Chapter 1151: 1150 Treatment Result
“I thought he would strangle me to death,” Xiao Ting cried.
“You were too brave just now. If you hadn’t bought us some time, I might not have been able to subdue them.”
If Xiao Ting wasn’t here, Tan Rou would probably have beaten them into submission long ago. However, if Tan Rou took the initiative to attack, she would be at a disadvantage.
The four people who had been beaten were all lying on the ground. The man in the cap clapped his hands and walked over. He asked, “Are you okay?”
Tan Rou smiled helplessly. “Didn’t I say that you don’t have to be involved? Why did you follow me?”
The man in the cap took off his cap and mask, revealing a handsome face. “I’m worried about you.”
Tan Rou pretended to be angry. “This is my job. Why are you worried about me?”
Zhuang Liu thought that she had misunderstood. He quickly explained, “I’m not worried that you have someone outside. I’m worried about your safety.”
Tan Rou covered her mouth and laughed. In order to prove that she was also very strong, she crushed the empty glass cup on the table with her bare hands. “How was it? Are you still worried about me now?”
“Alright, alright, alright. I was too much. My Rourou is so powerful. I don’t have to worry about her.” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou smiled at him and said, “Wait for me. I’ll take care of the things here. We’ll go home.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you over there.” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou’s action of pinching the cup did not scare Zhuang Liu. Instead, it scared the few merchant representatives who came to cause trouble. The reason why they dared to use this method was because they thought Tan Rou was just a weak little girl.
If they had known that Tan Rou had the ability to crush glass cups with her bare hands, they would not have dared to threaten her even if they had the guts!
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The few of them kept apologizing.
“It’s our fault. Please forgive us. Please let us off this time.”
Tan Rou picked up the letter of guarantee on the ground and handed it to the representative. She smiled and asked, “Do you still want this letter of guarantee?”
“I don’t want it anymore!” The merchant representative shook his head violently. “You can take it. We don’t want it.”
“Do you still want me to fulfill your request previously?” Tan Rou asked again.
That person hesitated for a moment. “This…”
Tan Rou slammed his head on the ground, shaking his brain. “Do you?”
The merchant representative felt disgusted. He subconsciously covered his head and stammered, “No! No! What are you talking about? I don’t want anything anymore.”
Tan Rou let go of her hand and turned to another person, asking the same question.
After the four of them answered, Tan Rou wiped her hands with a wet tissue. “Alright, since no one has any other requests, let’s settle it according to the previous plan but now I am the one who has a request.”
The merchants were extremely afraid and did not dare to object. “Please speak.”
“I know that you’ve all been working hard and it’s not easy to earn money now. Therefore, from the beginning, I planned to pay you an additional 50% of the penalty for breaching the contract but your actions have angered me. You won’t get a single cent of the 50% penalty. Do you have any objections?” Tan Rou asked coldly.
Those people had ugly expressions on their faces. They had come to threaten Tan Rou, but in the end, not only did they fail to threaten Tan Rou, but they had also lost all the money they could have obtained. They had not obtained any benefits.
Tan Rou didn’t care about their answers. She would never change her mind. If she didn’t want to give them a chance, tonight’s negotiation wouldn’t have happened.
The four representatives were taken away by the police. Tan Rou did not want to let them go. Besides, it would be beneficial for Tan Rou if the police took them away. This way, the other merchants would not dare to make a move easily.
The next day, some merchants heard the news and quickly moved their shops away. The remaining merchants were also actively looking for a new venue, wanting to move out as soon as possible.
Tan Rou was very satisfied with this result. At the same time, she was very grateful to the four people who caused trouble last night. If not for them, the relocation of the merchants would not have gone so smoothly.
Chapter 1152: 1151 Nurse Robot
Tan Rou didn’t stop the merchants from leaving. She would turn this into an exhibition area for TR’s products sooner or later anyway. If the merchants left early, she could make preparations earlier. She had already bought the mall, so she didn’t have to worry about the rent, so she didn’t care if the shops were empty.
Tan Rou planned to use the first and second floors as the exhibition area. The current plan was still the same. Their company did not have many products to display, so the first and second floors were enough.
This time, Tan Rou planned to showcase a robot that she had carefully designed for a long time. This robot was originally going to be exhibited at the international exchange last year, but it was not perfected at that time. There was a small problem that had not been solved, so she did not show it off.
After a few months of modification, the robot’s system was already very perfect. It could be used as the highlight piece of the new mall.
“What are you going to show me?” Zhuang Liu’s eyes were blocked, and he could only rely on Tan Rou to pull him forward. “Could it be a gift for me?”
Tan Rou smiled. “Don’t ask anymore. You’ll see this thing soon.”
