章節 14: Dumbfounded Crowd
編輯: Henyee Translations
"I want to see who has the guts to say that he can rule the world like a god." A deep voice echoed in from outside the door.
Xiang Wan's heart leaped with joy and anticipation as she looked towards the entrance.
"Who's playing tricks? Come out if you dare!" Fu Shan looked around vigilantly.
"That's right, that's right. I warn you not to meddle in other people's business. Get lost as far as you can!" Huo Song chimed in, trying to exert authority.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wan shot Huo Song with a sympathetic look. She hadn't encountered many people who could push themselves to the edge of death like him. It was truly eye-opening!
"It's me!" Yang Heng walked in with Old Zhang.
It turned out that when Old Zhang saw that the situation was about to go out of control, he quickly followed their pre-arranged plan and quietly slipped out to get reinforcements while they were arguing!
The commotion by the door caught everyone's attention, and they all looked over.
At first glance, this wasn't too remarkable, but it sent Fu Shan's heart racing.
"Ch… Chief?" Fu Shan instantly felt his blood freeze.
'What's the chief doing here?'
Could it be that the woman brought him? How was that possible?
Huo Song's mind was filled with question marks. He instantly lost the arrogant demeanor he had a moment ago and trembled, too scared to speak up.
"What's the matter? Do you have a problem with me being here? I didn't know we had scums like you in Xiang Jiang!" Yang Heng glared at the three of them.
"Chief, what are you talking about? We're just doing our job!" Fu Shan wiped the sweat off his forehead and said respectfully.
Huo Song was stunned when he heard Fu Shan called him Chief.
Could someone please explain to him why the chief was personally involved in a wealthy girl's matter???
Wasn't she just an orphan who had just returned to the country? How did she know the chief? And they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"I don't think it's that simple. Didn't you just try to kick me out a moment ago?" Yang Heng's eyes emitted a chilling glint, piercing straight toward Huo Song.
Huo Song suddenly felt a cold shiver down his spine and cowered behind Fu Shan.
"It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. We were just fooling around with this lady earlier. We were just having a little fun!" Fu Shan made up his mind not to back down. After all, they did not have any evidence. Whether it was black or white, he still has the final say. With three against one, their odds were still in their favor.
"You sure know how to distort the truth! You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" She didn't expect them to deny it!
"Miss, you've misunderstood! We were truly just… practicing a play with you." Fu Shan hurriedly explained.
"That's right, that's right! We were rehearsing a play for a competition in our factory! We just couldn't help but treat Miss Xiang as our opponent!" The Huo Song couple chimed in.
"… Even if you're not guilty, I can make you guilty… Be good and surrender quietly… Here, I am the god…" Fragmented phrases from the recorded voice reached everyone's ears.
When Fu Shan heard the voice from the recording, he felt his world go dark. He hadn't expected Xiang Wan to have an ace up her sleeve!
Huo Song and Liu Lu sat on the ground with ashen faces.
"Do you still have anything to say now? You dare to stir up trouble in front of me! If I don't teach you a lesson today, my surname isn't Yang!" Yang Heng was infuriated by their denial, but luckily, Xiang Wan had prepared well, which both surprised and impressed him.
"It's my fault for not grasping the true situation. I apologize to Miss Xiang!" Fu Shan hastily declared, almost ready to kneel before her. He wanted to slap himself.
Huo Song and his wife were struck dumb by the sudden turn of events, sitting in a daze without uttering a word.
Seeing their silence, Fu Shan tried to appease Xiang Wan, "Miss Xiang, do you have any requirements concerning this house?"
"I don't want to ask much. I just want to take back the house my grandfather left me," she continued. "But considering they've been living here for so many years, as long as they compensate me for the years of rent, it will be fine."
Just a second ago, Fu Shan was still thinking that this young lady was rather naive. She didn't even know how to ask for more when she had someone backing her up. She was too innocent!
The next moment, my goodness, her request nearly scared him to death!
"Well, that won't do! How about this? In addition to the years of rent, I'll make them compensate you for emotional distress, and I'll have them restore the house to its original state. What do you think?" Fu Shan had grown to detest Huo Song by this point and wished he could skin him alive.
"Then let's proceed according to Captain Fu's suggestion!" Xiang Wan sighed in relief.
