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

Chapter 738: Chapter 737: Revealing Identity

Seeing Bright in such a state, Harriman was at a loss for words.

Chief Bright was just too pragmatic.

He had just been on his side.

But the moment Richard arrived and said he was friends with Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, Bright immediately switched sides.

Such behavior truly took the art of changing colors with the wind, of being servile and shameless, to the utmost extreme.

However, he knew this was how Bright was, and he even understood why Bright did so.

...

But knowing and understanding didn’t stop him from feeling extremely annoyed.

What could his annoyance do, though?

In front of Richard, he was nothing but a tiny ant.

In the face of a giant, an ant had no say.

After Bright ordered his team to lower their guns, he turned to Richard with a respectful attitude and said, “Mr. Richard, my team pointing their guns at your two Huaxia friends was a complete misunderstanding. Had they clarified their identity earlier, saying they were your friends, this misunderstanding between them and my team wouldn’t have occurred.”

“Is that so?” Richard said. “Then please explain to me what kind of misunderstanding this was.”

Richard’s face was still smiling, but he exuded a formidable aura.

This aura was so oppressive that Bright was struggling to breathe.

Under such pressure, Bright didn’t hesitate to throw Harriman under the bus.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t really a betrayal.

After all, it was due to his partiality towards Harriman that he had his team point guns at Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.

He was now simply telling the truth.

Thinking this, Bright said, “Mr. Richard, here’s the thing: Mr. Harriman claimed your two Huaxia friends were rude, arrogant, impudent, and domineering. He said they confronted him and his security personnel and even intended to shoot him. Seeing that he’s a celebrity and an idol to many young people, and this happening in front of a public audience, he couldn’t possibly be lying to me, so I believed him. Now, it seems the situation might not be as it was described, and Mr. Harriman might have concealed the true facts from me.”

Richard chuckled and said, “My two Huaxia friends have always been very low-key and are extremely polite in their interactions. They are some of the most well-mannered young people from Huaxia that I’ve ever met. I really can’t believe that Mr. Harriman would describe my friends as rude, arrogant, impudent, and domineering. I don’t think these words could ever apply to them.”

Bright nodded repeatedly, “Mr. Richard, you are absolutely right. Your two Huaxia friends are very polite. They are true gentlemen, people of high moral standing. It’s impossible for them to do what Harriman described. Rude, arrogant, impudent, and domineering are qualities that simply don’t apply to them.”

One could say that Bright’s desire to survive was incredibly strong.

As long as Richard didn’t blame him, he was willing to say anything.

Richard laughed and said, “You are correct. It seems you understand my friends quite well. Given their status, it’s not likely they would bother with a trivial figure like Harriman. If there was a conflict between them, it must be Harriman’s fault.”

Bright nodded vigorously again, “Yes, your friends aren’t wrong. Harriman is the one at fault.”

Richard then said, “Chief, I suppose you are very curious about their identity?”

Bright was momentarily stunned, then nodded, “Mr. Richard, I am very curious. It would be an honor if I could know their identity.”

He was genuinely intrigued.

What kind of people from Huaxia could make Richard so eager to befriend?

Before Richard’s arrival, he had thought Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were simply rich second-generation kids from Huaxia.

Of course, he didn’t think so now.

Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong couldn’t be mere rich second-generation kids.

No rich second-generation could make Richard so keen on making friends.

Richard introduced, “Mr. Wang here is the son of Huaxia’s wealthiest man. His father’s fortune is even greater than mine. Mr. Xu is a billionaire from Huaxia; although his wealth isn’t as much as mine, he has great potential. He is poised to become Huaxia’s richest man in the coming years, perhaps even the world’s!”

The son of Huaxia’s wealthiest man?

Wealthier than Richard himself?

A billionaire from Huaxia with a net worth of a hundred billion?

And he’s going to be the richest person in the world.

Bright’s eyes widened in surprise, his mouth gaped wide enough to fit an egg.

He had not anticipated that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were such big shots.

Even if he was a redneck, even if his cognition was stuck in the seventies or eighties.

He knew well the significance behind the titles: the son of Huaxia’s richest man, Huaxia’s billionaire, the future richest person in the world.

Richard continued, “They have another identity, that of the owners of YTXC Company. As everyone knows, YTXC was acquired by four individuals from Huaxia. These two are amongst them. The popularity of YTXC’s AI companions and how profitable the company will be, their status and position speak for themselves.”

Richard’s statement shocked everyone.

“My God, they actually are two of the owners of YTXC Company!”

“I saw on Business Weekly that YTXC is now valued at over a hundred billion dollars. YTXC makes at least tens of billions in profit every year, and it’s expected to keep growing, poised to become the most profitable company in the world.”

“No wonder Richard is friends with them, not to mention their status in Huaxia, just being the owners of YTXC is enough to be worthy of Richard’s friendship.”

“I also wanted to buy an AI companion, but now you can’t even get one.”

“Harriman actually provoked such a significant figure, he’s really looking for death.”

“Harriman often acts so arrogantly, now that he’s hit a snag it serves him right.”

“Such powerful figures could easily crush Harriman if they wished.”

People marveled at Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong’s identities and excitedly discussed amongst themselves.

Harriman looked at Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong in disbelief.

He really hadn’t expected that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were two of the owners of YTXC.

He knew how popular the company’s AI companions were.

He wanted to buy one himself, but unfortunately, there were too many buyers and he couldn’t get one.

Such individuals were truly not ones he could afford to offend.

With such an identity, just a word from Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong could incite countless people in the Beautiful Country to take action against him, to grind his bones to dust.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but shudder.

He wished he could slap himself twice.

He should have just attended the event properly, why did he have to mess with Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong?

At the beginning, if he’d just let the security apologize, none of this would have happened.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Catherine looked at Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong with eyes that shone brightly, wishing she could pounce on them.

Such young people were exactly what she wanted.

Especially Xu Yang, looking so sunny and young, so wealthy, and so full of potential.

If something could happen between her and Xu Yang, that would be wonderful.

Compared to Xu Yang, Harriman was nothing at all.

She even fantasized about rolling in the clouds with Xu Yang in her mind.

She had forgotten what the situation was now.

She forgot she had said she would discipline Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, forgot the impending consequences she faced.

If Harriman knew what she was thinking, he would likely be driven mad with jealousy.
