Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: The Local Tycoon 1_1

"I'm going to leave you with nothing!" Bai Xue coldly played the part of the most venomous woman.

Su Yan laughed heartily, "You're so naive, Mrs. Su."

"Don't you know about the crime of adultery under the law? I have evidence to take to court, you'll have to leave with nothing." Bai Xue raised an eyebrow, seemingly mocking his stupidity.

"Have you forgotten the new Marriage Law? It states that a man's assets before marriage, even after the wedding, are not considered joint property. In a divorce, a woman has no right to half, let alone ending up with nothing."

Bai Xue fell silent, seemingly taken aback.

"Mr. Jones, although Mrs. Su and I don't get along, she is my grandfather's favorite granddaughter-in-law. If anything happens to her, he will be devastated. And I, being the dutiful one, ask you to show some leniency." Su Yan hadn't humbled himself to anyone in his entire life, but he had to swallow his pride to minimize the loss of his plan, just to save Bai Xue.

"She is your wife, and who is she?" Jones Finno pointed at Yang Minhan.

"She's a private detective I hired to gather evidence." Bai Xue answered, knowing that Yang Minhan had a pinhole camera on her. It was better to admit than be searched.

Her response made Jones Finno's face darken.

He motioned for his people to search Yang Minhan.

Everything happening here couldn't be exposed to outsiders. Regardless what they captured, it wasn't permissible!

Both Su Yan and Yang Minhan frowned. Why would she say such a thing? If the evidence that Yang Minhan gathered got discovered, how would they explain it? Why hadn't they captured evidence of his infidelity instead of people's auction items?

Yang Minhan, not wanting the hard-earned evidence to be seized, instinctively resisted.

"Give it to them, Miss Yang. Regardless what we captured, it's useless at this point. Life is more important than money. If one can't protect one's life, then one can't protect the evidence. Better surrender obediently." Bai Xue was telling Yang Minhan that if she couldn't keep her life, then she couldn't keep the evidence either.

"But..." Yang Minhan conveyed her hesitation with her eyes. If they saw what she captured, their lives would be in greater danger.

Bai Xue responded with a reassuring look.

Yang Minhan reluctantly handed it over, full of unease.

Knowing Bai Xue wouldn't engage in a fight she wasn't confident about, Su Yan relaxed a little.

The contents of Yang Minhan's pinhole camera were examined on the spot.

She could barely stop trembling, imagining the dreadful consequences once they saw the contents. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, sweat breaking out on her forehead.

When images she captured were displayed on the LCD screen, she was stunned!

In the pinhole camera, there were only intimate photos of Su Yan with Jones Ellie, nothing else.

But how was this possible! She had specifically aimed at the auction items. How could it turn out this way?

Why were there these pictures?

She looked at Bai Xue, who returned a smile.

Her reaction, as if she knew the outcome all along, confused Yang Minhan even more!

Bai Xue never touched her pinhole camera. There was no way she could have swapped the contents!

Moreover, there was no time!

How did she know what would happen?

Even magicians weren't that magical, right?

After seeing the photos, Jones Finno smiled, "It seems this has all been a misunderstanding."

If there was really an undercover cop among them, how could they have just taken these pictures?

Su Yan was a potential big buyer, he didn't want to make bad blood with him.
