The Su family, a second-tier aristocratic family in the capital, resided in an exceptionally large villa. However, at its entrance, numerous military vehicles were already parked. Leading them was Xiao Ye, who dismounted with his rifle, unleashing a sweeping horizontal strike with the force of a rainbow!
With a bang, the villa's iron gate was shattered by Xiao Ye's shot, startling the entire Su family. Naturally, there were guards at the Su family's entrance, but upon seeing Xiao Ye and his men in military uniforms, they dared not make a move. Moreover, apart from Xiao Ye, who wielded a cold weapon in the form of a long spear, the others were equipped with firearms. They dared not act, they dared not act…
"Oh dear, please calm yourselves, please calm yourselves…"
Su Meichao rushed out. Upon seeing that Xiao Ye had broken down the gate, he broke out in a cold sweat, babbling incessantly.
Behind him followed the members of the Su family, but they dared not utter a word, trembling with fear.
"You good-for-nothing Su family!" Xiao Ye pointed his spear horizontally at Su Meichao. "Do you know how important hemostatic drugs and painkillers are to our military? You actually sent people to tear up the certificates of Yuanfeng Pharmaceutical Factory. One of those certificates was issued by our military to Yuanfeng Group. How dare you!"
Su Meichao was so terrified that he directly knelt on the ground: "A misunderstanding… a misunderstanding, young general. I truly didn't know. If I had known that Yuanfeng Group cooperated with the military, I wouldn't have dared to provoke them even if you beat me to death…"
Plop! Plop…
The Su family members knelt down one after another, thoroughly terrified. Even with ten heads, they probably wouldn't have imagined that Yuanfeng Pharmaceutical Industry would cooperate with the military, and that a certificate issued by the military had been torn up by their people. If the Xiao family pursued this matter, the entire Su family might fall into decline!
"Do you know how many soldiers' lives are at stake with these hemostatic drugs and painkillers? You actually dared to put up seals. You are truly courting death!" Xiao Ye said coldly.
"Our Su family is willing to compensate. Please, Mr. Xiao, spare us…" Su Meichao pleaded. What was wrong with the Su family recently? His own son had an arm disabled, and now they had provoked the Xiao family. He wished he could die.
It was likely that after this incident, the Su family would become the lowest-ranked among the second-tier aristocratic families.
"I'll give you three days to reopen the pharmaceutical factory, and you must compensate me properly, otherwise, I will arrest all of you from the Su family!" Xiao Ye obviously couldn't truly resort to violence. This was the capital, after all, the emperor's domain. Even the Xiao family could not act with impunity.
Soon, Xiao Ye withdrew with his men.
The entire Su family gasped for breath.
"What should we do now? We've offended the Xiao family!"
"Oh dear, Big Brother, why didn't you investigate before you started messing with this Yuanfeng Pharmaceutical Industry?"
"Now look at this. The Xiao family is angry, and we still have to apologize and compensate. Who knows how much we'll have to compensate…"
"…"
The members of the Su family began to complain.
Su Meichao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his expression gradually turning grim. This time, he had been played by Li Se.
"No one is allowed to spread word of today's events!" Su Meichao stood up from the ground, his face extremely dark.
He truly couldn't imagine that one day, he would be forced to bow his head by the boss of a small company. He spat in frustration. What gave Li Se the right to cooperate with the military?
"He's truly struck it lucky!" Su Meichao thought fiercely.
…
At Yuanfeng Pharmaceutical Factory, Ma Wenbin, who had torn up the factory's certificates earlier, returned. His face was filled with smiles as he said to Li Se and Zhang Aimin, "Uh, after my investigation, the previous certificates were all genuine. It was my mistake and a misunderstanding. I have already arranged for people to reapply for these certificates. I will immediately have people tear down all the seals on the factory, and production can resume."
Less than half a day had passed, and Ma Wenbin's attitude had completely changed. Cold sweat was streaming down his face. When he learned that the factory cooperated with the military and that he had torn up a certificate issued by the military, he almost peed himself from fear.
However, Li Se was not buying it and sneered, "Heh, you tore up all my certificates, implying that our factory was producing with fake documents. You also asked me to sign a share transfer agreement. What, do we not need to sign a contract now?"
Ma Wenbin's face turned ashen. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Li, everything before was a misunderstanding. I know I was wrong. The most important thing now is to get the pharmaceutical factory back into operation as soon as possible."
"You tell me to close, and I close? You tell me to open, and I open?" Li Se sneered. "Go back and tell your master that if he wants me to reopen the factory, he can come to Qingyun City personally to apologize to me!"
As soon as these words were uttered, Ma Wenbin's face changed completely. The person behind him was naturally the Su family. The Su family was, after all, an aristocratic family in the capital. For Li Se to demand that someone from the Su family come personally to apologize was outrageously presumptuous!
However, at this moment, if Li Se refused to reopen the factory, things would only get worse. There was no other way; he was at Li Se's mercy.
"This…" Ma Wenbin said with a bitter smile. "Look, I've already apologized to you. Reopening the factory is also beneficial to you, isn't it? Keeping it closed like this is not a solution, and it will have a significant impact on your business. Moreover, the Su family is in the capital, and it would take a whole day for them to come here. So, I think it's best not to be stubborn and let the factory resume production, which is the top priority."
"If the Su family doesn't come to apologize, I won't reopen the factory. Let it stay closed. Also, don't tear down the seals. If you dare to tear down the seals, I'll close it for a year first!" Li Se was not one to be bullied. The Su family had truly gone too far this time, and this was not the first time. Therefore, he had to teach them a lesson.
"No, no, no… How about this, please calm down first. I'll go back and discuss it with my superiors." Ma Wenbin was extremely frustrated and could only leave the pharmaceutical factory for now.
After coming out, Ma Wenbin took out his phone and made a call to the butler of the Su family.
"How did things go? The pharmaceutical factory should be back in production, right?" The Su family butler's voice came from the other end of the phone. Previously, the Su family had promised the Xiao family to compensate and apologize, but in the eyes of the Su family, Li Se was still just a minor figure, the boss of a small company. Having Ma Wenbin go over to apologize was already quite good. As for compensation, they only said it verbally.
"Things are a bit difficult to handle," Ma Wenbin said with a wry smile.
"What's going on?" the butler frowned.
Ma Wenbin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Li Se wants someone from the Su family to come to Qingyun City personally to apologize!"
