Ling Yun's brothers swept through the Huo Family like locusts.
"Miss, let's take this wardrobe away!"
"Miss, take this bed away too!"
"Miss, I think the patterns on the wall are quite good!"
"Miss…"
All of a sudden, she saw a burly man walking out with a bunch of women's undergarments, leaving her bewildered.
"Hey! Cui brat, what are you doing with that? Those are for women. Put it down!" Ling Yun roared in frustration, his face turning red with embarrassment.
"Huh? They look pretty good. I want to give them to my mother." Cui Sheng rolled up the items in his hand and wrapped them in a piece of cloth. He didn't understand what Ling Yun meant. He just thought these things looked nice.
Xiang Wan looked at the dazzling array of clothes and thought to herself, "This old man Huo is quite a player behind, huh?" She gave Huo Song a meaningful glance.
When Huo Song saw those items, his face turned so red that it could drip blood. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
He glared at Xiang Wan intensely again. It was all because of this woman that he was so embarrassed!
Liu Lu looked at the chaotic scene before her, crazily trying to stop the people from moving things, but she was being controlled on the ground, unable to even lift her head. She could only cry.
Liu Gang led his men around the house again and again, almost tearing the house apart, but they just couldn't find anything valuable. They only managed to find a few coins in the wardrobe.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case!
The Huo Family was living a prosperous life. Liu Gang would never believe that this was all the money they had.
Xiang Wan wasn't surprised at all. A person like Huo Song must have hidden his money. Having a dozen or so coins would be enough for his daily life.
Xiang Wan gave Liu Gang a trusting look, signaling him to stay calm.
"I'm only here today to inform you that I'll take back this house whether you like it or not." She glanced at Huo Song and his wife, taking in their miserable state.
"B*tch, just you wait. I'll put you in jail! I'll make you die a horrible death! You little whore!" Huo Song cursed.
Xiang Wan rubbed her ears irritably, selectively ignoring his foul language.
"I originally thought we could compromise, but it seems you're not willing to. So, I'll proceed with my methods. The things I've moved out will be considered the interest for these years. I'll be back tomorrow, and I hope by then you'll have packed your things and prepared for compensation. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer! Do you still want to be a factory manager? Dream on!"
Xiang Wan no longer paid attention to their wailing, ushering Chu Ying and the others to carry the things and leave.
Huo Song could only watch helplessly as Xiang Wan led her people away. He couldn't do anything.
Liu Lu could no longer control her emotions and burst into a loud rant, "I'll kill them! I'll kill them!! Those damn b*stards, I want them to rot in hell!"
"Shut up! What's the point of yelling!" Huo Song scolded his wife, who was going crazy.
"Well, what do you suggest then? They've torn my home apart! Why is this happening to me!" Liu Lu sat on the ground, kicking her legs in distress while crying.
"Stop shouting. Do you think it's not embarrassing enough?" Huo Song scolded loudly, then whispered to Liu Lu, "Hurry up and bring me the things I told you to hide! Be discreet about it!"
Liu Lu hesitated for a moment as if remembering something. She stopped crying and stood up.
She walked to the stairwell, crouched down, and began searching in the crevices of the wall. Soon, she retrieved a vintage-looking safe box.
No one would have thought that the item was hidden in such a concealed place! No wonder they couldn't find it!
There was a removable brick at the corner of the staircase, and they had already dug a small pit under the wall to place the box.
"Why did you ask me to find this?" Liu Lu held onto the box as if it were a treasure, afraid of dropping it.
"Give it to me. Why so much nonsense!" Huo Song lowered his voice, urging Liu Lu to hand it over quickly.
"Go to the factory and apply for a few days of leave for us. Then, go look for the children and tell them to stay in school for the next few days or go to your mother's place. Tell them that the house is undergoing renovation and can't be lived in. Don't tell them about what happened today," Huo Song said to Liu Lu as he took out a few notes from the box.
"I'll leave while it's still early. I'll be back soon. After I leave, just close the door and refuse to see anyone, understand?" Huo Song was worried that Liu Lu would give away their intentions and reminded her several times.
"Where are you going?" Liu Lu asked, fear evident in her voice.
