Chapter 445 - 445 441 Intimidation and Extortion

445: Chapter 441 Intimidation and Extortion 445: Chapter 441 Intimidation and Extortion After getting to know Wei Ziling’s parents, Ye Fan said to Wei Ziling, “Let’s first go and see how your brother is doing and understand what happened in the incident.

Don’t worry, as long as he didn’t break the other party’s limbs, there’s no need to pay 300,000, nor will he be sentenced.”

His last words were addressed to Wei Ziling’s parents.

The couple, dressed flamboyantly and looking arrogant, though disdainful, still paid attention to the conversation between Wei Ziling’s parents and Ye Fan and others.

As soon as they heard what Ye Fan had said, they immediately jumped up and pointing at Ye Fan’s nose, they yelled, “Who are you?

Do you think you’re a judge or a lawyer?

Injuring our son isn’t going to be that cheap!”

Although they could tell Ye Fan was the reinforcement Wei Ziling had brought in, they noted his ordinary clothes and although he was tall, his skin was a bit sunburned, making him look like someone who labored on construction sites.

“Who are you?” Ye Fan asked in a calm voice.

His gaze cautiously swept over the arrogant middle-aged couple.

The man appeared to be in his forties, about 1.7 meters tall, but chubby due to his lateral expansion, making him look a bit short and fat.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had small eyes, and carried a brown genuine leather briefcase over his left shoulder.

The woman was also in her forties, less than 1.6 meters tall, visibly overweight, her arms almost as thick as other people’s thighs, a waist like a barrel, wearing gold earrings, a gold necklace, and a diamond ring, her fat face obviously overly made up, greasy, hanging a garish big red leather purse.

Both of them held their chins up arrogantly, their eyes filled with disdain and scorn.

Following Ye Fan’s question, the corpulent middle-aged woman arrogantly said, “Who are we?

Hearing it might scare you!

Huahai Duanli Company, with an annual output value of tens of millions, is owned by my family.

The well-known Baiyi Group has deep strategic cooperation with our company!”

Then, the corpulent middle-aged woman turned to Wei Ziling’s parents and chastised them, “You dare seek help?

Initially, feeling pity for you, we would have settled privately for 300,000 in medical fees, but I didn’t expect you to be ungrateful and turn around and accuse us instead!

It’s you who are causing your son to rot in jail!”

“Darling, call Lawyer Liu immediately, let him take over this case; I want to make sure their son gets imprisoned for ten, twenty years or more!” The corpulent middle-aged woman turned to her husband and said.

The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, not wanting to waste words with Wei Ziling’s family, immediately opened his genuine leather briefcase and took out his cellphone.

Wei Ziling couldn’t help but shout nervously at the corpulent middle-aged woman, “Who are you trying to scare?

Your son only sustained minor injuries; it’s not even enough for detention!”

“Who says it’s just minor injuries?

My son suffered a concussion, has headaches day and night, it might even have caused a decrease in his IQ.

Your brother would deserve twenty years in prison!” the corpulent middle-aged woman retorted.

“You’re lying!” Wei Ziling exclaimed, “The medical report clearly states that it was only minor injuries!”

“This world is ruled by money, and if I say my son got a concussion, then he got a concussion!” the corpulent middle-aged woman shouted, “I have plenty of money to hire lawyers and fight lawsuits!”

Wei Ziling’s parents, already terrified, quickly pulled the still arguing Wei Ziling behind them and then bent over to plead to the corpulent middle-aged woman, stating they were willing to settle privately for 300,000.

“It’s too late!” the corpulent middle-aged woman replied with a face full of disdain and scorn, “Do you think we need that little money?

We will definitely put your son in prison for over twenty years!”

“We’re willing to pay 350,000 to settle privately, please,” Wei Ziling’s parents begged.

“Do you think we’re beggars?” the corpulent middle-aged woman scoffed.

Although the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses had taken out his phone, he didn’t really call immediately.

