Chapter 499: Chapter 499

Guo Lanxiang sneered, "Do you still think I'm falsely accusing Wei Family Restaurant? We don't even know each other, alright? Now, it's time to pay up, five million, no less!"

Otherwise, I'll go find journalists and have them expose this whole affair, letting everyone know just how despicable Wei Family Restaurant really is! By then, your losses will be far more than just five million!"

Even in the presence of the security personnel, she said this, but it could hardly be called a threat since she didn't mention using illegal or disorderly means.

Wei Laosan's face revealed a hint of anger as he spoke coldly, "I warn you, don't think we are unaware of the truth. It's only that we have yet to find evidence, but the net of heaven has large meshes, yet it lets nothing through. In the end, you will pay a heavy price for the misdeeds you have committed!"

"Hmph! That's just impotent rage. To think that the dignified Third Young Master Wei could be so incompetent! What's the point of saying all this? Even if we are deliberately causing trouble, can you find any evidence? Besides, we are the true victims here!" This translation is powered by the readers at *.

Guo Lanxiang's scorn bubbled over with another remark, her heart immensely satisfied. This job was too gratifying; not only could she severely rebuke the Third Young Master Wei, but she also left him speechless!

As for the punishment Xiao Wu would face, she couldn't care less. It had nothing to do with her; all she needed to do was to follow the script, and she would not only flawlessly complete the task but also receive a handsome compensation.

She didn't believe that the Wei family would rather smash their already tarnished reputation than fork out the money!

She turned her head towards Xu Hao, her mouth twisted in disdain, "What a pathetic Young Master Xu, thinking you're so impressive. Fancying yourself a busybody in a dog's affair, but are you capable of handling it? Who do you think you are? Hmph! Trash, your mom is calling you home for dinner!"

After railing at Xu Hao with her insults, her eyes heatedly turned toward Wei Laosan, saying, "Five million, not a penny less. Otherwise, I'll tell the media about your deeds, letting the world see the filthy face of Wei Family Restaurant when it does business!"

She even had already thought it through; once she got the compensation, she would kick out all three men and then find a young man to be her sugar daddy. Life would be so cozy then!

Wei Laosan, his teeth itching with fury and fists clenched tight, was clearly angered. Anyone with eyes could see that Guo Lanxiang and her group were here to cause trouble, but this was a society ruled by law, and without evidence, there could be no conviction. Although he was the Third Young Master of the Wei family, he dared not go too far in front of the public.

While Guo Lanxiang was still indulging in her fantasy, Xu Hao laughed coldly, "Guo Lanxiang, the witness has already been found by me. Do you still wish to argue?"

Guo Lanxiang was momentarily startled before quickly forcing herself to calm down and scoffed, "Humph! Where are they? Don't try to bluff me by bringing someone randomly and claiming they're a witness."

"Hehe, I wonder if you recognize him?" Xu Hao smiled lightly and clapped his hands. Everyone looked towards the stairway entrance to see two men in black suits and sunglasses escorting a short, sleazy-looking man toward them.

His expression was even more dejected than Xiao Wu's.

When Guo Lanxiang caught sight of this man, she trembled violently, panic flickering in her eyes, quickly captured and noted down by the two security personnel.

The man approached Guo Lanxiang with a wry smile, "Guo Lanxiang, admit your guilt. I didn't want to be executed, but I didn't expect their influence to be so strong. Before I could even run, I was caught."

"You... who are you? I... I don't know you!" Guo Lanxiang immediately turned her head away, refusing to acknowledge him.

Everyone instantly understood—the man was indeed one of Guo Lanxiang's accomplices!

Xu Hao took out a notebook and read in a cold voice, "Pang Shide, male, forty-three years old, a village ruffian from the same village as Guo Lanxiang, a bachelor, suspected of having an ambiguous relationship with Guo Lanxiang, once conspired to steal and sell thirty sheep from an old man in the village, and served three years in jail..."

Xu Hao once again accurately revealed the man's information and pointed out his relationship with Guo Lanxiang.

Guo Lanxiang's face finally turned extremely ugly. She glared at Xu Hao with angry fists, shaking violently as if she could hardly restrain herself from lashing out at him.

The two security personnel saw this and immediately rushed up to restrain her, preventing her from potentially lashing out and hurting someone.

Pang Shide laughed bitterly, "We were all wrong. In the countryside, in Lin'an, we could still get away with things without being caught. But here in Huadu, the waters are too deep. It's not a place where we little shrimps can get involved!"

Yet, Guo Lanxiang still refused to submit, demanding loudly, "They don't have any evidence, so why are you caving? Are you still a man or not?"
