The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 555 - 555 525 Transaction

555: Chapter 525: Transaction 555: Chapter 525: Transaction Sun Guangyao had just arrived at the Northern City Warehouse and stormed into the room.

Upon seeing Li Hong, he threw a punch at Li Hong’s face without a word.

“Scum!

Traitor!” As Sun Guangyao’s fist connected, he finally felt a sense of relief, venting the frustrations that had built up over the past few days.

Li Hong, clutching his swollen face, was both angry and scared, not daring to make any sudden moves.

He didn’t know if acting recklessly would result in a deadly bullet being fired at him from somewhere.

“Sit…

sit down.

Let’s have a proper talk,” Li Hong said, nursing his cheek, speaking to Sun Guangyao.

“Hmph!” Sun Guangyao scoffed and sat down across from Li Hong, who glanced at the two women tied up on the floor.

“Idiot!

You think now is the time to talk to me?

It was my idea to plan the kidnapping!

It was me who went and reported Liu Hun!

What did you do?

You betrayed me!

Now you think of talking to me?

Why don’t you go find that cheap woman?!” Sun Guangyao cursed at Li Hong.

“Twenty-eight split, I’ll take just twenty percent,” Li Hong stated, as instructed by Liu Hun.

“Hmph!

At least you know your place!” Sun Guangyao hadn’t expected Li Hong to offer such a concession voluntarily, and such a significant one at that.

Sun Guangyao, looking at the two bound women, said to Li Hong, “Li Hong, I’ll find someone to take over handling these two women immediately.

We both need to distance ourselves from this affair right now.

We need the money, but we need to be alive to use it.”

After experiencing Li Hong’s betrayal, Sun Guangyao had quietly sought out some people; it was time to utilize them.

Although he wanted to pin everything on Li Hong, given Li Hong’s betrayal, he seemed too cunning to be trusted with Shi Qing’er and Qin Yan again.

“Alright, everything…

I’ll listen to you,” Li Hong said to Sun Guangyao.

“Idiot!

What are you afraid of?

Liu Hun’s life is in my hands; what are you still scared of?” Sun Guangyao said disdainfully, casually picking up the phone to find someone to handle the situation.

“Bang!” After a loud noise of the door being busted open, Sun Guangyao and Li Hong abruptly turned around to see a group of police officers rush in.

Both men collapsed onto the ground, Li Hong relieved to have survived, while Sun Guangyao felt utter despair.

Outside the police station, following the incident involving Liu Hun and firearms, the media swarmed in again, this time also because of Liu Hun.

“Liu Hun!

Can you confirm if Shi Qing’er and Qin Yan have indeed been kidnapped?”

Liu Huyi answered with a grave expression, “Yes, it’s true.”

“Liu Hun, can you tell us the current condition of the two artists from your company?

When were they kidnapped, and who exactly is the kidnapper?”

“As far as I know, Qing’er and Yani are stable.

The specific timing of their kidnapping and the real identity of the kidnapper cannot be disclosed without police permission at this time,” Liu Huyi responded to the reporters.

“Liu Hun, it’s rumored that this incident is connected to the stock dispute with Xingle Group.

What’s your take on this claim?”

“Let’s wait until the investigation is concluded,” Liu Huyi said and then entered the police station with Lin Xiaoxiang and lawyer Jin Zhu.

The three of them met Shi Qing’er and Qin Yan in the waiting room; apart from some minor injuries on their hands, there were no other issues.

“Liu Hun, Lin Xiaoxiang, the statements have been recorded; please wait here for a while,” a police officer said and then left.

With a sly smile, Qin Yan gave Liu Huyi an “ok” sign, signaling that they hadn’t slipped up during the questioning.

Thankfully, with Yani the clever one around, Shi Qing’er probably wouldn’t have managed alone.

“Lawyer Jin, what should we do next?” Liu Hun asked Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu, having received a substantial amount of money from Liu Hun and being involved in his plans, had become Liu Hun’s strategic advisor.

“Kidnapping is no small matter, even if we don’t sue, the prosecution will file charges.

If the media hadn’t blown up this incident, both of them might have had a chance, but now the media attention is overwhelming …

so, Liu Hun, don’t worry, they won’t escape legal punishment.

In court, I will strive to get them sentenced to at least ten years,” Jin Zhu told Liu Hun.

Liu Hun nodded slightly; Li Hong was now expendable, and no one cared about his fate, but Sun Guangyao had the powerful backing of Runfeng Development Bank.

As the sole son of the bank’s chairman, Sun Guangyao was surely not going to be abandoned easily.

“Knock, knock, knock!” A police officer at the door said, “Liu Hun, our chief would like to see you.”

That was fast, Liu Hun thought before asking the officer, “Can my two artists leave now?”

“The statements are complete; everyone is free to go,” the officer told Liu Hun.

Liu Hun turned to the two women and said, “Go home and get some rest.

Leave this to me.”

Shi Qing’er and Qin Yan nodded and followed Lin Xiaoxiang as they left.

Liu Hun then said to Jin Zhu, “Lawyer Jin, you must secure the evidence well.”

