Chapter 236 The Yellow Bird Behind
"Look, it's been a long time since we last had a good reunion since you left Wanlifang." Wu Minjian sighed for the first time.
Zhang Chengye didn't give the other party any face at all, and said stiffly, "I'm so sorry, I still remember how Wanlifang kicked me out. As for eating with the boss, I have never remembered it before."
Wu Minjian was ruthlessly exposed by Zhang Chengye, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed, but when he thought about his own purpose, no matter how humble it was, he had to pretend first.
"That's right. I was wrong about what happened back then." Wu Minjian poured himself a glass of wine. "Well, Master Zhang, I'm here to apologize to you in front of Ji Yong!"
After saying that, he really drank the glass of wine.
Zhang Chengye couldn't help sneering in his heart. He was so hypocritical. He would do anything for profit and thought that others were fools.
"To be honest, Boss Zhang, my time is also precious. If you don't have anything important to say, I'll go back first." Zhang Chengye stood up and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Wu Minjian stopped him the next moment and said, "Wait a moment. At this point, there is no need for me to keep you in suspense. In fact, I came to you because of the silk rice paper."
Zhang Chengye knew what Wu Minjian would ask without even thinking about it. He just wanted to know the formula.
"Sorry, no comment."
It was Lin Xi who helped him when he was in the most difficult times, so he couldn't repay kindness with enmity.
"Don't worry," Ji Yong smiled, "Boss Wu hasn't finished speaking yet."
Wu Minjian didn't finish what he was saying, and was thinking about what else he was going to do. Zhang Chengye frowned.
Wu Minjian took out a wooden box from under the table. He smiled at Zhang Chengye and slowly opened the box. All the silver inside came out.
"Here is a total of five hundred taels of silver. Think carefully. As long as you tell me the formula of silk rice paper, the money will be yours. Don't worry whether you want to find a better teacher for your son or get your mother medical treatment in the future." Wu Minjian believed that the conditions he offered were unmatched.
However, all his efforts seemed quite ridiculous in Wu Minjian's eyes. "It's just money. Boss Lin has more."
Wu Minjian almost vomited blood. When did he ever fall to the point of comparing family property with a little girl like Lin Xi?
He quickly adjusted his attitude and said, "But Lin Xi's money belongs to her and has nothing to do with you. As long as you give it to me, the five hundred taels of silver will be yours, enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."
Zhang Chengye felt that Wu Minjian was a person who didn't understand what others said. He had clearly said that he would not accept it, but the other party kept pestering him. It was really troublesome.
"That's all I have to say. Boss Wu, goodbye." Zhang Chengye turned around and prepared to leave without any reluctance.
"Zhang Chengye," Wu Minjian's tone became colder, "If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your mother."
If Zhang Chengye has any weakness in his life, it is his mother. Hearing Wu Minjian say this, Zhang Chengye suddenly became nervous and stared at him angrily, "What do you mean by this?"
Ji Yong said, "It's nothing. The boss just thought your mother was too lonely in the countryside, so he decided to bring her to the county town to live a good life."
Zhang Chengye was immediately furious. They actually tricked his mother into coming here. No wonder they looked so confident.
"Where did you take my mother?" Zhang Chengye grabbed Ji Yong's collar angrily.
Ji Yong was almost out of breath by Zhang Chengye's rage, and his speech was a little intermittent, "Don't get me wrong, we are just helping to see the doctor."
Zhang Chengye is not a fool, how could he believe such talk? They must want to use his mother to hold him hostage!
Wu Minjian said calmly, "I wanted to have a good talk with you, but I didn't expect you to be unwilling. So I can only come up with this solution. In fact, your mother's health is very poor and she needs to take medicine all year round. You know this better than me."
Ji Yong broke free from Zhang Chengye's hand and said, "You should really thank Boss Wu. He found a very good doctor for your mother."
When Zhang Chengye heard Ji Yong's words, he turned around and spat in his face.
"Bullshit, you think I'm a three-year-old kid."
Ji Yong wiped the spit from his face stiffly, his heart burning with anger. He hadn't been treated like this in many years.
However, just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Wu Minjian.
"Why don't you take a look at your mother's condition before making a decision." Wu Minjian said.
Zhang Chengye's eyes were already burning red, and he wanted to kill someone.
Wu Minjian just waved his hand, and the door of the room they were in slowly opened from the outside. What appeared in front of everyone was a scene that no one had expected.
Lin Xi and Wang Jing stood on each side, and in the middle stood Zhang Chengye's mother, Mrs. Zhang.
Seeing this, Zhang Chengye hurried to his mother's side and looked her up and down nervously, "Mom, are you okay?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and shook her head. "Really? I made you worry again. Mom is fine."
Lin Xi consoled him, "How could someone kidnap her in broad daylight?"
In fact, although she was not in the village, she had already told Cui Hongyue that if there were any problems, she must let the Ma family notify her immediately.
It was the same this time. Cui Hongyue saw a group of people taking Mrs. Zhang away and felt that something was fishy, so she asked the fifth son of the Ma family to go and inform Lin Xi.
After receiving the notice, Lin Xi was not idle. He went straight to Hang Qi, asked him for a few people, and found Mrs. Zhang.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang was sitting in the clinic. Lin Xi brought the officials to look for someone, which scared the people around them half to death. They thought something had happened and made way for them.
Mrs. Zhang herself was also confused. Later she realized that the person who came to pick her up was not sent by her son, but another boss looking for trouble.
Fortunately, she thought her son was calling her, so she followed him over.
At this moment, Ji Yong and Wu Minjian's faces were filled with disbelief. They didn't understand why the results were so different from what they had imagined when every step was planned so carefully.
"There is one thing I haven't told Boss Wu yet," Lin Xi smiled, "You kidnapped an old man at will, which violated the law. The government officials are going to arrest you and convict you."
After saying that, Lin Xi and Wang Jing each took a step back. The yamen runners outside came in one after another, with ferocious looks on their faces, and grabbed Wu Minjian and Ji Yong without any explanation.
Ji Yong realized it later and said, "You set all this up!"
Lin Xi shook his head. "It's obviously you who had bad intentions. What does it have to do with me? The most I can say is that I stopped your crimes."
The two men wanted to explain something, but the officers did not give them a chance to speak and took them back to the county government office.
Zhang Chengye looked at Lin Xi with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry to trouble you, boss."