Zhuang Liu continued to walk until they reached a bright place. He was filled with anticipation. Could this be the venue for his wedding with Tan Rou in the future? Otherwise, why would it be so bright?
Tan Rou took off the cloth covering Zhuang Liu’s face. Zhuang Liu was blinded for a moment. After he got used to the strong light, he saw a robot about 1.7 meters tall standing in front of him.
This robot was very different from the ordinary robots produced by TR. Ordinary robots were cute. Although they could be customized, their bodies were still spherical.
However, this robot was different. It had a body similar to a human’s, and its watery black eyes were almost no different from a human’s. If one ignored the metal skeleton on its body, then it was a human.
Zhuang Liu was a little surprised. “Is this the robot you developed first? It looks much more advanced than the previous robots.”
“It’s not completely innovative. The basic program of this robot is still the same but I added some new content to make it work better.”
Zhuang Liu walked in to observe the new robot and said, “High-tech products are updated very quickly. If you can’t get a product that can satisfy customers, they probably won’t buy it. What’s so special about this robot?”
“This robot is specially designed for the elderly. It’s a highly intelligent robot that combines nursing and companionship.” Tan Rou quickly answered.
There were many high-intelligence robots on the market that had the function of companionship. The first few robots produced by TR Company were mainly used in life, and most of them were companion robots.
If the robot this time was still an ordinary companion robot, then there was no need to design it. Even if its appearance changed, it was essentially the same. Customers would not pay a higher price for this kind of robot.
“A nursing robot?” This was the first time Zhuang Liu had heard of this type of robot.
“I can understand the concept of a companion robot, but how do you understand this nursing robot? Could it be that it can take care of others?”
Although there was a program to take care of others, it needed to input instructions, such as what time to do and what to do. Otherwise, it would not work.
The companion robots produced by TR were more flexible and could perform other actions according to instructions. However, robots were robots after all. If it was a job that required too much thought, they would not do it.
“This robot is specially designed for the elderly.” Tan Rou revealed a sad expression. “Do you still remember Zhang Feng?”
Of course, Zhuang Liu remembered Zhang Feng. At that time, he accompanied Tan Rou hoping to purchase the special herb from Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng did not ask them for money.
Zhuang Liu had also heard from Tan Rou what happened after that. Zhang Feng died alone at home. No one accompanied him until the last moment. His body was only discovered a few days later.
“Did you design this robot because of him?” Zhuang Liu also felt a little regretful. Zhang Feng was their benefactor. They should have been tougher and brought Zhang Feng out of the small village.
Chapter 1153: 1152 Find Someone to Try
“It’s not entirely because of him, but it’s because of his death that I decided to speed up the creation of the nursing robot. He was very lonely when he was alive, and he was even more lonely when he died. This is really too tragic for a person.”
Tan Rou had a serious look on her face as she spoke.
Zhuang Liu nodded slightly. “Because Zhang Feng gave us those herbs, we were able to successfully make the medicine to extend grandfather’s life. Therefore, he is our benefactor. His death is a pity to us.”
“There are many old people like Zhang Feng in this world. Some of them don’t have children by their side, while others don’t have children at all. I didn’t make this robot for money. I just want to use my own abilities to contribute to the world.”
Zhuang Liu liked Tan Rou’s intelligence and also her kindness. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“This is a new attempt, and the target of service is also the elderly, so I think it’s better to be careful. The first batch of ten robots have been produced. I plan to distribute these robots to the elderly for free to recruit volunteers. Then, based on the effect of their use, they will improve the robot and finally decide whether to produce this type of robot.”
“Have you found all the volunteers?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou only found two volunteers. “My grandmother and Lu Qing’s grandfather are both willing to be volunteers. My grandfather’s health isn’t very good, and the performance of the robot isn’t stable enough. I don’t dare to let him accept the experiment. When the robot is improved in the future, we’ll arrange another one for him.”
Zhuang Liu also felt that this was more appropriate. “Let me help you find the rest of the test subjects. My network is wider than yours, so it’s easier to find volunteers.”
“I wanted to ask my old friends for help, but they’re too busy. Besides, they have people to take care of them. They don’t need my robot at all. My clients should be the elderly who have no children or partners to accompany them.”
“The two experimental subjects you found didn’t meet the requirements either?” Zhuang Liu thought for a moment.
“With Grandma and Old Master Lu’s status, it’s impossible for them to lack someone to take care of them, right?”
Tan Rou smiled. “Of course, we can’t just find the same person for the experiment. I’m looking for Grandma and Grandpa Lu to collect experimental data. Their suggestions are also very important. After all, the people who take care of them can’t stay by their side all the time. What will they do if someone leaves one day?”
