Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Moral Kidnapping

Given Chu Liyuan’s usual way of handling things, how could he possibly spend so much time on this?

Not to mention dealing with medium and small enterprises like theirs, even for big corporations, a single word from Chu Liyuan could make it disappear within a day.

This is the difference between a business and a financial conglomerate.

But what happened this time?

While Jian Dan worried about this question, she felt her legs being shaken relentlessly, nearly causing her to lose her balance…

“Stop!” Now that she already knew the other party’s intentions, Jian Dan naturally didn’t need to be polite to them anymore.

Feeling the chill emanating from Jian Dan, Liao Meiran instinctively let go of her grip on Jian Dan’s legs, even retreating several steps back.

She had the illusion that if she didn’t let go, her arms might break off in the next moment.

The two older individuals, a man and a woman, who seemed slightly older, were likely Liao Meiran and Liao Xingran’s parents. Seeing their daughter being frightened and stepping back, they personally stepped forward…

Although they also felt the intense chill coming from Jian Dan, for the sake of their company, they had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Two people, both well over fifty, thus thumped down on their knees in front of Jian Dan.

Jian Dan was shocked by their sudden actions, taking several steps back.

“Mrs. Chu, please have mercy on us and let our company go! If my company really collapses, then our whole family will not be able to survive!” The man spoke up first.

“Yes, Mrs. Chu, the previous incident was all our son Xingran’s fault, and we apologize to you on his behalf. Please, let bygones be bygones and have mercy, give us a way out!” The woman followed suit, even going as far as to kowtow after speaking.

Seeing such a scene, Jian Dan felt not a hint of sympathy but rather disgust!

Some might say Jian Dan’s heart is too hard, but in her view, this was not pleading, it was moral blackmail.

Two individuals, well over fifty, kowtowing to a younger person like her, was basically cutting short her own life!

They chose this way to beg Jian Dan for mercy in front of so many reporters, which was just forcing Jian Dan’s hand, so she truly could not accept it.

Before Jian Dan had the chance to speak, Liao Xingran had already approached her.

That fierce look on her face was not one of someone coming to apologize, but rather of someone seeking vengeance.

The two individuals who had been kneeling before Jian Dan changed their expression at the sight of Liao Xingran, hurriedly stood up, and tried to pull Liao Xingran away. “How did you manage to get out here?”

“You’re really shameless, coming here to embarrass us!” Liao Xingran’s tone was loud enough for everyone present to hear her words.

“Don’t go crazy here. Hurry back—” she said, casting a glance at two men in black suits behind her.

Upon receiving the signal, the two men approached Liao Xingran, each taking a side to lift her up and start taking her away.

“Let me go, let me go, this is illegal confinement! Let go of me!”

It wasn’t hard to guess from the conversation that Liao Xingran had probably been confined at home by her parents but had managed to escape.

Because of Liao Xingran’s shouting, she drew the encirclement of reporters around her, and trying to leave surrounded by reporters was not an easy task.

As the two men were distracted dealing with the reporters, Liao Xingran took the opportunity to break free from their hold, and the unleashed Liao Xingran charged straight towards Jian Dan…
