Insufficient balance

  Sanlidun is a scenic spot in the suburbs of Jiangling, although Jiangling's tourism industry is not developed, if you come with a playful attitude, Sanlidun is obviously an unmissable tourist attraction.

  About two miles away from Sanlidian, there is an abandoned factory that has been idle for a long time. It is said that this factory already existed in the early 1980s. However, with the rapid development of technology and its remote location, making transportation inconvenient, this factory stopped operating in the early 1990s. Moreover, due to the rumors of paranormal activity spread by nearby villagers, few people dared to rent it. As a result, it gradually became a deserted place.

  However, the factory building that had been idle for many years welcomed several luxury cars today, and this desolate place also gained a lot of popularity out of thin air.

  When Ye Jun got off the car, he felt refreshed by the fresh air around him. After Cai Shen parked the car, he waved at Ye Jun and said, "Xiao Jun, the person is inside."

  Clang...clang...

  The seemingly lifeless factory building also had eyes and ears outside, so when the god of wealth got off the car, the originally sealed iron gate was pushed open by two men in black.

  When Ye Jun entered the warehouse, he saw a man and a woman tied to a pillar with red cloth covering their eyes. They looked terrified and seemed to have heard someone entering, so they started struggling and twisting their bodies, but unfortunately, they were tightly bound by thick ropes, making their struggles purely futile.

  She glanced at Wu Yi, and Ye Jun's interest was immediately lost. After all, in her previous life, she had seen this ugly face on the front page of the evening paper many times. So, she quickly shifted her gaze to Zeng Lu. Perhaps at that time, for the sake of secrecy, the government and media did not publicly disclose Zeng Lu's detailed information. However, looking at her today, this woman indeed had too much capital to hook up with high-ranking officials.

  Long and slender beautiful legs, neat uniforms, plus the suspender black silk stockings on her beautiful legs, and the plump and full breasts that kept heaving up and down due to fear, indeed had a lot of capital to captivate people's hearts. Looking around at the dozen or so big men staring at Zeng Lu, their minds were definitely not short of dirty thoughts, but perhaps because they were warned by the God of Wealth, they didn't dare to be rude, otherwise, with this fiery figure, there really wouldn't be many men who could hold back.

  "The rest is up to you."

  Soon, a big Han brought out two stools, and Caishen sat down with a plop, waving his hand at Liang Tao on the side and laughing: "You sit too, just watching from the side is fine."

  "Please take care of Ah Hao's matter."

  Although Ye Jun gave people a feeling of being an ordinary student, Liang Tao didn't dare to treat Ye Jun as one of those obedient kids in school.

  Ye Jun walked step by step to Wu Yi's side, and the footsteps seemed to startle the man and woman in front of him. Wu Yi and Zeng Lu struggled even harder, their faces revealing more inner fear and anxiety.

  "I'll ask a few questions, if you think they're right, nod your head. If they're wrong, shake your head, did you understand?"

  Wu Yi and Zeng Lu nodded repeatedly, their mouths stuffed with a wet towel making "woo woo" sounds.

  "Is the timed bomb at Qingyan Club yours?" Ye Jun asked with a smile.

  Waaah...

  Whether it was Wu Yi or Zeng Lu, they both shook their heads vigorously at the first moment, but Wu Yi was still calm and able to maintain some composure. However, Zeng Lu, driven by instinctive fear, revealed a hint of hesitation.

  Ye Jun smiled and said, "As far as I know, you two have already known each other for a long time, and you've even had an illicit relationship that's lasted over a year, right?"

  Wu Yi hastily shook his head, but Zeng Lu did the opposite and nodded repeatedly, while also making a series of "woo" sounds, as if wanting to say something.

  "Don't be impatient, I'll definitely let you have your say later. But before that, listen to me finish speaking. As long as you're willing to cooperate, I guarantee you won't get into trouble and can return home safely. However, I'm warning you two, just because I've invited you here today doesn't mean it will be the same tomorrow or the day after. You tell me, isn't that right?"

  Yue Jun's words made Wu Yi and Zeng Lu both startled, at the same time they were bitter and ugly, as difficult to look as possible. Obviously, Yue Jun's words were not just a threat, if he could bind them once, he would definitely be able to do it twice, three times...