Everyone had special circumstances, such as going to the toilet or eating. At this time, it was definitely impossible for the servant to stay by the employer’s side. However, robots were different. They did not need to eat or go to the toilet. They only needed to be fully charged.
Moreover, the robots designed by Tan Rou were more advanced. They did not need others to charge them. When they ran out of battery, they would naturally return to the charging station to charge. After the battery was charged, they would consciously return to their owners.
“Okay, I’ll find you a volunteer as soon as possible. I hope your experiment will be successful,” Zhuang Liu agreed. “I hope this nursing robot can be put on the market as soon as possible.”
Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about her plan again. “I plan to start launching robots in the city after the experiment is successful. I’ll mainly launch them in nursing homes first. There are more lonely elderly people there. If robots can replace humans to take care of the elderly, there should be very few cases of elder abuse in the future.”
Some people were more vicious. They bullied the elderly who could not take care of themselves. The elderly did not dare to refute them. Once they refuted them, the elderly would suffer even more torture.
Robots would not have evil thoughts. They would only follow the procedures designed by humans, so there would naturally be no incidents of abuse of the elderly.
Zhuang Liu found all the volunteers within a day. Those volunteers came from all walks of life and were all lonely old people. They were all older and had a very difficult life. They were the ones who needed help.
Tan Rou set off with her robot. She had to go to those people’s houses to install the robot. There was still a lot of work to do, and she would only get busier.
Chapter 1154: 1153 There’s a little result
The elderly would not use these robots on their own accord, so they needed someone to help them set up the program. After Tan Rou set up the program, she instructed the people not to touch the buttons on the robots at will or destroy the robots. Otherwise, they would not be able to get the money.
That’s right, this experiment was expensive. The lives of the elderly were relatively difficult. If it weren’t for money, they wouldn’t have volunteered.
Once they heard that they wouldn’t be able to get money if they damaged the robot, they would definitely cherish the robot; at least they would let the robot work for a while longer. This would eliminate the old evil people. If the old people deliberately came in to cause trouble, it would affect the results of the experiment.
Fortunately, the old people that Zhuang Liu found were more obedient. Only a few old people liked to torment the robot and deliberately mess with it.
The robot did not have human emotions. It did not know if the elderly were really in danger, so whether the elderly were pretending or really in danger, the robot would follow the instructions to protect them. When some old people discovered this situation, so they tried their best to put themselves in danger and mess with the robots settings.
Tan Rou was furious when she found out. She warned the old man who participated in the experiment not to mess with the robot anymore. Otherwise, she would take back all his money and ask him to compensate for the damage to the robot.
When the old man heard that he had no money to pay, he was afraid. He immediately promised that he would not bully the robot again and would do the experiment according to Tan Rou’s request.
Tan Rou wanted to give him another chance, but she had a new request. She knew this old man well. His name was Wang Si. He had studied for a few years when he was young and was educated. Therefore, Tan Rou had asked him to write about his experience with the robot.
The volunteers had improved the robot, but most of the elderly at the bottom were illiterate, so people who could write like Wang Si were very rare.
After being threatened by Tan Rou, Wang Si didn’t dare to cause trouble. He treated the experimental robot like his ancestor and wiped it clean with a rag every day.
Tan Rou could see how Wang Si used the robot from the surveillance camera. She was speechless when she saw Wang Si wiping the robot with a rag. However, she did not stop Wang Si because it was beneficial for the robot’s protection.
About half a month later, the data that Tan Rou needed came. All the old people praised the robot and even made some small suggestions, hoping that it could be improved.
Tan Rou read through all the suggestions and chose the ones she thought could be used as reference to give to Zhuang Liu, hoping to get some advice from him.
“This old gentleman said that we can add a custom-made face to the robot. I think it’s acceptable, but we can’t go too far. For example, if he wants to change the robot’s face to that of a peerless beauty, that’s definitely not possible,” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou was amused by him. “According to what you said, it’s impossible for the old lady to turn the robot’s face into a handsome man?”
Zhuang Liu directly denied it. “That’s definitely not possible. This robot project can only be changed to the level of a normal person, unless there are special circumstances. For example, people who have lost their wives and children can change the robot into the appearance of their loved ones. This is acceptable.”
Tan Rou nodded. “People change the robot’s face to look like a peerless beauty or a handsome guy to satisfy their own selfish desires. This will form a competitive heart, which is not conducive to better putting the robot into use.”
Zhuang Liu flipped through a few more pages. “I’ve also read the other suggestions. They’re very reasonable suggestions. You can make appropriate arrangements. If your time is tight, there’s no need for you to do everything yourself. You can leave the work to your employees.”
