All people were silent.
Elsa Xu looked suspiciously at Sean Chen.
It was kind of acceptable Sean kept slandering Zhou's Family after its misfortune. Since people should change his shelter after it collapsed.
However, if Chen's Family poisoned Zhou's Family at that time, it was a murder. What a despicable person could do such a bad thing.
Facing the suspicious eyes of the public, Sean was in a cold sweat. He was not as smart and confident as he was just now.
"Stop talking nonsense. Believe me or not, you'll never get out of prison." Said Sean, trying to be calm.
Even so, everyone caught Sean's panic.
"Guards, come and cut the two's tongues, who slander Miss Xu."
Sean pushed the door open and shouted out to the door in a ferocious manner.
The security guards heard Sean's cry and came here.
Elsa looked terrible.
Sean asked the security guard to kill the man in her name.
If something bad happened, she would be the scapegoat.
Besides, there was no one who could make command for her.
Guards welled in and surrounded them.
Richie was still sitting in his chair, looking normal.
Mike confronted them face in face.
Just a few minutes later, tens of guards fell to the ground and groaned in pain.
It all happened in a second.
The crowd stared at the guards on the ground, incredibly.
Some people wanted to leave, Mike blocked them at the gate.
"Come on, Sean. Tell me everything you know." Richie's eyes were full of the center, staring at Sean not far away.
Sean didn't expect that they were so fierce.
His face was livid, and he had lost his fierceness.
"Beggar, what are you going to do? It is the territory of Xu's Family."
Under Richie's fierce gaze, Sean couldn't help but step back and threaten loudly.
Suddenly, Mike grabbed his collar and threw him to Richie.
Sean's face changed dramatically. "You, what are you going to do?"
Bang!
Richie didn't answer, just slapped him in his face.
Two bloodstained teeth were fanned out.
Fall on the ground, scared people to flee.
"Just stay here. Take us to see your father later." Richie took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.
Sean covered his face, squatted down, and kept trembling.
Richie turned to look at Elsa again.
It was the most unforgettable birthday party in her life.
"Miss Xu, let's get to the point," Richie said with a smile again.
His smile sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"What on earth do you want to say?" Elsa shouted.
"Still, the two questions. How did Vincent die? And I hope you can return the Inherited House you got through illegal means. Don't worry. I will pay you the money. "Richie said calmly.
Vincent.
It was Vincent again.
Today was her birthday. Why did this name appear at her party all the time?
Her father had repeatedly warned her to keep away from Zhou's Family, but why did he question her?
She just wanted to celebrate her birthday peacefully.
She replied calmly, enduring the anger." I feel deeply sorry for the death of Vincent, but I really don't know the cause of his death."
Before figuring out Richie's background and strength, Elsa would not provoke him nor let him control the situation.
Richie smiled and said, "I also believe in you, Miss Xu. But after Zhou's Family's misfortune, their property was divided up in an instant, and Xu's Family made a lot of profit from it. How's that? Miss Xu."
Elsa frowned and thought of the solution.
Xu's Family did get a lot of property from Zhou's Family, and most of the property she was in charge of was once owned by Zhou's Family.
But these were company secrets. How did Richie know that? He was just a little beggar.
Or maybe Richie was testing her.
"I don't deny it, but you should know that business is all about profit."
Elsa continued, "although we used some means to get this house, we got it through normal ways after Zhou's Family's misfortune."
"I don't think so. But there is no evidence to prove that you are also involved in setting up Zhou's Family." Richie retorted.
"I will visit all of you on the list, setting up Zhou's Family."
The atmosphere became serious.
It seemed that he would kill all the people who were involved in framing Zhou's Family. But they were all big shots. It was impossible to reason with them.
However, no one dared to make a noise.
In the face of Richie's doubts, Elsa looked a little embarrassed. This was related to the dignity of her family.
"It's not true. You'd better keep it lower before you find the truth, or you will be laughed at."
Everyone was stunned.
Elsa looked at Richie nervously.
"So? Miss Xu, you are saying that I am an ignorant and incompetent man who has been laughed at! "
Richie was irritated.
Everyone thought that Richie was going to give her a hard time, but he sighed heavily and said, "Alas, I'm still suffering from the loss of less education. All I learned were from Vincent when I was young. "
His eyes were full of sadness.
Richie didn't mean to do horrible things. Elsa breathed a sigh of relief.
"I still can't make a decision on returning the house of Zhou's Family. I need to go back and discuss with the elders." Elsa said calmly.
It was the first time for her to hear some details about the Inherited House of Zhou's Family from Sean.
"Miss Xu, what are you going to do?" Richie asked curiously.
"Three days. I'll give you an explanation in three days. What do you think?"
She stretched out three fingers and made a promise to Richie.
