Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1530: Chapter 1523: The Storm Rises Again

As Bai Zhiqing’s words fell, the entire venue became unusually lively, and all the reporters completely forgot about the rules of questioning, as they each opened their mouths to ask Bai Zhiqing questions.

”Mr. Bai, is what you said true? Will you really make a one-time donation of ten billion for charity?”

”Mr. Bai, how can you guarantee that this ten billion will be used appropriately, and not like some other events where money is used for ~supporting~ women and buying luxury cars? What measures do you have in place to prevent this?”

”Mr. Bai, what are the application standards for this charity foundation? Are there specific criteria?”

”Mr. Bai...”

”Mr. Bai...”

Hearing the noisy voices throughout the venue, Bai Zhiqing’s voice resounded again: ”Everyone, please quiet down. I know you have a lot of questions, but please calm down, and I will address these issues one by one.”

With Bai Zhiqing’s voice falling, the hall gradually quieted down. Everyone’s gaze was focused on Bai Zhiqing, with laptops on their laps, ready to record her words. A one-time donation of ten billion for charity is undoubtedly shocking news throughout China, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see it on the news broadcast.

Seeing the surroundings quiet down, Bai Zhiqing then continued: ”Everyone knows my character. Almost every year, I donate a considerable amount of money to charity, not for personal fame. It’s easy to create a facade of a philanthropist, but for me, it’s not necessary, and I don’t lack this identity. I don’t have much power; I can only do my best to change everything. The foundation is called the Hope Charity Foundation, aiming to bring hope to others. Furthermore, concerning the ten billion charity funds, Bai’s Group will indeed provide it all at once, and a special bank account will be set up, with all funds directly allocated for charity.”

”We will have representatives engaged with banking departments about this matter, so everyone can rest assured. After negotiations, we will make an announcement. Regarding fund use, it will function similarly to the Rose Charity Foundation. The Hope Charity Foundation will establish a dedicated website displaying the ten billion funds. Each expense will be recorded on the website, allowing data queries for all netizens to check, ensuring transparency and preventing illegal appropriation.”

”Anyone needing help can also register on the website to apply for the Hope Foundation’s aid. We will have personnel reviewing applications, and cross-checking by netizens to ensure funds are used appropriately and not deceitfully. Moreover, we will have dedicated staff visiting needy children in impoverished areas across China. The Hope Charity Foundation will become independent from Bai’s Group and will be managed by Ms. Luan Hongyue, who will be our first-generation image ambassador, representing all of us at Bai’s Group in China, assisting those in need.”

While speaking, Bai Zhiqing pointed her finger towards Luan Hongyue beside her.

”Wow!”

Seeing this scene, the crowd was once again in an uproar. They originally thought that Luan Hongyue was merely accompanying Bai Zhiqing. They had never imagined that Luan Hongyue was actually to be the future president of the Hope Charity Foundation, managing the ten billion funds.

After a brief silence, everyone’s gaze turned towards Luan Hongyue, bombarding her with a barrage of tricky questions, hoping to extract some information from her.

Unfortunately, Luan Hongyue’s high emotional intelligence was beyond their imagination. All questions thrown at her were returned flawlessly, leaving no faults to be found.

Lu Tianxing sat below, looking at Luan Hongyue, Bai Zhiqing, even Lin Yafei, and Lin Qianru as they faced the reporters’ successive bombardments, yawning with boredom. This was why he was unwilling to become the chairman of Bai’s Group. This was something Bai Zhiqing and the others had long been accustomed to. If it were him listening to these tricky questions, he would have long been unable to restrain himself, wanting to slap someone there and then.

Meanwhile, as Bai’s Group’s news conference was in full swing, in a luxury ward of a private hospital in Modu, Sun Xiong was lying on a broad hospital bed with his legs spread, eyes closed, face lit with satisfaction, occasionally letting out comfortable sounds.

A nurse was riding on him, evidently engaged in some sort of activity...

Who knows how long it took, but both Sun Xiong and the woman trembled simultaneously, after which she seemed to go boneless, collapsing onto Sun Xiong with her body trembling slightly and her breath turning rapid.

Sun Xiong did not care about the woman’s state, casually instructing, ”Continue, clean it thoroughly for me.”

