"Yes, I am crazy, but it's you who drove me mad!" Huo Yuandong gritted his teeth and said, pointing viciously at Wang Xinling and Wang Hechen, "The Wang Family has ruined me!" If it weren't for Wang Xinling offending Hao Jian, would he have had to be at odds with Hao Jian? Now that the situation has escalated, he has lost everything! All this time, Huo Yuandong had been completely obedient to Wang Xinling because he needed Wang Hechen's help, but now that he had nothing left, there was no need to continue enduring indignities. The frustrations in his heart instantly erupted. "Wang Xinling, I want to divorce you!" Huo Yuandong bellowed like thunder. Wang Xinling was shocked, finally realizing the severity of the situation, and panicked, she grabbed Huo Yuandong's hand, "Husband, don't divorce me, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!" "In the future? Is there a future?" Huo Yuandong glared at Wang Xinling with a ferocious face. Now that he had been ruined, what was there to talk about the future? Wang Xinling was startled for a moment, becoming distraught, and then suddenly looked at Hao Jian before she knelt down with a thud, "Mr. Hao Jian, I know you're an important person. Please don't be concerned with small folks like us, we really realize our mistake. We will do anything you say, just please don't discharge my husband from military service, I beg you!" Hao Jian looked at Wang Xinling with a smile and uttered a single word from his mouth, "Scram!" Wang Xinling's expression turned numb, realizing Hao Jian would not pay her any attention. Then she turned and crawled on her knees towards Guo Shuxian, kowtowing fervently, "Miss Guo, it's all my fault, a thousand faults, ten thousand faults. I shouldn't have unwarrantedly troubled you, direct any anger at me instead. You can hit me or scold me, and I won't fight back, just please plead with your boyfriend on my behalf!" At this moment, Wang Xinling was no longer the arrogant and shrewish figure she had been, but a pitiful woman grovelling for love. Wang Xinling finally realized the consequences her bullishness and insolence could bring upon herself. Seeing Wang Xinling like this, Guo Shuxian felt some pity and said to Hao Jian, "Hao Jian, perhaps we should just let this go!" Upon hearing this, Wang Xinling and Huo Yuandong both looked at Hao Jian with hope. But Hao Jian's attitude was still unyielding, "No! If the cost of making a mistake is too low, then the world would descend into complete chaos, wouldn't it? Arrogance comes with a price. If you want to blame someone, blame her for taking herself too seriously and not taking others seriously enough!" Thinking of Wang Xinling's current state, and comparing it with her previous spiteful and cutting behavior, Hao Jian didn't find her pitiful at all, because those who are pitiable usually have their hateful sides! And Wang Xinling's hateful side lay in her complete self-righteousness! Just because her father held office, she thought she could bully others? Then Hao Jian could also play people like Wang Xinling at the snap of his fingers thanks to his status! Hearing this, Guo Shuxian merely sighed and said no more. Wang Xinling's face turned pale, while Huo Yuandong mockingly smiled at himself. "Leave Hua City within three days, otherwise, I'll make your life worse than death!" Hao Jian said to Huo Yuandong with an icy expression. Certainly, Wang Xinling was detestable, but the most detestable was Huo Yuandong; it all started because of him. If it weren't for Huo Yuandong's philandering despite having a family, Wang Xinling wouldn't have troubled Guo Shuxian, and the subsequent events wouldn't have unfolded. After his appearance, Huo Yuandong, despite knowing he was to blame, showed not a trace of remorse, but rather was bombastic and arrogant. From that moment, Hao Jian had decided to punish him severely. Hearing this, Huo Yuandong's expression stiffened as he nodded, not daring to retort. "Director Lin, I have other matters, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come to have tea with you after some time," Hao Jian said to Lin Nantian. "Of course, of course, I'll see you out!" Lin Nantian responded with a warm smile, eagerly escorting Hao Jian out. Only five minutes after Hao Jian left did Huo Yuandong, with a pale face of rage, also leave. "Husband." Wang Xinling cried with tears streaming down her face, reaching out to grab Huo Yuandong's leg. "Scram!" Huo Yuandong kicked Wang Xinling away without a hint of courtesy and swiftly walked away. Wang Xinling collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, but none of the onlooking police officers felt sympathy for her, in their eyes, Wang Xinling had brought this on herself. Not long after, Lin Nantian returned, and upon seeing Wang Xinling wailing on the ground, he couldn't help but let a cold smile cross his lips. "Director Lin, who exactly is that young man?" Wang Hechen asked with an ashen face, already aware of the fate that awaited the Wang Family but before that, he just wanted to know which high-ranking person had ruined them. "I don't know, but someone once told me that this person is a 'national treasure!'" Lin Nantian stated expressionlessly. