Chapter 136: Chapter 0136: Angered to Death_1
For the members of the Diao Clan, since the Divine Doctor was Zhang Bin and Zhang Bin was their enemy, there was no way they could ask him to save Elder Diao. However, if Zhang Bin wasn’t going to save the man, he had to return the medical fee. That was only right and proper.
Zhang Bin stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said with a cold laugh, "Dream on!"
"You... you dare to embezzle the Diao Clan’s money?"
The members of the Diao Clan were beside themselves with fury.
"Watch your language. Don’t slander me," Zhang Bin said. "Consider this ten million as the Diao Clan’s compensation to Wenwu Pharma. You blocked the sales license for Wenwu Pharma’s Weight Loss Pills and held up the approval for the industrial park, delaying both the product’s market launch and the project’s progress. You caused Wenwu Pharma tremendous losses. Understand?"
"You..." The Diao Clan members trembled with rage. Diao Chenghua quickly took out his phone and said angrily, "I’m calling the police right now. You’re going to regret this."
Unflustered, Zhang Bin took out his Special Action Team credentials and said proudly, "Special Action Team member Zhang Bin has confiscated ten million as compensation for Wenwu Pharma’s losses. Go on, you can call the police now."
After speaking, he even wrote them a receipt and signed his name.
The Diao Clan members were instantly overcome with despair. They had no desire to call the police, as it would be utterly useless. In the past, they had done such things countless times, ruining fortunes and tearing families apart.
Now, they were finally getting a taste of their own medicine.
Doctor Tang, who had also followed them out, was naturally mortified. He now understood that Zhang Bin bore a grudge against the Diao Clan, had refused to help, and had instead taken the opportunity to kick them while they were down.
"Doctor Tang, I consider you a friend," Zhang Bin said, patting the doctor on the shoulder. "If you ever run into trouble in the future, come find me. I’ll help you sort it out."
With that, Zhang Bin walked out of the hospital with a cheerful smile. He was in an exceptionally good mood. Not only had he seen his enemies driven into a corner, but he had also extorted ten million from them. He would, of course, report the money to Zhao Dawei. Whether he would be reimbursed for it later wasn’t that important. The important thing was that he had thoroughly humiliated the Diao Clan.
"This will be the death of me..."
Though Elder Diao was already at death’s door, he still heard that Zhang Bin had extorted ten million from them. His blood pressure immediately soared, and he fainted on the spot. Doctor Tang rushed to save him, using every skill he possessed, but he could only keep Elder Diao alive for another two hours.
In the end, Elder Diao kicked the bucket.
Just before dying, he still wouldn’t let Zhang Bin off the hook. He had Diao Chenghua lean in close and haltingly revealed a venomous plan against him.
Zhang Bin, just you wait! You will face the Diao Clan’s terrifying revenge! Diao Chenghua screamed inwardly, his face a mask of resentment.
At this time, Zhang Bin hadn’t gone home yet. He drove to the market, bought some groceries as Liu Ruolan had asked, and then headed to Xinyue Residence to wait for her to get off work and cook dinner. He had worn Xiao Fang out over the past few days, and she couldn’t take any more. So, he decided not to go back tonight and instead spend a romantic evening with Liu Ruolan.
Since he knew Elder Diao was on his last breath, he had Tutu monitoring the situation. Thus, he learned the moment Elder Diao died. A flicker of joy was followed by a slight furrow of his brow. What kind of vile scheme did Elder Diao come up with?
Because Elder Diao’s voice had been too low and intermittent, Tutu couldn’t make out the details, even after hacking into Diao Chenghua’s phone. However, Zhang Bin quickly put it out of his mind. He hadn’t been afraid of the Diao Clan when they were mighty, so why would he fear them now that they were on their last breath?
When Liu Ruolan got back, Zhang Bin was in the study, looking at his phone and studying a variety of extraterrestrial materials.
She peeked in with a smile. "Xiao Bin, I’m about to start cooking. Just wait a little bit."
Zhang Bin came out, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her passionately, looking ready for an intense battle right then and there.
"If we don’t eat first, I’ll die of hunger!" Liu Ruolan exclaimed. She knew all too well how capable Zhang Bin was; once they started, it wouldn’t be over for at least three hours.
Zhang Bin reluctantly let her go, his gaze captivated by the celestial beauty before him. He grinned mischievously and said, "Honey, I ran into something really funny and delightful today..."
After listening to Zhang Bin’s story, Liu Ruolan’s eyes went wide. "That’s so satisfying!" she said, beaming with delight. "It’s just too satisfying! They actually asked you to save that old bastard—it’s perfect karma!"
"Hehe... I extorted ten million from them and angered that old bastard to death. I’ve got it on good authority. The Diao Clan is finished," Zhang Bin said triumphantly. "Honey, isn’t your husband amazing?"
"Amazing! Honey, you’re just incredible!" Liu Ruolan threw herself into Zhang Bin’s arms and rewarded him with a sweet kiss.
The two were soon locked in another fervent embrace, nearly getting carried away. After finally ending their passionate kiss, Liu Ruolan escaped from Zhang Bin’s arms and busied herself with preparing the meal. Zhang Bin eagerly went to help, acting as her assistant.
While chopping vegetables, Liu Ruolan said excitedly, "Honey, now that the Diao Clan has collapsed, we can really go big with our plans."
"Mhmm, we’ll go big tonight," Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin.
"You and your filthy mouth," Liu Ruolan said with a playful scold, her face blushing.
After flirting for a while, Liu Ruolan’s expression turned serious. "Honey, I’ve given this a lot of thought. I want to use the language-learning software you developed to create an online language school. It would teach people to quickly master any language, catering to a global market. However, it might be difficult to get started, so I plan to spend one hundred million on advertising. What do you think?"
"What? Spend one hundred million on advertising?" Zhang Bin jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on. "No, absolutely not!"
"Honey, I have confidence in the software you developed. Investing in advertising now will let us make huge profits later. Don’t be so stingy," Liu Ruolan said coquettishly.
"One hundred million is way too much. Ten thousand is more like it," Zhang Bin said.
"Ten thousand? Can you even say that with a straight face?" Liu Ruolan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"We don’t have to start this company. There’s no guarantee it will make money, and the risk is too high. We should just stick to our pharmaceutical business," Zhang Bin said.
"Didn’t you just extort ten million from the Diao Clan? Take that, add the company’s recent profits, and we’ll have about enough. We can get an ad on CCTV," Liu Ruolan said.
Zhang Bin wanted to slap himself. Why did I have to tell her about the ten million I extorted from the Diao Clan? Now she’s got her eyes on it. This is a big problem. He stammered, "Well, our pharmaceutical plant is about to go into production, so we’re too busy. Plus, I need to build a lab, so our cash flow might be tight. Can we wait a little longer? Please?"
"No," Liu Ruolan said charmingly. "You’re just making excuses because you can’t bear to part with a hundred million. You have to give to get. Don’t be so petty."
"One hundred million? I’ve worked so hard for so long and I haven’t even earned that much yet, and now it’s just going to disappear?" Tears streamed down Zhang Bin’s face, his heart aching as if pierced by a knife. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Honey, leave the advertising to me. I guarantee I’ll get you the results you want."
