Zhou Chunhua looked at Gu Yao, but Gu Yao was looking at Xu San.

"So, it was you who was chasing and intercepting her?" Gu Yao asked.

Xu San chuckled awkwardly, "This...this is a misunderstanding! If I had known it was your assistant, Attorney Gu, I...I wouldn't have dared..."

Before Zhou Chunhua could react, she heard a "bang," and Xu San, who hadn't finished speaking, was punched to the ground.

Xu San spilled tea all over his face, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The burly men surrounding them seemed to be about to make a move, as if they were waiting for a command to charge forward.

Gu Yao acted as if he hadn't seen anything, reaching out to grab Xu San by the collar and lifting him up. Then, he delivered another punch to Xu San's cheek.

Xu San, like a weightless sandbag, fell heavily to the ground once again.

Gu Yao strode over and kicked Xu San hard in the face.

Xu San clutched his head, wailing and begging for forgiveness: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I know I was wrong, it will never happen again!"

However, Gu Yao seemed not to hear him, and the force of his foot increased with each kick.

Whether he was tired of kicking or felt that kicking wasn't enough to vent his anger, he grabbed Xu San again, aimed his fist at Xu San's face, and slammed it down hard.

One punch, two punches, three punches, four punches...

Not only was the force heavy, but the landing point was also the same.

Gu Yao's fist was unknowingly stained with a patch of crimson blood.

Xu San kept begging to admit his mistake, but perhaps seeing that pleading with Gu Yao was useless, he turned to Wang Lin for help this time, saying that if the beating continued, he would be beaten to death.

"You deserve to be beaten to death! Who told you to be so blind?" Wang Lin said.

Xu San, his face covered in blood, suddenly grabbed Gu Yao's leg and pleaded, "I was wrong! Please, Attorney Gu, have mercy."

However, Gu Yao acted as if he hadn't heard, grabbed Xu San by the collar, and lifted him up again.

With a bang, the fist slammed into Xu San's face once again.

Xu San was sent flying from his grasp, crashing heavily to the ground on his back, where he lay motionless.

Could he be dead? Zhou Chunhua's heart was pounding in her throat.

Looking over, Xu San's condition could only be described as a bloody mess.

His face was completely red, as if he had no nose.

He looked like he was about to die.

Gu Yao picked up the tablecloth and elegantly wiped the bloodstains from his hands.

Wang Lin, sitting opposite him, said, "So? Attorney Gu has vented his anger, can't we sit down and have a proper chat now?"

Before Gu Yao could speak, Xu San was carried away.

"Let's talk about it then." Gu Yao tossed the stained tablecloth onto the table and sat back down.

As soon as Wang Lin raised his hand, someone respectfully placed a cigar between his fingers.

He beckoned with his finger, and the man handed one to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao didn't answer, only saying, "I'll quit, then we'll talk about it. There are children here."

Wang Lin, who had just pressed the lighter, paused for a moment, let go, the flame went out, and then tossed the cigar onto the table.

"It's good that you've quit. I just didn't expect that you would change so much in such a short time. After all, you used to rarely meddle in other people's business."

“I rarely meddle in other people’s business; you’ve misunderstood,” Gu Yao replied.

Wang Lin raised an eyebrow and looked her up and down.

"Oh, so it wasn't a trivial matter after all. I misjudged it."

Zhou Chunhua watched the two people talking back and forth, completely baffled.

They were clearly talking about her, but why couldn't she understand?

"Alright, Mr. Wang went to all this trouble to bring us here, not just to talk to me about quitting smoking, right?" Gu Yao asked.

"Of course not. I just heard that Attorney Gu has a few bank drafts with my name on them, so I came to talk to Attorney Gu about returning them to me."

With a forced smile, Wang Lin picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and with a flick of his finger, the person who had offered him the cigarette earlier presented the cup and tea to Gu Yao.

“Attorney Gu should know that I am now a legitimate businessman. If those bills of exchange fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, they may not be able to do anything to me, but they will more or less affect my company’s reputation.”

Zhou Chunhua raised an eyebrow, thinking that Wang Lin was truly shameless.

They committed so many heinous and evil deeds, yet it was all just glossed over with a single stroke of the pen.

The meaning behind those words made her want to vomit!

We can't do anything to him yet!

If we really can't do anything to him, then why bring them here?

Faced with this shameless and reckless person, Zhou Chunhua was so angry that her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

"Hehe..." Gu Yao suddenly laughed, "If it were really as Mr. Wang said, how could he have chased you all the way from Jiang City to here? As for whether those few bank drafts can do anything to you, we'll only know that in court, right?"

Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but turn to look at Gu Yao.

She really didn't expect Gu Yao to confront her so bluntly!

It was truly satisfying.

"Gu Yao!" Wang Lin slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Gu Yao, don't think you can blackmail me just because you have some stuff! When I was out in the game, you were probably playing in the mud in some corner!"

Let me tell you, the reason I brought you here today isn't because of those few photocopies. Let me put it this way, if you know what's good for you, hand over the originals! Maybe I'll consider your influence and let you leave.

If you don't know what's good for you today, don't blame me for making sure you never leave Qing'an!

"Is that so?" Gu Yao sneered. "I only have a photocopy. Do you want it?"

"Bullshit!" Wang Lin slammed his hand on the table.

"That old bastard Chen Deming isn't as tough as you. He's told you everything. Gu Yao, don't you think I would have taken such a big risk to cause you trouble if I hadn't figured things out?"

You'd better be smart and hand over the stuff. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and not bother each other. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning you all into fertilizer to grow flowers.”

"What...what did you do to Uncle Chen?" Zhou Chunhua couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Wang Lin chuckled, lit a cigar, and exhaled a smoke ring.

"Thanks to you, he has finally been reunited with his family."

"You! You...you killed him?"

At that moment, Zhou Chunhua's palms were covered in cold sweat.

Wang Lin flicked the ash from his cigar.

"Don't put it so harshly. He's not even worthy of my attention. If you have to blame someone, blame him for knowing his old bones are no match for him, yet still insisting on being stubborn."

But what happened in the end? He's still just a spineless coward. He said everything he should and shouldn't have said, making it all crystal clear! People are just despicable!

Even though the result is the same, he still insists on being stubborn. You guys shouldn't be like him.
