chapter 11 You bastard, who did you offend?

At this moment, Willy Liu was in his father, Van Liu's office, flirting with a beautiful female secretary.
This morning, Willy Liu had asked Manager Zhang of his family's corporation to inform Dinah Yang's father, Roy Yang, that the Liu Corporation would no longer supply drugs to the Yang family's small hospital.
Furthermore, Willy Liu also contacted several other drug suppliers and asked them not to sell medicine to the Yang family.
The Yang family must be panicking right now.
Dinah Yang would surely come to plead with him.
When that time came, with a mix of persuasion and force, he was sure he could make Dinah Yang to be his woman.
While daydreaming, Willy Liu's phone suddenly rang.
It's a call from Van Liu. Willy Liu hurriedly sent the secretary away to answer it.
"Dad, what's up?"
Van Liu's enraged voice burst out from the phone, "Willy Liu, you ungrateful son! Did you offend Wesley Meng, the young master of the Meng family in Changyang City?"
"How could I? I've never even met Wesley Meng!" Willy Liu said defensively.
Van Liu yelled back, "The Meng Corporation has suddenly halted all collaboration with our Liu Corporation. And, Wesley Meng mentioned your name. He said you were disrespectful! The Meng family will never do business with someone like that!"
"Why would he say I am disrespectful?"
Willy Liu shouted back, "I really haven't met him!"
"You better think hard about who you've recently upset. Whoever it is, they must be closely related to Wesley Meng."
The phone line went dead after Van Liu spoke.
Willy Liu threw his phone aside and got lost in thought.
Apart from Stanley Du and the Yang family, he really couldn't think of anyone he had offended recently.
Stanley Du was just a lowly doctor.
The Yangs, a family of three, only have a modest living and run a small community hospital.
How could these ordinary people have a close relationship with Wesley Meng, the rich young master of the Meng family?
A few hours later, Van Liu returned home and saw Willy Liu.
Without a word, Van Liu immediately took off his belt and harshly beat Willy Liu.
"You good-for-nothing! Who did you offend?"
"Do you realize people are selling off shares in our Liu Corporation? Our stock prices have plummeted, and our assets have shrunk!"
"All the banks are refusing loans to our family. All our partners have terminated contracts with us! No one wants to do business with us. We're on the verge of bankruptcy!"
As Van Liu furiously beat his son, he vented his fear.
At first, Willy Liu didn't want to confess.
But as Van Liu's blows grew harder, Willy Liu couldn't take the pain anymore.
And if Van Liu goes bankrupt, Willy Liu would also end up penniless!
This was the worst outcome he could imagine.
Finally, he confessed, "Dad, I really haven't offended Wesley Meng. I just had Manager Zhang cut off the medicine supply to the Yang family's hospital."
"Roy Yang?"
"Yes, that's him."
"He's a long-time client of our Liu Corporation. Why did you mess with him?"
"Because I like his daughter, Dinah Yang. But he let a poor nobody become her fiancé."
After pausing for a moment, Willy Liu detailed his issues with Stanley Du to Van Liu.
"This Stanley Du has an antique watch worth five to six million?"
Van Liu pondered, "It seems his background is not so simple."
"That's impossible!"
Willy Liu scoffed, "Stanley Du is just a nobody. That antique watch is the only valuable thing left to him by his grandfather. There's no way he knows someone as wealthy as Wesley Meng."
"So why is Wesley Meng targeting our family? Is he trying to get revenge for the Yang family?" Van Liu was puzzled.
"Damn, I never expected Roy Yang and his wife to be close with Wesley Meng."
Willy Liu said angrily, "They've hidden it so well."
"Enough with the talk. Prepare a generous gift," Van Liu instructed his son. "We'll go together to apologize to the Yang family. When we see them, show genuine remorse. If necessary, we might have to put on an act to win their sympathy."
…
Half an hour later, the Liu family's father and son, carrying a generous gift, rushed to the Greenview Community Hospital.
"Chairman Liu, Young Master Liu, what's this all about?"
"Brother Yang, we've come to apologize to you."
"Apologize?"
Roy Yang was dumbfounded.
Elen Zeng was stunned.
Dinah Yang was equally shocked.
Before Van Liu mentioned the word 'apologize,' the three members of the Yang family assumed that Van Liu and Willy Liu had come to flaunt their power and control.
After all, the Liu Corporation had already stopped the drug supply to Yang's hospital.
The economic lifeline of the Yang family was firmly in the grasp of the Liu family.
If the Liu Corporation refused to supply drugs to the Yang family's hospital for long, the Yang family wouldn't last and would go bankrupt.
But to their surprise, the Liu family had come to apologize!
This left the Yang family quite puzzled.
Only Stanley Du, who was watching from the sidelines, seemed to have a clear grasp of the situation.
From the moment the Liu family appeared, Stanley Du had an inkling of their intentions.
He thought to himself that there would be a good show ahead.
His wife, as well as his parents-in-law, would be in for a continuous stream of surprises.
"You little rascal, kneel down and apologize to your Uncle Yang right now!" Van Liu turned and shouted at Willy Liu.
Without hesitation, Willy Liu's knees buckled, and he knelt before Roy Yang, "Uncle Yang, I realize my mistake. You can hit or scold me if it can make you feel better. I deserve it."
He knelt so readily that the onlookers were completely taken aback.
Roy Yang's family was also astonished and didn't know how to react.
Who is Willy Liu? He's the only son of Van Liu, who has a net worth of seven to eight hundred million.
On the other hand, Roy Yang's worth is less than ten million.
The Yang family runs a small hospital, while the Liu family owns several large pharmaceutical factories.
Yang's small hospital would soon face bankruptcy if the Liu Corporation continued withholding drugs.
By all accounts, since the Liu family had the economic upper hand, the Yang family should be the ones pleading.
But now, the tables were completely turned, with Willy Liu actually kneeling down to apologize!
"What on earth could have caused the usually arrogant Willy Liu to kneel and apologize to me?" Roy Yang thought.
Roy Yang couldn't figure it out, but his voice was shaky, "Young Master Liu, please get up. I can't bear to see you kneel to me."
As Willy Liu was about to stand up, Van Liu shot him a stern look.
Feeling the weight of that gaze, Willy Liu didn't dare to stand. Instead, he continued to kneel, trying his best to appease the situation.