Upon hearing Sun Xiong’s words, the woman slowly opened her eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing within them, though she dared not voice it. Being a nurse in a luxurious VIP ward, she was already used to all this, especially since Sun Xiong was a wealthy man, money was never an issue.

The woman visually sulked at Sun Xiong without speaking, acting according to his instructions, slowly bending down...

Sun Xiong’s face beamed with a supremely pleasant expression, his gaze subconsciously falling upon the opposite television. At this moment, coverage of the Bai’s Group’s news conference was playing. Observing this scene, Sun Xiong’s pleasant smile faded, replaced by a chilling murderous intent.

Particularly when he saw Bai Zhiqing confidently countering the Jiulang Net reporter, Sun Xiong’s expression turned more unsightly, for this reporter was under his pay, aimed at embarrassing Bai Zhiqing at the conference, leaving her at a loss, ideally bringing disgrace to Bai’s Group. After all, Bai Zhiqing was Lu Tianxing’s woman; while he could not currently confront Lu Tianxing, he believed he could handle Bai Zhiqing. Even if the reporter was caught by Lu Tianxing, there wouldn’t be direct evidence linking back to him.

Yet, who would have thought Bai Zhiqing would be so assertive and forceful, leaving that reporter speechless, thus dampening Sun Xiong’s previously uplifted spirits significantly.

”Lu Tianxing, yesterday’s humiliation will remain in my heart forever. I will make you regret it; you will not die without a burial place. If I do not kill you, I swear not to be a man.”

An alarming intent to kill erupted from Sun Xiong’s body, eyes filled with a bone-deep hatred. The Northern Sun Family’s first son was compelled to kneel in apology, and even cripple himself. If this were to spread, he’d be a laughing stock across the North, even throughout all of China.

”Lu Tianxing, I will make you repay yesterday’s shame. Aren’t you arrogant? I will make you kneel on the ground like a dog to plea with me. I will make you leave no trace even in death.”

The murderous intent on Sun Xiong’s face grew thicker, his gaze fixated on Bai Zhiqing, Luan Hongyue, Lin Yafei, Lin Qianru as they appeared one by one on the television, with a fiery glint in his eyes. Especially when he saw Luan Hongyue, Sun Xiong’s expression froze for a moment as if recalling something before turning sinister as his opportunity to render Lu Tianxing helpless arrived.

Sun Xiong wasn’t the only one watching today’s event; far away in Jiangnan, the Luan Family was doing the same.

Currently, Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e were staring intently at the television screen, faces bearing signs of astonishment coupled with irrepressible excitement and nearly uncontainable joy.

Because they saw Luan Hongyue on the television.

Since Luan Hongyue had been rescued by Lu Tianxing from the Jiang Family and vanished from Jiangnan, they had been secretly looking for Luan Hongyue, hoping to utilize Luan Hongyue’s connection to link with Lu Tianxing. In this way, the Luan Family could soar and become one of the most powerful family heads in Jiangnan.

However, Luan Hongyue seemed to have vanished into thin air, and they couldn’t find her, causing immense anger in their hearts, yet they were helpless.

Later, as news spread about Elder Lu’s supposed death, Lu Tianxing’s fallout with the Lu Family, and the Yang and Tang families allying against Lu’s Family, they gave up searching for Luan Hongyue. Internally, they were secretly relieved, glad they hadn’t found the scourge, Luan Hongyue; otherwise, being implicated because of her would be a loss for the Luan Family.

If that were truly the case, Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e wouldn’t care about Luan Hongyue’s life or death. In their minds, she was a living money tree. But when it couldn’t bring fortune and even invited disaster, they didn’t hesitate to cut down that tree.

However, Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e never expected the situation would reverse so quickly. Elder Lu wasn’t dead; he faked his death to lure the Yang and Tang families. In the Lu Family’s battle, the Yang and Tang families were completely defeated, and Elder Lu showed terrifying strength, individually slaying three Late Stage Mythical figures, with Lu Tianxing also gaining significant fame.

Upon hearing this news, Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu’e regretted deeply. Had they known, they would have exhausted all resources to find Luan Hongyue, as leveraging her to connect with Lu Tianxing would have resulted in multifold returns on any investment.
