The young man seemed oblivious to the change in Wang Chao and Shen Bing's expressions as he continued speaking arrogantly, "The people from your Shen family have committed such heinous crimes. Some of us have even been left disabled, and now you want to seal our mouths with a measly one million?"
"President Shen, isn't this price too cheap?"
"Everyone, do you agree with me?"
He looked towards the others as he spoke.
The remaining people exchanged glances, and some of them, out of fear, remained silent and dared not speak up.
A portion of them had their injuries stabilized with the help of Wang Chao and Shen Bing, and they felt grateful, not agreeing with the young man's words.
However, at this moment, a dozen or so people stood up and joined the young man in clamoring:
"That's right, President Shen. Without five million, this matter won't be resolved!"
"These five million are just hush money. You must compensate us as well. Several of us have been injured—there are damages for mental suffering, loss of work, medical expenses, and various other costs. You must compensate for all of it!"
"And our relatives and friends have also been threatened. You must foot the bill for that too!"
"That's right, you must pay for your mistakes. The Shen family has billions in assets. It should be no problem to compensate us with this small amount of money!"
Those people looked smug, demanding various compensations that became increasingly unreasonable.
The young man who initially spoke out sneered, standing up and looking at Shen Bing. "President Shen, you see, this is the voice of the masses."
"What is your name?" Shen Bing asked.
"I'm Zhao Xiaosheng!" the young man proudly replied.
"Do you have any other demands?" Shen Bing asked.
"Can I make more demands?"
Zhao Xiaosheng's eyes brightened, immediately becoming excited. "President Shen, you are truly beautiful and kind-hearted. Wait a moment, let me think."
He stroked his chin, his eyes filled with excitement, murmuring to himself, "Such a great opportunity must not be missed. I must come up with a reason to make a hefty profit."
He thought for thirty seconds, and then his eyes lit up with joy. "President Shen, your Shen family demolished my house. Shouldn't you compensate me with a new one?"
Behind him, the dozen or so people chimed in, "Yes, yes, Shen Yizong also demolished our homes. We also deserve compensation!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWang Chao's expression turned cold upon hearing this.
This group of people was not only taking advantage of the situation but also being opportunistic.
Their true nature was evident from their faces—they were not good people, and being locked up was what they deserved.
With this realization, Wang Chao took a step forward, ready to take action.
At that moment, Shen Bing held him back, shaking her head and saying, "This is a mess caused by our Shen family. Let me handle it."
"Can you handle it?" Wang Chao asked.
"No problem," Shen Bing nodded.
"Good, then you handle it," Wang Chao agreed, stepping aside.
Shen Bing remained calm and looked at Zhao Xiaosheng and the others. She said, "Your demands are not unreasonable. I can agree to them. So, please register your names first."
Pausing for a moment, she turned to Yu Fenmei, who was holding a handbag. "Miss Yu, do you have paper and a pen?"
"Yes," Yu Fenmei immediately took out paper and a pen from her backpack.
"Help me record their names, identification information, and phone numbers. I will verify each one and provide the corresponding compensation later," Shen Bing said.
Yu Fenmei dared not disobey and walked over with the paper and pen to register Zhao Xiaosheng and the others.
Zhao Xiaosheng and the others were delighted and eagerly signed their names, ID information, and more in the notebook.
Yu Fenmei respectfully handed the notebook to Shen Bing.
Shen Bing glanced at it, then took out her phone and took photos, sending them to Zhang Long. In a deep voice, she said, "Uncle Long, investigate the backgrounds of these people for me."
"Within fifteen minutes, I want all their information."
Originally, Zhao Xiaosheng and the others were quite smug, their faces filled with anticipation. However, when they heard Shen Bing's words, their expressions drastically changed.
"Investigate us? President Shen, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Xiaosheng glared at Shen Bing angrily.
"I will compensate the victims, but that doesn't mean you can make unreasonable demands," Shen Bing coldly glanced at him.
Zhao Xiaosheng was clearly a cunning individual!
Shen Bing had already promised compensation and even kneeled before the victims. Many people had already agreed, but Zhao Xiaosheng wanted to increase the price and extort more money from her.
Shen Bing wasn't a fool. How could she agree to such unreasonable demands?
"So, you're saying you don't want to give us money, right? Fine, we'll expose this matter right now!" Zhao Xiaosheng angrily declared.
With that, he turned around, about to walk outside.
Shen Bing didn't stop him but said coldly, "I advise you to understand the situation. Shen Yizong can treat you like dogs, subject you to arbitrary abuse, and even try to sell you overseas. He's the main culprit."
"If you have grievances, if you're angry, you should go after him, not me!"
"I received the information and came here to rescue all of you. I am your benefactor, yet you're making outrageous demands and setting such conditions."
"I can even control Shen Yizong. Do you really think I can't handle someone like you?"
Her voice was not loud, but it was firm and forceful, exuding strength.
Buzz~
As she spoke, she stared at Zhao Xiaosheng's figure, emanating a powerful aura.
Zhao Xiaosheng was suppressed by this aura, and upon hearing Shen Bing's words, he turned pale and dropped to the ground in fear, his face drenched in sweat.
At that moment, he was truly frightened.
Zhao Xiaosheng had initially perceived Shen Bing as an easy target after witnessing her kneel down, instinctively thinking that she was vulnerable and wanted to take advantage of her.
Now, he realized that Shen Bing was not someone to be trifled with.
Her words just now were particularly assertive, filled with threats and killing intent, leaving him trembling in fear.
Indeed, they all came from the Shen family. Even if Shen Yizong was wicked, he was still under Shen Bing's jurisdiction.
How could someone who could control Shen Yizong and the entire Danfeng Group be an easily bullied weak woman?
She was a queen!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShen Bing no longer looked at Zhao Xiaosheng but instead turned her gaze to the dozen or so people around him and said coldly, "If you desire to report, you can do so now."
"I respect your opinion and will not hinder you."
"Go ahead."
Those people looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear, standing still and not daring to move.
At that moment, they all understood one thing—Shen Bing was not someone to be messed with.
They owed money, were captured by Shen Yizong's people, and locked up in cages, unable to resist.
On the other hand, Shen Bing was the wealthiest person in Canton and Shen Yizong's direct superior.
Given Shen Bing's abilities, it was estimated that she could crush them with a flick of her finger.
If they really opposed Shen Bing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"President Shen, we, we were wrong, we're sorry."
"President Shen, we were just joking with you. Please do not take it seriously."
After understanding the situation, those people quickly put on a forced smile and apologized to Shen Bing.
Even Zhao Xiaosheng had to bow his head and admit his mistake.
They all realized that even if they exposed the matter and caused losses to the Shen family, so what?
Offending the Shen family would only result in their own demise once the Shen family retaliated with full force.
Rather than dying in a futile struggle, it was better to cling to survival.
Shen Bing glanced at them coldly and said, "I have your identification information. You have lost your compensation money. After investigating the whole matter thoroughly, I'll come after you for it!"
"If you still have any dissatisfaction, you can come to Shen family's Danfeng Group and find me. I'll accompany you to the end."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaosheng and the others' expressions turned extremely ugly, filled with regret.
Shen Bing had used a strategy of being courteous first and then firm!
If they had known this earlier, they would not have dared to make such unreasonable demands.
Now, not only did they fail to gain any advantage, but they also lost compensation money, suffering significant losses!
However, after realizing the critical nature of the situation, even if they're burning with rage, they dared not speak up anymore and swallowed their pride.
In case Shen Bing really flew into a rage, a single phone call would mean their deaths!
Shen Bing no longer paid attention to them and looked at the others, saying, "Do any of you have any other opinions?"
