Chapter 779 Taking advantage of the situation
"boom!"
Chao Fan fired a shot into the sky and roared, "Don't move!"
At the same time, Wang Zi and the others also drew their weapons and immediately subdued Lasso and the others. Wang Dakeng brandished his dual pistols, one aimed at Lasso and the other at Koru: "Hey guys, wanna try out my guns?"
Lasso was sweating profusely from the pain, gripping his injured wrist tightly, and gritting his teeth: "Who are you people?"
Chao Bufan blew on the muzzle of the gun and laughed, "Brother Lasso, don't you find it funny that you're only asking us who we are now?"
Lasso frowned: "What do you want?"
"What are you doing?" Zhou Weihua stepped forward and roared, "Lasso, I have no grudge against you, yet you put me in jail. I almost died in the cell. Tell me, what do you want?"
After hearing this, Lasso was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Brother, we've never met before, when have I ever framed you?"
"Really? Then let me ask you, what's the deal with the owner of Zhou Yang Supermarket?"
"Zhou Yang Supermarket? You are..."
"What? You've remembered now?"
"Brother, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Lasso immediately smiled apologetically.
"Heh! A misunderstanding? Lasso, this 'misunderstanding' almost cost me my life!"
"Brother, you're all right now, aren't you? Let's talk this out. I'm willing to compensate you for your emotional distress."
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Brother Lasso, are you really planning to settle this matter with compensation?"
Seeing that there was a chance, Lasso quickly said, "As long as you brothers are willing, you name your price and I will compensate you."
Zhou Weihua nodded: "Alright, I won't ask for much from you, you just need to compensate me with one hundred million US dollars."
"How much?" Lasso thought he had misheard.
"Didn't you hear me? Then I'll repeat it again: you just need to compensate me one hundred million US dollars."
"One hundred million US dollars?"
"What, do you think the compensation is too little?"
"Dude, are you kidding me? You want me to pay you a hundred million US dollars in compensation for emotional distress?"
“I almost lost my life, do you think I’m joking? Lasso, I’ll give you ten seconds to think it over. If you’re willing to pay compensation, then I’ll have my brothers put down their guns to prevent them from accidentally going off. If you’re not, then I can’t guarantee what will happen next. Alright, start the timer…”
Lasso frowned, his heart burning with anger.
"Time's up, Lasso, what's your decision?" Zhou Weihua toyed with the silver pistol in his hand.
"Brother, I'll pay for it, but I can't come up with that much money all at once. How about this, can you give me a day? I'll go and borrow it."
"Lasso, how can you say something like that? Do you think we're three-year-olds?"
"No, no, absolutely not, brother, I really don't have that much money on me."
"What a joke! The Tianxing Gang is so powerful, yet its leader can't even come up with this little bit of money. What a pathetic leader he is."
"Brother, one hundred million US dollars, that's no small sum. I don't have that much money. I can only come up with ten or twenty million at most right now. One hundred million US dollars, I really..."
"Bang!" Zhou Weihua fired a shot into the air, startling Lasso, who trembled all over. "Lasso, I don't have time to listen to your complaints about being poor. I'm just asking you, are you going to give it or not?"
"Brother, can we sit down and have a proper talk? How about this, fifty million US dollars, if you think it's okay, I'll give it to you right now, if not, even if you shoot me and kill me, I still can't come up with one hundred million US dollars."
Chao Bufan laughed, "Lasso, did we come all this way just for this little bit of money? Fifty million US dollars? Are you trying to fob us off? One price, eighty million US dollars, not a penny less, otherwise..." As he spoke, Chao Bufan fired a shot at Lasso's feet, startling Lasso into taking two steps back.
Lasso frowned, his old face instantly turning a liverish color. No one noticed that Koru had already put his hands in his pockets. He quickly pulled out a pistol, intending to shoot Zhou Weihua, but before he could pull the trigger, Wang Dakeng beat him to it. With a "bang," the bullet struck him squarely between the eyebrows. The man didn't even have time to scream before his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Cru…” Laso exclaimed in surprise, then flew into a rage, “You…”
"What do you mean, 'you'?! I've changed my mind now, Lasso, you're all going to die!"
Zhou Weihua's face suddenly turned angry, and he pretended to be about to snatch the money, which frightened Laso into hurriedly saying, "Wait! Eighty million US dollars, I'll give it to you right now."
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Brother Lasso, if you had agreed earlier, this guy wouldn't have been in such a hurry to be reincarnated, would he?"
He then winked at Zhou Weihua, who understood and took out a bank card, throwing it in front of Lasso: "Two minutes. If the money isn't in your account, don't blame me for being impolite."
Lasso was quick and efficient; without saying a word, he transferred 80 million US dollars to Zhou Weihua's account.
"Brother, I've transferred every penny to this card. Can you put your guns down now?"
Zhou Weihua took back the bank card and handed it to Wang Dakeng. Wang Dakeng put away his gun and laughed, "No rush, you'll have to wait a minute or two." As he spoke, he took out his laptop, held it with one hand, and started working on it with the other.
Chao Bufan said, "Brother Lasso, I know your brothers outside are getting impatient. If we go out like this, we'll definitely be riddled with bullets by your brothers. Why don't you just go all the way and give us a car?"
"Hurry up, tell them to bring a car to the door!" Ge Dawei shouted.
Lasso quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll arrange a car for you right away."
Over here, Wang Dakeng had already taken some steps to deal with the $80 million to prevent it from being frozen by Lasso reporting to the police, and Lasso had also notified his men to send a car over.
A white SUV pulled up at the entrance. Zhou Weihua said, "Lasso, we'll have to trouble you to escort us to a safe place."
After hearing this, Lasso seemed to hesitate. Wang Zi, looking impatient, said, "Damn it, if you dawdle any longer, I'll shoot you dead."
"No, no, no, brother, I'll escort you out."
Zhou Weihua acted as the driver, having been in the area for over a year and familiar with the terrain. However, as soon as they got in the car, Ge Dawei and Wang Zi blindfolded Lasuo and tied his hands and feet. The car stopped in the suburbs, and by the time Lasuo's men arrived, Chao Bufan and his five friends were already nowhere to be found.
