every year. If he helped Rose, where would he get his money in the future?

Besides, the Rose Society was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river—hardly able to save itself. Who knew if it would be destroyed one day? The support of the Wang Family was more tangible, and Wang Yanzhi was the hottest candidate in the competition for the mayoral seat. As long as he could align himself with Wang Yanzhi, his future promotion was almost guaranteed.

”Director Lou, wait a moment.”

Rose called out to stop Lou Ping, her gaze sweeping over the others as she said indifferently, ”Is this what all of you are thinking? Then don’t blame me for not warning you. If you walk out of this private room, don’t blame me for being ruthless. These materials will be clearly and conspicuously placed in the offices of the Discipline Inspection Commission.”

Rose smiled faintly, clapped her hands, and the woman standing behind her immediately came forward, placing a document bag on the table.

”Before you all leave, I suggest you take a look at this. If you still want to leave after that, I will not stop you.”

Rose picked up the document bag, tossed it beside Lou Ping, picked up a glass of red wine, and gently swirled it, the corners of her mouth always bearing a faint smile as if she had everything under control.

Lou Ping, without any hesitation, opened the document bag. The moment he saw the documents inside, his face instantly darkened. After carefully looking through it to find his own information, he passed the document bag to the others.

Each person found their own information in it.

The more they read, the more unpredictable their expressions became—first grim, then angry, followed by pale faces, slumping into their chairs, sweating profusely, and continuously wiping away the sweat.

”Huangfu Meigui, what are you trying to imply?” Lou Ping slammed the materials onto the table and said in a deep voice.

”I’m not implying anything, just letting everyone see. I’m very democratic, you can choose to leave or stay. Of course, these are just photocopies. If you choose to leave, I can’t guarantee where these documents might end up, and you will bear the consequences,” said Rose with a slight upturn of her mouth, smiling faintly.

All their faces changed wildly. They weren’t fools to have reached such high positions of power. They knew exactly where these documents could end up—on the Discipline Inspection Commission’s desk. Once that happened, their careers would be over. Their political adversaries would not hesitate to deliver a fatal blow.

”In the world of officials, few have clean slates. Although not committing outrageous wrongdoings, they aren’t clean either. If these documents fall into the hands of the Discipline Inspection Commission, their careers would be thoroughly finished, and their political enemies would not mind dealing them a deadly blow.”

”Miss Rose, may I be so bold as to ask why you are determined to destroy the Wang Family? As far as I know, the Wang Family and Rose Society have always kept to their own affairs,” said Lou Ping in a heavy voice.

”Keeping to our own affairs? That was in the past. The Wang Family actually wanted to kill my man this time, and naturally, they have made themselves enemies of the Rose Society. I won’t rest easy until the Wang Family is destroyed,” said Rose, her lips curling into a bloodthirsty smile.

”What! Miss Rose, you have a man?”

”You must be joking!”

All were stupefied by the news, struggling to believe it. They had never heard of Rose having a man. Although Rose had previously told Ye Futu that Lu Tianxing was her man, only a few knew of this, and Ye Futu wouldn’t broadcast such information; therefore, it was natural these people were unaware.

Hearing now that Rose had a man was akin to a bolt from the blue for them, leaving everyone dazed and unable to recover for a long while.

Lou Ping said with a wry smile, ”Miss Rose, are you acting on a rash impulse to avenge your hero? But if we help you, can you guarantee these materials won’t be leaked?”

Upon hearing Lou Ping’s words, the others looked at Rose. If they helped her and she turned on them at the last moment, sending them to prison, what would they do then?

”Everyone, do you really see me, Rose, as that kind of person? As long as you do as I say, I guarantee these documents will disappear forever and never resurface,” said Rose with a smile.

Burning bridges was the last resort. As long as she had control over these people, the power of the Rose Society in Modu would greatly increase. She wouldn’t engage in self-destructive behavior like destroying bridges.
