Chapter 27: Must think of ways to make money now Flying Pig Net

  Li Yi was stunned on the spot, he also knew about Lao Wang's family situation, how could he possibly take out 100,000?

  Something unexpected must have happened, Li Yi firmly believed in this principle. What exactly happened to make Old Wang suddenly change his attitude towards him? And take out so much money at once.

  To get to the bottom of it, Li Yi could only ask: "A sum of 100,000 yuan is no small amount, are you giving it to me all at once?"

  "If you agree, I'll give it to you now." Old Wang took out a leather bag from under the bed, and judging by its quality, it was quite expensive.

  "I don't want your money, even if you're afraid I'll delay his studies and ask me to leave him. Emotions are priceless and can't be measured with money." Li Yi was certain that the money was given by someone else, then convinced himself to leave Wang Shanshan, but who would do such a thing?

  "Are you saying that even without this money, you will still leave Wang Shanshan?" Old Wang asked.

  "I'll consider it, but I promised her that I would come on time to treat your illness. This is my commitment to her, and I don't want to see her sad." Li Yi was a straightforward person who always kept his promises, so once he had agreed to help Wang Shanshan, no matter what happened, he would follow through.

  "You don't have to come and treat the illness anymore, if you leave him, I will take this money to find a Chinese doctor to massage." Old Wang said resolutely, his tone was not open to negotiation.

  Li Yi was even more certain of his previous guess and asked: "Grandfather, what exactly happened? Who gave you the 100,000 yuan?"

  "No one gave it to me, I saved up for this coffin money myself." The helpless look in Old Wang's eyes grew thicker, although it only flashed by for a moment, but Li Yi still saw it.

  "Since Grandfather Wang is unwilling to tell me, I can only go ask Wang Shanshan and get it clear." Li Yi said as he walked out of the room.

  As he walked to the door, Old Wang suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

  "Is Grandfather Wang going to tell me the truth now?" Li Yi had no intention of leaving, he just wanted to show an attitude and must know the ins and outs of the matter.

  Lao Wang didn't answer Li Yi's question, instead asking: "If I tell you the truth, will you leave her?"

  "I will consider it. If it's really a problem that I can't solve, I'll leave her alone because I don't want to affect her studies either," Li Yi said firmly.

  "With your words, that's enough for me, I believe you are a trustworthy person." Old Wang took a deep breath and said slowly, "This afternoon, a man in black came to find me, gave me this money, and asked me to tell you to stay away from Shanshan. At the time, I refused him, but he told me that if I didn't do so, he would make me leave here."

  Old Wang paused for a moment, then continued: "You also know that the shops here are rented. Since they can offer so much money, it's clear that they have some influence in the local area. He also said that with his master's ability, he could make me unable to find a storefront and operate a small shop in Liuhe City. If I didn't have an income source, Shanshan would not be able to finish high school smoothly."

  "Who is that?" Li Yi tried to recall who he had offended recently, and it seemed like only Du Haibo. He liked Chen Xiaofei, could this matter be related? Besides, he and Du Haibo were still in their honeymoon period, neither of them had caused trouble for the other, did this matter really have anything to do with him?

  Lao Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, "He gave me a phone number and told me to contact him after I've thought it over." After that, he pulled out a postcard from his pocket.

  "Zhang Datong!" Li Yi took it over, glanced at it and said, "Master Wang, if you believe me, let me handle this matter, okay?"

  "Are you okay with that?" Old Wang had no better way out. For him, the other party was not worth offending, and he couldn't persuade Li Yi either.

  "If I don't handle it well, I will leave Shanshan." Li Yi believes he has this ability.

  "Alright! I'm counting on you." Old Wang said sincerely.

  Before leaving, Li Yi massaged Old Wang's legs for a while, then came to the telephone booth on the street and made a call.

  After the phone was connected, a middle-aged man's voice came from the receiver, his tone somewhat cold, "Who?"

  "Are you Zhang Datong?" Li Yi asked directly without beating around the bush.

  "What brings you here?" Zhang Dasong said coldly.

  Li Yi had already thought of a way to deal with it and didn't waste any words, saying directly: "I'm Li Yi, the thing you told Grandpa Wang he's already discussed with me..."

  "So you've thought it through?" Zhou Datong sneered, "I advise you to leave Wang Shanshan alone, my young master is not someone a little brat like you can afford to offend."

  Li Yi really wanted to scold someone, but he endured it and smiled: "You also know the relationship between me and Wang Shanshan. Let me leave him, do you think 100,000 yuan is enough?"

  Zhou Datong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "How much do you want?"

  "At least 200,000!" Li Yi's reply was very concise.

  "I didn't expect that 200,000 would make you give up. It seems that in your eyes, money is more important than women." Zhou Datong's contempt grew, and his words were also laced with venom.

  "Who doesn't like money? With money, I can find more beauties. Why should I give up the whole forest for just one woman?" Li Yi could only say such words to find out who was behind the scenes.

  "There's 100,000 over there, I'll give you another 100,000, name a location and I'll have it sent to you." Zhou Datong said directly, getting straight to the point.

