“Meat. . . Meat, grandma, meat…” Ku’er struggled, swaying the burned arms, trying to break away from her grandma to pick up the meat on the ground.

“This kid. . .” I felt that there was something stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t bring myself to say what I wanted to say.

“Mhm,” the young gardener who knew what I wanted to ask looked at the old woman and the kid and said with sympathy, “In a traffic accident, both of Ku’er’s parents died. Only she was lucky and she survived, but. . . Seeing the death of her parents with her own eyes, this kind of shock was too great for a child. . .” With a wry smile, the young man murmured again, “actually, how many people can withstand such a blow? Maybe forgetting it all is a kind of blessing for Ku’er. ”

Suddenly someone in the crowd said, “Tsk, so she is a fool. . .”

“Who the fuck said that? !” I knew why I was angry, but I couldn’t explain the complexity I had in my heart. There were too many feelings mixing together, I didn’t know how to vent them all.

Wasn’t Long Xiaotian very rich? His birthday banquet would cost him at least a few millions, right? However, why were there such unfortunate people in his manor? I didn’t understand, nor could I figure it out, so I felt very irritated!

My anger scared everyone, including Ku’er. The crowd instantly fell silent. I knew that I might be just a wild dog that only bit people in their eyes, but I didn’t mind. In fact, I even hoped I could become a vicious dog so I could bite those bastards who were numb to human nature.

The old woman glanced at me gratefully. She didn’t know who I was. Maybe I was the humblest person in her mind.

Being deceived by the appearance, she probably thought that I who was willing to help her was someone much nobler than Young Master Zhang. So she bowed to me first and then turned to Zhang Mingjie, “Sir, please don’t get angry at Ku’er. There. . . There is. . . There is a problem with her head, she doesn’t understand many things. . .”

“Nonsense!” I interrupted the old woman and said furiously, “There is a problem with her head? She doesn’t understand many things? Nonsense! She understands more than those people!”

I didn’t want to see the old woman’s reaction, because that kind of gratitude was actually an insult to Ku’er. I looked at Zhang Mingjie angrily and sneered coldly, “Young Master Zhang, will you get angry at this little girl?”

Like me, Zhang Mingjie only realized that the kid he had been beating up was actually a girl at this moment.

Feeling embarrassed, he hurriedly said, “no, no. I didn’t know that she is a girl earlier, and she is a retar. . . I mean, why would I get angry at her?”

While saying it, he also moved back several steps. The way he looked at Ku’er was like seeing a little beast, there was a faint of fear and a faint of disgust. I knew what caused him to have this kind of reaction, it was the absolute disdain.

“Is that so? As I expected, Young Master Zhang is not an unreasonable person. Hehe, one who errs unknowingly need not be held responsible. So I understand it, but. . .” The anger in my heart was burning.

My tone suddenly changed and I said with a grin, “You’ve already injured her by mistake, you think saying sorry would be enough? At least, you should compensate her for the psychical and mental damages you caused to her, right? What do you think, another Young Master Zhang?”

When I asked the last question, I was actually speaking to Zhang Peiwen. Seeing that my eyes were full of threats, Zhang Peiwen swallowed hard and responded cowardly, “Yes, he should, he should. . .”

His response was completely unexpected by Zhang Mingjie.

The old woman only hoped that Zhang Mingjie would not get angry at them. How would she dare to ask for any compensation? She hurriedly and nervously said, “No need, no need. . .”

“Why not? Does Young Master Zhang look like the type of person who would refuse to take responsibility and accept his mistakes?” I interrupted the old woman and said with an even more emphatic tone while smiling, “Am I right? Young Master Zhang?”

Zhang Mingjie had lingering fears when he heard the words medical expenses and mental damage expenses. He was already sweating like a pig.

Hearing me openly blackmailing him, who wouldn’t be surprised? It was a shame that what I asked was ‘reasonable’, and even if Zhang Mingjie was trembling with anger, what could he do to me? Besides, his younger brother, who was afraid of going to jail, also said that he should pay as well. Was he going to argue with his younger brother in front of the other people as well? Zhang Mingjie had no choice but to accept it. Seeing him suffering in silence, it finally relieved my irritation a little bit.

Zhang Mingjie gritted his teeth and was silent for more than ten seconds before he finally forced himself to make an awkward smile, “How much does Young Master Chu think I should pay?”

I squatted down next to Ku’er. The little girl was not afraid of bad people. But she actually showed a certain degree of fear towards me, which made me very sad. The little girl couldn’t help but lean into her grandma’s arms, the only open eye gleaming with alarm. . .

Er… Although I did not dare to say that I was a popular guy. I was quite popular amongst little girls, right?

For example, Yuan Yuan, Dongfang, Yike, those little girls always like to stay around me. But this girl was actually scared of me. This kind of reminded me of Chu Yuan when she was young. . .

I smiled and stroked Ku’er’s head. This was the skill that I mastered after practicing it many times on Chu Yuan. Even during the time when Chu Yuan did not get along well with me, she still couldn’t be able to resist it, let alone this little girl?

Sure enough, Ku’er raised her neck slightly, her face was filled with comfort, it instantly made me feel very proud of myself.

