Chapter 169: Pretending to Be Hurt
Jiang Chenglang shook his head.
“Forget it, let him go.”
He knew exactly what this fourth brother of his was planning.
He had retreated so quickly, he must have thought of another way in. Jiang Zeyu just didn’t want to be caught by him, so that he wouldn’t have a chance to stop him.
On the other side, Jiang Zeyu turned in a big circle, easily hopped the school fence, and landed on the ground. He snorted indignantly.
Heh, you trying to stop me?
If he really wanted to come in, who would be able to stop him?
How naive.
Jiang Zeyu whistled and leisurely walked toward the classrooms with his hands in his pockets.
…
In front of the school’s announcement board.
The results and rankings of the monthly exams of A High were posted there. A large group of parents was gathered in front of the announcement board.
An Yimin had no intentions of going forward.
When he arrives at the class, during the parent-teacher meeting, he would be able to find out his child’s results and ranking.
If he went over now, even though he would be able to find out the results earlier and he would be able to see the entire school’s student rankings, An Yimin knew what level Jiang Yu was at, so he wasn’t that curious.
However, just as he was about to walk away, he heard Jiang Yu’s name and stopped in his tracks.
“Who is Jiang Yu? I’ve never heard her name before. Is she a new transfer student?”
“Look, she’s a Class Seven student! Oh my God, a Class Seven student got first place in the grade. Has there been a mistake?”
“She’s got full marks on all subjects. Was there a mistake? Full marks? I don’t believe it!”
“Could it be that the questions for this exam were too easy? But I don’t think my son’s score this time is much higher than the last…”
“…”
While everyone was discussing among themselves, An Yimin had stopped and heard Jiang Yu’s name a few times.
An Yimin was sure that he didn’t hear it wrong. He just didn’t know if this was the same person or not.
However, he still couldn’t help but squeeze in. When he looked up, he saw the first-place rank on the scoreboard:
“First place, Jiang Yu (Class Seven), 750 points.”
An Yimin felt strange. Since when did Class Seven have someone named Yu as well?
He didn’t think too much about it. He subconsciously looked for Jiang Yu’s name at the bottom ten of the grade but to his surprise, he didn’t find her name.
An Yimin was happy. It seemed that Yu Yu had really improved this time!
He looked through the bottom few names again. However, after looking for a long time, but he couldn’t find the name he was looking for. He kept looking toward the first place of the grade…
Eh, did Yu Yu change her name?
Why was there only one Yu on this list? Why was there no An Yu?
An Yimin was very puzzled. Could it be that Yu Yu’s name hd been left out of this list?
However, there were over 500 names on the list.
An Yimin was filled with doubt as he squeezed out of the crowd. He was prepared to ask Teacher Zhao when he reached the class. However, because he was walking with his head lowered, he accidentally bumped into someone.
An Yimin was knocked back a step. However, because he had not been paying attention to where he was going, he quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
That person opened his mouth and scolded, “Don’t you have eyes? Are you blind? What’s the use of having eyes on your face? If it’s useless, you might as well donate them!”
“I’m truly am sorry…”
Ji Guomin looked at him from head to toe. In his heart, he assumed that the person in front of him was a pushover.
His expression suddenly changed, and he covered his chest and said, “Ah, it hurts! You’ve hurt me!”
Chapter 170: 100,000 Yuan. Will That Be Enough?
An Yimin said nervously, “Sir, are you alright? Are your injuries serious? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?”
Ji Guomin bent over. “Aiya, I’m in so much pain. I can’t straighten my back. Aiya…”
An Yimin wanted to support him but he was afraid of hurting him any further.
He said helplessly, “Hold on. I… I’ll call an ambulance for you.”
“There’s no need for that.”
Ji Guomin grabbed his hand. “There’s no need to call an ambulance. You’ve injured me. You just have to compensate me. I don’t want much. 10,000 yuan will do!”
An Yimin was stunned.
How could someone ask for such a sky-high price?!
He looked at Ji Guomin’s sinister eyes and finally understood.
Why was this person really injured? He was clearly trying to cheat his money!
That’s right. He had just been walking and it was Ji Guomin who had bumped into him.
He was thinner and weaker than Ji Guomin. He was even knocked back a step, but Ji Guomin had looked just fine. Then, he opened his mouth and asked for money. It was clear that this man just wanted to extort him!
An Yimin frowned and said, “Sir, you are clearly not injured. How can you lie about this?”
“Who says I’m lying?!” Ji Guomin raised his voice. “You’re the one who wants to skip out on your debt!”
He grabbed An Yimin’s hand tightly and even tugged at him. He shouted, “Who here is your child? How can you refuse to admit when you’ve injured someone? What kind of parent are you? The child you raised must be a liar as well!”
“Everyone, come and take a look. Let’s see if this person still refuses to admit he’s wrong!”
He shouted loudly to attract the attention of the people around them. He continued to cover his chest with his other hand and pretended to be weak. “Ah, it hurts. I’m injured. It hurts so much. Ah ah ah ah…”
The parent-teacher meeting was about to begin. An Yimin did not want to continue arguing with him but this person continued to hold on to him tightly.
