Chapter 4

Auteur: Luminance
“Who do you think you are? How dare you bully my fiancee? You’re asking to get killed!”

I did not look at him. I turned to look at the front desk clerk beside me and asked, “Are you sure that he’s Mr. Ludwig from Grandview Group?”

The front desk clerk looked smug and said confidently, “Of course, I’m sure! For the past year, he and Megan have personally told me to save the presidential suite for his friends every single time. There’s no way I’d mistake him.

“Plus, every single employee in this hotel knows who he is. What are you even doubting?”

I let out a cold laugh and looked back at Albert.

“From what I know, Mr. Ludwig from Grandview Group is still single. He doesn’t even have a girlfriend.”

Albert’s expression darkened. He stepped forward and punched me in the face.

“You’re looking for a fight, aren’t you? I am Mr. Ludwig! Some lowlife like you doesn’t deserve to know anything about my private life.

“I’m going to teach you a real lesson right now.”

Megan chimed in.

“That’s right! Make him find out what happens when he crosses me, the future owner of Grandview Group.”

Albert raised his fist and swung it at my face again.

My gaze turned cold.

I no longer hold back. I raised my hand and caught his wrist firmly before twisting it hard.

A faint cracking sound was heard.

Albert screamed in pain.

I pushed him, and he stumbled backward and crashed into Megan. The two of them fell to the floor together.

Albert went from embarrassed to furious. He got up and lunged at me again.

The security guards also stepped forward and fought me.

I fought back with a few well-executed strikes.

Albert was beaten black and blue. He could not fight back at all.

The scene descended into complete chaos.

Just then, a police car stopped at the hotel entrance, and several police officers quickly walked over.

“Everyone, stop! What’s going on here?”

I stopped fighting and shook out my wrists.

“Officer, we were in a mutual fight. Take us to the station.”

In the end, Albert, Megan, the security guards, the front desk clerk, and I were all taken into the police car.

Inside the interrogation room, Megan cried and insisted that I had started the fight.

The front desk clerk and the security guards all gave their testimonies. They dumped all the blame onto me.

Albert held his swollen face and angrily accused me of attempted murder.

The police officer frowned and looked at me.

Just as he was about to speak, I spoke first.

“No need to investigate. I confess.

“Just detain me.”

Everyone in the room was stunned.

The police officer was also surprised. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” I nodded.

The police officer stood up and prepared to take me to the holding cell.

I deliberately turned off my phone in front of Albert and his group. Then, I handed it over to the officer for safekeeping.

Albert glared at me with a smug look.

“You had it coming!”

Megan rolled her eyes at me and smirked triumphantly.

I looked at them and smiled silently. I raised my wrist and checked the time.

It was four in the evening.

There were still three hours until Albert’s press conference.

My detention period was three days.

The contract could be reprinted.

The samples could be remade.

But without my approval, none of it would matter.

Albert’s press conference would be a complete joke.

I was already starting to look forward to how he was going to clean up his own mess later.

    “That’s not all. She also worked with a supplier of low-quality ingredients. She took kickbacks and illegally made over seven hundred thousand dollars.“The evidence is right there. Grandview Group has officially filed a report with the authorities. We will make sure she faces every single legal consequence.”After hearing that, Megan’s legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the floor.Albert’s eyes darted around. He began to stir up the GreenSource Tech Group employees behind him.“Don’t listen to him! If GreenSource Tech Group goes under, every last one of you is out of a job!“Corbin did this to us. He cut off our way to make a living.“Everyone, come with me. We need to demand an answer from him!”Hundreds of GreenSource Tech Group employees were incited by him. They grew restless and began to approach me.I remained calm as I said, “Everyone, calm down. I also have a whistleblower report right here. Charles spent over a year digging to get this.“Albert had a gambling addi

    I smiled coldly. I was not afraid of him. I said indifferently, “Albert, I’ve hated ultimatums my whole life.“Do you want to play games? Fine. I’ll play with you.”With that, I hung up the phone.After work that evening, I had just driven my car up from the underground garage when a dense crowd of people immediately surrounded me.There were reporters from major media outlets. There were also over one hundred employees of GreenSource Tech Group holding signs.Albert and Megan stood at the very front.I pushed open the door and stepped out fearlessly. Everyone immediately crowded around me.“Mr. Ludwig, is it true that you secretly took photos of Ms. Lund?”“Why did you refuse to cooperate with GreenSource Tech Group and push them into a corner with no way out?”“Do you really feel no guilt at all when you see an old man kneeling on the ground?Albert seized the opportunity. He pointed at me, and he incited his employees to fight me.“This is him, Corbin Ludwig! He tries

    Victor’s words completely shattered Albert’s hope.“How is this possible? You’re actually Mr. Ludwig...”I ignored him. Instead, I turned to look at my assistant following behind me and ordered, “First, put together a special investigation team immediately. Go through every hotel under Grandview Group, especially Riviera’s branch.“Second, look into Megan. Find out how many people she has given special treatment to under my name since she was hired.“Third, every manager, security guard, and front desk worker at that Riviera hotel is to be fired on the spot. That includes the executives who hired Megan. Demote them and fine them according to company policy.“All staff involved in this debacle will be added to the industry blacklist. We will circulate their names across the entire hospitality sector. They’ll never be hired by any hotels again.”After saying this, I stopped looking at Albert and Megan. I walked straight toward the elevator.I had only just taken a couple of steps

    “Sign the contract with me right now!“The bank only gave me seven days without seeing a contract. If you mess around and delay signing again, I swear I’ll kill you.”I lowered my eyes and looked at the hand gripping my collar. I let out a cold snort.“Oh. Aren’t you Mr. Ludwig of Grandview Group? Why are you yelling about wanting to see him?”Upon hearing that, Albert froze. He became even angrier.“Don’t play dumb with me.“You recognized me already, yet you still didn’t call us out. You’ve been putting on an act from the very beginning. You deliberately messed with me, didn’t you?”The more he talked, the angrier he got. He raised his other fist and prepared to punch me in the face.My gaze turned sharp. I raised my hand, grabbed his wrist precisely, and twisted it hard.He winced in pain and immediately let go of my collar.I took a step back and adjusted my collar. I said in an indifferent and deliberate tone, “Mr. Zorn. Are you trying to start trouble in the Grandvi

    “Let’s go! The press conference is still on!”After I was locked in the holding cell, I actually found it to be a rare moment of relief.Ever since I turned eighteen, I had been handling the various affairs of Grandview Group.For ten whole years, I had worked like a hamster on a wheel.I ran non-stop without ever daring to rest.Without my phone, it allowed me to catch my breath.In the holding cell, I met a man named Charles Carroll.He was a forty-two-year-old senior reporter at a media company. He had been doing in-depth investigative journalism for nearly twenty years.As we communicated more, it turned out he had inside knowledge about Albert’s GreenSource Tech Group that I never even knew.At the same time, he also told me the reason why he had been brought in.His eight-year-old daughter had been diagnosed with acute leukemia. For two years, he poured every last dollar of his savings into her treatment and ran up a huge amount of debt.Just a few days ago, he final

It was an old woman’s voice.“May I ask who’s calling?”“Who’s this? Put Victor on the phone.”“Oh, I’m Victor’s mother. He just had emergency surgery for acute appendicitis. He’s too weak right now and has already gone to sleep.”“I need to talk to him about something really urgent.”Victor’s mother sighed.“I’m sorry, but he was given a painkiller shot. I can’t wake him up at all.”Alb
