Chapter 408 Let's all get out of here
Zhu Yao burst into tears, completely losing her composure, and reached out to grab Fang Li, but was separated by Han Xi and Xu Fangye.
The two protected Fang Li and retreated, while Zhu Yao was immediately held down by hotel staff.
"Is everything okay?"
Fang Li was surprised that Xu Fangye would come in person. She shook her head, smiled slightly at Han Xi who was looking worried, and then looked at Zhu Yao who was kneeling there.
“I know you’re taking the civil service exam recently. Once you get involved in a case, that path is completely over. But even if someone as wicked as you passes the exam, he might not serve the public well in the future.”
"Zhu Yao, you brought this upon yourself, so you have no one to blame but yourself!"
"No, please, please, Xu Fangli..."
He was still crying and begging, unwilling to give up, when two policemen walked in from the door.
Upon seeing this, Xu Fangye went over without saying a word and pulled Zhu Yao up from the ground. The lawyer Xu Fangye brought exchanged a few words with the other party, and then the four of them left together.
Only after Zhu Yao's crying faded from the hall did everyone come to their senses.
All eyes turned to Fang Li.
Looking at Fang Li again, her gaze lightly swept across the phone screen, as if selecting the next target to be dealt with.
In an instant, everyone present fell silent, their minds racing as they tried to figure out if they had ever offended Xu Fangli in any way back then.
"What's going on? I saw two police officers take Zhu Yao away?"
Huang Pengde, having seemingly finished digesting the information, pushed open the door at just the right moment and asked, "What's wrong with Zhu Yao?"
He walked toward his seat, completely unaware of the strange atmosphere in the hall. The people who had initially 'condemned' Fang Li with him were all cowering, looking as frightened as quails.
After scanning around and seeing that no one answered, Huang Pengde turned his gaze to Lin Miao, who was standing next to Song Yuchen.
"Lin Miao, what happened?"
Lin Miao's face turned ugly as she glared at Fang Li with resentment.
At this moment, Huang Pengde realized something, frowned, and looked at Fang Li.
Fang Li raised an eyebrow: "Huang Pengde, you've come back just in time."
"........What do you mean?"
Huang Pengde hadn't yet grasped the meaning of those words when the others in the hall closed their eyes in resignation, some unable to bear the sight.
"You seem to have done quite well these past few years. You're the vice president of Xingrui Materials, right?"
Huang Pengde frowned deeply, "What exactly are you trying to say!"
“Your parents divorced early and then remarried. You grew up with your mother and stepfather. Unfortunately, after your mother remarried, she had two more children with your stepfather. You didn’t receive much attention at home, so you worked hard to climb the ladder.”
"..." Huang Pengde's pupils constricted, and he was already getting restless.
Fang Li continued, "Although Xingrui Materials is just a small company, it was acquired by the Xu Group last year because of a small patent. Now it can barely be considered a third-tier subsidiary of the Xu Group, right?"
"You... how do you know all this?!"
Seeing the fear in Huang Pengde's eyes, Fang Li smiled faintly and said, "What do you think?"
She glanced at Xu Fangye beside her, then her gaze sharpened and she said, "Was it you who spread rumors about me with the students from the vocational school next door during the first semester of my senior year?"
Huang Pengde's expression changed slightly, and he nervously glanced at the classmates around him. Although he felt uneasy, he was unwilling to admit defeat in front of everyone.
He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have any evidence? What makes you say it was me! Besides, even if it were me, so what? So many years have passed. It's just a few baseless accusations. What can you do to me?"
Those who watched Fang Li settle old scores throughout the entire process could already foresee Huang Pengde's fate.
Lin Miao rolled her eyes at Huang Pengde, speechless. What an idiot!
Fang Li smiled silently, then without even looking at him, turned her head directly to Xu Fangye beside her and said, "Brother, did you hear that?"
elder brother?
Everyone had just noticed that the man looked somewhat like Xu Fangli, but they never expected that he was actually Xu Fangli's brother.
Xu Fangye smiled and said, "Of course."
Before Huang Pengde could figure out what was going on, he heard that Xu Fangli's brother was involved.
So what if it's her brother!
"Xu Fangli, you're not going to ask your brother to help you get revenge, are you? What, so many years have passed, and suddenly you feel indignant and want your brother to beat me up?"
Huang Pengde continued to sneer dismissively, leaning on the table and looking at Fang Li with disdain: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, hitting someone is illegal! Also, since you know I'm from the Xu Group, you still dare to provoke me?!"
When the Xu Group was mentioned, some classmates looked uncertain.
Almost everyone in Haicheng knows about the Xu Group.
Although Huang Pengde was only the vice president of a small company under the Xu family, he was ultimately a member of the Xu family. Xu Fangli, she…
Do not!
wrong!
The first person to realize the problem was not one of the classmates, nor Huang Pengde himself, but Lin Miao, who had been silent for a long time.
She suddenly looked at Fang Li, then at Xu Fangye, who stood beside her with an imposing presence and dressed in high-end bespoke clothing.
No...
Xu Fangli, Xu Fangli, she, she can't be!
How could she?!
She could never be a member of the Xu family, otherwise why would she have remained silent and allowed them to bully her in secret?
Yes, it's definitely a coincidence!
Lin Miao kept trying to convince herself of this, but once a thought popped up, it was like a wildfire that would only grow stronger and stronger, and no matter how much she tried to deceive herself, she couldn't suppress it.
"Who said I was going to hit you?"
Fang Li curled her lips, and then saw Xu Fangye take out his phone and make a call.
The other party answered quickly.
Xu Fangye looked at Huang Pengde with a lazy yet sharp gaze, and said, "Go check if there is a person named Huang Pengde in Xingrui Materials."
On the other end of the phone was the head of Xu's planning department. After a brief pause, he replied, "It seems there's someone surnamed Huang. His uncle is the general manager of Haihuang International in the Haibin District. You suddenly asked who this person is...?"
"It's nothing, just settling some accounts."
"Settle accounts? He owes you money?"
Uncertainty began to creep into Huang Pengde's eyes as he looked at Xu Fangye's sinister smile, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead without him even realizing it.
Xu Fangye sneered: "Tell Xingrui to find someone else as vice president starting tomorrow. Also... tell his uncle to appear in the Starry Sky Hall of the Pearl Hotel within ten minutes. I'll give him a chance to explain. Otherwise, he and his nephew will be fired."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Pengde's lips had turned completely white.
"Who...who are you? What gives you the right to decide my fate!"
Xu Fangye raised his hand. "Shut up. From now on, I don't want to hear you say a word. We'll talk about it properly when your uncle comes. How exactly did you get the position of vice president of Xingrui Materials?"
