Chapter 251 Giving in
"First of all" Gu Ranle has not yet gotten the answer she wanted.
Secondly, we naturally have to wait.
She looked at Shen Hengbin sharply, her tone as polite and gentle as ever.
"Mr. Shen, I'd like to trouble you to ask the young master for me. I want to know the whole story. From how the young master and Gu Zhenzhen met, to why Gu Zhenzhen had a miscarriage and was sent to the emergency room half an hour after heavy bleeding, I want to know the whole story. Listen carefully, I want to know all the details."
As Gu Ranle spoke, he walked to a corner of the room, pulled over a chair, placed it steadily in front of Shen Wen, and then slowly sat down.
She leaned forward slightly, leaning her body slightly, approaching Shen Wen, who was trembling like a sieve, and said in a low and powerful voice:
"Mr. Shen, I'm kindly reminding you that you'd better think carefully before you speak. I'm giving you a chance, and it's only once. If you miss it, there will be no chance to make up for it."
After saying that, Gu Ranle looked up at Shen Hengbin with a smile on her lips, a smile that made people tremble in their hearts.
"Mr. Shen, you can start asking questions to the young master."
The corners of Shen Hengbin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself:
This person is kneeling in front of you, but you ask me to ask instead of asking yourself. Can my asking be more effective than yours? You are just taking off your pants to fart, it's a waste of time!
However, he could only say these words in his heart and never dared to say them out loud.
Gu Ranle's "reminder" to Shen Wen just now was actually a disguised warning to him.
In front of a wealthy family like the Gu family, which is already in decline but has deep roots and a profound foundation, the Shen family is like an egg hitting a rock and is vulnerable.
He who knows the times is a hero, Shen Hengbin understands this truth very well.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
He knew that he had to stay calm and not make things worse.
He had been struggling in the business world for decades and had finally established a foothold in Gucheng. He absolutely could not fail at this moment.
Because this fall might mean there is no recovery and there will be no chance to stand up again.
Shen Hengbin's eyes became firm and deep. He looked at Shen Wen, with a tone of unquestionable majesty: "Go ahead, tell me everything. No, tell Miss Gu. Don't hide anything and don't try to evade responsibility. Miss Gu is here, she will hear every detail clearly."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen's face turned even paler. His lips trembled, and he seemed to want to speak, but he didn't know how to start.
Gu Ranle sat there quietly, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through Shen Wen's heart.
The atmosphere in the whole room became extremely depressing, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
Seeing this, Shen Hengbin kicked Shen Wen again.
However, this kick was much lighter than the previous one.
"Shen Wen, you are an adult now and you should understand what responsibility is. Now, it's time to show your courage and responsibility. If you explain things clearly, you may be able to get a little forgiveness."
Shen Wen was startled by his father's kick, and then he stammered and told the story of how he met Gu Zhenzhen and what happened afterwards.
Gu Ranle listened quietly, without any ripples on her face, but her eyes became sharper, as if she could see through every subtle change in Shen Wen's expression.
Shen Hengbin, who was standing aside, was already sweating profusely. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling very anxious.
As Shen Wen's father, after listening to his son's story, he wanted to teach this disobedient son a lesson immediately.
As Shen Wen told the story, the truth of the whole incident gradually came to light before everyone, like an onion being peeled layer by layer.
Gu Ranle suppressed his impatience and listened to everything patiently.
After listening to it, she just wanted to say that Shen Wen and Gu Zhenzhen should be tied together, the kind that cannot be separated even in death.
After all, finding a third person like them in the world is harder than climbing to the sky.
Shen Wen finally finished speaking. He was like a deflated balloon. He instantly became listless and collapsed to the ground with his head drooping, not moving at all.
Shen Hengbin became even more angry when he saw his son's appearance. He walked forward and kicked Shen Wen again.
Shen Wen slowly raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly, he burst into tears with a "wow".
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please ask Miss Gu for mercy and ask her to forgive me, okay? Gu Zhenzhen wants money, please give her money, okay? Dad, I am your only son, you can't just watch your son die, right? Dad! Dad, I beg you! I will listen to you in the future and never cause trouble again, okay, Dad?"
Shen Wen's voice was full of pity, fear, and a strong desire for life.
This crying made Gu Ranle feel like a big villain for a moment.
Look at how scared a grown man is.