  Seeing Wu Yi and Zeng Lu nodding in agreement, Ye Jun continued: "Of course, you mustn't have any illusions, and don't even think about reporting to the police afterwards. Unless you stay at home every day and the police guard your door 24 hours a day, otherwise, I wouldn't mind putting some explosives or something like that at your doorstep."

  Waaah...

  Wu Yi and Zeng Lu, who were originally a bit nervous, were suddenly frightened out of their wits by Ye Jun's intimidation, and hastily nodded in unison. This comical scene almost made Caishen and the others burst into laughter.

  "Alright, is Liang Hào being wronged by you all?"

  As soon as Ye Jun's voice fell, Wu Yi shook his head vigorously. But it was Zeng Lu who didn't move for a long time, her pale face revealing a hesitant expression, as if struggling to come up with an answer.

  Since the topic has shifted to his younger brother, Liang Tao suddenly stood up and shouted: "Speak quickly!"

  Scared by Liang Tao, Zeng Lu nodded instinctively, while Caishen patted Liang Tao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, don't get excited, we have to believe in this kid, just watching from the side is enough."

  "I'm sorry, I was a bit rash."

  Liang Tao smiled awkwardly and threw a trusting glance at Ye Jun, then sat back down on the stool. As for the big men around them, they were all supporting their chins with their hands, watching the scene before them with great interest. The name Ye Jun had only been transmitted to this group of unruly people today, after all, it was a good topic of conversation after dinner, and it was unexpected that he was so young, and his interrogation method was similar to theirs, but fundamentally couldn't be seen as just a student who came and went from school.

  "Alright, I've finished asking my questions."

  Ye Jun finished speaking, and the God of Wealth gave a signal to the nearby big Han, who quickly brought out a stool for Ye Jun to sit on. Ye Jun first thanked the big Han, then pointed at Wu Yi and Zeng Lu, laughing: "Untie their mouths, it's time for them to catch their breath."

  The big Han smiled and exerted a bit of force, pulling the wet towel out of Wu Yi's mouth. But what followed was Wu Yi shouting in terror: "Save me! Kidnapping!"

  Bang!

  "Damn it! This is a cave, even if you shout your lungs out, no one will hear you. Be honest, otherwise, I'll cut off your tongue."

  Wu Yi let out a desperate roar, and with all his might, Da Han slapped him across the face. Instantly, a bright red palm print appeared on Wu Yi's cheek, and even the corner of his mouth began to bleed, mixing blood and saliva together.

  It seems that there was a lesson learned from the past, and Zeng Lu, who had been pulled away from the wet wipes, seemed much quieter, only making some rapid breathing sounds due to fear.

  "Director Wu, tell me, why did you frame an innocent hotel service staff who has no grudge against you?" Ye Jun asked with a smile.

  "Hum! What identity do I have, how could I possibly frame a waiter? Such a shameless woman is the scourge of society, and the law will not tolerate such an evil-doer. Don't think that by tying me up here, you can intimidate me into exonerating that little brat. Let me advise you, dream on!"

  Unexpectedly, Wu Yi, who had previously been terrified, now had the guts to say these words, which was beyond Ye Jun's expectations: "Director Wu, I advise you to cooperate a bit, otherwise..."

  "Otherwise, what? Are you threatening me with women? Are you planning to tell me that if I don't cooperate, you'll force Teacher Zeng to do something against her will and make me compromise? Let me tell you, this won't work on me!"

  Wu Yi's words made Zeng Lu, who was tied up, think of a scene where she was being ravished by a group of men. Suddenly, she burst into a loud scolding: "Wu Yi, you beast, what do you mean?"

  "Call me Director Wu, I'm not familiar with you. Anyway, I've figured it out, you must have surrendered to the evil forces and plan to gang up on me. Hmph! I am a straightforward and unyielding national civil servant, and also a member of the party under the red flag. You bunch of troublemakers may be able to bully and humiliate me, but behind me stand tens of millions of comrades who have shed blood and sweat. You will not succeed!"

  Wu Yi's words were so shameless that they left everyone in the room staring at each other in shock, and even Zeng Lu hadn't expected Wu Yi to be so unscrupulous. For a moment, she was so angry that her whole body trembled with rage.

  "Do you really think I don't dare kill you?"

  Ye Jun sneered and said, "Don't forget, in this desolate mountain wilderness, even if a few people die, it's not necessarily true that someone will be able to find them."

