Chapter 601 - 0603: Violating Laws and Regulations
Nangong Man Sha’s exquisitely made-up face surged with anger as she gave Shao Gang a dangerous look. The blood-red pupils of her eyes were especially piercing under the dazzling sunlight.
She looked at Shao Gang and questioned in a probing tone, "Doctor Shao, do you have anything to say?"
After all, Shao Gang was still considered a distinguished guest of the Nangong Family, so she couldn’t just openly clash with Shao Gang.
Shao Gang cleared his throat and gave a sheepish smile. In a surreptitious manner, he said, "Miss Man Sha, how could you believe what these people are saying? They are nothing but holdouts. I’ve already purchased this land, but they regard the compensation as too little, hence they stubbornly refuse to leave.
Nowadays, everyone pretends to be pitiful to gain sympathy. They live here not because I invited them to, you see. They’re willing to let so many children sleep under a bridge, hungry and cold. It’s quite pitiable to watch."
Nangong Man Sha just quietly watched him, saying nothing.
Mrs. Wu, standing behind her, could no longer listen in silence. She glared at Shao Gang, her finger trembling as she pointed at him and scolded, "Shao Gang! How dare you confuse right and wrong, black and white! It was clearly you who took things by force! You are nothing but a bandit! You are a robber!"
Shao Gang didn’t even blush when telling lies. He scoffed lightly and said, "It’s clearly because you are insatiable, wanting to extort a large sum of money from me. And now you put on this pitiful act here, hoping to gain Miss Man Sha’s sympathy? Miss Man Sha won’t believe you."
Nangong Man Sha watched Shao Gang, looking confident and self-righteous, and a flicker of doubt passed through her heart.
She was inclined to believe Chu Ge’s side of the story, and besides, the situation right in front of her showed these dozen or so children living under a bridge with their makeshift shelter and belongings, clearly indicating they had been staying here for days.