Shen Hengbin looked at his son's appearance and knew in his heart that Shen Wen might be in great danger today.
For a moment, his eyes turned red.
It's really hard to describe this father and son duo.
Gu Ranle couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she waved her hand, interrupting the suffocating silence.
"Don't worry, no one wants your life. Your life is not as valuable as you think."
Gu Ranle sneered and thought to himself, if I take your life, won’t I have to pay with another life too?
This deal is not worthwhile at all.
As Shen Wen listened to Gu Ranle's words, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe his ears, then a look of joy blossomed on his face and he instantly became energetic.
"You, you mean...you let me go?"
He asked eagerly, a tremor in his voice.
Gu Ranle shook his fingers gently, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"If I don't want your life, how does that mean I'm letting you go? Your ability to understand is really worrying. But you did say one thing right. Gu Zhenzhen does want money. If you give her money, this matter can still be discussed."
As she said that, she turned to look at Shen Hengbin, her eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning, "Now, let's talk about 'Second Coming'."
Finally, I couldn't avoid this level.
Shen Hengbin's heart tightened, but he held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Gu Ranle with a firm gaze.
"Miss Gu, please speak frankly. If I, Shen Hengbin, can do it, I will do my best to do it."
"Secondly, it's naturally about compensation." Gu Ranle's voice was calm and firm. She wanted to know what solution Shen Hengbin would choose. "I want to know, Mr. Shen, are you planning to settle it privately or..."
"Privately! Of course privately!"
Shen Hengbin answered almost without thinking.
He later found out that the lawyer who went to Gu's house that day was Jiang Hanyu, a well-known and undefeated lawyer in the legal profession.
If Jiang Hanyu were to be Gu Zhenzhen's attorney, the Shen family would have no chance of winning.
Moreover, the incident in which Gu Zhenzhen hit Shen Wen with her car had been settled privately, and a compensation agreement had been signed, although the compensation money had not yet been received.
Fortunately, it hasn't been given yet, otherwise today's problem might not be solved by just a few million.
"Miss Gu, just tell me the number. No matter how much it is, we will pay it back even if we sell everything we have."
Shen Hengbin quickly expressed his position. He knew that attitude was crucial at this time.
He must let Gu Ranle see their sincerity and determination.
Gu Ranle looked at Shen Hengbin's anxious and sincere expression, and her heart couldn't help but move slightly.
She is not a cold-blooded person, but Shen Wen and his son are really a headache.
However, since they are willing to compensate, this matter will be easy to handle.
"Okay, since Mr. Shen is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." Gu Ranle's voice was crisp and clear. "We will make a comprehensive assessment of the amount of compensation based on factors such as Gu Zhenzhen's injuries, mental loss, and subsequent treatment costs. Of course, if Mr. Shen feels that it is unreasonable, we can also ask a third-party agency to conduct an appraisal."
Shen Hengbin nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Miss Gu, we will definitely cooperate. As long as we can solve this problem, we will do anything."
Gu Ranle smiled gently, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll have my lawyer contact you as soon as possible to get the compensation agreement done."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Shen Wen, "Mr. Shen, the reason why this matter can be resolved today is because you have a father who is willing to pay for you. It just so happens that Gu Zhenzhen is a person who values money over life."
"Mr. Shen, you can rest assured that the compensation agreement that Gu Zhenzhen signed with you before will be deposited into your account on time tonight." Gu Ranle confirmed again, his tone firm and decisive.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hengbin quickly waved his hand to refuse, his face full of panic, "Miss Gu, we really can't accept that compensation--"
Gu Ranle smiled slightly, "Mr. Shen, we have to be clear about the compensation. These are two different things, and we have to calculate them as they should be. I don't want people to gossip about me behind my back and say that the Gu family is bullying me. My personal reputation is a small matter, but I can't ignore the face of the Gu family and the opinions of others."
At this point, Shen Hengbin didn't know how to respond except to smile awkwardly.
After sending Gu Ranle to the parking lot downstairs and watching her drive away with his own eyes, Shen Hengbin's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
As soon as he relaxed, his whole body seemed to fall apart. His entire body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
He gasped for breath, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he had escaped danger this time.
At the same time, it also made him realize that some people are out of his reach, and some people are also beyond his reach.
Gu Ranle showed mercy tonight, otherwise, even if Shen Wen saved his life, he would be skinned alive.
