Her coquettish and adorable deanor didn’t seem out of place to Chen Feng.
"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you."
Although Chen Feng enjoyed her large bosom rubbing against his arm, he couldn’t quite handle her sudden feigned innocence, feeling a bit overwheld.
"Then hurry up and tell ." Yu Xiaohui looked at him expectantly.
Chen Feng reluctantly said, "How should I put this, didn’t I get divorced last year? At that ti, I lost my job as well, only had one or two thousand yuan left, and was feeling utterly hopeless. I even considered suicide, and almost went through with it.
But fortunately, I had a sudden awakening. I still have parents to take care of, and I haven’t repaid them for bringing up. I can’t just die like this.
Hey, isn’t it strange? From that mont on, I suddenly had an epiphany, beca indifferent to life and death, and wasn’t really afraid of dying anymore."
He wasn’t exactly lying with these words; he just didn’t ntion that it was his cancer diagnosis that led to his sudden epiphany.
"Is that really all there is to it?" Yu Xiaohui was sowhat skeptical.
"What do you think?" Chen Feng asked in return.
"I still feel like you’re hiding sothing from ." Won’s intuition is incredibly perceptive.
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Actually, I’ve always been brave. At ten or so years old, I dared to stay ho alone and sleep alone at night. Never yielded to violence."
"Alright, if you won’t say, then forget it."
Yu Xiaohui shook her head and said, "Most people in front of a gun-wielding criminal wouldn’t have the courage to fight back. Those who do often end up in tragedy, and successful counterattacks are extrely rare. Yet you did it, which just shows you’re not an ordinary person."
"Thanks for the praise." Chen Feng smiled at her, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder, leaned close, and whispered, "You know very well that I’m not an ordinary person. When we get back to the hotel, I’ll let you experience it properly."
Yu Xiaohui cast him a charming glance, smiling with a hint of affection.
Evidently, she was also suddenly a bit moved.
The two tacitly quickened their pace, heading swiftly toward the hotel.
...
Though Jia Yuanwu wasn’t planning to go all out to help Bian Xiangrong out of trouble, he quickly fulfilled the promise he made.
With his extensive connections, he contacted the mother of that noble Young Master Huang through a friend’s relative. The reason he didn’t reach out to his father was, of course, because the mother was stronger and ultimately in charge.
Unfortunately, Young Master Huang’s mother soon directly rejected Bian Xiangrong’s conveyed apology.
This clearly ant her frustration had been transferred onto Bian Xiangrong.
Regarding this, Jia Yuanwu couldn’t do much but wish Bian Xiangrong all the best.
After about an hour, he finally called Bian Xiangrong.
"Boss Bian, I spent a great deal of effort to finally get your ssage across."
Jia Yuanwu said, sowhat seeking credit.
Bian Xiangrong hurriedly asked, "What did the other party say? Were they willing to accept my apology?"
"Sigh, I’ve already tried my best to have the ssenger put in a good word for you, but the other party is too distressed about their son. After all, he got a rib broken from a kick. How could they easily forgive you? So, you’d better find another way quickly."
Bian Xiangrong inwardly cursed, knowing full well that the sooner the better, but the problem was whether it could happen quickly.
Previously, he had already reached out to the influential patrons backing him, but evidently, they were also intimidated and advised him to solve it himself by spending more money swiftly.
"Alright, thank you for the reminder. However, I’m at a loss here to find any channels to navigate this. If you have any connections or avenues, please introduce them to ; I definitely won’t treat you poorly. Once this is over, I’ll heavily thank you."
Bian Xiangrong still wanted to try hard, but unfortunately, Jia Yuanwu refused.
"Brother, it’s not that I’m deliberately not helping this ti, but I’m truly unable..."
"Alright, I understand, let’s leave it at that for now." Bian Xiangrong’s face was gloomy, but he managed to keep his tone calm.
"Okay, keep looking for a way. I believe you’ll find it."
Bian Xiangrong was too lazy to waste words with him and directly hung up the phone. He then took out a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and took several heavy drags to gradually calm his mind.
Filtering through everything in his mind, thinking of the ones he knew and didn’t know, he finally ca up with two, which should barely be able to compete against soone from the Huang Family.
It’s just that if either of these two could be won over, his wallet would suffer.
The only consolation for him was if it could be settled this ti, his future prospects would be broader. With the mindset of a desperate act, he imdiately contacted an interdiary to help reach out to these two big players.
Furthermore, this ti he was straightforward, offering the interdiary a hundred thousand yuan as an introduction fee upfront.
Of the two big players, one completely ignored him, expressing disinterest in people like him.
The other big player did express willingness to help diate, but on the condition of transferring a million yuan into an anonymous foreign account first.
Bian Xiangrong cursed.
He certainly had the million, but he hesitated to give it away just like that.
Thus, he told the interdiary that he was willing to pay a deposit of 100,000 before the deal was secured, with the remainder afterward.
But the big player directly rejected this.
Leaving Bian Xiangrong in quite the dilemma until almost midnight when he finally compromised, agreeing to pay the million upfront.
Then the Big Player suddenly turned around and asked for two million.
Bian Xiangrong was so enraged he almost spat blood, but there was nothing he could do.
He definitely wouldn’t pay the two million; he wasn’t a fool.
So, Bian Xiangrong decided to leave it for now, planning to reconsider the negotiation tomorrow. After all, it wouldn’t make a difference for one night.
However, when he drove to the company the next morning, he suddenly found his company’s door had been sealed.
At the sa ti, several police officers were waiting at the entrance.
"You’re Bian Xiangrong, right? We’re from the criminal investigation team... We’re now arresting and questioning you according to the law. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"Ah, what’s this all about? We’re a legitimate company, paying taxes legally. Why are you sealing my shop?" Bian Xiangrong was livid.
"Please cooperate with our investigation."
The leading officer wore a face of seriousness and authority.
In the face of overwhelming circumstances, Bian Xiangrong didn’t dare to cause a scene, only sighed inwardly and said, "Wait, I want to make a call to notify my lawyer."
The police were relatively humane, allowing him to make the call to summon his lawyer.
Though he managed the rescue call, in the end, Bian Xiangrong was still handcuffed and escorted onto the police car by a group of officers.
Regretting all the way, Bian Xiangrong thought if he had known today would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have saved on that two million last night.
