Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 56, hang up and hit!

"Hahaha! This is killing me! Lin Fan, weren’t you going to show us your so-called ironclad evidence?"

When Lin Fan put down his phone without a word, Su Gang gloated and began to shout. As their eyes met, he, Su Mengqing, and the other two all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Good thing we were smart enough to pull the main circuit breaker at the entrance before prying open the clinic’s roll-up door last night! I don’t care what kind of surveillance you have, it’s all useless now!

"Lin Fan, what else do you have to say?" Su Mengqing, feeling a bit more confident, challenged him loudly. "To take a huge step back, even if that White Dragon Grass was yours, what right do you have to baselessly accuse us of stealing it!"

"Exactly! Couldn’t we have just bought it from somewhere else?" Zhang Meili’s chubby face darkened as she pointed at Lin Fan and shouted. "With so many important people here today, you, Lin Fan, must apologize to us!"

"You must apologize! Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because Miss Yuan is protecting you!" Yang Tingting tilted her sharp chin up, looking around at the assembled tycoons from Haicheng Pharmaceutical. "You are all influential figures. Surely you won’t stand by and watch Lin Fan slander us!"

"This..." Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, not daring to speak. No one was a fool. Even Mr. Wang Sr. had suffered a major loss at Lin Fan’s hands. If they were to stand up for the Su family now and things backfired, wouldn’t they just be humiliated again?

"Hmph. Didn’t you just say that the herb was a Su family heirloom?" At that moment, Mrs. Xue could no longer stand it and asked coldly.

"Are you stupid? You believe everything we say?" Zhang Meili sneered with her hands on her hips. "If I told you to go eat shit, would you do it?"

Her words were met with a roar of laughter from the hall.

"I see. Your Su family is just like certain people here—your words are about as meaningful as a fart." Mrs. Xue’s cool, beautiful face flushed crimson with rage. She clenched her fists, ready to strike.

Yuan Youwei held her back, then scanned the crowd with a mocking smile.

"Yuan Youwei, don’t spout nonsense!"

"That girl from the Yuan family! Who are you talking about? Such poor manners!"

The laughter died. Their faces burned with humiliation as they turned away, snorting in anger. Mr. Wang Sr. was especially mortified, his old face flushing alternating shades of red and pale as he gripped the armrests of his chair, seething.

"Lin Fan! Cut the crap! If you accuse us of theft, then show us the evidence! Without evidence, you owe us an apology!" Su Mengqing’s expression grew uglier. She stopped paying attention to Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue, staring daggers at Lin Fan.

"That’s right! Stop beating around the damn bush! The Su family has a reputation to uphold. What gives you the right to spread rumors about us!" Su Gang yelled, scowling.

Zhang Meili and Yang Tingting also glared at Lin Fan, their faces twisted in disgust.

"Why should I apologize?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Fan glanced at the four of them as if they were idiots. "It’s true, I can’t produce ironclad proof that you stole the herb... but by presenting stolen goods to the Wang family, weren’t you deliberately trying to tarnish Mr. Wang Sr.’s reputation?"

He turned to Mr. Wang Sr., shaking his head calmly. "Besides, I want to find out who stole my White Dragon Grass. What’s wrong with that?"

At his words, the faces of Su Mengqing and the other three changed.

That bastard Lin Fan! He’s deliberately dragging the Wang family into this! Presenting stolen goods as a gift... that’s an accusation we can’t wash away!

BANG!

"Guards! String the four of them up and beat them!" Mr. Wang Sr.’s old face twitched as he suddenly bellowed in fury. He was powerless against Lin Fan, so he had no choice but to vent his rage on the Su family.

"No, no, no! Mr. Wang Sr., please let me explain! We... we really didn’t know it was stolen property!" Su Mengqing’s face went white as she frantically tried to explain.

Su Gang and the other two panicked, scrambling backward as their legs went weak with fear. However, no matter how much the four of them argued, Mr. Wang Sr. refused to listen. At his command, several Wang family bodyguards strode forward, a long rope in their hands. In no time, they had bound the wrists of Su Mengqing and the others and hung them high from the beams.

CRACK!

A water-soaked leather whip lashed viciously across Su Mengqing’s back, leaving behind a shocking, bloody welt. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead as she bit her lip, enduring the pain. She could only glare at Lin Fan with immense resentment.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

"Ah! Lin Fan! Lin Fan, how dare you drag us into this!" Su Gang shrieked in agony.

"Lin Fan, hurry up and beg Mr. Wang Sr. for mercy! Your herb was stolen, what does that have to do with us... Ah! AH!" Yang Tingting cried and screamed.

"Lin Fan, you ungrateful wolf! The Su family raised you for four years, and this is how you repay us? It serves you right that your mother got sick and died!" Zhang Meili cursed, her chubby face a mask of savage fury as she trembled.

"Mr. Wang Sr., this is going too far. I don’t think the Su family really knew."

"Lin Fan, you call yourself a man, letting three women get beaten like this? Hmph, what kind of man are you!"

Several female pharmaceutical magnates couldn’t watch any longer. They stood up and glared angrily at Lin Fan.

"If you feel so bad for Su Mengqing and the others, you’re welcome to take their punishment for them," Lin Fan stated, completely unmoved.

"You! You! You truly are a heartless bastard!" The women’s faces twisted with anger. They weren’t foolish enough to actually take the punishment, so they grit their teeth and sat back down.

"Miss, we have a lead on the clinic theft." Just then, Mrs. Xue pulled out her phone and glanced at the screen before casting a chilling look at the four suspended figures.

She played a surveillance video. Under the cover of darkness, an infrared camera captured Su Gang, leaning on a single crutch, hobbling out of an alley. He was clutching a long, narrow rosewood box.

"This is from the surveillance camera of an unmanned adult novelty shop in the alley outside the clinic." Yuan Youwei’s eyes lit up. She took the phone and walked over to Su Mengqing and the others.

"When you stole the herb, you must have pulled the clinic’s circuit breaker, thinking it would disable the cameras, right?" she asked with a smirk, shaking her head. "Calling you stupid would be a compliment. Did you really not know that all the properties in that district are managed by our Yuan family’s Yuandao Properties? For me, getting surveillance footage from the area is as simple as saying the word."

"You wanted ironclad evidence? Then open your damn eyes and take a good look!"

BOOM!

Her cold voice crashed over Su Mengqing and the others like a series of thunderclaps.

Staring at the frozen image on the phone screen, Su Mengqing’s eyes widened, and all the color drained from her face. Zhang Meili and the other two trembled, utterly panicked.

"Su Gang! You told me you bought this herb! Why did you go behind our backs and steal it!" Su Mengqing suddenly twisted her head to glare furiously at Su Gang.
