Chapter 21 Being Extorted



Chen Yu was in a very good mood as he drove his newly purchased car.

He paid a down payment of 1.56 million yuan for this Mengshi M-HUNTER Hunter, which is worth 5.2 million yuan. He will take out a 60-month loan and only needs to pay more than 60,000 yuan per month.

There are still 19 months until the apocalypse, which means he only needs to pay back more than 1.1 million yuan, plus the down payment, for a total of 2.66 million yuan, which is half of the full amount.

Moreover, his car is a new energy vehicle, so he even saved on the purchase tax.

However, just as Chen Yu was happily walking home, Li Zheng, the bodyguard captain sitting in the passenger seat, received a phone call.

Not knowing what the phone call was about, Li Zheng's expression turned somewhat grim.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Captain Li?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it was our fault for not handling things properly. I'll have two of my brothers take care of it," Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie, preparing to give orders to the bodyguards in the car behind.

Chen Yu frowned: "Captain Li, I hired you at a high price. As your boss, shouldn't I have the right to know everything that happened while you were protecting me?"

Li Zheng fell silent upon hearing this, and after a long while, he said to Chen Yu with some shame, "Xiao Zhang has been detained by the car rental company."

"What?" Chen Yu was somewhat incredulous. Wasn't he supposed to be a top-notch bodyguard? How come he got his car detained just for returning it?

“There are many of them, and after all, this is a society governed by law, so Xiao Zhang might not be able to let loose.”

Li Zheng spoke with some hesitation.

After all, they were bodyguards hired by Chen Yu from "Tiancheng Defense" at a high price, yet they couldn't even handle returning the car properly and were detained. It was really embarrassing.

"Let's go take a look first," Chen Yu said. "I'll go with you, after all, Xiao Zhang was asked by me to return the car."

Li Zheng did not refuse upon hearing this, after all, Chen Yu was indeed the person involved, and it was not certain that sending his bodyguards would be able to solve the problem.

Soon, Chen Yu and his group arrived at the car rental shop. It was already 8 p.m. and the sky was dark.

The arrival of Chen Yu and his group in three cars caused quite a commotion, and one of the people from the car dealership quickly came out to check the situation.

Upon seeing the group of bodyguards dressed similarly to Zhang Quanmin and the others, the man quickly ran towards the car dealership, shouting, "Brother Yan, that kid actually called for backup!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a metallic clanging sound rang out, and a group of young men in suits rushed out.

Some of them were holding wrenches, some were holding hammers, and others were holding long, thin magnets; they all looked fierce.

Chen Yu frowned upon seeing this and said in a deep voice, "I sent someone to return the car to you, but you detained the person. What, are you trying to be lawless?"

"Heh, sir, you can't just eat whatever you want and say whatever you want! This is a society governed by law. Do you think we're the mafia? Why would we detain someone for no reason? It was your men who caused trouble and acted arrogantly towards us. We were just taking them into custody in self-defense," a fat, middle-aged man said sinisterly.

Chen Yu vaguely remembered this person; he was a manager at a rental company, and his name seemed to be Du Rongsheng. He had met him when he rented a car before.

"You're spouting nonsense! Xiao Zhang isn't that kind of person!" Li Zheng retorted. They were top-notch bodyguards; how could they be so impulsive?

Chen Yu also raised a question: "You say it's legitimate self-defense, so it's legitimate self-defense? You have surveillance cameras here, right? Just pull up the surveillance footage and it will be clear."

"I'm sorry, the surveillance cameras broke a few days ago and haven't been repaired yet. But we, your colleagues, all witnessed your people causing trouble. There's no need to dwell on it," Du Rongsheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu laughed in fury, for this was clearly just a shameless act.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "Release him first, and we can talk about it later!"

"Heh, whether or not to release them isn't up to us; it's up to the police officers at the local police station to decide," Du Rongsheng sneered.

"What exactly do you want?" Chen Yu asked angrily.

“It’s simple. You borrowed our car, and now that the car has a problem, you have to compensate us, right?” Du Rongsheng said.

"Heh~!" Chen Yu sneered, "So, how much do you want me to pay?"

Du Rongsheng held up five fingers.

Chen Yu: "5000?"

Du Rongsheng shook his head and said with a faint smile, "500,000? Hehe, Mr. Chen, 500,000 isn't much for you, is it?"

"500,000? Tell me, where exactly did I spend this 500,000?" Chen Yu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Du Rongsheng turned around and went to the car that Chen Yu had rented earlier, giving a wink to his subordinate beside him.

The man understood, and came up with a powerful flashlight, shining the light on the car.

"See this? Such a long scratch." Du Rongsheng pointed to a shallow scratch on the car that was almost invisible to the naked eye, about the size of a hair, and said casually.

Chen Yu sneered; this kid was playing a spot-the-difference game with him.

Du Rongsheng didn't care about Chen Yu's attitude at all.

As the light moved, he pointed out another fine line.

Next, using the same method, he found more than 40 stripes on the car.

“10,000 for each scratch, 51 in total, 500,000, you got a good deal,” Du Rongsheng sneered.

"Who can even see these scratches? Who knows if they were there before? Besides, 10,000 for a single scratch? Aren't you trying to extort money?" one of Chen Yu's bodyguards shouted angrily.
