Chapter 171
Just as Lincon finished talking, the hall wem into total silence.
Everyone looked at each other, they found Lincon’s statement strangely funny.
They thought they had heard him wrongly.
Was Lincon trying to get the Helping Hands Medical Center and the Song family to kneel down to everyone?
Did he even say that the Zhao family had been doing good deeds for the past few days?
Lincon was really dense, wasn’t he?
When Lincon saw that everyone was quiet, he cleared his throat and continued, “I know that you are very angry. The Helping Hands Medical Center and the Song Family deserve to be sentenced to death for doing so much evil. However, I’m solely believe that being forgiving and merciful is a virtuous thing to do, hence I’ve decided to give them some leeway. Everyone should realize how important the Zhao family will be in Golden City in the future. I’m sure you all would agree, right?”
After he said that, the heavy silence continued to hang in the air.
It seemed that Lincon was truly ignorant. He had no clue about everything that had happened earlier.
Did he think that the Zhao family was going to soar to the sky?
Bernard was so angry that his face turning red.
He had taken the risk by giving the Zhao family a way out. But he didn’t expect that Lincon would come digging his own grave then and there!
Bernard was enraged as he charged towards Lincon.
Lincon, who remained oblivious, thought that Bernard was on the same boat as his, determined to punish the Song family and the Helping Hands Medical Center. Therefore, he said to Bernard, “Mr. Hsu, please let them go. The Zhao family will definitely repay you in the future.”
Bernard threw a slap in Lincon’s face.
Lincon was dumbfounded at once!
“Mr. Hsu you!” Lincon’s face became red and swollen instantly
“God d’mn you! On your knees now! You should kneel down too! Kneel down and beg for forgiveness from everyone in the city!”
Bernard kicked Lincon’s knee.
Lincon staggered for a few steps, his heart burning with fury. “Mr. Hsu, what do you mean by this? Why should I kneel? Are you making a mistake?”
Bernard’s blood was quickened with rage that he wanted to hit Lincon another time.
But by then, Daniel rushed over and grabbed Lincon, speaking in a trembling voice, “Dad, stop talking. Kneel down! If you don’t, the Zhao family will not be able to survive till the next sunrise!”
Daniel was already scared out of its wits.
He had no more courage left to confront the Helping Hands Medical Center.
Lincon was even more confused.
What was going on?!
Why did the Zhao family have to kneel down?! Weren’t they winning this battle?
Why did the Song family and the Helping Hands Medical Center, the butt of everyone’s jokes, look so indifferent at this moment?
What on earth was happening?
“Kneel down first! I’ll explain what happened to you later.” Daniel held Lincon’s hand and dropped onto his knees directly.
The crowd sneered seeing how the Zhao family was paying the price for the evil deeds that they had done.
Daniel kowtowed three times on the ground before standing up.
Bernard saw this and turned to leave.
However, Lincon immediately stopped Bernard and asked, “Mr. Hsu, we’re going to talk about the third agenda, right? Since you asked me to kneel, I will do it. But answer me, are we going to talk about the third agenda now?”
Everyone grimaced at Lincon’s audacity and ignorance.
Lincon still had no idea what was going on!
However, Lincon was unwilling to give in!
Someone had purposely blocked the road early this morning. When he finally came over, he was asked to kneel down in front of everyone. Only God could tell how confused he was at this moment!
He did not want to be humiliated so easily! He was only a step away from wealth and fame!
As long as they covered the third agenda, they could strengthen the reputation and status of the Zhao family in Golden City!
They were the ones who proposed this professional ethics agreement anyway!
The veins on Bernard’s face were popping out!
“Good! You want to do the third agenda, right? Fine! Then let’s go to the third agenda then! Come and submit the proposal!”.
Bernard shouted.
Daniel tugged on Lincon’s arm, hinting to him to stop talking.
However, Lincon was so furious that he did not care about Daniel at all.
He held the agreement in his hand and saw that there were three spaces on it to be signed.
The first column was meant to be signed by the proposer, which was the Zhao family.
Meanwhile, the second columi should be co-signed by the remaining pharmaceutical companies in the city. And lastly, the Golden City Pharmaceutical Association should endorse the documents by signing on the third column.
Lincon was about to sign the first column space before Bernard said, “Lincon, calm down. Don’t sign it first.”
Lincon was stunned. He immediately patted his head and said, “Yes, yes! We should be the last to sign it.”
Seeing that Lincon remained persistent, Daniel couldn’t help but shake his head.
The Zhao family was in jeopardy. If Lincon continued to make a scene, the Zhao family would be ruined by him!
“Dad, what we did before was all exposed!
We are doomed! Can’t you see it?” Daniel yelled.
Lincon felt as though he was struck by lightning after hearing Daniel’s words. His body started to tremble and the pen in his hand fell to the floor.
Their deeds had been exposed…
Daniel didn’t care about his dignity anymore as he narrated everything that had just happened to Lincon.
After hearing this, Lincon seemed to have been frozen in place as drops of sweat flowed down his forehead.
He looked to the crowd again.
The eyes of the crowd were still the same as before.
However, this time, he could finally understand the emotions in their eyes.
It was mockery; they were seeing him as an object of ridicule.
There was also a hint of sympathy and sorrow in their eyes!
They were laughing at him! They wanted to see him being vanquished!
He looked at the agreement in front of him and suddenly felt he was holding onto his own death certificate!
Goosebumps sprang onto his skin in an He finally understood why Bernard did not want to go through the third agenda.
Once he signed this agreement, he would practically end his own life!
Bernard wanted to give the Zhao family a way out!
However, Lincon had messed it all up!
It was him who forced Bernard to proceed on with the third agenda!
It meant that he was the one who cut off the only way for the Zhão family to survive this battle!
At this very moment, dismay and despair engulfed him.
He slapped himself hard several times and then slumped to the ground, looking all dejected.
There was no way to save the Zhao family now.
The pharmaceutical companies who had received the proposal exchanged glances but did not dare to put their signatures.
This was because the proposer, which was he Zhao family, was going to perish, Then, who should be the one to lead Golden City into the next stage?
A phrase sprang to everyone’s mind….
The Helping Hands Medical Center!
They were the most qualified to lead the pharmaceutical industries in Golden City!
The Helping Hands Medical Center had so many good qualities though they might look overbearing and aggressive, they were gentle and kind-hearted too. They shared a good amount of wisdom too, proven by their well-planned strategies. All these were deeply engraved in everyone’s heart.
Who else in Golden City could be more influential and appealing than the Helping Hands Medical Center?
“I suggest that the Helping Hands Medical Center should take over the Zhao family and be the proposer!” someone immediately said.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not accept this agreement.
Only those who were genuine would be able to lead them onto the right path.
All of a sudden, everyone chanted loudly to make the Helping Hands Medical Center to be the proposer of the agreement.
A thought flashed across Chloe’s mind at this moment. She immediately turned to look at Chase.
After looking into each other’s eyes, Chloe could see a layer of frost covering her entire heart.
It was the first time Chase gave her an. apologetic look.
Everything he did earlier was impartial and just.
But, Chloe could tell he was trying to gain something for himself! For her!
What was he going to do?!
Just as Chloe was shocked, Bernard, who was on the stage, glared at Chase and said loudly, “I nominate Bella to be the proposer!”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