I pretended to check Ku’er’s injury and said. “Her feet are cut, shoulders are dislocated, and arms are burned. From these injuries, it is not hard to tell how hard Young Master Zhang’s kicks were, so probably she also has very serious internal injuries. But those things are not important. What is important is that her face also has scratches. Her face will be marred by scars. Although Ku’er is young, she will eventually grow up and marry someone in the future. Appearance is extremely important to a girl, so she will probably need to find good plastic surgery. Regarding this, plastic surgeries overseas are much better at doing it. And then to recover, she will probably need to spend some time in places like Hawaii to recover from the surgery and soothe her mental trauma. Although everything is getting much more expensive every year, I think one million should be enough. But if young master Zhang wants to give more, I don’t think Ku’er would mind it. She probably could use extra money to buy two sets of new clothes.”

Even Guo Xiang and Xingyu almost fell over, not to mention the Zhang family’s brothers and the crowd of onlookers.

The old woman almost fainted.

Fortunately, she was supported by the gardener who also looked at me like I was a monster, so she didn’t fall to the ground.

Zhang Peiwen had just agreed that his elder brother should pay the compensation, but he didn’t expect that the compensation I asked would be this expensive. So he who felt the bitter anger the most hurriedly said, “Young Master Chu, why don’t you ask us to rob the bank?! She burned her arms herself, my elder brother only kicked her. So isn’t it a bit too much to ask for a million?!”

“Too much? If your elder brother did not kick her, would she use her arms to protect it? If she didn’t protect with her arms, would she burn her arms? You are really funny, but I don’t have much sense of humor, so don’t make such deliberate bargaining jokes with me, okay? Haha—” I smiled sweetly at him and said.

Zhang Peiwen was trembling with anger, and Zhang Mingjie’s face went pale while his lips were twitching. Both of them were glaring at me like wild dogs, wanting to jump towards me to bite me. It was a shame that the case in which Li Qi and Hong Tao hired someone to harm me has not yet been judged. I could still retract my testimony at any time, so he dared not to provoke me at this time.

I was not extorting money from them, I was just negotiating terms with them, seeking compensation for Ku’er. Although the amount was slightly higher, I never said that they couldn’t bargain. Of course, it depended on whether the two Young Master Zhang dared to negotiate with me or not.

“It’s only one million. It is not much for Young Master Zhang, right? You can easily save it by not going to the french restaurant two or three times. Besides, . .” I turned to Zhang Peiwen and asked implicitly, “Your Audi is worth more than a million, right? I heard that you accidentally broke it a while ago and you are about to replace it with a new car. So you can just sell your old car. Not only would it not hurt you, but it would also help you save a very big space in your garage. Unlike me, even if I want to sell, all I have is some drugs and videos. I wonder how much those things would worth? What do you think? Do you think those things would be worth five million or seven million? Or maybe more. . .”

“Not much, not much, it is just one million!” Zhang Peiwen didn’t wait for me to finish speaking. He interrupted me quickly and replied like a sycophantic servant, “Next week. . . No, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will personally hand over the money to Young Master Chu!”

“This is for Ku’er, why are you giving it to me? You made it sound like I was blackmailing you. . .” I rolled my eyes at Zhang Peiwen, but Guo Xiang, Xingyu, and other people all rolled their eyes at me. They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen people who were as shameless as me.

But I ignored them and continued, “But if you insist, I don’t mind helping you to give it to Ku’er later. After all, we are old acquaintances. In terms of grandma and Ku’er, for the sake of me, they would not ask for more, they would make do with one million. Old Guo, can you get us a pen and paper? Two young masters, it is not that I don’t trust you, it is just business, so you have to make an IOU first. . .”

I was definitely not the first person to treat blackmail as a business, and I would not be the last, but I was definitely the most shameless one. . .

Guo Xiang suddenly had a chill running down his spine. He forced himself not to smile awkwardly and said, “Young Master Chu, I didn’t take those things with me. . .”

“I have them!” The young gardener smiled at me, “there are pens and papers in the dormitory, I’ll go and get them.”

After saying that, he ignored the malicious gazes of the two young masters, swiftly went back to the dormitory, and soon found what I wanted.

With tears of humiliation, Zhang Mingjie signed his name at the end of the IOU, dipped his thumb in a red inkpad, but was reluctant to press it down. In less than a week, He lost 2.5 million. It would only be strange that he didn’t feel distressed.

“Are you a primary school student? There are no mistakes. You don’t need to check it, just press it.” Without waiting for him to respond, I pressed his hand on the paper. Although I felt like a bad guy, I like the feeling of ripping off rich people.

Ignoring Zhang Mingjie’s resentful gaze, I handed the IOU and the inkpad to Zhang Peiwen, and said with a smile, “Since the younger brother is the guarantor, you should also sign it. In case your elder brother will not be able to get the money in two days, you can help him to pay. Hehe.”

“Okay, okay. . .” Zhang Peiwen did it much quicker than Zhang Mingjie. I was very satisfied with his speed. After I got both of them to sign the IOU, I put it in my pocket.

Xingyu’s face glowed with endless admiration. She said to me quietly with a smile, “Elder Brother Nan, you are so amazing. The Zhang family has never been scared of anyone, but they didn’t dare to disobey you. Why are they so afraid of you?”

I smiled faintly, winked at Xingyu, pretending to be mysterious, and said, “If I tell you, they won’t be afraid of me anymore.”
