CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 540: IF THE LAI FAMILY WANTS TO PLAY, I WILL ACCOMPANY THEM TO THE END

"Su Qianxun, if you know what’s good for you, go apologize to Wei Ran immediately. Otherwise, it’s not just your career that’s at stake—your family will pay the price for your sharp tongue!" Lai Hao sneered.

Hearing this, Qianxun suddenly smirked at Lai Hao, "Apologize to a dog? Did you really think I was scared of you earlier? You, Lai Hao, and the Lai Family might be powerful, but I’m not afraid to tell you that I have powerful backers too. I advise you to deliver the ransom to your grandma immediately; otherwise, you can try and see whether you destroy me or I... wipe out your Lai Family! If you don’t believe me, just try!"

As soon as she said this, Lai Hao’s pupils contracted slightly, then he deliberately probed, "So, it was really you who arranged for someone to break Wei Ran’s leg?" Lai Hao said with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Qianxun immediately displayed a mix of surprise and pleasure, "Wei Ran’s leg is broken? That’s truly delightful to hear! Isn’t it perfect that he’s lost his leg? After all, he was nothing but a lapdog; now he can crawl!"

Lai Hao looked visibly upset after hearing this, "Su Qianxun, it seems you really prefer punishment over a toast!"

After saying this, he threw out another threat, "I’ll be waiting for you to come crawling to me begging!"

"Really? I’m also waiting for the day you kneel and beg for my forgiveness," Qianxun said meaningfully.

Lai Hao just sneered in response.

Beg her?

With the current status of his family, why would he ever need to beg anyone?

Su Qianxun was too full of herself!

Did she really think that having a financial backer meant she was safe?

He was eager to see whether her backer would choose to abandon her, a kept woman, or choose to make an enemy of the Lai Family.

...

Soon, Lai Hao turned around with a cold expression and got back into his car.

"Check Su Qianxun’s whereabouts for the past few days!" Lai Hao instructed.

It seemed like Qianxun did not know that Wei Ran had been in a car accident, judging by her reaction.

But, it couldn’t be ruled out that she had been pretending.

Regardless, this matter needed to be thoroughly investigated.

After getting into the car, Lai Hao immediately told the driver, "To Ancient Lane Villa."

"Yes, Chairman Lai!"

After Lai Hao’s car had left, Qianxun then coldly narrowed her eyes and turned to Ruan Mianmian, "Mianmian, tell Li Hua to stick close to Xiao He at all times."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian immediately responded, "Understood, don’t worry."

"Hmm, and also check which master the Lai Family is looking to connect with this time," Qianxun added.

She felt like this matter was of utmost importance.

...

"I’ve already got someone looking into this, and we should have results soon," Ruan Mianmian said.

"Hmm, if the Lai Family wants to play it tough, I’m game," Qianxun thought defiantly.

At the same time, Huo Tianci was also packing his bags, stepping onto a plane heading to Hong Kong.

Sitting on the plane, his mind inevitably drifted to the incident a while back where Qianxun had bravely subdued a criminal on a plane and saved hundreds of passengers.

She really was unlike any other creature.

With this thought, Huo Tianci’s mind wandered slightly.

He silently pondered: Once I arrive in Hong Kong, how should I approach her?

Should I tell her that I am the reincarnation of the person she is searching for?

And if she finds out, would she be with him?

Little did he know, he was thinking way too much!
