Chapter 696

Liam was stunned. He never thought that the security guards would run away.

Of course, he didn’t know that those security guards were all Tiger’s men.

Normally, those men wanted nothing more than to beat him up themselves. Now that they saw him being
beaten up, who would want to help him?

Liam didn’t manage to get anyone over, but he made Pete mad.

Pete gave him another beating. He only stopped when he had beaten Liam to a pulp and his face was
swollen, and Liam had knelt down on the ground begging for mercy.

“You better behave yourself! If not, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”

After he said that, Pete drove off angrily.

Liam lay on the ground for a while before standing up with difficulty.

Enduring the pain, Liam walked into the construction site and looked for Tiger. “Master Tiger, what’s with
those security guards you hired? Don’t they know how to do their jobs? I was getting beaten up at the
entrance of the construction site just now, and they didn’t even bother to help me! What kind of security
guards are they?”

Tiger put both his legs on the table and said slowly, “Those security guards are my men. Are you trying to
say that I’m not doing things right?”



Liam almost jumped out of his skin.

He would usually act arrogantly in front of Matthew, but he didn’t dare to act this way in front of Tiger.



Matthew had to respect James and Helen, but Tiger didn’t.

Besides, he knew Tiger’s reputation well. Provoking Tiger would be no different than suicide!

“I-I didn’t mean that. I-I was just saying… You continue with your work, Master Tiger. I’ll head out first.”

Liam scraped and bowed, then left the room. When he got out of the room, the expression on his face
turned cold.

He gritted his teeth and growled to himself, “Matthew, this isn’t over!”

He could only aim his ire at Matthew.

But after some thought, he called the police to file a report.

No matter what, he should first have Pete caught before anything else.

Soon, the police arrived, and Liam told them about what happened earlier.

The police chief ordered some of his men to apprehend Pete while he questioned Liam. “Are there any
witnesses to this incident?”

Liam quickly nodded. “Yes, yes. A few security guards on our construction site saw everything. Also, our
construction site has CCTV cameras. There are cameras over there too. That’s solid proof!”

The police chief nodded. “Alright, there shouldn’t be any problems if there are witnesses and surveillance
footage. Please get the security guards to come over here. We need to ask them a few questions too.”

Liam hurriedly told the few security guards to come over.

The police chief then asked, “Did anyone see him being beaten up by a man called Pete Rivers just
now?”



The security guards looked at each other and replied at the same time. “Officer, we saw him being
beaten up, but we don’t know the name of the guy who beat him up!”

Liam instantly spoke up. “That person is Pete Rivers. You guys don’t know him, but I do!”

The police chief nodded. “How did Pete Rivers beat up this gentleman just now?” he asked. “What was
the situation that you guys saw?”

One of the security guards replied immediately, “This is what happened. At that time, we were patrolling
at the back and saw someone suspicious. It seemed like he was stealing something from the
construction site so we chased after him, but we didn’t succeed. We turned around and ran to the back,
and saw Mr. Hayes getting beaten up by that man. We quickly ran toward them, but that person ran
away. We couldn’t catch up to him.”

The police chief frowned. The situation was different from what Liam had told him.

Liam was dumbfounded and hurriedly said, “Wh-What are you guys talking about? I was blocked by Pete
and beaten up at the entrance. What thief are you talking about? I wasn’t at the back. You guys… Are
you guys crazy?”

The security guard said sincerely, “I’m telling the truth. We really saw him being beaten up at the back.”

“Officer, all of us can testify to this!”
