Chapter 413 There is one more person
The driver was terrified; he broke out in a cold sweat.
After regaining his composure, he ripped off his seatbelt, angrily opened the door, got out of the car, and strode towards the figure that had suddenly darted out.
The driver of the car behind also got out, and the two of them surrounded the people in front of the car.
"Are you out of your mind?! How do you walk like that?!"
The driver grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him up. Only then did Fang Li and the others see the man's face clearly. It was Huang Pengde, whom they had seen just last night.
However, he was still wearing the same clothes as last night, but he was disheveled and looked nothing like the energetic person he was last night.
The driver didn't recognize him and, seeing his appearance, mistook him for a drunkard with a hangover. He was so angry that he was about to grab the man by the collar and give him another lecture.
At this moment, Fang Li rolled down the car window and said, "Brother Liu, let him go."
"Miss, this man is acting suspiciously, I'm afraid of him..."
"It's okay, he's my classmate."
One sentence made Brother Liu pause for a moment and let go of his hand, but Huang Pengde looked like he had seen a savior, his eyes lit up and he immediately rushed to the side of the car.
"Xu Fangli, Fangli... No! No! Miss Xu, Miss Xu, I was blind before, I didn't recognize your greatness. Please, please forgive my mistake and give me another chance. Don't let your brother dismiss me!"
Looking at Huang Pengde like this, Fang Li felt a deep sadness.
If she were just an ordinary person, how would she cope with the way they treated her last night?
If his life and death were not in her hands, would he still be so humble and plead with her to admit his mistakes?
The answer is of course no.
Everyone present knew this.
so.......
Fang Li's expression turned slightly cold as she spoke, "Huang Pengde, I remember we were already classmates in the first year of high school, right?"
Not understanding why Fang Li would suddenly bring this up, Huang Pengde stood outside the car window, slightly hunched over, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "Yes, I sat behind you for all three years of high school."
Seeing him so humble for the first time, Fang Li couldn't quite manage a smile.
"We've been classmates for three years, and this is the first time you've spoken to me so politely."
“........” Huang Pengde’s heart skipped a beat.
“Xu Fang… Miss Xu, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed and stupid to treat you like that. You’re right, we were high school classmates after all. For the sake of those years we were classmates, could you…”
What is a classmate?
"......"
Do you guys even consider me a classmate?
"I......."
"You bullied me because you thought I was easy to bully, but now that my status has changed, you're coming to beg for mercy?"
Fang Li sneered: "Do I look stupid?"
"........"
"For the sake of our classmates from those years... it would be better if you didn't mention those years, because your mentioning them only reminds me of how terrible my high school years were!"
Fang Li's voice suddenly turned sharp, startling even Huang Pengde outside the car.
“I will never forget what you and Lin Miao did. I didn’t hold it against you before because I thought it was all in the past and I was too lazy to look back, but now... there’s absolutely no way you’ll let me off the hook!”
"Since you're here today, please pass on my message to Lin Miao when you get back. Don't think that just because she lost her job, it's over. Rest assured, the evil deeds she committed are yet to come!"
"......"
The car window slowly rolled up, and Fang Li was too lazy to pay any more attention to Huang Pengde.
The driver glared at him fiercely, opened the car door, and got in.
Soon, the two cars started up one after the other, roared onto the main road, leaving Huang Pengde with a trail of exhaust fumes.
-
It wasn't until Lin Miao left the company building carrying her personal belongings that she truly realized the Xu family's status in Haicheng.
What does it mean to be a century-old family, and what does it mean to have absolute power? She understood completely the moment she was inexplicably called to her boss's office and fired the first thing this morning when she arrived at work.
There's no reason needed, double compensation is acceptable, but she absolutely must be dismissed.
Lin Miao has gone mad.
She had a huge argument with the boss in the office, throwing the company into chaos. The boss, unable to tolerate it any longer, finally told her the truth:
"Why do you think I fired you? Lin Miao, since you're making a scene, I might as well tell you the truth: it was the Xu family, it was the Xu family who made the announcement that from today onwards, no company in Haicheng is allowed to hire you!"
"......"
"You've offended the Xu family and you still want to stay in Haicheng? Get out of here! Don't drag us down with you!"
Lin Miao hugged the box and looked up at the blazing autumn sun.
Despite the pleasant weather, she felt a bone-chilling cold.
Xu Fangli, the Xu family...!
"Hey."
Huang Pengde: "Xu Fangli said that it's not over yet."
After saying just that one sentence, Huang Pengde hung up the phone.
Judging from Huang Pengde's tone on the phone, Lin Miao knew that he wasn't doing much better than she was right now.
It's not over yet...
Lin Miao loosened her grip, and the box in her arms fell to the ground with a thud, scattering its contents all over the floor.
She stood there dumbfounded, chuckling softly.
"Hehehehe... It's not over yet... It's not over yet..."
Lin Miao's eyes were red from laughing. After she had laughed enough, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the ground, feeling weak and powerless.
Cutting off all her paths in Haicheng wasn't the end of it?
Xu Fangli, are you trying to force everyone to die by being so ruthless?!

After rushing for a while, the three arrived at the airport just as the airport announcements were broadcasting flight landing information.
The three walked towards the exit and waited for more than ten minutes before seeing a large number of people come out.
One by one, a striking group of figures soon appeared in the crowd.
"grandfather?"
Fang Li was surprised: "Why is he here too!"
Han Xi: "I sent him."
As they spoke, the group hurried over to greet them.
Although Han Guodong is over seventy years old, his physical condition is far superior to that of Xu Qingrang, who is the same age. He walks ahead with a tall and strong posture, looking no more than sixty years old.
Shen Ruyan, still dressed in a stylish outfit, walked in the middle wearing sunglasses and carrying a bag.
Behind them were Han Ming and Lin Wenfang. Lin Wenfang had difficulty walking and was being supported by Han Ming while leaning on a cane.
Four bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses followed behind them, carrying their luggage.
"Grandpa, Mom!"
As Fang Li and Han Xi approached, Han Guodong's serious face immediately broke into a smile, and Shen Ruyan also took off her sunglasses and happily took Fang Li's hand.
"We could have gone by ourselves, why did you make a special trip? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Fang Li smiled and said, "We just arrived too."
After speaking, Fang Li looked at Han Ming and Lin Wenfang behind her, her smile fading slightly, "Grandma, Father."
The two glanced at Fang Li with indifferent expressions, without saying a word.
Han Xi's expression immediately turned cold, and Fang Li quickly and secretly grabbed his hand, then turned to look at Shen Ruyan and Han Guodong with a smile.
"Are you tired? The car is right outside. Let's go home for lunch and rest for a while. I'll take you to Haicheng for a stroll this afternoon!"
With that, the group headed towards the exit.
Han Ming, standing behind him, suddenly said, "Wait."
The group stopped, and Fang Li turned around in confusion, not noticing that Shen Ruyan and Han Guodong's expressions had both darkened slightly.
Han Xi noticed this, frowned, and looked at his father.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wenfang said, "There's one more person. We'll wait for her to arrive before we leave."
