Han Shifei stared coldly at the young man before him, who wore a gentle smile and an apologetic expression, his own face as dark as water.
With his eyesight, how could he not tell that Qin Chuan’s sincerity was completely feigned?
A person’s expression could be faked, but their eyes were hard to conceal, and even with deception, loopholes could be found.
Han Shifei had been in the underworld for so many years; without ability, he wouldn’t have survived this long or achieved his current status.
"A well-behaved tiger indeed!"
This was Han Shifei’s summation of Qin Chuan. This young man before him was not only ruthless but also cunning. Such an opponent was truly worthy of his attention.
There was a chance he might capsize in a ditch.
"Boss Qin really has skillful methods. Is this using his own technique against him?"
Han Shifei ignored Qin Chuan's 'apology' and retorted with a cold laugh.
He had demanded five times the original amount for the remaining fifteen thousand yuan for sand, making it eighty thousand, intending to use it as a leverage.
He hadn’t expected Qin Chuan to be even more ruthless, directly designing a trap to stop his men and demanding a hundred thousand yuan for medical expenses. In essence, after all their efforts, they would have to pay out an additional twenty thousand yuan.
No, if the cost of the sand was included, that would be thirty-five thousand!
Qin Chuan's side had only deployed a few people, with almost no significant losses.
"Yes, I've read many wuxia novels and really like the martial arts techniques in them!"
Seeing Han Shifei lay his cards on the table, Qin Chuan didn't hide anything and admitted it frankly without any hesitation.
Everyone was a clear-headed person. Since things had been done so obviously, why not speak plainly?
If you show me an inch of respect, I'll return a foot!
But if you bully me, I won't stand for it!
This was Qin Chuan's way of dealing with the world!
He wouldn't cause trouble, but he certainly wasn't afraid of it!
"The names of all those martial arts techniques in the wuxia novels are so brilliant, the authors are simply geniuses!"
"Things like 'using his own technique against him,' 'Heaven and Earth Great Shift,' 'Four ounces moves a thousand pounds,' and so on, are all fantastic!"
Han Shifei's eyebrows twitched. How had he never seen them?
I may not have read much, but don't bully me!
But clearly, this was not the time to argue about that. Han Shifei, too lazy to bicker with Qin Chuan, mocked, "Boss Qin has such eloquence, rattling off so many idioms!"
"Let's get back to the point. Are you going to detain all of us if we don't pay you?"
Qin Chuan quickly shook his head, "How is that possible? Illegally detaining people is against the law. I never do anything illegal!"
Han Shifei's brow relaxed slightly upon hearing this, only to hear Qin Chuan continue, "At most, we'll detain some vehicles, like that Wrangler parked outside!"
"Even though it's second-hand, it's close to the ten thousand yuan compensation, which is barely acceptable!"
Swish!
Almost as soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Han Shifei's expression changed drastically.
He rushed to the construction site entrance, where the Wrangler was parked, and then saw a scene that made his teeth gnash in anger.
At some point, someone had already sat in the driver's seat of the parked Wrangler, leisurely smoking a cigarette. Wisps of smoke drifted out of the lowered car window, and the person inside looked incredibly at ease.
The person inside the Wrangler was none other than Zheng Chengdao.
Perhaps no one had expected anyone would dare to covet the "King Han's" car. The Wrangler’s doors weren’t even locked, and the keys were still in the ignition, which greatly facilitated Zheng Chengdao.
"Boss, these guys are too foolish. They didn't even lock the car doors, and the keys are still inside."
Seeing Qin Chuan emerge, Zheng Chengdao greeted him with a smile.
"If you hadn't instructed me, I would have actually wanted to get into that Mercedes!"
Han Shifei, who had been rushing over in a rage, slammed on the brakes, quickly turned his head to look at his Mercedes, and discovered that, like the Wrangler, its doors were unlocked, and the keys were inside.
"Damn it!"
Han Shifei cursed the driver in his heart, completely forgetting that he himself was driving this time, not a driver.
Without further ado, Han Shifei quickly opened the Mercedes door, yanked out the keys, and then locked the car with the remote, his face full of caution.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished, he heard a voice.
"Boss Han, don't worry, your Mercedes is too expensive for us to afford!"
"This Wrangler is just right!"
Qin Chuan said with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of ridicule, as if watching a monkey show.
Han Shifei’s face turned grim. He felt he had been tricked again. Today, every step of the way, he had been at the mercy of the other party.
Such an experience was almost a humiliation for him.
Han Shifei felt he needed to calm down. Otherwise, if this continued, he would be completely controlled by this brat.
This was a great humiliation for him, especially if it got out.
"Qin Chuan, do you know how much this Wrangler costs? You want to claim it for ten thousand yuan?"
Han Shifei suppressed his anger and said.
This time, he had stumped Qin Chuan. He really didn’t know the price of the Wrangler before him. Looking at its gleaming paintwork and new interior, it clearly looked like it hadn't been bought long ago.
Nine-tenths new!
"You don't know, do you?"
Han Shifei, as if finally finding his advantage, pontificated, "I specifically went to the capital and spent twenty-eight thousand yuan through connections to buy this Wrangler!"
"It's one of the first batch of the latest improved models, difficult to obtain even with money!"
"It hasn't even been three months since I bought it, and you want to claim it for ten thousand yuan. Are you out of your mind?"
Qin Chuan was uncharacterently embarrassed. In his previous life, he wasn't a car enthusiast; cars were merely a mode of transportation to him, so he never paid attention to them.
He didn't expect Han Shifei to take the opportunity to brag. Damn it!
However, it was difficult for Qin Chuan to admit he was wrong, especially in this situation.
"I'm not crazy!"
Qin Chuan replied righteously, "Who has ever heard of the value of something being less than the original when it's being held as collateral or security?"
"Boss Han, you either give me ten thousand yuan in medical fees now, or from now on, I'll be driving this Wrangler. When I feel like I've driven enough to cover ten thousand yuan, I'll return it to you!"
Han Shifei was so angry he almost exploded. If Qin Chuan really drove this car away until he felt he had driven enough for ten thousand yuan, would he still be able to get it back? Or would it be gone forever?
"Qin Chuan, you're determined to get this ten thousand yuan today, aren't you?"
Han Shifei gritted his teeth. He couldn’t remember the last time he had been so humiliated. It was all the fault of that damned bald man, whose screw-up had put him in such a passive position.
Han Shifei shifted all the blame to the bald man!
In broad daylight, he couldn't even fight, and on the opponent's turf, he was at a disadvantage everywhere. It was too frustrating.
"Boss Han, I don't like what you're saying. Was I the one who started the trouble today?"
Qin Chuan's expression also lost its warmth, and he said sternly.
"You were the one who tried to extort me first. You insisted on turning fifteen thousand yuan for sand into over five times that amount, making it eighty thousand!"
"It made it difficult for me to maintain face with my brothers!"
"If I didn't retaliate, how could I continue to be a boss in the future, how could I work on this construction site?"
Han Shifei was speechless, his face as black as ink after a long pause. He pointed at Qin Chuan and said, "Fine! Very good!! Qin, I admit defeat today! You are a better player!"
With that, he immediately took out his phone and made a call: "Uncle! Bring me ten thousand yuan! Deliver it to the Yaoshi Real Estate construction site!!"