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire "A national treasure?" Wang Hechen pondered with his head bowed, his face a mix of anxiety and unease. The weight of those four words was suffocating. "Elder Wang, your Wang Family has been ruined by a woman this time. From now on, don't even think about placing your people in the military, and your family will no longer have the qualifications to enter our circle," Lin Nantian shook his head and sighed, feeling pity for Wang Hechen. "The fault of the son is the fault of the father. I have nothing to say!" Wang Hechen chuckled at himself. It was his failure to properly discipline his daughter that had led to the current situation. Wang Hechen deeply regretted that he had had the chance to stop all of this from happening, but he chose to continue indulging Wang Xinling, which led to events unfolding to this stage. Now a household had fallen apart! "Boss, I heard a few days ago that you beat up Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen?" After leaving the police station, Hao Jian and Yu Ou found a café to chat, and naturally, the conversation turned to the recent events. Hao Jian frowned and asked, "Has this news already spread?" "Of course, it's common knowledge now. After all, Kong Xiaozhen and Liang Jiankun are among the four young masters of Hua City. They have always been the ones to bully others, no one has ever dared to bully them before. You beat them up, and the news spread like wildfire," Yu Ou explained. "That's really troublesome," Hao Jian tapped his forehead, sounding a bit distressed. He had hoped to return to society and live a peaceful life, but now it seemed that tranquility was becoming ever more elusive. "Don't worry, those people only know that it was a young man who beat them up, but they don't know it was you. After all, you don't have any influence or power in Hua City, and not many people know you," Yu Ou clarified. "That's a relief," Hao Jian nodded, then, seeing Yu Ou in military uniform, couldn't help but curiously ask, "What, you've rejoined?" "Yeah, the old man said the family needs a pillar, so he let me return to the troop," Yu Ou said, wiping the insignia on his shoulder. However, he saw Hao Jian snort, "Cut the crap, even if the Yu Family needs a pillar, there's your dad and your uncle. When did it become your turn?" Hao Jian knew immediately that Yu Ou was bluffing; he was still so green, just a raw recruit. To rely on him to support the Wang Family's foundation at this time would be a joke. "Alright, nothing gets past you. The truth is, the old man knows you're gaining more enemies, so he hopes I can toughen up in the military and hopefully be there to assist you one day," Yu Ou said with a wry smile, admitting the truth. Hearing this, Hao Jian's heart warmed, but he still shook his head, "Go back and tell the old man not to worry about it. I want to live like an ordinary citizen, not disputing with those people or caring about power and status. There's no question of helping or not." "That's not for certain. The old man said you have the talent of an emperor, with greater ability comes greater responsibility. Even if you don't fight or compete for it, people will still come looking for trouble. He hopes I can always follow you, and once you grow stronger, our Yu Family can also rise. In modern terms, it means following the boss ensures a bite of the pie!" Yu Ou joked. "Wrong, I believe the greater the ability, the less responsibility," Hao Jian stood up and then said to Guo Shuxian, who was still drinking milk tea, "Come on, I'll take you home." He didn't want to continue this topic with Yu Ou, and he also needed to go treat Jiang Qihui. "Ah? But I haven't finished my milk tea yet?" Guo Shuxian was a little reluctant to leave, cherishing the rare afternoon tea time, and moreover, the weather was so nice. The warm sun of the afternoon made her feel so comfortable that she almost fell asleep and did not want to leave.

Why hadn't he noticed that this old woman was such a foodie before?
