"Let's have a chat?" This is undoubtedly a way to use one's influence to minimize the impact of a major issue and make it disappear altogether.
Zhang Fan stood up, wanting to see how Zhong Haiming would threaten him.
The two people came out.
Zhong Haiming lit a cigar and looked at Zhang Fan with disdain in his eyes.
"Xiao Zhang, you know who I am, right? I'm the absolute top leader of the development zone, and I'm about to be promoted to the provincial decision-making level. You could say I'm a very influential person in the south. If I were to advance further, I'd be at the level of a regional governor or a high-ranking official. With just a word, I could decide the life or death of many people."
"You're putting me in a difficult position. How about we settle this for a flat price of one million? You're giving the Zhong family face, and the Zhong family will give you face in return?"
Zhong Haiming's laughter carried a hint of threat.
"I'll sleep with your mother, then I'll give you a million dollars. How about that?"
One sentence! Zhong Haiming's expression changed instantly!
This kid isn't giving me any face?
"Crushing you is easier than crushing an ant for me."
Zhong Haiming was furious. What was his status compared to the other man's? They wouldn't even accept a million.
"I had no choice. I either had to pay compensation or lose the medicinal herbs. If I stopped making that miracle drug, those old men in Binhai would kill me. So it's not that I'm not giving you face."
Zhang Fan shrugged, indicating that he had no other options.
As Zhang Fan turned and left, Zhong Haiming's eyes flashed with malice.
We have neither medicinal herbs nor money!
But if they don't give it to him, the old man and his nephew will be detained.
It seems that compensating for the medicinal materials is the most appropriate course of action now. If this issue isn't resolved, the Zhong family has no way to break the deadlock.
The people in Binhai would be so angry they'd tear the old man to pieces!
Therefore, the Zhong family has no choice but to suffer this loss!
Once this is resolved, this kid can just wait to die!
Now let the steward go and see how to acquire those medicinal herbs.
The Zhong family has lost face this time.

Inside the upscale sanatorium, soft lighting attempted to dispel the heavy and oppressive atmosphere, but to no avail.
Liu Wanqing stood by the hospital bed, her gaze fixed on her mother's haggard face, which was almost unrecognizable from the pain of her illness.
My heart was filled with indescribable anger and resentment, an anger as fiery and dangerous as volcanic lava about to erupt.
Her thoughts drifted back to the name she hated to the core—Wu Yali.
That woman actually thought that she could live a carefree life and enjoy wealth and luxury just because she was carrying the Zhong family's child?
A cold glint flashed in Liu Wanqing's eyes. She vowed inwardly: Wu Yali, you will not get what you want. I, Liu Wanqing, will personally drag you down from this false paradise and make you pay for your actions!
Just as she was immersed in her fantasy of revenge, her mother, Liu Yan, slowly opened her eyes on the sickbed.
Those once bright but now slightly cloudy eyes looked around, revealing a deep sense of confusion and unease.
His eyes were filled with the shadows of fear and memories, as if he had returned to that unbearable past.
In that lawless area, every day was a silent battle.
Liu Yan had been bullied countless times by those arrogant foreigners who treated her as nothing and wantonly trampled on her dignity and freedom.
During those days, she lived like an ant, spending every day in despair and struggle.
Even now, in this seemingly peaceful sanatorium, those painful memories still haunt her, causing her whole body to tremble involuntarily.
This trembling stemmed from both deep-seated fear and anger at the bullying.
"I'm afraid the Wanfu Group matter is really beyond repair. Now that so much time has passed, the people in the Municipal Bureau must know something."
Liu Yan was truly helpless this time.
There was nothing we could do.
"Then what should we do?"
Liu Wanqing panicked.
If this can't be resolved, my mother will have to go to jail.
"Liu Yong is in charge of finance. They can say that he secretly used a fake company seal to transfer a lot of assets, and then used his position in finance to make fraudulent loans, putting all the blame on him."
Liu Yan had already planned her escape route.
Liu Yong?
Uncle Liu?
I don't even know where he is now.
"Uncle Liu has disappeared. Could he have run away?"
Liu Wanqing said with great concern, "If Liu Yong runs away, then my mother should run away too."
"He didn't run away, he's still inside. He's fair-skinned and delicate, and those men really like him."
Liu Yan gave Liu Wanqing a knowing look.
"But Mom, are you alright?"
Liu Wanqing was still very worried.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Of course. Aren't you curious about who your father is? And why is Wu Yali so calm? That's because she's from the Zhong family. So we're all fine. Now that we can't handle this, let Liu Yong decide the charges."
Father?
I've never heard my mother mention that my father was very powerful.
Wu Yali knew why she was so fearless, but her mother also had powerful backers.
"Alright, I need to rest and recover now."
Liu Yan remained calm. Exposing the matter wouldn't help; someone would take the blame.
The reason I dared to take money from Wanfu Group must be because I had the confidence.
Can I relax now?
Liu Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhang Fan has been acting really arrogant lately. Should we get someone to take care of him?"
Liu Wanqing was furious.
"You can't beat him. The reason he didn't inherit it is because he knows something. Let those people have it."
Liu Yan closed her eyes.
Liu Wanqing stood up and looked at her mother.
He hesitated, not yet mentioning his mother's health condition.
She's been ruined by someone, but at her age she doesn't need to think about having children anymore, so what if she's ruined?
But those people have all sorts of dirty diseases.
My mother suffers from a host of ailments, many of which are diseases that hospitals here have never seen before; many of them are only found in places like Africa.
Although the mother was rescued, her condition was not good.
Those foreigners messed around and infected my mother with a sexually transmitted disease.
Looking at her exhausted mother, Liu Wanqing ultimately said nothing.
Let her rest first.
Liu Wanqing walked out, her eyes filled with malice. All of this was caused by Wu Yali, and she truly felt safe now.
At the entrance, a rebellious young woman was already waiting.
Liu Wanqing took out a thousand yuan from her bag and handed it to her: "When you go over there, give this woman a good beating in the stomach."
Does having a member of the Zhong family guarantee safety?
Let's see if we can save it!
I said I would get revenge!
The young delinquent girl happily took the money and left. She wouldn't hesitate to throw a punch, or even stab someone, as long as the money was right.
Too many thugs on the street are willing to do this kind of thing. Liu Wanqing looked at the delinquent girl leaving with a smug look on her face. Wu Yali, that bitch, is just waiting to die!
