Chapter 283: Obtaining the Store and Tricking the Zhang Family (5)_1
freeωebnovēl.c૦m As soon as the words were spoken, the room fell silent. Zhang Fugui’s eyes flashed with a ruthless light, but they also shimmered with unease. Zhang Ming, who was supporting Madam Hu, turned even paler, seemingly unable to stand properly, while Madam Hu herself stopped her scolding and stared at Mo Yan with flickering eyes, wanting to lash out but not daring to step forward.
Zhang Fugui quickly regained his composure and, pointing at Mo Yan with a fierce yet anxious expression, exclaimed, "Nonsense! I sold the shop solely to you. If you’re unwilling to grant the Zhang Family a couple of days’ grace, there’s no need to slander me like this. Watch out, or I might just take this to the Government Office and sue you."
"Tsk!" Mo Yan scoffed, her gaze brimming with mockery as she watched Zhang Fugui’s aged face turn from red to white. Having grown up in an era of information explosion, she had heard of countless scam tactics, even if she hadn’t experienced them firsthand. The Zhang Family’s petty schemes were hardly impressive to her.
"Boss Zhang, you know exactly what you’ve done. I’m only interested in the shop, and I’ll refrain from meddling in other matters. If you’re sensible, you’ll accompany me to the Government Office to transfer the ownership. If you want to play tough, you’ll have to see if the Zhang Family can actually bear the weight," Mo Yan declared firmly.
After her speech, Zhang Fugui’s faced alternated between shades of green and white. Madam Hu opened her mouth to curse, but was hurriedly stopped by Zhang Ming. She might not understand, but he did. If what his father had done was exposed, their whole family would surely face dire consequences.
Zhang Fugui glared at Mo Yan, teeth clenched, and asked, "You really won’t divulge this matter?"
How could she possibly?
That’s what Mo Yan thought to herself, but outwardly she assumed a resolute demeanor, "Of course, as long as you transfer the shop to my name today, you may deal with the rest as you please. I have no connection to those people, and what they do is none of my business. However, as tight-lipped as I am, I don’t do these things for free, Boss Zhang. If you want my silence, you’ll have to pay a price."
