Zi Yi laughed as she looked at Li Mei who could only glare at her but was unable to move. She then reminded her out of kindness. “Eldest Aunt, you better not move at all. This isn’t a drama and I have indeed sealed your acupuncture point. If you were to move in the slightest or try to speak, perhaps the needle will s.h.i.+ft and you’ll really be meeting your maker.”
“Zi Yi, you…” Zi Lian was so furious, to the extent that she wanted to fight it out with Zi Yi.
Lu Jingye who was standing next to her gave her a cold look. “Shut your mouth!”
Zi Lian instantly turned pale from fright and shrunk her neck.
Only then did Zi Yi continue to speak. “Right now, I can finally finish my sentence. Whoever dares to roll on the ground and scream will end up in the same plight as Eldest Aunt.
Zi Xuan is Eldest Uncle and Li Peirong’s daughter. I’ve already submitted the evidence to the court and I believe you’ll soon receive news of it.”
Speaking of this, Zi Yi looked at Li Mei whose eyes were about to pop out from how she was glaring at Zi Yi, and she was evidently unable to accept the fact that Zi Xuan was her husband’s daughter. Zi Yi then continued to speak. “Eldest Aunt, my family has helped you raise your child for seventeen years, and shouldn’t you be paying us for the labor?”
Li Mei rolled her eyes out of anger. If she could move right now, she would definitely drag Zi Yi back to chop her into pieces.
“As for my Father’s a.s.sets…” Zi Yi looked at them and sneered. “I am the first in succession and if you had taken a nicer approach before this, perhaps I would have given you some out of kindness. But right now…”
Zi Yi deliberately paused and took out her phone to dial a number.
When the other party answered her call, she opened her mouth to speak. “Is this the Social Donation Group? I wish to donate all my family’s a.s.sets.”
Evidently, the other party was very excited, as they asked a few questions consecutively. Zi Yi had answered them all, one by one.
In the end, Zi Yi said, “As soon as possible.”
She hung up the phone after that and turned to look at the Zi Family, who were looking at her in disbelief. She raised the corner of her lips and said, “Donating all these a.s.sets can be considered as acc.u.mulating good fortune for my Father.”
“Zi Yi, how dare you?!” Zhang Guizhi screamed out loud. “Third Brother’s a.s.sets belong to the Zi Family and what rights do you have to make the decision and donate it all out!”
After she said that, she rushed over to Zi Yi, seemingly wanting to hit her.
Zi Yi looked at her and casually said, “Second Aunt, do you want to have a taste of how Eldest Aunt is feeling right now from being unable to move a single finger?”
Zhang Guizhi’s hand came to a sudden stop halfway. She was furious and anxious at the same time, but she had no means to deal with Zi Yi. She decided that she had to return at once to inform the men in the family.
Thinking of this, she said to her daughter, “Let’s go back first.”
She then said to Zi Lian, “Little Lian, quick, support your mother to stand up.”
When Zi Lian supported her, Li Mei thought of what Zi Yi had said earlier and fainted out of fright.
“AHH!” Zi Lian screamed in fright and fell on the ground. “My Mom’s dead, AHHHHH-”
“Shut up.”
Zi Yi walked over and plucked out the needle in Li Mei’s body.
“She’s not dead yet. But if you were to remain here any longer, I won’t be able to guarantee that she’ll still be alive.”
A few of them helped to lift up Li Mei and took their leave.
Soon, the sounds of cars driving away from outside the gates could be heard.
Only then did Zi Yi look at those helpers who pretended to be mute.
Zi Yi walked towards them, while Lu Jingye was following right beside her.
While she approached them, she asked, “You guys schemed with my Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt to chase me out of the villa, right?”
The helpers’ expressions stiffened.
In particular, under Zi Yi and Lu Jingye’s stare, a few of them started sweating.
Just then, a weak voice sounded. “Miss Zi, I was forced by them.”
As soon as the person spoke up, a few other helpers immediately agreed and said, “We were also forced too.”
“Forced?” Zi Yi sneered. “We are no longer in an ancient society and could it be that they dared to use your lives to threaten you? It’s clearly for the sake of money and yet you dared to make yourself out to be the victim? Do you think I’m a fool?”
Zi Yi was too straightforward and there was no leeway for them to refute.
They knew that there was no way for them to stay.
Just then one of the helpers said, “At most I’ll quit!”
As soon as she said that, she planned to walk away with the intention of packing up her belongings.
As soon as she walked away, a few other people followed suit and said, “We’re quitting too.”
All of them left to pack up their belongings.
Zi Yi looked at them and a smirk curved up on her lips. “Thinking of leaving? Have you obtained my permission?”
Her words caused the helpers to be surprised.
“Miss Zi, don’t go too far. We’re already forgoing this month’s salary and if you dare to do anything to us, with so many people here, we shall all head to the Bureau of Manpower to sue you.”
“Sue me?” Zi Yi looked at them.
All the helpers revealed expressions that seemed to say: If you won’t let us go, we’ll sue you.
“Then go ahead and sue me. It just so happens that quite a number of expensive items in my house seemed to have disappeared. At that time, we can get them to check who were the ones who took it.”
The group of helpers refuted in a loud voice. “Miss Zi, you’re speaking nonsense. We didn’t take anything.”
“You’re deliberately trying to smear our reputation. We will expose your actions on the internet.”
…
While everyone was trying to get a word in, the sounds of sirens could be heard from outside the villa.
The helpers thought that they had not taken anything and so, all of them calmed down.
“The police’s arrival is timely. We’d like to see if Miss Zi dares to stop us from leaving today.”
Zi Yi could not be bothered wasting her breath with these people and she turned around to look at Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye gave her a nod, meaning that he had gotten people to call the police.
Just then, the police cars parked outside the villa.
Lu Jingye turned around and went to welcome them.
Soon, an officer wearing a uniform walked over.
The officer’s surname was Huang.
Officer Huang said with a serious expression, “The owner of this villa called the police and claimed that the helpers have stolen expensive items. This is a search warrant and so everyone, please cooperate.”
The group of helpers never expected the officer to say that as soon as he came in and all of them widened their eyes in shock.
One of the helpers said in a loud voice, “I didn’t steal anything.”
“Neither have we!”
“It’s Miss Zi who is trying to frame us.”
“As to whether you’ve stolen anything or not, we’ll know after checking.” Officer Huang was a fair and just individual and after he said what was needed, he raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to enter and search.
Zi Yi told them where the helpers resided.
The police officers immediately entered their place of residence to do a search.
The group of helpers could only remain silent about their resentment and stand there while cursing Zi Yi.
Just then, one of the helpers asked, “Officer Huang, if nothing comes out from the search, should Miss Zi pay us for reputational damage?”
“That’s right. Our salary for the month should also be settled.”
Officer Huang glanced at them but did not answer them immediately.
Not long after, the police officers who went in to search came out one after another and all of them had some items in their hands.
“Reporting to Officer Huang, we’ve managed to find these items.”
With a single glance, it was obvious that these items were extremely worthwhile. As the Zi Family helpers, even if they are indeed in possession of such items, they would not have brought such worthwhile items to their employer’s residence.
Zi Yi glanced at those items and while the helpers were staring with disbelief, she said affirmatively, “All these items are from my house.”
