Chapter 24 No way out
After a few days of uneasiness, everything was calm. Seeing that nothing happened, Yifan and I relaxed and started doing whatever we needed to do.
That afternoon, we were having dinner at a Sichuan restaurant when we saw four or five young people walking in. All of them were broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and they looked like they were not easy to offend.
I thought they were here to eat and didn't care. But when this group of people gathered around my table, I had a premonition that something was wrong, so I immediately glanced at Yifan, pulled him up and wanted to leave.
"Luo Yifan, don't leave! Can you run away after everything is done?" came a familiar voice, and a person slowly walked to the table and sat down. When I saw it, it was Wu Cifeng!
Wu Cifeng looked at me with a smile on his face and said: "This is my senior brother, you two are indeed graduate students. You are so skilled in doing bad things."
"What do you mean? Do I know you? What bad things have we done? You must have evidence for what you say." I asked him loudly, but I felt a little guilty.
"You are such a noble person, so forgetful! You just received a beating and you forgot so quickly? How do you think I found you? There are hidden cameras everywhere in my place. It was supposed to prevent others from cheating, but I didn't expect it.
What happened when I met you two who were desperate for their lives? Do you want to watch the video?"
My heart skipped a beat and I felt cold: I didn’t count this!
"Okay, that's it now. Let's stop talking nonsense. What do you want?" I asked directly.
"Okay! It's refreshing enough! I like it. We are doing this business just to make money, and we don't want to have grudges with others. Since senior brother said so, then if you compensate me for the loss, I will forget it. I can also destroy the video!"
"How much do you want?"
"After burning so many machines, I also have to renovate the store, which also delays my business. I think I need one million anyway," Wu Cifeng stared at me and said unhurriedly.
"Go and rob a fucking bank, your dozens of broken machines are worth less than RMB 50,000," Yifan couldn't help shouting after hearing this.
"You still want to be f**king beaten, right? I'm going to be dead now, do you believe it?" Wu Cifeng said fiercely to Yifan. I was really scared. I have never experienced such a scene since I was a child.
He quickly drank and stopped Yifan.
"Brother, this is indeed our fault, but there are reasons for it. You want so much as soon as you ask. We are both students, how can we have so much money?" I softened my tone and asked for help.
"Pretend! Keep pretending! Didn't you just receive one million? Now you know it was wrong. Why didn't you know it was wrong when you set the fucking fire? I don't want more than one million. I'll give it to you for three days.
Time, otherwise I will report the crime!"
"Xiao Feng, you bitch!" Yifan said through gritted teeth.
"Boss Wu, who did you hear that we have one million? We two poor students are not worth one million even if we sell them!" I begged in a low voice.
"Who else is there besides Xiaofeng? Then I will report the crime now..."
"No, no, no, no, no," I was so panicked that I couldn't help but say, "Just as you said, we will think of a solution in three days."
"Okay! I hope you keep your word, and I don't want to ruin the bright future of you two promising young people, haha."
After Wu Cifeng said that, he walked away, leaving Yifan and I sitting at the table dumbfounded.
After a long time, Yifan asked quietly: "What should we do? Senior brother"
"What can we do? Give us money. If he really wants to report the crime, we will not only be fired, but we will also be imprisoned, you know?"
We really have no choice but to give him the money as he requested. Not to mention going to jail, just being expelled from school is something we cannot afford. My parents, and Yifan's parents will be pissed to death.
So on the third day, we took the initiative to contact Wu Cifeng and transferred 980,000 yuan to them at the agreed place. He graciously said he didn’t want the 20,000 yuan! He also showed the video in front of us.
The file was destroyed.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and just treated it as a waste of money! Maybe this money shouldn’t belong to me!
I originally thought that the matter was over, and Yifan and I gradually adjusted our mentality. Yifan continued to do experiments, and I continued to write the paper.
But what we never expected was that less than a week later, Wu Cifeng called Yifan again, asking for another 600,000 this time. He still only gave him 3 days, otherwise he would report the crime. He also sent Yifan an email
There was a video of us setting fire in the casino, and the damn guy still had a backup! Ivan was so angry that he dropped his phone. I was also shocked and angry, and I didn’t know what to do for a moment.
But just being angry can't solve the problem! I comforted Yifan, forced myself to calm down and think about countermeasures.
Xiaofeng told the person surnamed Wu that our experimental results were sold for one million, and when the person surnamed Wu saw that we actually paid out 1 million, he must have thought that we still had some profit to be exploited.
That guy is obviously a scoundrel and has no credibility at all. Even if he tries to find a way to raise 600,000 yuan to give him, he will still ask for it a third time or a fourth time.
Now Yifan and I have no choice but to go to the door and confront them head-on! Let them know that Yifan and I are desperate even if we are cornered.
They have an industry, and we, who are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, should still have a glimmer of hope. Besides, once their casino is exposed, it will definitely die. I think compared with their casino, which is making a lot of money every day, they should not
As for taking risks for this little money!
I told Yifan this idea, but he was now in a state of confusion. Seeing that I was determined, he could only listen to me.
So we made an appointment with Wu Cifeng to meet at his casino on the third night.
On the afternoon of the third day, I asked Ivan to bring a bucket of gasoline and a lighter that we had prepared, and went straight to their casino. When I entered, I saw that the casino had been renovated, and all the burned out machines had been replaced.
new.
When Wu Cifeng saw us coming, he even carried a bucket, thinking we were bringing cash, and politely let us into the manager's office.
I saw his smiling face and wanted to strangle him to death. I said straight to the point: "Wu, since you won't let me live, then I will also drag you to be buried with you. There is everything in this bucket."
It’s gasoline, I don’t want to live today anyway, no one here can escape today.”
After saying that, I took out my lighter and unscrewed the cap of the gasoline can, and immediately a strong smell of gasoline filled the air. Seeing me like this, Ivan also took out his lighter. I told him before I came here that I came here to find death.
Don't think about living. If you think about living, you won't be able to live.
When Wu Cifeng saw it, he was shocked and said hurriedly: "Brother Shen, please tell me if you have something to say! The 600,000 yuan I mentioned is not negotiable!" As he spoke, he winked at the people next to him.
"Discuss, I gave you 1 million, and you want 600,000 more, you can still negotiate? I will burn down your harmful casino today, and everyone will be finished together. I am not ready to go back since I came today!" I was angry!
De's face turned red and he started pouring gasoline. Yifan also lit the lighter.
"Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen! No more, no more! I keep my word! No more! Our account has been wiped out! From now on, you and I will not be in conflict with each other!" Wu Cifeng shouted loudly.
"Really! Do you mean what you say?" After hearing what he said, I straightened the oil pot with my left hand and asked hesitantly.
Chapter completed!
