The bully leader smiled contemptuously and waved his fist in front of Zhao Jiabao. Zhao Jiabao was so frightened that he trembled all over and shrank back repeatedly.

"Look at how scared you are! And the Zhao family in Beijing..." The bully leader looked at him with contempt, "With a descendant like you, the Zhao family won't be able to stay so arrogant for long."

He rubbed his fingers together and said, "You killed five of my men this time. One of them is said to have to spend more than ten years in prison. How are you going to compensate me for this loss?"

Zhao Jiabao trembled as he said weakly, "This time, it's not all my fault... I gave you money, you took the money to do the work, and you didn't do the work well and got yourselves in jail. Isn't it... isn't it your own fault?"

The bully leader slowly raised his fist again, Zhao Jiabao's voice gradually became weaker, and finally he closed his mouth again.

"Stop your whining!" The bully leader was making no sense. "You didn't say in advance that the person you were going to teach a lesson to was a tough guy. That's your fault!"

"Okay, okay, it's my problem... I'll pay for it! I'll pay for it!" Zhao Jiabao begged for mercy, feeling miserable. What kind of people did Uncle Zhong introduce to him? Bullies! Ruffians! Hooligans! Rogues!

The leader of the bullies: "Let me do the math. My five brothers are in jail. They probably won't be able to find work after they get out. You have to pay for their expenses for the rest of their lives. Also, they are the main labor force in the family. After they go to jail, the family income is gone. The old and young all use money for their daily needs. You have to pay for all this. Considering that we have cooperated so many times, I will give you the decimal point. You just give me... 10,000 yuan."

"What?! Ten thousand yuan!?" Zhao Jiabao was so shocked that he couldn't help but shout, "You, you are clearly robbing!!!"

The bully reached out and patted his face. After two slaps, red marks appeared on Zhao Jiabao's face.

The bully leader said as a matter of course: "It's just robbery, what can you do to me? Don't want to give it to me? Do you believe that I will tell you all the things you asked us to do? Your uncle should not know so many things about you, right?"

Zhao Jiabao shuddered, not daring to be stubborn anymore, and had to say, "I, I'll give...but 10,000 yuan is too much, I really can't take it out now!"

The leader of the bullies: "We are not unreasonable people. We have calculated everything for you. With the strength of the Zhao family, 10,000 yuan is not a problem. Let me give you three days. Come here to pay the money in three days. If you dare not come or report the case..."

The bully leader threatened fiercely through his teeth: "I can only take your life to the Zhao family to exchange for money."

After saying that, the bully led his men away. Zhao Jiabao huddled in the corner, covering his head with his hands, filled with anger and panic.

Ten thousand yuan? He himself had never seen such a large amount of money!

No matter how much his grandparents dote on him, he can only get a hundred yuan or so in pocket money a month at most. It is not enough for him to spend, let alone save any money.

Zhao Jiabao put down his hand in frustration, his eyes suddenly stopped on the Rolex watch on his hand.

Fortunately... fortunately, he has a father who is a bank president and is always generous. This Rolex watch was given to him by his father.

Ten thousand dollars, maybe his father can help solve the problem.

In a dark corner of the alley outside the school, Song Wei Zheng stood in the shadows with his head down. His expression could not be seen clearly, as if he was waiting for someone.

Suddenly, a dark shadow approached quietly, but Song Wei Zheng turned his head as if he sensed something, and the two of them began to talk.

Dark Shadow: "Brother Zheng, I have found out everything. The gang that blocked you are a well-known gang of thugs in this area. They are used to stealing and sometimes they will take money to help people do something shameful. They fell into your hands this time. Five of them were arrested at once!"

"Yeah." Song Weizheng whispered, "Who paid to buy them?"

Shadow: "It is said that he is a rich kid who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex. We didn't find out who he is. But I heard that the gang is very angry and thinks that they were cheated by this business, so they want to get it back from the rich kid. It is said that they want 10,000 yuan! Tsk tsk, I have never seen such a lot of money. A rich man promised it and he will pay the day after tomorrow!"

"Heh..." Song Weizheng sneered, "Dog bites dog."

"Isn't it?" The shadow said again, "But you have to be careful, Brother Zheng. Those guys will definitely not let it go. They are busy raising money to recover their losses, so they haven't had time to find you. When they come back and remember, you may not be able to handle it alone. Otherwise, I will talk to Uncle Zheng and ask him to find a few more brothers to stay near your school and help you watch for a while?"

Song Wei Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "No, I will make sure they don't remember this. Using money to eliminate disasters is not as easy as imagined..."

He patted the shadow's shoulder, leaned over and whispered, "Do me another favor..."

After Zhao Jiabao collected all his money, he found that he only had about one hundred dollars in total.

He didn't dare let his family know because that evil star Zhao Weiguo was still on vacation at home. If he knew about it, his life would not be easy in the future.

Zhao Jiabao had no choice but to go to his father's foreign exchange bank again, with a shy smile on his face, looking like a good son.

