Chapter 215 Greedy
At the thought of this, his heart burned.
His younger sister had died because of Lu Ze, and although he was quite sad, he was shamelessly enticed by the large sum of hush money. He did not expect that after so many years, he would get so much money from the same incident! This was enough for him to pay off his gambling debts! He might even be able to play a few rounds there. He controlled his excitement and said, “Mr. Zhou, as long as you give me 5 million yuan, I promise to do as you say in court and tell the truth! And with your status, an additional million yuan is nothing. To you, it’s just a drop in the ocean, right?”
What a greedy fellow, Zhou Feng thought.
His expression turned cold. He put his hands in his pockets and said, “No one’s money simply drops from the sky. 4 million yuan is my bottom line. Do you agree or not? If you agree, sign the contract. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”
“So you mean the deal fell through?”
Wang Dong put on a nonchalant expression and said, “If you want to deal with the Lu family, you need my help. Although I’m just a gangster with elementary education, I more or less know that Lu Yaohua’s wife is from the Tang family in Beijing—the Tang family in Beijing! What a powerhouse they are! If I get into trouble with them, won’t I lose my life?”
His words implied that 5 million yuan was equivalent to risking one’s life for money.
Zhou Feng clicked his tongue lightly. He took out his phone and played a recording. It was the entire process of Lu Yaohua bribing Wang Dong. “If I hand this evidence to the judge, do you think anyone will choose to believe you? At that time, you won’t be able to complete the mission Lu Yaohua assigned to you.
Will he let you off easily?”
Lu Ming had already gotten someone to keep an eye on the victims. As expected, Lu Yaohua had taken action. Zhou Feng happened to have the recording. The reason why he paid was to get Wang Dong to cooperate with the official investigation to save time. After all, if the Tang family found out that the officials were looking for evidence on Wang Dong, they would definitely kill him secretly!
Now, not only was it to save trouble, but it was also to completely suppress Lu Ze!
Moreover, this recording that Zhou Feng obtained could not be used as real evidence Zhou Feng was gambling on it! Based on the other party’s brain, he definitely did not know about this!
As expected, it was obvious that Wang Dong was afraid of offending Lu Yaohua. Now he had only two options: If he rejected Zhou Feng and the other party handed evidence of his bribery to the court, his words would not carry any weight. The result would be him offending Lu Yaohua. If he agreed to cooperate with Zhou Feng, He would also offend Lu Yaohua but he would have an additional 4 million yuan!
Even an idiot knew what choice to make now.
Since both options meant going against Lu Yaohua, why not take some money?
He said carefully, “Can’t you add more? 100 thousand yuan is fine too! The main thing is that I really lack money recently. You don’t want me to starve to death before the trial, right?” “Who are you kidding?”
Zhou Feng was so angry that he laughed. He said, “Don’t think I didn’t investigate you. Currently, you only have 5 million yuan in debt. In addition, Lu Yaohua gave you 2 million yuan. There’s still 1 million yuan left. That’s enough to let you live a good life. Wang Dong, don’t tell me you want to continue gambling?”
He looked away guiltily.
Zhou Feng sneered and said, “Don’t worry, I guarantee that you’ll be living well during this period. You won’t be carrying new debts at all. How about it? Are you signing or not?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dong picked up a pen and signed his name impatiently on the contract. To him, what Zhou Feng said meant that no matter how much money he lost these days, the other party would back him up. So he smiled and said, “Mr. Zhou, you’re really straightforward! I’ll send the bill to you.”
Bill?
Zhou Feng asked, “What bill?”
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Wang Dong hurriedly explained, “Aren’t you going to reimburse me no matter how much money I lose? Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word?”
Zhou Feng immediately understood what the person in front of him meant. He sneered and said, “That’s not what I mean. What I mean is that your actions will be restricted these days. My boss has already informed all the gambling dens in Shanghai that you are banned from entering any place where you can gamble. Otherwise, you will be our enemy!”
Banned?
Wang Dong was shocked as he said, “How, how could you do this!? Aren’t you taking my life! If I don’t gamble, what’s the point of living? You can’t treat me like this! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose this matter? Worse comes to worst, we’ll fight it out!”
“The contract states clearly that if you dare to breach the contract, you will have to pay us 100 million yuan as compensation.”
Zhou Feng pointed at the back of the contract and said, “Before the verdict is out, not only can you not go to the gambling den, but you also can’t commit suicide. Otherwise, we will publicize the shady things you did!”
