Chang Lei immediately opened his mouth wide, asking for two hundred million right off the bat. Judging by his arrogant tone, it was as if the money was already guaranteed to fall into his pocket.
"Wow, that guy has a huge nerve!"
"He's asking for two hundred million just like that, as if money grows on trees!"
"His girlfriend is really precious, worth that much money!"
"This guy actually dares to ask for it, isn't he afraid his tongue will be cut off by the wind!"
Some onlookers started whispering and discussing among themselves.
Cheng Xiaofan said with a hint of sarcasm, "Chang Lei, don't you think two hundred million is a bit of an exaggeration?"
Chang Lei thought Cheng Xiaofan was finally going to back down.
His tone became even more arrogant as he shouted, "You think it's a lot?"
"I don't think it's a lot at all."
"Look at my girlfriend's face,"
"And her lovable figure,"
"Her fair and tender skin,"
"Who wouldn't like it?"
"So many directors have offered me huge sums to poach my girlfriend,"
"Considering the market value, I even feel two hundred million is too little!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking.
It erupted in laughter from everyone present.
Someone immediately said, "That's too much, are those directors blind to want to hire a woman like her for a film?"
Chang Lei was furious!
"Who's talking nonsense?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing his ferocious expression, the people present immediately fell silent.
He then yelled at Cheng Xiaofan, "Stop being so wishy-washy! Two hundred million, not a penny less."
"Transfer it to me immediately through mobile banking!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but want to laugh.
This was a trick he often used, he never expected someone else to copy it.
He narrowed his eyes, looking at the other person as if he were a clown, and said with a smile, "What if I don't give a single cent?"
Chang Lei immediately roared, "You dare not to give it!"
"I'll post everything that happened today online,"
"And let the whole world know that Zhuxi Village is a bandit's den,"
"My girlfriend went there, got paralyzed from eating, and they didn't offer any compensation. Then, who would dare to come to Zhuxi Village!"
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze immediately turned cold.
He said coldly, "Chang Lei, you have quite the guts,"
"Daring to come to my Zhuxi Village to extort us, and acting so righteous!"
"Qu Meilin, stop pretending to lie on the ground!"
He casually waved his hand, and a surge of energy entered Qu Meilin's body.
Qu Meilin screamed in pain and jumped up from the ground, standing there.
"You—"
Chang Lei exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, "Qu Meilin,"
"Why are you standing up?"
Qu Meilin said, completely bewildered, "I suddenly felt a sharp pain all over my body, and then I jumped up!"
"Did your drug fail?"
Chang Lei shouted, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Suddenly,
He realized he and Qu Meilin had let it slip.
He quickly glared at Qu Meilin and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What drug are you talking about?"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered,
and said, "Chang Lei, stop pretending!"
"The drug Qu Meilin mentioned, isn't it Hypnosis Mist?"
"You bought it from abroad through someone else,"
"Anyone who takes it will experience temporary paralysis."
"After you obtained Hypnosis Mist, the first time you extorted two million from Xilai Le Hotel in Yuncheng, you tasted the sweetness,"
"And then you came to my Zhuxi Village, wanting to extort a large sum,"
"And then flee abroad to live a life of luxury!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Chang Lei yelled, both angry and anxious, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
What bothered him the most was that there was no antidote for Hypnosis Mist.
Qu Meilin shouldn't have been able to stand up from the ground.
Why did she stand up?
Was it over?
Cheng Xiaofan said with a cold laugh,
"I know you're very frustrated about how Qu Meilin stood up."
"To tell you the truth, the moment I first saw the two of you, I knew you were conspiring to defraud."
"Just now, I used my energy to break the effect of the drug on Qu Meilin,"
"Coupled with the pain from the energy entering her body, it made her jump up inadvertently."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Chang Lei knew that staying here any longer would be detrimental.
He grabbed Qu Meilin's arm and said, "Meilin, let's leave here."
Cheng Xiaofan shifted his body and blocked their path.
He said with a cold smile, "You want to leave? Is it that easy?"
Chang Lei became anxious and shouted, "I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place anymore,"
"What, are you trying to keep us here because you like my girlfriend?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "I'm not interested in your girlfriend at all. However, as far as I know, the police have been looking for you."
Chang Lei trembled upon hearing this.
He stammered, "Cheng, what do you mean by that?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Chang Lei, if I'm not mistaken,"
"Your real name is Chang Xiaoping. Seven years ago,"
"You lost heavily in gambling and killed three people in a row,"
"And have been on the run ever since. Because you shared similar interests, you met Qu Meilin, and together you started a life of extortion and blackmail."
"You can't deny this, can you?"
Chang Lei's face broke out in a sweat upon hearing this.
He suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate and quickly tried to control his sphincter,
but it was too late, and urine wet his crotch.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but sneer,
and said, "What, did you wet your pants from fear?"
Chang Lei subconsciously asked, "How did you know about those things?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I saw it through the 'wang qi shu' of traditional Chinese medicine, from the aura around you."
"Everything bad you've done will be revealed in your aura."
"Li Mingxi—"
"Master, here!" Li Mingxi stepped forward and responded loudly.
Cheng Xiaofan instructed, "Call the police station and tell Dao Dahai to bring some officers to Hu Xin Island,"
"Say that we've caught a murderer who is wanted nationwide!"
"Don't make the call!"
Chang Lei was terrified and lunged forward to snatch Li Mingxi's phone.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yixin rushed forward and slapped him, sending him tumbling head over heels.
Chang Lei lay on the ground, touching his rapidly swelling face, and immediately burst into tears.
How could this woman be so fierce? One slap sent him flying backward?
What made him even more terrified was Cheng Xiaofan.
What kind of eyes did this guy have,
that he could see things people did years ago?
Chang Lei's teeth chattered non-stop.
He never dreamed that by coming to Zhuxi Village,
he wouldn't gain anything but would provoke such a terrifying existence!
Scammers hire blind fortune tellers to predict their fate,
but he hadn't even consulted the almanac.
If he had known this would be the outcome,
he would never have come here, even if it meant death!
"Mr. Cheng, spare me!"
"I promise I'll never cause trouble in Zhuxi Village again!"
"I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to die!"
Chang Lei crawled up from the ground and knelt before Cheng Xiaofan, begging for mercy.
