Cao Dehui's tone was extremely flattering at the moment.
Who would have thought that a man accustomed to wielding power would speak like this one day?
There was simply no way around it; if such a video were exposed, his future would be ruined.
Therefore, Cao Dehui gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Five million!"
The other party was not accustomed to haggling.
"This? It's too much. How could I have so much money?"
Cao Dehui, who had been a bit tipsy, sobered up considerably.
Although he was known as "Rich Man Cao," his net worth was only a million, far from as wealthy as people imagined.
Besides, even if he had the money, as an experienced person, he wouldn't reveal everything immediately; that would only lead to a worse outcome.
The other party, while fond of money, didn't prioritize it at this moment.
The reason he chose Cao Dehui was that he happened to encounter a task issued by the Fu Guo System.
In order to quickly understand the use of Fu Guo, he accepted the order.
Accepting the order was one thing, but he had no intention of bestowing the Fu Guo upon Cao Dehui.
Whatever Cao Dehui did was his business, but the Fu Guo itself had to be taken by him.
Cao Dehui couldn't quite grasp why he was so angry, why he had so violently smashed the student with the wine bottle.
His actual target of anger was someone else, yet he...
He must have been drunk to do such a foolish thing.
The other party, who had seen his fair share of bloody storms, didn't care about all this mess. Soudan Novel Network.
He was determined to take the money.
"Hahaha, what, you want to renege on the debt?"
The other party laughed, but there was no hint of amusement in his laughter.
The Grim Reaper's laughter always hid a blade in the wind.
Even if it couldn't kill you, it would leave your face scarred.
Cao Dehui trembled with fear, but he still said with a determined tone:
"Three million, I won't bargain this time!"
"Clap, clap, clap!"
The other party applauded again, this time with a slow and heavy rhythm.
It seemed like a threat, or perhaps an agreement.
"As expected of Rich Man Cao, you're good at calculations. Deal! Transfer or check?"
"I... I'll pay cash, but you'll have to come to my place to get it!"
As Cao Dehui spoke, an idea formed in his mind.
The other party didn't waste any more words and followed Cao Dehui directly to his residence, a small courtyard nearby.
On the way, while pretending to check his phone, he had already sent a text message to a friend in the underworld.
After all, he was an experienced man; being extorted like this was pathetic.
He did have cash, and a lot of it.
It had been stored at his home, untouched and hardly spent.
This underworld friend was someone he had met by chance and was well-known in Sandong City.
The reason for befriending such a person was that one needed certain means to deal with unruly students or rivals.
Otherwise, his path to wealth would not be smooth.
The two walked out of the small restaurant one after the other, appearing to be unacquainted.
Regarding the injured student, Cao Dehui had given the waiter two hundred yuan before leaving, asking him to call the hospital to handle it.
His mind, however, was entirely focused on how to deal with the young man following him.
To get involved in society at such a young age would come at a price.
As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Cao Dehui's steps became steady and even a little smug.
As soon as the other party stepped through the courtyard gate, he immediately shouted:
"Guards, seize him, and beat him to death!"
The other party remained unperturbed; a mere mortal posed no threat to him.
"Hmph, you dare!"
The other party sneered and said.
The men, hearing Cao Dehui's command, immediately launched into a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Ah!" "Ouch!" "Damn!"
Various sounds mixed together, indicating a chaotic brawl.
Cao Dehui listened with immense satisfaction, "See if you dare extort me anymore, you arrogant punk!"
However, after the chaotic fight, the young man was still standing outside the crowd, completely unharmed.
He was smoking a cigar, enjoying the spectacle of the frantic dance.
If he hadn't been the Grim Reaper, perhaps he would have died on the spot.
By the time Cao Dehui realized what was happening, everyone was tired from fighting and shouting.
"You, you're hitting the wrong person!"
Cao Dehui shouted in anger.
But the bald man leading the group immediately bowed when he saw the other party standing there and asked, "Boss, what are you doing here?"
"Baozi, have you lost your mind? Calling him boss?"
Cao Dehui said, a little surprised.
At the same time, a sense of inexplicable tension washed over him.
"Do as he commanded you just now!"
The other party spoke.
Baldy Bao didn't hesitate and ordered his subordinates, "Quick! Beat him to death!"
"Don't, don't, Baozi, Brother Bao, Grandpa Bao, this is all a misunderstanding! Let me explain, don't..."
Before he could even finish the word "hit," he was already knocked to the ground by the others.
Although Cao Dehui was about 1.8 meters tall, he was a scholar, thin and frail, and with so many people attacking him, he fell to the ground in no time.
"How much did you say you were going to give me?"
The other party asked coldly.
"Three hundred... three million!" Cao Dehui said with effort.
"Where is the money?"
"In, in my house's..."
Cao Dehui deliberately stretched out his words.
He was also conflicted, wondering if he should tell them.
The other party had little patience; a look from him made Baldy Bao immediately step forward and kick Cao Dehui, who had just sat up, back to the ground.
Cao Dehui coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Speak quickly! Or we'll take your life!"
This time, the other party didn't speak; Baldy Bao asked on his behalf.
"It's in... my house's... cellar!"
Baldy Bao ordered two subordinates to carry Cao Dehui in the direction he indicated.
When they arrived at Cao Dehui's house, the other party chose not to go inside. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to move a chair into the courtyard and sit down.
After Baldy Bao confirmed the location of the money, he immediately came to report to the other party.
The other party directly ordered:
"Take it all away!"
Cao Dehui never imagined that his little scheme would cost him his entire fortune.
The money in the cellar was more than 3 million, all in stacks of cash, filling an entire van.
Even Baldy Bao's eyes lit up; he had never seen so much cash.
But in front of the other party, he dared not be presumptuous.
"Okay, boss, I'll get it done immediately!"
Baldy Bao organized people to carry the money, while the other party focused his thoughts on the Fu Guo.
This time, he deliberately tried to eat the Fu Guo. The previous experience of it disappearing upon contact made him cautious.
Cao Dehui's Fu Guo was wrapped in a piece of Heavenly Court paper with a golden edge.
However, its shape was slightly different from Fang Huairan's Fu Guo packaging.
It was a square gift box, with a dominant color of deep red.
