"You're wrong? What did you do wrong?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"I was wrong to deliberately discard the watch."
"So the eight million is not being compensated?"
"No compensation, no compensation," Wang Hu said quickly.
"Then what about my aunt and my family being frightened?"
"I'll compensate, I'll compensate."
"How do you plan to compensate?"
"Mr. Guo, however you say I should compensate, I will."
"Didn't you just say eight million? Then let it be eight million. How about that?"
"This, this, Mr. Guo, please spare me this time.
I'll never dare to do it again." Wang Hu said with a dejected face.
"Are you going to pay or should I have you sent in?"
"No, no, Mr. Guo. I'll pay, I will definitely pay. Please let me make a phone call."
Seeing that Guo Xuyang did not speak, Wang Hu dialed a number.
"Dad, please have someone transfer eight million to me. I have an urgent need, so don't ask."
"Alright. It looks like you've received quite a bit," Guo Xuyang said, watching Wang Hu hang up.
"Mr. Guo, it's not what you think. This is all borrowed."
"Don't tell me so much nonsense.
I don't care if you borrowed it or embezzled it, as long as you compensate my aunt with this eight million, this matter will be settled.
Otherwise, I will make you regret it."
Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"Immediately, immediately. I'll give it to you as soon as it's transferred."
Before Wang Hu could finish speaking, his phone rang.
"Young Master Wang, have you received the money?"
"Just a moment. Let me check. Received, thank you."
"You're welcome. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Wang Hu didn't have time to be polite and hung up the phone.
"Mr. Guo, please give me your account number, and I'll transfer it to you right away."
"Aunt, please give me your bank card number," Guo Xuyang said to Xu Wenli.
"Um, yours will do, I forgot mine," Xu Wenli said.
"Uncle, what's your bank card number? Give it to me."
"Yangzi, let's forget about this. We haven't suffered any losses," Guo Yixiang said.
"You don't need to say more. Just give me the bank card number."
"My bank card number is..." Guo Yixiang recited a string of numbers.
"Got it?" Guo Xuyang asked Wang Hu.
"I'm entering it now. Done, transferred. Have you seen it arrive?"
Before Wang Hu finished speaking, Guo Yixiang's phone beeped with a text message notification.
Guo Yixiang picked up his phone and said, "The money has arrived."
"That's good. Stop having such crooked thoughts in the future. This broken watch is worth ten million?
It's good that I didn't report you for fraud. Get out."
Guo Xuyang said, looking at Wang Hu.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, thank you!" Wang Hu said and quickly ran out of the boutique.
What a melodramatic scene, being extorted for eight million and still having to thank the person.
Who would believe it if they heard it.
"Yangzi, we can't take this money. I'll transfer it to you later," Guo Yixiang said.
"Uncle, this is compensation for Aunt's false accusation.
Please accept it with peace of mind. He won't dare to come looking for trouble."
Guo Xuyang knew what his uncle was worried about.
"That's not good. Look, he even bought us clothes and shoes and gave us money."
Guo Xuyang was amused by his words.
"Uncle, buying clothes and shoes was my arrangement, and it was something I should do.
This money being given to you by someone else was not my arrangement.
It's because he was blind and provoked us."
"No matter what, I have to thank you.
If you hadn't intervened, this young man could have really worn us old folks out."
"People like him are still a minority.
He probably saw you coming to this store and thought you weren't short of money. How is it? Have you finished shopping?"
"We've finished shopping. We were just about to leave when this incident happened," Xiao Yun said.
"Then shall we go back?" Guo Xuyang looked at his parents.
"Let's go back. Xiao Yun bought us several sets of clothes, including shoes, underwear, and down jackets," Wu Shangqing said.
"Then let's go."
Everyone returned to Guo Xuyang's home.
"Yangzi, is your design the same as Xiao Hui's?" Guo Yixiang asked.
"Uncle, these villas were developed by President Cheng.
He left me two when he saw that I didn't have a house.
When Brother Hui gets married, you two can move over to live here, right?
And my parents can move over too, so you'll have company to chat with."
"President Cheng not only left you two but also gave one to Xiao Hui. That's a huge favor."
"I remember it all. President Cheng is not an outsider. The hotel where Brother Hui's wedding banquet was held was also given to me by President Cheng.
We are all shareholders of the same company and earn money together.
He's well-connected in the provincial capital, and he handles all the small matters.
The young man who tried to extort us today had a bad experience with me before and was arrested by Xiao Yu."
"No wonder that young man wilted when he saw you? So you disciplined him," Xiao Yun said.
"Last time he tried to take advantage of Xiao Xi, and I caught him.
Xiao Xi wanted to deal with the old man as well, but I couldn't bear to.
Thinking that it wasn't easy for him to reach this point, I stopped her." Guo Xuyang said.
"Who are you talking about?" Li Minxi asked.
"Wang Hu. The son of the number one official.
Today, he tried to extort my aunt at the clothing boutique, and I taught him a lesson."
"A leopard can't change its spots. I'll make a phone call."
Li Minxi said and made a call.
"Yangyang, I've been bullied in the provincial capital, and you have to help me get revenge."
"Oh my, the sun rose from the west today. You're only thinking of calling me now.
Your old man has called me several times, and I told him I don't know where you are. Who bullied you?"
A teasing voice came from the other end.
"The son of the provincial city's number one official almost got me.
His old man is also a scoundrel. With one phone call, he got eight million transferred."
"Eight million? That's quite a sum. What do you want to do?"
"If such a corrupt official isn't removed, who knows how many more people he'll harm in the future. Just send him in."
"That's ruthless. But I like it. Wait for good news.
When are you planning to come back? If you don't come back soon, your father will have to resort to special measures."
"Don't worry about him. He wouldn't dare. If he dares, I'll disown him."
"Are you still with Yangzi? You're not serious, are you?"
"Of course. Just prepare a big red envelope. I'm hanging up."
Li Minxi hung up the phone and found everyone looking at her.
People might think she was bragging, but Guo Xuyang knew she wasn't lying.
"Who was that? Chatting so animatedly."
"Lin Ziyang. Her friend is in charge of dealing with these corrupt officials."
"Amazing. With one sentence, you got the guy's hat removed."
"It's still too early to say. Let's wait for good news."
If Wang Hu knew that his father would be sent to jail because of today's attempted extortion, he would never have done it.
There is no regret medicine in the world. Mistakes must be punished.
