Chapter 159 Threats, intimidation, and dirty rumors

"Well..." Shen Linglan said calmly, "You harassed me again and again. I couldn't stand it anymore and called the police, but the police said they had to know you had bad intentions before they could file a case."

Shen Zhaoshan laughed and didn't take it seriously, as if he thought Shen Linglan was joking.

He didn't know that Shen Linglan had really called the police. But after the police found out that the man was her biological father, they suggested that she contact him first, and then call the police if he had any bad intentions.

"Linglan, Dad really wants to mend our relationship. Can you give Dad a chance to make it up to you?" Shen Zhaoshan said again in that disgusting tone.

Shen Linglan crossed her legs and followed his words and asked, "Okay, how do you make up for it?"

Shen Zhaoshan didn't expect Shen Linglan to agree. After thinking for a while, he said, "Dad will treat you to a meal and we can talk about it in detail, okay?"

"I'm busy." Shen Linglan refused directly.

"Come to Dad's house, or Dad will treat you to a massage or a bath. There's a new massage parlor just opened on East Street. Dad will take you there to enjoy it. How about that?"

“…”

Shen Zhaoshan's words seemed to indicate that he had low emotional intelligence.

Although Shen Linglan is his daughter, after knowing that Shen Linglan would start her own company and dared to refute him in public, he actually did not dare to completely use his father's airs to suppress Shen Linglan.

He also did not realize that he actually did not dare to look down on Shen Linglan. After all, he needed Shen Linglan's help. As usual, he took the client to a massage and bathing service. Only after the client felt relaxed could he continue to discuss business.

But he seemed to have forgotten that Shen Linglan was his daughter, and also a woman. Moreover, Shen Linglan hated him.

Shen Linglan couldn't hide her contempt for him, but she was also increasingly confused. How on earth did he make tens of millions?

"Oh? You're going to invite a daughter you haven't seen for more than ten years to go to the bathhouse with you?"

Shen Linglan pressed the record button while asking him.

"Yes... no," Shen Zhaoshan came to his senses now, "Dad didn't mean that. Hey, Linglan, you know that Dad is not good at expressing himself. But Dad really wants to make it up to you..."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," Shen Linglan interrupted him, "next time you come to my school, my company, or show up in front of me -"

Shen Linglan opened the document in his hand and read out the information filled in, including the school and address of his wife and son.

"No. 318 North Street, Third Experimental Primary School, Grade 5, Class 7, Shen Weihao." After Shen Linglan finished reading the name, Shen Zhaoshan paused for a moment, and then she continued, "If you harass me again, I'll have plenty of ways to harass your son. Then..."

"Suzuran!"

This time, it was Shen Zhaoshan who couldn't help but interrupt.

He took a few deep breaths and said to Shen Linglan, "Linglan, you can't do this. He is your brother."

"I don't even have parents, how can I have a brother?"

Shen Linglan continued, "No. 668 Mudan Street, Building B, Xingfu Community, 13th Floor, No. 19, is that your address? You don't go home often, are you cheating outside again..."

"Shen Linglan!"

Shen Zhaoshan couldn't pretend anymore. He didn't expect Shen Linglan to investigate him. He was afraid that his wife and children would be hurt by Shen Linglan, and he was even more afraid that Shen Linglan would find out more and more, and it would be bad if some things were exposed.

He lowered his voice a little and said to Shen Linglan, "Linglan, don't be impulsive."

"I was wrong about what happened before. I understand that you don't want to forgive me or mend our relationship now."

Shen Zhaoshan no longer dared to think of controlling Shen Linglan, as Shen Linglan was playing with his soft spot. He said directly:

"Dad... I heard that you have a laboratory building under your control, and you only develop health products. This is too ridiculous... a waste, so I want to rent a room from you, oh no, rent a floor of the laboratory."

He finally stopped beating around the bush and stopped playing the emotional card. He got straight to the point and even counted on his fingers to explain to Shen Linglan the benefits of doing so.

"First, this will ease your financial pressure. Second, you can rest assured that you can rent the laboratory building to your own people. Third, maybe we can cooperate in the future. Linglan, your father's company has made a lot of money in the past few years."

After finishing the work, he added, "Dad heard that your SZ Life Sciences Department doesn't make any money, and yet you pay your employees so much every month. No matter how much money you have, you will lose it all sooner or later. If you are willing to cooperate with Dad, Dad can help you."

The last sentence sounded so earnest, as if it were some golden advice.

Shen Linglan chuckled, "Is that so? Then how much money do you plan to pay to rent my laboratory building?"

"This..." Shen Zhaoshan originally planned to offer 10,000 per month, but this price was indeed too low. His emotional appeal was useless, so he had to raise the price by half. "15,000, how about that?"

Shen Linglan really laughed this time, "Fifteen thousand is not even enough to rent a quarter of the first floor of the laboratory building. Shen Zhaoshan, are you here to beg for money?"

She flipped through the pages of the report in her hand. "Didn't you make more than 13 million last year? How come you can't even afford to rent a laboratory building? Why do you have to come to me for free?"

Every room in her laboratory building is equipped with the latest high-tech machines. Fifteen thousand is not enough to rent a floor, let alone a single machine.

Shen Zhaoshan said calmly, "You have nothing to do anyway, so what's wrong with letting your father use the laboratory? Besides, no matter how good the equipment and machines are, they will break down if they are not used frequently. Dad rents an office and also gives you the machines, so it's a win-win situation."

"You are my biological father..." Shen Linglan spoke very slowly, but Shen Zhaoshan's heart was beating faster.

"Your request is reasonable. How about this? The rent is 100,000 yuan, paid annually. How about that? It's already 30% lower than the market price."

"One hundred thousand!?" And I have to pay it annually! That means I have to pay 1.2 million in one go!

Shen Zhaoshan couldn't help it, and immediately took off all his disguises and started to curse Shen Linglan. He said that Shen Linglan disregarded the relationship between father and daughter, that Shen Linglan had no conscience, that she had no humanity after getting money, and that Shen Linglan got her money from sleeping with a certain man.

After scolding for a long time, he threatened Shen Linglan that if she didn't rent the house to him, he would go to the laboratory building to collect cow dung and write red words the next day, and would also cause trouble at Shen Linglan's school and company.

Shen Linglan had already called 110 when Shen Zhaoshan said he wanted to rent a lab, and she hadn't hung up the phone yet. Now she turned around and said to the police, "Uncle police, you heard everything. You see, he has bad intentions towards me, and now he is threatening and intimidating me. He wants to use my lab for free and fabricate rumors about me. You must help me deal with this matter."

"What...Shen Linglan, what are you talking about..."

Shen Zhaoshan scolded Shen Linglan, and a serious voice came from Shen Linglan, "Comrade Shen Zhaoshan, you are suspected of intimidating citizens. Please stay where you are and stop verbally attacking. We will take you to the police station for interrogation within an hour."

"Psycho!" Shen Zhaoshan didn't know whether he was scared or panicked. He cursed and hung up the phone in a hurry.

The police officer said to Shen Linglan very seriously, "Miss Shen, please rest assured that we will handle this matter well."

After hanging up the phone, the police officer went out on the scene.
