No one who was arrested ever left unscathed; at the very least, they suffered some physical pain. They were already being quite lenient with Yu Jiu; Chen Hong next door was already being threatened and intimidated.
"Okay, then wait a bit. My man should be here soon. See if he brought any money. By the way, don't make things difficult for Manager Chen. If we have to pay, I'll pay Manager Chen's share as well, how about that?"
Yu Jiu suddenly softened his tone. The young man in the lead thought he had intimidated Yu Jiu and nodded triumphantly, but he missed the fleeting contempt in Yu Jiu's eyes.
"Wow, you're so rich. Fine, then you can hand over her share too. I just want the money; I don't care who pays it."
Seeing that Yu Jiu knew what was good for her, the man stopped making things difficult for her. He waved to his men to go next door, pausing the pressure and interrogation of Chen Hong.
But sitting there is still sitting, so the young man asked Yu Jiu with curiosity and excitement.
"Don't try to lie to me about how much money you've made this year. I'll investigate. If you try to fool me, I'll arrest you again. You know how serious speculation and profiteering are, right?"
"I've earned about 100,000 yuan."
Yu Jiu casually said, "One hundred thousand." The young man had just excitedly lifted half of his buttocks, but then sat back down speechlessly.
"Are you crazy? Earning 100,000 a year? Even if you had a hundred years, could you earn that much?! To be honest, I didn't ask you to understate it, nor did I ask you to overstate it!!!"
The young man slammed his fist on the table in anger. Yu Jiu glanced at him, then casually gave a number while resting her chin on her hand.
"That should be ten thousand."
"Are you kidding me? I'm asking you one last time! How much money did you actually make? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for taking action!"
The young man, enraged, pulled out a whip and pepper spray, looking as if to say, "If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to whip you with pepper spray." Seeing these props, Yu Jiu finally stopped her nonchalant attitude. She thought for a moment, then spoke seriously.
"Three hundred and eighty-one yuan and forty cents."
"Three hundred and eighty-one yuan and forty cents, that's not a small amount. Even if you give me half, it'll be enough..."
The amount was reasonable, and it even had whole and odd amounts. The young man immediately believed it. He happily thought about it for a long time. Because he was bad at math, he still couldn't figure out how much money he would get, but he was sure it would be a lot!
"One hundred and ninety yuan and seven mao."
Yu Jiu was good at arithmetic, and she immediately quoted half the amount.
"Yes, yes, one hundred and ninety yuan and seven mao!"
Adding the woman next door's share, it's at least two hundred yuan. Two hundred yuan, hahaha, that's their annual salary! Not bad, very good!
The young man was overjoyed at the prospect of receiving so much money. Moreover, Yu Jiu was now cooperating willingly, and she was beautiful and pitiful to behold. So, he waved his hand and ordered his men to pour Yu Jiu a glass of water.
"Moisten your throat."
Yu Jiu took the water, played with the cup for a while, but didn't drink it. Her expression was very faint. She started to miss Xu Zijiang and her little An'an. She wondered if An'an would throw a tantrum, and if she was hungry, would Gouzi make her milk powder?
"Drink up, are you afraid I'll poison you? Where are you from? You're quite the looker, Xu Zijiang is lucky to have you."
The young man's eyes gleamed with lust as he looked at Yu Jiu. He had been so eager for money just moments before, but now that he was sure he would get it, he began to relax. He dared to say that no one on their side could compare to Yu Jiu's looks; not only were her features beautiful and her skin flawless, but her figure was also exceptional.
She also has a great presence; she's not the rough and tumble type of girl, and she's a real eye-catcher.
"Didn't our money still end up benefiting you? What good is it to be from where you're from?"
Yu Jiu started to sneer again.
"You know what, a lot of people make money that's cheaper for us. How about it, want to give it a try? I can't afford to mess with Xu Zijiang, and I wouldn't dare to snatch you away, but we can secretly have a relationship. How about it? Want to give it a try?"
If you agree, I'll give you 20 yuan, how about that? Aren't I generous? That's enough to sleep with so many women! I'm only giving you so much money because I think highly of you!
The young man was smug, even going so far as to talk about how cheap other women were. He boasted about how many young girls and widows he'd slept with, saying they were all available for a little money. Yu Jiu felt nauseous listening to him. She picked up her glass and splashed the water inside directly in his face.
"Shut your dog mouth, I don't want to hear you!"
"you!"
"What's wrong with me? Cherish this last chance to be smug! You're about to be gone!"
Yu Jiu sneered, then threw the cup at the young man as well. After throwing the cup, she even picked up a chair and threw it at him, making a loud clattering noise in the interrogation room. People outside heard it and rushed in.
"What's wrong? What happened!"
"That bitch wants to die, so I'll grant her wish. Catch her and torture her!"
The young man was furious. His face was soaked with water, his hair was drooping, and he looked very disheveled. Moreover, Yu Jiu threw the glass unexpectedly, and the bottom of the glass hit him directly on the forehead. He only reacted when the chair was thrown and dodged it, otherwise he would have suffered more injuries.
The young man was angry and no longer cared about being gentle with women. He even forgot about Xu Zijiang. He was wary of him, but not entirely afraid of him. Besides, Yu Jiu had laid a hand on him. What do you call that? Unrepentant to the end, assaulting a staff member. It's only right to punish her! Even if Xu Zijiang came, he couldn't do anything about it!
"Let's see who dares to touch her! Stop right there, you sons of bitches! You dare to bully my wife? Do you want to die?!"
Just then, Xu Zijiang arrived. He roared outside, rushed in, grabbed the group of people, kicked them, and slapped them several times, making the young thugs howl in pain.
All the henchmen had been dealt with, leaving only the leader. The young leader was trembling with fear, but he still clung to the wall, trying to appear calm.
"What do you want? I'm a cadre too. You watch out, if you dare hit me, you..."
"Ah!!! My leg!!!"
Xu Zijiang didn't care what kind of cadre you were; he beat you without hesitation. He pressed the young man's head down and slammed it against the wall a few times, then kicked him hard in the legs and waist, beating him until he begged for mercy.
"You dare to talk back to me? I'll admit you're blind!"
Xu Zi gave him a good beating to vent his anger. After beating him, he returned to Yu Jiu's side and nervously held her hand, asking her questions.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Did they do anything to you?"
"No, I was just dealing with them, and I didn't act impulsively."
Yu Jiu shook her head, indicating to Xu Zijiang not to worry. They outnumbered her, and she wasn't stupid; why would she confront them head-on? She had calculated that Xu Zijiang would be arriving soon, which was why she splashed the water on his face.
Even if Xu Zijiang can't arrive in time, she has ways to stall for time. Safety must always be the top priority. Yu Jiu isn't that foolish to put herself in danger for a little argument.
However, this young man really didn't have a brain. She had already revealed her identity, but he didn't even bother to verify it. He deserved to get beaten up.
"Let's go back, take Manager Chen Hong from next door with us, and then we'll go and complain."
