Chapter 3354: That Family Still Won’t Give In
Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Yuan could tell they did not want him to be involved in this. He didn’t know what they were thinking, but he seemed to have compromised and lowered his voice. “I understand.”
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen heaved a sigh of relief. They relaxed and put aside their worries.
Aunt Chen pulled Chen Yuan to the chair and they asked him about the school as they ate breakfast.

At this moment, in the only five-star hotel in Rao City.
Mr. Zhou had been waiting for news. The assistant who went outside to ask about the situation finally knocked on his door.
Mr. Zhou stood up. “Come in.”
The assistant came in and greeted, “President Zhou.”
Mr. Zhou nodded reluctantly and then immediately asked, “How was it? Did that family give in?”
“No.”
The assistant shook his head with a serious expression. “After she arrived at the hospital yesterday, she paid the money demanded of her. Besides explaining to the family that there was nothing wrong with her hygiene, she didn’t say anything else. The family hinted to her according to your instructions, but she didn’t seem to understand.”
“That shouldn’t be the case!” Mr. Zhou paced the room frustratedly. Then, he returned to the assistant and stared at him. “Do you think she really doesn’t understand or is she pretending not to understand?”
The assistant’s hair stood on end under his gaze. He quickly lowered his head and stammered, “This… I’m not sure either.”
Mr. Zhou wasn’t satisfied with his answer.
The assistant was smart and said, “But most people upon encountering these matters one after another would think of what you said to them.”
Mr. Zhou glanced at him and said slowly, “So you also think she’s pretending to be confused.”
This time, the assistant was smart enough to remain silent.
Silence was the best answer.
Mr. Zhou’s mood became even heavier. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand. “I originally thought we could start from Rao City. Zhou Zheng can still be saved. It looks like this family is also a tough nut to crack! Fortunately, they don’t have any family background. It’s easy to control such people. They won’t be like those in Beijing whom we can’t find a way to deal with!”
He had tried to get close to those in Beijing, but it was a pity that everyone who could establish themselves in Beijing had some background. Their connections were complicated.
As an outsider, he couldn’t touch anyone.
However, the Chen family in Rao City was different.
They were just ordinary people.
Besides having a university student, their jobs were ordinary and they didn’t know any big shots. It was too easy to handle such an ordinary person.
He could make them beg with just a raise of his hand!
At this thought, Mr. Zhou’s gaze became sinister. He instructed his assistant, “Go and find a few people to scare them.”
He carefully explained to his assistant how to “scare” the Chen family.
The assistant went to do it as soon as he received the order.

Noon.
Aunt Chen watched Chen Yuan get into the taxi.
Before the taxi set off, she especially stuffed money into the driver’s hands and instructed him to send him to the airport ‘safely’.
Although the driver was confused, he still accepted the money and agreed to her request.
The taxi left the Chen family home and went onto the viaduct.
In the car.
Chen Yuan said to the driver through the rearview mirror, “Sir, wait for me outside when we reach the airport later. I’ll go in and come back out after a while. I want you to send me somewhere.”
“Uh.” The driver had never seen such a strange request in his more than 10 years of working as a taxi driver. As he drove steadily, he stole a glance at him and said, “Aren’t you going to catch a plane? Didn’t your mother tell you to go back to school early?”
