The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities

Chapter 87: 087 Switch to a Different Way of Reasoning

Upon hearing this, Su Ran did not react with anger, but with a smile instead, nodding her head.

“Good timing, I don’t like just running my mouth either.”

“You… Su Ran, what do you want to do?”

Wu He watched Su Ran defensively.

But what responded to him was only the very light laughter of Su Ran.

“Talk sense, but let’s do it in a different way.”

...

As she spoke.

Su Ran suddenly lifted her foot and kicked him in the stomach, sending Wu He staggering back several steps.

“Bang…”

He couldn’t stay on his feet and eventually knelt on the ground on one knee.

“You…”

Clutching his stomach, he could not contain the pain as he looked up in a rage, his look turned vicious as he stared at Su Ran, but when he met her deep, dark eyes, a sudden fear washed over him.

Su Ran squatted slightly, leaning on a golf club, and reached out with her right hand to grab his collar, pulling it towards her.

“Does it hurt? The people you’ve hurt also felt pain.”

Wu He gritted his teeth, his sickly face twisted into a smile that showed neither cruelty nor remorse.

“I’ve done nothing wrong, it’s all of you… it’s all of you… Why should everyone else live carefree, happy lives, while I scurry around like a dirty rat, hiding and deceiving? Those people deserved to die, it’s their own fault for being so weak mentally, unable to withstand even the slightest hit.”

Su Ran’s eyes went cold, and she suddenly grabbed his chin, her tone icy enough to send chills down one’s spine.

“Weak, you say? Very well.”

She chuckled, flexed her wrist, and landed a punch right on the man’s face, drawing blood that trickled from the corner of his mouth.

“The hits that are coming, you should be able to take them too.”

Wu He supported himself on the ground and backed away two steps, fear, venom, and resentment in his eyes as he looked at Su Ran.

“It’s not my fault, you can’t blame me… All of this is your fault. If it weren’t for you, how could I have ended up like this? Why should I? Why should I be trampled underfoot by a woman like you? I’m more capable than you, I’ve contributed no less to the company. Why are you the CEO just because you have the Su last name?”

Watching the man before her alternate between indignant grievances and incoherent rambling, Su Ran’s expression remained cool and indifferent.

Three years ago, Qianran International was on the brink of bankruptcy, all because of the man named Wu He before her.

Wu He was once a senior leader at Qianran International, in charge of the company’s finances. But with ill intent, he embezzled public funds, grew increasingly reckless, cooked the books, and even internally reported the company for tax evasion, causing it to be investigated.

The company was plunged into a public relations crisis and nearly went bankrupt, but fortunately, the truth was later revealed.

Subsequently, Wu He was ousted from the company and sentenced to three years in prison.

During his incarceration, his wife ran off with his assets and her lover. As for what happened afterward, Su Ran no longer paid attention.

She hadn’t expected Wu He to have been released from prison so early, even lurking and biding his time.

Su Ran looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with icy detachment.

“What’s your relationship with Su Xinyan?”

At that question, Wu He was momentarily taken aback, a strange smile spreading across his pale face.

“No relationship, really. It’s just that we both find you disagreeable, that’s all. An enemy’s enemy is a friend, right? Why not lend a friend a hand? Even your own sister wants you dead. Su Ran, what face do you have to continue living?”

Friends?

That really is a peculiar choice of words!

Su Ran glanced at him indifferently.

PS: The amount of time one is sentenced for embezzling public funds depends on the amount stolen. For the sake of the plot, let’s just set it as three years here, dear readers, no need to delve too deep into it.
