Chapter 5 Don't Bargain With Me
Li Yanzhou was also woken up by her noise, and he opened his eyes sleepily.
The sound was coming from under the bed. The man quickly remembered what had happened last night and frowned.
"What's all the noise about? If you keep making noise, I'll throw you out."
However, a woman's fearful whisper could be heard in the air.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
Li Yanzhou then glanced in her direction, his eyes flickering slightly, seemingly surprised.
"Didn't you use that?"
After a long pause, the man, his face dark, managed to utter this sentence.
"Too many..."
Luo Tingwei's voice lowered even further, and her face involuntarily flushed.
"..."
Silence fell over the air.
For a fleeting moment, Li Yanzhou wanted to throw her out.
But he suppressed his anger and pressed the bell anyway.
The maid came in, looking surprised at what was happening before her.
"Take her downstairs to tidy up."
Li Yanzhou spoke, suppressing his anger.
What bad luck! I have an important business deal to discuss later.
In his view, this was not a good omen.
The more the man thought about it, the angrier he became.
He pressed the bell again, saying, "Let her come in and see me when she's ready."
About half an hour later.
Luo Tingwei came in after changing her clothes, looking timid and hesitant, not even daring to look him in the eye.
The ground has been cleaned up.
Li Yanzhou, intent on venting his anger on her, swept his cold gaze over her and scoffed.
"Young lady, the carpet you dirtied costs two hundred thousand."
Luo Tingwei was stunned. Could it be that he wanted her to pay for it?
"My... my bank card is at my house, I can go back and get it. I'll make it up to you, I promise I'll make it up to you..."
She immediately responded.
"Are you sure those cards still work?" the man sneered.
After Luo Shengtian got into trouble, most of his assets were frozen by him. Luo Tingwei's entire body is now worth less than one of his belts.
Thinking this, his gaze unconsciously shifted to her hands, and his throat moved slightly.
Her hands were quite fair and soft.
Luo Tingwei noticed his gaze, awkwardly hid her hands behind her back, and stammered, "Then... what do you want?"
It's early in the morning.
As Li Yanzhou watched her red lips move silently and unconsciously, his gaze grew intense.
"come over."
He beckoned to her.
Luo Tingwei hesitated for a moment, then walked over, not understanding why.
Li Yanzhou patted his thigh like he was training a dog, "Kneel down."
"What are you going to do...?"
She became alert, and a bold idea jumped into her mind.
"That's exactly what you think."
Luo Tingwei panicked immediately, shaking her hand like a rattle-drum, "I, I can't..."
"Won't?"
The man scoffed, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said sarcastically, "So you don't care whether your father lives or dies, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei felt her blood rush to her head, as if she had been choked.
She tried to plead with him, "How about we choose another one?"
This was far beyond her capacity to accept, making her feel like her dignity had been trampled on.
"no."
The man cruelly refused.
Even now, she still hasn't realized her situation and thinks she has a choice.
"Don't try to bargain with me, or you'll be collecting your dad's corpse tonight."
Li Yanzhou seemed to be losing patience. "I'll count to three. If you're smart, you'll know what to do."
Luo Tingwei bit her lower lip, her gaze gradually dimming.
His legs buckled, and he finally knelt down.
Seeing that she was behaving well, Li Yanzhou patted her head with satisfaction, "This is much better."
Having said that, he lifted her chin with his other hand and said in a low, husky voice,
"Open your mouth."
...
A long hour.
Li Yanzhou came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
In contrast, Luo Tingwei's lips were swollen, and there was some skin breaking out at the corners of her mouth.
While Li Yanzhou was taking a shower, she quickly slipped back to her room.
Li Yanzhou looked at the empty bedroom and a smile curled at the corner of his lips.
This little thing runs fast.
Luo Tingwei lay on the bed and cried bitterly.
I felt that I had been severely insulted and bullied.
The room was slightly ajar. As Li Yanzhou passed by, he heard sobbing coming from inside and paused in his tracks.
He reflected for a few seconds, wondering if he had bullied the person too much.
After receiving a negative response, the man left without paying much attention, only instructing that she not be too difficult for him in the next few days.
**
On the ferry.
"The last batch of goods has arrived, and they are in good condition."
Li Yanzhou, with a cigar dangling from his lips, said lazily.
The man opposite him chuckled, "I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Li."
The next second, the man suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that Luo Shengtian is with you now?"
Li Yanzhou smiled and said without any hesitation, "Your information network is quite impressive."
Qiao Er flicked his cigarette ash. "Not only that, I've also heard that Luo Shengtian's only daughter is currently missing, and all sorts of forces, both legitimate and illegitimate, are looking for her."
"Mr. Li, I bet you're keeping a mistress at home, aren't you?"
Li Yanzhou clicked his tongue, his voice deepening, "What, is Young Master Qiao also interested in this Miss Luo?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Qiao Er chuckled, "My wife is very strict. I wouldn't dare even think about such romantic matters if you gave me a hundred lives. But I've heard that Miss Luo is incredibly beautiful, a beauty that comes out of the hundreds, and all sorts of big shots want to get close to her. What's more, if you have her, you can also take all the resources that Luo Shengtian has in his hands. Boss Li, you're really lucky..."
Although Luo Shengtian is currently unstable, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, and his remaining influence is still there. There will always be some people in the martial arts world who will give him some face.
Li Yanzhou stubbed out his cigarette and said disdainfully, "What's the value of that pitiful scrap of flesh left in Luo Shengtian's hand? Besides, there's no shortage of beautiful women in this world. No matter how beautiful Miss Luo is, now that she's fallen on hard times, she's nothing more than a little thing that lives off someone else's whims, ha..."
Qiao Er's expression changed slightly, and he said with a forced smile, "It seems that Miss Luo is not of much value to you, Boss Li."
"How about..."
Qiao Er changed the subject mysteriously, saying, "Have you heard that Third Master Qin has long admired this Miss Luo and has tried to win her heart many times, but to no avail? Why not hand her over to Third Master Qin? Then, you can use the underground shipping route he has at your disposal."
Li Yanzhou curled his lips into a smile. "Oh? It seems that Young Master Qiao is not only here to discuss business today, but also to act as a go-between for Master Qin?"
Qiao Er smiled ingratiatingly, "Nothing can be hidden from you, Boss Li. This is indeed a message that Third Master Qin asked me to deliver. Why don't you consider it? I'm sure you know that the underground route can bypass most defense systems, radars, and checkpoints. I don't need to elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages. You're a smart man."
"Such a huge profit, exchanged for just one woman, isn't that a good deal?"
Li Yanzhou nodded, seemingly somewhat tempted, "It is indeed a good deal."
"So, you've agreed?"
Qiao Er's face lit up with joy.