Zhuang Liu had always felt that Tan Rou was too tired as a boss. Not only did she need to talk about work, but she also needed to design her products. She was not like a boss at all.
The only company in the world where employees were more comfortable than their bosses was probably TR.
“Okay, I got it.” Tan Rou shook Zhuang Liu’s hand.
“After I’m done with this, I’ll go rest for half a month, okay?”
Chapter 1155: 1145 There’s a problem with the product.
Tan Rou received feedback from the volunteers every day, especially Grandpa Lu and Grandma Tao. They wished they could write ten pieces of paper a day to tell Tan Rou their thoughts on using it.
One day, Tan Rou was reading her notes when Xiao Ting suddenly brought a newspaper over. “Boss, something happened!”
“What happened?” Tan Rou asked calmly.
“Could it be that the celebrity you like has been exposed for dating again?”
Xiao Ting liked to chase after celebrities, but every time she liked a celebrity, that celebrity’s relationship would be exposed. Her colleagues in the office liked to call her ‘Celebrity Matriarch’. As long as she liked a celebrity, she would quickly find someone she liked.
“No!” Xiao Ting became nervous again. “This time, it’s not my business, but yours.”
Tan Rou’s expression was still calm. She took the newspaper from Xiao Ting’s hands. “Is there another piece of news that’s bad for us?”
Xiao Ting was stunned. “How do you know?”
Tan Rou opened the newspaper and glanced at it. Her expression disappeared. “Our company’s products have quality problems? Heh, if I remember correctly, the robot in the photo is still in the experimental stage, right?”
Xiao Ting kept nodding. “Yes, this is the nursing robot you developed.”
“Who took this photo? Which media outlet published it?” Tan Rou asked.
“It was posted by the Capital Daily,” Xiao Ting said with a troubled expression.
The Capital Daily was the most authoritative newspaper in the entire capital. It had many readers, and 70% of its readers were elderly. The elderly didn’t know how to surf the Internet. They were more used to getting news from the newspapers. If they felt that this robot wasn’t good, they definitely wouldn’t use it in the future.
The vast majority of the elderly were very stubborn. Once their ideas were formed, it was very difficult to change them later.
Since the news was spread through the physical newspapers, Tan Rou couldn’t remove the news. The newspaper had been published for ten hours. The public would have seen it.
“Boss, what should we do?” This was the first time Xiao Ting had encountered such a situation. If it was a trending search on the Internet, she could contact the website to block the entry. However, she couldn’t do this with the newspaper. The newspaper had already been sent out and couldn’t be taken back.
Tan Rou wasn’t worried about how to deal with the public opinion this time. She was only concerned about who leaked the news about the robot.
The experiment this time was confidential. Other than those who volunteered to participate in the experiment, only Tan Rou and the others knew about this experiment. Logically speaking, it should not have been leaked. However, not only had the experiment been leaked, but it had also been published by the Capital Daily, causing a certain degree of adverse effects. This was definitely not good news.
Who did it?
“Boss, why are you in a daze?” Xiao Ting waved her hand in front of Tan Rou. “Are you scared silly?”
Tan Rou was just thinking about the problem. “Just wait and see. I think the other party must be targeting our company. Since he dared to expose this matter, he must have some ability. Arrange for two people to go to the headquarters of the Capital Daily to take a look and ask them who reported this news and who submitted it to them.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it now.”
However, just as Xiao Ting walked out of the office, the phone in front of Tan Rou rang. It was the office phone. The people who called were all here to discuss work, so Tan Rou didn’t even think about pressing the speaker button.
“Hello!” Tan Rou greeted.
“Is it Miss Tan Rou?” A sloppy voice came from the other end. “Miss Tan Rou, did you see the news this morning? It’s news from the Capital Daily.”
Tan Rou’s lips curled into a smile. Someone really came to give her a pillow when she was sleepy. She was just wondering who was looking for trouble with her when this person came knocking on her door.
“Who are you?” Tan Rou asked.
The other party chuckled and replied, “You don’t have to ask who I am. You just need to know that you’re in big trouble now.”
Tan Rou laughed too. “Do you think you can threaten me with that piece of news?”
The other party said, “Of course, it’s not just this piece of news. As long as you don’t agree to my request, there will be another piece of news that will be detrimental to your company every day. If you don’t believe me, you can wait and see.”
Chapter 1156: 1155 Extorting Money
“Oh. What’s your purpose? Tell me.”
The other party was silent for a minute before saying, “I want money.”
“If you want money, you can rob a bank.” Tan Rou smiled.
“The bank’s safe is full of money. You can have as much as you want.”
The other party obviously didn’t expect Tan Rou to say that. He was stunned for a while before he said harshly, “Miss Tan Rou, if you don’t give me the money, i’ll put all the evidence up now. This way, no one will buy your company’s products anymore.”