An Yimin has never met such a scoundrel before. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
He had always been an honest man. He has never been angry at anyone, let alone quarrel in public.
Now, facing such a scoundrel, An Yimin’s face turned red. He felt angry and helpless, “How can you be so unreasonable? I said I wanted to take you to the hospital but you refused. If you go to the hospital for a check-up and if there really is a problem, I’m willing to bear the medical expenses.”
“But if you directly ask for 10,000 yuan, aren’t you just trying to swindle my money?”
Ji Guomin pointed at An Yimin unhappily and said, “Clean your mouth. Who’s trying to swindle your money? I just want the money I deserve right now! You’ve hurt me, shouldn’t you pay for it?”
His finger was about to poke An Yimin’s face when suddenly, a hand reached out.
That hand grabbed Ji Guomin’s wrist and twisted it gently.
“Ah!”
Ji Guomin cried out in pain. He let go of his hand and An Yimin regained his freedom. He immediately took a step back.
Ji Guomin was really in pain this time. He cursed, “What are you doing?!”
The man who grabbed his wrist had a cold expression, like a sheet of ice. His face was expressionless.
Ji Guomin shouted, “Who are you?! Oh, I understand! You guys are in cahoots, aren’t you?!”
The man didn’t say anything but the strength in his hand grew even stronger.
Ji Guomin’s face turned pale from the pain. Other than “Ahhh”, he couldn’t say anything else.
At this moment, a calm and cold voice came from the side, “You want money?”
A handsome and noble-looking man slowly walked over and said lightly, “How about I cripple this hand and give you 100,000 yuan. Will that be enough?”
Chapter 171: Fall on His Head
Ji Guomin was in so much pain that he could not respond.
He resisted the pain and twisted his head, he wanted to see who was speaking. However, when he saw the man’s face, he was shocked.
The reason was very simple.
The man had stunning features, like a celebrity who had walked out of a fashion magazine.
Moreover, his aura was both rich and noble. It was obvious that the man was a big shot that he could not afford to offend.
Although he did not know why such a big shot would interfere in such a small matter, Ji Guomin still tactfully shook his head and said, “I don’t want it anymore. I don’t want the money anymore. I don’t feel any pain, I’m alright now…”
The man snorted coldly. “It’s too late to regret now.”
He ordered, “Yanbin, get someone to send him to the hospital for a check-up. If nothing’s wrong…”
Feng Linbai paused for a moment. “Charge him with a medical bill of 10,000 yuan, no more no less. I’m sure you can figure out a way to do that.”
Ke Yanbin said, “Understood.”
He loosened his grip slightly. When Ji Guomin was no longer in extreme pain, he immediately shouted, “You, you, you… Who are you?! If you dare to do this, believe me, I will sue you!”
“I don’t care who you are but we’re part of a fair and just society. You can’t just do whatever you want!”
Feng Linbai glanced at Ke Yanbin impatiently. Ke Yanbin quickly understood what he meant and immediately clammed Ji Guomin’s mouth shut.
An Yimin looked around uneasily and said politely, “Young man, thank you for helping me out but he didn’t succeed in extorting me and I did not suffer any losses.”
“Umm… If you send him to the hospital like this… it might be problematic later.”
An Yimin was putting it mildly.
He understood the meaning of the man’s words. He wanted to punish this scammer. Although the man seemed to have an extraordinary status, there were so many people watching. If this scammer was really hospitalized, would he come back to the school and make a scene again?
Not only would it be bad for the man’s reputation, but it would also have a bad impact on the school.
Although he did not know the identity of the man, An Yimin had good character and he did not want to stoop to someone else’s level.
“It’s alright.”
Feng Linbai said politely to An Yimin, “He said that he was injured and he wants you to compensate him with 10,000 yuan. So many people saw and heard the commotion.”
“It’s hard to say if he was really injured without a hospital report. What if he suffered some internal injuries? Of course, we can’t just listen to his side of the story. It’s safer to send him to the hospital.”
“Also, of course, we have to see the real report and the receipts before we can pay. Otherwise, what if a few days later, he says comes back and claims that his brain has been damaged and wants you to pay a million dollars?”
Ke Yanbin thought silently at the side. This scoundrel thought that he had found a weak person that he could bully. He didn’t even bother to find out who this person’s family was. Did he really fall on his head?
Master was so being patient with someone for the first time ever. Was it because this man was Jiang Yu’s adoptive father?
According to the information, Jiang Yu’s adoptive parents and family treated Jiang Yu very well. They treated her like their own.
Today was the parent-teacher conference of A High. Feng Linbai had claimed that he was bored at home and had nothing else to do. He wanted to come with Feng Wenshu.
Feng Wenshu thought about how his son was going to give a speech in front of the whole school. What an honor it was. It was a good opportunity to brag in front of Feng Linbai, so of course, he agreed.
After entering the school, Feng Wenshu went to Feng Junhao’s class. Feng Linbai said that he was going to find someone, so the two of them separated.
