Chapter 138: Strong Backing

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Strong Backing

"Mom, what should we do? Should we call Dad? He knows a lot of people; he must have a way," Liang Qian was completely panicked.

If they couldn’t come up with the money, the other party would really sue and call the police. She didn’t want to get involved in a lawsuit; how could she go on if she had a criminal record?

Li Feng’s face looked incredibly ugly. She had thought the bracelet was worth at most tens of thousands, maybe 100,000 yuan at most, but it turned out to be 10 million! Even if they sold both mother and daughter, they wouldn’t have that much money.

"Wait here, I’ll call your dad." Li Feng hurriedly took out her phone and went outside.

However, there were so many students standing outside eavesdropping that she almost couldn’t hold her phone steady when her face turned sour.

She pulled up her mask to cover her face and then headed toward the restroom.

The students from Class 7 heard everything clearly; that bracelet was indeed worth 10 million.

It looked like Liang Qian was going to be bankrupted by this compensation, even selling her wouldn’t cover the amount.

Li Feng came back from the call looking much better. The students from Class 7 made way for her, smiling as they let her into the office.

Liang Qian, seeing her return, grabbed her hand anxiously and asked, "Mom, what did Dad say?"

"Your dad thinks we’re being scammed. He’s on his way now, said he’s bringing an official friend, so there should be no problem," Li Feng replied, looking relaxed, soothing most of Liang Qian’s anxieties.

She remembered her dad mentioning a friend in the police department, rumored to be a vice director; having connections should make it much easier to handle—they couldn’t believe these people would continue to be so arrogant.

Lou Ting wasn’t worried either; if the other party was not giving up, he’d put an end to them.

He enjoyed dealing with this kind of ruthless business.

Half an hour later, a portly middle-aged man and a tall man entered the office.

Li Hongsheng stood up from his chair, frightened, and walked up to the tall man, "Vice Director Liu, how come you’re here?"

Liu Hong scanned the people present and noticed there were foreigners; his expression turned stern, "I’m here to help a friend handle some things. I heard about a large-scale extortion, so I came to check it out."

"Extortion?" Li Hongsheng knew immediately there was a misunderstanding and quickly bent over, saying, "That’s not possible, how could there be extortion at a school."

"Dad, it’s these two people, they insisted that bracelet was worth 10 million and even forged receipts. This foreigner is one of their accomplices," Liang Qian, gaining confidence from her father’s presence, clung to his arm and complained.

"These two gentlemen, please come with me," Vice Director Liu looked at them, the man in the suit actually giving him a sense of pressure.

"Wait a moment, I have a phone call; you can take these two after you listen." Yun Yue put her phone on the coffee table on speaker mode, her smile taunting as she stared at the proud and pleased Liang Qian.

She had much more influence on her side.

Liang Qian really disliked and feared that type of smile; it always seemed like bad things were going to happen.

"Liu Hong, if you still care about your job, don’t mess with this matter. Even I wouldn’t dare to intervene today after seeing what I’ve shown you in the photos. Are you blind?"

"Just like that, come back to work quickly. There’s a pile of business to deal with; why bother with trivia."

On the phone, Wei Guohang spoke sharply, venting his frustrations from the past few days. He was incredibly busy, yet his subordinates were provoking this particular ’ancestor’; that was simply courting death!

"May-Mayor!" Liu Hong’s legs went a bit weak, recognizing the voice as definitely the Mayor.

After hearing him, Liu Hong was terribly flustered. He looked up at the young girl sitting nonchalantly—if he wasn’t mistaken, this was the girl the Mayor had warned them more than half a year ago not to provoke!

It’s not that he was blind!

It was her, wearing a mask, with only her eyes showing—who could recognize her?

He urgently looked to the person next to him, "Old Liang, I can’t help you with today’s matter. You should fend for yourself, compensate if you must, and if this goes to court, the only one to suffer will be you."

Saying that, he left the office without looking back.

"Vice Director! Vice Director, what’s going on?!" Liang Dongcai hurriedly followed him out; he had just agreed to help, why suddenly retract his promise?

Liu Hong sighed quietly and said, "Considering our decent friendship, I can only tell you that the girl from earlier is trouble."

"The one who had the phone just now? She’s just a student," Liang Dongcai replied in astonishment. He was, after all, a vice director; how could he be afraid of a high school girl?

"The person on the phone just now was the mayor. Even he is afraid of this girl. Can you blame me for being scared? You better weigh your options," Liu Hong said meaningfully, gave him a look, and turned to leave.

Fortunately, he had pulled back in time, or even his position wouldn’t have been secure—the former director was a case in point.

Liang Dongcai stood there dazed, the words Liu Hong had just spoken echoing in his mind.

The person on the phone was the Lan City Mayor!

The mayor himself was afraid of that girl!

She was someone he couldn’t afford to mess with!

He shuddered, filled with remorse; what kind of powerful figure had Liang Qian gotten herself involved with!

With mixed emotions, he walked into his office.

"Dad, why did you come back alone? Where is Vice Director Liu?" Liang Qian asked as she approached. Wasn’t Vice Director Liu supposed to support them?

Why did he leave without taking those people with him?

Liang Dongcai suddenly snapped awake and slapped her face with a palm that, even through the mask, made a crisp sound.

The sudden incident terrified everyone in the office.

"It’s all your doing! Stirring up trouble outside!" Liang Dongcai trembled with anger.

That was 10 million!

He had it, but he’d have to liquidate assets to get that kind of money!

Right now, he could only muster 6 million at most.

"Old Liang, what are you doing! There’s no need to hit your child in front of so many people!" Li Feng said, distressed.

"It’s your fine daughter that has put us in this mess!"

Li Feng trembled, confused by the sudden outburst of rage.

Li Hongsheng hurried forward to intervene—no matter what, it wasn’t right to hit a child.

Lou Ting sat on the sofa, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement as he watched them, "So are you going to pay, or opt for a lawsuit?"

He hadn’t expected Yun Yueyue to be so capable. Just one phone call would have resolved everything, yet he had to come all the way from Beijing.

But, he had managed to pick up quite a bit of medicine on the trip, so it wasn’t entirely a wasted journey.

"We’ll pay," Liang Dongcai closed his eyes, instantly aging ten years.

"Dad!"

"Old Liang, have you lost your mind? They’re blatantly extorting us!"

Mother and daughter both stared in disbelief—the amount was 10 million!

"Shut up! I’ll deal with you when we get home!" Liang Dongcai roared, his headache intensifying as he glared, his bellow turning their faces pale.

Lou Ting, propping his chin, chuckled and said, "Good, a wise assessment. I was considering that if you refused to pay, I could just invite the most famous lawyer from Beijing to fight a lawsuit."

Liang Dongcai’s face turned unspeakably sour. He hadn’t expected his opponent to be from Beijing; no wonder the mayor was so apprehensive. It seemed this girl must be from Beijing too!