“400,000.” Wei Ziling’s parents implored.

“No way!” the corpulent middle-aged woman snorted.

Biting their lips in humiliation, Wei Ziling’s parents said, “500,000, we can’t raise any more even if we borrow from all our relatives and friends.”

“This is something we can consider,” the middle-aged matron said.

“However, your son must kneel down and apologize to my son!”

“Hold on!” Ye Fan shouted.

He had just called Zhao Tianya.

The Baiyi Group mentioned by the middle-aged matron happened to be the group where Zhao Tianya worked, serving as the Deputy Chairman and Deputy General Manager.

Zhao Tianya held significant authority within the Baiyi Group, second only to the Chairman.

Ye Fan took out his mobile phone, found Zhao Tianya’s number, and dialed it.

The call connected quickly.

“Knock knock, my dear nephew, missing your aunt already?” Zhao Tianya’s seductive laughter echoed from the phone.

Ye Fan’s face darkened slightly as he stated seriously, “Zhao, I need your help with something important.”

“What is it?” Zhao Tianya immediately dropped her teasing tone and asked seriously.

“Does your Baiyi Group have a partnership with a company called Huahai Duanli?” Ye Fan pressed on without waiting for her reply.

“Huahai Duanli?

Let me think, I seem to have heard that name,” Zhao Tianya’s thoughtful voice came through the phone.

“Ah, I remember now.

It’s a small upstream enterprise (supplier) for our group, with an annual output value of about ten million or so.

What’s up?”

“If the Baiyi Group were to terminate its partnership with them, would it have a significant impact on them?” Ye Fan didn’t respond to Zhao Tianya’s question but continued to inquire.

“It would be almost devastating,” Zhao Tianya replied.

“That company entirely relies on Baiyi for its survival.

Ye Fan, what happened?

Has Huahai Duanli offended you?”

“Heh, I had a little conflict with some people from that company,” Ye Fan said calmly.

“That middle-aged couple threatened me by bringing up the Huahai Duanli Company, claiming it was their family’s and even tried to extort three hundred thousand from my friend.

Zhao, please terminate your cooperation with Huahai Duanli.

I’ll cover any losses incurred.”

“How dare they bully you!” Zhao Tianya immediately exclaimed in anger.

“Alright, I’ll stop the cooperation with Huahai Duanli right away.

They are just a small supplier, and many other companies are eager to replace them.

It won’t harm the Baiyi Group at all.”

After hanging up, Ye Fan overheard that Wei Ziling’s parents were frightened into settling privately for five hundred thousand, so he immediately stepped forward to stop them.

“Kid, are you trying to meddle in matters beyond your control again?” the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses threatened.

“Annoy us and…”

“Hush, Mister Shi, please calm down.

His words do not represent us,” Wei Ziling’s parents quickly pleaded.

After addressing the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, they immediately turned to Ye Fan and said, “Mr.

Ye, please don’t interfere in our family matters, alright?”

Because Wei Ziling had asked Ye Fan to come, they felt compelled to settle privately with an additional two hundred thousand, fearing to upset the middle-aged man and his wife any further.

“Uncle, Auntie, they are extorting you,” Ye Fan said.

“Why should you be afraid of them?”

Wei Ziling also shouted, “Mom, Dad, it’s just a minor injury.

At most the medical costs would only amount to a few thousand.

How could you agree to pay them five hundred thousand?

We can always go to court.”

“You know nothing!” Wei Ziling’s mother berated her, “What if your brother really gets sentenced to jail for ten or more years, even just two or three years?

His life would be over!”

“Just send Mr.

Ye away,” Wei Ziling’s mother added.

Wei Ziling couldn’t help but cry out, “Mom—”

“Are you going to follow orders or do you want to ruin your brother’s life?” Wei Ziling’s mother shouted harshly.

Wei Ziling’s pretty face was filled with distress, nearly breaking into tears.
