Duan Yihong was the "Brother Hong" that Zhao Yongrong and the others mentioned.
"You know Brother Hong?"
"Could it be..."
"Are you the person Brother Hong talked about?"
The three of them weren't fools. Not only did Xiao Zhan know Duan Yihong, but he also referred to him as "Hong brat," clearly showing he didn't take Duan Yihong seriously at all.
Thud!
Thud! Thud!
Recalling what Duan Yihong had said on the phone earlier — a single sentence about losing everything and ruining their families — the three felt their scalps tingle, their legs weaken, and they immediately knelt before Xiao Zhan.
"Big Brother, Master!"
"We really didn't mean to kick someone when they're down or agree to sign with Su Wenchao. It was Su Wenchao who coerced and tempted us with offers we couldn't refuse. We were momentarily blinded..."
"Please, Master, spare us! Spare us!"
The three kowtowed like pounding garlic, even more terrified than when facing Su Muqiu earlier. After all, they feared Su Muqiu because she had a terrifying backer they couldn't afford to offend.
And Xiao Zhan was that backer!
Now they finally understood.
They understood everything.
No wonder Su Muqiu, who had always been marginalized and oppressed in the Su Family, suddenly soared and had such a formidable backer.
No wonder Su Muqiu would marry a man like Xiao Zhan.
It turned out Xiao Zhan was the kind of big shot even Brother Hong couldn't provoke.
"Shut up."
Looking down at Zhao Yongrong and the others, Xiao Zhan's face was expressionless, his gaze cold as he said, "Businessmen seek profit. It's natural for you to seek benefits and avoid harm by agreeing to sign with Su Wenchao. If you know your mistake and can correct it, come and apologize, and I can let bygones be bygones."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
The three didn't dare lift their heads, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
"But!"
Xiao Zhan's tone suddenly shifted, coldly saying, "Dare to touch my woman, and death is too good for you!"
"Ah?!"
The three shuddered uncontrollably, the breath they had just released caught in their throats, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.
"Master, I was blinded by greed, didn't recognize Mount Tai, and touched Miss Su's leg. I... I deserve to die!"
Zhao Yongrong was almost scared to wet his pants, his voice trembling as he pleaded, "For Brother Hong's sake, for the sake of my self-severed left hand, please treat me as nothing and let me go. As long as you spare my life, from now on, I, Zhao Yongrong, will follow your lead!"
"See for yourself!"
Worried that Su Muqiu might come out and see, Xiao Zhan, not wanting to waste words with Zhao Yongrong and the others, tossed his phone over.
"This..."
"This, this, this..."
Seeing the photos on the phone, Zhao Yongrong and the others were dumbfounded, their faces ashen.
What the hell?
The men in the photos were indeed them, and at that time, they were indeed holding women. But, heaven as witness, the women they were holding were not Su Muqiu.
How...
"Framed! This is a setup!"
President Li was the first to lift his head, gritting his teeth as he cried out, "Master, these photos are fake, all fake! I swear to the heavens, I never touched a single hair of Miss Su! If there's even a half-truth, may I be struck by lightning!"
"I swear too!"
"I also..."
Zhao Yongrong awkwardly said, "I swear, I only touched Miss Su's leg once."
The three swore oaths, cursing inwardly: Fuck your mother! Which shameless bastard sent these photos at such a time, trying to take our lives!
"Su Wenchao!"
Suddenly, President Wang exclaimed.
Zhao Yongrong and President Li were puzzled, "What about Su Wenchao?"
"Look!"
President Wang pointed at the sender's phone number and the message at the top, gritting his teeth, "This phone number belongs to Su Wenchao! And he calls the master brother-in-law. Who else could it be but Su Wenchao?"
In an instant, the three were ablaze with fury!
Xiao Zhan asked, "You mean Su Wenchao sent some fake photos to frame you?"
"Exactly!"
"That's definitely it!"
The three nodded vigorously.
"So, you know what you should do now?" Xiao Zhan said meaningfully.
"Rest assured, Master, we'll go settle the score with that bastard right away!"
"Let's go!"
The three, full of momentum, stood up, making calls to gather people as they stormed out of Fuyuan Residential Complex, heading straight for the Su Group.
"Smart move."
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes.
He wasn't foolish. He could tell at a glance that the photos were photoshopped, fake, so he didn't do anything to Zhao Yongrong and the others. Instead, he used them to make Su Wenchao pay the price he deserved.
A dragon has reverse scales; touch them and you die!
When leaving Junhuang Grand Hotel earlier, Xiao Zhan had warned Su Bingtian, Su Jianguo, and Su Wenchao: "If anyone is dissatisfied, come at me. Dare to touch my wife and daughter, and die!"
Clearly, they had taken Xiao Zhan's warning as mere words, not taking it to heart.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Moments later, Su Muqiu came out of the house, dressed in loose casual wear, looking elegant and refined, with an extraordinary aura. Her delicate features and fair skin made her no less impressive than those female stars on TV.
Xiao Zhan took a few careful glances, and the fierce look on his face vanished instantly.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Su Muqiu came up to Xiao Zhan and glared at him.
"Wife, you're really beautiful."
Xiao Zhan smiled, giving her a thumbs-up.
Su Muqiu's cheeks flushed, and she huffed, "Don't forget what you promised Mengmeng. Tonight, Mengmeng and I will sleep in the bed, and you sleep on the floor. Although we're engaged, I hope you don't have any improper thoughts about me."
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Unless you fall hopelessly in love with me and throw yourself into my arms, we'll respect each other and won't cross the line."
"Bah, dream on!"
Su Muqiu's face turned even redder, thinking, are you teasing me? Want me to throw myself into your arms? Not a chance!
At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz drove into Fuyuan Residential Complex.
"Muqiu, over here!"
From twenty meters away, the passenger window rolled down, and a young woman stuck her head out, waving to Su Muqiu.
Su Muqiu looked at Xiao Zhan, "Ziyi and the others are here to pick me up, you..."
"I'll go with you."
Before Su Muqiu could finish, Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "The two of them are a couple, and you're a married woman now. Going alone as a third wheel doesn't seem right."
"You!"
Su Muqiu hesitated, thinking, do you not know your own status? A rapist! A violent maniac! Just out of prison! Going with you would be inappropriate, wouldn't it?
But she couldn't bring herself to say it, as it would be too hurtful.
