The yellowish face with dirt-like attire, especially that green shoulder bag resembling a relic, impossible to mistake! He then grinned cheekily and said, "Of course it’s her, who else? I’ve been to bed with her, can’t I recognize her?"
Lawrence Winters snorted coldly, walked out from the room next door, and slapped him on the face, "Really? You slept with her?! Such foul mouth! Saying things that tarnish someone’s reputation!"
The gunman was not handcuffed and hastily shielded his face with his arm, cursing angrily, "Who are you, lunatic! I don’t even know you! Why are you hitting me?!"
"I’m hitting exactly you!" Lawrence reversed her hand and delivered another slap.
Her speed was so fast, the gunman hadn’t even managed to block the other side of his face, and with a slap, her hand already landed.
Then Lawrence kicked out, landing precisely on his vital part, the man screamed terribly and fell straight down, fainting from the pain.
Lawrence withdrew her leg, clapped her hands, and sneered, "Is that all? Seems like being a gunman doesn’t require any skill."
Evan Stetford’s subordinates were stunned, each unable to resist clenching their legs.
Evan Stetford shook his head speechlessly and said, "Alright, come back with me once, meet my father."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
Why see his father?
Lawrence Winters rolled up her sleeve to the middle of her forearm, revealing a men’s Vacheron Constantin watch on her left wrist.
She glanced at the watch, hesitated and said, "It’s already noon now, isn’t it inconvenient?"
It’s lunchtime.
Evan Stetford smiled and said, "Just right to have lunch at my place."
After he finished speaking, he added casually, "Fewer people during lunch, we can talk business."
Lawrence Winters’ eyes brightened, she wished she could give Evan Stetford a thumbs up.
He’s really a wise person, he knows what she wants to do!
She gestured "It’s better to receive the invitation than to decline."
Evan Stetford was pleased, nodded, and said, "You go back to the hotel and pack, I’ll wrap things up here and come pick you up."
Lawrence Winters knew he had to resolve the gunman issue, agreed with a smile.
Evan Stetford called a security personnel to help Lawrence Winters carry her luggage and escort her back to the Half Moon Hotel.
After Lawrence Winters left, Evan Stetford’s expression darkened.
He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and signaled to bring in the Grant Branch people, saying, "... show them the video just now."
His staff projected the surveillance video onto the big screen.
When the Grant Branch people saw the gunman stubbornly recognize a random person as Lawrence Winters but ignore the real Lawrence Winters, saying he’d never met her and finally being knocked unconscious by her, they wanted to cover their faces.
Embarrassing!
Utterly embarrassing!
Evan Stetford bit the cigarette and indistinctly asked them, "Aren’t you going to explain what this is all about?"
The gunman was still unconscious on the ground, and Evan Stetford had no intention of calling a doctor.
The Grant Branch people glanced at each other, ultimately had to say awkwardly, "Well... we were deceived too, he said it was that female wizard named Winters bribing him, how could we know he was lying?!"
"Your Grant Branch is omnipotent, yet can’t discern if he’s lying?" Evan Stetford mocked, "Even if you don’t understand Celestial Path Skill, you must know logic and reasoning, right? Is your Grant Branch expanding by relying on such incompetents?"
The Grant Branch members turned pale from Evan Stetford’s reprimand.
Evan Stetford certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Trying to intimidate him, not fearing backfire.
He continued, "I’ve already informed your Grant Branch’s regional inspector, district director, and Mr. Grant himself. You must give me an explanation for the remaining matters."
"Try to fool me, then go feed the fish in the ocean with him!"
After Evan Stetford spoke, he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, raising a puff of white smoke.
Manager Hou’s eyes rolled, fainting from fright.
Before long, the Grant Branch’s regional inspector and district director arrived, and Mr. Grant came last.
Upon arrival, he said to Evan Stetford, "Master Stetford, I knew nothing about this, my apologies for startling you."
Evan Stetford smiled faintly, "I’m not startled, I just want you to hand over the mastermind behind this, otherwise your Grant Branch should seriously clean house. If even using your Grant Branch’s power for shootings in Chinatown goes unnoticed, how can your Grant Branch stand in Chinatown, Mr. Grant, don’t you agree?"
He deliberately said someone was using the Grant Branch, also giving Mr. Grant a way out.
After all, he couldn’t control the Grant Branch’s fate with this one matter, needed to wield a stick with one hand and a carrot with the other.
