Chapter 46: The War of Women

Wei Zi boarded the Azure Dragon war-chariot, with Lawyer Zeng following closely behind. The enforcers drove their own chariots in her wake. Not stopping there, Wei Zi had also hired the most brutal and heavy-handed moving company available, because next, she intended to wage an all-out war against He Xiaohe inside the villa.

Wei Zi opened the cabinet inside the chariot, retrieved a therapeutic device, and applied it to her face. She needed to launch her attack in flawless condition, making He Xiaohe, Wei Xuan, and Wei Qing so furious that they would lose their minds entirely!

Seeing Wei Zi like this, Lawyer Zeng felt a growing sense of awe and dread toward her.

It sounded absurd—as a top-tier attorney, what kind of people had he not laid eyes on? Yet, after witnessing everything Wei Zi had orchestrated, he could only feel profound admiration!

She was ruthless, cold-blooded, and merciless!

At times, he even felt a shudder of fear. No matter what, Wei Dongming was still Wei Zi’s biological father, yet he was being treated this way by his own daughter. After today, explosive headlines such as "Former Cheng Corporation CEO Wei Dongming is a Parasitic Social Climber" and "Abusing Daughter for the Sake of Inheriting Property" would undoubtedly plummet Wei Dongming's reputation into the abyss across the imperial capital!

Wei Dongming would likely lose everything he possessed!

Moreover, if what Wei Zi claimed was true, even the judicial authorities would track down Wei Dongming to investigate whether he had genuinely murdered for wealth, driven his father-in-law to an early grave, and attempted to kidnap his own daughter. While such allegations might not immediately yield solid evidence, given General Xing’s methods, detaining Wei Dongming for forty-eight hours of investigation would be effortless.

Once subjected to that investigation, Wei Dongming’s life would be utterly and permanently ruined!

The Azure Dragon war-chariot deliberately kept its speed suppressed. By the time they arrived at the villa, Wei Zi’s facial injury had completely healed, restoring her skin to the luster of white porcelain—delicate, smooth, and as tender as if it could drip water at the slightest pinch.

Under the protection of a phalanx of enforcers, Wei Zi stepped into the villa. The front gates had not yet been changed, so Wei Zi’s biometric authorization still unlocked them easily.

He Xiaohe, Wei Xuan, and Wei Qing had long been braced for this confrontation. In fact, Wei Qing had even gone out of her way to invite a group of enforcers beforehand.

Because Wei Qing was also a practitioner of the mystic arts, having awakened her powers two years earlier than Wei Zi, yet her current strength was roughly on par with Wei Zi's!

"Wei Zi, what are you trying to do? I am your stepmother! Are you really going to chase us out? How can you be so cruel? Enforcer officers, you must uphold justice for me!" He Xiaohe wept bitterly, her face tear-streaked. She was filled with endless regret now—why on earth had she bothered getting hair extensions and dental implants? Otherwise, she could have wailed about how Wei Zi had abused her. Causing a scene now would likely be dismissed as completely groundless fabrication, and those enforcers looked thoroughly unapproachable.

However, a strict hierarchy existed even among the enforcers. The unit accompanying Wei Zi had been personally requested by Xing Haotian, essentially acting as inspectors over the regular enforcers. The moment the other group of enforcers caught sight of them, they instantly snapped to attention, straightened their postures, and saluted respectfully.

As this scene registered in the eyes of He Xiaohe and her two daughters, it felt like a sudden bolt of thunder out of nowhere.

"Th-this... how is this possible?" He Xiaohe widened her eyes in disbelief. The situation had completely slipped out of their control. The enforcers she had invited actually ranked lower than the ones accompanying her stepdaughter?

"There is nothing impossible about it. Furthermore, I am well-versed in the law. Enforcer officers, these are my property deeds and land titles. This villa rightfully belongs to me. It was this woman who stole a nest belonging to another, acting as a mistress to wreck my family and usurp my home. Surely I have the legal right to take back what is mine!" Wei Zi handed both the house deeds and land titles directly over to the enforcers.