“Oh.” Tan Rou replied coldly, “How much do you want?”
The man said, “I don’t want much. Just give me five million. Five million is a small amount to you. I only want cash. Please prepare them in cash.”
The last person who had asked Tan Rou to prepare cash was now working on a sewing machine. She didn’t expect someone to dare to ask her for 5 million.
“Indeed, 5 million is nothing to me. Any team in our company has more than 5 million a year. I can give you five million, but you have to answer a few questions. If you answer them well, I’ll give you the money immediately.”
The other party obviously did not want to reveal too much. He said very angrily, “I’m threatening you now. I want you to give me the money. So don’t negotiate with me.”
Tan Rou’s attitude was still lukewarm. “Oh, since you don’t want to negotiate with me, then we have nothing else to say. Regarding what you said, I will investigate it myself. With just those few volunteers, sooner or later, someone will reveal a flaw.”
The other party seemed to be a little flustered. He was really afraid that Tan Rou would not give him the money, so he agreed to Tan Rou’s conditions.
“Alright, go ahead. I’m listening.” The man compromised.
Tan Rou directly asked who leaked the information. Instead, she asked some questions about robots. “Do you have any thoughts and opinions about our nursing robots?”
The man was confused for a long time before he replied, “I… I think your robot is quite good.”
Tan Rou took note of this answer seriously. “Alright. The second question, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved on our nursing robots? For example, is there anything that needs to be changed about the robot’s appearance and height?”
The man had seen the robots produced by TR Company. Some of them were very cute, like little elves; some robots looked very much like humans. This could be customized, so he felt that the robots of TR were already very good and did not need to be modified.
“I think your robot is very excellent. There’s no need to make any more modifications.” the man said honestly.
“Didn’t you say that our robots have quality problems? Since there’s a quality problem, why didn’t you mention it?” Tan Rou chuckled.
“Ah…” The man’s brain was not enough. He thought for a long time but could not answer this question.
“Your voice is younger. You’re either a reporter or one of the children of those old people.” Tan Rou analyzed.
“I’m more inclined to think that you’re the child of those old people. Although those old people live alone, some of them still have children. It’s just that their children are not by their side.”
The man started to panic. “No, I’m not. Don’t make wild guesses. You just have to prepare the money as soon as possible.”
“Judging from the way you speak, you probably haven’t been to school for many years, right? Did you graduate from middle school or high school?” Tan Rou asked.
“I… I’m a university student! I’m a university graduate this year!”
“If you were a university student, how could you not know the law?” Tan Rou smiled.
“Our company’s nursing robots aren’t on the market, nor are they profitable. How can they be products? It’s not a product we sell, so it’s wrong for you to say that our product has quality problems.”
“Anyway, that’s produced by your company. You have to give me the money. Otherwise, I’ll expose you to the reporters!” The man was not very confident, but he was still very stubborn.
“Give me the money quickly, or I’ll hand the news to the reporters.”
Tan Rou’s hand moved away from the recording button. “You can rest assured and hand over the draft to the reporters. We’ll see who’s going to be the unlucky one.”
Chapter 1157: 1156 Wang Si’s Son
The man was silent for a while. When he spoke again, he seemed to have more confidence. “Don’t threaten me. I have evidence that your company’s products have loopholes. As long as I publish it, your company won’t be able to operate anymore.”
Tan Rou only thought that this was a fool who came from nowhere. The fool might have listened to someone else’s instigation and wanted to use the loophole of the nursing robot to ask her for money. However, both the TR company and Tan Rou were not easy to bully.
Tan Rou didn’t charge for this experiment. Instead, she paid someone else to participate in the experiment. This kind of behavior was protected by the law, and they had already signed a contract. As long as there was no life-threatening accident, Tan Rou didn’t have to be responsible for anything that happened in the experiment.
Moreover, Tan Rou’s purpose in experimenting was to test whether the nursing robot was good or not. The robot bug that the other party mentioned did exist and it was also a key point for Tan Rou’s subsequent improvements. Therefore, Tan Rou did not need to be responsible for the robot bug.
Tan Rou didn’t know who was causing trouble behind the scenes, so she said, “I can give you five million. If you want cash, I’ll arrange cash for you. However, I have a condition…”
When the man heard that he could get money, he immediately asked, “What condition? Tell me quickly!”
Tan Rou said, “I’ll be waiting for you in the office at the top of the TR company building at 6 pm tonight. If you dare to come, I’ll give you this 5 million.”
“Are you kidding me?” The man was furious.
