President Pan was finally learning just how difficult Shen Lu was to deal with.
This slip of a girl was impossible. She wouldn't bend to threats, and she couldn't be swayed by persuasion. There was just no getting through to her.
His original plan was to exploit the conflict between Shen Lu and Old Zhuang. After things escalated, he would step in, put her in his debt, and then have her lend him the vehicle as a matter of course.
But as it turned out, the delivery driver was a Superpower User who utterly thrashed Old Zhuang's son and his men. Then the three-way meeting had ended the way it did. It was a classic case of trying to steal the chicken only to lose the rice for bait.
'He didn't think he was making any unreasonable demands, so why on earth wouldn't she agree?'
With the delivery deadline approaching day by day and no way to get the goods out, he was getting truly desperate.
It looked like he would have to resort to Sun Liang's terrible idea after all: coercion by force.
