Chapter 170: Chapter 170: A Heavy Punch towards the Mother-in-Law!

Jiang City Hotel, the Xu Family of five were sitting in a private VIP room, having ordered a table full of exotic seafood.

King crabs, spotted groupers, five-star Wagyu beef, Australian lobsters, whatever was expensive, they got it.

Xu Wangshan and Xu Qiangqiang were eating greasily, while Li Qiuyue was happily chatting as she ate.

"In the morning we went to make trouble at the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, and it was just so satisfying!"

"That Xu Qianli guy toyed with my daughter for three years and thought he could just walk away without consequences, dream on!"

"He even expects us to return his money and give him a house, that’s even more of a dream!"

"We’ll stir up trouble at the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee every day, let’s see if he can keep sitting comfortably as the Government Office Director!"

"Humph, there will come a time when he begs us on his knees!"

Li Qiuyue’s words became more and more impassioned; she grabbed a king crab leg and slurped it down in one go, not wasting a drop of the juice—it was pure joy.

Xu Wangshan cracked his knuckles and said gleefully, "Exactly! We’ll cause a commotion every day, enjoying fresh seafood daily, living the good life! I bet he can’t last many days. Soon, he’ll come begging for mercy. When that time comes, if he doesn’t cough up three to five million, he won’t be able to smooth this over!"

Xu Lele hadn’t eaten a bite and was extremely angry.

"Mom, Dad, how can you do this?"

"Do you not remember how much Brother Xu has helped us over the years, how good he’s been to us?"

"Before we met Brother Xu, our family of five was crammed into a small house, and neither of you had a proper job."

"After meeting Brother Xu, we moved into a big house, all got good jobs, sister became the main dancer in her troupe, and Brother Xu even gave you all his money."

"But you, you’re not only ungrateful for Brother Xu’s kindness, but you also ran to the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee to falsely accuse him, claiming he raped my sister three years ago. How could you do such a thing?"

Xu Lele was indignant and furious, how could they treat Xu Qianli, Brother Xu, this way?

Do these people have no conscience at all?

Can people really disregard their conscience just for money?

Accused, Li Qiuyue not only felt no guilt but even shouted loudly.

"You little wretch, spouting nonsense, what are you going on about?"

"Even if Xu Qianli was good to us, that’s in the past now. If our family wants to live well, we need to bite him and not let go!"

"So what if we falsely accuse him? As long as we get the money, what does conscience matter?"

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking—you must have fallen for him a long time ago, wanting to be his girlfriend, right?"

"Look at yourself, do you think he’d ever go for someone like you?"

"Listen to me, stay out of it. The higher-ups want us to do this, Xu Qianli is doomed, he’s dead meat."

"In a few days, forget about being the Government Office Director, he’s destined for prison!"

"You just watch!"

With that, Li Qiuyue said, Xu Wangshan immediately followed with, "He deserves it!"

Suddenly, the door to the private room opened, and a group of people rushed in.

Leading them was none other than Xu Qianli’s close friend, Wu Kai!

Seeing Wu Kai, Li Qiuyue’s face instantly darkened.

"Wu Kai, what are you doing here? Surely you’re not here to plead for that little Xu Qianli, are you?"

"Let me tell you, that bastard raped my daughter, forced her to be with him for three years using coercion, he’s spoiled three full years of her life, we will not let him off easily."

"At this critical juncture, no one’s pleas will be of any use!"

"Don’t even mention you, even if Secretary Ge of the County Committee came to make a plea, it would be useless!"

Wu Kai couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, "To plead? I think you’ve got it all wrong, I’ve come specifically to arrest you, your husband Xu Wangshan, and your son Xu Qiangqiang! Move, take them all into custody for me!"

At Wu Kai’s command, several underlings immediately stepped forward, controlled Xu Wangshan, Li Qiuyue, and Xu Qiangqiang, and handcuffed them all.

Li Qiuyue panicked, "On what grounds are you arresting us? I know, it must be that brat Xu Qianli who had you arrest us, wanting to seek revenge!"

"Seek revenge?"

"Don’t make me laugh!"

"Don’t you have any clue about what you’ve done?"

"I’ve already investigated your accounts. In the past few days, a large sum of three million was deposited into your accounts. With such a large amount of money, can you explain the source?"

"You better not say you borrowed it from some relatives, with people like you who would suck their kin dry, who would be willing to lend you money?"

Wu Kai said mockingly, having long suspected that these people were bribed by someone to falsely accuse Xu Qianli and cause trouble. Clarifying that their accounts had a large deposit further confirmed his suspicions.

Xu Shuman stood up abruptly, "Mom, didn’t you say it was only one million? After all this, you’ve been playing me!"

Xu Lele said, "Sis, to think you would believe their words, don’t you know what kind of people they are?"

Li Qiuyue glared fiercely at Xu Lele, "You little wretch, you have no say here! Wu Kai, no matter what, we’re already registered with the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, aren’t you afraid they’ll hold you accountable for treating us like this?"

"Hold accountable?"

"If what you reported against my buddy is true, the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee would naturally hold accountable."

"But you falsely accused my buddy, Xu Shuman, which is completely unfounded. What exactly would the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee hold accountable?"

"By then, not only will they not hold me accountable, but they will pursue you for the crimes of false accusation and extortion!"

Wu Kai declared.

"Nonsense, where have we falsely accused, where have we extorted from Xu Qianli?"

Li Qiuyue denied vehemently, unwilling to admit anything.

"Not admitting, are you? Squirming your way out, huh? I have ways to make you unable to squirm!"

Suddenly, Wu Kai leaped onto the table, stepped on it, and reached for a light fixture, quickly retrieving a miniature camera.

"Now, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing the camera in Wu Kai’s hand, Li Qiuyue’s demeanor deflated completely; her face turned pale, and she was stunned.

Xu Wangshan and Xu Qiangqiang’s faces were equally ugly.

Heaven’s sake, it turns out Wu Kai had installed a camera here long ago; everything they said and did had been captured. They were finished, truly finished.

As the three were about to be taken away, Xu Shuman became flustered, "Wu Kai, I’m begging you, can you let them off the hook?"

"Don’t bother!"

"You know all too well what they have done to my buddy, to your ex-boyfriend."

"Even you, although you weren’t directly involved in the false accusation against my buddy, your silence during his defamation also makes you an accomplice!"

"You know perfectly well how my buddy treated you before. You kicked him to the curb and now treat him like this, I truly have nothing to say to you."

Wu Kai looked at Xu Shuman with utter contempt, paid her no more attention, waved his hand, and left with Xu Wangshan, Li Qiuyue, and Xu Qiangqiang.

After they left, Xu Shuman slumped down onto the chair, her body going limp.
