So many newspapers came over with their cameras and started snapping pictures of Granny Luo.
And the pesticide in her hand, snapped in with a click.
A reporter asked Granny Luo, "I heard that you came here today specifically to drink pesticide in an attempt to extort money from people. How much money are you trying to extort?"
Grandma Luo was caught off guard by so many cameras and was momentarily flustered.
She argued, "I clearly can't survive, and I want an explanation, not to extort money from you."
The reporter asked sharply, "If it weren't for the money, why would you have tried to extort money after drinking the pesticide?"
"If you really aren't doing this for the money, then we really admire you."
Granny Luo was speechless. "You."
She was obviously after the money.
But we shouldn't bring it up in front of so many people, otherwise how can we morally blackmail the Sheng family in the future?
But now that everyone knows about it, it seems difficult to salvage the situation.
The Luo family members also looked troubled. "Mom, what should we do? The reporters are here, and the police are here too. Will we still be able to get the money?"
This was the first time that Granny Luo had been put in such an awkward position, and she was on the verge of a heart attack.
She made up her mind. "Never mind, if I go to the hospital later, remember to ask Sheng Yueqing for extra medical expenses."
“If they want Sheng Jingheng to sever ties with our family, you should ask for a one million yuan buyout fee.”
We absolutely have to get this money.
Otherwise, the Luo family would be finished.
At this point, the Luo family's sons had no choice but to unite.
"Okay, you can drink it."
A reporter overheard their conversation and immediately exclaimed, "So they really are trying to extort money from the Sheng family, asking for a million!"
All the cameras immediately came up and started snapping pictures of the Luo family descendants.
The bright, crackling light made the Luo family cover their eyes.
Luo Laosan said fiercely, "No more filming!"
These reporters weren't afraid of him at all; they were all much taller than Luo Laosan, and the more he tried to stop them from taking pictures, the more they would.
Enraged, Luo Laosan swung his fist, hitting a reporter in the stomach. The reporter immediately cried out, "Murder! Luo Laosan has murdered someone!"
"He killed someone after failing to extort money from them."
Because they were suspected of assault, the police also came to stop them.
Luo Laosan struggled, "I didn't hit him."
The others pointed at the camera, saying, "We all took pictures, so don't try to back out."
Luo Laosan was afraid of being caught, so he ran away when everyone was in a panic.
The police went to chase them.
The Luo family sensed something was wrong and, fearing they would lose money, immediately fled.
Reporters all went after them.
Everyone ran away, leaving Granny Luo and the onlookers staring at each other in bewilderment.
Onlookers mocked, "Didn't you say you were going to drink pesticide? Then go ahead and drink it."
"We won't find you a doctor after you finish drinking it, since going to the hospital costs money."
"Exactly. Who can find you a doctor? Going to the hospital costs a fortune. If you want to die, go find one yourself."
People aren't just sitting around giving money to people like that.
Grandma Luo held the bottle of pesticide to her lips, unsure whether to drink it or not.
Sheng Yueqing watched from upstairs the whole time and never showed her face.
Little Xile leaned over and giggled, "Grandma Luo, you're not going to be too scared to drink it, are you?"
"After all, your sons have all run away. If they really die, no one will collect your body, hahaha."
Although it was a childish voice, it sounded very harsh to Granny Luo.
She glared fiercely at Xile upstairs, threw down the pesticide bottle, and stormed off.
Everyone burst into laughter, watching the spectacle unfold.
Reporters followed them, curious to see what would happen next.
Growing up with the reporters' annoyance, Granny Luo went to see the editor-in-chief of the Zheng Family Newspaper.
The editor-in-chief of Zhengjia Newspaper did not expect things to take such a turn.
Now that Granny Luo's reputation is ruined, he dares not report on her.
To avoid being implicated, they made excuses to avoid meeting.
When Granny Luo realized that the editor-in-chief wouldn't see her, she decided to take the plunge and lay down on the floor of the Zheng family's newspaper office, demanding to see the editor-in-chief.
Other reporters, eager to see the spectacle, asked, "Seriously, Editor-in-Chief Zheng? How come Granny Luo is clinging to you now? Did you promise her something?"
Editor-in-Chief Zheng died unjustly.
"I didn't."
He had previously thought that news about Granny Luo's family could make money.
Now that I feel it's too hot to handle, I've packed my bags and gone on a business trip.
Anyway, she no longer cares about the Luo family's affairs.
Other reporters chased after them, hoping to get some news out of them.
Over the years, the editor-in-chief of the Zheng family has relied on the Zheng family's backing to broadcast news indiscriminately, harming many innocent people.
This especially dragged down other newspapers, who were also criticized.
Now that Editor-in-Chief Zheng is helping Granny Luo, they naturally want to write about it properly.
His crimes must be described so that everyone can criticize them.
Editor-in-Chief Zheng never expected things to turn out this way.
Now everyone knows he's helping Granny Luo spread rumors, and they all curse him as an unscrupulous editor. He doesn't even dare go back to the newspaper office now, and can only seek help from Madam Zheng.
Madam Zheng coldly replied, "This was indeed a matter you didn't consider carefully. Now, karma is catching up with you, and you should pay the price for your irrational behavior."
Then, in the name of the Zheng family, he was fired.
They publicly declared that Zhengjia Newspaper would not hire an editor with ulterior motives.
When the people learned of this, they praised Madam Zheng for her righteousness.
Sheng Yueqing sneered after hearing this.
Before the incident, Madam Zheng did not hold this position.
Firing their own editor-in-chief now is just a matter of finding him/her a burden.
Having a boss like this is a misfortune for employees.
Other newspapers, however, felt a sense of satisfaction.
They had been suppressed by Editor-in-Chief Zheng in the past, so it was naturally very satisfying to be able to vent their anger now.
Everyone is now eager to know what will happen to Granny Luo's family.
The reporters were also following up.
It is said that Granny Luo and her family originally planned to steal from Sheng Yueqing Restaurant.
