CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: NOT ENOUGH MONEY? I’LL GO SELL A HOUSE RIGHT NOW!【FIVE UPDATES】

"You... what did you say?"

Li Weiguo trembled with anger as he heard those words.

He had not anticipated that Sun Chenglin would be even more shameless than Yang Minghui and her group.

To actually threaten and coerce him to his face, using the children going to the factory.

"We’ve already contacted people inside the factory. Working twelve hours a day, one can earn four thousand yuan a month."

Sun Chenglin lifted his head, revealing his backup plan.

"Oh, right, there’s also overtime pay in the factory."

"If Mr. Li doesn’t help, we can only make the children work a few more hours."

He stared straight at Li Weiguo, his tone very calm. As if the children about to be sent to the factory were not his own.

And Li Weiguo was also shaking with anger at his shamelessness.

Unsure of how to respond at that moment, Li Weiguo heard Qin Mu’s voice ring out.

"Isn’t it just money you want? Are you asking for one hundred thousand? How could one hundred thousand be enough?"

Li Weiguo was taken aback.

He looked incredulously at Qin Mu, who pulled out a bank card and flaunted it.

"There are two hundred thousand on this card; it should be enough for your three families to send your children to school."

"Xiao Qin, what are you..."

Seeing this, Li Weiguo became even more perplexed.

The Qin Mu he remembered had always been one to hate evil as an enemy and was always deadly serious. Though not stingy, he certainly couldn’t be called generous. This gesture now was beyond his comprehension.

Meanwhile, Sun Chenglin’s face lit up with joy, and he stood up eagerly. With the swiftness of lightning, he snatched the bank card from Qin Mu’s hand.

Two hundred thousand! This had completely exceeded their goals for this trip.

"The password is 123456. Can you leave now?"

Qin Mu smiled faintly, pointing towards the courtyard exit.

After getting the money, the other two were overjoyed and quickly stood up, crowding in front of Sun Chenglin.

But upon hearing the password, their faces instantly darkened.

Even without much education, they knew that bank card passwords couldn’t possibly be sequential, nor could they be something as simple as 123456.

"Are you playing us?" Sun Chenglin frowned, pointing angrily at the bank card.

By chance, he glanced at the barrage of comments flooding the livestream like a tide.

Without realizing it, the number of viewers in the livestream had already broken 10,000. It was already becoming popular. The comments, which had previously feigned ignorance by discussing the weather, were now all talking about this bank card.

"What on earth does the streamer want to do? He actually gave them money? Could he be a hidden rich second-generation heir?"

"No, something doesn’t feel right!"

"HISS! So sly! I’m glad I was clever and asked a lawyer about it; the streamer is planning to get Sun Chenglin and the others locked up too!"

"I noticed that too. If Sun Chenglin and the others accept the money, they’ll probably spend the next few years behind bars!"

"As a law graduate student, I can responsibly tell everyone that Sun Chenglin has been dancing on the edge of extortion!"

"..."

After reading these comments, Sun Chenglin shivered with fear, the bank card almost slipping from his grasp and falling to the ground.

He remembered clearly... his wife hadn’t committed fraud but was sent to prison by Qin Mu for it. And now... was it possible that he had committed extortion? Only... he carefully reflected for a long time but couldn’t figure out how he had extorted anyone.

Seeing Sun Chenglin’s reaction, Qin Mu picked up the bank card. "You don’t want the money...?" He offered it back to him. "Do you think the amount is too small? I’ll go raise more right now, even if it means selling my house. Will one million be enough?"

Having said that, he prepared to ask Li Weiguo and Zhang Qingyuan for a loan.

This scene left the nearby Li Weiguo utterly dumbfounded.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Qin, are... are you confused by anger?"

Qin Mu rolled his eyes. Confused by anger, my foot! He just wanted to send Sun Chenglin and his two accomplices to jail all at once.

With the two hundred thousand he had saved over the years, it could only be considered a relatively large sum. But one million was different; that was a particularly large amount. The sentences could be as high as ten years, or even from ten to twenty years. That’s right. After his scolding had no effect, he simply switched tactics, using the bank card to establish the crime. It was all to eradicate the nuisance of Sun Chenglin and his group once and for all. Otherwise, if they got through this time, who knew if they would come back to harass them again. If Sun Chenglin and his gang could do this once, they could certainly do it a second time. Sending them to jail was the most reliable and straightforward method.

One... one million?

Holding the selfie stick and still livestreaming, Sun Chenglin swallowed hard when he saw Qin Mu actually seemed to be raising the money for him. But before he even had a chance to be happy, he caught a few comments scrolling across the phone screen.

"Harsh! So harsh! He’s actually willing to sell his house to put Sun Chenglin away!"

"Good thing I didn’t insult this streamer just now. Who would dare to offend him?"

"The crime of extortion is divided into three levels depending on severity. The lightest sentence is less than three years. For a larger amount, it’s three to ten years, and the most severe is ten to twenty years."

"This streamer is untouchable, casually sending people to jail..."

After reading these comments, he jolted in fright.

Looking at the bank card Qin Mu offered him, he kept backing away as if it were some kind of ferocious beast.

Though he didn’t know much about the law, when it came to choosing between money and the possibility of being locked up, he knew which way to turn. The money was too hot to handle. It could cost him his life!

"Brother Sun, why... why aren’t you taking the money?"

Behind him, the other two looked confused. They had come all this way for the money.

Sun Chenglin glared fiercely at the two men and said impatiently, "What do you know! This kid is setting us up! If we take the money, we could be charged with extortion. Do you want to go to jail and keep your wives company?"

Upon hearing this, they were immediately startled.

They felt a chill down their spines, their hair standing on end. The world was too dangerous. They were already being so careful, yet they had almost been sent to jail.

"So... what do we do now? Do we still want the money?"

The two exchanged glances, then looked towards Sun Chenglin.

"Take it for what!" Sun Chenglin cursed, his face ashen with anger.

Two hundred thousand was lying right in front of them, yet he dared not reach out to take it. There was nothing more frustrating than this.

"Let’s go! We’ll back off and talk about this next time!"

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to abandon this venture.

After all, their ignorance of the law had put them at a disadvantage. They would ask someone knowledgeable next time before trying again.

However, just as they were about to leave, Qin Mu stood up and blocked their way. "Next time? You’ve committed extortion and you still want to leave?"
