"Take him away! How can such a person exist in this world?" Chen Ziming had never seen anything like this before; it was utterly incomprehensible.

There was no way to leave today. Chen Ziming and Tiezhu couldn't shake off the blacksmith couple's relentless pestering. They were utterly exasperated. Chen Ziming roared.

"Tell me, how much money do you want?" All they want is money! These rude country bumpkins.

The blacksmith and his wife paused, intending to say the number they had already decided on, but upon seeing Chen Ziming's fiery gaze, they immediately burst into tears, "Are we the kind of people who only care about money? Don't you feel guilty saying such things?"

"Stop pretending, you're all like that. Just tell me how much money you want, or you won't get a single penny after today."

Tie Zhu knew the blacksmith and his wife's character best. They wouldn't give up until he paid them some money; they were capable of anything.

“Five…one hundred thousand, we want one hundred thousand in child support. If you give us this money, we promise we will never bother you again for the rest of our lives,” the blacksmith said.

"Fifty thousand, that's the most I can say." Chen Ziming said sinisterly. The blacksmith had clearly said five, but his wife twisted his arm and added another fifty thousand.

100,000 is a small amount of money for Chen, which he can take out at any time, but how could someone as picky and cunning as Chen Ziming so easily agree to someone else's request?

Before he came, he already knew what kind of life his cousin had been living at the blacksmith's house all these years. It was already merciful of him not to cause them any trouble. Now he still wanted money?

He refused to give a single penny, which shows how irresponsible his adoptive parents are; they don't deserve child support.

"Cousin, just give them the money. I want to settle things with them." Even if someone asks about it later, Tie Zhu will have an excuse to refute it and won't leave any handle for others to talk about.

"A maximum of 80,000, take it or leave it." This was the highest price Chen Ziming was willing to offer. If the other party still tried to play hard to get, he really wouldn't get a single penny.

The blacksmith and his wife were quick to read the room, and immediately bowed and scraped, saying, "Yes, yes, Mom and Dad, please get up quickly. Don't kneel at other people's feet; it's not a good look."

The two elderly people immediately raised their arms and wiped their tears and snot with their sleeves, quickly stood up straight, and hid behind their son and daughter-in-law as a backdrop. Their quiet and unassuming demeanor made it seem as if they hadn't been crying and wailing just moments before.

Then they went into the hotel to discuss things in detail. Bai Junbai sat on the floor in a corner of the lobby watching the show. When he saw Chen Ziming leave with the blacksmith couple, he felt very dissatisfied.

The blacksmith couple are utterly useless. They asked for 100,000, but managed to get the price down to 80,000. They're hopeless.

After Chen Ziming saw the blacksmith's family off, Zhang Yu took the stage. He hadn't wanted to come; the person who had given him the information clearly had ill intentions and was probably a sworn enemy of Tie Zhu's family in the capital, here specifically to cause trouble.

However, what the other party said makes a lot of sense. He may never have the chance to go to the capital in his lifetime, and he probably can't count on Tie Zhu's connections. It would be better to take advantage of the moment and ask his cousin Tie Zhu for help in resolving Cha Cha's thorny issue.

That's right, he came for Cha Cha. The Rainbow Head family is too troublesome and powerful. He and Xiao Zhu don't have the strength to fight them right now, so it's better to take advantage of Tie Zhu's family's power to solve the problem in one fell swoop.

"A grown man who dawdles and hesitates, no wonder he's so easily dominated." Bai Junbai was getting impatient.

This guy named Zhang Yu lingered outside the hotel for almost half an hour, looking conflicted, unable to make a decision at the last minute.

"Go and help him out," Bai Junbai said to his bodyguard.

Bodyguard 1: "..." How should we help? Should we take her to Chen Ziming's room, or go and encourage Zhang Yu?

Fortunately, Zhang Yu finally entered the hotel at this time and quickly walked towards the stairs. The hotel has two floors and no elevator, so you can only go upstairs by taking the stairs. Zhang Yu went to the second floor to find Chen Ziming.

The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Bai, Zhang Yu went to discuss things with his good friend before he came. It seems that he was looking for Chen Ziming because of his friend's sister." The bodyguard thought for a moment and then reported what he had just found out to Young Master Bai.

"Who cares why, as long as it can bother Chen Ziming, that's fine." Bai Junbai had no interest in Zhang Yu's friends.

"By the way, have you found the little girl who sold me the ginseng back then?" The two bodyguards who came with him this time were not the same two from back then; these two were far more skilled than those two.

Thinking of Lin Xiazhu's immense strength, Bai Junbai narrowed his eyes. Seven years have passed, and she is now a fifteen-year-old young lady. If he were to spar with her, no one would say that he was bullying a child, right?

"...We still haven't found him." The bodyguard was ashamed; he had failed in his duty by not being able to do what Young Master Bai had asked him to do.

"Your work efficiency is getting worse and worse; you can't even find a single person." Bai Junbai was indeed very unhappy.

This small, run-down county is so boring. He can't even find a place to relax. The so-called dance halls and karaoke bars are as dull as children playing house.

He's starting to regret coming here with Chen Ziming; he's so bored he's about to explode.

"If you can't find the person, then stop looking. We're going back to S City tomorrow," Bai Junbai said sullenly.

The bodyguard was used to his unpredictable temper and his impulsive nature; he just wanted to please him.

Around 8 PM, Bai Junbai took a shower and collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling. At that moment, the bodyguard knocked on the door and came in. "Young Master Bai, Zhang Yu went out half an hour ago, but she's back now, bringing three people with her. They went to see Chen Ziming."

"Chen Ziming has agreed to help, but before he takes action, he wants to meet with Zhang Yu's friends to see if it's worth helping." A businessman's nature means everything is tied to profit.

Although there's basically nothing that can be used to help people in such small places.

Feeling bored and unable to sleep, Bai Junbai decided to join in the fun and went to knock on Chen Ziming's door.

The door opened after two knocks, and it was Chen Ziming's assistant who opened it. Upon seeing him, the assistant was taken aback and hesitated before asking, "Young Master Bai, what business do you have with our young master?"

"Who said I came to see Chen Ziming? Move aside and let me in. I just want to know what he's up to." Bai Junbai forcefully pushed his assistant aside, then scanned the room as if no one else was there.

He said with a lot of pride, "What were you talking about? Keep going, don't mind me, I'm just listening."

Chen Ziming glared at his assistant, a dark look flashing across his eyes, but he quickly recovered and gave a gentle smile. "Oh, it's Junbai. What a coincidence. I have some urgent business to attend to right now and can't entertain you."

So get out of here quickly, don't let him get angry.

"This guy is good at putting on airs," Bai Junbai chuckled, then scanned the people in the room one by one. When his gaze landed on Lin Xiazhu's face, he lingered for a few seconds longer, then glanced at Xiao An, but quickly looked away expressionlessly.

"You guys chat, I won't disturb you." This person came in and left casually, as if he really was just looking around.

Everyone looked puzzled.
