Jiang Shaoqing also looked helpless. "Uncle, are you going to pay me or not?
I have a birthday banquet in an hour. My parents are very proud, and this cake was ordered by them after a long time. Not only is it their heartfelt gesture, but these magnificent jewels are also my parents' status. Now that the birthday cake is gone, what will you do for my parents?"
"When my dad comes back, he'll make you pay double. If you pay me now, it'll be 4.8 million."
"I'll tell my mom when I get back that I broke the cake myself."
Jiang Shaoqing knew it was time to give Shu Cheng a way out.
Although he couldn't get it all back, he would take back whatever he could.
"4.8 million? Heh heh... Kid, you're really asking for the moon. Are you trying to extort me?"
The woman beside him couldn't help but speak. She had managed to get millions from Shu Cheng and was about to buy a house with the full payment. How could she have caused trouble today?
"Extort?" Jiang Shaoqing cried when he heard this.
Tears of grievance streamed down his face. This woman wouldn't easily return the money. What should he do?
It was all because he was too young to keep these two scoundrels in check. What should he do?
Jiang Shaoqing glanced to the side, his eyes falling on He Mingrun, who was not far away.
Hey! This uncle was wearing a world-famous brand. Damn, it was like the heavens sent a pillow when you were sleepy.
This guy would work!
"Wow! Dad, you're here. The million-dollar cake you worked so hard to order for me was broken by that uncle and sister. Dad, what should we do?"
Jiang Shaoqing ran over, hugged He Mingrun's leg, and cried out loudly.
He Mingrun: "..." Uh... When did he get a son?
And he was an extortionist!
Shu Cheng and the woman were stunned. He Mingrun's clothes were very expensive. Even if they didn't recognize the brand, they knew the clothes were costly.
He Mingrun looked down at the child hugging him. At this moment, he saw the child's face clearly and was stunned. "Damn, Xiao Mu Jiu, why have you gotten smaller?"
Jiang Shaoqing: "..."
Damn it, he met an idiot!
Uh...!
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." Does this He Mingrun have vision problems?
"Wuwuwu... Dad, what should I do, what should I do?" Jiang Shaoqing looked at him, tears streaming down his face, crying very sadly.
He Mingrun's heart softened, but he was more curious about what this little extortionist was up to.
And he looked so much like Mu Jiu Chen.
He squatted down, picked up Jiang Shaoqing, and gently patted his back.
"Don't cry, baby. Dad is here. Dad will handle this!"
Jiang Shaoqing: "..." Was this how he took advantage? But he quickly reacted, there were still important things to do.
He whispered in He Mingrun's ear, "Uncle, thank you. These two scoundrels scammed my aunt's money and are here having a good time with another woman. A man like this is simply a scumbag. Uncle, if you are a man, stand up and beat this man down, and get the money back."
When He Mingrun heard such provocative words, he felt a bit... what was it?
Stand up?
These words with double meaning made him feel... what?
Meanwhile, Mu Jiu Chen stared intently at Jiang Shaoqing's little face. This little face was the same as the one in Grandpa's video.
Xiao Fan, that idiot, hadn't found this child's whereabouts.
He didn't expect that this time, he would deliver himself.
He Mingrun, holding Jiang Shaoqing, walked towards Shu Cheng and the woman, his face stern. Looking at Shu Cheng, he thought, a scumbag must be beaten down.
"Sir, my son has already explained clearly. He only asked for half the price. If you are unwilling to compensate, then you should compensate us with the original price. We need it in forty minutes."
Shu Cheng looked at He Mingrun, feeling wronged but unable to speak.
"Sir, it was your son who went into the wrong room and knocked over the cake. Sir, I am also being framed."
"So, aren't we only asking you to pay half the money? My son's birthday is about to start, do you want my son to have no cake to eat? If that's the case, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave here."
A naked threat?
Who was He Mingrun? The helmsman of the He family, majestic and full of nobility.
Shu Cheng and the woman beside him knew at a glance that they had provoked someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Shu Cheng was furious. Today was truly unlucky.
"Xiao Ya, give me the money first. We'll have money again in the future. I promise, it will be more than this."
The money obtained from Meng Yuan, three million was with Xiao Ya. He had recently swindled another two million from another woman, which was just enough.
Xiao Ya frowned, unwilling to give it. This was money she had finally obtained.
"I want to use this money to buy a house. I've already found a house." Xiao Ya was unwilling. Once this money was given out, it might be gone forever.
That woman had been scammed so much money by Shu Cheng, she would definitely be on guard.
"Xiao Ya, hurry up."
Shu Cheng didn't want to lose face like this.
Xiao Ya said, "Didn't you say Meng Yuan is very rich? Call Meng Yuan and ask her to give it to you. She's a private detective; one business deal can earn millions. You call her now and ask her to transfer the money to you immediately."
When He Mingrun heard the name Meng Yuan, he became very sensitive.
And she was a private detective. What a coincidence.
Jiang Shaoqing whispered in his ear, "Uncle, the Meng Yuan they are talking about is my aunt. These two people colluded to scam my aunt's money. Uncle, please help me. Afterward, I'll introduce my aunt to you so she can thank you personally. In the future, if your company has any matters, you can ask my aunt for help; she's very capable."
He Mingrun smiled. His future wife, of course, was capable!
Shu Cheng looked at her and said, "She hasn't received the money yet. You heard me call her last night. She said this deal could earn millions, and she would transfer all of it to me after receiving it. Then I'll give you the money, and we'll go buy a house together. Let's resolve this matter here first."
Xiao Ya frowned, still somewhat uneasy.
But thinking about it now, that woman was truly a fool.
"Alright."
Jiang Shaoqing, upon hearing this "alright," finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, 4.8 million was successfully transferred to He Mingrun's phone.
Shu Cheng and Xiao Ya picked up the cake and jewels from the ground, closed the door forcefully, and never came out again.
The jewels were indeed real, but the money spent was not much. Some were given by Shu Cheng to Xiao Ya. Because Xiao Ya lived nearby, she had asked acquaintances to put on luxury brand logos.
These two, with guilty consciences, naturally couldn't recognize them. They would know once they examined them carefully back home.
Jiang Shaoqing asked him to transfer the money to Meng Yuan. When He Mingrun saw the name Meng Yuan after Jiang Shaoqing provided the account number, he smiled and asked in a low voice, "How much money was your aunt scammed out of?"
Jiang Shaoqing: "A total of five million."
He Mingrun frowned slightly. This child was too kind. He should have made them pay double.
However, this child was very smart. He knew that if he asked for too much, this man wouldn't be able to afford it.
He Mingrun smiled and said, "Then I'll go pick up your aunt."
Jiang Shaoqing nodded. "Thank you, uncle."
He looked down at He Mingrun's phone. "But please transfer the money to my aunt first."
He Mingrun looked at this "Little Mu Jiu," who was quite clever, and had long forgotten about the watching Mu Jiu Chen.
