Chapter 40: This woman’s got a lot on her mind.

Chapter 40

Although most of the officials did not believe that He Zhiran would beat people like this, Peng Wang believed it.

He felt that this woman still had many amazing abilities that had not been discovered. Now seeing the miserable state of the He brothers, Peng Wang added another 'good at fighting' to He Zhiran's amazing abilities...

In Peng Wang's mind, this woman could not be provoked, even if she was currently under his command earning a living. He could not offend her.

Especially now, when he was eating the delicious food brought by her family, there would definitely be more such treatment in the future.

He, Peng Wang, would naturally have to take care of someone who could bring him so many benefits.

Peng Wang looked contemptuously at the He brothers.

"You said you were beaten by the He family?"

"It's absolutely true, Sir. It was the He family who beat us." The He brothers felt extremely wronged.

After acting arrogantly in the capital for so many years, it was still the first time they had been beaten by a woman. At this moment, the two brothers wished they could kill He Zhiran.

"It looks like you don't want to live anymore, daring to mock us like this." Zhang Qing became angrier the more he listened, and slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table, yelling at the two brothers.

The He brothers were frightened and their bodies shuddered.

However, what they said was the truth. They had come this time to get justice for themselves, so they could only stubbornly continue speaking.

"Sir, we really didn't lie."

Peng Wang saw that Zhang Qing was still angry, and quickly spoke up to avoid ruining the dining atmosphere:

"Since you said you were beaten by the He family, is there any witness?"

The He brothers pointed to the few family members who had helped them over.

"Sir, my family can testify."

Peng Wang glanced at the He family members present.

"That doesn't count. If the He family members come out and testify that you beat her, will you admit it?"

"This..." The He brothers were suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to do.

Peng Wang waved his hand: "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't pursue your false accusations. Hurry up and get out!"

Just as the He brothers were dejectedly being helped to leave, a woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Sir, I can testify that I saw He Zhiran beat people with my own eyes."

Peng Wang looked towards the door, and it was Li Rou'er.

He cursed inwardly, really not knowing how He Zhiran had offended Li Rou'er, with her coming out everywhere to make trouble.

Li Rou'er had already pretentiously walked in as she spoke.

He Zhiran sneered: "Li Rou'er, not to mention that we used to be the best of friends who shared everything, even if there was some misunderstanding between us, you shouldn't target me like this, right?"

As she spoke, He Zhiran pointed at the He brothers.

"Look at their size, could I have beaten them?"

The officials had just heard Li Rou'er's eloquent account and had somewhat believed that He Zhiran had assaulted people.

But now looking at the contrast between them, no matter how they looked at it, they could not believe that He Zhiran could lay a hand on two such burly men.

Thinking of this, the officials' gazes unanimously glared at Li Rou'er.

Only one man was different from the others.

He kept signalling to Li Rou'er with his eyes, seemingly reminding her not to keep talking.

All this did not escape He Zhiran's eyes, of course.

She secretly looked over that official who was signalling to Li Rou'er, and immediately had some guesses...

Seeing things were getting more and more out of hand, Peng Wang still wanted to resolve the matter quickly and continue eating.

"That's enough, let the He brothers say it themselves, how did you beat them, Lady He?"

Hearing this, Li Rou'er became nervous at once. She kept signalling to the He brothers with her eyes.

Alas, the He brothers just stared at He Zhiran resentfully, completely oblivious to Li Rou'er's signals.

He Liang stepped forward and said, "Sir, He Zhiran first punched me in the stomach, then tripped me and hit my back..."

Now Li Rou'er was dumbfounded.

She had planned it so well. As long as she testified for the He brothers, even if they weren't really beaten by He Zhiran, He Zhiran would still have to leave in frustration.

Who knew Peng Wang would be so crafty and turn the outcome around so quickly.

Peng Wang slammed the table hard, sending the chopsticks on it falling to the ground.

"Take Li Rou'er out and give her ten lashes."

"Sir, I really saw He Zhiran beat the He brothers, what I said is all true."

At this point, Li Rou'er could only continue to stubbornly insist, hoping to turn things around.

Who knew, the officials didn't even give her a chance to continue her sophistry, and directly came forward to take her away.

Because they knew clearly in their hearts that Li Rou'er was giving false testimony, and the He brothers definitely weren't beaten by Lady He either.

The official who had looked at Li Rou'er differently just now hurried to catch up.

"Zhang Qing, leave this minor matter for me to deal with! You go back and keep the boss company to continue eating."
