The bodyguard beside Zhou Xuan immediately went forward. “This is President Zhou of the Zhou Corporation in the central city of the Federation. President Zhou won’t go back on his word. If he agrees to give you this one million yuan, he definitely won’t lose a single cent.”
“What President Zhou? 1 don’t know him.” The man glanced at Zhou Xuan disdainfully. “I don’t care who came today, nothing will work.”
“Indeed.” Zhou Xuan’s eyes seemed to be tempered with ice, emitting a chill. “But money should be useful.”
“You didn’t stand up for him when 1 asked for money just now. Now that I’m serious, you know that you can use money to settle things. Let me tell you, it’s already too late.” Although the man said that, he had already regained his rationality the moment Zhou Xuan mentioned compensation.
After all, he had put in so much effort for the sake of money.
However, for the sake of his face, the man did not want others to say that he was using his deceased father as a tool to earn money. Therefore, he pretended to reject Zhou Xuan, thinking of scaring the doctor first before reluctantly accepting the money.
This way, not only could he protect his reputation, but he could also receive a million yuan as compensation. It was really a way to kill two birds with one stone.
However, he still underestimated the strength of the bodyguards around him. He thought that with a knife in hand, the bodyguards would not dare to attack casually. In fact, all of this was just his beautiful fantasy.
Shan Yue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, “The old man has already passed away. He won’t be able to come back no matter what. He definitely doesn’t want to see you like this. Don’t you want money? Take the money and leave quickly. This matter will be over.”
When the man heard this, he immediately raised his knife and shouted at Shan Yue, “I told you I’m not doing this for money. Also, don’t talk about my father!”
“Am I wrong?” Shan Yue’s expression did not change. “This is your best choice at the moment.”
He had clearly warned Shan Yue, but she still had this attitude. The man raised his hand and couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked quickly in Shan Yue’s direction. At the same time, he waved the knife in his hand and ran towards the doctor.
Zhou Xuan looked at the scene in front of him. Even though he knew that Shan Yue’s skills were impressive, no one knew what would happen in the next few seconds. Naturally, there was no time for him to think so much.
Out of concern for Shan Yue, he pulled her into his arms and turned around to show his back to protect her.
Shan Yue did not struggle at all and allowed Zhou Xuan to hug her. The moment he turned around, Shan Yue looked up slightly and their eyes met.
In this short moment, Zhou Xuan looked at Shan Yue’s face at such a close distance. Coupled with the nervousness brought about by the first physical contact, a sweet feeling that he had never felt before arose in his heart.
Now, in Zhou Xuan’s heart, he wished that time could be forever frozen in this moment, allowing him to enjoy this moment of pleasure.
However, this was ultimately just his imagination. Reality could not do as he wished, but even so, he felt very satisfied.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan’s bodyguards stepped forward and prepared to fight, blocking the man’s path.
Due to the huge difference in numbers and physique, the originally brave man immediately felt timid and wanted to retreat. However, he knew that if he stopped at this moment, he would lose all his face.
Suddenly, the man had an idea. He couldn’t cut the woman in front of him, and there was a lone doctor. He didn’t have any bodyguards specially protecting him. At the thought of this, the man immediately turned around and walked towards the doctor.
On the other hand, as Zhou Xuan’s bodyguards had gone to protect Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue, he could only instinctively run behind the bodyguards at the door of the ward next to Zhou Xuan.
Although the doctor was helpless, he still implicated another group of bodyguards who were originally uninvolved at the door of the next ward.
The person living in this ward was none other than Yang Ning, the grandfather of the head of the Yang family, Yang Shuo.
In the central city of the Federation, be it the Yang family’s strength or the scale of their operations, they were not inferior to the Zhou family, let alone other small and medium-sized enterprises..
