Gorgeous Female Tenants

Xu Xiangbei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and as soon as Zeng Xianren saw it, he immediately feigned difficulty and said, "Brother, it can’t be any less, otherwise that group won’t comply. If it goes to court, you’ll not only have to pay attorney fees, but you might also end up in prison, possibly for over ten years!"

"Just consider it a way to avoid disaster by sacrificing your wealth. As the saying goes, you can’t catch a wolf without risking the bait! Just think of it as a loss, like the old saying goes: losing is a blessing, right? You’re in your twenties, still in your prime. If you get locked up for more than ten years, what will you be like when you come out? So spending 200,000 to buy these ten years is not a loss, really!"

Then he went on and on, afraid that Xu Xiangbei would disagree, using all sorts of tricks to both fool and deceive.

But Xu Xiangbei had already seen through his little antics: this was typical of using nothing to gain something. If he actually gave the 200,000, it would all end up in Zeng Xianren’s own pocket.

Then he’d find a reason to release those hooligans, and they’d end up being grateful to him, and Xu Xiangbei would also see him as a benefactor. It’s classic, killing two birds with one stone! The so-called playing both sides just like he does.

But who is Xu Xiangbei? He never plays by the rules.

"No, Captain Zeng, my point is that just 200,000 is too little, it should be at least 500,000, right?"

"Ah?" Zeng Xianren wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing, so he heard it wrong.

"Brother, you said 500,000?" he blurted out, a hint of excitement in his eyes, his heart already leaping with joy, thinking he was making so much money for nothing, while secretly cursing Xu Xiangbei as a fool.

"Captain Zeng, you didn’t mishear, I said 200,000 was too little, so 500,000 then. Wouldn’t you say I’m too kind-hearted?" Xu Xiangbei said with a faint smile on his face.

"Brother, your heart is not just kind, you’re practically the world’s greatest benefactor. I have to admire you for this, it’s really very generous. But, this is the right thing to do, after all, they did suffer some injuries."

After hearing Xu Xiangbei acknowledge it, Zeng Xianren was afraid he’d back out, and quickly resorted to flattery and praising Xu Xiangbei as being very compassionate and kind-hearted.

Finally, he patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, brother, I’ll resolve this matter perfectly for you.

Here’s the deal, you transfer 500,000 to me now, and I’ll speak to them for you. You won’t have to face those fierce thugs, and once I negotiate with them, you’ll be able to get out right away!"

Zeng Xianren pretended to be a nice guy, as if he was willing to go through hell for Xu Xiangbei.

"Captain Zeng, maybe you misunderstood, my point is that if they give me 500,000, this matter will be settled."

Xu Xiangbei’s words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Zeng Xianren, leaving him standing there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

"I was initially going to ask for more, planning to demand 500,000 in compensation from each of them, but seeing they don’t have much money, I, being kind-hearted, decided to let them off. Wouldn’t you say I’m too kind?"

Before Zeng Xianren could say anything, Xu Xiangbei spoke on his own, looking very much like he was too kind, and at times seemed to regret not asking for more money.

"Brother, are you out of your mind? Are you talking nonsense?" Zeng Xianren asked incredulously, feeling that this was too much of a contrast for him.

One moment he thought he could earn 500,000 out of thin air, and the next he felt trapped in a huge scheme, with the key being that this scheme was crafted by his own hands.

"Captain Zeng, whatever are you talking about? I’m very serious, and earnestly telling you, I want them to compensate me 500,000! They attacked me and left an indelible damage on my young heart, as well as my not-so-strong body!"

Xu Xiangbei looked as if he was deeply aggrieved, insisting on the need for full compensation.

"Oh, I’m still too kind, only 500,000!" He finished speaking and sighed, looking all too kind.

"You..." Zeng Xianren pointed at him, speechless for some time, his face turning purple with anger until he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Captain Zeng, what’s wrong with you? How come you’ve been so agitated these days, should we go to the hospital for some emergency care? No, I misspoke, should we have a check-up!" Xu Xiangbei feigned concern, yet remained seated without moving.

"Xu Xiangbei!" Zeng Xianren shouted, his voice resonating in the empty interrogation room, startling Xu Xiangbei.

"What’s wrong? Captain Zeng, I’m right here." Xu Xiangbei feigned ignorance as he looked at Zeng Xianren.

