Chapter 531 Stroll
"Kid, you’d better call your parents right now and have them send you money. We don’t want much, just two hundred thousand to settle this." Jiang Tianci said with a cold smile.
"That’s right, kid. I’ve been lying here so long, and it took me this long to find someone like you. You can’t get away without paying," the old man said without any sense of shame.
It was a blatant case of extortion, it was as if it was written all over their faces that they were extorting him!
"I don’t have money, and my parents don’t have that much either." The young student was on the verge of tears.
His family wasn’t well-off, and his parents couldn’t come up with that much money right away.
By borrowing from relatives and friends, he might manage to gather that amount.
But, that would take time.
And besides, he wasn’t willing to submit to extortion like this.
It turned out that doing good deeds wasn’t so easy after all.
He hadn’t really believed it before, but now he was thoroughly convinced.
"No money? You can borrow it. I don’t believe you can’t borrow two hundred thousand in this day and age," Jiang Tianci said with a sneer.
All he cared about was money, how others got their money wasn’t his concern.
Since he had chosen this ’profession’, he wouldn’t have any sympathy.
People with sympathy wouldn’t do this sort of thing.
"Honey, do you think we could help that student?" Zhao Yuxin couldn’t stand to watch any longer.
He was just a student after all, and being preyed upon by scammers like this could have a big impact on him.
"Sure, you just wait here, I’ll handle it," Xu Yang nodded and walked out.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Tianci was puzzled to see Xu Yang approaching.
"I can’t stand watching you guys extort money like this, I want to have a word with you," Xu Yang said.
"Talk my ass, what’s there to talk about? I’m busy trying to get money from this kid. I don’t have time to chat with you, unless you’re paying for him," Jiang Tianci said irritably.
"You’re right, I’ll pay for him. He’s just a student; even if you pressure him, he doesn’t have money for you. Making a fuss will just waste time and effort, but I’m different. I have a job, I have money to give you, so let him go," Xu Yang said.
"Are you serious?" Jiang Tianci sized up Xu Yang and, noticing that his clothes were all branded, his eyes lit up.
For someone like this, two hundred thousand wouldn’t be a problem at all.
"Of course," Xu Yang nodded, "you let him go, let him leave, and I’ll give you the money."
The old man asked Jiang Tianci, "Is this okay?"
The extortion was always led by Jiang Tianci, so he had to check with him.
In his opinion, Xu Yang was likely to have the money.
At least from outward appearance, it seemed probable that Xu Yang could pay up.
Jiang Tianci’s eyes swiveled, and a smile curled his lips: "If you’re willing to pay for him, that’s not impossible, but it won’t just be two hundred thousand. It’ll have to be thirty, no, fifty thousand!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned once again.
"Damn it, the extortionist is jacking up the price!"
"Motherfucker, how can there be people like this in society!"
"He’s asking for fifty thousand because he sees the young man has money!"
"Motherfucker, I hope these two bastards get hit by a car when they go out!"
"That won’t do, if they got hit by a car, that would harm the car owner who hit them. They should just choke to death on water or suffocate on food!"
"That works, as long as they die without causing trouble for anyone else!"
...
"Fifty thousand it is, then. Let him go," Xu Yang agreed without hesitation.
"Great," Jiang Tianci smiled.
The old man immediately let go of the student’s hand and grabbed Xu Yang’s.
"You can go now. There are good and bad people in this world, and you just happened to meet the bad ones. It’s just bad luck, but don’t lose faith in people because of it."
Xu Yang came out to help because he wanted to say this as well.
The fact that this student was willing to help showed that he was a kind-hearted and helpful person; he hoped it wouldn’t affect his nature.
"Big brother, you..." Although the student was very happy, he was still a bit hesitant about the other party compensating on his behalf.
"I’m fine, you go on." Xu Yang said.
"Thank you, big brother, I won’t forget your words." The student gave Xu Yang a bow and left.
The day’s events were destined to influence his future actions.
"Kid, pay up, 500,000 yuan, do you want to scan a code or do a bank transfer?" Jiang Tianci took out his mobile phone.
Whether it’s scanning a code or transferring via bank card, it requires a mobile phone.
Not to mention scanning a code, even bank account details are recorded on the phone.
"Scan it, transferring is too much of a hassle." Xu Yang took out his phone and scanned the code to pay 500,000 yuan!
After receiving the payment, Jiang Tianci grinned and said, "Grandpa, the money has been transferred, let him go!"
The old man’s eyeballs rotated and he said, "Tianci, it’s only your 500,000 yuan that has been transferred, mine hasn’t arrived yet, how can I let him go?"
This kid was so quick to give 500,000 yuan, he must have a lot of money; taking out another 500,000 should also be easy for him.
It’s not easy to come across such a fat sheep; they must be fleeced thoroughly, otherwise, it just wouldn’t be fair to themselves.
Jiang Tianci was stunned, but quickly understood the old man’s meaning, and immediately said, "That’s right, you only gave me 500,000 yuan, you haven’t given my grandfather his 500,000 yet." Continue reading on NovelBin.Côm
The people around, upon hearing this, were shocked once again.
"Damn it, those two are shameless, they got 500,000 yuan and still want another 500,000!"
"Fuck, Black and White Impermanence better come take these two scumbags away, otherwise who knows how many more people they’ll scam in the future!"
"This young man is also a bit foolish, he shouldn’t have given the 500,000 yuan so readily; otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have asked for another 500,000."
"How can you blame this young man, the only ones to blame are those two shameless scammers."
"That’s right, it’s too shameless!"
"I thought I was shameless enough, but compared to these scammers, I’m practically insignificant!"
...
Seeing how shameless these two were, Xu Yang smiled, "No problem, take out your phone, still scanning a code."
The old man was overjoyed and immediately took out his own phone, opening his payment QR code.
Xu Yang immediately scanned the code and transferred another 500,000 yuan, then said, "Now you can let go, right?"
"Yes, I can." The old man reluctantly released Xu Yang’s hand.
To scam an easy 1 million yuan like that.
He even regretted it a bit, feeling he should have demanded more.
Xu Yang said to everyone, "All right, it’s settled, everyone disperse."
After watching the commotion, the crowd dispersed.
Xu Yang returned to Zhao Yuxin’s side, took her hand, and said, "Let’s go."
Zhao Yuxin said, "Husband, is that how you’re going to settle it? I was hoping to see you teach them a lesson."
Xu Yang said, "Teaching them a lesson is certain, but not now, maybe tomorrow. I’ll have Ma Yangrong look into their information tomorrow, and they will get what they deserve."
In fact, he could have called Ma Yangrong right then, just like the last time he was extorted.
But today, Xu Yang didn’t want to deal with it; he just wanted to have a nice walk with Zhao Yuxin.
Otherwise, if he called Ma Yangrong, he’d have to keep an eye on the situation, not knowing how long it would take to settle.
Better to wait until tomorrow, there will be plenty of time to play with these two fellows then.
"Okay," Zhao Yuxin said nothing more.
The two continued their stroll.
Jiang Tianci and the old man, having received the money, watched Xu Yang leave with indecisive expressions in their eyes.
