The documents in Sun Yazhu’s hand were: Jia Ying Entertainment’s termination agreement with tenfold compensation, requiring Jia Ying to pay Ye Tong a 50 million breach of contract penalty; a 2% equity transfer agreement of Jia Ying Entertainment; a transfer deed of a standalone villa in the Inner City of Beijing valued at 80 million; a purchase agreement for a three-bedroom in Mingfu Garden of Anhe City valued at 5 million; a purchase agreement for a sedan valued at 3 million; and a VIP membership card agreement for a hotel under Sun Group.
This compensation and reparation were indeed substantial, leaving Ye Tong stunned.
"These are the compensations from the Sun Family for you, and I will personally offer you an endorsement contract. We invite you to endorse our Sun Family’s brand."
Sun Yazhu spoke generously and brightly, making Feng Yu a bit tempted, wishing he could switch places with Ye Tong.
Ye Tong shook her head slightly, "No need... so much... just terminate the... artist contract..."
Sun Yazhu felt more guilty, she truly couldn’t understand why Uncle Cheng would act so harshly towards Ye Tong.
"This is the Sun Family’s compensation for you. Once you accept it, the Sun Family can feel at ease."
"Besides the normal breach of contract penalties, the Sun Family also needs to cover all of Ye Tong’s medical expenses, and compensate her for her lost wages and 500,000 for emotional distress, as well as the relevant losses to the crew. You should communicate with the person in charge of the crew for this. As for the other compensations, they are unnecessary. However, the Sun Family must send the person to jail."
Suddenly Ji Ning, who had been standing by the window silently, spoke.
Sun Yazhu turned around to look, Ji Ning had already turned and was leaning against the window looking at her. Her expression was indifferent, and her gaze was uncomfortably distant.
"But..."
"If you comply, I will let him wake up."
Sun Yazhu clenched the laptop bag in her hand tightly, slightly nodded, "Alright, as long as he regains consciousness, we’ll immediately send him to the police to surrender."
Subsequently, Sun Liguo was also sent to this private hospital.
Sun Chengen was standing, forcefully holding himself up, outside the operating room waiting.
Accompanying Ji Ning to retrieve the needle was also Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu originally thought he would witness an exquisite needle retrieval surgery, but Ji Ning merely joined her fingers together and touched Sun Liguo’s brow, and it was over.
"You... finished?" Ye Zhiqiu asked in surprise.
Ji Ning gave him a glance, responded with a simple "Mm."
"Where’s the needle?"
"It broke."
"Broke... it broke?" Ye Zhiqiu found it hard to follow Ji Ning’s thoughts, but the chief surgeon’s hurried voice brought his attention back.
"Quick, the foreign object in the patient’s brain has been removed, there’s bleeding inside the skull, perform a craniotomy immediately..."
Ji Ning didn’t concern herself with the subsequent events. She was only responsible for retrieving the needle; as for the treatment after needle removal, with so many doctors and nurses present, it was none of her business.
Ji Ning didn’t even watch the surgery that followed and directly left the operating room.
Seeing her walk out of the operating room alone, Sun Chengen was very surprised and anxiously asked, "How is my son? Why are you the only one coming out? Where’s my son?"
"He’s under emergency care."
"You..."
Sun Chengen finally couldn’t withstand it, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
The Sun Family was in complete chaos. When Sun Chengen woke up on the hospital bed, his mouth was somewhat crooked, and he could barely make out murmured words, "Lao San... Lao San..."
Uncle Cheng clutched his trembling hand, softly reassuring him, "Family Head, don’t worry, Third Young Master is out of danger. Your health is important..."
Even though Sun Chengen was already 73 years old, he had taken very good care of his health, making his body robust and healthy compared to his peers.
But the events of the past two days had caused his blood pressure to skyrocket abruptly, showing signs of a stroke.
Next to him, Sun Yazhu approached, adding calmly, "Uncle is currently in the ward, the silver needle has been removed from his brain. He will wake up in few days. Grandpa, Ji Ning demands that once Uncle regains consciousness, he must be sent to the police to surrender. I will follow this matter through, so you don’t have to worry!"
"You... you..." Sun Chengen’s body shook more severely, but with his mouth askew, he couldn’t speak clearly.
Sun Yazhu assumed his agreement, "Grandpa, take care in your convalescence. I will handle the company issues, and I won’t let the Sun Family fall."
As Sun Chengen’s eyes rolled back, fainting again, Uncle Cheng gave Sun Yazhu a disapproving look, "Miss, acting like this might cool the Family Head’s heart. Although Third Young Master was wrong in this matter, he has always cherished you. Don’t you want to know why he treated Miss Ye that way?"
Sun Yazhu tightened her grip on the bag in her hand, maintaining her expression as she looked at Uncle Cheng, "Uncle Cheng, Grandpa is old and tends to get confused sometimes, please take good care of him. As for Uncle, no matter his reasons, he harmed my lifesaver, so once he regains consciousness, I will personally take him to the police to surrender."
Uncle Cheng wanted to say more, but Sun Yazhu didn’t give him the chance, "Uncle Cheng, it’s time for the Sun Family to restrain themselves."
Being as quick-witted as Uncle Cheng, he immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Sun Yazhu’s words.
Over the years, the Sun Family had expanded too rapidly by leveraging their alliance with the Ye Family, thus inevitably stepping on the toes of other factions. With the Ye Family’s presence, naturally, nobody dared to provoke the Sun Family.
But what about the Fu Family and the Li Family, both top families like the Ye Family?
They also had in-laws and forces relying on them.
If the Sun Family continued expanding, it would inevitably infringe upon the interests of these two families.
For reputation’s sake, the Fu and Li families wouldn’t stand idly by. Should they make a move, it would disrupt the three-way equilibrium in Hua Continent maintained for over a century.
The authorities up top naturally wouldn’t want anyone to upset this balance.
Hence, before matters further escalated, someone would inevitably act early to quell the budding situation.
If not the Ye Family themselves, then it would be one of the other two families.
Rather than awaiting their warning, it would be better for the Sun Family to restrain their power proactively.
This time, Ji Ning made Sun Liguo a vegetative state. The Ye Family investigated Ji Ning’s identity, and undoubtedly, those two families already knew about this but still didn’t intervene to stop Ji Ning. Even Ye Zhiqiu didn’t stand up for his grandfather against the Li Family.
This implies that the three families had already reached a consensus, to nip the Sun Family’s expansion in the bud.
Even without Ye Tong’s incident, there would have been other causes to disgrace the Sun Family, like her previous near-kidnapping incident.
This conclusion was what Sun Yazhu reached after pondering the whole night.
And perhaps, the kidnapping incident wasn’t just a coincidence...
What the Sun Family speculated about wasn’t part of Ji Ning’s concerns.
At this moment, she received a message from the Security Bureau, notifying her to pick up items from the Hai City Security Bureau.
At first, Ji Ning didn’t take the notification seriously until the next day, when two security agents clad in black uniforms and wearing masks appeared at the door of the ward.
The two were very polite to Ji Ning, even bringing a basket of fruits as a gift for Ye Tong, who was recuperating.
Having encountered such getups before, Ye Tong wasn’t flattered. Instead, she felt a twinge of apprehension for Ji Ning.
Ji Ning furrowed her brows slightly, glanced at the two, and then stepped out of the ward.
"Let’s talk outside."
