Chapter 355: Chapter 355: A Downtrodden Phoenix is Not as Good as a Chicken_1

"Mr. Ning, we were ignorant and failed to recognize your greatness before. We have realized our mistake and guarantee that there won’t be the slightest offence against you in the future!"

The person on the other end of the phone was extremely respectful, almost to the point of groveling.

There was no choice, as no one could endure assassins popping out even when going to the restroom.

You could evade once, twice, thrice, but not five times, eight times, ten times!

Ning Fan gave a cold laugh, "This is a warning to you. If you dare to provoke me again, it will be an all-out bounty without end."

After saying that, Ning Fan hung up the phone and opened the dark web.

The call just now was from the last of the shareholders of the international biology giants. Prior to this, Ning Fan had already taken no less than thirty calls, with dozens of people managing to find his hotel.

Without exception, they all came to plead for mercy.

Ning Fan warned them all once and then cancelled the bounty.

"Money is indeed a powerful weapon. With a few clicks of the mouse, I can make countless people work for me."

Ning Fan looked at the constantly updating bounties on the dark web, opened the backend funds, and shook his head slightly.

As effective as a powerful weapon is, it sure burns through cash quickly.

Including the commission for the dark web, in such a short time, nearly a hundred billion in funds had almost been spent.

"Forget it, scattered gold can always be regained, especially since it was originally come by without effort."

Ning Fan once again visited Su Qingcheng’s room, hoping to try treating her again.

Alas, just like before, it was still a failure.

Ning Fan sighed; his resolve to accelerate his cultivation was even stronger now, preparing to return to Chu City the next day.

Before leaving, he found Lin Xiaoling and Yu Lu.

"With the assets we’ve obtained from the Shen Family, about a hundred billion is left. I’m planning to establish a Tianling Biology branch in Shen City to manage these assets while also developing our own business," Ning Fan said to the two, "So, I need someone to stay behind and manage it."

"I won’t stay!" Lin Xiaoling unhesitatingly said, "I want to spend more time with mom at home!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Yu Lu and said cheerfully, "Let Sister Yu Lu do it. Yu Lu has a talent for this! She’s been doing incredibly well recently!"

Yu Lu, pushed into a corner, waved her hands repeatedly, "Ning Fan, this is about merging a hundred billion in assets! How could I possibly handle it alone?"

She had been just a real estate consultant before her lucky encounter with Ning Fan, joining Tianling Biology. Although she had worked with Lin Xiaoling for a few days, she lacked the confidence for such a role.

Ning Fan frowned slightly; Yu Lu’s abilities indeed needed further growth, but where could he find someone to help her?

After a moment of contemplation, a name surfaced in his mind...

...

Outside the Shen Family Old Mansion.

All the members of the Shen Family were gathered outside the old mansion.

Because the old Master Shen had warned that no one from the Shen Family was allowed inside.

Even though the Shen Family was now a mere shadow of its former self, no one dared contravene the old Master Shen’s command.

Helplessly, they had to sleep outside the old mansion, not even equipped with blankets.

Passersby who saw them pointed and scoffed relentlessly.

"Look, that’s the Shen Family."

"They got what they deserved; it’s their own doing."

"Ha, this is how the fallen phoenix is inferior to a chicken."

Facing the ridicule of passersby, the Shen Family members could not retort and only covered their faces and turned away.

In a corner, Shen Qifa lay on the ground, his face weak and despondent.

The consecutive blows, coupled with the hardships of these days, had severely weakened his vitality, and he was at death’s door.

But it seemed that out of shame, he refused to go to the hospital no matter what.

As for Shen Bingying, she had completely changed.

Her once dark and lustrous hair had turned as white as snow.

The massive turn of events had transformed this former goddess of Shen City into a woman with white hair overnight!

When a few members of the Shen Family saw her approach, they immediately berated angrily:

"Shen Bingying, this is all your fault!"

"If it weren’t for you, we’d still be living in luxurious villas, savoring the good life! Would we have fallen to such a state?"

"We’re worse off than beggars now! It’s all because of you! Why don’t you just die!!!"

Despite the family members’ reproaches, Shen Bingying remained silent, silently picking up a few drink bottles by her feet and putting them into the bag she carried in her right hand.

The livelihood money Ning Fan had given the Shen Family, her share, had long been taken by the Shen Family members.

Now, Shen Bingying had to resort to picking up trash to survive.

However, the hatred the Shen Family members felt for her did not diminish, and they would berate her loudly whenever they saw her.

Shen Bingying kept silent, wandering the streets, picking up trash to sell for living expenses.

Passersby, seeing Shen Bingying’s head full of white hair, also kept far away from her.

As she walked, Shen Bingying suddenly saw two more bottles ahead and swiftly walked forward to get them, but she did not notice the banana peel beneath her feet and stepped right on it.

Thud!

Caught off guard, Shen Bingying fell face first to the ground.

As she lay there, her mind inexplicably conjured up her former life of opulence and pampering.

The once glorious goddess of Shen City had fallen to scavenging trash to survive!

The pain in her body merged with the ache in her heart... and erupted!

"Wuu wuu wuu... I was wrong..."

"Wuu wuu wuu... I truly realize my mistake!"

"Wuu wuu wuu... Wah!"

Overcome by sorrow, she covered her face with her hands and lay sobbing on the ground.

"Shen Bingying... do you... want to go back to your former life?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded above her head.
