As a paparazzi, where would you find any professional ethics?

In Song Zhe's eyes, other people's scandals and gossip were just meal tickets to fatten himself up.

After the reporter Song Zhe finished talking with the newspaper editor, known as Uncle He, he realized that asking for one hundred thousand or eight hundred thousand was indeed a bit petty.

So, he ran home to prepare, planning to go all out and pull off something big!

The next day.

It was now December.

A cold wave swept through Casino, bringing a sharp drop in temperature, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, expected to last for three days.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Su Yehao made a decision to temporarily suspend work on both the Qianxin City and Cyberport projects, giving the workers a few days off to rest.

He handled official business at home in the morning, but was constantly distracted.

After all, news of Nong Qingying's impending delivery could come at any moment. Faced with this major life event, everything else had to take a backseat for the time being.

Not only him, but Grandpa Tang and his father, Su Laodie, had also been calling several times a day recently, asking about the situation.

Whether it was the Su family or the Tang family, the population on both sides was sparse.

The last time the family added a member was more than twenty years ago, when Su Yehao, the only child, was born. His elders were inevitably nervous.

Even Su Yehao's mother had recently canceled all her business arrangements and stayed in Casino, waiting to become a grandmother.

Don't think that Old Madam Tang doesn't have much affection for Nong Qingying.

But on the matter of giving birth this time, she only felt exceptionally gratified. Most of the people of her age had already become grandmothers or grandmothers, which made her extremely envious. Now she was finally about to get her wish.

Therefore, she also specially prepared a pair of full-green jade bracelets as a gift for Nong Qingying, which was considered a formal recognition of her existence.

Su Yehao didn't think anything of it, but Nong Qingying was particularly moved.

...

Around ten o'clock on the morning of the first.

Su Yehao's convoy had just driven a few hundred meters when someone suddenly jumped out of the roadside to block the car, threw a letter on the windshield of the lead car, and ran into the roadside woods.

The bodyguards perked up, putting on a two-hundred-percent effort, and immediately escorted Su Yehao's car away first, leaving people behind to carefully open the letter. Inside, they found photos and a letter.

Looking at the contents of the photos, it was the scene of Su Yehao taking Nong Qingying for a walk last night, which Song Zhe had captured.

Big Wave Bay has a particularly good ecological environment.

The person who delivered the letter was the reporter Song Zhe. When he ran into the roadside woods in a panic, his face was scratched several times by branches. Only when he stopped, panting, did he realize that his face was burning.

However, compared to the possible gains, this pain was nothing at all.

Worried about being caught up by Su Yehao's bodyguards, Song Zhe didn't rest for even half a minute and continued to change direction and run away.

Exchanging news for money seemed to be a matter of mutual consent.

But if it were really investigated, it would be enough to send Song Zhe in for a few years of free meals. Of course, he didn't dare to gamble that Su Yehao wouldn't choose a lose-lose situation, so he didn't plan to show his face for the time being, wanting to test the waters first before making a long-term plan.

Su Yehao was riding in a modified Mercedes-Benz van, continuing along the road.

The car was so spacious that a small LCD TV was specially installed on the internal partition. The seats had massage and reclining functions, and the floor was covered with walnut wood panels. In terms of comfort, it far exceeded the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur.

At this moment.

He was wondering what had just happened when the bodyguard responsible for driving handed over the walkie-talkie and reported, "Boss, our captain is looking for you."

Reaching out and taking the walkie-talkie.

Su Yehao asked, "It's me. What's going on with that guy before? What did he throw at your car?"

"A letter... Inside are photos of you and Miss Nong taking a walk. The letter threatens you to prepare 500,000 Casino dollars in cash, and contact you by phone at eight o'clock tonight to discuss the transaction location. If you notify the police, he will send the photos to major newspapers, and then reveal the news that you have a child."

After listening to the bodyguard's captain, Su Yehao immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was strange, and it felt familiar.

Of course, it felt familiar.

This was almost always how it was portrayed in TV series and movies, except that others were kidnapping, and now it had been changed to using news to force Su Yehao to pay.

After being nervous for a moment, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yehao pressed the key on the walkie-talkie and said:

"It's a good thing they contacted me first, and didn't release the news directly. Call and ask about the situation. As long as they are willing to keep their mouths shut, I can give him the money."

A mere 500,000 Casino dollars seemed very ignorant.

The reason was that the reporter Song Zhe didn't know how worried Su Yehao was about this matter being exposed, thinking that the information in his hand was only worth so much money.

Even when asking for 500,000 Casino dollars, Song Zhe was actually muttering in his heart, worried that Su Yehao simply didn't care about the matter of having a child being exposed, and in the end, he would get nothing. So, he came up with such a price that was not too much or too little.

Actually.

Even if he asked for three or four million Casino dollars, in order to prevent the backyard from catching fire, Su Yehao would most likely agree, pinch his nose, and spend a little money for harmony.

Unfortunately, the reporter Song Zhe didn't know.

Song Zhe ran to the roadside to take a bus home, and on the way, he was worried that his dark heart would cause this deal to fall through. He was worried and thought that he should have written 300,000 or 200,000 instead...

Su Yehao had already resigned himself to his fate.

There was no need to deliberately prepare 500,000 Casino dollars. The family vault held tens of millions of standby money for emergencies.

In his opinion, there was also no need to inform Nong Qingying and other family members, so as not to make them alarmed. He only planned to quietly settle this matter, and it would be best if it were as if nothing had happened.

If there were no accidents, it should have been a happy ending.

However.

What he feared came true, and something unexpected really happened in the middle.

Yesterday, the newspaper editor, Uncle He, sensed something unusual from Song Zhe's attitude. Afterwards, when he called Song Zhe again, the guy didn't answer.

Since he knew that there was big news to be grabbed at the Central Earl General Hospital, Uncle He simply arranged for the newspaper's reporters to inquire about news from the hospital.

The methods were a bit dirty.

The reporter who received the arrangement directly spent a thousand dollars to bribe a cleaning worker in the hospital, asking an aunt what happened.

What is professionalism?

This is called professionalism.

Doctors and nurses have high salaries, and for the sake of their work, they will not easily betray the young master.

Cleaning workers don't have so many concerns. They were lured by the reporter with money and a few words, and soon revealed everything they had seen and heard recently.

She said that a pregnant woman had recently been admitted to the VIP ward, who was the hospital owner's granddaughter-in-law, a beauty like a flower. Obstetricians and gynecologists had to run back and forth several times a day, taking care of her more carefully than their own wives, and so on.

The reporter who learned the news was stunned, completely unexpected that it would be such a heavyweight news story.

The transaction was scheduled for eight o'clock in the evening, and the time had not yet arrived.

That evening, the evening paper had just been published.

On the front page of a newspaper, the headline clearly read, "Exclusive Good News! Prince Hao Accompanies Delivery at the Hospital, and the Trillion-Dollar Fortune Finally Has an Heir!?"

This newspaper had little influence, and no one usually paid special attention to it.

More than half an hour after the evening paper began to be sold, Su Yehao received a report from Zhuang Wei's assistant.

After listening, he felt dizzy.

Su Yehao's mind was filled with thoughts, he had already agreed to pay the money, where was the trust between people, why didn't they have professional ethics...