"What’s wrong? You ask me what’s wrong? I took you as a brother, but what do you take me for?" Zeng Xianren’s face flushed, clutching his chest, looking deeply pained.

At this time, with such acting skills, even Xu Xiangbei had to quietly admire him.

Of course, Xu Xiangbei’s acting skills were nothing to scoff at either. He said with a matter-of-fact expression, "As a servant!"

"What?" Zeng Xianren thought Xu Xiangbei had figured something out and was about to tear it apart.

"Isn’t there a saying: a police officer is a people’s servant? I just received a good citizen award, so I guess that makes me a representative of the people? And you, Captain Zeng, as the captain of the investigation team of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, you have solved dozens of cases of all sizes, always fighting on the front lines against the criminals, working diligently and courageously, you’re practically the model of the Jiangcheng people’s police! As a citizen, I see Captain Zeng, this good officer, as a people’s servant. Is there anything wrong with that?"

After saying these words, Xu Xiangbei continued to wear a bewildered expression, looking at Zeng Xianren as if he were a fool, with an expression saying, only a fool would ask such a question.

Upon hearing Xu Xiangbei’s words and seeing his expression, Zeng Xianren was like a face eating dog shit, turning somewhat pale, with a stuck breath he couldn’t vent.

"Boom!" A loud noise was heard as Zeng Xianren slammed his fist heavily on the desk in front of him, cracking it.

After a while, his face finally relaxed a bit, and Xu Xiangbei even suspected that if he didn’t vent, he might suffocate from it.

"Captain Zeng, what’s the matter? Why such a big fire?" Xu Xiangbei still wore a clueless face, while inside, he was greatly amused.

Zeng Xianren, with an angry resentment in his eyes, seemed very resentful of the hooligans locked up next door: "It’s not those little hooligans next door, so obstinate, the worst part is they won’t budge no matter what, so I’m very furious, couldn’t control myself. Brother, I hope I didn’t scare you!"

Xu Xiangbei knew he was referring to himself, and he was sure that Zeng Xianren felt a great deal of anger and resentment, to the point of wanting to kill him.

But Zeng Xianren couldn’t vent it on him. Xu Xiangbei actually enjoyed this feeling of making others hate him to the core yet being unable to do anything about it.

"Why would I be scared, Captain Zeng? I wasn’t terrified when I was a kid!"

Zeng Xianren’s tone softened a bit, with a hint of pleading: "Brother Xu, this matter is really not easy to handle. You didn’t break the skin, nor did you bleed, not a scratch on you, and you want 500,000 for settlement. Isn’t that being unreasonable?"

"How can there be nothing? My innocent heart has suffered an indelible trauma, and my body has internal injuries, you just can’t see it. If I weren’t so kind, I wouldn’t settle for just 500,000!" Xu Xiangbei feigned immense sorrow, as if he was wronged by the heavens.

Zeng Xianren’s face changed, wanting to say something? In the end, he had to choke it back, continuously roaring internally: You damn it, your innocent heart has trauma? Bullshit! And internal injuries, you seem full of energy now, I bet you could fight a tiger, this is pure extortion. No, this is an outright racket, you’re just a bloodsucker!

"Brother, this really won’t do, I think you’ve lost your head a bit. How’s this, if you think 200,000 is too high, let’s make it 50,000. You give me 50,000 now, and I’ll solve this matter right away, otherwise, if it really goes to court, you might end up with a life sentence!"

Zeng Xianren truly had no way out and could only exaggerate the consequences, hoping to scare Xu Xiangbei.

"Alright, then we can see each other in court! If that’s the case, Captain Zeng, you no longer have to worry about my matter. I’ll call my lawyer right away, and he’ll take care of everything. Rest assured, I have some understanding of the law, and I hired the best lawyer, he’ll definitely win this case for me, and then it won’t be me going to jail!" Xu Xiangbei said with an air of helplessness.

Zeng Xianren continued to persuade him patiently, "Brother, are you not thinking straight? How about this? If you think 200,000 is too high, let’s make it 50,000. You pay me 50,000 now, and I’ll take care of this at once, or it might really end up in court, and you could end up in jail for life!"

"Alright then, 50,000. Not a penny less, see you in court!"
