Liu Yutong had just left with the photo in hand, confidently declaring that her Ten Thousand Dragons Society was a legitimate company and that those men in black were merely employees wearing the company’s uniform.
The next moment, the so-called "employees" she had spoken of stormed into the Jiang residence and ground a man in his sixties into the floor.
When the crowd finally snapped out of their shock at the scene, someone stared at the extremely ferocious purple-haired girl and couldn’t help but ask,
"Miss Liu, these seem to be your people, right?"
Liu Yutong looked at the men in black, then at Jiang Yuan being pinned to the ground, and said awkwardly, "It seems... yes."
She admitted it!
She actually admitted it just like that!
Every guest in the room suddenly felt a wave of dread wash over them. This girl had lost her mind—absolutely lost it!
Now let’s see how you explain yourself to the Jiang family!
Sure enough, Old Madam Jiang’s face turned extremely grim.
Just moments ago, she had looked kindly on the girl because of the Madam’s favor, but now the girl had given her such a "wonderful surprise"—having her men storm the Jiang residence and assault a guest of the Jiang family.
Even if the Madam thought well of her, even if the top leader had praised her, this matter had to be settled today.
"Liu girl, what do you mean by this?"
"Today is my eightieth birthday banquet, and you send your men to break into my home and beat my guest. Do you take the Jiang family for some kind of doormat?"
The other members of the Jiang family were also indignant, stepping forward one after another to demand an explanation.
"Miss Liu, please explain yourself!"
"You must give the Jiang family an account of this today!"
Lin Dong, Lin Yi, and the other members of the Lin family looked as though they had swallowed flies.
They had been overjoyed moments ago that the Madam favored Liu Yutong, only to have her spring this shocking surprise on them right afterward.
Right in front of all the elite families of the capital, she had her men charge into the Jiang residence and attack someone.
They wanted to blurt out: Miss, are you messing with us?
If you want to cause trouble, don’t do it at the Jiang residence!
The Jiang family was no ordinary household.
Old Madam Jiang was someone the Madam herself had called "Auntie Jiang."
If this matter wasn’t handled well, not only would Liu Yutong be in trouble, but the Lin family would also suffer for it.
"Yutong, you... you’ve taken this too far! Couldn’t you have dealt with this somewhere else? Hurry up and apologize to Old Madam Jiang—"
Before Lin Dong could finish his sentence, Liu Yutong raised her hand to stop him.
Addressing the crowd with an apologetic tone, she said, "Grandma Jiang, and everyone here, I’m sorry. This really was an accident."
"Would you believe me if I said we really are a legitimate company?"
The people exchanged glances, then looked out at the sea of men in black and Jiang Yuan still groaning on the ground.
They silently asked themselves: Do we look like we believe you?
Just look at those men in black—they don’t resemble any legitimate company’s employees.
And that Jiang Yuan, who had been chatting so cheerfully with you just a moment ago and didn’t seem to have offended you, ended up beaten by you.
Aside from arrogant and lawless, the guests couldn’t think of any other words to describe her.
Old Madam Jiang and the Jiang family almost laughed out of sheer anger.
Hundreds of men in black storming the Jiang residence and beating someone like this, and you call it an accident?
"Liu Yutong, do you take us for three-year-olds?!"
"You must give us an explanation today! Otherwise, even if the Madam thinks highly of you, the Jiang family will not let this go!"
"..."
"I’ll give you an explanation."
With that, Liu Yutong walked toward the girl who had just kicked Jiang Yuan to the ground.
This girl was about twenty years old, wearing a purple wig and carrying a large megaphone in her hand.
When she saw Liu Yutong approaching, she immediately ran over excitedly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa... Sis Yutong, how was my work? That old guy tried to run, but I caught him red-handed with my people!"
Liu Yutong looked at this carefree girl and felt a headache coming on.
Li Xiaohui.
One of the founding members of the Ten Thousand Dragons Society, her college classmate, and her best friend.
The girl was great in every way except for being too impulsive.
More importantly, when had she arrived in the capital? And why hadn’t Liu Yutong known about it?
"Xiaohui, what are you doing here?"
Li Xiaohui replied smugly, "I brought the Purple Lord team here for a competition, and I happened to hear you were in the capital trying to catch someone, so I came over."
"Catching people is my specialty! And I even bought a special command tool." She shook the megaphone in her hand.
"So, surprise or not? Exciting or not?"
Liu Yutong: "..."
Surprise was an understatement.
Good thing the Madam had left early, or if she had run into this, Liu Yutong wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
She might even have ended up surrounded by countless people in uniform.
Of course, that was an exaggeration.
Li Xiaohui then noticed the tense atmosphere in the room. A bunch of well-dressed people were staring at her like she was a monster, and she asked curiously, "Sis Yutong, what’s going on here? Looks lively!"
Liu Yutong briefly explained the situation and the identities of the people in the room.
As Li Xiaohui listened, her excited expression gradually froze.
"Sis Yutong... did I mess up?"
Before Liu Yutong could answer, she quickly comforted herself: "It’s okay! Ignorance is not a crime. I’ll apologize and explain everything!"
Then, gripping her megaphone, she walked toward Old Madam Jiang and the others, drawing terrified stares from the crowd.
Some of the more timid guests even took a few steps back, afraid of catching her attention.
After all, everyone had seen her heroic kick that sent Jiang Yuan to the ground just moments ago.
They feared they might suffer a similar misfortune if they stood too close.
From their perspective, if even a man of Jiang Yuan’s status could be beaten for no reason, what chance did they have?
Old Madam Jiang remained stone-faced, while the Jiang family members around her watched warily.
Li Xiaohui stopped about three meters away from Old Madam Jiang, cleared her throat, raised the megaphone to her mouth, and said,
"Testing, testing..."
"Respected leaders, respected elders, respected—uh—everyone, hello!"
Buzzzzz—
The megaphone suddenly let out a harsh screech of feedback.
Li Xiaohui was startled and quickly lowered the megaphone, muttering, "What’s going on? I just bought this! The seller said it was the latest model with super loud sound. Why the feedback?"
She smacked the megaphone a couple of times and raised it again.
"Uh, I want to explain to everyone—just now, I... buzz... meant to do it!"
She had wanted to say "I didn’t mean to do it," but the key word "didn’t" was swallowed by the feedback.
The room fell dead silent.
Old Madam Jiang’s face darkened even further.
Seeing the misunderstanding, Li Xiaohui quickly waved her hands and tried again: "No, no, I misspoke! I meant to say, the reason I beat that Jiang Yuan is because he... buzz... is a good person!"
Once again, the word "not" was lost to the feedback.
The guests: "..."
So you beat a good person? Isn’t that a bit too unreasonable?
Or rather, it's lawlessness and utter defiance!
