Zhang Wenbo was quick to retrieve the money, arriving less than half an hour later!
Ten thousand yuan might be impossible for an ordinary family to gather, even by selling their children, but for Han Shifei, it was effortless.
Upon his arrival, Zhang Wenbo sensed the tense atmosphere and shrewdly pulled Han Shifei aside to inquire about the situation.
He had other matters to attend to today and hadn't been with Han Shifei, so he was unaware of everything that had transpired.
However, once he understood the circumstances, Zhang Wenbo's face darkened like ink, his small eyes fixed on Qin Chuan with chilling intensity.
Qin Chuan was chatting and smoking with Zheng Chengdao and his elder brother Qin Yang, who had come out worried about the situation. All three noticed Zhang Wenbo but collectively chose to ignore him.
The old man's marksmanship was indeed impressive, but in this day and age, where was his gun? If he had one, why not use it?
A few minutes later, Han Shifei and Zhang Wenbo approached together.
Zhang Wenbo stared at Qin Chuan menacingly. As he was about to speak, Qin Chuan cut him off with a look of disgust, "Old man, if you're here to threaten me, don't waste our time!"
"If we brothers were afraid, none of this would have happened today!"
Zhang Wenbo was momentarily speechless, his old face growing even more unsightly. He had indeed intended to utter a few harsh words.
"Uncle Bo, don't say anything more!"
"We'll give him this ten thousand yuan. We admit defeat today!"
Han Shifei was pragmatic. Seeing the situation, he directly tossed a black plastic bag over.
Qin Chuan smiled and caught it, opening it to reveal thick stacks of cash, exactly ten thousand yuan.
"Boss Han is generous!"
Qin Chuan gave him a thumbs-up.
Han Shifei's face was ashen, and he sneered, "Hurry up and spend this ten thousand yuan. I fear you won't have another chance like this!"
Qin Chuan acted as if he hadn't understood the threat, appearing nonchalant.
"Brother Dao, go! Tell the people inside to stand down!"
Zheng Chengdao jumped down from the Wrangler, a hint of regret on his face, as if he regretted not getting his hands on the vehicle.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but kick him, laughing and scolding, "Greedy!"
He also wished he could have seized the opportunity to get his hands on the Wrangler. But as Han Shifei had said, the vehicle had cost a hefty two hundred and eighty thousand yuan when new, and it had only been three months. Twenty-five thousand yuan might not even be enough to buy it. To use it to settle the debt would have been a pipe dream. If he had pushed Han Shifei too hard, it might have resulted in a mutual destruction.
It was best to know when to stop.
There would be plenty of time in the future.
After Zheng Chengdao entered the construction site, the tense situation inside was soon resolved. Although many didn't know exactly what had happened, it was a good thing that fighting was averted.
Han Shifei's men rushed out of the construction site to find their boss. Among them, Baldy ran the fastest, his face filled with excitement, believing his boss was invincible and had easily secured eighty thousand yuan today!
Although the subsequent events had been a bit turbulent, since their boss had personally intervened, he was sure it had been resolved.
"B-slap!!!"
The crisp and loud sound of a slap once again froze Baldy's expression. He hadn't even finished shouting "boss" before his face was filled with bewilderment, wondering why he had inexplicably received another slap.
"Useless!"
"I'll settle with you when we get back!"
Han Shifei cursed Baldy with a grim face, turned, and got into his Mercedes.
Zhang Wenbo also cast a cold glance at Baldy, got into the car with a dark expression, and remained silent, leaving the stunned henchmen to stand in the wind.
A long time later, the group of henchmen finally came to their senses and quickly followed suit.
"Let's go, it's over!"
Qin Chuan, standing at the entrance, beckoned to Zheng Chengdao, and they walked into the construction site together.
"Xiao Chuan!"
"Boss!"
"Boss Qin..."
As soon as they entered, calls rang out, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Chuan.
The confrontation between Qin Chuan and Han Shifei had happened outside, so apart from Zheng Chengdao and Qin Yang, who was keeping watch nearby, everyone else didn't know the final outcome.
After all, they had just handed over eighty thousand yuan, a considerable sum.
Seeing the worried eyes before him, Qin Chuan grinned and announced loudly, "Everyone, rest assured, it's all over!"
"We spent eighty thousand yuan, but we ended up getting back one hundred thousand!"
"This deal isn't a loss!"
As Qin Chuan's words fell, cheers erupted on the construction site, and everyone was elated, their morale soaring.
Many knew how troublesome Han Shifei was, and yet today, they had managed to snatch a victory from his jaws. This was a momentous and significant event for the entire team.
It proved that Han Shifei was only human and could be defeated!
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
Qin Chuan walked over to the old man, whose face was covered in blood, his expression full of concern. The old man's appearance was indeed quite serious, with scabs all over his face.
"I... I'm fine!"
The old man seemed surprised by Qin Chuan's personal attention and became quite nervous.
"Boss, don't worry! He's not injured at all!"
At this moment, Bai Xiaoguang, who was standing nearby, stepped forward as if seeking praise, grinning, "Because the blood on his face isn't his!"
"Whose is it then?"
Qin Chuan was genuinely puzzled.
Many onlookers also showed curious expressions.
Bai Xiaoguang chuckled, "When I found Grandpa, I happened to encounter a large rooster on the road. I killed it and secretly hid the chicken blood in a small bottle."
"When Baldy swung his fist, I seized the opportunity to splash the chicken blood on Grandpa's face and then blocked Baldy's punch for him..."
He finished with a knowing look.
Everyone suddenly understood, followed by uproarious laughter. So Baldy had been wrongly accused, more wronged than Dou E herself!
Bai Xiaoguang also laughed triumphantly.
Upon learning the whole story, Qin Chuan chuckled inwardly. Such a brilliant maneuver was typical of Bai Xiaoguang. He reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Brother Ribs, well done!"
Bai Xiaoguang spoke of it easily, but only those in the know understood how difficult it was to deceive Baldy. It required incredible speed, a feat that perhaps only Bai Xiaoguang among the entire team could accomplish. Others would find it very challenging.
"Everyone worked hard today!"
"Come, come, come, collect your bonuses from me!"
"Everyone who participated gets paid!"
Qin Chuan opened the black plastic bag he was holding, and instantly, the atmosphere became truly lively.
Everyone was captivated by the thick stacks of cash, their breathing quickening!
