Chapter 209: Chapter 208

Two hundred thousand was undoubtedly an astronomical sum within Qingshan Town.

Here, ordinary folks work themselves to death all year just to earn a little money.

These guys just bullied merchants for protection money and gambled all their earnings away on drinking.

If they could suddenly get their hands on two hundred thousand in cash, wouldn’t they become nouveau riche overnight?

Drunk on wealth, they’d be living the high life.

They all started dreaming about the wealthy lifestyle.

Huang Gou’s eyes flitted around, seemingly hesitant.

"My relationship with Wang Xiaolong isn’t shallow; how can I mix in the future if I do this?"

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.

"Then pretend I never said anything. The money is right here, come and take it if you want it, but the moment you take the money, you leave and never help Wang Xiaolong against us again. If you don’t want it, forget it."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan pulled a card from his chest.

At the sight of the card, everyone’s eyeballs practically popped out.

Huang Gou’s gaze was glued to that card as well.

"Brother Huang, don’t be fooled. I know Zhang Xiaoshan well, a belly full of crafty schemes. He wouldn’t just give you such a large sum of money so easily; be careful, it might be a trick." Wu Yong knew Zhang Xiaoshan through and through, aware that he wouldn’t fold so easily.

Standing beside Zhang Xiaoshan, Luo Meili thought the same, but sadly, she couldn’t guess what Zhang Xiaoshan was really planning.

However, the group opposite didn’t think so.

Huang Gou was clearly tempted at this point.

He did have some ties with Wang Xiaolong, but they were just boozing and meat-sharing friends; how could that compare to the tangible benefits of hard cash?

He had only received twenty thousand for helping Wang Xiaolong, but by staying out of this mess, he could get two hundred thousand.

"Brother Gou, I think we can do this."

"Yeah, two hundred thousand is not a small number. Look, get the money, keep half for yourself, and give the other half to us."

"All this guy is asking is that we don’t help Wang Xiaolong, not that we fight against him, so I think we can do it."

"He’s agreeing a bit too readily, and also being so generous. Could there be some catch?"

Huang Gou was also somewhat undecided by now.

Just considering the guts it took for Zhang Xiaoshan to drive the truck into them was enough to show he was no pushover, so why was he suddenly acting so meek?

An eager brother said from behind.

"Brother Gou, we have so many people, and he’s just one guy with a woman, the power is in our hands, why be afraid of him?"

"Exactly, if he dares to pull any stunts, we’ll just finish him off."

Huang Gou himself was tempted.

Out of two hundred thousand, he could pocket a hundred thousand for himself.

A sly spark flashed in Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes as he urged them on.

"You guys really kill me, claiming to be tough but you’re all scaredy-cats, smaller than mice. You want the money, I’m offering it, yet now you’re too scared to take it."

"Zhang Xiaoshan, stop playing tricks here."

While Wu Yong was scolding Zhang Xiaoshan, he turned to Huang Gou and said.

"Brother Huang, you promised my brother-in-law before coming here that you’d get this done, so how can you back out now? If this gets back to my brother-in-law’s ears, it won’t be easy for you to explain, will it?"

"Get lost."

Huang Gou immediately kicked Wu Yong in the chest, sending him sprawling on the ground.

"You little shit, stop trying to scare me with Wang Xiaolong. Your sister isn’t even married to him yet, and even if they do get married, I’m not afraid."

"What is Wang Xiaolong anyway? Do I have to report everything I’m going to do to him?"

"No, no, Brother Huang, that’s not what I meant."

Wu Yong was just a soft egg who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He could strut around his village, but when faced with real tough guys, he was more chicken than anyone.

"Hahaha, Wu Yong, look at you, all pitiful," Luo Meili laughed at his misfortune.

After all, Wu Yong was a truly despicable guy.

Zhang Xiaoshan openly mocked Wu Yong.

"Wu Yong, these are the helpers you found? Looks to me like they’re all your daddies."

Wu Yong’s face turned crimson with shame, utterly humiliated, and he couldn’t even talk back, just hung his head low.

"Fine, if you don’t want the money I’m offering, I’ll just put the card away."

With that, Zhang Xiaoshan made to put the card away.
