Chapter 175: Chapter 135: If You Make a Mistake, Admit It; When You’re Beaten, Stand at Attention

KNOCK KNOCK~

The door to the hospital room opened, and Yin Zheng’s head peeked in.

Seeing the Su father and son talking, he called out softly, "Su Chen, come out for a second. I need to talk to you about something."

Su Chen’s eyes shifted. After a quick word with Su Zhuyun, he got up and walked outside.

In the stairwell.

Su Chen took a Chunghwa cigarette from Yin Zheng, lit it for himself, and took a deep drag before asking, "Did you find out what happened?"

"Yeah, I did," Yin Zheng said with a nod.

He organized the information he’d gathered in his mind before slowly explaining.

It turned out the three men were from a foreign trade company in a coastal city. They had been sent to Wudu to research the newly launched "Yuxinou" international railway project.

This project represented a major shift in the import-export trade.

You see, the import-export trade used to rely entirely on shipping by sea. Although sea freight was much cheaper, it was incredibly time-consuming...

A typical shipment took one or two months. Not only was it a waste of time, but it also severely limited profits. And if a shipment was seized for inspection by local authorities, it was a major disaster for the trading company.

But now, with the rapid development of the Belt and Road Initiative, the country’s first China-Europe railway line had naturally become a hot commodity for many domestic trading companies.

Transporting goods directly to Europe by train, a journey that originally took months, could now be completed in just a few days. Not only did this save a massive amount of time, but the shipping costs were also much lower. This made the coastal trading companies see a golden opportunity!

Su Chen exhaled a puff of smoke, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "What about those men? Are they in custody?"

"Mhm, they’re in custody. The official recommendation is to settle. The other party is willing to pay. Also, the girl who was assaulted has already reached a settlement with them. They paid her around thirty thousand," Yin Zheng said, glancing at Su Chen from time to time, trying to gauge his thoughts.

Hearing this, Su Chen gave a cold sneer. "Hmph, so they have money to throw around. What about my dad?"

"They’re offering compensation for him too. But your cousin also gave them a serious beating, so if this goes further, it won’t be good for him either."

"After all, everyone threw punches. People who know the story understand that your dad and cousin were being good samaritans, but those who don’t would think it was a mutual brawl. The other party sees this and is trying to get away with paying less."

The coldness on Su Chen’s face intensified. He pondered for a moment, and then a vicious look flashed in his eyes. Yin Zheng, who had been watching him closely, caught it and couldn’t help but shudder.

"By the way, what was the name of their trading company again?"