  "You don't dare kill me because you need my cooperation to clear the hotel service staff's name." Wu Yi seemed to have the upper hand, responding with a cold smile.

  "Awesome!"

  Ye Jun suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Who can get a few camcorders over here?"

  "I'll call right now and have someone bring it over."

  Cai Shen heard this and made a gesture to the big man standing guard beside him. Although it was strange that Ye Jun would make such a request at this critical juncture, Hu You Cai still cooperated with him in a very understanding manner.

  "What do you want to do? Are you planning to record the scene of me being kidnapped and extort me? Let me tell you, this is a crime. The organization will definitely know that I am a person who does not bow down to evil forces. As the saying goes, 'A hero's heart remains unchanged, leaving behind a legacy that shines forever!'"

  Wu Yi's face flashed with a momentary terror, but he quickly suppressed it.

  Ye Jun didn't expect Wu Yi to have such a rich imagination, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly in the presence of the big men: "Which of you gentlemen has heard of Du Mu's masterpiece, Mooring on the Qinhuai River? There is a sentence that goes like this: The merchant girl doesn't know the sorrow of a fallen nation, across the river she still sings of the flowers in the backyard. Haha, as long as you gentlemen don't mind this guy being dirty, one note for 10,000 yuan, how about it?"

  At first, many people didn't understand what he meant, but the god of wealth was the first to react and burst out laughing: "Great! Ah Niu, you and Ah Hui aren't always going to those gay bars? Now there's a good target right in front of us, as long as you and Ah Hui are willing to perform on the spot, I guarantee I'll pay up immediately!"

  "Boss, really?"

  Two burly men nearby heard this and a hint of sly color flashed in their eyes. One of them rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed, and said, "Boss, can we place a few more bets? Ah Hui and I have been holding back for days, I guarantee that within an hour, we can at least place three bets! Right, Ah Hui?"

  The big man beside him heard this and nodded vigorously, after all, one note was 10,000 yuan, this money was really easy to earn.

  "What do you want to do?"

  Actually, when Wu Yi heard the phrase "隔江犹唱后.庭花", he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. As a cultured person who often frequented high-end venues, he had some understanding of the meaning behind those words. Moreover, earlier, when Caishen yelled at him to give up his life, he also caught the four words "Comrade Wine Bar". Connecting this with the tone of extracting one million yuan, wasn't it saying that they wanted to dig out the remaining value from his butt?

  When Ah Niu smiled and guaranteed that he could release three shots in an hour, Wu Yi, who was clearly shocked, immediately revealed a look of absurd fear. However, Ye Jun seemed to be determined to make things worse: "Director Wu, you'll have to suffer for a bit later, accompany these two to play for a few hours, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to record the whole scene, then ask a professional photographer to edit it, and send it to your family. I heard that your dad and mom still live in the countryside, don't worry, we'll give one copy to your wife, one to your parents, and I guarantee that at the same time, we'll also give your parents a free TV and projector, and invite fellow villagers and friends to appreciate your masterpiece together...

  "Shut up! Madman! I won't take it! I'd rather die than take it!"

  Wu Yi struggled frantically, which made Ah Niu and Ah Hui look very displeased. Ah Hui smiled foolishly at the God of Wealth and said: "Big brother, it seems that this guy is not very cooperative. I'm worried that he'll affect the fun for us two brothers later on. How about this? I'll call a few friends to come and have some fun together, and we can also subdue this uncooperative guy at the same time. Of course, they're just here for the thrill, money is secondary, a few hundred yuan will be enough to send them off."

  "How is this possible?"

  Caishen glanced at Wu Yi, who was clearly eavesdropping on their conversation, and smiled: "Still the old rules, one bet is 10,000 yuan, even if you call in a few dozen, I'm willing to pay! It's just 180 million, I have plenty of it, let's just spend money to enjoy a big show."

  "Hey, that's great, I'll go make a call now!"

  Ahui was overjoyed and inexplicably said he would go to the main entrance, but Wu Yi realized that Ye Jun and others were going to make a real move, and he could no longer bear the high mental pressure. He frantically shouted: "I'll cooperate! I'll cooperate! Please don't do this, spare me! As long as you don't mess with me, I'll do whatever it takes! Please don't mess with me!"
