Chapter 384
Qin's father remembered.
Qin Huairu often talked about the strange things in the Sihe Academy.
She said Wan Ping'an was killing it everywhere, and the Sihe Academy's First Elder, Yi Zhonghai, had tried to deal with Wan Ping'an many times, but was beaten to a pulp by Wan Ping'an.
"There is only one Yi Zhonghai at the rolling mill; it must be him!"
Wan Ping'an nodded.
"Let's talk about compensation; you spread rumors and damaged my reputation—this is a big deal; we want—you compensate me two hundred!"
Wan Ping'an stared at Zhang Laizi.
"Two hundred?"
"Even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth two hundred yuan."
Zhang Laizi was anxious.
He only took twenty yuan as a reward, and Wan Ping'an actually wanted two hundred yuan from him!
Wasn't this forcing him to die?
Where was he supposed to get it?
"I have another way; you don't have to compensate me a single cent, and I don't want your twenty yuan either."
Wan Ping'an didn't intend to let Yi Zhonghai off the hook.
He didn't know if he should go himself.
Let Zhang Laizi go!
"As long as you don't make me pay, any way is fine; tell me!"
Zhang Laizi, like Jia Zhangshi, valued money more than his life!
"You're helping Yi Zhonghai spread rumors, right?"
"Find him, ask him for five hundred yuan; if he doesn't give it to you, go report him to the subdistrict office, go report him to the police station, go report him to the rolling mill!"
"If you make a scene, he definitely won't be able to be the First Elder anymore, and he might not even be able to keep his job; he will definitely give you the money!"
"The money he gives you will be the compensation you pay me."
Wan Ping'an stated his plan.
Zhang Laizi looked Wan Ping'an up and down, as if he didn't recognize him.
"You are much more ruthless than me!"
"Helping people spread rumors is tiring and scary, and I only earned twenty yuan!"
"You're good—you're asking for five hundred yuan directly; will Yi Zhonghai give it?"
A trace of greed flashed in Zhang Laizi's eyes.
"It's not a question of whether he will give it, but does he dare not to?"
"The three places I told you about—the subdistrict office, the police station, and the rolling mill—are all places that people are afraid of; he won't dare to let you make a scene."
"Five hundred yuan isn't much for Yi Zhonghai; he will definitely be willing to spend money to avoid disaster."
Wan Ping'an had already calculated it.
Yi Zhonghai's family definitely didn't have that many savings; the savings had all been compensated to him.
With Yi Zhonghai's ability, if he went out to borrow and scrape together, he would definitely be able to scrape together five hundred yuan; if he asked for one thousand, that would be another matter.
Zhang Laizi agreed.
It was settled.
Tomorrow was a day off, and Yi Zhonghai would definitely be at home; he would go to the Sihe Academy to collect the debt.
"Five hundred yuan, such a huge sum of money; can you give me some hardship pay?"
Zhang Laizi was a bit unwilling.
"Do you want to die?"
Wan Ping'an glared coldly at him.
"No, I don't want to die, I don't want it anymore, okay?"
Zhang Laizi shivered.
Thinking of Wan Ping'an's terror.
Just a moment ago, he was almost choked to death; he didn't dare to gamble on whether Wan Ping'an dared to choke him to death.
If he won the gamble, Wan Ping'an wouldn't dare.
But what if he lost the gamble?
His life would be gone!
He didn't have the courage to use his life as a bet.
Wan Ping'an had seen it—Zhang Laizi was too afraid of death, so he used death to threaten him; Zhang Laizi had indeed lost his nerve!
Leaving the Zhang family.
Returning to the Qin family.
"Ping'an, you were too reckless just now; you can't do this in the future!"
Qin's father was very worried about Wan Ping'an.
"Uncle, do you think I was reckless?"
"No, you're wrong; it wasn't reckless at all."
"First, I saw that Zhang Laizi was afraid of death; second, I am a martial arts master and have a very deep understanding of human anatomy—I have precise control!"
"I have the confidence to choke Zhang Laizi to the point of half-death, but I won't really take his life!"
"If he refused to confess, I would have changed methods!"
Wan Ping'an smiled.
His life was precious, so he wouldn't gamble it with Zhang Laizi.
"You even fooled me just now; I thought you were really going to gamble with him on whose life was bigger!"
Whew!
Qin's father breathed a long sigh of relief.
Qin Dayong and Qin Xiaoyong also nodded repeatedly.
"Uncle, wait a while—when we get home, don't mention what I just did, so as not to worry Huairu and the others."
Wan Ping'an instructed.
Qin's father nodded.
Night.
Wan Ping'an went home.
The next morning.
Zhang Laizi came to the Sihe Academy.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Yan Fugui stopped Zhang Laizi.
"I'm looking for Yi Zhonghai; he lives here, right?"
Zhang Laizi looked at the Sihe Academy curiously.
It was much better than the village!
"Yes!"
"Do you have business with him?"
Yan Fugui asked casually.
"It's a private matter between us; where does he live?"
Zhang Laizi didn't want to say.
If it got big and was exposed, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't give the money.
"Middle courtyard, east wing; if you go to the middle courtyard and ask, you'll know."
Yan Fugui pointed the way.
Zhang Laizi went to the middle courtyard and happened to run into Wan Ping'an.
Zhang Laizi shivered; he was too afraid of Wan Ping'an.
Wan Ping'an pointed casually.
Zhang Laizi understood; the direction pointed must be Yi Zhonghai's house.
