"Ms. Wang, our client, Gustav Pharmaceuticals, apprehended a corporate spy last month. That individual has confessed to being instructed by your Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals.
Moreover, he had been embedded within Gustav Pharmaceuticals for years, and the formulas for several of your flagship products were stolen from our Gustav Pharmaceutical Group's laboratories!
We possess irrefutable evidence of this matter, which is why the US police issued an arrest warrant and notified Maple Leaf Country to apprehend him!
I advise you to recognize the situation. Your current displays of temper and refusal to acknowledge this will do Mr. Wang Jing Tian no good!"
"Then what are you doing here? Are you here to humiliate me?" Wang Bing Xia said indignantly.
"We are here to resolve the issue. If possible, both parties can reach a settlement, and we can withdraw the lawsuit.
You must understand that the crimes Mr. Wang is accused of involve a vast sum of money. Under our US law, he could face 20 or even 30 years in prison. You should know that prisons in the United States are not very friendly, especially towards foreign ethnic groups. The number of people who suffer abuse or even death in prison each year is quite significant..."
Matthias Gustav spoke these words with great pride, showing no shame, as if this were a normal occurrence in the eyes of Americans.
However, both Ling Tian and Wang Bing Xia understood that this was blatant blackmail!
The implication was that if their conditions were not met, Wang Qing Tian might suffer, and his life might not even be safe.
"You... you are shameless!"
Wang Bing Xia stood up again, pointing at Matthias with her finger, her entire body trembling.
Just then, Ling Tian stood up and pulled Wang Bing Xia's arm.
"Chairwoman Wang, please remain calm. Let me handle this!"
Ling Tian forced Wang Bing Xia to sit down and then turned to face Matthias.
"Mr. Matthias, I am the legal counsel for Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals and an assistant to Ms. Wang Bing Xia. I will be fully responsible for this matter."
Matthias Gustav shrugged helplessly, then spread his hands in a dismissive manner.
"Mr. Matthias, whether our Chairwoman Wang has violated the law is not for you to say. The police will determine that, and ultimately, a judge will make the ruling.
I believe you did not travel such a long distance without a purpose. Let's be direct and discuss your demands!
Tell us, what conditions do you require to let our Chairwoman Wang go?"
Matthias sized up Ling Tian. Ling Tian had altered his appearance through cosmetic surgery, so he was not recognizable. Matthias looked at the young man before him and realized that this young man was exceptionally calm and composed, indicating he was not an easy opponent.
"Very well, young man, you are very professional, and I admire your candor. Since you've asked, I can answer you directly.
Our demands are, firstly, you must hand over the complete formulas and production processes for all your products and cooperate with the US police investigation!
Secondly, you must cease your infringing activities and recall all products you have released to the market in the past three years!
Thirdly, due to your infringing activities, you must compensate the Matthias Pharmaceutical Group for their enormous losses with 100 billion US dollars!
If you can meet these three conditions, our Gustav Pharmaceutical Group can consider dropping the lawsuit and exempting your Chairwoman Wang Qing Tian from imprisonment!"
Ling Tian frowned upon hearing this.
"Mr. Matthias, I'm afraid we cannot agree to the three points you've mentioned, especially the 100 billion US dollars. That figure is unreasonable..."
"Heh, that's not important. It can be discussed and compromised. It's fine if you can't produce so much cash. We have another option: you can use 80% of your equity to replace the 100 million US dollars.
Of course, if you choose this option, we can consider allowing you to continue producing Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals' previous products!"
Ling Tian exchanged a look with Wang Bing Xia and transmitted their thoughts secretly: "Very good, Bing Xia, don't worry. Their true intentions have been revealed. As long as we understand what they are after, things will be easier."
Ling Tian turned to Matthias, his face filled with disdain, and said, "Mr. Matthias, your blackmail is useless to us!
We at Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals have done nothing illegal, and our Chairwoman will not plead guilty. As for the conditions you've proposed, we cannot agree to them.
You should go back. We will also use all means tomorrow to bring back our Chairwoman!
Furthermore, we will also file a lawsuit against your Gustav Pharmaceuticals!"
Upon hearing Ling Tian's words, Matthias Gustav's face showed surprise. He seemed to have heard a huge joke.
"Are you joking with me? You intend to sue me in the United States?
Haha, are you crazy!
Ms. Wang Bing Xia, your so-called legal counsel is probably eager to send your father to hell sooner rather than later, haha, he's truly professional!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Bing Xia suddenly stood up and walked directly towards the exit.
"He is right. We at Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals will not accept any blackmail in this matter, and we will fight to the end!
Get out now, disappear from my sight!"
"Very good, very good, woman, you will pay for your actions!"
Matthias Gustav was trembling with anger at Ling Tian's actions. After leaving the Beijing headquarters of Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals, he immediately contacted his family.
Boris personally told Matthias to return to the country, and that once Wang Qing Tian was extradited to the United States, Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals would have no choice but to comply with whatever conditions they put forward!
After the Gustav group left, Ling Tian immediately convened everyone.
"See, Bing Xia, what did I tell you? These guys, their real target is Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals, as well as our pharmacy and production processes!
Now that their true intentions are revealed, it's time to settle the score with them!
We will proceed as originally planned. I will personally go to the United States to deal with this Gustav family. Everything in Maple Leaf Country will be handled by Aurora!"
At this moment, Zhang Cai Feng, who was standing nearby, said worriedly, "Ling Tian, I have a feeling this matter isn't that simple. Those Americans won't compromise easily..."
"Heh, I understand what you're saying. Whether those Americans compromise or not is not important. Even if we lose this lawsuit and they don't release my father-in-law, I am confident I can bring my father-in-law back safely!
Of course, if these Americans still don't know their place, then I will consider directly dealing with the people who are creating the problem!"
