From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Fang Renjie, a seasoned businessman who has seen countless ups and downs, was momentarily speechless after being confronted by me.

But he could only patiently soothe him, saying, "Young man, I understand your anger and grievances. But listen to my advice, calling the police will not benefit either of us."

"Fortunately, Su Qing's life is not in danger, and her body has not suffered any serious damage. There is still room for redemption. But once a case is filed, there will be no turning back."

I stared intently at him. He had a strong presence, but I remained firm and wouldn't budge an inch, saying each word clearly and deliberately:

"You make it sound so easy, like it's none of your business. If this were your family's precious daughter, would you be so calm as to talk to me about whether there's any chance of reconciliation?"

Fang Renjie frowned deeply, his chest rising and falling slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, she finally relented: "Then tell me, what kind of solution do you want? As long as it's reasonable, I'll accept it."

The moment he finished speaking, Fang Heng, who had been holding back for so long, finally couldn't hold back any longer and growled through gritted teeth:

"Dad! Don't be fooled by him! This is all a trap he set on purpose! He's been plotting against me from the very beginning!"

"Shut up!"

Fang Renjie turned his head sharply and roared angrily.

Fang Heng froze, no longer daring to utter a single word, only hanging his head, staring at me with fury.

I caught a glimpse of his face out of the corner of my eye, and felt utterly indifferent.

The play has reached a point where it has reached its climax; continuing to make a scene would only backfire.

But I still didn't calm down, and with an unyielding expression, I threw the question back at him:

"Since you've asked me to come up with a solution, I'll be frank. First, ask your son how many despicable things he's done to me."

Fang Renjie suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Speak, I'm listening. Today I will definitely give you justice."

That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

I released my grip on Fang Heng's collar, slowly straightened up, and took a deep breath.

Then he recounted the grudges that had been building up in his heart for so long, one by one, in a clear and organized manner.

"At first, I worked diligently in the food delivery industry. It was your son who used his connections to get in touch with all the food delivery stations in Jiangzhou, forcing me to lose my job and cutting off my only livelihood."

"Later, I borrowed money to take over the courier station and did business honestly, but he still wouldn't let me go. He targeted me at every turn and tried every means to suppress my business, making it very difficult for me to make a living."

"And then there's my friend Brother Luo, who honestly runs a barbecue stall and lives a simple life. Just because he was close to me, he was maliciously reported by him, and now his business is failing."

"Even now, the videos I filmed by traversing no man's land at the risk of my life were taken down from the entire internet by him with a single sentence, erasing all our hard work and effort, and allowing rumors to smear and defame me across the internet."

The more I spoke, the more suppressed I became, my tone carrying just the right amount of grievance and resentment.

Finally, with a slight tremor in his voice, he said, "Boss Fang, I'm just a penniless nobody from the bottom of society. I never thought of messing with a powerful family like yours. I live an honest life, earning money steadily to make a living. I can't afford to offend you."

"But I still can't understand why your son keeps trying to kill me, why he keeps targeting me like this?"

I took a deep breath and suppressed my emotions, because these were the grievances I most wanted to express.

I looked directly at Fang Renjie, softened my tone, and continued:

"In the end, it's all because Su Qing chose me. He's jealous and narrow-minded, so he resorts to any means to suppress and destroy me. Is this the kind of person your Fang family has raised as an heir?"

Fang Renjie's face turned ashen at a visible speed, his chest heaved violently, and his whole body trembled slightly with anger, filled with unbelievable disappointment and rage.

He always thought his son was just arrogant and competitive, but he never imagined that he was so narrow-minded, ruthless and vicious behind the scenes, using his family's power to bully ordinary people.

"evil creature!"

Enraged, Fang Renjie slapped Fang Heng hard across the face again.

After several slaps, Fang Heng's cheeks were swollen and red, and the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious, leaving him in a sorry state.

But I felt no pity whatsoever.

Everything he did to me was enough to drive me to the brink of despair.

The punishment he is receiving today is nothing compared to the repression he has inflicted on me.

Fang Heng couldn't lift his head at all, hanging it down as Fang Renjie scolded and beat him, not daring to utter a word in rebuttal.

The usually arrogant and domineering young master of the Fang family was now as meek as a stray dog ​​in front of his father.

All the arrogance and swagger vanished without a trace.

Fang Renjie, panting heavily, turned to look at me again, his tone much more sincere:

"Young man, I understand everything you've said."

"It is my family's failure to properly educate our son, and my son's narrow-mindedness that has caused you great losses and grievances. I will take full responsibility for all the mistakes."

I shook my head, my tone still icy: "The material losses are secondary. The mental pressure and psychological fear he inflicted on me by repeatedly driving me to the brink of destruction cannot be compensated by a few apologies or a little compensation."

Fang Renjie remained silent for a long time, looked intently into my eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I will give you an explanation."

"I will fully compensate you for all the losses he caused you in the past, and even double the compensation. I will immediately have all the current blacklisting and suppression against you withdrawn, and clean up all the rumors and negative information smearing you."

"I will handle this matter personally and give you and Su Qing a satisfactory resolution. How about this, can we let it go?"

I lowered my eyes, my shoulders tense.

He put on an expression of being bullied for a long time and having nowhere to vent his grievances, and looked at Fang Heng kneeling on the ground with a deep gaze.

His cheeks were swollen and red, bloodstains remained at the corners of his mouth, and his back was stiffly hunched over.

But his eyes were filled with boundless hatred, yet he dared not retaliate, appearing utterly pathetic.

I was perfectly clear-headed and showed no mercy whatsoever.

Fang Renjie, a cunning old fox who has been navigating the business world for decades, has never understood the concept of a sudden pang of conscience.

His yielding and concessions were never due to a sudden realization, but rather a precise weighing of the pros and cons.

He was afraid that I would actually call the police, that the police would investigate the case thoroughly, and that the Su family would turn against me and hold me accountable after learning the truth.

What they fear even more is that this sordid scandal will completely shatter the reputation and standing the Fang family has built up over many years in Jiangzhou.

All compromises are simply to cut losses, nothing more.

I slowly raised my eyes, stared intently at Fang Renjie, and said, word by word, "Mr. Fang, let me make this clear from the start: I don't want a single penny for what happened today."

I paused deliberately for two seconds, observing his slightly startled expression, before continuing:

"I dropped out of junior high school and entered society at a young age. I worked my way up by delivering food, doing odd jobs, setting up street stalls, and running a courier station. I've struggled my way to where I am today."

"Every penny I earn is the result of my sleepless nights and tireless efforts. It's all clean and I have a clear conscience."

"Your son was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and relying on his family's wealth, he can cut off my livelihood and ruin my career at will."

I glanced at Fang Heng, whose face was full of resentment, and continued, "The grievances and oppression that have been weighing on me all these years cannot be erased by a mere sum of compensation from you."

Fang Renjie's expression turned completely serious, his brows furrowed, and he looked directly at me, asking in a deep voice:

"What do you want? As long as it's within the Fang family's power, we will not refuse."
