“Sun Dayong at least knew to do a live stream. Even if you wanted to fight, why didn’t you think to record it? Now it’s so complicated that it’s unclear whether you defeated that foreign boxer. Someone said that if you had the recording, he would be willing to pay 100,000 yuan to buy it.”
"That guy is a piece of trash! If I really recorded it, do you think he'd pull out 100,000 yuan?" Zhen Huai shouted indignantly.
"As Mr. Wei always said, if we could advertise for Longma Spirit, it would be a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Listen to that, a stroke of luck! But what about you? If you recorded the video, the company would surely cover the foreigner's medical expenses, right?"
"Even if the company doesn't pay the medical expenses, they'll at least cover some of the tax and the restaurant's losses, right?" Zhang Ying glared at Zhen Huai, her face full of disappointment.
Zhen Huai held his head in his hands, unable to utter a single word, clearly filled with regret.
"Didn't someone in the restaurant testify? Didn't the police station also sentence Uncle based on the fact that he hit a foreigner? Why do we need video evidence for hitting a foreigner?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"You don't know, didn't I tell you before? The people in the traditional martial arts world are all seasoned veterans. Nobody ever thinks about beating some foreign boxer. It's not interesting."
"So nobody outside believes your uncle's story. Who the hell would believe that I'm so naive as to go up against foreigners? They're all saying that I was tricked by the foreigners, that I tried to extort them but ended up being extorted myself. Tell me, isn't that a shameful thing to do!"
Zhen Huai said to Wang Yao with great sorrow.
According to Zhen Huai, even if someone testifies to it and the police station confirms it, because there is no video recording, people in the traditional martial arts world still have doubts about whether Zhen Huai really defeated the foreign boxer.
The rumor that Zhen Huai was extorted by foreigners instead of the foreigners was particularly damaging. It was an open questioning of Zhen Huai's intelligence, which explains why Zhen Huai and Zhang Ying were so frustrated.
Wang Yao wanted to ask again, "Didn't Sun Dayong broadcast it live?" But then he thought that since the foreign boxer had been beaten up, even if Sun had recorded something, he probably wouldn't bring it up again to embarrass himself.
So apart from the group of guys who watched the live stream that night, the diners in the restaurant, and the word-of-mouth from the police station, there really is no other way to prove that Zhen Huai has such an astonishing record in the human world.
He stroked his chin, thinking to himself that the human realm's attitude towards foreigners and the demon realm's Shu clan's attitude towards foreign guests were indeed somewhat similar. In the end, they both had one thing in common: being humble to the point of being insignificant in order to gain friendliness and respect. Wang Yao was very skeptical.
Having said that, Wang Yao finally understood the reason for the medical expenses, but he couldn't come up with a solution. After all, the police hadn't caused any trouble for Zhen Huai, Sun Dayong hadn't extorted anything from Zhen Huai, and the foreign boxer had indeed been seriously injured and hospitalized.
As for the medical expenses, restaurant losses, civilization tax and other expenses, Zhen Huai has to bear them all. This is naturally in accordance with the laws of the human realm. Wang Yao is not so arrogant as to challenge the laws of a realm. Besides, even if he wanted to challenge them, he would know who to go to.
It's said that laws in the human realm are made collectively by a large group of people. He can't possibly gather everyone together for another meeting, can he? Even if he had the energy, he wouldn't have the time!
There's not much that can be done about Zhen Huai's damaged reputation. Wang Yao doesn't have any magic to bring back old images or rewind time, so he can't recall past footage to record and prove Zhen Huai's innocence. So... let's just consider it Zhen Huai paying an "IQ tax".
"Um... you should take this back." Wang Yao thought for a moment, then took out the folded document again and handed it to Zhen Huai. No matter what, it was all because of money. If he kept this money any longer, it would be too hot to handle.
“No, this money is yours…” Zhen Huai was still struggling.
“Auntie, take this. Even if I love money, I can’t take this money.” Wang Yao handed the folded document to Zhang Ying again.
“Well…we’re having some difficulties lately, how about I…I’ll withdraw the rent and give it to you later when we’re in a better financial situation…” Zhang Ying looked at the document, reached out her hand, but didn’t take it. Instead, she looked at Zhen Huai.
"Why are you looking at him? Use this money to clear out all those miscellaneous expenses, so you won't have to carry them around and feel annoyed. You can pay me back when you have the money, Uncle, don't you think? Anyway, you have a salary now, and it arrives on time every month, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to pay me back in the future."
"By the way, I need to keep some money on hand. Just take out ten thousand or eight thousand for me, and you can keep the rest," Wang Yao said to Zhen Huai with a smile.
"You..." Zhen Huai looked at Wang Yao, about to say something more, but saw that Wang Yao had already raised his hand.
"Stop nagging. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should at least think about your aunt and the children. You can't expect your wife and kids to go and eat coarse food with you, can you?" Wang Yao frowned.
Zhen Huai looked at Wang Yao, then at Zhang Ying, sighed deeply, and nodded weakly to Zhang Ying.
"Take it, good boy. It's worth all the years I've spoiled you," Zhen Huai said softly.
"Then...then I'll go get it for you right now...?" Zhang Ying hurriedly took the document and asked Wang Yao nervously. Da Huang's spirits also lifted. It seemed to sense that it might be able to go out for some fresh air and kept circling around Zhang Ying.
"What's the rush? I... I'll call Wei Dafa, and we'll have a welcome dinner for you at the Hetang Avenue branch tonight," Zhen Huai interrupted Zhang Ying's question and said to Wang Yao.
"No need, I have urgent business to attend to in Zhidu, and besides, I can't be bothered with Wei Dafa. You should just have your aunt go and get me the money." Wang Yao hurriedly shook his head.
