Hearing the old woman's words, Mo Lan finally felt relieved. It was good that she was released. It had nothing to do with the escort agency in the first place, so there was no way they could find any evidence. If they didn't release her, the government wouldn't be able to stand up.
Just as she thought of this, the old woman muttered again, "It's really a tragedy. The Chen family has no evidence for the government to convict them, and the escort agency has no evidence to clear their names. They're just being detained in the courtyard without any explanation, and their lives are so miserable."
"Does Grandma know which courtyard they're being held in?" Listening to the old woman's nagging, Mo Lan felt guilty, but also a surge of anger welled up inside her.
Didn't Jiang Mian already break ties with the Chen family? Why is he still letting the Chen family run rampant?
If the government can't find the real culprit, what's the point of detaining the escort agency?
"They're being held in the security company's courtyard and aren't allowed to leave. They're being told they'll be released only when the case is solved. Sigh..."
Mo Lan quickly finished her noodles and headed straight for the Lion King Escort Agency.
Ultimately, they were implicated by their own actions.
However, the Chen family is really shameless, actually trying to find a scapegoat.
Thinking of the things they had collected, especially the jade discs, which must be quite valuable, the Chen family was unwilling to give up, which is why they kept pressing the escort agency, simply to minimize their losses.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan couldn't help but feel fortunate that Zhou Bo hadn't accepted the silver bricks she had given him; otherwise, she would have been in a very difficult situation.
Before she even got close to the escort agency, she could see a crowd of onlookers gathered in front of her.
"Sigh, the Chen family is really bullying us. The magistrate said that no one can be detained without evidence, but the Chen family still comes to cause trouble every few days."
"I heard that a lot of property was stolen from the Chen family. Anyone would feel the pain. But they had a grudge against each other. As for whether or not there will be revenge, who can say for sure?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The Lion King Escort Agency was driven away by the Chen family. They were robbed, and they still managed to intercept the thieves halfway. If you ask me, that's bullying!"
"Regardless of who is right or wrong, this family in the courtyard is constantly disturbed and can't even eat properly. It's really pitiful."
"······"
Mo Lan stood in the crowd, listening to the whispers around her, and felt increasingly guilty.
As soon as they approached the gate, they saw Chen Han leading a group of servants out menacingly, and he even kicked the doorway before leaving.
"I'm warning you one more time, hand over the stuff as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Chen Han, don't push your luck. You've searched our house inside and out, and you haven't found a single thing of yours, but you've taken quite a few of my things. What more do you want?"
Chen Han listened to their questions, his eyes filled with malice, "How about it? I'll make you wish you were dead."
"Chen Han, leave yourself a way out. Don't go too far, or you'll end up losing everything!"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense to me. Who knows if you moved the stolen goods after you left the city? Since you have no evidence to clear your name, you should honestly compensate my Chen family for the losses."
As Chen Han spoke, his eyes swept over the women in the courtyard with a sinister look. "I'll give you three more days to consider, otherwise I'll sell these women to the borderlands to pay off debts."
"You dare!"
"You'll see if I dare!"
Mo Lan stood in the crowd, listening to Chen Han's foul language. She couldn't suppress her anger, so she picked up two pebbles and flicked them at the pressure points on his legs.
