After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu quickly told Tan Qingqing the truth.
Tan Qingqing stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.
"Mr. Lin, you must be mistaken. Brother Pang is truly a wonderful person. Without him, my reputation would probably be ruined by now!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "You really are being sold out, and you're still counting the money for the seller!"
Knowing that Tan Qingqing wouldn't easily accept this fact, he called Long Shiyi again, asking him to have the self-media boss personally confess to Tan Qingqing.
Soon, Tan Qingqing received a call from the owner of the self-media company from back then. His voice was trembling on the phone.
"Ms. Tan! I'm so sorry! What happened back then was all Attorney Pang's idea. He said if we got ten million, he would give me five million. Please, please don't blame me! I'll transfer the five million to you in a bit, no, I'll transfer ten million to you. Please, please be merciful and let me off the hook!"
How could he not be afraid?
Unexpectedly, the matter, which had been dormant for two years, alarmed the boss's boss, the godfather of media!
I'm feeling incredibly panicked right now.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Qingqing stared blankly.
Two years!
She was deceived for two whole years!
It turns out that the person who started this public opinion storm was Pang Zhengming!
He dragged himself into the quagmire of public opinion, and then appeared as a savior to pull himself out.
During this process, she gave everything she had and even took on millions of dollars in loans!
In the end, he even treated the person who harmed him as his benefactor!
nausea!
That's absolutely disgusting!
Upon learning the truth, Tan Qingqing felt nauseous and realized she was a complete fool!
Jiang Ruoyi, equally exasperated, exclaimed, "Teacher Tan, this bastard! It was bad enough that he lied to you before, but now he's asking you for money! This kind of person is utterly shameless!"
Suddenly realizing something, Tan Qingqing quickly called her assistant and financial planner, asking them to stop the withdrawals.
Fortunately, it was stopped in time, otherwise she would have lost a lot of interest and a certain amount of principal.
After doing all this, Tan Qingqing looked at Lin Yu, her eyes red, and said, "Mr. Lin, I really don't know how to thank you! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life and would have continued to be manipulated by Pang Zhengming! I..."
Lin Yu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, Miss Tan, it's all over now. It's not too late to know the truth. Just ignore him from now on! He's cleaning toilets in the restaurant now, dealing with excrement every day. It's his retribution. Don't worry, I won't let him out easily!"
Tan Qingqing nodded repeatedly, and then the three of them went into the ward. Lin Yu prepared to give Tan Shuangshuang an injection.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Pang Zhengming was sitting with his legs crossed in Li Xianren's office.
He was about to leave, and he became more assertive.
His assistant just helped him sell the property, and 30 million yuan has been deposited into his account. As long as Tan Qingqing transfers another 20 million yuan to him, he will immediately throw the money in Li Xianren's face, pat his butt, and leave!
Li Xianren sat opposite him, his face not looking too friendly. The doctor had just examined Zhang Ailan and said her injuries weren't that serious, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to explain it to Lin Yu.
Now that Pang Zhengming is saying he'll pay 50 million in compensation right away, he can't really say anything. If the other party transfers the money and he still doesn't release the person, that would be illegal detention. He's a legitimate businessman; why would he do something illegal?
Pang Zhengming crossed his legs, blew on the foam in his teacup, and said casually, "Mr. Li, I think you're being a bit narrow-minded. It's just a piece of blue and white porcelain, isn't it? Even in Shanghai's high society, those big shots treat me with respect and don't want to offend me. After all, everyone has their share of disputes in life. I'm a top lawyer in the industry. Hiring me as your defense attorney can often save you a lot of money, while offending me could result in a significant financial loss!"
"What do you mean, kid? Are you threatening me?"
Li Xianren raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat unpleasant. He had looked into the young man's background and knew he had indeed handled many major cases.
Even the most infamous milk powder scandal was won by this guy. He certainly has a knack for distorting the truth.
To be honest, if it weren't for Lin Yu, he wouldn't want to offend this person.
Pang Zhengming shook his head. "Mr. Li, I didn't mean to threaten you. I just want to say, don't be so short-sighted! If you want to expand your business, you can't just focus on money. There are many things in this world that are more important than money, such as connections!"
"How about this!" Pang Zhengming thought for a moment and said, "Give me a discount, let me pay 20 million less, and we'll be friends. If you ever encounter any legal issues in the future, I can help you!"
"Sorry, I don't want to make connections with you!" Li Xianren decisively refused.
If it weren't for Lin Yu's connection, he might have been able to become friends with him.
But now, absolutely not!
This brat actually dared to make a move on Madam Lin; that's disrespectful to Mr. Lin.
If he becomes friends with this kid, where does that leave Mr. Lin?
Putting aside the fact that Mr. Lin's background is incredibly powerful, the fact that he helped me recover the Ming Chenghua blue and white porcelain makes him my benefactor.
To befriend the enemy of your benefactor is to repay kindness with enmity, isn't it?
Pang Zhengming frowned. "Mr. Li, I don't quite understand. You seem to be very hostile towards me. We don't seem to have any past conflicts, do we?"
Li Xianren sneered: "Indeed, there's no real grudge between us, but if you have a grudge against Mr. Lin, then you have a grudge against me! Even if you pay back the fifty million today, we'll still be enemies. If you dare to set your sights on Mrs. Lin again, hmph, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Mr. Lin? Mrs. Lin?" Pang Zhengming frowned, then suddenly realized something and tentatively asked, "You mean... Lu Xueqing's good-for-nothing son-in-law?"
"presumptuous!"
Li Xianren slammed his fist on the table. "How dare you call Mr. Lin a piece of trash! Do you even know who Mr. Lin is? If he's a dragon, you're nothing but a worm!"
Pang Zhengming was startled and then said with a disdainful look, "Are you alright? A useless son-in-law who can only sweep and dust, and he calls himself a dragon? That's hilarious. Mr. Li, you weren't fooled by him, were you? You actually offended me for a live-in son-in-law? Are you sure you're not out of your mind?"
"You bastard! How dare you say that!" Li Xianren was furious and grabbed the ashtray on the table, smashing it over the ground.
"Holy crap!"
Pang Zhengming covered his face and screamed in pain. The blow was quite severe; his nose was broken, and blood was gushing out.
He stood up angrily, pointed at Li Xianren and shouted, "Are you fucking crazy? Can't you talk things out? Why are you hitting me? Let me tell you, you've committed intentional assault. I won't sign a letter of understanding without 100,000 yuan!"
"A letter of forgiveness? Who asked you to forgive them? You son of a bitch, I'll beat you to death today! Guards!"
Li Xianren shouted, and several bodyguards rushed in. Li Xianren immediately pointed at Pang Zhengming and yelled, "Beat him! Kill him! If he can get up today, you're all fired!"
