Captain Lee smiled and said to Muchuan, "Do you think everyone here is a fool? Recall for a moment, what did you say that brought everyone here?"
Muchuan’s explanations were too far-fetched.
While they might pass for the explanation of why he and Lee Mi went to the police station to report Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci for practicing without a license, when it came to explaining the subsequent actions... they completely fell apart.
At this point, what didn’t the onlookers understand?
They all accused the two of being despicable and shameless ingrates.
Seeing that the time was about right, Meng Chuyue loudly said, "You both can leave, and don’t come back before me again."
Upon hearing this, Captain Lee immediately gestured to his men to let them go.
Muchuan and Lee Mi left with gloomy faces.
After getting into the car, Muchuan said fiercely, "I didn’t expect they would have gotten their medical licenses so soon. We miscalculated. But no worries, I still have many opportunities."
Lee Mi’s eyelids were drooping, and it was unclear what she was thinking, but after Muchuan finished speaking, she nodded, "Right, we underestimated them before. We need to be more cautious in the future."
Not long after the two returned to their residence, Han Xiao arrived.
He had come to report the operational status of their new shoe factory.
Of course, that wasn’t Han Xiao’s real purpose. His real intent was to pry information, as instructed by Meng Chuyue. This matter needing a report to Muchuan and Lee Mi provided the perfect opportunity, so he came immediately.
After finishing his report, Han Xiao, seemingly nonchalant, asked, "Fourth brother, sixth sister, I just heard about your reporting Chuyue. Why did you treat her like that before? While father might not like us very much, just disliking them should be enough. How could you hurt her like that?"
Ever since long, when Muchuan, Lee Mi, and Han Xiao were together discussing Han Zheng, they could only say he was biased and dared not speak of anything else.
Other things were unspeakable.
Putting aside their unknown grievances with Han Zheng, openly, Han Zheng had indeed shown them great benevolence.
Not only had he raised them, but he also divided a hefty inheritance among them. To still harbor resentment, where did they stand as human beings?
Muchuan didn’t know how to answer Han Xiao’s question.
Lee Mi was more agile and cunning in her mind.
She said sadly, "We didn’t intend to hurt Chuyue—it was she who overreacted and misunderstood us."
Han Xiao was not fond of scheming but wasn’t foolish; he asked doubtfully, "Then tell me, what exactly happened? You need to tell me, otherwise if father brings this up one day, I won’t be able to defend you."
Muchuan and Lee Mi, "..."
Damn it, still had to make up a story.
But, unwilling as they were to make up a story, and as difficult as it was, they had to.
Because Han Xiao was right, if Han Zheng asked about it, they needed a passable explanation.
Lee Mi’s eyes darted around, and finally, she had an idea, "We were forced. Someone called and forced us to do it, threatening that if we didn’t do what he wanted, we would face consequences. The last time he forced us , we didn’t comply, and he sent someone to beat you up, brother, you almost lost your life.
This time, we also felt what he was asking us to do wasn’t too severe, so we..."
Muchuan thought Mimi was brilliant to come up with such a mutually beneficial story, which not only resolved the earlier issue but also laid a good foundation for future actions.
He feigned a regretful demeanor and sighed, "Ah, if I had known it would turn out , I might as well have let him beat me up again."
Lee Mi immediately said with concern, "Fourth brother, are you confused by anger? Have you thought about it—if we hadn’t done what he wanted this time, he might not just have beaten you up, it could have been something else. And now, with things , we don’t know if he will punish us."
