Seeing Jii Haomiao’s disheveled state, Zhang Heyuan felt deeply distressed.

This was, after all, Eldest Xiang’s own grandnephew; when his face was beaten to this state, it was as if Eldest Xiang’s face had been struck as well!

Moreover, with Xiang Bingzhi’s recent complications, if Jii Haomiao were sent to the police station, it would be akin to ripping Eldest Xiang’s face off and treading upon it a second time.

Eldest Xiang would probably fall seriously ill again and find it almost impossible to face anyone after that.

He sighed softly, turning his gaze to Gu Junzhu: “Young Master Gu, after all, Xiao Miao is just a child. Could you allow me to take him home for a stern reprimand, instead of getting the police involved?”

“A child?” Gu Junzhu looked Jii Haomiao up and down and sneered: “The children of your family sure are big babies!”

With just one sentence, Zhang Heyuan’s face turned beet red, and he found himself speechless.

Gu Junzhu turned leisurely to Xueno: “Xueno, turn on the recorder, let Chief of Security Zhang hear exactly what their child has been up to.”

Xueno gave a respectful acknowledgement, stepped forward, took out the voice recorder from his pocket, and pressed play.

The recorder was given to him by Gu Chi, who told him that the domestic system valued fairness and evidence.

If confronted, and if time allowed, turn on the voice recorder for precaution.

Of course, if there was no time, it was not compulsory.

One of Xueno’s greatest strengths was his obedience.

Just as Jii Haomiao and his men cornered Ye Xingbei, before Jii Haomiao could even speak, the moment he shot a malicious grin at Ye Xingbei, Xueno turned on the recorder.

Now, as he pressed play, Jii Haomiao’s drunken voice could be heard clearly from the recorder.

“Little girl, it’s an honor for me to notice you! You should obediently come with me, serve me well tonight. Considering you’re pretty, I’ll spare your life.

Otherwise, I’ll sell you off to serve men at night; believe it or not?”

“Beat him up! Hard! If he dies, it’s on me! And that little girl! Don’t kill her! Tie her up and bring her to my bed. Let’s see if I don’t torment her to death tonight!”

“I am Jii Haomiao, the grandson of Xiang Xiongyi! I order you to arrest all these bastards! If you dare to bend the law for personal gain, I’ll have my grandfather get rid of all of you!”

Gu Junzhu took the player from Xueno’s hand, sneering, “Brother Zhang, your family’s child sure knows a lot!”

Zhang Heyuan’s face turned ashen.

In his mind, Jii Haomiao was just a teenager.

He originally thought that the kid, after having a few drinks, might have been brooding over Xiang Bingzhi’s situation and had an accidental conflict with Gu Junzhu.

But hearing the recording now, he wished he could slap Jii Haomiao a few more times himself.

Were these words that a child should be uttering?

Just because a girl was beautiful, he wanted to sleep with her.

If she didn’t agree, he threatened to arrest her and sell her to serve men at night.

Who gave him such audacity?

And who gave him the right!

Eldest Xiang had lived a life of integrity and impartiality, earning a good reputation. But all that was being ruined by these disgraceful youngsters.

Zhang Heyuan, his face pale with fury, suppressed his anger: “Young Master Gu, do me a favor, the police can take Jii Haomiao, but could you give me the recorder?”

What Jii Haomiao had said could not be made public.

Otherwise, how would outsiders view Eldest Xiang?

People might wrongly think that Jii Haomiao’s lawlessness was permitted by Eldest Xiang, and that the good reputation that Eldest Xiang had built up over his lifetime was completely ruined by his unfilial descendants!

“No! Don’t! Uncle Zhang, please save me!” Upon hearing Zhang Heyuan say that the police could take him, Jii Haomiao almost wet his pants in fear.

He still wanted to be the heir to the Xiang Family!

If he were taken back to the police station and had a record, how could he still become the heir to the Xiang Family?
