90 Extortion
Ming Liuyi heard Yao Zizhou’s words and observed his expression. She let out a sigh of relief when she did not find any anger there. This matter might not be that simple. If it was just money he wanted, Yu Han could have just said it directly. There was no need to waste so much effort. Ming Liuyi took out her phone and read the message.
“Yu Han sent a message saying that something had happened. To be honest, we’ve never contacted each other much, even before our marriage. And now that you and Yao Ziyang have just declared war, Yu Han sending me this message at this time… I think this is a set-up. It could be Yao Ziyang making his move.”
Hearing Ming Liuyi’s analysis, Yao Zizhou frowned. Yao Ziyang might have already made his move, but at this moment, there was no way for him to deal with Yao Zizhou directly, so he could only send someone to attack from the side, and that person could only attack Ming Liuyi.
A flash of anger appeared on Yao Zizhou’s face, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only say indifferently, “Perhaps it is Yao Ziyang. Ask him what the problem is.”
Ming Liuyi heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yao Zizhou believed in her. As for whether it was Yao Ziyang doing, she could ask him. If it was Yu Han who just wanted money from her, then too bad for him, Ming Liuyi was not a fool like Original Ming Liuyi who would give money to little punks.
Ming Liuyi tapped the phone and quickly replied, [What is it?]
Yu Han looked at the change in name and the official reply. It was obvious that she was deliberately trying to distance herself from the matter. He sighed softly. It seemed that Ming Liuyi had really changed. As for whether Ming Liuyi would come forward, Yu Han was not sure. However, the situation forced him to speak up.
Yu Han replied, [The stall I’m working at got smashed up. The people who did it said they were after you. And because you and I are acquainted, they wrecked the place, and the boss wants me to pay for it.]
[The compensation of damages is 150,000 Yuan. I don’t have that kind of money, and so I can only turn to you.]
After Original Ming Liuyi left Yu Han, he went back to his carefree days. He missed the days when Original Ming Liuyi would just give him money, but that was no longer an option. So, he decided to work hard and live a stable life. Because he was a gangster, many places did not want him, until he came to this barbecue stall.
The owners were a relatively honest couple. Although the stall was not big, at night, there were always people who drank too much and caused trouble. The owners saw that Yu Han seemed to be able to control the crowd. He could also serve the orders and clean up. Whenever someone made trouble, they let Yu Han handle it. As long as Yu Han worked well, the owners were willing to hire him.
Yu Han was also very serious at work, but good days like these did not last long. A group of people suddenly came in the day before yesterday. The leader came in without a word and smashed everything up. After he wrecked the place, he said it was for Yu Han. Yu Han was very confused at the time and did not know this person at all.
It was not until after the damage was done that the leader sneered and said, “Today, I’m here to give you wealth. If you want compensation, go to Ming Liuyi. She’s Mrs. Yao now. She’s very rich. You can’t hold me responsible for your ignorance, you’d just be asking for a beating.”
The boss and his wife were quite reasonable. They did not know this Ming Liuyi, and they did not want to extort money from her. However, this group of thugs had come and smashed everything in their stall indiscriminately. It was truly crossing the line. They could not just let things go like this, and had to deal with it as soon as possible. Moreover, this was a lawful society. There would always be people who would take care of it.
The boss said, “We’ll call the police.”
Yu Han knew that the boss and his wife were good people, but this matter began because he worked here, that was why these people came. He could not let such a good boss suffer such losses; he had to find a way to compensate the boss. Moreover, the thugs earlier were so brazen, they must not be afraid of the police.
Yu Han said with a frown, “Yeah, I’ll call the police. These people said they were coming for me, so I’ll definitely compensate you. With the current state of the stall, we won’t be able to open for business for a while after renovation, so I’ll also cover the turnover.”
Yu Han deliberately steered the topic away from Ming Liuyi. This was mostly because Yu Han was a little tempted and wanted to extort some money from Ming Liuyi. In any case, Ming Liuyi had been quite generous to him in the past, and it was all because of her that this happened. Obviously, he would try to extort more money from her, especially since Ming Liuyi married into a rich family, so it was impossible for her to be short on money.
Ming Liuyi told Yao Zizhou everything. There was a high probability that Yao Ziyang had sent people over. Otherwise, how could a little hooligan like Yu Han cause such big trouble? After Yao Zizhou heard this, he frowned. If he wanted to confirm if it was Yao Ziyang, he had to see who the leader was.
“Ask Yu Han what the leader looked like.”