Lin Yuanzhi was also in a mess of lawsuits at the moment. The bank's performance was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't get back the money he lent out. If things continued like this, his bank would close down. He had visited his father-in-law and mother-in-law many times, and they seemed to have a good attitude, but they just didn't give him a penny! Qian Meilin, this woman, had become increasingly cold towards him recently, and didn't take him, her husband, seriously at all.

But when he saw Zhao Jiabao, Lin Yuanzhi still showed a gentle smile: "Jiabao, why are you here today? Don't you have classes at school?"

Zhao Jiabao happily poured Lin Yuanzhi a cup of hot tea, then went behind Lin Yuanzhi to massage his back and shoulders, and said sweetly, "Of course I miss you! Dad, you work so hard, and as a son, of course I have to come visit you often."

Lin Yuanzhi smiled and shook his head, pointed at him with his finger, and said helplessly: "You, you, stop saying these nice things, I don't know you yet? You are so kind for no reason, tell me, you are short of money again? How much do you want this time?"

Zhao Jiabao said excitedly: "Dad, you are so good, thanks to you..."

Lin Yuanzhi took out his wallet and sighed, "Oh, the Zhao family is really so stingy with pocket money, and they don't even allow me to feel sorry for my son. Dad has a hundred dollars here, spend it!"

Zhao Jiabao did not move, but smiled guiltily and said, "Dad...can you...give me a little more? I'm short of a lot this time..."

Lin Yuanzhi asked in confusion: "How much do you want? Isn't one hundred yuan enough?"

Zhao Jiabao weakly pointed to the number one with his fingers, his voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "One, ten thousand yuan..."

"What?!" Lin Yuanzhi subconsciously felt that he had heard it wrong.

However, looking at Zhao Jiabao's weak but firm hand gestures and pleading eyes, he gradually reacted and said in disbelief: "Ten thousand yuan! Jiabao, do you know what you are saying? What do you want ten thousand yuan for?"

Zhao Jiabao lowered his head and begged, "Dad, please, please help me this time. After you give it to me this time, I promise not to ask you for money within a year!"

"Jiabao..." Lin Yuanzhi sighed heavily, "Tell dad what you want 10,000 yuan for? 10,000 yuan is not a small amount. You are still studying, what can you do with so much money?"

Zhao Jiabao had no choice but to tell Lin Yuanzhi about the incident. Of course, he deliberately blurred part of the story and only said that he and another man had a crush on the same girl, but that man was too arrogant and overbearing, so he couldn't get angry and found someone to teach him a lesson, but he ended up being tricked by him.

Lin Yuanzhi was very angry after hearing this: "You are so confused! I have told you so many times that if you like a girl, you should take your time. With your family background and status, are you afraid that you can't get her easily? Don't do anything unnecessary and give others a handle!"

Zhao Jiabao quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, with a very well-behaved attitude.

Lin Yuanzhi loves his son dearly, and sighed helplessly: "The person you are facing this time may not be easy to deal with. According to what you said, he is a country boy, and he can knock down five hooligans by himself. I'm afraid his background is not very clean. How can a child from a farmer's family be good at these things?"

Zhao Jiabao echoed, "That's right! It's a pity that Jiang Suisui can't tell the difference between good and bad."

Lin Yuanzhi frowned and said, "Forget it. A girl who can play between two men like this is not a good person. Even if you bring such a person to me, I will not agree. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

Zhao Jiabao lowered his head and said nothing. She looked well behaved, but he was very unconvinced in his heart. How could he swallow this humiliation if he didn't have some fun with the woman who had caused him such a great loss?

Lin Yuanzhi: "As for those hooligans, I think they should all be reported to the police station. If they dare to threaten and extort money, they will be sent to jail!"

"No, Dad!" Zhao Jiabao was anxious. "The group of people said that if I report the case, they will kidnap me first, and then go to the Zhao family to ask for money! They also said that if I don't have money, they will take my life! They can do anything when they are forced into a corner. Dad, you must save me!"

"Jiabao!" Lin Yuanzhi said angrily, "Ten thousand yuan? This is extortion and robbery! How can you really give them ten thousand yuan for free?"

Zhao Jiabao squatted down, hugged his thighs and begged, "Dad! This is not the first time I've asked them to do something. If I don't appease them this time, they will tell everyone about what happened in the past. By then, grandpa, grandma and uncle will all know, and they will also know that I have been secretly seeing you!"

"Dad, please help me one last time! I swear I will never do this again after this. I will draw a clear line between me and them!" Zhao Jiabao pointed to the sky and swore, "I will definitely be filial to you in the future. Think about it, this ten thousand yuan is actually nothing compared to my filial piety in the next few decades, right?"

Lin Yuanzhi looked at him deeply for a while. Zhao Jiabao was squatting on the ground with a pleading look in his eyes. The jade pendant hanging on his neck with a red rope swayed from time to time. It was shiny and warm, but it made Lin Yuanzhi feel a little dazzling.

He said helplessly: "Forget it, I will help you this time. In the future, I will never allow such a thing to happen again."

"Of course, Dad, I promise!" Zhao Jiabao burst into tears with joy.

Looking at Zhao Jiabao like this, Lin Yuanzhi closed his eyes, feeling a little confused.

Qinglan... How could our son be so disappointing? He is neither like you nor like me... Is this your punishment for me?
