13: Chapter 13 They still dare to come knocking!

"You!"

Wang Kaiming was about to say something more, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiaomeng rushed out from behind, swinging her designer bag in a full circle and smashing it right at Chen Hao.

"Chen Hao, you are such a scoundrel! You cheated and messed around with her, and we caught you red-handed. Let's see how you explain this!"

Wang Kaiming seemed to have unlocked a vital channel, reacting instantly, and roared, playing the victim first.

"That's right, you two were having an illicit affair! If you refuse to cooperate, I'll spread the word and ruin both your reputations!"

This pair of adulterers sang in unison. Clearly, they were the ones having the affair, yet now they were crying thief while being the thief, turning the tables and confusing right and wrong.

Sun Nana was almost crying, retorting in a childish voice, with her voice cracking slightly.

"I didn't! We are just ordinary colleagues; you can't wrongly accuse me!"

Chen Hao snatched the bag from Lin Xiaomeng and roared in anger.

"Lin Xiaomeng, don't push it too far! I warn you, don't force me to have a complete falling out with you. Show me the evidence of your affair!"

The reason Lin Xiaomeng struck first was that she hadn't told Vice President Wang the truth, making her guilty conscience act up. Hearing Chen Hao demand evidence, she instinctively panicked a little.

Wang Kaiming stubbornly refused to believe it, arguing unreasonably and attempting to preemptively confuse the issue.

"What evidence do you have? None! It was you having the affair that I discovered. I spared your reputation by not making it public; don't push your luck!"

"Once I expose this matter, I guarantee you will become notorious throughout the entire industry. Then let's see which company would dare hire you!"

Wang Kaiming's righteous demeanor made an outsider truly believe Chen Hao was at fault first. Even Vice President Wang thought so.

"Young man, you must take responsibility for your actions. The company didn't want to blow things up. Being caught having an affair and then assaulting someone—firing you is already showing great mercy. You had better be sensible, or you will suffer the consequences."

They were actually fabricating stories about him one after another.

Originally, Chen Hao did not want to release the video because Lin Xiaomeng was his girlfriend, a fact well-known in the business circle. Once the video was public, Chen Hao's status as a cuckold would be confirmed, and his reputation would also be affected.

But now that they were turning the tables and distorting facts, Chen Hao couldn't be blamed for what happened next!

"You forced me to do this!"

Chen Hao immediately took out his phone, opened the recording, and showed it to everyone.

"Who is really cheating? Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

In the video, the two intensely engaged individuals in the car were clearly Wang Kaiming and Lin Xiaomeng, performing an unspeakable act.

Wang Kaiming was stunned; he never expected Chen Hao to have recorded it.

Lin Xiaomeng was also stunned, feeling both ashamed and mortified, with nowhere to hide.

Vice President Wang Liguo was also bewildered. How did the situation reverse to make his nephew the one at fault?

"Give me the phone!"

Wang Kaiming lunged forward to snatch the phone. Chen Hao seized the opportunity and punched down with all his might. Wang Kaiming staggered several steps back, knocking over the dining table behind him.

Now his eyes were equally bruised.

"Chen Hao, you are going to ruin me by doing this!"

Lin Xiaomeng, furious, prepared to rush forward crazily.

Chen Hao was in a rage.

"Slap!"

A harsh slap landed on her face.

This slap released all of Chen Hao's pent-up frustration and dissatisfaction.

It also unleashed the anger Chen Hao had suppressed for a long time.

He and Lin Xiaomeng had met at the company and their relationship began there.

A year after the company was established and gradually regularized, the Human Resources Department was created to handle recruitment. When Lin Xiaomeng joined the company, she was still a shy, fresh female college graduate.

To this day, Chen Hao still remembered how timidly she greeted everyone.

"My name is Lin Xiaomeng. Please take care of me in the future."

Because Chen Hao was the Sales Champion and a star of the company, Lin Xiaomeng gradually became interested in him. After spending time together repeatedly, the two naturally got together.

They dated for three years, having been together for three years. They went through the most difficult early startup phase together. During that time, Chen Hao was utterly devoted to Lin Xiaomeng, treating her like she was too precious to melt or drop. He treated her much better than her own parents.

During the Lunar New Year last year, Chen Hao went to Lin Xiaomeng's hometown to meet her parents.

Faced with the exorbitant bride price of 880,000 yuan, Chen Hao did not shrink back. He agreed to her requirements, which included a two-bedroom apartment and a BMW car.

Chen Hao always believed that since Lin Xiaomeng had endured hardship with him when he had nothing, she was his wife through thick and thin. He was determined to succeed, make a name for himself, give her his whole heart, and grow old with Lin Xiaomeng.

Perhaps it was Chen Hao's excessive indulgence that made Lin Xiaomeng increasingly feel that his devotion was something she was entitled to.

In the end, Chen Hao's feelings didn't change; instead, it was Lin Xiaomeng whose eyes were dazzled by the glamorous world.

As the company sought to go public for financing, large amounts of capital and shareholders joined. Management changed repeatedly until Wang Liguo secured the position of Vice President, and the connected relative Wang Kaiming became the direct superior in the Sales Department. This led to Chen Hao and Lin Xiaomeng's romance ultimately developing into this situation.

Therefore, Chen Hao's slap expressed a man's backbone!

It also severed the marriage bond between Chen Hao and Lin Xiaomeng.

"So this is your reason for hitting someone?"

Police Station.

The police officer was impartially taking notes. Chen Hao explained the entire sequence of events, clarifying the whole story, and presented the video as proof of the two having an affair.

"I admit that hitting someone was my fault. I accept all punishments, but I absolutely will not apologize."

"My girlfriend cheated on me, and the company fired me without cause. I tried my best to avoid them, but they kept pestering me, refusing to let go, twisting the truth, and accusing me of cheating first. Wouldn't anyone in my position have been unable to restrain themselves from fighting back?"

While taking notes, the police officer expressed understanding.

"As a man, I can understand your feelings, but as an enforcer of the law, I must handle this officially. A fine of 500 yuan. Once you pay the administrative penalty, you can leave. Sign here."

After Chen Hao signed and paid the administrative fine, it was almost dark when he left the police station.

He checked his phone, and the WeChat group chat had exploded.

What Chen Hao feared had happened.

Lin Xiaomeng's affair with Wang Kaiming had already spread like wildfire throughout the company, thanks to Sun Nana.

The small group chats for the HR Department and Sales Department were all buzzing with discussion.

Some said Lin Xiaomeng was improper, others said Wang Kaiming was no good, and still others felt sorry for Chen Hao.

The rumor of him being cuckolded spread, turning the legend of the Sales Champion into an industry joke.

Chen Hao also cared about his reputation. His girlfriend Lin Xiaomeng cheating on him, making him a cuckold, and leading to his dismissal—this gossip had become fodder for employee conversations.

"This stain on my life is probably impossible to wash away."

Chen Hao quietly exited the company chat group; out of sight, out of mind. He couldn't stay in the company circle anymore.

Just as Chen Hao was about to hail a taxi to the night market, Sun Nana suddenly jumped out.

"Brother Hao!"

Her sudden appearance startled Chen Hao.

"Why are you still here?"

"I was waiting for you."

As she spoke, she instinctively linked her arm through Chen Hao's.

"I didn't know the reason for your resignation before. Now that I know, I must comfort you somehow."

"Come on, I'll treat you to drinks. Let's drown your sorrows in alcohol."