“Rest assured, Mr.

Liu, it’s my responsibility,” Jin Zhu replied to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun followed Jin Zhu to the door of the police chief’s office, where a policeman told him, “I’m sorry, Mr.

Liu, the chief will only see you alone.”

Liu Hun nodded to Jin Zhu and then walked into the police chief’s office.

Previously, when Mu Zhengrong was still in office, Liu Hun had been here.

Now the office had changed hands, and of course, all the decor was completely renewed; nobody would want to linger in their predecessor’s shadow.

As soon as Liu Hun entered the office, he saw a somewhat imposing middle-aged man sitting on the couch with some white hairs at his temples, but his eyes were bright and sharp.

The skin on his face was taut, seeming both worried and angry.

“Mr.

Liu, please take a seat!” the middle-aged man said as he stood up, pointing to the couch.

“Who are you?” Liu Hun sat down and asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man reached out his hand and said, “Sun Tianqing, the father of Sun Guangyao.”

Liu Hun was slightly startled, then shook hands with Sun Tianqing and said, “May I know why Mr.

Sun has asked to see me?”

A muscle in Sun Tianqing’s face twitched before he said, “Mr.

Liu, let us speak frankly.

I hope you can be lenient concerning Guangyao’s matter.”

Liu Hun rarely smiled, but now he did, as if he heard a joke, and said, “Mr.

Sun, this matter…”

“I know, my son’s fault is indeed unforgivable, but I hope you can understand my feelings.

You are also a rising business magnate, Mr.

Liu; outsiders might see you just as a manager, but I know better,” Sun Tianqing said, staring into Liu Hun’s eyes.

“Are these words of Mr.

Sun…

a reminder?

A threat?” Liu Hun asked Sun Tianqing.

“Mr.

Liu, please don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean that.

I’m just hoping you consider this matter from a businessman’s perspective,” Sun Tianqing hinted to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun pondered for a moment before saying, “Mr.

Sun, name your price!”

“I hold ten percent of the Xingle Group’s shares; with them, you would gain control of the Xingle Group,” Sun Tianqing said to Liu Hun.

This bargaining chip was quite attractive to Liu Hun, but clearly not enough.

“Mr.

Sun thinks Sun Guangyao is only worth this much?” Liu Hun asked Sun Tianqing.

Sun Tianqing took a deep breath and said, “Of course, there’s more.

Also, twenty percent of Universal Media shares.

I know you’re entering the media industry; Universal is the fourth-largest media giant nationwide, and you should know how significant these twenty percent are.”

Liu Hun did not immediately reply, taking a sip of tea before saying, “As far as I know, Universal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Runfeng Development Bank.”

Sun Tianqing’s gaze chilled, nearly guessing what Liu Hun was aiming for.

“In addition to that free twenty percent share, I also want the remaining eighty percent, to be bought at market price!” Liu Hun stared at Sun Tianqing as he spoke.

“Liu…

Mr.

Liu!” Sun Tianqing ground his teeth and said, “Don’t you think you are being too greedy?”

“Mr.

Sun, don’t you think you’re too neglectful of the interests of the group and your son’s freedom?” Liu Hun said, sitting up straight.

“Hmph!

Mr.

Liu, do you know why I’m in this office?

You don’t have an absolute winning hand,” Sun Tianqing warned Liu Hun, his backing was the chief of the police station.

“Mr.

Sun, since Chief Bai is not present here today, doesn’t that show that his support for you is limited?

He’s a smart man, knowing that I have enough evidence in my hand to ensure Sun Guangyao would be imprisoned for a decade.

You also know I have media and two kidnapped artists with a massive fan base; they are the greatest force.

Huh!” Liu Hun leaned back on the couch and continued, “Chief Bai’s absence today shows he understands better than anyone that Sun Guangyao is bound to lose, you have no room to negotiate.

As for still lending you the office, it shows…

this is your last bit of dignity, don’t lose it.”

“Liu Hun!

You!” Sun Tianqing stood up angrily, unable to control his emotions, something that hadn’t happened for a long time.

“Mr.

Sun, calm down!

Then…

let me tell you what will happen if you walk out of here after rejecting my terms.

My media will mobilize all forces to pressure the police station; tomorrow, Sun Guangyao will appear on the headlines of all major media as a kidnapper.

Then the performance and stock of Runfeng Development Bank and all its subsidiaries will be affected.

You will face immense pressure from the market and the board of directors.

Of course!

Owning the absolute control and eighty percent of the shares of Runfeng Development Bank, you can survive, but…

I wonder if you can withstand the pressure of public opinion, as well as the negative impact of the credit downgrade by the rating agencies on Runfeng Development Bank.

If!

You can accept all these, then…

we shall meet again if fate allows,” Liu Hun said to Sun Tianqing, leisurely savoring his tea.

Sun Tianqing’s face changed numerous shades, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and he finally nodded, agreeing to all of Liu Hun’s terms.

The next day, the police station held a press conference to report the details of the kidnapping case, completely clearing Sun Guangyao, and Li Hong naturally became the scapegoat.
