383 Blackmail
“How much do you think we should ask for?” The man narrowed his eyes. Although his foot had been cut by a nail, he was quite pleased at the moment.
“She has such a big company. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for 100,000 yuan, right?” the woman asked tentatively.
“Only 100,000 yuan?” The man shook his head.
“You’re too short-sighted. I think we need at least 500,000 yuan. What that person said today gave me a reminder. If that Chu Ning doesn’t give it to us, we’ll go and make a scene at her company every day! And she can’t do anything to us, so you can print a banner to slander her!” the man suddenly said viciously.
This was the complete opposite of his pitiful appearance at the Soaring Clouds Group’s entrance.
“Gosh, Bao Xu, are you crazy? You dare ask for 500,000 yuan? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll take revenge on you?” The woman’s expression changed when she heard this.
“I’m not crazy. We have something on her, so what’s there to be afraid of? And I’m lying in the hospital now. If she doesn’t give it to us, we’ll spread rumors about her company on the internet! I’ve already decided to do this anyway, so I might as well take things up a notch!” the man calmly said.
“I think…” Just as the woman was about to speak, she realized that the door of the ward was being opened.
“Your husband’s vision is greater than yours. Even 500,000 yuan is considered little. I have a good idea. Let Chu Ning support you two for the rest of your lives.”
Zhou Hao said with a smile as he walked in.
There were two burly men behind him, holding something wrapped in black cloth.
“Mr. Zhou, you’re here!” Bao Xu was struggling to get up, excited to see Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao was simply his God of Wealth.
“Mr. Zhou, I don’t think it’s a good idea to do this. After all, we’re not in the right and Bao Xu didn’t really get hurt by a nail by accident.” The woman looked at the two burly men behind Zhou Hao. She was a little fearful, but still gathered up her courage and spoke out.
“Shut up, you idiot! I was injured by a nail, so she should pay for it!” Bao Xu berated.
“Bao Xu, I don’t want to get involved in the matters between you two, but I don’t want a third party to know about it,” Zhou Hao said with a smile.
Although it was a naked threat, Zhou Hao’s expression remained calm and his attitude was gentle.
“I got it, Mr. Zhou,” Bao Xu quickly responded.
“Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhou!” Bao Xu said loudly, shooting his wife a stern look.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou. I misspoke,” the woman said, feeling wronged.
“It’s fine. Anyway, I didn’t come here to listen to your apology.” Zhou Hao waved his hand indifferently.
“Bao Xu, I have something good for you that can help you get more money, enough for you to not have to work for the rest of your life. Are you willing to do it? ” Zhou Hao suddenly looked at Bao Xu mysteriously and smilingly asked.
“Of course I’m willing!” Bao Xu nodded his head vigorously.
“Alright,” he said. Zhou Hao nodded in satisfaction.
He looked at the woman again.
“You heard it. Your husband is willing.” Zhou Hao gave a strange smile.
The door of the ward had been closed without them knowing.
A burly man standing behind Zhou Hao slowly revealed the item that was wrapped in black cloth.
It was a baseball bat.
“Mr. Zhou, don’t, don’t!” Bao Xu abruptly understood what Zhou Hao meant.
The woman by his side was also shocked by what she saw.
Her wide eyes were filled with disbelief.
But it was too late.
The other burly man behind Zhou Hao walked to Bao Xu’s bed, picked up a pillow, and forcefully pressed it over Bao Xu’s head. No matter how Bao Xu struggled, it was useless.
The first burly man raised the baseball bat in his hand and smashed it down on Bao Xu’s knee.
The woman seemed to have gone crazy. She was about to lunge at Bao Xu, screaming.
However, Zhou Hao grabbed her by the hair and strangled her tightly, and not a word could escape her lips.
A dull sound was heard.
Another sound followed.
Bao Xu’s knees were smashed to pieces.
A moment later, the pillow was released.
Bao Xu had stopped struggling.
He had already fainted from the intense pain.
“Hmm… I’ll give you a day to think about it. By the day after tomorrow at the latest, you have to give me an answer.” Zhou Hao suddenly moved closer to the woman’s face and said softly.
“I don’t have much patience. Your husband is already disabled. You still have elderly and two lovely sons to take care of, right? But how can you manage such a huge expense by yourself?”
