Xu Damao saw Liu Haizhong standing there silently, stammering, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Second Uncle, I'm just being polite by calling you Second Uncle!"
"Let me tell you, if you all don't apologize for what happened today, you can forget about getting any of your money!"
Xu Damao said to Liu Haizhong with great determination.
Liu Haizhong was furious. He never expected that even though things were about to end, he would still be manipulated by Xu Damao.
"Xu Damao, is this never going to end?" Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth, his words sounding like they were coming from the back of his teeth.
Xu Damao was even happier to see Liu Haizhong like this, and nodded matter-of-factly, saying, "That's right, that's right!"
"Didn't I say? If none of you apologize to me for what happened today, I'm not paying back the money!"
"Even if I don't pay this money, I'll still be in the right no matter where I go!"
Xu Damao adopted a stance of "I won't give you money unless you apologize," essentially using this incident to threaten Liu Haizhong.
"call......"
Liu Haizhong was so angry with Xu Damao that he was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Xu Damao.
At this time, Liu Haizhong's head was also in constant turmoil.
She even considered giving up on getting the money, since she had never bowed down to Xu Damao.
But if I don't bend down and apologize, it's a full 500 yuan. If Xu Damao doesn't give it to me, it will probably take my family two years to save up that 500 yuan.
Liu Haizhong was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Xu Damao!"
"You actually want me, an elder, to apologize to you? Aren't you going too far!"
With red eyes, Liu Haizhong growled.
Xu Damao said to Liu Haizhong with a disdainful look, "I, Xu Damao, don't have an elder like you. You even scheme against the juniors. What kind of elder are you!"
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. I'm just asking you whether you're going to apologize to me or not!"
"If you don't apologize to me, I'm going home today!"
As he spoke, Xu Damao made a move to leave the Intermediate People's Court and go straight home.
Just as he was about to lift his leg, Wu Yu grabbed him tightly.
Liu Haizhong could refuse to apologize, or even refuse the money, but the money actually ended up in Wu Yu's pocket.
Others may not want it, but he can't refuse it, so when he saw Xu Damao about to leave, he quickly grabbed Xu Damao.
"I apologize, I apologize!"
"Xu Damao, I was wrong, I apologize to you, please return the money to me!"
Wu Yu looked at Xu Damao with a pleading expression.
Xu Damao didn't care whether Wu Yu apologized to him or not. He was just a street thug. What did it matter if he apologized or lost face? Xu Damao remained unmoved.
Seeing that Xu Damao was about to leave after finishing his work, Liu Guangqi also came out and blocked Xu Damao's way. Liu Guangqi whispered to Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, we were wrong to do this!"
"My dad and I are here to apologize to you!"
Liu Guangqi thought that if he apologized on Liu Haizhong's behalf, the matter would be over.
However, he oversimplified things. From beginning to end, the only person Xu Damao didn't want to make things difficult for was Liu Haizhong. He completely ignored Wu Yu, and Liu Guangqi was just an afterthought.
"Go away, go to the side!"
"I have nothing to do with what happened today!"
Xu Damao looked impatient and told Liu Guangqi to get lost.
Liu Guangqi was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed to see Xu Damao treating him this way, after all, he was considered a leader in his unit.
And now, Xu Damao is treating me like this, not giving me any face in front of the people in the compound.
"Let me tell you, in this matter today, apart from Liu Haizhong apologizing to me, no one else's words will carry any weight!"
Xu Damao forcefully shoved Liu Guangqi aside, then started shouting loudly.
He deliberately acted as if he would leave if Liu Haizhong didn't apologize to him.
This time, Wu Yu and Liu Guangqi were both a little anxious when they saw Xu Damao was about to leave.
We can't work hard all day only to fail at the last minute.
So Liu Guangqi quickly turned his gaze to Liu Haizhong and said to him, "Dad, you should apologize to Xu Damao right away!"
"Let's resolve this matter as soon as possible!"
Liu Guangqi pleaded with Liu Haizhong.
"Yes, yes!"
"You'd better apologize to Xu Damao right now and admit your mistake!"
"If all else fails, just do what I did and kneel down and kowtow to him twice!"
"Anyway, if I can get my money back after kowtowing a couple of times, it's not a complete loss!"
Wu Yu couldn't understand what Liu Haizhong was feeling at all, so he felt that making Liu Haizhong apologize to Xu Damao wasn't a big deal.
Wu Yu even gave Liu Haizhong a bad suggestion, telling him to just kneel down and kowtow to Xu Damao.
Everyone in the compound was secretly laughing as they listened to Wu Yu's shameless remarks.
Xu Damao, however, laughed. He said to everyone with a smile, "If he kneels down before me today, I'll give him back all 500 yuan!"
"Let's see if he can kneel down and admit his mistake!"
Xu Damao was absolutely certain. Others might not know Liu Haizhong, but he knew him all too well. He knew that Liu Haizhong would never kneel down and apologize to him.
So at this moment, he was deliberately making sarcastic remarks to Liu Haizhong in order to vent his anger.
"Everyone think about it, if Liu Haizhong kneels down and apologizes to me today, I'll give him an extra 200 yuan!"
"Don't you think he profited from this?"
Xu Damao saw that he had completely mastered the bangs hairstyle and even began to feel a little smug.
As for the people in the compound, they had all sorts of opinions. Some felt it was too shameful to kneel down to Xu Damao for 200 yuan.
Some people also felt that they could get 200 yuan by kneeling down to Xu Damao once, which was not a loss at all.
However, the choice ultimately rested with Liu Haizhong, so after some discussion, everyone turned their attention back to him.
"Liu Haizhong!"
"Hurry up! What exactly do you mean by this?"
"I'm giving you two last minutes. If you don't apologize to me, I'm leaving!"
"Don't you dare say I didn't give you that 300 yuan!"
Seeing Liu Haizhong glaring at him and refusing to move, Xu Damao gave Liu Haizhong an ultimatum: he wouldn't refund Liu Haizhong's money unless he apologized. After all, the initiative was in his hands.
