“Stop yelling, no one is coming to save you no matter even if you scream your lungs out! My people are all outside now,” said Xiang Wan, glancing at him before continuing, “This house was entrusted to the Huo family 14 years ago. You’ve been living here for more than ten years, let’s assume 12 years. If we calculate based on the market price, you owe me 6,000 yuan. And mind you, that’s already a discounted rate! Not too expensive, right?”

Ling Yun chimed in, “That’s not all. Given the location of this house, it costs at least 50 yuan a month.”

Ling Yun wasn’t wrong. Given Xiang Yuan’s location and size, it would have been worth 40 to 50 yuan several years ago. Asking for 50 yuan was going easy on him.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Wan put on an expression that seemed to say, ‘See how considerate I am? I’m even saving you money!’

Huo Song struggled to suppress his inner rage and calmly said to Xiang Wan, “Miss, I believe there must be a misunderstanding between us. I’ve always lived here and the people around here know me. If you’re saying this house doesn’t belong to me, please provide evidence. While I might not be very influential, I still have some connections in Xiang Jiang. It won’t be good for you if this matter gets out.”

Then, Huo Song tried his best to persuade her again. “I’m a grown man, so I don’t mind much. I am confident in my innocence. As for you, a young lady being arrested by the police wouldn’t sound nice.”

“You old fart, you even know how to threaten people now? I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you!” Before Xiang Wan could respond, Chu Ying rolled up her sleeves and angrily pointed at Huo Song, cursing him loudly.

Having a background is so impressive, huh? If I reveal my family background, you’d be scared out of your wits long ago!

Chu Ying hated to see anyone bully Xiang Wan, especially in her presence. This Huo Song was truly shameless, and she was determined to have her father apprehend him!

Huo Song stared at the defiant tomboy before him, his lips quivering in anger. He couldn’t manage to utter a word for a while.

“Don’t get too worked up. If you get angry and drop dead, no one will compensate me. Originally, I thought that if we could discuss this properly, I could give you some more time. But since you’re being so unreasonable, don’t blame me,” Xiang Wan said, raising her gaze and smiling at Huo Song and his wife.

As people in the hall looked at Xiang Wan’s smile, bright and radiant like the sun in spring, they were momentarily entranced.

Huo Song and his wife watched Xiang Wan’s smile, feeling a chill run down their spines as if a demon had grasped their throats. “What are you going to do?” they asked.

“What can a weak woman like me do? I want to seek justice. Since you’re not willing to return the house or pay for it, then we’ll have to take matters into our own hands,” Xiang Wan said, turning slightly to make room for Ling Yun behind her. “Take everything valuable from this house, leave nothing behind!”

Originally, Xiang Wan had planned to destroy all the hard work Huo Song and his wife had put into the house. However, she changed her mind. While she didn’t care for the items inside, giving some compensation to others was still acceptable.

As soon as Xiang Wan finished speaking, Ling Yun signaled his brothers behind him to start moving things. He strode towards Huo Song to prevent any desperate struggle.

“You can’t do this! Stop!”

“Don’t come any closer, don’t come! I’ll call the police! I’m calling the police!”

Terrified, Huo Song tried to evade Ling Yun’s outstretched hand, but how could a good-for-nothing like him resist? Ling Yun’s grasp quickly subdued him.

Huo Song glared viciously at Xiang Wan and turned his head to plead with the employees behind him in a desperate struggle, shouting, “I beseech all of you to help me! Once I become the factory manager, I’ll repay you all for this favor. I plan to hire workers’ family members at the factory, so everyone can join!”

Huo Song, gasping for breath from exhaustion, looked at his employees with hope in his eyes.

But there was no one to be found. Liu Lu was the only one being held down by one of Ling Yun’s brothers and was struggling wildly on the ground.

It turned out that before Huo Song was apprehended, the group of workers had quietly left the Huo family’s residence.

Facing a major crisis, they each took their paths, of course. They couldn’t risk their lives just because Huo Song made a few grand promises!

They were no fools. The people brought by the opposing side had the skills, capable of lifting heavy burdens with just a hand. Was that something ordinary people could resist? Not. Survival was the priority, and who cared if Huo Song was going to become a factory manager?

Huo Song saw that there was no one behind him, and he was dumbfounded. He nearly spat out blood in astonishment. What a bunch of ingrates!

All his past care and provisions for these people, all the food and drinks he had given them, the sweet words he had spoken. And where were those people now? Running faster than rabbits!

They were all ungrateful wolf cubs!

Bah!

With no more strength to resist, Huo Song let go of his struggling efforts and allowed Ling Yun to drag him to sit helplessly on the ground.
