Chapter 1020: Chapter 1016: Alfredo Takes Action

“Sister, did you think this place was somewhere you could come and go as you pleased?”

Madam Meng had coffee splashed all over her face, yet she showed no sign of annoyance. With a smile still on her face, she stood up, “I’ll go upstairs and change my clothes first, then we can have a good catch-up.”

“Madam Meng, it’s not up to you whether it’s time for a catch-up.” Alfredo swaggered in with several men, followed by the Meng Clan’s butler, who clearly wanted to stop them but couldn’t.

Facing Alfredo, who suddenly appeared in her home, Madam Meng was full of confusion, “You… why are you here?”

“What? Has Madam Meng so quickly forgotten what she has done? The people you arranged are still at the Elders Council’s interrogation room. They’ve all confessed. Please come with me, Madam Meng.”

As he spoke, Alfredo gestured to the men in black behind him with a flick of his finger, signaling them to take her away.

“Wait, I’ll go with you, but I need to change my clothes first, and I still have guests, whom I need to take care of.”

While speaking, Madam Meng gave Wei Shisheng a look, signaling him to quickly get Wei Manqing and Mu Chengxu out of there.

“No need for that, Madam Meng’s guests have already been arranged for pickup. Moore is outside waiting for Madam Meng’s distinguished guests. And don’t even think about running away. Miss Wei, please get a set of clothes ready for Madam Meng; there’s a special room at the interrogation where she can change.”

Alfredo left no chance for Madam Meng to stall for time, instructing the men in black to lead her away immediately. He watched as Wei Shisheng stood in place, dumbfounded.

“Miss Wei, is there no need to get clothes ready for Madam Meng? If not, then perhaps you could accompany us on a trip too.”

This time Alfredo made his move, not planning to give them any chance to react. He knew that the situation in Independent State was complicated at the moment, and if he didn’t act now, Wen Xin might truly hate him for the rest of her life.

After the incident at the hospital, Alfredo had realized the way he should protect Wen Xin.

He waited until Wei Shisheng brought down a set of clothes for Madam Meng from upstairs, and then had people take Wei Shisheng away. He stood in place, looking at the butler who appeared utterly lost.

“When will the head of the Meng family come?”

“Responding to the Chairman, the family head was dispatched by the lady and can’t return immediately. However, I have informed the family head. As soon as he returns, he will come to see you at once.”

The butler knew that Alfredo’s appearance was a harbinger of ill intent. Having managed the Meng Clan for so many years, he was familiar with the higher-ups of Independent State.

Especially Alfredo, who lived a secluded life and didn’t involve himself in many matters. But when he took action, it was always significant; and this time, it seemed Madam Meng was in serious trouble.

“It’s good that you have such awareness. Tell your family head to hurry back, or I can’t guarantee the Meng Clan’s future.”

Having said that, Alfredo stretched his long legs, preparing to leave. But before he took a step, he paused and turned towards Wei Manqing and Mu Chengxu.

He could see they were both very nervous, yet their faces displayed a deceptive calm. These two were truly members of Mu Chengxi’s family.

“Wen Xin has sent someone to pick you up. Leave with me; your ride is waiting outside.”
