Chapter 4035 - 4023: That’s Absurd!
Chapter 4035: Chapter 4023: That’s Absurd!
"Kid, what do you mean, we’re all here, and you still won’t submit?"
The bald man who opened the door shoved Lin Yi. Lin Yi’s expression remained calm as he stepped back with a smile.
Seeing how submissive Lin Yi appeared, the others all burst into laughter.
"Don’t rush to make a move yet."
Wu Guangqiang spoke, and the room fell silent. He said:
"You’re the Journalist who’s been after us for money, right?"
"That would be me."
"So, tell me, how much do you want?"
"That’s hard to say. It depends on how much you actually owe others."
"Damn, haha..."
Wu Guangqiang laughed heartily, "You really dare to ask, huh."
"Debt needs to be paid, we must be reasonable, right?"
"Well said, I almost want to applaud you." Wu Guangqiang replied:
"I had someone calculate, we owe about 1.5 million. Now, there are 16 of us in this room. Knock one down, and you’ll get 100,000. The opportunity is yours; it depends on how much you want."
"Haha..."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter, "Come on, come at us, ask for as much as you want, I’ll give it all to you."
As he spoke, the bald man who opened the door took out a baton from his pocket and swung it at Lin Yi.
"I hear you’re quite a fighter, let me see your level."
Lin Yi sidestepped the baton, grabbed the bald man’s wrist, and swiftly swept his leg, landing a solid kick on his chest.
Bang!
A dull thud sounded, and the bald man was kicked so hard, he coughed up blood. But Lin Yi kept hold of his hand, preventing him from being kicked away, and with another kick, the bald man was knocked unconscious.
"That’s a hundred thousand down. Who’s next?"
Seeing the unconscious bald man, the dozen or so people in the room were all stunned.
They knew Lin Yi could fight, but they didn’t expect him to be this ruthless.
Those two moves were completely aimed to kill.
It was truly like a kill!
In fact, Lin Yi didn’t go all out. If he had, the bald man would have been down with the first kick.
"Everyone, let’s get him!"
Seeing the situation turn dire, Wu Guangqiang gave a shout, and the remaining people all rushed forward, some even armed like the bald man.
But their fates were the same as the bald man’s. In less than a minute, they were all on the ground, not one could stand.
"I told you to find more people, why don’t you ever listen."
The Wu brothers stood there, trembling, dumbfounded.
"Mr. Journalist, we’ll go back and verify how much we owe, and I’ll repay it as fast as possible," Wu Guangqiang said.
"You said that before, I can’t trust you anymore. Let’s handle this officially, I really don’t want to waste any more time with you."
The Wu brothers were baffled by what he said, their attention was focused on Lin Yi, who turned to open the door.
And at the moment he opened the door, the two were dumbstruck, because standing outside were police officers!
Seeing the people lying on the ground and then looking at Lin Yi, the police had a complex expression.
One person defeating so many, and still unscathed. Truly a feat!
This is truly impressive!
"If everything here is settled, we’ll take these people away."
"These people on the ground, doesn’t matter." Lin Yi pointed at the Wu brothers and said:
"But those two, no need to rush. We need them to finish shooting this episode, or we’ll lack material."
"Alright," laughed the policeman.
"By the way, do you want to participate? We’ll give you more screen time, a perfect opportunity for a little publicity."
"That would be splendid."
"Let’s do it."
Soon, the Wu brothers and the dozen or so others were taken away, headed toward the county.
"Officer, we just owe a little money, isn’t this too much fanfare?"
"Owe a little money? Just a little? You gathered so many people causing trouble, do you think it’s just a small debt?" said the officer.
"For this matter, don’t have any illusions. After you go back, repay what you owe and then prepare for a long stay in jail."
"It can’t be that serious..." Wu Guangqiang began to tremble, "He’s just a journalist, I can reconcile with him."
The officer raised an eyebrow, glancing at Wu Guangqiang, "How do you know he’s just a journalist? Do you think a journalist could fight like that?"
...
After dealing with the Wu brothers, Lin Yi returned to the Yang family.
Seeing Lin Yi return, Yue Sijing and the others welcomed him.
"It’s all taken care of, they’ve been arrested by the police. I’ll take you to the station to record more material. As for the compensation, don’t worry, I can help you get it back, probably even more."
Hearing what Lin Yi said, everyone was curious about what Lin Yi actually did.
Subsequently, under Lin Yi’s arrangement, Yue Sijing took the group to the police station, where they recorded some material, even getting some cooperation from the Wu family.
The Wu brothers were bewildered, never in their lives did they think they’d end up as actors.
It’s fucking absurd!
The whole process lasted for a day, ending when it got dark. Yang Wantong’s parents successfully received compensation, almost twice their loss.
Lin Yi could sense that once this thing aired, the buzz would be significant.
It should be counted towards the task.
Just two more shoots and his task would be complete.
By noon the next day, the rough cut from yesterday’s footage was already done, presented promptly to Lin Yi by Yue Sijing.
"Why does it feel a bit lacking?"
"You felt it too?" Yue Sijing asked smiling.
"Listening to you, it sounds like you know where the problem is, why not make it better before bringing it here."
"The so-called problem, you’d have to ask our Principal Lin."
"Hmm? What’s it got to do with me?"
"It’s mainly because the problem was resolved too abruptly. The chickens got poisoned, Liu Zhan got beat up, and then somehow the Wu brothers got arrested. Although we added some footage later, it seemed too weak, the effect is unsatisfactory."
Yue Sijing looked at Lin Yi with a smile, "You didn’t, by any chance, fight them into submission, did you?"
"How could I, I’m such a civilized person."
Yue Sijing smiled, "So that’s how it is."
"Fine, let’s go with it then," Lin Yi said a bit reluctantly:
"What about the case of the woman who got pregnant soon after joining, did you follow up on that?"
"All arranged. Meeting at one this afternoon," replied Yue Sijing:
"But I think we should be cautious about this matter. If handled poorly, it could explode in the media, destroying the reputation we’ve built."
"I understand, but issues like this are what draw societal attention; we have to boost our ratings again."
"Alright then, time’s set, we’ll meet at one this afternoon."
"Okay."
