"You know Old Su..." Song Li was astonished.

This young man actually knew two big shots, and these two big shots were both highly influential and truly at the peak of human achievement!

For a moment, he felt it was unbelievable!

"Hahahaha!" Old Zhao laughed, not expecting Su Yun himself to know about this matter.

"Old Su and I are old partners, who would have thought!" Time seemed to flow in Old Zhao's eyes as he recalled things others couldn't guess.

"Old Zhao... The matter I entrusted to you... look..." Cold sweat broke out on Song Li's forehead.

"Song Li! I know it hasn't been easy for you these past years, secretly and openly using °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° my name to ask for minor, irrelevant favors. I didn't take action, but haven't I subtly warned you several times?"

"But now your audacity is growing!"

"You actually dared to publicly use animal hormones in products meant for human consumption, and in large quantities at that!"

"Now, society is utterly filled with complaints about your products!"

"Countless eyes are watching you, countless people have voluntarily reported you, and countless people have already analyzed your products and reached a conclusion!"

"Instead of considering how to apologize or how to restore your credibility, you come to beg me to suppress this matter? You are thinking far too simply, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you the truth: I personally ordered a thorough investigation into your affairs. You don't need to say anything more," Old Zhao stated.

"What... You personally requested an investigation into me..." Song Li's eyes widened in disbelief!

If Old Zhao truly gave the order, then he was finished!

Not only would he lose all his money and family assets in compensation, but he would also likely end up in prison! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

If that happened, the Song Family would never have a chance to recover... "Old Zhao... I know I was wrong... I know I was wrong..."

"Please don't do this, I beg you..."

"For the sake of our long-standing friendship, please spare me this one time!" Song Li's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground.

"Song Li... I have made mistakes too, and I am repenting for my past errors!"

"Since you've done something wrong, you must bravely bear the consequences!" Old Zhao said mercilessly.

"Why!" Song Li was incomparably furious, his face twisted into a hideous mask!

"Why!"

"Old Zhao, you helped me once before, why won't you help me again? Why is this!"

"No wonder people say those in your position are cold and heartless; now it seems it's true!" Song Li's tone actually contained a hint of sarcasm.

"Grandpa... stop talking... don't provoke Old Master Song..."

"I understand... I understand... I know I was wrong..."

"Old Zhao, I know we shouldn't have competed with President Su Yun this time..."

"We shouldn't have made the same product as him. If we hadn't, this wouldn't have happened today. We know you favor President Su Yun, and we understand that you want to make an example of us to clear a path for him..."

"I beg you not to be too harsh. We will never oppose President Su Yun again... You are a magnanimous person, please spare us this one time..." Song Ming said, seemingly having grasped the underlying reason.

But these seemingly heartfelt words were nothing more than crocodile tears in Old Zhao's eyes.

Seeing that Old Zhao didn't agree, Song Ming immediately shifted his gaze toward Su Yun!

Now, this was the only breakthrough point!

Only by getting Su Yun to plead for him!

Only then could Old Zhao be moved and let him off the hook!

"President Su Yun... It's all my fault for being blind and foolish, it's all my fault for being blind and foolish. I shouldn't have opposed you, I shouldn't have opposed you..."

"If I had known your background earlier, I definitely wouldn't have confronted you head-on..."

"Your relationship with Old Zhao is good. I promise, I will immediately withdraw from this industry. Please, I beg you to put in a good word for me and ask Old Zhao to let us off this time..."

"Will you?" Song Ming was practically kneeling on the ground as he spoke, looking utterly wretched.

"Brother, you don't seem to understand the current situation at all!"

"Nor do you understand why Old Zhao took action."

"The reason Old Zhao ordered a strict investigation into you is not because your interests conflicted with mine, but because your products are harming society!"

"You can look at the people who primarily used your products; not a single one speaks well of them. Instead, countless side effects have appeared!"

"Your products have already caused serious harm to society!"

"This is why you are being strictly investigated!"

"If you had focused on producing good products in the first place, how could this situation have arisen today?"

Su Yun spoke earnestly and sincerely.

But who knew that these words would instantly cause Song Ming to become furious and humiliated!

"You're talking nonsense!"

"That is absolute garbage!"

"Have you used the products we manufactured? We sell these things to ordinary people, to those at the bottom rung of society!"

"They bought it, so what? What does it matter if there are some side effects!"

"Those lowly people, it's enough that they have something to use! Why are they demanding so much? What product doesn't have side effects!"

"They spend so little money; do they really expect to buy high-end, magnificent things with a small amount of cash?"

"Why should they!"

"They are just trashy, low-status people. Why are you speaking up for them!"

"Even if they die, what does that have to do with high-status people like us!" Song Ming shouted fiercely.

"Sigh..."

"There's no saving them..." Su Yun shook his head and said.

If your products hadn't had problems, how could this situation have happened?

"That's enough..."

"Little Su, you won't get anywhere trying to reason with people like this."

"Their hearts have been blinded by greed; no matter what you say, they won't understand."

"Song Li! Your awareness as an Academician is far too low..."

"I will recommend that the research institute strip you of this position."

"Furthermore, tonight, the investigation results will be made public. You are now facing imprisonment and massive compensation!"

"As for the people who helped you get your products approved, I won't let a single one of them go, rest assured..." Having said that, Old Zhao waved his hand, and several people came forward and dragged the pair away!

"Old Zhao... I'm a bastard, I'm a bastard... Please be merciful..." Song Li yelled, his voice fading into the distance...
