Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 358: Chapter 357: It’s Your Turn to Compensate Me

Because of her status in the family, Huo Qianfang developed a peculiar personality. When she lost her temper, even the old man of the family dared not provoke her.

Now, as Huo Qianfang stormed in with a menacing air, how could Huo Dongjun not be afraid?

If the grandfather found out about the things he had done outside, involving Huo Qianfang in this mess, he would surely be whipped upon returning home!

”Qianfang, this... don’t be upset, I... I’ll explain it to you,” stuttered Huo Dongjun.

”I just want to know if you are responsible for this,” Huo Qianfang said sternly.

”I did do this, but... but it was for your own good...” Huo Dongjun hastily replied.

”Seventh Uncle, you did this for my good? Or do you look down on me!” Huo Qianfang spoke with a deep voice, ”Using such methods to smear Ying’er, and then propelling me to the top? Seventh Uncle, do you think I can’t compete with her? Do you think I’m inferior to Ying’er?”

”That’s not what I meant...” Huo Dongjun said anxiously.

”If that’s not what you meant, then what did you mean?” Huo Qianfang’s voice turned colder, ”If it’s not that, are you saying you deliberately wanted to harm me? With the state of things now, how do you expect me to work in the future?”

”This...” Huo Dongjun was completely dumbfounded; he really had no way to explain this.

”Seventh Uncle, you have disappointed me so much!” Huo Qianfang sighed and turned to leave.

Huo Dongjun’s complexion was ashen. He knew that when he returned home this time, he was not going to have it easy.

”Shangguan Ying’er!” Huo Dongjun suddenly clenched his teeth and yelled, ”To think you would do this to me, I will not let you leave Pingbei Province alive. Ki Yong, find someone to catch her for me. I want her to never see the light of day again!”

”Ah?” The young man beside him looked panic-stricken, ”Seventh Lord, Shangguan Ying’er, she is a member of the Shangguan family, won’t doing this provoke the Shangguans? If the Shangguan family fights back desperately, then...”

”Are we, the Huo Family, afraid of the Shangguan family?” Huo Dongjun said angrily, ”Besides, the Shangguan family is on the decline now, what’s there to fear? Just do as I say!”

Ki Yong scratched his head and ultimately didn’t dare say anything more, turning to leave.

At the same time, there was chaos at Zhaobang Entertainment and with the production crew.

At Zhaobang Entertainment, the plagiarism issue had just been settled, and Zhao Jianbang had already erupted in anger.

After Zhao Kaiwen appeared and Ying’er successfully resolved the matter, Zhao Jianbang flew into a rage once more, rushing over to give his son several slaps.

They were in the entertainment business, and they knew well that after this incident, Ying’er’s career would reach new heights. If Ying’er were still with their company, Zhaobang Entertainment could definitely become one of the top entertainment companies in the country, maybe even taking the top spot.

Now, with Zhao Wenfeng having terminated Ying’er’s contract, how huge was their loss?

”Five hundred and seventy million! Five hundred and seventy million!” Zhao Jianbang was pulling on Zhao Wenfeng’s ear and roaring, ”Is your vision really that short-sighted in this lifetime? For five hundred and seventy million, do you realize what you have given up? It could have been fifty-seven billion!”

Zhao Wenfeng felt an urge to cry; he hadn’t wanted this either. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have done such a thing, not for all the money in the world!

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Su Yang entered with a smile on his face.

Zhao Jianbang, who had been in a rage, managed to squeeze out a hint of a smile upon seeing Su Yang.

”Lawyer Su, you’re here, please take a seat, take a seat!” Zhao Jianbang himself came forward to greet him, which he hadn’t done before.

”No need to sit!” Su Yang said with a light smile, ”I’m here to discuss something with everyone!”

”Whatever it is, Lawyer Su, please feel free to speak!” Zhao Jianbang said with a servile smile. ”By the way, where is Miss Ying’er? Why not invite her to join in the conversation? Ah, my son was really too impulsive before, and there were things he shouldn’t have done. I want to take this opportunity to apologize to you, Lawyer Su. How about this, I’ll arrange something tonight and personally apologize to Lawyer Su and Miss Ying’er, does that sound good?”

”That won’t be necessary, why be so polite!” Su Yang said with a smile, ”We’ve already terminated the contract, and I’ve paid the penalty fee. We’re no longer part of the same family. Why be so courteous!”

Zhao Jianbang’s face turned red, and he said with an awkward smile, ”Lawyer Su, you’re being too distant by saying that. Don’t take the past to heart, I’m here to make amends...”

”No need, no need!” Su Yang said with a laugh, ”But please, don’t be so affectionate. I’m here strictly on official business!”

”Official business?” Zhao Jianbang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Yang meant.

”It’s like this,” Su Yang said with a smile, ”According to our contract, if Miss Ying’er was the one to breach the contract, then we would pay the penalty fee and terminate the contract. However, if it were you who unilaterally terminated the contract, isn’t it you who should pay the penalty fee?”

”This...” Zhao Jianbang was dumbfounded, it was indeed true. Now with the proof that those previous events were false, it meant that Ying’er had not breached the contract. Consequently, they terminated the contract and owed Ying’er a penalty fee!

The key issue was that the penalty fee wasn’t low at all, it could go up to ten billion. No matter the amount, it was a huge loss for their company.

Zhao Jianbang shot an angry glance at Zhao Wenfeng, who didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Not only had they lost Ying’er, a megastar, but they also had to pay a penalty fee. He had truly hit rock bottom this time.

”Lawyer Su, we’re all family here, why... why make things so tense...” Zhao Jianbang said awkwardly.

”Chairman Zhao, you’re mistaken!” Su Yang said, ”We were family before the contract was terminated. But at that time, you had already caused quite a tension. A penalty fee of five hundred and seventy million, haha, Chairman Zhao, there’s something about this penalty fee that I wanted to mention. I had someone look it up, and there seem to be a lot of irregularities in it; it might even involve contract fraud. You’ll have to compensate for that as well!”

”What?” Zhao Jianbang felt as if he were about to vomit blood—more compensation on top of the penalty fee? How much would they have to pay?

Zhao Wenfeng felt like crying. When they thought that Ying’er was finished and that the Shangguan family was about to collapse, they indeed had many unreasonable terms while demanding the penalty fee.

At that time, Su Yang didn’t pursue the matter and just signed the agreement; they thought they had found a sucker.

But the real sucker turned out to be themselves.

Su Yang had clearly been preparing this move all along, waiting for a chance to bite back at them afterward.

Moreover, with the huge amount of five hundred and seventy million as a penalty fee, if Su Yang were to bite back at them, they would suffer a significant loss, or else they wouldn’t be able to settle this at all!
