Chapter 1010: That's Extortion

"Leaving? You haven't paid the fine yet. Does your mother really think she's so clever that we'll just let it go once you've come in?" A security guard grabbed the little girl by the collar fiercely.

"What are you doing? She's just a child, let her go," Bai Muyu said angrily. "You're scaring the little girl."

"Beauty, our scenic area has its own rules. If you don't understand them, don't meddle," a security guard barked. "There are too many people like her. Our boss has given the word: catch her once, fine her a thousand."

"I'll pay the thousand, just let her go," Chen Yu said. "Don't make things difficult for a little girl."

The two security guards exchanged a glance. Both felt that Chen Yu was just one of those foolish, rich, bleeding hearts. This scenic area was a high-end villa hot spring resort, and they had seen too many people like him. Greed immediately took hold of them.

"Fine, you can pay the fine for her," the security guard said, pulling out a payment code. "Scan this. No receipts."

Chen Yu took out his phone, scanned the payment code, and paid the fine. "I've paid it. Let her go."

"Let her go? I'm afraid that won't work," the security guard sneered. "That was the fine for you. We still have to fine her for her money."

"How can you be like this? I'm going to report you," Bai Muyu said, angry. How could there be such people?

"Feel free to report us, but the fine must be paid. This little girl hasn't just come in to sell flowers once; we can't just let it slide when she's caught," a security guard laughed. "Besides, some guests don't learn their lesson, so they have to be fined too."

"I really won't come again. I beg you, let me go. My mother is still waiting for me," the little girl cried in fear.

"Let her go. I'll pay the fine," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Fine, you've got money, you're the boss," a security guard said. He put the little girl down, then kicked her basket over, crushing the flowers inside into pieces. "I'm warning you, if you dare come again, I'll lock you up."

Chen Yu paid the fine, then grabbed Bai Muyu, who was about to lose her temper. He smiled and said, "I've paid the money, but I bought these flowers. You've crushed my property, so pay up."

"Make us pay? Don't even think about it," a security guard sneered. "Friend, you're here from out of town, right? Let me warn you once: don't go looking for trouble. You can't afford to mess with the people here."

"You really do have shallow waters and many turtles here," Chen Yu laughed. He said calmly, "I'll give you one more chance. Pay for my flowers, or else..."

Chen Yu stomped on the ground. Crack! A web of cracks instantly spread out from under his feet, extending in all directions for a full five or six meters.

The faces of the two security guards turned pale. Only then did they realize that this time, they had provoked someone they could not afford to offend.

"Well? Pay up, or shall I reason with you?" Chen Yu smiled.

"Your flowers are two hundred, the basket is three hundred. I'll pay," one security guard said quickly. He wasn't about to suffer this loss.

"Sorry, the flowers and the basket are thirty thousand," Chen Yu said. "These are flowers I'm giving to a girl; their meaning is priceless. Asking for thirty thousand is already a low price."

"Don't go too far. We are from the scenic area's Security Department," a security guard said with a dark face.

"Security Department?" Chen Yu sneered and slapped him across the face.

Slap! The security guard's face swelled up rapidly. He clutched his face, unable to even let out a fart.

Soon, the manager of the Security Department rushed over. After understanding the situation, he kept apologizing to Chen Yu.

"Apologizing to me is useless. Your people dared to extort money so blatantly; if you say this wasn't with your tacit approval, I wouldn't believe it for a second," Chen Yu said calmly. "Thirty thousand yuan for my mental distress. That's not too much, is it?"

The Security Department manager was helpless. Because someone special was visiting the scenic area today, the area was under crowd control. He also knew that Chen Yu and Bai Muyu were special guests, so he had no choice but to order the two to pay.

The security guards' wages were not high; this thirty thousand was nearly half a year's pay for the two of them. After paying the money, they left sheepishly.

Chen Yu, of course, did not want the money. He turned and gave it to the little girl.

"No, big brother, I can't take this money," the little girl shook her head repeatedly. "Mom told me I can't take money that isn't mine."

"This money is what they owe you. They damaged your basket and your flowers, so they paid you. This is fair," Chen Yu said.

"My basket isn't worth that much. Thank you, big brother," the little girl gave Chen Yu a sweet smile, thanked him, and left.

"Let's go. It's almost noon, I'll treat you to lunch," Chen Yu checked the time. It was nearly noon, so he stood up.

"Okay," Bai Muyu stood up, and they walked out together.

Just then, a waitress walked over slowly. When she was five meters away, Chen Yu felt the Mental Power radiating from her.

Chen Yu quickly shielded Bai Muyu behind him. Almost at the same time, a group of Tianyuan Pavilion members disguised as tourists surged out and lunged at the waitress.

The members of Tianyuan Pavilion were specially trained. Everyone instantly sensed that the aura radiating from the waitress was abnormal.

In fact, fifty percent of the tourists today were from various departments, so as soon as a problem arose, a crowd swarmed over.

Seeing the situation was bad, the waitress flashed away and fled to one side. The group followed closely, and finally, she jumped into a hot spring pool with a splash and disappeared without a trace.

The group stood around the hot spring pool, dazed. Suddenly, someone realized: "It's a diversion."

Everyone suddenly woke up. By the time they turned back, Chen Yu and Bai Muyu had already disappeared from the cafe.

Chen Yu drove, speeding with Bai Muyu. Because when everyone rushed toward the waitress, Chen Yu had suddenly caught a glimpse of Tang Xue.

Tang Xue, in the crowd, smiled slightly at Chen Yu and then quickly turned and left. Chen Yu chased after her with Bai Muyu.

"Chen Yu, who was that person?" Bai Muyu asked.

"A friend of mine. She ran into some trouble, so I must bring her back," Chen Yu slammed on the gas.

Tang Xue had turned love into hate. The last time he saw her was in Jinling; she had already been controlled by the God Lord.

So, after returning to Jing this time, Chen Yu hadn't known how to tell Tang Xinyi about this. He knew Tang Xue was luring him, but he had to go, because only by finding her could he pull her back.

Seeing an undeveloped scenic area ahead, the car could no longer drive in, but Tang Xue's aura was right in front. Chen Yu pulled Bai Muyu out of the car.