  "Peninsula Park, you know! Under the giant stone array, I'll wait for you." Li Yi hung up the phone after finishing speaking, he believed that the other party would definitely come.

  On the other end of the phone call, a middle-aged man in his 40s stood by the window and put his mobile phone into his pocket.

  He was wearing a black suit, with a robust build and a strong back. He walked a few steps to the sofa in the living room and said, "Young master, that kid wants 200,000 yuan before he'll leave her alone."

  The young man on the sofa took a puff of his cigar and smiled, saying: "It's just 2 million yuan, give it to him. You can deliver it tonight and teach him a lesson at the same time."

  "Alright, I know what to do," said Zhou Datong. "No need to bring the brothers along! I'll have Old Tiger arrange for a few capable hands to come."

  "What you said is right, our people can't act rashly. If something really happens, I won't be able to explain it to Father." The young man nodded and said.

  Li Yi ate a few buns as a midnight snack and arrived early at the Peninsula Park, sitting on a stone bench by the lake waiting for the other party to arrive.

  About half an hour later, two cars stopped one after another at the side of the road. One was an Audi A6 and the other a Chery van.

  A middle-aged man walked out of the Audi, carrying a leather bag that was identical in style to Old Wang's, clearly containing cash. The man's identity was almost certain, and even if he wasn't Zhou Datong himself, he must have been one of his subordinates. The man wore black sunglasses, making it impossible to discern his features, but the aura emanating from him suggested that he was likely a retired military officer.

  More than a dozen thugs got off the van, all of them young men holding clubs.

  "Zhou Ge, who are we going to take down this time?" The red-haired leader ran up to Zhou Datong with a swagger, saying "Just give the word and we'll take care of whoever you want."

  "Who brought you here? Wait for me here, I'll let you go again." Zhou Datong carried his bag and quickly walked towards the giant stone array in front of him.

  The giant stone array in Peninsula Park is a one-to-one imitation of Britain's most famous stone array, with an almost identical appearance.

  Zhou Datong walked up to the stone array and quickly glanced around, soon discovering Li Yi not far away. He said, "You're quite early."

  Li Yi walked over with a smile and said, "Someone sent me money, so I came early."

  "There's 100,000 yuan here." Zhou waved the leather bag in his hand, but didn't hand it over to Li Yi. Instead, he said, "Before I give it to you, you must record a voice message promising me that you won't have any more contact with Wang Shanshan in the future."

  "What if I don't record it?" Li Yi had never intended to agree with the other party, and his purpose for coming this time was to figure out who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

  "I believe you'll do as I say, see those brothers over there? If you don't follow my instructions, not only will you not get this money, but you'll also end up in the hospital for a while." Zhou Datong pointed to the thugs not far away, and with just one word from him, they would come over and beat Li Yi to death.

  "If the previous Li Yi had to deal with these thugs, he would have been somewhat at a disadvantage. Now, he didn't take it to heart and said: 'Since you know me, I also recognize your master! Tell me, who is he?'"

  "You don't have the qualifications to know who the young master of our house is." Zhou Datong said disdainfully.

  "Among the four young masters in the 42nd Middle School, I know two of them. One is Du Haibo and the other is Wang Meng. Both of them have had dealings with me before. Which one is he?" Li Yi spoke while staring into the other person's eyes, this guy was wearing sunglasses but under his spiritual power they were like a mere decoration.

  "Duhai Bo likes Chen Xiaofei, he won't do such a boring thing, and his father has always restricted his pocket money, taking out 200,000 yuan at once, he can't do it." Li Yi's tone changed again, and he continued to say, "The only possibility is Wang Meng, are you his bodyguard?"

  Zhou Datong's eyes were full of surprise, and he thought that Li Yi, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't see him. He sneered coldly: "Sorry, I don't know the two young masters you're talking about."

  "You'll know soon enough." Li Yi's figure moved, suddenly appearing behind Zhou Datong, his arm resting on his shoulder as his right hand was already pressed against his throat.

  The throat is one of the most lethal places on a person's body. If pressed down with full force, it can knock someone out in just a few seconds.

  Zhou Datong was a retired soldier, his kung fu skills were excellent, he didn't expect to be subdued so quickly, in surprise, he hurriedly shouted from his throat, "What do you want to do?"

  "Nothing, you'd better tell me who is behind your back?" Li Yi snatched the recorder from Zhou Datong's hand and turned on the recording function.

  "I won't betray Young Master." Zhou Datong was very sincere, or rather, he couldn't betray him because he knew how great the power behind Young Master was.

  In this case, if you want to save your life, there is only one way, that is to let those who are behind come forward.

  Zhou Datong chose to do so, swung his hand back and shouted with all his might: "What are you still dawdling for, don't you...".

  Before he could finish speaking, Li Yi's finger suddenly exerted force, and he said coldly: "Do you believe I can kill you right now?"

  Zhou Datong couldn't utter a sound, but he didn't believe that Li Yi, a student, would dare to take someone's life.

  Li Yi seemed to have seen through his mind, and coldly snorted, saying disdainfully: "I dare to kill people from the Maple Leaf organization, do I still fear you?"
