Chapter 214 (2/2)

“Aren’t you in the restroom? Don’t tell me you forget your aunt’s towel. I’m telling you, I’m a gentleman, and I never strolled into the women’s restroom!” Tang Xiu couldn’t help teasing her.

“T-Tang… Xiu, I seem to be in trouble! Come here quickly and help me.” From her voice, Chen Wei was somewhat panicked.

Tang Xiu’s face turned cold and asked with a deep tone, “What happened? Where are you?”

“I’m in the corridor outside the restroom. I… I just accidentally hit the bonsai porch in the hallway and it hit someone else. And he wants me to pay compensation.” Chen Wei said.

“Wait for me there.” Tang Xiu said.

After he hung up the phone, Tang Xiu quickly went out of the box and asked the attendant outside about the restroom location as he quickly headed toward the corridor on the left.

“You must pay the damages. My clothes are worth 58 thousand, 26 thousand for my shoes, for a total of 84 thousand yuan. You must also pay my medical expenses because my leg hurts because of you. I’ll give you a small account with the interest of 16 thousand. So you must pay me 100 thousand yuan. If you can’t pay it, it won’t be as simple as a slap in your face.” An arrogant voice reverberated in the hallway.

“Can I wait for my friend first? He’s coming here!” It was Chen Wei’s voice.

“Waiting for someone, eh? I tell you, I don’t give a damn even if an Emperor comes, you still must compensate me. Not a dime less, otherwise I won’t end things here. Fuck, it’s so fucking bad luck.” The man’s voice and tone were even more arrogant.

Tang Xiu was just only ten meters away from them. He could clearly see the man’s appearance and didn’t expect the world to be so small that he could bump into the guy he had given a lesson before.

“What a big tone eh! Just give it a try. I wanna see what you’ll do if she doesn’t want to pay you,” Tang Xiu spoke whilst approaching.

Anger was written on Hu Wanjun’s face. When he turned around and saw Tang Xiu, his pupils suddenly shrunk, as fear could be seen in his eyes. He heard Zhang Deqin and Zhang Yongjin’s plan before and he even had the intention to join them. However, the Zhang Family had fallen now, even the sibling’s whereabouts were unknown. He also suspected that Tang Xiu was related to that matter.

“Why are you here?”

Sneering, Tang Xiu said, “Why can’t I? She’s my friend and I just heard that someone is looking to trouble her.”

Hu Wanjun was someone who relied on his family background. Even though he knew that Tang Xiu was a powerful martial artist, he didn’t want to lose face, saying, “What’s wrong with what I said? To begin with, it’s her who’s in the wrong, not me. She’s the one who bumped into the porch and injured me. It’s perfectly justified if I want her to pay damages.”

“How much do you want for the compensation?” Tang Xiu said indifferently

Hu Wanjun stared at Chen Wei as he proudly said, “100 thousand.”

Tang Xiu took his bank card and handed it to him, saying, “There’s 1 million in this card. Ten times the compensation. Are you satisfied?”

Hu Wanjun blankly stared for a moment. He thought that Tang Xiu was afraid of him. A bit of a smiling expression was revealed on his face as he said with a nod, “Well, consider this matter finished.”

“You are satisfied, aren’t you? But I’m not. If I’m not wrong, the mark on my friend’s face should be from your slap, shouldn’t it? Her body is very precious and expensive. Whoever moves even a strand of her hair, I won’t let them go, let alone slapping her. So, you gotta pay the medical expenses for her, am I right?”

The smile on Hu Wanjun’s face coagulated. He looked at Tang Xiu with disbelief and shifted his vision toward the bank card in his hand. He suddenly sobered up and bellowed, “You want to kill me?”

“Hmph, if I wanted to kill you, your corpse would long be floating in the Pacific Ocean already. I’m giving you a chance to pay my friend’s medical expenses and end this matter. Else I will never let you go!” Tang Xiu sneered.

Hu Wanjun’s face flickered. He looked at the box at the distance, took a deep breath and asked, “How much do you want?”

“11 million,” Tang Xiu said lightly.

“Hiss…” Hu Wanjun sucked cold air, whereas disbelief was written on Chen Wei’s face.

“An hour. If you don’t send me the money within this time window to my dining box, I will consider your Hu Family to be just like the Zhang Family. You will forever disappear from Star City and even the world. Do remember, this is a threat.” Tang Xiu said.

After having said that, he grabbed Chen Wei’s wrist and walked toward the box.

As dumbstruck as she was, Chen Wei could only let herself be pulled by Tang Xiu. Had it been before, she’d probably have shaken off Tang Xiu’s hand, but now, warmness filled her heart even though there was an intense sense of crisis also mixed within.

Having gone back to their box, Chen Wei asked with a somewhat pale complexion, “Tang Xiu, do you think they will pay the compensation? You just gave him 1 million! That’s 1 million!”

“There’s no way he’ll give it back. Of course, I also don’t want him to give it back either.”

Chen Wei swallowed her own saliva and no longer spoke.

At the hallway.

Hu Wanjun held the 1 million bank card in his hand and suddenly felt that it turned into a hot potato. Originally, he was thinking to completely ignore Tang Xiu’s threat. However, what made him tremble down to his core and panic was that Tang Xiu mentioned the Zhang Family. What did he mean by saying it? Was the Zhangs’ fall… because of him?
