Chapter 631


    Everyone hastily rescued the receptionists and shut the door to the office area. The office was separated


    from the reception area with a ss wall, so everyone could currently see thendlord furiously trashing


    everything and sshing paint outside. The receptionists’ sobs kept echoing in everyone’s heads.


    The two receptionists were very upset and scared as they wept, having been sshed with paint.


    Everyone grew even more frightened as they watched what unfurled in the office. Sophia would probably


    have yet another stack of resignation letters on her desk tomorrow; who would want to work in a ce


    where their safety couldn’t be guaranteed?


    Soon, thendlord began to smash the ss wall ferociously; everyone could see every bit of


    dementedness in his face. They huddled in a group as their fear reached a fever peak, afraid that the


    landlord would smash the ss door at any moment and charge in to kill them.


    Sophia had a cold gaze as she nced at the terrifyingndlord and his bunch of goons. A cold smile


    revealed itself on her face.


    Thendlord had only been smashing away for a few minutes when a huge group of people in ck


    suddenly charged into the space. They were all dressed in ck suits and sunsses as they came


    surging in like a flood, forming line after line by the door. Dozens of nk faces stared at thendlord


    and men as they smashed their surroundings.


    Thendlord and his goons were dumbstruck by this. They had no idea where all these men in ck


    popped up from, but they could tell with a nce that they weren’t any ordinary people.


    The sudden arrival of protection made everyone’s eyes lit up. They wiped their tears and looked at these


    cold men in ck.


    Thendlord and the goons he brought certainly didn’t dare to continue their destruction with this many


    imposing people around. Thendlord forced himself to pretend to be calm and recalled the words that


    the person had said to him; if he was going to smash things up, he should go all in. In fact, he shouldn’t


    be afraid if he brought others to help. Sophia and her employees wouldn’t dare toy a finger on him. If


    they did, someone would naturally sue them on his behalf and bankrupt Stanley’spany.


    Remembering that he had a strong backer, thendlord puffed himself up and questioned the people in


    ck. “Who are you?” he yelled in a shrill voice.


    The leader of those men took a step forward and brandished the pistol by his hip. “We’re part of the


    underworld,” he said coldly.


    As this went on, thendlord looked out the window and saw many cars parked at the foot of the


    building. He hastily pulled out his phone to call the police. “Hello, police? Save me! I’m being surrounded


    by some underworld guys. They have guns! Please hurry over, and here’s the address… Pleasee


    soon!”


    After putting down the phone, thendlord was ecstatic as he pointed at Sophia before pointing at the


    group of men in ck. “Hahaha, you lot are finished! Hiring some mafia guys? You’re done for! That’s


    certain!”


    This was good news to him; even if Sophia did suffer a lot, there was no escaping the fact that she was


    guilty of hiring men from the underworld!


    Now, herpany was simply awaiting its closure.


    When everyone heard the two words ‘underworld’ and ‘done for’, they felt their vision go dark. The


    company was definitely finished this time!


    While some of her employees wept quietly, Sophia’s face was nk as she observed the situation on the


    other side of the ss wall. Everyone here had been working hard for so long, but their work had been


    stolen just as they were about to see the fruits of theirbor. To top it off, theirpany was in danger of


    closing. How could they not be upset?

    Thendlord stood there basking in his jubtion. As long as he destroyed thispany, he would be


    able to receive a sizable reward!


    The three parties were at a standstill; the employees peered out through the ss wall, while the men


    from the underworld blocked off the door. Meanwhile, thendlord and his goons stood there in a puddle


    of paint. The entire lobby was in disarray, and everything that could be broken was already smashed on


    the ground. Thendlord waited for the men in ck to run with their tails between their legs, and he


    would be able to continue shattering everything by then. To his surprise, the men remained there,


    unmoving and silent. They continued to block the door, not allowing anyone to escape.


    Thendlord was a little terrified with those dozens of eyes on him. His heart kept racing in his chest, and


    he instinctively tightened his grip on his stick. Those without bats or sticks of their own tightened their


    holds on their paint buckets so that they could be used as weapons in a pinch. Everyone shrank back


    into a corner, creating some distance between them and the men in ck.


    The police came quickly when they heard that there were mobsters around, and they soon squeezed


    their way past the horde of men to enter the premises. “Who called us just now?”


    Thendlord hurriedly said, “I’m the one who made that report, officer! Thispany hired some


    mobsters! They’re all involved with the underworld! Those guys have guns too!”


    The police took in the paint sttered on the ground before ncing at thendlord and his goons, who


    all had sticks or paint buckets in hand. They immediately frowned at this.


    “Officer!” The door to the office area finally swung open after being shut tight for a while. Sophia stepped


    out and approached the police calmly. “This man here brought some underlings to vandalize our


    company, and he has constantly terrorized our employees. Every time we made a report, he would flee. I


    had no choice but to hire a group of actors to pretend to be mobsters and try to scare them off. They’re


    not part of the mob—they’re just a bunch of TV actors. I hired them for 200 bucks a day each.”


    The leader of the ‘mob’ took out his gun and pulled the trigger. A jet of water sted out of it, hitting the


    landlord square in the face.


    Thendlord was stunned, but he soon leaped back onto his feet. “Officer, they were the ones who hit


    me! They beat me up badly too! They’re all mobsters, the lot of them!”


    Thendlord’s goons yed along.


    The police looked at the goons with their sticks and paint buckets before looking at the mess on the


    ground. They frowned again as they took in all the debris.


    Sophia maintained her outward look ofposure as she continued, “Officer, my husband is an actor.


    These are background actors that I’ve hired through his connections, and they still have to return to their


    set for filmingter; the production team can prove this. This man brought these people over and defaced


    ourpany for no reason. He even beat some of the employees up. We’ll hand over the CCTV footage


    of the lobby to youter. Please, you must punish them severely.”


    The first thing thendlord did when he entered the premises was to break the camera. He was utterly


    fearless as he insisted that he had been beaten up as well. No one would be able to say otherwise, but


    much to his surprise, the CCTV footage was immediately reyed before everyone’s eyes. In the video,


    thendlord was clearly going to town as he smashed everything and sshed paint everywhere, his


    expression twisted while he screamed absurdities.


    Meanwhile, the group of terrifying ‘mobsters’ never once lifted a finger ever since they entered. They


    simply blocked off the door and stayed there until the police arrived. The footage showed it all clearly.


    Thendlord was spluttering all sorts of excuses as the police led him away in handcuffs. The police, of


    course, still had to look into the group of ‘mobsters’, only to realize that there really was a filming team


    nearby. They had sealed off a road during night for the filming, and the show was indeed about


    mobsters. These people were actually called over from the film set. After exchanging some words with


    the production team, the police left.


    Sophia let her employees off work before she got ready to head to the police station, asking the reporter


    toe along as well. The reporter naturally wanted a huge scoop, so she followed Sophia hastily with


    her eyes lit up; she could tell at one nce that this incident would make a stir. Just the sneakily


    recorded footage of thendlord breakingpany property would be enough for her to craft an article


    that would have readers on the edge of their seats!


    Meanwhile, Stanley consoled everyone. The employees were already gathering their things in fright,


    wondering whether they shoulde in to work tomorrow in case they ended up dying for no reason.


    However, they saw Stanley patting the two terrified receptionists on the shoulder. “It’s okay, don’t cry. I’ll


    let you two have the day off tomorrow. I’ve got two three-bedroom apartments at Ring Avenue, and you


    cane take a look at them tomorrow. If you like them, I can give them to you and try to make up for all


    the fright you went through.”


    Did he just say that… he will hand over two apartments… to make up for the ordeal they just


    experienced?!