The enforcers invited by Wei Qing took one look at the documents. Such official titles could not possibly be forged, and they quickly accepted the truth of Wei Zi's claims.

The enforcers shot furious glares at Wei Qing. This girl had made them lose an enormous amount of face right in front of their superiors. If the higher-ups chose to pursue the matter, they could easily be charged with abuse of authority.

"Since these documents are genuine, we will not linger here any longer!" The enforcers eager to slip away made ready to oil the bottoms of their feet and beat a hasty retreat.

"Enforcer officers, you can't just leave!" He Xiaohe was dumbfounded. These enforcers had been hired by Wei Qing at a staggering cost, burning through almost all of He Xiaohe’s private savings accumulated over the past few years, yet they were walking away without lifting a finger.

No matter how skilled He Xiaohe was at manipulating men, she remained woefully ignorant of the law. While enforcers were formidable entities whose deployment required substantial sums of money, that did not mean they would blindly help someone right or wrong notwithstanding; they only lent their support to the party in the right!

"No, you cannot leave! If you're leaving, refund my money! That was my hard-earned private savings!" He Xiaohe shrieked aloud. Wei Dongming had already lost his position as chairman; if she lost her private stash on top of that, who could she possibly rely on in the future?

"Mom, stop embarrassing yourself like this! Our family has endless wealth. This house belongs to us, and this bitch's money belongs to us as well! Wei Zi, you're nothing but a wild bastard child! Your mother was just a mistress who ruined someone else's happiness! Everything here is what you owe us, so you should be the one crawling out of here! You're an adult now, get out of this house!" Wei Qing shrieked furiously. She was merely a sheltered child raised in an ivory tower; consumed by rage at this moment, she had completely lost her rationality. Incapable of filtering her words through her brain, she could only resort to mindless screaming and abuse.

"Enforcer officers, don't let her deceive you, we are completely innocent!" Wei Xuan chimed in, weeping piteously as she put on a display of heartbreaking vulnerability. Yet, no matter how hard she tried to act, she could no longer move the enforcers in the slightest.

Having witnessed Wei Zi being slapped by Wei Dongming back at the Cheng Corporation earlier, they were acutely aware of the truth. They knew full well that this very woman, He Xiaohe, had historically subjected Wei Zi to severe abuse.

At that moment, they felt a profound sense of sorrow and sympathy for Wei Zi!

"I advise you not to waste your time crying right now. You'd better go pack your things instead—take whatever you can carry, lest I have everything thrown out onto the street. Of course, the jewelry and dowry left behind by my mother must remain untouched. Those items do not belong to you!" Wei Zi said through clenched teeth.

"No! Those things belong to me!" Hearing Wei Zi's words, He Xiaohe panicked and scrambled toward the stairs, desperate to rush up and protect her valuables.

She was wracked with bitter regret now. Why had she been so foolishly trusting of Wei Dongming? Why had she harbored such wishful thinking, believing that Wei Zi wouldn't be this ruthless, or that Wei Dongming would be able to keep Wei Zi under control?

If she had known beforehand—if she had only known—she would have taken the valuables and fled long ago! Those jewelry pieces were worth an absolute fortune!

However, Wei Zi had no intention of giving her the opportunity. Stepping forward swiftly, she grabbed He Xiaohe by the arm and violently hauled her down the staircase, sending her crashing hard onto the floor!

"Wei Zi, how dare you lay a hand on my mother?! You little b*tch, I told you—once you came back, I'd make you pay dearly!" Wei Qing flew into a rage, her hands flashing through an esoteric incantation seal before launching an attack directly toward Wei Zi!

A fist-sized earthen spike tore through the air straight at Wei Zi, its razor-sharp tip aiming dead for the center of Wei Zi's brows.

Hum...

Wei Zi’s mystic core surged into action, glowing runes fluttering into place as her hands wove through a rapid defensive seal. A translucent barrier of shimmering magic materialized around her.

Frost Shield!

"Bang!" The earthen spike collided heavily against the Frost Shield. In a single instant, both the Frost Shield and the earthen spike shattered and dissipated into nothingness.
