Global alert! SSSSS-class overlord released from prison!

"What? Compensate her?"

The middle-aged woman was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

"Why should I compensate her?"

"On what grounds?" Xiang Fan sneered.

"Just because your son colluded with others to frame Luan Xin and attempted to do something indecent to her!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's expression changed drastically, and she retorted sharply.

"Impossible! You're spreading rumors!"

"My son, Xiaoliang, works abroad; he's a respectable social elite. How could he possibly do something like this!"

At this point, she seemed to suddenly realize something and pointed at Xiang Fan, screaming.

"Oh! I see! You're trying to renege on your debt! You're deliberately spreading rumors to slander my son!"

"You have to compensate me for this!"

"Otherwise, I'll report you to the authorities for defamation!"

Seeing that she was completely obsessed with money, Xiang Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Spreading rumors and slander?"

"Everyone in the hall saw it! Just grab anyone and they can tell you the truth!"

"Why don't you ask why your son's leg was broken? And why he lost his job?"

"This..." The middle-aged woman was speechless for a moment.

Her son only said that his leg was broken and he lost his job, and that it was all Luan Xin's fault.

But they didn't explain the specific reason at all!

For a moment, a sense of panic rose in her heart.

Could it be that what Xiang Fan said is true?

Just as she was feeling unsettled, Xiang Fan's voice rang out again.

"Just because he colluded with others and plotted against Luan Xin, he almost caused her both physical and psychological harm."

"This one alone warrants a minimum loss of ten million!"

"W-what? Ten million!"

The middle-aged woman froze, then screamed.

"Why don't you just rob it?"

"Robbery? You think this is too much? This isn't over yet!"

Xiang Fan snorted coldly and continued.

"You just verbally abused Luan Xin in front of everyone, causing her emotional distress."

"This one, the compensation is five million!"

"Furthermore, you publicly spread rumors that she was dating a wealthy man, damaging her reputation. For this alone, you must pay another five million!"

Ten million, five million, five million.

In total, it's a full twenty million!

Upon hearing this number, the middle-aged woman trembled.

She's never even seen such a large sum of money, let alone lost it!

She immediately shouted.

"Why should you dictate the price? I don't accept that!"

"On what grounds?" Xiang Fan sneered.

"You just asked for an exorbitant price, and I didn't haggle over a single cent!"

"Of course, you can choose not to give it to me. At worst, I'll report it to the authorities!"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll send your son to jail!"

These words struck the middle-aged woman like a heavy hammer, leaving her face filled with panic.

"But...but I don't have that much money!"

"Could you please lower the price? Please, I beg you!"

"Make an exception?" Xiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

"When you asked Luan Xin for money just now, why didn't you consider making an exception?"

"Now you're scared? Too late!"

The middle-aged woman's face turned ashen instantly, and her body trembled.

Before she could react, Xiang Fan spoke again.

"By the way, you just said your son booked a VIP room and invited the owner of Qingmu Villa to accompany him?"

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Zhongtian beside him.

"Boss Chu, are you aware of this?"

Chu Zhongtian was already seething with anger, and upon hearing this, he immediately spoke in a cold voice.

"The VIP room at Aoki Villa is not available for reservation today."

"I never agreed to have dinner with anyone!"

Chu Zhongtian's words stunned everyone present.

The middle-aged woman's face was deathly pale.

Xiang Fan said "Oh," and looked at the middle-aged woman with a sneer.

"So, you were lying to me just now?"

"Five hundred thousand in fraudulent gains—that's a particularly large amount, isn't it?"

"He's definitely going to jail!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, hurriedly trying to explain herself.

"I...I didn't!"

"That's what Xiao Liang told me, how was I supposed to know it was fake!"

At this moment, she was no longer the shrew she had been before.

Xiang Fan sneered.

"He told you that?"

"So you're asking for 500,000 right off the bat? That's not something he taught you, is it?"

"This..." The middle-aged woman was speechless.

She was just trying to take advantage of Xiang Fan's generosity to extort more money.

Who would have thought that they would end up shooting themselves in the foot!

She hurriedly stuffed the check in her hand into Xiang Fan's hand, crying and pleading.

"I don't want the money anymore, here you go!"

"Please, spare me this time!"

But Xiang Fan dodged to the side, not stopping at all.

"Give it back to me if you don't want it anymore?"

"Then go ask them, if you steal someone's money and then return it, will the judge let you off the hook?"

"If you dared to ask for it, you should bear the consequences!"