“If I go there, I’ll be arrested by your people. No, you have to send the money to the place I specify. Then, when I tell you to leave, you leave. You’re not allowed to observe from the side.”
“I’m sorry. I don’t have time to give you money now. If you want this 5 million yuan, you can come to the company to get it yourself.” Tan Rou said as she controlled the computer.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t call the police, and I won’t inform anyone else. As long as you dare to come over, I dare to give you this 5 million.”
The man seemed to be in a dilemma. He hesitated and said, “As long as I go over, you’ll give me five million? And you definitely won’t call the police to arrest me?”
Tan Rou said, “Like you said, I don’t need this 5 million at all. So, giving you some won’t affect me but I have to see if you’re a good person. Will you destroy the evidence after I give you the money?”
“Of course I will! I, Wang Jun, am the most trustworthy!” the man shouted.
Tan Rou heard his name. It turned out that he was called Wang Jun. There were many people with the surname Wang, but there was only one person related to the nursing robot, and that was Wang Si, who had destroyed the robot earlier.
Wang Si’s identity appeared on the computer screen. It said that he was alone now, but he was married before and had a son. However, his wife and son had disappeared more than 20 years ago. It was said that he was addicted to gambling when he was younger. His wife and son might have left him because of this.
Tan Rou had saved Wang Si’s number before, but she didn’t know that this old man had more than one phone number. The number he left for Tan Rou was one that he often used, and the number that Wang Jun used was a number from a long time ago.
Wang Jun, who had revealed his real name, immediately shut up. Tan Rou smiled and asked, “Mr. Wang, when are you coming to get the five million?”
“Just you wait, I’ll definitely get it!” Wang Jun gritted his teeth.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Tan Rou had already found out Wang Jun’s identity. Even if she did not know where Wang Jun was now, as long as she found Wang Si, she would definitely be able to find Wang Jun.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Rou and Hang Wei gave a few instructions. She had asked him to send a few of them who had a sharp tongue to follow Xia Ting. Then, Xiao Ting would bring them to the headquarters of the Capital Daily to cause them some trouble.
All of Tan Rou’s experiments were carried out within the limits of the law. It was not illegal or illegal as the news reported. Therefore, this news report was fake. Tan Rou had the right to ask the Capital Daily to write a clarification article and compensate for the losses of the TL company.
As for Tan Rou herself, she wanted to find trouble with Wang Jun.
Chapter 1158: 1157 Fabricated Evidence
Wang Si lived in an old house in Dongcheng Area. He lived on the second floor and had lived there for more than 30 years. The neighbors had never seen anyone else enter his house. They thought that he had no relatives or friends. They did not expect him to have a wife and children and even more that his son had returned.
In the old house, Wang Si was sitting at the table eating. His son, Wang Jun, was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The TV was still a relatively bulky old-fashioned TV. It was obvious that Wang Si’s family was not very well off.
“Xiao Jun, who did you call just now? Did you call Miss Tan Rou? I’ve already told you. Miss Tan Rou is your father’s benefactor. You can’t do such a thing to cheat her of her money.”
Wang Jun crossed his legs and swayed his toes. He said lazily, “Dad, so many years have passed. Why are you still so stupid? You don’t know that Tan Rou is really rich. Her company has billions of dollars in revenue every year. I only asked her for 5 million. It’s nothing to her.”
Wang Si wasn’t a good person, but he would never cheat money. Last time, he thought that Tan Rou wouldn’t let him continue to participate in the experiment. He didn’t expect Tan Rou to give him another chance. Wang Si felt that he had to repay Tan Rou, but just as he was about to continue participating in the experiment, his son, Wang Jun, returned.
Wang Si’s wife was already dead. Wang Jun had been working outside for more than ten years and had not saved a single cent. After thinking about it, Wang Jun decided to come back and look for Wang Si. After all, Wang Si still had a house. As long as Wang Si died, this house would be his.
Fortunately, Wang Jun had returned. Otherwise, he would not have encountered such an opportunity. Wang Jun usually liked to watch videos on the Internet. He accidentally scrolled through Tan Rou’s video and realized that this girl was really beautiful, so he watched a little more. He didn’t expect this beautiful girl to be the boss of the most powerful technology company in the country. This made Wang Jun like her even more.
He had some impression of Tan Rou and TR Company, so he noticed the logo on the robot as soon as he came back. He asked his father, and it was indeed a robot from TR Company.
In the beginning, Wang Jun planned to sell this nursing robot, so he looked for buyers everywhere. One day, a strange man came to him and said that he wanted to discuss a business deal with Wang Jun. If this business was successful, Wang Jun would get at least 6 million.
Wang Jun was greedy. He originally only wanted to sell this robot for tens of thousands. Now that he heard that there was a good deal of 6 million yuan, he immediately agreed.
