Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Liu Qiangxi nodded and said, "That's right, that's the idea. Those witnesses should have already been dealt with by you, right? If we want to take down the Brook Family, then we can only turn to you as the participant. Your testimony would be better than any witness since you're involved and know more; it can deal a greater blow to the Brook Family."

Chen Buhui shook his head and said, "I won't testify."

Liu Qiangxi frowned slightly, "Family Head Chen, we understand that you were just a participant, not deeply involved. As long as you testify and show merit, combined with your wealth and connections, hiring a good lawyer, you won't get in too much trouble. But if you refuse to testify, and if this matter comes to light, the situation will be entirely different."

Chen Buhui shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu, you're oversimplifying things. If I testify, that will bring about an uglier death for me. Moreover, I don't believe that just through this issue you can bring down the Brook Family."

Liu Qiangxi said, "Isn't this matter serious enough? The Brook Family has done something so outrageous—over a thousand lives lost should be enough to enrage the higher-ups in the Beautiful Country. No matter how influential the Brook Family is, that won't help them now, right?"

Chen Buhui shook his head and said, "You are underestimating the Brook Family. Their status as one of the Four Great Families of Nu City isn't for nothing. Even with this issue, they won't be taken down so easily. At most, they'll just be shaken and damaged somewhat."

Liu Qiangxi's gaze flashed, "A family like the Brook Family won't be lacking enemies. With this incident, those enemies will not let go of such an opportunity."

Chen Buhui said, "There are indeed enemies, but even enemies consider their own interests. If the Brook Family is prepared to go down together, retaliating, it won't necessarily be the case that these enemies will kick someone while they're down. After all, they need to measure the risk, and if the Brook Family goes mad, the risk will be too high, and they won't make a move.

Instead, they will opt for a long-term strategy, biding their time. And from what I know, they are most likely to take this approach. You tell me, if I agree to testify and once the Brook Family gets its chance for retribution, my fate is sealed, and I'm certain to die a gruesome death.

Therefore, even if the matter is exposed, I would prefer to go to prison than to testify—in the worst case, I would only be imprisoned for a few years."

Upon hearing Chen Buhui's words, Xu Yang and his companions looked at each other and fell silent.

This was an aspect they hadn't considered.

They had originally thought that as long as Chen Buhui testified, they would be able to annihilate the Brook Family.

But it turned out to be not that simple.

It seemed they had oversimplified the matter.

After all, the Beautiful Country was not like Huaxia.

This issue would require a more long-term plan.

Xu Yang's eyes flickered, "Family Head Chen, you said the rival families of the Brook Family would weigh the risks, but what if they were offered enough benefits? Would they take action then?"

Chen Buhui responded, "I don't know about that. After all, I don't know how much in benefits you can offer them. What your 'enough benefits' are, I'm not sure."

Xu Yang asked further, "Family Head Chen, if I find those people and they agree to act, will you testify then?"

Chen Buhui still shook his head, "No."

Xu Yang asked, "Why not?"

Chen Buhui answered, "My roots are now in the Beautiful Country. If I testify, I won't be able to stay in Nu City."

Xu Yang said, "We're offering you the agency rights for two states; isn't that enough to compensate for your loss?"

Chen Buhui pondered for a moment then said, "I want agency rights for ten states."

Xu Yang and his companions exchanged glances and then laughed.

So he was bargaining for more benefits.

However, they wouldn't agree to give so much. Giving too much wasn't a good thing.

Xu Yang said, "Family Head Chen, ten states' agency rights is too much; we can't do that."

Chen Buhui responded, "Then I can't testify. Without my testimony, it will be very difficult for you to destroy the Brook Family."

He began to feel a sense of holding the initiative.

Xu Yang said, "It seems like Family Head Chen feels he has a grip on us."

Chen Buhui smiled faintly, "You all are billionaires; how could I possibly grip you? I'm merely speaking frankly and stating my demands."

In his view, since Xu Yang and his companions were so eager to destroy the Brook Family, they were bound to compromise.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Xu Yang and his companions.

Xu Yang and the others didn't even want to give the agency rights for two states but considered it due to multiple factors.

Xu Yang said, "Wang Xiaocong, since Family Head Chen is unwilling, let's have you communicate with him next."

Liu Qiangxi and Ma Hua Teng merely smirked.

They had obtained those pieces of evidence and weren't afraid that Chen Buhui would refuse to comply.

It wasn't a decision made by a group discussion that led Wang Xiaocong to communicate with Chen Buhui; it was Wang Xiaocong who had volunteered for the task.

To put it bluntly, Wang Xiaocong just wanted such an opportunity to show off.

"Family Head Chen, let me show you a video," Wang Xiaocong said.

Wang Xiaocong chuckled, took out a laptop, opened it, fiddled with it for a moment, and started a video.

The video was titled by Wang Xiaocong as "Shocking! The Romantic Tale of a Hong Sect Lawyer and Two Women."

The title was chosen by Wang Xiaocong, a typical clickbait headline, in the style of Chinese internet marketing accounts.

Wang Xiaocong placed the laptop in front of Chen Buhui and his two sons.

The video showed Hong Wen and the wife of Family Head Nolden of the Brook Family, as well as the wife of Nu City's mayor, during their joyful moments together.

Hong Wen was a young man, while the two women were in their forties.

It was a mystery what Hong Wen was thinking; such a handsome young man, yet interested in women in their forties.

Perhaps Hong Wen felt that playing around with the wives of such important figures was more of an achievement.

Upon seeing the video, the faces of Chen Buhui and his sons turned ugly.

Especially the video's main character, Hong Wen, who simply wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

If friends saw such a video, it wouldn't be a big deal, and he might even brag about it.

After all, these were the wives of one of the Brook Family, among the Four Great Families, and the wife of Nu City's mayor.

Getting involved with the wives of such bigshots was a very gratifying achievement.

But now, the video was seen by Chen Buhui.

And Xu Yang had obtained it, and was using it to threaten them.

"You scoundrel, how could you do such a thing!" Chen Buhui burst into rage and slapped Hong Wen on the face.

Hong Wen had always been outstanding, his pride and joy.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never laid a hand on Hong Wen.

But now, Hong Wen had done such a thing, truly enraging him.

Nolden and Nu City's mayor were indeed people at the very top of Nu City society.

If they found out that Hong Wen had cuckolded them, they would surely go berserk.

Hong Wen would definitely meet a terrible end.

The side of Hong Wen's face swelled visibly, yet he didn't dare make a sound.

In this matter, there was no question of right or wrong.

Doing it wasn't really the issue; the key problem was that it had been recorded on video.

Wang Xiaocong chuckled: "Family Head Chen, I wonder what reaction Nolden and Nu City's mayor would have if I sent them this video?"

Chen Buhui's face grew dark: "Are you using this to threaten me?"

Wang Xiaocong nodded: "Yes, we are threatening you."

Chen Buhui furiously said, "You're despicable!"

Wang Xiaocong smiled: "Thanks for the compliment. However, our despicability is nothing compared to what you've done."

Chen Buhui nodded repeatedly: "Fine, fine, fine. But I won't accept your threats!"

Wang Xiaocong said in disbelief: "You don't care about your son's life or death? If this video is sent to Nolden and Nu City's mayor, your son is as good as dead, and you and your eldest son might be implicated as well."
