Chapter 20: The Sucker

Lin Jianyan did not answer, but smiled and asked him, "You mean to give me 10,000 yuan, and then let me tell the police that I made a mistake, voluntarily sign a settlement agreement, and let me release Wang Biao?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes." In fact, it was 50,000 yuan, which made him lose 40,000 yuan. But this 10,000 yuan was a lot for a poor man like him.

Lin Jianyan's originally calm mood was immediately broken by his laughter. "Mr. Zhou, do you think I can influence the decision of the police station? Or do you think that as long as I agree to a settlement, Wang Biao will be released?"

Zhou Yi asked sincerely: "Is it not possible?"

Lin Jianyan: “…” It’s really possible.

Lin Jianyan chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you seem to be a little late. This matter has already fermented and may have spread like wildfire outside. The situation is no longer under my control."

"And Wang Biao and his gang have more than one case. I am just a fuse. Once all their sins are proven, they will probably be shot." He stretched out his hand and made a pistol gesture to him, and said with a smile, "Go down and redeem your sins."

"You!" Zhou Yi slammed the table and stood up, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He felt that he was being fooled. Anger burned in his heart, and he stared at Lin Jianyan closely, his eyes full of anger.

The loud noise echoed in the store, attracting the attention of the customers. The two bodyguards and the people Zhou Yi brought also stood up and walked over, alerting each other, "Mr. Lin, what's wrong? Do you need us to take action?"

Lin Jianyan remained calm and composed, smiling and waving his hands, "No, I think we have almost finished talking, we can leave now."

Lin Jianyan stood up and walked out, but suddenly thought of something and went back to the counter. He smiled at the pretty girl standing at the counter and asked, "Excuse me, is the dessert I want to take away ready?"

The girl blushed and glanced at the list. "Is this the gentleman at table number two?"

Seeing Lin Jianyan nod, he quickly took out a dozen packed bags from the incubator behind him. The two bodyguards took them with a look. Just like that, the three of them walked out in front of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked at the bill brought by the waiter and his face turned purple with anger, "Damn! What delicacies did he order that cost more than 800 yuan!" This time, the job was not done, and he couldn't get the 40,000 yuan he embezzled back, and he spent more than 800 yuan in vain!

The waiter thought he was going to dine for free and looked at him with a wary look, "Sir, our prices are clearly marked, and that gentleman packed more than 20 kinds of desserts and drinks, double servings, so it is indeed this price."

Zhou Yi was furious after hearing what the waiter said. He glared at the waiter fiercely, but he could do nothing. After all, he didn't want to cause any embarrassment in public. He could only grit his teeth, take out his wallet, and pay the bill reluctantly.

Looking at his wallet that had shrunk in an instant, he was so angry that he picked up the coffee he had just served and drank it all in one gulp. It was bitter and hot, and he became even angrier, "Damn! What is this? Why is it so bitter!"

The waiter collected the money, checked it and rolled his eyes at his vulgarity, then shuffled off to serve other guests. You idiot, you just said that the handsome guy was unsophisticated and had never been to a fancy place, and you are not much better.

The driver was getting a little anxious waiting outside. He kept looking at the store door, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety. He was secretly thinking that if they didn't come out in another five minutes, he would call Qin Wu.

I turned around and saw Lin Jianyan and his team coming out, with two bodyguards carrying full bags in their hands.

The driver quickly opened the door for them. Because the bodyguards were carrying a lot of bags, and the drinks and food couldn't be placed in the trunk, it would be crowded for three people to sit in the back, so Lin Jianyan sat in the passenger seat.

Lin Jinyan looked through the rearview mirror at the two big men in the back seat. They were carrying the packing bags, looking very careful as if they were protecting valuables. They looked funny. Lin Jinyan raised his lips and said, "See if there is anything you like to eat and take some away. The driver should take some too."

The two big men were slightly stunned, with a flash of surprise in their eyes. Thinking about where these things came from, they did not refuse and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

The driver was embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but when he saw that both of them accepted it, he also accepted it when he thought of his wife and children at home. He smiled shyly and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lin."

The atmosphere in the car instantly became relaxed and cheerful, as if all the tension and busyness just now were resolved.

When they returned to the villa, it was not yet time for lunch. Lin Jianyan asked the bodyguard to put the food on the table and said, "I brought snacks and milk tea. Come and share."

The servants around him stopped their work and looked at him hesitantly. Uncle Zhao heard the commotion and rushed over. He looked at the many gift bags on the table in surprise, "Why did you buy so many?"

Lin Jianyan chuckled, "It's free, it's the guest of the fool." Knowing that everyone was a little embarrassed with him present, he said to Uncle Zhao, "These can't be put away, you ask everyone to share them, I'll go upstairs first."

Uncle Zhao agreed immediately. When Lin Jianyan was no longer in sight, the servants dared to approach. A little girl saw the logo on the bag and exclaimed, "Wow, it's her dessert. I've seen their commercials on TV. A pineapple bun costs more than ten yuan!"

Many people exclaimed in surprise. Although their salaries in the Qin family were not low, they usually could not bear to spend more than ten yuan to buy a palm-sized pineapple bun.

"It's so expensive!"

"I think I've seen their commercials on TV. I heard that the food tastes really good, but the prices are too high so I've never dared to go in."

"Mr. Lin is so generous. He treats us to such expensive refreshments."

Everyone wanted to try it, but when they heard it was so expensive, they hesitated and didn't dare to buy it. Then one of the bodyguards picked up a paper bag and handed it directly to the girl he liked. The girl took it subconsciously and was slightly stunned. When she reacted, her cheeks flushed and her eyes were full of shyness.

The bodyguard scratched his head shyly, "It's okay, eat it, we have already eaten what Mr. Lin gave us, the rest is yours."

Everyone looked at them and laughed in good faith. In order not to make the two young people more shy, they turned around and picked up their favorite food. Some families with children kept their own portion and let their children taste it when they got home.

Uncle Zhao smiled and didn't bother them.

Lin Jinyan went upstairs and changed into casual clothes. When he came down, everyone he met thanked him, and Lin Jinyan smiled and nodded in response to each one.

As expected, the servants of wealthy families are well-educated and polite. After all, they are selected through layers of screening, and their character and upbringing are impeccable.

Although Lin Jianyan was the only person at the table, the lunch was still very rich, with four dishes and one soup being the most standard. It didn't matter if she couldn't finish it, as there were two dogs in the backyard to guard the house, so it wasn't a waste.

After lunch, Lin Jianyan went upstairs to rest. When she woke up at about four o'clock, Qin Wu had not returned yet.

He walked downstairs slowly to the living room, then lazily nestled down on the sofa, his eyes naturally falling on the TV set that was quite contemporary.

Today's TV cases are usually made of plastic, with a single color, mostly dark colors such as black or gray, and the overall design is relatively simple.

The TV is relatively large and heavy, and needs to be placed on a special TV cabinet or shelf. The largest screen is only 19 inches. Fortunately, it has a color screen, and occasionally you can search for more than a dozen channels.

Although it is incompatible with the Western decoration style, there is nothing that can be done about it due to the limitations of the times.

Lin Jianyan was immediately interested in this modern TV. Their family didn't have a TV because it was too expensive and it was not available without connections. Nowadays, most people can only listen to the news on the radio or read it in the newspaper.

Lin Jianyan turned on the TV and changed the channel, skipping through several old-fashioned TV programs before finally finding the news station. Coincidentally, it was reporting on the Wan Shui Lane incident.

This is what Lin Jianyan was looking for. She nestled back on the sofa comfortably and watched it with great interest.
