Chapter 133 Coercion and Bribery!
Ma's Clinic is located on the east side of the shantytown, not far from Liu Shiyuan's home.
Liu Shiyuan stormed into the clinic and went straight to Doctor Ma, saying directly: "Uncle Ma, my dad's medicine is out, I need to get medicine for him!"
Doctor Ma seemed surprised to see Liu Shiyuan today, his face changing color: "Shiyan, I told your mom, that medicine is no longer sold here, you might want to try elsewhere?"
"Uncle Ma, is it that you stopped selling that medicine, or are you just not selling it to my family?" Liu Shiyuan argued persuasively, "I want to know, why is this, is it because our family paid too little? Or did my parents offend you somehow? Otherwise, we've been buying from you for years, why did you suddenly stop selling it?"
"Shiyan, don't say it like that, doctors are compassionate, I'm not that petty, it's just--" Doctor Ma hesitated, looking at Liu Shiyuan with a pained expression, but he had his difficulties.
"Just what?" Liu Shiyuan demanded angrily.
"Shiyan, you grew up under Uncle Ma's watch, we've been in this shantytown for so many years, familiar with each other, your parents are truly good people, never offending others, always being kind, and since your dad fell ill, I've genuinely wanted to help them." Doctor Ma sighed bitterly, "So, you can't wrong Uncle Ma!"
"Then why is this happening?" Liu Shiyuan asked, puzzled.
"Shiyan, be honest with Uncle Ma, have you offended someone outside?" Doctor Ma looked straight at Liu Shiyuan and asked.
Liu Shiyuan was startled by the question, and instinctively shook her head, "No, I haven't!"
Then, as if thinking of something, she asked again, "Uncle Ma, are you saying that someone has refused to sell my parents the medicine because of me?"
"Yes!" Doctor Ma confessed: "Someone has notified all the pharmacies in this area not to sell to your family, or else they'll cause us trouble, so... we have no choice, these small clinics can't afford to provoke such people."
"Who is it?" Liu Shiyuan was filled with anger upon hearing this!
Could such a thing really happen? But she really couldn't recall offending anyone!
"I can't say who it is, I can only tell you that the background of this person is extremely significant, beyond your imagination, and with just one word, they can make it impossible for us to survive." Doctor Ma said with deep fear.
"Then I'll report to the authorities, I don't believe they can cover the sky with one hand!" Liu Shiyuan snapped in anger.
"Absolutely not!" Doctor Ma was startled and quickly stopped her, "Shiyan, if you report, it would mean you're selling me out, wouldn't it? I'm kindly telling you this, you can't set me up, you absolutely cannot report this!"
Realizing that he might have said too much, Doctor Ma became both panicked and frustrated, and simply pushed Liu Shiyuan out of the clinic, urging her to leave quickly.
Liu Shiyuan walked home alone, feeling both angry and wronged, unable to face her parents.
Who? Who could it be? Why would anyone cut off our lifeline?
If someone was truly being difficult about her father's illness because of her, she would blame herself immensely!
Just as she walked alone, a silver BMW I8 suddenly drove up from behind, slowly approaching Liu Shiyuan.
Instinctively, Liu Shiyuan turned her head to see the BMW I8 stopping, then the car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face, speaking directly at Liu Shiyuan: "Get in!"
Recognizing the person, Liu Shiyuan suddenly remembered that he was one of the arrogant young men at the Beach Bathing Place, hanging out with Zhou Zikun and that Han Lengxuan, with the last name Pan!
Instantly, Liu Shiyuan glared at him warily, without any intention of getting in the car.
"If you don't want your dad to die, get in quickly, I don't have much patience!" The person inside, Pan Sheng, said with shocking audacity and confidence!
Liu Shiyuan stood in shock, frozen on the spot!
Could it really be him behind this?! She couldn't believe it!
Pan Sheng smiled, with an expression of confidence, and opened the passenger door, waiting for Liu Shiyuan to enter the lion's den.
In fact, since seeing Liu Shiyuan at the Beach Bathing Place that day, Pan Sheng had his eyes on her. As he said back then, Liu Shiyuan's purity was ingrained in her bones, much better than the young models or internet celebrities he used to play with, or even young celebrities.
After that day, Pan Sheng specifically looked into Liu Shiyuan's background, confirming that she had no significant ties with Chu Feifei or Nangong Qingcheng, just close classmates, and that she was merely a girl from an ordinary family with a father suffering from a terminal illness.
Moreover, Liu Shiyuan had no personal connection with Jiang Feng, who was in the spotlight at the time. Jiang Feng, as a security guard for a small packaging company, mainly protected Nangong Qingcheng, whom Han Lengxuan admired, with little relation to Liu Shiyuan.
Knowing these details, Pan Sheng felt reassured and decided to use some means to make Liu Shiyuan succumb and become his woman.
Liu Shiyuan hesitated, her mind in intense conflict, but eventually, she gritted her teeth, walked over to the passenger side, got in the car, sat in the passenger seat, and turned to ask Pan Sheng: "Was it you who told Uncle Ma and the others not to sell my dad the medicine?"
"You could say that. Pan's Compound α-Ketone Acid Capsule is produced by my family; I decide who the clinics can sell it to. If I don't want them to sell it, they wouldn't dare to sell it recklessly." Pan Sheng closed the car door, admiring Liu Shiyuan's graceful and exquisite figure up close, and smiled, satisfied by her natural scent.
Liu Shiyuan now remembered that among the top ten wealthy families in Binhai City, the Pan Family was indeed known for their pharmaceutical business, and Pan's Compound α-Ketone Acid Capsule happened to be produced by them?
"How can you do this? We didn't offend you, you're trying to kill my dad!" Liu Shiyuan asked in anger.
"That's not going to happen. I spoke to Mr. Ma, and your dad has enough medicine for one more dose today. I also know you don't have many classes today, so you would definitely come back." Pan Sheng, even more confident, smiled.
"Why are you doing this?" Liu Shiyuan asked angrily.
"It's simple, I fancy you, so I decided to give you a chance to turn from a sparrow into a phoenix, to be my girlfriend." Pan Sheng smiled with confidence, "As long as you agree, not only will your dad have these few medicines, but I'll also take care of all his future medications, as much as needed!"
"How can you do this?" Although Liu Shiyuan already guessed his ill intentions, hearing Pan Sheng say it so bluntly still filled her with righteous indignation!
Isn't he just threatening and luring her, holding her by her lifeline, forcing her to comply?
