Chapter 489 Start Asking for a Price
The massive door was kicked open with a thud, and a blond man rushed in.
That's right, this person is our classmate, Ye Xiaofan. And that hair, it's freshly done.
At this moment, Xiaofan is wearing some bizarre clothes, sporting yellow hair, in the classic image of a gangster.
As soon as he entered, he pointed at Bai Xue and started cursing.
Huo Xiangdong looked at Xiaofan in panic, completely at a loss.
And Bai Xue? Even more bewildered. She had no idea what was going on, looking at her captain with a confused expression.
"Get up," Xiaofan stepped forward, grabbed Bai Xue, and pulled her up.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" Huo Xiangdong immediately walked over trying to stop Xiaofan; the money was spent, after all, she's his for tonight.
"Move aside, you old scoundrel. You dare touch my woman?"
"Who... who are you? Security, security!"
"Call security? The head of security here is my buddy. If it weren't for him telling me my woman was brought here, I wouldn't even know about this."
"Stop it, okay? I agreed to this." Even if Bai Xue was a bit clueless, she should have at least figured it out by now.
"Did you hear that? Now get out of here or I'll have someone take care of you tonight," Huo Xiangdong shouted loudly.
"Take care of me? Who do you think you are? Wait, isn't this Director Huo?" Xiaofan pretended to realize his identity belatedly.
"Hey, it's good you recognize me. Since you can't give Bai Xue happiness, don't bother her anymore," Huo Xiangdong thought Xiaofan was scared of him and immediately spoke in a high-and-mighty tone.
"Yes, recognizing you is great." After throwing this remark, Xiaofan walked to the door, closed it, and blocked it with a chair.
"You... what are you trying to do?"
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. You're a director, and yet you're in a place like this, flirting with my girlfriend. If this gets out, what do you think will happen?"
"You dare threaten me? I'll make sure you don't see the sunrise tomorrow."
"Oh, what an opportunity to make money. Let's talk, how much hush money are you planning to give us?" Xiaofan completely ignored the threat.
"You brat, just you wait." Huo Xiangdong realized it was pointless to argue, so he took big steps forward, intending to go downstairs and get the club staff to deal with Xiaofan first.
"Want to leave? Did you ask me?" Xiaofan reached out and forcefully pushed Huo Xiangdong onto the waterbed.
"You, you..." Huo Xiangdong was panicking now; clearly, Xiaofan wasn't scared of his power at all.
Indeed, if he were outside, he could easily take care of ten scoundrels like him, but inside this room, his old bones were truly no match for Xiaofan.
"Dare to mess with my woman? Not gonna pay? Hush money, or I'll make sure your scandal hits the headlines tomorrow and you'll be picking up soap in prison the day after."
"How much do you want? She was going for one and a half million, I'll give you two million." Stabilize this guy first; even if he gets the money, Huo could eliminate him as soon as he leaves the room.
"Two million? Are you kidding me?"
"Three million..."
"No, three hundred million."
"What, what? Hahahaha, you must be out of your mind, three hundred million? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Huo Xiangdong thought the guy was a fool; how could he possibly ask for three hundred million.
"You don't have to pay. If you think going to jail is simpler than paying three hundred million, then by all means, don't pay." Xiaofan said calmly.
"I haven't done anything, and you have no evidence."
"Sure, I don't have evidence of you being here..."
What? Didn't he plant cameras or bugs? Upon hearing Xiaofan's words, Bai Xue suddenly looked at him in shock.
"But... you haven't forgotten the 15 million bribe you received from Li Yong three days ago, have you? And using your connections a week ago, you received another 8 million. Adding to the previous amounts..."
"How... how do you know?"
"Oh, I just cracked open your home safe. Here's your key, take it back..." With the doors shut, Xiaofan didn't need to hide anymore. He pulled out a small key and tossed it to Huo Xiangdong.
Seeing the familiar key, Huo Xiangdong instinctively felt his body, and sure enough, the key he never touched was indeed missing.
"You... you guys..."
"Yes, we did it on purpose, specifically set you up. Who told you to be so rich? My girlfriend, she's beautiful, right? I haven't even had a chance with her, and you think you can? Dream on." Xiaofan pulled Bai Xue into his arms and said with a face full of audacity.
"Bastard, you're dead."
"Whether I live or die is my problem, but if you don't give me three hundred million, you're definitely finished." Xiaofan continued to threaten.
"Three hundred million? Impossible... it's too much."
"No, three hundred million is not too much, in fact, it's just a small part. I also want the equity you invested in the three other groups. By tomorrow afternoon, you must transfer all those shares to me, or your evidence will be sent to all famous media in XG, including the prosecutor's office, shortly after."
"You, you, you guys..."
"We're only in it for the money. As long as you agree, your matter will never be exposed." Xiaofan said calmly.
"I don't trust you."
"You don't have a choice. You can only choose to trust me, while I still have the patience to talk to you here."
Indeed, Huo Xiangdong had no choice; he could only compromise. He didn't even have a chance to argue.
Downstairs, Li San looked at the over thirty million in his account, chuckling as he took off his clothes, then looked at the tied-up staff and security guards behind him.
"Sorry, bear with it for a little longer, it'll be over soon."
"Hey, did you guys set up the cameras or not? Will they work? If they don't, all of Bai Xue's efforts would be wasted."
"Cameras? Didn't set them up."
"What? Then, then you guys..."
"Ruyu, I got money now, let's go shopping tomorrow, okay?"
"Get lost, don't touch me, you men are all bad. Bai Xue treats the captain so well usually, yet he dared to do this. Don't come looking for me anymore; for all I know, you'd sell me out one day, and I'll still help you count the money."
"How could I? I'm so innocent, I wouldn't do anything bad. Even if you sold me, I'd willingly count the money for you," Li San said sweetly.
"Go away..."
"Huh? What little game are you two playing? It's handled, let's go." Just then, Xiaofan walked into the private room slowly, with Bai Xue thrilled, holding onto Xiaofan's arm, beaming with happiness.
"What's going on here?" Ruyu asked with a confused look as she watched the two.
