"You kidnapped me just so you could ask my grandfather if all he wanted was 100 million?"
"Just one hundred million? That flippant tone is infuriating!"
"You rich young master will never know our suffering!"
“I understand you. I wasn’t rich from the beginning either. My grandfather was just a scavenger.”
"Who would believe your nonsense!"
"A scavenger, huh? Who are you trying to fool!"
One of the disciples lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, it seems to be true!"
"This big boss started from scratch; before starting his business, he was just a scavenger."
The senior apprentice sneered: "These entrepreneurial tycoons always make their backgrounds sound tragic in order to enhance their image. They say they came from slums or remote mountain villages, just to show how capable they are. They claim they can become big shots even without connections or background! These stories only fool the ignorant. Don't try to fool me!"
"How could the Han Group have grown so large without any backing?"
"Senior brother, once we have 100 million, we can buy cars and houses, and we can also start a business!"
"We can get married now!"
"This society is so unfair. The rich have countless houses and cars. The gap between the rich and the poor is too big!"
"From now on, I can hold my head high when I go on blind dates. I'll be someone who owns a house and a car!"
Just as they were dreaming about the future, Han Chengsi scoffed.
"Hey kid, what are you laughing at?"
Are you making fun of us?
"You've fallen into our hands, and you still dare to laugh at us! Are you tired of living, asking for a beating?"
"I'm laughing at your naivety. You kidnapped me, demanded 100 million from my grandfather, and even after getting the money, do you really think you can live with your heads held high from now on?"
"When your blind date asks you what you do for a living and how you earned so much money to buy a car and a house, can you really stand up straight and answer?"
"When you get married and have children in the future, and your children ask you how you earned your first pot of gold, can you really stand up straight and answer your children?"
"This..." The twelve people looked at each other, feeling ashamed.
The senior student in charge shook his head vigorously and shouted angrily, "Don't try to brainwash us! Wake up, all of you! In this society, money talks, nobody cares what you did before!"
"Now that I know your identities, after you get the money, you only have two choices: one is to wander the world and escape abroad, and the other is to kill me to cover it up, so that you will never know who kidnapped me, killed me, or who got the hundred million."
Someone panicked: "Senior brother, we can't kill anyone!"
"Senior brother, we only kidnapped them for money. Let's release them after we get the money. We can't kill them!"
"Senior brother, we dare not kill anyone!"
"Shut up, all of you! Didn't you hear him say there are two paths?"
"If we don't kill him, are we just going to have to wander the world and escape abroad? Senior brother, I don't speak any foreign languages, how am I going to live abroad?"
"I can't go abroad either, I still have younger siblings to support!"
"I can't possibly take my whole family abroad, can I?"
"I've become a criminal, a fugitive. Even if I wanted to take my family with me, they wouldn't want to come with me!"
At this point, a disagreement arose. Some people felt that if one wanted to wander the world, one could do so; with money, one could live a carefree life even abroad.
Some people objected, saying they had families and didn't want to bring shame upon their families by being labeled criminals.
"Quiet down! What's all the noise about? Let's get the money first!"
Han Chengsi sighed: "There are many ways to make money, but you chose the most foolish one. Why don't you make money through your own abilities?"
"Making money through one's own abilities?"
"Didn't we try?"
"You've seen how hard we work, getting up early and working late every day!"
“You’ve been our legal counsel all this time, and you know how hard we’ve worked!”
"But our efforts are not being rewarded at all; our income is not commensurate with our efforts!"
Why is it that our efforts have gone unrewarded?!
"Just because we earn money honestly, just because we are kind and kind, just because we are not ruthless enough! If you want to make money, you have to be ruthless!"
Han Chengsi sneered: "Your ruthlessness is to kidnap me or kill me to silence me?"
"Yes, I have indeed seen your efforts, and I also want to help you. I am here today to give you advice and help you make money!"
"What have you given me in return? Kidnapping me? Or killing me?"
"You say your efforts have been in vain, but have you ever considered that meeting me, meeting my grandfather, is the beginning of the reward?"
"You guys are just too stupid. You haven't even started to reap the rewards yet, and you're already trying to flip the table!"
"What did you say?"
"Are you going to help us make money today?"
"Don't believe him! He's just playing tricks. Why did he have to lead us to make money now of all times? It's because he's now in our hands that he's saying these things!"
"Senior brother, let's hear how he'll guide us to make money!"
“That’s right, senior brother. We don’t want to wander the world, nor do we want to become murderers.”
"Senior brother, let's hear what he has to say."
"You brat, if you keep spouting nonsense and can't come up with a single logical explanation, I'll definitely kill you!"
“You know martial arts and have good acting skills. You can work as stunt doubles or martial arts instructors at my grandfather’s entertainment company. Those who are good-looking may be able to get some minor roles.”
"Secondly, the reason I came here this time is because my fifth brother is going to start a live stream and is going to put shopping links in the live stream room. At that time, netizens can buy things from him. They will buy products from the Han Group. We need a dedicated transit station. I suggest you open a courier station to specifically handle the business of the Han Group."
"Working as a martial arts instructor or stunt double doesn't pay well, but the money from the courier station is much more stable. Plus, my fifth brother is very popular, so business will definitely be good."
"Ha, that's it? You think you can make us a hundred million?"
"Senior brother, don't be like that. I think the ways he mentioned to make money are pretty good. They're more stable than our lion dance."
"Yes, senior brother, I don't want to kidnap anymore."
"Senior brother, if we can avoid breaking the law, shouldn't we pull back from the brink?"
"Senior brother, you're good-looking. Maybe you can get a supporting role on stage. Once you become famous, you can make a lot of money!"
The senior brother wavered, frowning as he looked at Han Chengsi: "You kid, you just made this up on the spot, didn't you?"
“I’m not lying to you. You can watch the replay of my fifth brother’s live stream. He suggested posting a link yesterday, and I thought of you guys, so I came here.”
"I'll go take a look!"
"Senior brother, he wasn't lying."
"Senior brother, we misunderstood him. He genuinely wanted to help us."
"Senior brother, we can't repay kindness with enmity. Let's be good people!"
"Senior brother, just like he said, maybe our efforts really will pay off. Meeting him is the reward that's coming!"
"Senior brother, let's stop!"
"I hope you don't try anything funny. You guys can go now."
Han Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two bodyguards thought to themselves: "Fourth Young Master is amazing! He turned the situation around with just a few words! From a victim who was kidnapped and almost killed, he has become a source of reward and hope in the eyes of this group!"
Han Chengsi didn't leave, but asked, "Were those two people blocking the way professional actors?"
"No, it's my cousin and uncle," the senior brother in charge said. "My cousin and uncle worked as extras. They heard it was lucrative, so they worked as extras for three years. They may have improved their acting skills, but they didn't make any money."
"Bring your cousin and uncle along, I'll take you to Han's Entertainment Company for an interview right now."
Han Chengsi learned from Xiao Wu that the entertainment company was making a big move recently, and each director had a task to produce 100 TV series within three years.
In this situation, there will definitely be a shortage of stunt doubles.
Han Chengsi might feel guilty about hiring someone else as a stunt double—what if something goes wrong? But these people…
Han Chengsi lowered his eyes, concealing the dangerous and gloomy look in them.
They want to kidnap him?
There's always a price to pay, isn't there?
