Is this... a plan to kill them all?
Some people began to lose patience and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Mrs. Xie, I was wrong! Please let me go!"
"I promise I won't tell anyone a word of what happened today!"
Others also broke out in cold sweats and knelt down one after another to beg for mercy.
"I will never make money like this again! Can you just pretend that I was never here today?"
"I have old people and young children to take care of, and my whole family is waiting for me to take care of them. I can't let anything happen to me! Wuuuuu..."
Madam Xie listened to the cries of regret from the crowd, her eyebrows furrowed, and she shouted unhappily:
"Why are you crying? I didn't even touch you, don't try to scam me!"
The crying stopped instantly.
Everyone stared at Mrs. Xie eagerly.
Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "Your empty promises are not trustworthy at all in my opinion. In this world, only the words of the dead are the most reliable."
Good job!
After these words were spoken, several people fainted on the spot, including Li Hongying's family.
A young man turned pale and cried bitterly: "Wow! I haven't married yet! I don't want to die!"
His crying infected other people.
"I'm married, but my wife's cooking is terrible. If I can go back alive, I will never despise her again!"
"My mother always scolds me, saying that I am incompetent and that I stay out all day and never come home. I miss my mother so much. I will no longer be a reporter. I want to go back to being a teacher!"
They started talking at once, recalling with despair the things they regretted about each other.
No one noticed that the look in Mrs. Xie's eyes gradually softened.
At this time, the sound of orderly footsteps sounded from the stairs.
Amuti rushed up with a group of uniformed soldiers.
"Brother Lan, the people are here!"
Xie Lanzhi pointed at the media reporters who were kneeling on the ground and those who were standing.
"Take them away and have them sign confidentiality agreements one by one. Make sure they are safe before letting them go!"
"receive!"
Amuti led a group of soldiers and took away the media reporters who were traitors and took money to do their jobs, but left Li Hongying and her family behind.
Father Li looked at everyone leaving with bloodshot eyes and shouted angrily:
"We can also sign a confidentiality agreement, let's go!"
Xie Lanzhi ignored Father Li and walked straight to Mrs. Xie.
He lowered his eyes to glance at Li Hongying, who was almost fainting from the pain, and asked calmly, "Mom, are you going to take this person away, or should I?"
Mrs. Xie pointed the gun at Li Hongying's other leg and sneered, "No one has ever dared to point at my nose and make me suffer such humiliation. I will definitely take that person away."
"Bang--!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Hongying was shot in the other leg.
“Ahhhh!!!”
The shrill screams rang out again.
Mrs. Xie is the eldest daughter of a prominent family in Hong Kong. She has been arrogant and domineering since she was young and never willing to suffer any loss.
Li Hongying is just a minor character, but she still won't let her go, just because this woman dared to curse her whole family!
Madam Xie said coldly: "Uncle Quan, take her away. I want her to live a life worse than death!"
"Yes, ma'am—"
Uncle Quan dragged Li Hongying away as if he was dragging a dead dog.
Two brightly colored bloodstains were left on the floor of the corridor.
Li Hongying knew that her life was completely over, and she looked at Madam Xie, Xie Lanzhi, and Qin Shu with hatred.
"Xie Lanzhi, you will die a miserable death! You will be punished for playing with my feelings!"
"I must be blind to fall for you! You irresponsible man!"
"Wait——" Qin Shu suddenly called out to someone.
Uncle Quan turned around and looked at the young lady who was walking towards him with a pregnant belly.
