Chapter 126 Why Should I Stand Up for Them

Bai Xi looked at the man before her and raised an eyebrow slightly, "You are... Han Fang?"

Han Fang was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting the girl in front of him to call out his name directly. But he quickly regained his composure, his amiable smile still in place, "That's right, I am Han Fang. Grandpa has now handed over Han Rui's industries to me to manage, so you can rest assured, our Han family will definitely be responsible for this matter to the end."

Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "Oh, is that so? Then how do you plan to be responsible?"

Han Fang hadn't expected Bai Xi to ask so directly. He had merely intended to speak some pleasantries, thinking to stall Bai Xi and let her leave first. But since Bai Xi had already asked, if he didn't answer, wouldn't that indicate his lack of capability and shame him and the entire Han family, as well as his grandfather?

"May I ask, Miss, what kind of harm has your family suffered?"

This batch of antidepressants was his doing. Not only did they fail to alleviate depression after consumption, but they also worsened the patients' conditions, even causing them to have emotional breakdowns, resort to self-harm, and develop stronger suicidal thoughts.

The intelligence he had been gathering these past few days was all about this matter. There had already been many casualties. He just didn't know which victim this seemingly capable woman was representing.

Bai Xi remained silent, merely looking at him indifferently.

Han Fang felt uneasy under her gaze. What did this woman mean? She wouldn't say anything about the situation, and her stare was… making him extremely uncomfortable.

But the entire Han family and his grandfather were watching him now.

"Miss, what I said just now is not mere child's play. I can give you my promise right now. If your family members were injured by our Han family's antidepressants, I am willing to compensate for medical expenses and nutritional fees.

If your family members were disabled by our Han family's antidepressants, then in addition to medical and nutritional fees, we will also compensate your family with a monthly living guarantee fee.

If your family members died because of our family's medication, we will compensate with funeral expenses and one million. What do you say?"

For anyone else, he would absolutely not have offered such terms. But this woman clearly had some backing. If he didn't show the utmost sincerity, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of her.

Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "That's acceptable."

As soon as she said this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. With this woman bringing so many people here, they were naturally afraid. However, if it could be resolved with money now, it was no longer a big problem.

It had to be said, Han Fang did possess some courage and presence.

Han Fang himself also breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile, he gestured for Bai Xi to leave, "Since you know me, Miss, you must also know my position in the Han family. Today, I have given you my promise in front of so many Han family elders, and I will absolutely not go back on my word. If you have nothing else, please leave first. We still have internal family matters to attend to."

Although his words were polite, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, making his intention to dismiss her obvious.

This woman had come with such momentum, but it turned out she was just like this, easily dismissed with money. Therefore… there was nothing in this world that couldn't be settled with money.

He was determined to strive for the position of family head. Only then could he obtain all the assets of the Han family.

Bai Xi glanced at him indifferently, slightly raised her hand, and a man in black tight-fitting attire walked forward, handing Bai Xi a file bag. She opened it directly, took out the documents inside, and tossed them into the air.

Countless file folders, interspersed with photos of victims, their current conditions, and family information, were all in the files, making it clear to all the Han family members present.

Bai Xi stood amidst the slowly falling files and said casually, "Just as you said, compensate all of them."

Before Bai Xi arrived, Xuan Feng had already informed her about the Han family.

The Han family was a family specializing in the research and sales of elite pharmaceuticals. The Han family head's most perfect heir was Han Rui. This time, Han Rui had developed a new type of antidepressant, which was advertised as having better efficacy than previous antidepressants, lower side effects, and half the price.

This was indeed great news for ordinary patients.

However, seven days after the drugs went on sale, various casualties occurred. Investigations revealed that the drugs sold were half genuine and half fake. A batch of antidepressants had serious quality issues, with their main ingredients replaced by completely opposite materials.

The pharmaceutical company's people unanimously claimed that Han Rui had done this intentionally, wanting to use clients as experimental subjects for pharmaceutical research and to conduct drug experiments on their bodies through this sale, which led to the current outcome.

The security bureau in Shangyang City, fearing the Han family, forcibly suppressed the matter. However, for the sake of public opinion, they demanded that the Han family provide an explanation and compensation. When she arrived today, this scene was likely unfolding within the Han family.

However… while the Han family's medication indeed had problems, according to the most precise investigation by the dark division, she had already clarified the entire sequence of events.

Han Fang was stunned by this pile of files.

He intended to compensate not everyone, but only this capable woman who had managed to find her way to him. As for the rest, why should he compensate them? These people were like ants; if they died, they died.

A cold glint in his eyes, he said, "Miss, what are you doing? Are you extorting our Han family? Are these people your family? What is your relation to them? Why are you standing here to speak for them?"

Compensating this woman was a small matter, merely to appease her and to appear responsible and committed in front of everyone.

But this woman had actually laid out the files of all the victims before him, even more than he knew previously. If he had to compensate all of them, the loss to the Han family would be too great.

With Han Rui gone, the Han family would be his sooner or later. Compensating so much to the Han family was equivalent to taking so much from his own pocket. He absolutely would not allow it, even if this woman was relying on her current ability to trap the Han family.

Their Han family was not to be trifled with either. They could mobilize Shangyang's official forces to deal with this ungrateful lunatic.

Bai Xi looked at the reneging Han Fang, her gaze sharpening slightly, and said indifferently, "So, you do not intend to keep your word?"

Han Fang sneered, "Miss, I'll give you three points of deference because you are a woman. Do you really think that by surrounding the Han family with so many people today, we will be afraid of you? You underestimate the status of our Han family in Shangyang. I advise you to be wise and tell me who your family members are. I will compensate you. As for the others, our Han family will deal with them one by one..."

The word "deal with" was emphasized, carrying a hint of threat.

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xi shot him a look. Two men in black tight-fitting attire immediately stepped forward, grabbed Han Fang, and held him as if he were a chick.

Han Fang never expected this. Fear surged within him, but his male pride and his dignity in front of the Han family members made him grit his teeth, his face contorted with ferocity, "You lunatic woman, do you know what you are doing? If you dare to harm me today, you will not live to leave this place..."
