The Ding family's lawyer held the documents and waited to complete the formalities. As the time ticked by, almost 24 hours had passed, and his smugness was obvious.

"Mr. Xie, forgive my bluntness, but you took Miss Xie Li's casual remark seriously. Sigh!" He shook his head, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.

"Do you know how much criticism your actions have brought to the Xie family? And how much sadness and disappointment have you caused Old Madam Ding?"

Xie Sidu looked at him with a slightly somber gaze, without saying a word.

This lawyer had previously worked with the Xie family, but was kicked out by Xie Sidu because of his questionable personal conduct.

This person harbored resentment and sought revenge.

He was unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip by, so he naturally rushed over and gave it a good kick.

Moreover, he knew that the Xie family had not had a peaceful year – the Xie Group had lost several large orders in a row, and the Huo family was the one who stole them.

The Huo family has already made a move against the Xie family. Tsk tsk, it looks like the Xie family is about to suffer a great misfortune. He is extremely happy.

Wang Zhian, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown. He also felt that Xie Sidu's actions this time were too rash and inexplicable!

Based solely on Xie Li's one-sided account, he insisted on taking the person to the police station. Only Officer Lu would indulge in his nonsense.

At best, this is a case of mistaken identity; at worst, it's a false accusation! Xie Sidu restricted someone's personal freedom. If this were to be investigated, although he wouldn't face imprisonment, he would certainly have to apologize.

What will be presented to the public in the future is the rich taking advantage of their power to bully and oppress the poor.

If those with ulterior motives continue to steer the discussion towards the issue of wealth disparity, Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group's products and Huichuntang will face boycotts, which would ultimately be a losing proposition.

Seeing that the Ding family's lawyer was practically strutting off to complete the formalities, and that the police station could no longer keep Aunt Feng, the Xie family's efforts were destined to be in vain.

Wang Zhian lifted his foot and walked towards Xie Li, who was fiddling with her phone to the side: "Miss Xie Li, I'd like to talk to you."

Xie Li was taken aback for a moment, sensing the suppressed anger in the other party, and nodded calmly: "Okay."

The two walked to a secluded corner.

Xie Li: "What are you trying to say?"

After she finished speaking, she looked down at her phone again—looking like a typical internet addict, which was really off-putting.

Wang Zhian pushed up his glasses, his eyes cold. "I admit, I did underestimate you back then. I thought only Miss Ziyuan was worthy of being the Xie family's heir."

“You are very smart, at least not a complete fool.” Wang Zhian paused, “but even so, you are not the best choice to be the heir of the Xie family.”

In his heart, Xie Ziyuan is still the best choice.

If Xie Li were sensible and considerate of the bigger picture, it wouldn't be impossible for the scales in his heart to tip slightly in Xie Li's favor.

"But your encouragement today to have Mr. Feng control Aunt Feng's behavior is utterly foolish!"

"Do you think this is the countryside, where you can throw dirty water on anyone you don't like and gain the upper hand?"

"Do you even realize how much damage your actions will cause the Xie family! If you want to cause trouble, don't drag the Xie family down with you!"

Xie Li finally looked up from her phone, her gaze calm as she looked at Wang Zhian. "Are you done?"

Wang Zhian: "I ask you to consider the gentleman and the old man a little, and not make everyone mess around with your nonsense."

Xie Li gave him a strange look. "Who said I was talking nonsense?"
