Qiao Mei had to hold back from acting rashly. She also believed that Xia Zhe must have his own reasons for making such a move. After all, he was not an impulsive person.
"Ahem, Mr. Daniel, I still have something on. I'll get going first." Qiao Mei did not seem to want to see Daniel looking so embarrassed. She lowered her head and ran to the garage without waiting for his answer.
Qiao Mei immediately got into the silvery white sports car and left. Anyway, this car had already been transferred to her name. In the future, Daniel probably would not look her up again.
The other guests came back to their senses one after another. They would be witnessing the humiliation of Alan's family if they continued to stay here! It would be terrible if Alan vented his anger on them!
At the same time, they also realized why Alan had only invited the not-so-famous families over. It turned out the family had kidnapped the "groom". Alan and the others had long guessed that he would not give in to their demands, so they did not want the news to spread!
Daniel rubbed his slightly sore chest and looked at Qiao Mei's departing figure without asking her to stay. He did not have the time to think about women now. Fang Chen had caused their family to suffer such a humiliation today, so he must return the favor! He had to make Fang Chen kneel down and apologize to them!
Alan glanced at Daniel, who immediately understood what he meant. Daniel told the butler to contact all the media outlets to lock down the news. Be it the major newspapers or the small tabloids, they would get a payout to ensure that they did not reveal anything about what happened today to the outside world!
Alan did not say anything. He was still weighing whether it was worth it to fall out with Fang Chen since Fang Chen still had a lot of value to them. It could be said that for now, only Fang Chen could give them what they wanted in the speediest manner. It was not Alan's style to give up what was near and seek what was far away.
"No!" Jessica said from the side. "We're already caught in such an embarrassing situation. If we ask the police to arrest him, people will say that we're in a rage due to the embarrassment and are taking revenge on purpose."
If the public found out that she had taken revenge on the other party because she failed in courting him, it would look bad on her. She was the one in the family who would be affected by scandals the most. She had already rejected many job offers for the past three months and did not dare to go out because of her wedding plans.
"But it would be even more embarrassing for us to let him off just like that!" Daniel said agitatedly.
Alan did not reply for a long time. After a long moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "What's the use of asking the police to arrest him? With our injuries being so minor, he would be able to post bail and get out very quickly."
As for him, the pain he felt all over his body was diagnosed as being caused by getting worked up and had no relation to Fang Chen. It could not even be used as evidence against Fang Chen.
"So we just let him go?" Daniel said indignantly.
Alan looked at Daniel in disdain. He was still a young man after all. No matter how scheming he was, he could not help being impulsive.
"Of course not." Alan looked at his son irritably. "Can't you deal with someone without calling the police? Is there something wrong with your brain? Have you forgotten what it is that we do? Is this what I have taught you all this while? You're the future heir but your current reaction is too disappointing to me!"
