When Du Zhaohui received the translated version from Ah Hua in these circumstances… his expression twisted as he listened:

“A lawsuit to determine who designed it?”

“Yes, young master, should we get involved-“

“Hahaha, these two old folks are truly amusing!”

Du Zhaohui wasn’t angry but laughing instead. Ah Hua couldn’t understand but tried to gauge the young master’s thoughts: “It is ridiculous and shameful. That Mrs. Wilson’s words were biased. She’ll try to influence the judge the same way in court, which would be very disadvantageous for Miss Xia…”

The young master’s decision to bug the foreign old man was correct. When Tina wasn’t present, the Wilsons might discuss this matter further, and it would be good to know their true thoughts through surveillance, maybe even help Miss Xia – poor Ah Hua, despite his multiple roles, still suffered from his lack of education. He didn’t know that surveillance recordings could only be used for anonymous reporting in China; in America, they weren’t admissible evidence in court.

Du Zhaohui’s smile turned cold:

“I’m laughing at their stupidity! They think they’re still wealthy Americans, but they went bankrupt because of their brother, and they don’t know how to keep a low profile in China, instead choosing to provoke Xia Xiaolan. Have someone deliver the tape to her, nothing else needs to be said.”

What next?

Ah Hua waited for further instructions, but Du Zhaohui fell silent.

Honestly, although it was Tang Yuanyue who lost his father, Ah Hua felt his own young master had been significantly affected.

Better not to make presumptuous decisions for the young master. The young master said to deliver the tape, so just deliver it.

Ah Hua had someone put the tape in a paper bag and deliver it to Xia Xiaolan’s company.

“…!”

Xia Xiaolan wasn’t touched; she was completely dumbfounded.

So rules were indeed made for honest people to follow. Someone like Du Zhaohui, who dared to think and act boldly, was unpredictable to ordinary people.

Who would normally think of monitoring the Wilsons?

He was truly a “talent.”

“Thank your young master for me—”

This expression of gratitude carried mixed emotions.

In the future, when she stays at hotels, she will have the rooms thoroughly checked first. The security measures at five-star hotels were only this good.

“But these tapes can’t be submitted to court; they won’t accept surveillance evidence. They also can’t be exposed. If the Wilsons found out, they could sue the hotel for invasion of privacy, which would severely impact South Sea Hotel’s reputation. What guest would dare stay at the South Sea Hotel afterward? If the hotel shareholders knew, they’d want to chop your young master into firewood!”

Even through the phone line, Ah Hua broke into a cold sweat.

He didn’t know about other shareholders, but one of South Sea Hotel’s shareholders was Chairman Tang!

If this blew up, the goodwill the young master had built up running errands for Chairman Tang’s family might be destroyed.

“Miss Xia, thank you for the warning, truly thank you. I almost got the young master into terrible trouble!”

Ah!

He thought having to learn English was bad enough, but there was so much more he didn’t understand.

He didn’t even know to advise against it when the young master did such things.

“No need for thanks; I should be thanking you instead. I’ll take this tape; it’s still very useful to me. As for the surveillance equipment in the Wilsons’ room, have it removed as soon as possible? The Wilsons must not find out about this.”

Ah Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Xia accepting the tape meant accepting the young master’s favor, so the young master’s actions weren’t entirely fruitless.

Ah Hua immediately agreed to remove the surveillance equipment. He couldn’t persuade the young master initially, but the young master would always listen to Miss Xia.

Countless past incidents had proven that whatever Miss Xia said was always beneficial for the young master.

Ah Hua was loyally devoted to Du Zhaohui, and Xia Xiaolan’s words and actions were making Du Zhaohui better… so Ah Hua had no reason not to respect Xia Xiaolan.

When the employer improves, the bodyguard’s life gets better too!

Ah Hua also told Xia Xiaolan about the situation in Hong Kong.

Tang Jinyun’s death had been reported in the newspapers.

However, the intensity of the Tang family’s inheritance dispute was beyond Xia Xiaolan’s expectations.

When she heard about Tang Yuanyue and He Zhitong “rekindling their relationship,” Xia Xiaolan didn’t say anything. This was a business marriage with specific objectives. The He family had bet on Tang Yuanyue at a critical moment, supporting him. Tang Yuanyue also needed the He family’s help to quickly stabilize both external and internal issues, confirming his position as the new head of the Tang family.

First, suppress those outsiders with ill intentions, then slowly handle internal matters.

Once Tang Yuanyue secured the position of Yuhua Group’s chairman, the situation would be settled.

A lawsuit over inheritance?

How could the Second Young Master Tang, who only received 10% of the inheritance, compete with Tang Yuanyue?

The Second Young Master had lost his judgment as if possessed.

Among the four Tang family members inheriting the estate, Tang Yuanyue had a 60% share. For Tang Kaijie to win, shouldn’t he at least try to win over Mrs. Tang and the Third Young Master?

Instead, he was acting alone, truly as if he’d taken the wrong medicine.

“Tang Yuanyue will soon be in power, and the more Du Zhaohui contributes now, the greater Tang Yuanyue’s future reciprocation will be.”

Friendship certainly existed.

Who would refuse when friends helping each other could bring mutual benefits?

As heirs to wealthy families, Tang Yuanyue and Du Zhaohui were probably used to this kind of “friendship.”

Xia Xiaolan shook her head and went to the hotel to let Grandmother Yu listen to the tape.

“So Tina is going to ‘intern’ with Harrod – that’s why she’s been staying in China and taking a break from school for so long? Though I’m a bit surprised she’s willing to testify for me in court.”

Grandmother Yu snorted:

“She’s already quite foolish; if you add being bad to that, she’d truly be beyond saving.”

Xia Xiaolan quickly consoled the old lady: “While intelligence is certainly important, this bit of sincere heart is more precious. I think there’s still hope for her if we separate her from the Wilsons. With your guidance, Tina could change significantly.”

Grandmother Yu’s expression remained displeased:

“Listen to this – her initial words were somewhat sensible, knowing to testify for you in court, not completely wasting the effort you spent finding the siblings, showing she has some conscience! But after a few sweet words from that American old witch, her stance immediately wavered… It seems the ‘rules’ I’ve been teaching her these days weren’t enough!”

Xia Xiaolan dared not speak up for Tina any more.

Yes, Mrs. Wilson was very skilled. She hadn’t cursed at Tina, and her words seemed more like an impartial rational analysis without emotional bias. It would have been difficult for Tina not to have her judgment affected.

Mrs. Wilson hadn’t spent those years as a wealthy socialite for nothing. She was a master of verbal artistry. Tina, a 19-year-old young girl, was so simple that Mrs. Wilson could see right through her thoughts.

However, what did the Wilsons want by sending Tina to Harrod’s side?

A honey trap?

Was Harrod that perverted? Tina was practically still a child who hadn’t lost her innocence!
