CHAPTER 542: CHAPTER 542: UNPARALLELED WRATH

Just as Chen Bin was about to press Ma Juan beneath him, the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was Xu Ruoxuan calling, he ultimately chose to pick it up.

"Sis, what’s the matter this late?"

Xu Ruoxuan’s voice came through, choking with sobs, "Brother, come to my house quickly, hurry!"

"What happened?"

"Come, you’ll understand once you’re here!"

Detecting that something was wrong from her tone, Chen Bin reluctantly replied.

"Alright, I’ll be there immediately."

After hanging up, Chen Bin could only look apologetically at Ma Juan.

"Xiao Juan, I’m really sorry, something urgent came up."

Sighing, Ma Juan didn’t say much.

"Go ahead and handle it," she replied.

Chen Bin couldn’t afford to care too much and drove straight to Xu Ruoxuan’s house.

As soon as he entered, Xu Ruoxuan threw herself into his arms, sobbing even harder.

"Sis, don’t cry for now. What happened exactly?"

Chen Bin held Xu Ruoxuan tightly in his arms, comforting her softly.

After a long while, her emotions finally began to stabilize.

She looked up at Chen Bin, her beautiful face filled with panic.

"I... I was almost forced just now."

Hearing this, Chen Bin’s heart jumped in shock.

He hurriedly asked, "Who? Who would dare?"

"It was Wei Xichun!"

Xu Ruoxuan immediately recounted what had transpired.

Close to the end of her workday, Wei Xichun had called her.

He said there was some work-related matter he wanted to discuss and invited Xu Ruoxuan to dinner.

Without giving it much thought, she agreed.

Xu Ruoxuan had been working at her current position for many years, unwilling to resign herself to retiring without progress.

Given that Wei Xichun was the provincial organization department’s executive deputy minister, such high-ranking officials had to be treated seriously.

But as soon as she entered the private room in the hotel, Wei Xichun started groping her.

Suppressing her disgust, Xu Ruoxuan feigned interest and began discussing work matters with him.

But once Wei Xichun got drunk, his true nature revealed itself, and he tried to act on his impulses right there in the room.

Xu Ruoxuan struggled to break free before taking a cab home.

The more she thought about it afterward, the more terrified she became, prompting her to call Chen Bin.

After hearing the whole story, Chen Bin chastised her angrily out of frustration.

"Are you out of your mind? Wei Xichun is a notorious pervert in the province, and you actually went to dinner with him."

Tearfully, Xu Ruoxuan looked utterly aggrieved.

"But I didn’t know at all!"

Sighing, Chen Bin took her over to the sofa and sat her down.

"Even if you didn’t know what kind of person Wei Xichun was, you should understand that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. You barely interact with him—why do you think he invited you to dinner?"

"I thought... I..."

"Alright, you’re over forty now. After so many years in the political arena, you should know how these things work. Don’t be so naive anymore."

Looking pitiful, Xu Ruoxuan nodded like a wronged child.

"I understand now. I won’t ever do this again."

To be honest, she had already noticed Wei Xichun’s intentions during their interactions.

However, she’d held onto a sliver of hope, never expecting him to escalate things forcefully.

Lightly patting Xu Ruoxuan’s delicate back, Chen Bin muttered under his breath.

"Wei Xichun, you son of a bitch. Dare to touch my woman? I’ll destroy you!"

Xu Ruoxuan quickly warned him, "Brother, he’s a high-ranking official. You’d better not act recklessly."

"Don’t worry. I won’t have a direct confrontation, but I’ll make sure that old bastard pays the price! He’ll know that bullying my woman comes with consequences!"

Xu Ruoxuan felt deeply moved hearing this.

She curled up against Chen Bin, her beautiful face filled with happiness.

"Brother, I love you."

Chen Bin kissed her forehead gently and said.

"Sis, don’t be careless again. I really don’t want you getting hurt."

"Alright, I know I was wrong this time. I’ll never act like that again."

Pinching Xu Ruoxuan’s cheek, Chen Bin carried her into the bedroom.

After placing her on the bed, he lay down to rest.

For the next few days, Chen Bin kept brainstorming ways to deal with Wei Xichun.

When he felt at a loss, Kong Shiyu called him, inviting him over for dinner.

Chen Bin planned to continue his affair with the mother-daughter duo, but Kong Shiyu’s child wouldn’t stop crying.

With the nanny off for the evening due to temporary issues, Kong Shiyu naturally had to shoulder the responsibilities of motherhood.

Later that night, in the master bedroom, Chen Bin undressed and climbed into bed.

As his hand wandered across Hao Wenjing’s body, he noticed she looked troubled, clearly absent-minded.

He asked, "What’s wrong?"

Sighing, Hao Wenjing hesitated and seemed unwilling to speak.

Chen Bin grew uneasy, quickly sitting up in bed.

"Don’t tell me Li Lu found out about us?"

"No, it’s not that. It’s just... there’s something I’m not sure whether to share because I’m afraid you’ll get mad."

"Tell me; I’m not the petty type."

Leaning against Chen Bin’s shoulder, Hao Wenjing began crying outright.

"I... Last night, I almost got forced by Wei Xichun."

"What happened exactly?"

Hao Wenjing then recounted the whole story.

Her experience was similar to Xu Ruoxuan’s—they were both invited to dinner by Wei Xichun and nearly assaulted.

But Hao Wenjing, being more cautious, fled as soon as she detected something amiss.

She managed to avoid significant harm.

Punching the bed in anger, Chen Bin was seething with rage.

"Damn it, this old asshole really has guts!"

First Xu Ruoxuan, now Hao Wenjing.

Chen Bin guessed there were likely more victims.

People like Wei Xichun deserved to be completely ruined.

Frowning, Hao Wenjing seemed unsure.

"Should I tell Li Lu about this and have him put Wei Xichun in his place?"

After thinking it over, Chen Bin finally shook his head.

"I wouldn’t suggest that. The saying ’strike a snake at its seven-inch weak spot’ applies here. Without evidence, even if Li Lu wanted to take him down, it wouldn’t hurt him much, and the effort might backfire."

"So you’re saying we should just let this go?"

"Of course not. I’ve got a plan to make him lose his position and retire from politics for good."

"What plan?"

Hao Wenjing seemed anxious but quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Maybe we should leave it alone. I didn’t suffer much anyway. Wei Xichun holds a powerful position, and his connections are intricate. I wouldn’t want this to jeopardize your future."

Gently caressing her White Jade Peak, Chen Bin smiled.

"Don’t worry about that. I never take risks lightly. I can guarantee that once Wei Xichun is ruined, he won’t even figure out who was behind it."

These words filled Hao Wenjing with joy, and she grinned.

"Master, I always knew you were the best. This time, Wei Xichun is definitely done for!"
