Chapter 2 : The Song Corporation

• "Why are you all standing there dumbly?"
• "Do you have to wait for me to speak before you show up?"
• Ning Feng looked towards the alley, where a group of men in black uniforms quickly emerged.
• The workers from the demolition team panicked.
• Captain Li looked at the group of people and stumbled back two steps.
• "I'm telling you, this land belongs to the Song Corporation!"
• "If you dare to touch me, you will be offending the Song Corporation!"
• Ning Feng sneered, "The Song Corporation? Alright, today I will go to the Song Corporation and see who gave them the audacity to come and demolish the South City Orphanage!"
• "As for all of you!"
• "In three minutes, I don't want anyone standing here!"
• Ning Feng held An Ran in his arms, turned around, and lit a cigarette.
• Behind him, the screams continued without end. After finishing the cigarette, more than ten workers from the demolition team fell to the ground, not a single piece of good flesh left on their bodies.
• "Ning..."
• The leader in the black uniform was about to call General Ning, but was silenced by Ning Feng's gaze and quickly changed his words.
• "Mr. Ning, we will hand these people over to the Pingchuan City authorities. As for these excavators?"
• Ning Feng turned his gaze to the row of excavators.
• "These are good things, just take them to the scrapyard. Selling scrap metal can still fetch some money."
• After Ning Feng finished speaking, several men got on the excavators and drove out of the alley of the South City Orphanage.
• "Wu Jie, it's settled."
• Patting An Ran's buttocks, she turned around somewhat shyly.
• "Xiao Ning Feng, it's been ten years and you've become quite mischievous!"
• Ning Feng smiled and leaned in close to An Ran, "I didn't expect that after ten years, Sister Wu, you would become a journalist."
• An Ran took the camera from Ning Feng's hand.
• "To be a journalist has always been my dream, especially to expose illegal enterprises like the Song Corporation. It is my duty!"
• Ning Feng was taken aback, "Why does the Song Corporation have to forcefully demolish the orphanage?"
• An Ran furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with complexity. Before she could speak, Lin Jinghe, who was standing beside them, let out a long sigh.
• "It's all because of the World Trade Center project. Last year, Nanjiang Group announced an investment of 30 billion yuan to build the World Trade Center. Although our orphanage is remote, it happens to be located around the World Trade Center. Once the World Trade Center is built, the land prices will inevitably rise!"
• "The Song Corporation set their sights on our South City Orphanage..."
• As Lin Jinghe spoke, tears streamed down his face. If the Song Corporation had offered a good price, he would have accepted it, but they only gave 100,000 yuan for the four courtyards. Even if he shouted until his voice was hoarse, he still wouldn't be able to provide for the twenty-plus children in the orphanage.
• An Ran quickly supported Lin Jinghe.
• "Uncle Lin, please don't cry. I recorded the scene of the forced demolition just now, and when I go back today, I will make sure the Song Corporation is exposed in the newspaper!"
• "I won't let the Song Corporation off the hook!"
• An Ran clenched her fist, determination filling her pretty face.
• "Xiao Feng, Sister Wu can't accompany you today. I have to go back to the TV station. Give me your phone number, and I'll inform my older sister. She is also in Pingchuan City and doesn't know that you're back."
• An Ran hurriedly asked Ning Feng for his phone number and got into her car with the camera.
• "Elder sister?"
• Ning Feng couldn't help but recall his charming older sister, Ye Jinqiu. It had been many years since they last met, and he imagined that his older sister must have become even more beautiful.
• Lin Jinghe smiled, "Xiao Feng, among these children, your older sister is the most successful. She is now the CEO of Wanning Group. This orphanage has been able to survive for so long because of the money she secretly donated. These children think I don't know."
• Lin Jinghe sighed again and was about to continue telling Ning Feng about Ye Jinqiu when his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
• He took out his phone and glanced at it.
• "Oh, it's Lin Yuan calling."
• Ning Feng remembered that Lin Yuan was Lin Jinghe's eldest son. In terms of age, he should be around the same age as Ye Jinqiu. Because of the orphanage, Lin Jinghe and his wife had always been at odds. After their divorce, Lin Yuan was given to Lin Jinghe's wife.
• "Dad, Dad, save me, save me!"
• The call connected, and Lin Yuan's heart-wrenching cries came through the phone.
• Lin Jinghe's heart tightened.
• "Lin Yuan, where are you?"
• The voice on the other end of the phone changed, and Lin Yuan's voice could no longer be heard.
• "Old man, your son owes our casino 100,000 yuan. If you want him back, sign the demolition agreement and bring the money to redeem your son!"
• "I'll only give you two hours. After two hours, I'll chop off one of your son's fingers every ten minutes!"
• The call ended, and Lin Jinghe collapsed to the ground.
• In his fifties, he only had Lin Yuan as his son.
• Although father and son were at odds, blood was thicker than water.
• "Xiao Feng, Lin Yuan has been kidnapped..."
• Lin Jinghe looked at Ning Feng, his eyes gradually losing their luster. In his entire life, for the South City Orphanage, his wife left him and his son was taken away. Now, in his old age, did he have to let his son become disabled?
• "Sign it, I'll sign..."
• Lin Jinghe completely broke down and struggled to get up.
• "Xiao Feng, take me to the Song Corporation. I'll sign the demolition agreement."
• Ning Feng supported Lin Jinghe, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his deep eyes. The Song Corporation had gone too far!
• "Uncle Lin, you wait at the orphanage. I'll go to the Song Corporation!"
• "I promise to bring Lin Yuan back safe and sound."
• Lin Jinghe shook his head and tears continued to flow uncontrollably. "Xiao Feng, help me to the Song Corporation. Once I sign it, they can demolish the South City Orphanage, and everything will be fine. You can't fight against them!"
• "Uncle Lin, you can see that I'm not an ordinary person now, but you underestimate the power of the Song Corporation. If we can really save the orphanage, why would I be forced to this point? Listen to me, tear it down..."
• Lin Jinghe held Ning Feng's hand.
• Ning Feng looked at Lin Jinghe. In his eyes, this man was no less than his father, who had given him a second chance at life. If it weren't for Lin Jinghe taking him in after the annihilation of the Ning family, he would have died on the streets long ago. How could he have what he had today?
• "Uncle Lin, just trust me this once. I promise to bring Lin Yuan back to you."
• Lin Jinghe wavered.
• "Then Xiao Feng, you must be careful."
• Ning Feng nodded and turned to leave the orphanage.
• ...
• Song Corporation.
• Downstairs.
• Ning Feng looked through the information that the Intelligence Department had just sent to his phone. He was already well-informed about the entire situation of the Song Corporation.
• The chairman of the Song Corporation, Song Hui, made his fortune on the battlefield in his early years and later entered the real estate industry. Over the years, he had amassed a fortune through forced demolitions.
• Today, the market value of the Song Corporation had exceeded one billion yuan, and Song Hui had successfully whitewashed his reputation.
• The demolition business was now carried out by subsidiary companies, which had no apparent financial relationship with the Song Corporation. However, anyone with eyes could see that Song Hui was not willing to let go of this piece of meat.
• For so many years, the Song Corporation had stood strong, and there must be more than just Song Hui behind it.
• Ning Feng entered the Song Corporation and stood in the lobby, where four or five security guards approached him.
• "The Song Corporation does not allow entry without an appointment!"
• Ning Feng sneered, "I don't need to go in. Tell Song Hui to come out!"
