“But we don’t have anywhere else to go! Just plead with them and persuade your younger brother to let us hide there for a few days,” Gao Hai begged.

“Alright, let’s leave tonight then,” Zheng Juan said.

In the middle of the night, Gao Hai and Zheng Juan packed their things and were about to leave Hu City with Gao Le when they were stopped by Qiao Mei and her men.

“Fourth Great-granduncle, where are you going?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

“Brat! You still have the cheek to ask me! Move aside!” Gao Hai said in a low voice.

“If I yell now, you probably won’t be able to leave anymore. Let’s have a chat,” Qiao Mei said.

“What do you want?” Zheng Juan asked.

Qiao Mei pointed at the Gao family’s bungalow behind them and said, “Fairness. Sell the house to us and also hand over everything that belongs to the Gao family. If you do that, I’ll let you go.”

“This is too much! Do you think you call the shots in Hu City! You’re infringing on our personal freedom! You’re breaking the law!” Zheng Juan said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei shrugged innocently and said, “If you think that I’m breaking the law, then go and ask the police to arrest me. I’m not restricting you in any way. I’m just letting the public see you for who you are.”

Gao Hai and Zheng Juan were already at their wits’ end and knew that they could not stay in Hu City anymore. Rather than waste time with Qiao Mei here, it was better for them to sell the house and get some travel funds in return.

“We’ll sell it! We want 500,000 dollars!” Zheng Juan said.

“The market price is 40,000 dollars,” Qiao Mei said.

“40,000 dollars! One floor will already cost you 40,000 dollars! This is daylight robbery!” Zheng Juan said in shock.

“I’ll give you some time to think about it,” Qiao Mei said.

Gao Hai looked at Zheng Juan helplessly and whispered, “This girl is determined to nail us. Just sell it to her for 40,000 dollars! We need to ensure our survival now! If our past is exposed, we won’t be able to stay alive!”

Zheng Juan gritted her teeth and said, “40,000 dollars then! But it’s too late to go through all the procedures now. Let’s do it tomorrow!”

As long as they could stall for some time, they could leave Hu City quietly and it would be difficult for Qiao Mei to catch hold of them again!

“It’s not late at all. They’re all waiting for us!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

She had already paid for the professionals to be on standby. All that was needed was for Gao Hai to produce the title deed and sign the transfer documents. Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem at all.

“Asshole! We won’t let you off!” Zheng Juan said angrily.

The transfer procedure went smoothly. After that, Qiao Mei handed the money to Gao Hai and watched them leave. She had no intention of letting them off scot-free.

“Go and contact our people. Let’s begin,” Qiao Mei said coldly.

“Yes.” With that, the bodyguard disappeared into the night.

Qiao Mei was not going to let Gao Hai and his family leave with a single cent. She had already hired some people to rob them. She was not only going to take the money she just gave him, but also his own money as well.

In the dark of the night, a group of people suddenly barged into Gao Hai r s home. They started grabbing everything inside, including the clothes, furniture and even the pots and pans.

At first, the neighbors switched on the lights to take a look at what was going on. When they saw such a big group of people, they simply switched off the lights and pretended not to see or hear anything.

“Help! Help us! Who are you!” Zheng Juan shouted helplessly.

“Call the police! Help!” Gao Hai yelled.

“You still dare to shout so loudly? Beat them up!” a robber shouted as he pointed at Gao Hai and Zheng Juan.

All the robbers kept raining punches on the couple. Although the couple would not die from the beating, it left them bruised and swollen all over, enough to make them feel uncomfortable for a while.

“My money! All my savings! All gone!” Zheng Juan knelt on the ground and wailed.

“It must be that little brat! She must have sent someone to snatch our things!’ Gao Hai said fiercely.

“What’s the point of saying all this now! Why did I marry a good-for-nothing like you! How am I going to survive in the future!” Zheng Juan said aggrievedly.

“Why didn’t you say such things when you were enjoying life with me back then! Now, you’re blaming me! If I don’t have such an extravagant wife like you, all my assets will still be intact!” Gao Hai complained..