The other party’s request was very simple. He just wanted him to take more photos and send them to the Capital Daily. Then, he would threaten Tan Rou.
In order to make Wang Jun listen, the man first gave Wang Jun a deposit of 10,000 and said that he would give him another 500,000 yuan if the matter was completed halfway.
When Wang Jun saw the extra money in his account, his suspicions were completely eliminated. He took lots of photos of the robot and made some scars on the robot. Then, he sent these photos to the Capital Daily’s agency. He didn’t know how that person arranged it, but Wang Jun saw the report in the newspaper the next day.
After the news report came out, Wang Jun could make the phone call. The phone number in his hand was also given to him by the mysterious man. The other party said that Tan Rou would definitely pick up the call.
Wang Jun was quite excited at the thought of talking to a beauty. However, Tan Rou was too stubborn. No matter what Wang Jun said, she was unwilling to give the money readily. In the end, the deal was not finalized.
Wang Jun planned to send some more photos tonight. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to see the new report tomorrow morning.
When Wang Si saw Wang Jun placing the photo on the table, he said with a pained expression, “Little Jun, you can’t do this. You’re lying!”
“Dad, I learned it from you,” Wang Jun sneered.
“Didn’t you promise my mom that you wouldn’t gamble anymore? Why did you lose so much money in the end?”
Wang Si did not speak. Gambling had caused him too much misery. He was unwilling to mention that past again.
Wang Jun said, “Dad, when I get five million, I’ll give you five hundred thousand. Don’t you like gambling? Let’s go gambling together!”
Wang Si was very surprised. “Xiao Jun, are you also involved in gambling?”
Chapter 1159: 1158 Father and Son Fight
Wang Jun picked his ear with his pinky and smiled at his father. “Dad, like father, like son. You like gambling. I inherited your genes. I like gambling too.”
“You haven’t saved a single cent for so many years,” Wang Si asked with great heartache. “Is it because you’ve been gambling?”
Wang Jun said impatiently, “Dad, I don’t gamble every day. I only play a few rounds when I’m free. My luck isn’t very good. I lose more than I win. Besides, my capital is too little. Those who win have tens of millions. As long as I bring 5 million over this time, I’ll win money!”
Wang Si stood up from his chair and walked to his son angrily. “Xiao Jun, you can’t go gambling! If you can get the money this time, take it and hide far away. Don’t come back in the future. Just pretend that I don’t have a son like you.”
Wang Jun forced a smile. “Dad, I’m your only son. How can you say such a thing? Moreover, I know that this place is about to be demolished. When it’s demolished, you’ll get a lot of money. You might even get a good house in the Capital. So we can’t leave now. At least we have to get a new house before we leave.”
Wang Si was so angry that his hair was about to stand on end. “I… Even if I die, I won’t leave the house to you!”
In the past, Wang Si wished so much for his son to come back. Now, I wish so much for his son to get lost.
Wang Jun naturally wouldn’t leave. “Dad, don’t worry. I’m a filial son. When you die, I’ll definitely choose the largest and most luxurious cemetery for you so that you can lie comfortably inside.”
Wang Si was so angry that his heart hurt. He subconsciously raised his hand to hit Wang Jun. However, Wang Jun was no longer a child. He was now taller than Wang Si and younger. Wang Si was not his match at all.
Wang Si reached out his hand and Wang Jun stood up. He grabbed Wang Si’s hand and pushed him back. Wang Si’s body was not as good as it used to be. After being pushed by Wang Jun, he fell back unsteadily. However, he held onto the edge of the sofa and barely bent over to stand.
“I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your dead mother today!” Wang Si touched the crutch beside him, so he grabbed the crutch and hit Wang Jun.
Wang Jun was not someone to be trifled with. He did not care about the little bit of kinship between father and son. This time, he came back for his father’s house. If his father died, this house would fall into his hands in advance.
Thinking of this, Wang Jun revealed a strange smile. He grabbed the crutch with one hand and pressed the other hand on Wang Si’s neck.
Wang Si was restrained by him and could not move for a long time. His face turned red because of his heart, and it was very difficult for him to speak. “Xiao Jun… You can’t make such a mistake…”
Wang Jun only wanted money and a house. He did not care about Wang Si’s life or death. When he was young, Wang Si would drink when he returned from losing money. Once he drank, he would go crazy and beat people up. His mother couldn’t stand Wang Si’s gambling and beatings, which was why they left this man.
“I can’t make a mistake? Can you make a mistake?” Wang Jun grabbed Wang Si’s neck tightly. “My mother is dead. Why don’t you die as well? You old thing, you should die sooner!”
