Chapter 50: Bankrupting the Winchesters

Chapter 50

Rong Dai's ankle was in excruciating pain as she watched the blood gush out. Her entire body froze in shock!

Seeing Zuo Ran so close, she instinctively kicked towards his forehead!

Zuo Ran was also injured, having been kicked in the head repeatedly by Rong Dai. His whole head was covered in blood.

Momentarily disoriented, he struggled to get up after collapsing to the ground.

Seeing that Zuo Ran couldn't get up, Rong Dai hurriedly clutched her bathrobe tightly around herself.

Leaning on the door frame, she slowly got up and hobbled outside as fast as she could with her injured leg.

When she finally made it downstairs, she thought she could find help.

But there wasn't a soul at the front desk!

Realizing that no one had come to investigate all the commotion they caused, Rong Dai's heart sank. This was clearly orchestrated by Zuo Ran.

Zuo Ran's furious roars echoed from the hallway. Rong Dai swallowed hard, tore off the sash from her bathrobe, and hastily tied up her bleeding wound. Enduring the excruciating pain, she quickly made her way outside.

Rong Dai thought there would be people outside, but when she stepped out, she was dumbfounded.

The place was deserted except for this lone homestay. It was located next to the seaside, the sound of crashing waves clearly audible.

That madman had brought her to this ghostly place?!

Rong Dai was extremely desperate, but still rational.

She now had to get as far away from that lunatic Zuo Ran as possible!

Taking out the phone Zuo Ran used to record her, she quickly snapped some pictures of her surroundings to get her bearings. Dragging her injured leg, she disappeared into the dark night.

"Vile woman!"

Not long after Rong Dai left, Zuo Ran rushed out of the homestay with a sharp dagger in his hand, his face twisted in fury as he continued cursing her!

...

In the police station conference room in Shenjing, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Huo Shaoting sat in a chair with a computer in front of him.

He glanced at his watch. It was already close to 9pm.

His eyes cold, he looked at the Wen siblings and said in a chill tone, "I'll give you two options."

"One, confess everything clearly."

"Two, wait for the Wen Corporation to go bankrupt."

Seeing the data and information displayed on Huo's computer screen, Wen Runlin's expression changed drastically!

These were the Wen Corporation's overseas assets. What was he trying to do?!

"Miss Wen, you've caused me great hardship!"

Just as the Wen siblings were in dire straits, the lawyer who had gotten Zuo Ran out on bail rushed into the conference room, drenched in sweat.

Seeing Wen Shi Lan, he wished he could devour her.

"Mr. Huo, I handled this matter improperly. Please be merciful..."

He didn't bother settling scores with Wen Shi Lan first but begged Huo Shaoting for forgiveness like a grandson.

"Have you ever seen me show mercy?"

Huo Shaoting's expression was cold. He didn't even glance at the lawyer.

He had only seized some of the lawyer's assets in passing. Until now, the lawyer had lost just a few hundred thousand. Yet he already couldn't keep his cool?

"When you took this case, didn't you consider investigating first? It's too late now."

Huo's voice was icy.

Han Shiqing shuddered in fright, unable to utter a word.

After a while, he finally regained his senses. He hurriedly took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and respectfully placed them on the table.

He glared angrily at Wen Shi Lan, bowed deeply, and said to Huo Shaoting in a very respectful manner: "I was tactless this time and offended the lady. These documents are all I could find that might aid Mr. Huo."

Huo Shaoting glanced at him indifferently, not even looking at the documents as he said coldly, "Trying to fool me with trash?"

Han Shiqing's face turned white. Just then, Zhang, Huo's assistant, walked in holding a cell phone which he handed to Huo Shaoting.

"Sir, this video was just released a few minutes ago."

"I've already had the tech team investigate. It was sent out from Miss Wen's phone."

Zhang didn't hide anything, glancing at Wen Shi Lan as he reported.

Huo Shaoting watched the video on the phone, his eyes turning extremely sinister.

"Bring her phone here."

Huo Shaoting ordered. The two security guards immediately stepped forward to carry out his command.

Wen Shi Lan shrank back in fright, her face pale as she resisted, "That's my personal belonging! You don't have the right to..."

Before she finished speaking, her phone had already been seized. Lu Hong tactfully played deaf and blind.

Zhang examined her phone with gloved hands. Seeing that it was completely empty, he couldn't help but be astonished. "Sir, there's nothing here."

Wen Shi Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't that stupid to keep evidence!

Her face instantly took on a wronged and fragile look as she cried, "Brother Huo, I..."

"Have the tech team recover it," Huo Shaoting ordered sternly, not even sparing a glance or the corner of his eyes for Wen Shi Lan.

That woman must be very frightened now...
