Chapter 22 Extortion

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Extortion

Each person owes three hundred thirty thousand yuan, which isn’t a small amount. Many families don’t earn that much in a year.

Among those present, only He Ping and Zhang Xiaoyou’s families have assets in the tens of millions, while the others are just ordinary second-generation rich, with families maxing out at a few million. So, for them, three hundred thirty thousand is absolutely not money they can just take out easily, and families with a few million wouldn’t give their kids tens of thousands as pocket money.

Not even He Ping and Zhang Xiaoyou could pull out that much money at once. They indeed have a lot of pocket money, but their expenses are high, and they can’t save much.

So, everyone present was utterly dumbfounded, their faces as pale as paper.

Dong Zhiping sneered inwardly. Didn’t you bully Qin Wan’er for not being able to come up with ten thousand yuan? I want to see how much money you all really have.

"Stop standing around cluelessly, pay up and get out, or do you plan on staying overnight? If you do, that’ll be extra. Surely you mustn’t lack money, right? Tens of thousands should be nothing to you all."

Nothing?

Even if they weren’t short on money, they couldn’t come up with such an amount. After all, they were just students.

"Mr. Dong, my father is..."

"I know your father is Zhang Xianling, a petty official not worth mentioning in front of me. He might scare some ordinary folks, but in front of me, he’s nothing."

Dong Zhiping cut off Zhang Xiaoyou’s words, his expression filled with panic.

"You can’t get away with dining and dashing here. Without money, you’re not leaving. If you can’t pay, I’ll allow you to call your families to send money."

Speaking, Dong Zhiping slowly stood up and turned to Qin Wan’er, "Wan’er, are you satisfied with how I’m handling this?"

Qin Wan’er stared blankly at Dong Zhiping, unable to gather her thoughts for a long while.

Dong Zhiping chuckled lightly, "Forget it, I’ll take you out first, and leave the rest to me."

Qin Wan’er stood up, walked over to pick up her bag, and looked sadly at her broken phone, thrown by He Ping. The phone was broken, but the card was still good, so she took it out.

Dong Zhiping’s eyes flashed, "Who broke this phone?"

Qin Wan’er instinctively looked at He Ping.

Dong Zhiping sneered, pointing at He Ping, "You broke my sister’s phone, so you’ll pay thirty-four thousand, one thousand for the phone isn’t much."

Qin Wan’er was startled, "Brother Dong, m-my phone isn’t worth that much money..."

"It’s okay, Brother Dong is just extorting them, and this money is for you. Later, I’ll send it to you, and you can buy a new one."

"No need, Brother Dong..."

"Alright, seeing you so scared. Why are you so timid, kid? We’ll talk about it later. It’s getting late, I’ll take you down now."

Qin Wan’er hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Dong. I can go down myself."

"No problem, since their families will take some time to send the money, I’m free now, so I’ll walk you down and get some fresh air."

Qin Wan’er bent down and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Dong!"

Dong Zhiping escorted Qin Wan’er downstairs, and Qin Yi hurriedly wheeled over.

"Brother?" Qin Wan’er saw Qin Yi and quickly ran over.

"Wan’er, are you okay?" Qin Yi asked worriedly, looking over Qin Wan’er.

"I’m fine. I’m sorry for making you worry!" Qin Wan’er said, full of guilt, feeling bad for making her brother worry, especially since he had come all this way despite his condition.

"As long as you’re okay!" Qin Yi sighed with slight relief.

"Oh right, Brother, this is Brother Dong, who helped me." Qin Wan’er hurriedly introduced Dong Zhiping to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi gratefully said, "Thank you, Brother Dong!"

"You’re welcome, it was just a favor requested by someone else. It’s getting late, take Wan’er home quickly."

Qin Yi and Qin Wan’er thanked him again, said goodbye to Dong Zhiping, then hailed a cab by the roadside.

"Oh no, I forgot to return Brother Dong’s jacket." On the road, Qin Wan’er suddenly realized she was still wearing Dong Zhiping’s coat.

Qin Yi smiled, "You can return it when you have time."

"Yeah, I’ll wash it and give it back to Brother Dong. Brother, you don’t know how lucky I was tonight. Without Brother Dong, I’d be in big trouble. Brother Dong is amazing; those who bullied me got it bad from him. I was so scared I couldn’t even speak. Did you know, Brother Dong is the owner of that KTV."

Feeling relaxed in front of Qin Yi, Qin Wan’er became quite talkative.

Qin Yi grinned, hearing Qin Wan’er’s endless chatter and was quite pleased with how Dong Zhiping handled the situation.

"Brother, Brother Dong said he was entrusted to protect me. Who do you think asked him to?"

Qin Yi chuckled and shook his head.

"Do you think it could be sister-in-law? Only someone as impressive as her would know someone as powerful as Brother Dong, right?"

Qin Yi nodded and smiled, "Could be, I guess?"

At their doorstep, Qin Yi got off with the help of the driver and sat in the wheelchair while Qin Wan’er pushed him inside the villa.

As soon as they opened the door, Qin Yi felt an off atmosphere, with Xia Yujiang, Dong Jinsu, and Xia Yanbing all seated in the living room.

"Where on earth have you been till now? Come home so late; if you have the guts, don’t come back." Dong Jinsu started scolding as soon as she saw Qin Yi and Qin Wan’er enter.

"This is getting worse and worse. Do you think this is a hotel, coming back whenever you want?" Xia Yujiang said with a stern face.

Qin Yi replied calmly, "Wan’er’s classmate had a birthday tonight, and something happened. I went to pick her up."

"Wan’er, are you okay?" Xia Yanbing asked, looking at Qin Wan’er with a clear, cold voice mixed with concern.

Just as Qin Wan’er opened her mouth, Dong Jinsu stood up and yelled, "Oh, coming back with a man’s coat on? Were you out flirting with some guy?"

"Mom, Wan’er has always been well-behaved. Is it appropriate for you to say that as an elder?" Xia Yanbing frowned.

Qin Yi’s expression darkened. If Xia Yanbing hadn’t spoken up, he definitely wouldn’t have held back this time.

Dong Jinsu snickered, "She comes back wearing a man’s coat, and I can’t even ask? Smell that alcohol on her; who knows what she’s been up to outside?"

"A classmate’s birthday is a joyous occasion. Having a drink is normal." Xia Yanbing said calmly, standing up and walking over, looking surprised at the suit Qin Wan’er was wearing, "Wan’er, whose coat is this? This is a handmade design, likely by a master designer, and this jacket alone is worth at least a hundred thousand."

Qin Wan’er was really shocked, discovering the coat she was wearing wasn’t just an outer garment but felt like a mountain pressing down on her, hastily taking it off.

"Sister-in-law, I really didn’t know the coat was this expensive. I’ll wash it and return it to your friend. I have to thank your friend for helping me tonight." Qin Wan’er spoke in a panic.

"Xiaobing, is this coat really worth a hundred thousand?" Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu came over, eyes shining. Although they had some money, the most expensive clothes they had were worth two or three thousand at most, and they’d never seen a hundred-thousand-yuan coat before.