Wang Si’s tongue rolled out. The crutch in his hand had already fallen to the ground. “Help…”
Wang Jun’s eyes were red as he cursed, “Go to hell! As long as you die, the house will be mine!”
Wang Si tried to kick Wang Jun with his foot, but he was not as tall as Wang Jun, so he could not kick Wang Jun.
“Do you think I’m still the same kid?” Wang Jun asked.
“Every time you hit me, I always think that I must be taller than you so that you can only be beaten by me!”
“You bastard! I’m your biological father!”
“So what? What I want is your life!” After saying that, he increased the strength in his hand, intending to strangle Wang Si to death. Wang Jun couldn’t stop as a gambler has no feeling.
The robot in the corner that was waiting suddenly lit up with a red light and began to talk to itself. “Detecting danger. Automatic protection program activated.”
Chapter 1160: 1159 Robot Activated
The nursing robot ran to Wang Si’s side at the fastest speed. If Wang Si had not given Wang Jun the authority of the robot, the robot would have long discovered that Wang Jun was killing Wang Si.
Wang Si’s eyes began to blur. He felt that the blood in his body could not flow, but he did not want to die. Although he was not a good person, he really wanted to live a few more years.
The nursing robot’s mechanical arm, which looked very much like a human, grabbed Wang Jun’s arm and pulled it away.
The nursing robot had to take care of the elderly. Considering that the elderly were prone to falling, the physical fitness of the robot was improved a lot during the design. One of its arms could carry a weight of 200 pounds. Wang Jun was not its opponent at all.
Wang Jun grimaced in pain. “It hurts, it hurts, let go of me!”
“Danger detected,” the robot repeated. “Master, please return to your room and lock the door immediately.”
Although Wang Si’s breathing had recovered, he was still very old and could not return to normal for a while. He did not hear a word the robot said. He could only lie on the ground and breathe slowly.
“Danger detected. New owner, return to your room immediately and lock the door.” As Wang Si did not do as the nursing robot said, it repeated itself.
Wang Si’s eyes were filled with misery. How could he still have the strength to run back to his room? The nursing robot also seemed to have noticed this problem. It threw Wang Jun aside, turned around, and returned to Wang Si’s side to do a scan on him.
“Detected that the owner’s life is in danger. Call for urgent help.” The nursing robot made a call while reporting Wang Si to the sofa. Wang Si fainted, and the nursing robot had its back to Wang Jun, so it gave Wang Jun a chance to counterattack.
He picked up the walking stick that Wang Si had dropped on the ground, quietly approached the robot, and then hit the head of the nursing robot.
The moment his stick landed on the nursing robot’s head, the robot quickly turned around to block the stick and said in a mechanical voice, “Danger detected. Changing to the defense and attack mode.”
The walking stick in Wang Jun’s hand was taken away by the nursing robot and broken into two halves. “The enemy has lost his weapon. The danger level has been reduced by 50%. The alarm has been lifted. We will adopt a defensive mode.”
Wang Jun was angered by the robot’s words. “What? My combat strength can’t even compare to a walking stick?”
The nursing robot would not answer Wang Jun’s question. Now was a time of crisis, and it would only do things that were beneficial to Wang Si.
Wang Jun was very dissatisfied with the nursing robot’s attitude. “You’re just a broken robot. How dare you block my way? I’ll tear you apart and sell you as scrap metal!”
He lifted the small wooden chair next to the sofa and smashed it on the arm of the nursing robot. In his knowledge, robots were relatively clumsy and would definitely not be able to defeat him.
However, he underestimated this robot. When he raised the chair, the nursing robot returned to its original attack and defense mode. It picked up the crutch that had been broken in half and hit Wang Jun’s arm.
Wang Jun cried out in pain. His arm was hit and he had no strength in his hand. The chair fell down and hit his foot, almost shattering the bones in his foot.
Wang Jun screamed and lay on the ground, hugging his feet as he howled, “My feet, my feet!”
The nursing robot looked coldly at Wang Jun, who was lying on the ground. Its mechanical eyes were emotionless. “The crisis has been resolved. We will return to operation mode in three seconds.”
Wang Si and Wang Jun, one was lying on the sofa, the other was lying on the ground. The nursing robot only cared about its owner and did not care about Wang Jun’s life or death.
The robot squatted beside Wang Si and monitored his heartbeat and breathing while calling the hospital again to ask them to send a doctor over quickly. It was a mess inside the room, but it was very peaceful outside. Tan Rou drove over to look for Wang Si, hoping to get news of Wang Jun from him.
She knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door for her. So she asked. “Uncle Wang, are you at home?”
Still, no one answered her. Wang Si must have gone out. “Alright, I’ll have to come back tomorrow.”
