“Did I make myself clear?” asked Qiao Zhan again.

Everyone was stunned.

“All of you are just agreeing on the surface. But in reality, you didn’t even take my words to heart, right?” yelled Qiao Zhan.

“Of course not, we’ll definitely remember what you said!” They quickly responded.

“Tell me then, what did you remember?” Qiao Zhan pointed at one of them.

“Regardless of who instructs us to mess with people from the Nan family, we should never act on those instructions,” replied the man fearfully.

“Why not?” Qiao Zhan probed.

The man was at a loss for words, having never thought of the reason before. What’s with all these questions?

“Because Qiao’s here…” replied the man hesitatingly with an appeasing smile.

“Does that mean that you will mess with them as long as I’m not around?” asked Qiao Zhan.

“No! Of course not!” The man became flustered.

“Why not? Say it!”

“Because we can’t afford to mess with them.” A smart guy thought of the best answer.

“Yeah, we can’t afford to.” Everyone agreed that this was probably the ideal answer.

Qiao Zhan thought that the answer was acceptable. Besides, he hadn’t thought of a better answer yet, anyway.

“Okay, then. If the police seek you out for an investigation, you must answer honestly,” instructed Qiao Zhan.

“Yes, we will.” Everyone responded.

“Tell me, what happened today?” Qiao Zhan asked them again.

Everyone was once again stunned. Glancing at each other, none of them knew how to answer.
