Chapter 016 One Hundred Thousand Yuan
The moment she heard that Chen Yihao was responsible for the wound of the man's head which required 7 stitches,
Chen Yinuo felt weak in her knees again.
All choked up, she implored to them: "It's all my fault. I haven't discipline him properly. I will take him to acknowledge his faults and sincerely apologize to you. I promise. Could you please give him another chance for this time?"
"Apologize? My brother is bleeding from head wound because of him. Don't you tell me that your "apologies" can actually work wonders. Why don't you let me smash your head with a brick? Then you can get my apologies, too. How about that?" The dyed-haired youth snorted coldly.
To his surprise, Chen Yinuo took it seriously and replied: "That way you can let him go?"
"Uh..."
The dyed-haired youth was dumbfounded.
Soon, he found his voice and refuted: "We are civil citizens. That's not our policy!"
"That's it. Cut the crap. Reconciliation is all about money, isn't it?"
Ye Chen, who couldn't stand it any longer, interposed.
Because he had seen too much of this.
Besides, it was Chen Yihao who hurt that guy first, so even if he knew that they planned on blackmailing, there was nothing else to do but to accept.
"Ye Chen, it's none of your business, get out of here, get out of here now!"
Hearing what Ye Chen complained, Chen Yinuo stopped him anxiously.
What was she? A moron? No! Of course, she knew they wanted money.
But now in such a poor situation, where could she find any?
Her parents might still have 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, but that was saved for Yihao to purchase an aprtment for his marriage. Therefore, unless she had to, she would not let her parents know about this!
That's why she begged them so hard all along.
But she never expected that Ye Chen would suddenly comment that. No wonder she stopped him right away nervously.
"Who the hell are you? What does this have to do with you?"
The dyed-haired youth, unsure about the relationship between the two people in front of him, asked.
"I'm Chen Yihao's brother-in-law, what do you think it has to do with me?" Ye Chen retorted.
Then he turned to Chen Yinuo and explained: "Yinuo, do you really believe your begging can make them show any mercy to Yihao?"
Being asked by Ye Chen, Chen Yinuo went speechless.
Can it?
No, impossible!
That was just her hope. Or fantasy!
She was fully aware that they be persuaded by nothing but money.
But after she rent an apartment with Ye Youyou, she was left with less than 200 yuan!
"His brother-in-law? Well, it seems that you've got some sense. There's no way this can be settled without money. Now let's cut to the chase. 100,000 yuan is what we need to waive the right to give sanctions on him. Not a penny less and he's with clean record. Think about what you can get, and 100,000 yuan is not expensive at all. You should be grateful that it's us you are dealing with because you might get ripped off otherwise."
The man with dyed hair said with a gesture showing that they would never give in.
However, the figure of 100,000 yuan
almost made Chen Yinuo collapse!
100,000 yuan
was nothing but an astronomical figure for her now!
Be it around 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, she could still call a friend for borrowing. Lucky enough, she might get 2,000 to 30,000 yuan each. And then she could manage to make it.
But 100,000 yuan, where could she borrow it, and who would be willing to lend that much!
"100,000 yuan, right? Okay, here you go!"
Before Chen Yinuo started to beg them again,
Ye Chen swiftly agreed
while pouring the money in the kraft paper bag onto the table.
One stack is 10,000 yuan, and he picked up ten stacks and stacked them together.
"This is 100,000 yuan and it's time to deliver your promise now! Waive the right to sanction Chen Yihao!"
Ye Chen looked at them and ordered.
Seeing the money, the middle-aged couple were stunned with craving.
The man with dyed hair was seen with a complicated and weird expression.
He should've asked more!
"Wait, it suddenly occurs to me that 100,000 yuan is not enough. There are a few things I forgot to count in, like my brother's nutrition, mental..."
But before he could finish his sentence,
Ye Chen interrupted: "For your information, whatever you said is being recorded. If you continue, this will be extortion. And we will be the one that consider waiving the right of criminal sanctions on you or not. Listen to me, 100,000 yuan is a lot, and just accept it while it's available! Otherwise, you won't get a penny from us. It's pretty clear that Chen Yihao's case is not a serious one. Or reconciliation can't be the solution of the police!"
"In this case, even if you just won't let him go, the consequence is some time in the prison for him, but not a penny for you. So, is 100,000 yuan enough now? Do you still want to include any nutritional expenses, mental loss expenses, lost wages, and everything?"
Ye Chen's words instantly sent the middle-aged couple panicking.
How could they say goodbye to the stacks of money in front of them!
"100,000 yuan is alright. 100,000 it is!"
The middle-aged man in a worker's uniform hurriedly responded.
Saying that, he swiftly grabbed the stacks of cash and put his arms around them.
"What about his brother? Any objections?"
Ye Chen looked at the young man with dyed hair and said leisurely.
That guy was obviously frightened by Ye Chen's speech.
The previous arrogance to his attitude gone, he said: "As my dad says."
While seeing what was going on,
Chen Yinuo's mind froze,
and even after the family left, she was still in shock.
That bastard. Where the hell did he get so much money?
Wait a sec, I remembered that he went to Yunshan Internet Company empty-handed, and came out with that kraft paper bag!
Could it be that Zhang Jingshan gave him this money?
But how is this possible? Why on earth did Zhang Jingshan give him money? Besides, it's hundreds of thousands of cash we're talking about here.
Could it be that he borrowed it from Zhang Jingshan. Still impossible. A scumbag gambler like Ye Chen couldn't even borrow 100 yuan from anyone, let alone hundreds of thousands from Zhang Jingshan!
Then the next second,
Chen Yinuo was suddenly reminded of the plots of the movies and TV series. Is it because of some illicit affairs Ye Chen helped Zhang Jingshan in that he wound up with all the cash Zhang Jingshan gave him as a reward?
Or did Ye Chen pull some tricks on Zhang Jingshan and take the money?
Seeming to know what was in Chen Yinuo's head.
Ye Chen explained with a smile: "Calm the whirlwinds of your mind. It's honest money. I didn't pull any tricks on Zhang Jingshan to get it. You see, I happened to get a valuable bracelet at an incredibly low price in the antique city this morning when I ran into Mr. Zhang. He showed great interest and paid 300,000 yuan to buy it from me. But he forgot to bring his mobile phone or credit card with him when we sealed the deal, so he asked me to go to his company to get the money. I didn't expect to meet you in his company. I wasn't stalking!"
"A bargain? A bargain worth 300,000 yuan in the antique city? And made by you?"
Soon, Chen Yinuo righted herself and sneered in disbelief.
"After all I had suffered, it's high time that I got lucky." Ye Chen said.
Of course, it's still that inferiority of dreaming about getting rich overnight!
Chen Yinuo sneered: "Let's just hope you're telling the truth. You should know that Zhang Jingshan is not the one to mess with or you might be in real danger."
Right after she finished and before Ye Chen could say anything, she added: "since you got so much money from Zhang Jingshan, you should pay off the loan sharks that were chasing you down!"
"What matters now is to help Yihao out. As for the loan sharks, don't worry. I will take care of that." Ye Chen calmed her.
At this time,
the police came in and informed them: "Chen Yihao has been released. You two go pick him up!"
"Oh, okay, thank you officer, thanks a lot!"
No time for commenting on his promises,
Chen Yinuo ran hurriedly.