Seeing that Xiang Fan refused to accept the money and acted as if it were a business matter, the middle-aged woman panicked completely.

Suddenly, she knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly and wailing.

"I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

"I was blind to your greatness! Please forgive me this time!"

"Please don't send me to jail!"

Xiang Fan showed no pity whatsoever for the middle-aged woman's pleas for mercy.

"Now you know you were wrong? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"When you threw a tantrum demanding eight million, didn't you know you were wrong?"

"When you were greedy and extorting 500,000, how could you not know you were wrong?"

"You think you can just kneel down and say you were wrong and expect me to forgive you? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chu Zhongtian.

"President Chu, you should know how to handle this kind of thing that happened at Qingmu Manor."

Chu Zhongtian nodded immediately, his face serious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I'll report it to the authorities immediately!"

"If she dares to extort you, I guarantee she'll rot in jail!"

Chu Zhongtian's words became the last straw that broke the middle-aged woman's back.

She collapsed to the ground, her gaze frantically turning to Chen Hong, pleading with a sob in her voice.

"Third sister, third sister, please speak up for me!"

"We're sisters, you can't just stand by and watch us die!"

Seeing her disheveled appearance, a hint of pity flashed in Chen Hong's eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, Luan Xin stopped him.

Just now, when this woman pointed at her and started cursing and even made exorbitant demands, she didn't show her any consideration whatsoever.

It's too late to beg for mercy or try to appeal to our sympathy now!

Seeing Chen Hong remain silent, the middle-aged woman's face turned ashen.

At this point, security guards came forward, lifted her up, and dragged her away.

Only after the middle-aged woman's figure had completely disappeared did Luan Xin look at Xiang Fan with a face full of gratitude.

"Xiang Fan, thank you for helping me again."

"Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Seeing the emotion in her eyes, Xiang Fan smiled slightly, his voice full of tenderness.

Between us, is there still a need to say "thank you"?

These words instantly reminded Luan Xin of her confession in the VIP room.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head, pursing her lips without saying a word.

Xiang Fan then turned to look at Chen Hong and asked softly.

"Auntie, were you frightened just now?"

"No, no." Chen Hong shook her head, looking at Xiang Fan, hesitant to speak.

Xiang Fan could see her concerns and immediately spoke up.

"Auntie, don't worry, I was just bluffing when I said I'd make her spend the rest of her life in jail."

"But people like this won't learn their lesson unless they're taught a lesson!"

"Let her spend a few days in jail and apologize to you, then we'll call it even."

"However, her son must go in!"

Hearing this, Chen Hong finally felt relieved, and her eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Xiang Fan, thank you!"

Seeing this, Chu Zhongtian quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, smiling as he spoke.

"Gentlemen, it's lunchtime now, why don't we move to the VIP room?"

"I have prepared a small amount of wine as a token of my hospitality as the host."

Xiang Fan did not refuse, and the group then headed to the VIP room.

Soon, the group took their seats in the VIP room for a meal.

It must be said that Qingmu Manor has its own unique features that have made it famous.

While not as luxurious as the Grand Hotel, it is elegant and tranquil.

The dishes are fresh, fragrant, and authentic.

For a time, everyone enjoyed the meal immensely!

After a hearty meal, Xiang Fan exchanged a few pleasantries with Chu Zhongtian before driving Luan Xin and her daughter home.

Once downstairs, Luan Xin tugged at Chen Hong's arm and whispered.

"Mom, you go upstairs first. I have something to say to Xiang Fan."

Chen Hong smiled knowingly, responded, and went upstairs.

Only when the door upstairs closed did Luan Xin look at Xiang Fan again, her eyes filled with determination.

"Xiang Fan, no matter how much danger surrounds you, I'm willing to stay by your side!"

After saying that, she suddenly leaned close to Xiang Fan and gently touched his face with her small mouth, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Immediately, her face flushed red, and like a startled fawn, she quickly ran upstairs.

Only after Luan Xin's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs did Xiang Fan raise his hand to touch his cheek.

Feeling that slightly cool, damp touch, a hint of doting and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Silly girl, you'll suffer if you stay by my side..."

Even so, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Even Luan Xin has made his decision, so what is there for him to hesitate about?

No matter what difficulties he faces, he can overcome them all!

Anyone who wants to harm his woman will have to step over his dead body first!

Back in the car, Xiang Fan's phone rang.

After answering, Black Rose's voice came from the other end.

"Master, the message that just came in is that Chen Mo went to the airport, it seems he is leaving Huai City."
