"No, you saved my life, that's worth far more than showing off a skill, one hundred million! I'll give you one hundred million!"
"No, no, no, that would make me seem stingy. Two hundred million! Zhou Yang, no, Brother Zhou, Hero Zhou!"
"Consider these two hundred million as my way of showing my gratitude to you for saving my life. From now on, you're like my own brother!"
At this moment, Du Zhe's eyes were like those of a primary school student seeing Ultraman, filled with blind worship and fervor, almost as if he wanted to kowtow to Zhou Yang on the spot.
He acted as if to say, "I declare that from today onwards, you are my half-brother and idol."
"..."
Zhou Yang and Xu Yao, who was next to him, were completely dumbfounded.
My goodness, two hundred million?
He just blurted it out like that?! Is this what they call "money power"?
Poverty has limited my imagination!
Zhou Yang was overwhelmed with emotion, wondering when he would ever earn such an astronomical sum after all his hard work setting up a stall and completing tasks.
Xu Yao's mouth was slightly open as she looked at Du Zhe and then at Zhou Yang, her eyes filled with a sense of absurdity, as if to say, "This world is too crazy; even mice are serving as bridesmaids for cats."
Qin Yumo rubbed her forehead, feeling her blood pressure soaring again.
She took a deep breath and growled at Du Zhe, "Du Zhe! Stop acting crazy! Two hundred million? Do you think money grows on trees?! Go and fix yourself up! You're an embarrassment!"
Two hundred million!
Zhou Yang had seen some money before, but he was still taken aback by Du Zhe's extravagant spending.
But who is Zhou Yang?
He is the chosen one with a gourmet system!
How could I possibly bow down for a mere two hundred million!
Besides, Zhou Yang saved people with his own abilities, so why should he put on a show for him like a monkey?
"I won't do it."
Zhou Yang's answer remained concise and clear, without the slightest hesitation, as if Du Zhe had just said not two hundred million, but two cents.
Want to see a monkey show? No way! We've welded the windows shut too!
"No! Brother Zhou! My own brother!"
Upon hearing this, Du Zhe's mud-covered face immediately fell, showing a hint of grievance, like a two-hundred-pound child who hadn't gotten any candy.
"Please! Let me just admire your amazing skills one more time! It was too fast, I didn't even see it clearly! I promise, just one glance! Just one glance!"
As he yelled, he tried to rub against Zhou Yang, looking exactly like a large canine trying to act cute and affectionate.
However, the size and appearance of this "cute creature" are really not flattering.
Zhou Yang's forehead veins throbbed from his clingy behavior. Just as that greasy head, covered in dirt and succulent leaves, was about to rub against his freshly changed clean clothes, a nameless anger flared up.
Is this never going to end?! Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Hello Kitty!
"So noisy!"
Zhou Yang gave a low shout, and his right hand shot out as fast as lightning, his index and middle fingers together, and gently touched a spot on the side of Du Zhe's neck!
The movement was so fast that onlookers could only see a blur.
"Smack!"
A barely perceptible soft sound.
Du Zhe, who was clinging to Zhou Yang's arm and preparing to put on a "macho man whimpering" act, suddenly stopped talking!
He opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he could only utter monosyllables like "hoho... ee-ee... ya-ya..."
The sweet words (?) and coquettish advances that were about to spill out were instantly stilled in the womb!
Du Zhe: "!!!!"
His eyes widened, and he touched his neck in disbelief. He tried to speak again, but all he could manage was "ee-yah-yah," unable to utter a single complete word!
Holy crap! I...I'm mute?!
After the initial shock came endless panic, which was then replaced by an even more fervent worship!
The way he looked at Zhou Yang could no longer be described as looking at a "brother"; it was as if he were looking at a god walking among mortals!
Acupressure?! This is the legendary acupressure!
My God! Zhou Ge is awesome! Zhou Ge is incredibly handsome! Zhou Ge, I'm bowing down to you!
Du Zhe was so excited that he danced around, pointing to his mouth while frantically bowing to Zhou Yang.
His eyes held both utter admiration and a hint of pleading, "Boss, spare me! Untie me!"
His comical appearance almost made Xu Yao, who was standing next to him, laugh.
"Zhou Yang! What...what did you do to him?!"
Qin Yumo was startled by this sudden scene and quickly reminded Zhou Yang.
"Why is he speechless! This is the only son of the Du Group! If his parents knew... they'd tear you apart!"
Qin Yumo was genuinely starting to panic.
The Du couple were notoriously protective of their son; if anything happened to him, the entire Jindu would tremble!
Zhou Yang, however, remained calm and composed. He glanced at Du Zhe, who was jumping around like a monkey whose tail had been stepped on, and spoke indifferently.
"Don't worry, he won't die. We just silenced him for a while by pressing a pressure point to make him mute."
"It will automatically expire after about one or two hours, at which point he can continue his 'passionate speech'."
This spoiled brat has energy as boundless as a husky. If he's not allowed to calm down soon, I'm afraid I'll lose my temper and knock him out.
"Acupressure?!"
Qin Yumo gasped, and the way she looked at Zhou Yang completely changed!
If the previous "plucking leaves and flying flowers" could be barely explained by words like "quick eyes and hands" or "coincidence," then...
That "pressure point technique" is truly beyond their comprehension!
What era are we living in? How can there still be such magical skills that only exist in martial arts novels and TV series?
This...this doesn't make sense!
Qin Yumo felt that her worldview was being shattered and rebuilt little by little by Zhou Yang.
Du Zhe was so excited that he almost performed a backflip on the spot for Zhou Yang!
He pointed at Zhou Yang, then at himself, gesturing in a "ee-yah-yah" manner.
The message was clearly: "Master! Amazing person! Please take me on as your apprentice! You can pay the tuition! I'll learn even if it means going bankrupt!"
Xu Yao's large, watery eyes were also filled with shock and curiosity.
As Zhou Yang's "new girlfriend," she realized that her understanding of Zhou Yang seemed to be limited to the fact that he could cook delicious food, was quite handsome, and was occasionally a little mysterious.
Now it seems that Zhou Yang is more than just a little mysterious; he's as mysterious as a mother hen, mysterious to the extreme!
In this strange yet somewhat comical atmosphere, the security captain who had gone to investigate earlier returned panting with two of his men, each holding a tablet computer.
"President Qin! Young Master Du!"
The security captain ran up to him, gave a somewhat awkward salute, and then reported breathlessly.
"We found it! We pulled up the surveillance footage! That...that flowerpot fell down, it...it wasn't done by someone!"
