Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Compensation for psychological injury
Translator: Doggotranslation
“Don’t call the police, just tell me what you want.”
“So you want to settle it in private?” I condensed my gaze and said aggressively: “So, do you admit that you hired those people to cause trouble for me?”
Zhang Mingjie only thought that I was deliberately trying to humiliate him in front of Liusu. Although he felt frustrated, he was unable to change anything, “Yes. . .”
I didn’t plan to let him brush off the question easily and asked again, “yes what?”
Zhang Mingjie gritted his teeth and said, “It was me who hired those people, and I wanted to humiliate you in front of Miss Cheng. Are you happy now? Chu Nan, let them go first, you just want some compensation, right? Name your price, I will not bargain.”
As Mo Yizhi gradually retired from the business world, the Zhang family was trying everything they could to control Fengchang; so the reputation was extremely important for them. Therefore, it was reasonable for Zhang Mingjie to think that I would extort money from him, but. . . he still underestimated how shameless I could be if I wanted to. If I didn’t teach him a hard lesson, he would definitely do the same thing again.
“Since you admitted, then. . .” I walked slowly toward Zhang Mingjie, and as the amiable expression on my face suddenly disappeared, I gave two heavy slaps to his face and then threw a kick at his stomach. When he instantly culled up his body in pain, I grabbed the hair on the back of his head and forced him to raise his face. Then I threw an uppercut punch to his chin. The moment Zhang Mingjie’s feet were lifted off the ground, I felt that my attacking posture was very cool. It looked like some anime character had just unleashed his ultimate skill.
When we were talking, our voice was not loud, no one could hear our conversation. Therefore, seeing me suddenly beat up Zhang Mingjie, everyone was shocked.
Mhm, this was exactly the effect that I wanted to have. I wanted to let them know that even a worm would turn. Once they knew how ruthless I could be, who would dare to think about hitting on my future wife when I was not around?
“You. . . How dare you hit me!” As if drunk, Young Master Zhang staggered to his feet. His forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes filled with tears, and the corners of his mouth had blood. He was extremely angry, but he still tried to hold his anger back.
I ignored him, stretched out my hand behind Liusu’s back with a smirk. I pinched her waist gently, blinked at her, and then looked at her mobile phone, and said: “Babe, did you record it?”
Liusu immediately understood my intention and smiled: “Mhm, I have recorded everything. They have planned everything and deliberately tried to harm you.”
In fact, Liusu just shook her phone, but she didn’t record it at all. But how would Zhang Mingjie know about it? Hearing what she said, he almost peed himself, “Chu Nan, you are playing dirty! !”
“It was you who played dirty first. With this thing, you won’t be able to make up nonsense once you are in the police station,” Before Zhang Mingjie could speak again, I immediately shouted to the security guard who came up: “Brothers, the police will be here soon, please keep eyes on those who deliberately made trouble in front of the company. The chairman will definitely give you bonuses~!”
Although I said that the police would be here soon, actually, I just called the police at this time. The group of security guards who had rushed towards me was confused when they heard that I had called the police. But when they heard that there would probably be bonuses, they immediately speeded up and rushed over in lightning speed.
The rest of the two delinquents who were still able to move ran away immediately when they heard that I had really called the police. They were not stupid, Zhang Mingjie couldn’t even protect himself now, let alone them. However, although they tried their best, they were still caught up and held down by seven or eight security guards.
“Chu Nan, do you really want to get things into an impa.s.se?” Zhang Mingjie trembled all over, not sure if he was frightened or angry.
“Get things into an impa.s.se? Fine then, I’ll give you another chance. Actually, I have always been a very kind person,” I put away my phone and chuckled lightly, “The police will come right away. If you don’t want me to expose you in the station, it’s easy. Didn’t you just ask me to name the price? I won’t ask too much.”
Zhang Mingjie, Li, and Hong immediately paid their attention, “How much?”
For this kind of person, money was nothing more than just a number.
“I could afford the medical expenses myself. As for the cost of mental loss, I think it is more appropriate to repay the psychological injury.” I rubbed my already a little bit swollen face and smiled, “Young master Zhang, you slap yourself ten times, and then used your loudest voice to say that you are sorry to me fifty times, then I will let it go. See? I am very kind and generous?”
There were more and more onlookers; most of them were the employees of Fengchang who came out during the lunch break to have some fresh air. It would be strange if Zhang Mingjie would really accept this kind of condition, “You. . . Don’t push me too far!”
“I already go easy on you. You should thank me for not asking you to kneel before me and say it,” I snorted and shrugged. “Besides, you think I am pushing you too far? If you don’t push me, would I push back? What if the person that was lying on the ground bleeding was me? Would you think that you were pushing other people too far?”
Zhang Mingjie didn’t know what to say. Just at this moment of hesitation, the crowd suddenly burst into a commotion, and then scattered like a flock of birds, “Chu Nan? Is it really you?!”
My heart trembled suddenly. As I turned around, I discovered that it was Mo Fei who scared away the crowd.
Her haggard face made me feel guilty, and the corners of her eyes were a little red and swollen. As if she was worried that she would scare me away like she scared away other people, she suddenly stopped when he was seven or eight steps away from me. The anxious and fearful look of her made her look like a heart-broken girlfriend rather than a resolute and high-cla.s.s iron lady that she normally looked.
A very famous martial art master once said, there were no men who were afraid of their wives, only men who respected their wives. Well, like what people said about great minds think alike, I also thought so. So I carefully glanced at Liusu beside me. Seeing that she was only slightly a little surprised, and there was no sign of jealousy or anger, I was a little relieved. It seemed that those two didn’t get into any argument because of what happened to me.
“Ms. Mo, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet. . .” I gave a very foolish response. Even Song Jia who was behind Mo Fei also couldn’t help but roll her eyes at me. But when she saw the b.l.o.o.d.y scene under my feet, her face instantly turned pale, and she almost puked.
Although we were no longer friends, we were not enemies either. It hasn’t got to a point that I would ignore her and pretend that I didn’t see her. After all, I was also a well-educated man and a gentleman, how would I do that kind of thing?
“Yes, what a coincidence. . .” Mo Fei’s answer almost made those employees who had scattered tripped over. Coincidence? The news that I was having a fight with people in front of the company after being ‘fired’ had already spread out in the company. All of those who came out of the company to see it had heard of it. How was it a coincidence?
I smiled, feeling very awkward. And Mo Fei also fell silent. However, seeing that she and Song Jia were panting, I could tell that they must have run out of the company as fast as they could when they heard the news.
The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence for a while, how could Mo Fei not notice it? We couldn’t keep staying like this, could we? So she began to look at the situation, her expression gradually changed, and her eyes stared at Zhang Mingjie sharply, “deputy general manager Zhang, what happened here?”
Mo Fei was very smart. She immediately knew that it was Zhang Mingjie who was responsible for this b.l.o.o.d.y scene. But her reaction seemed to have provoked Liusu for no reason. The bratty girl pinched the back of my hand fiercely.
“This. . . I. . .” If Mo Fei found out it was he who was responsible for what happened today, he probably would not be able to keep his position in Fengchang. Nervously, he stuttered.
Mo Fei’s pretty face was cold, and she immediately recovered her former cold glamour. Her stern eyes swept across Li Qi and Hong Tao. The two couldn’t help but tremble all over. Then she looked back at me and asked me in a deep voice, “Chu Nan, did they cause trouble for you?”
In Mo Fei’s question, she actually included Zhang Mingjie. It seemed like she wanted to help me to punish them. However, I couldn’t let her do it. If I let her do it, it would mean that I would owe her a favor. Then in the future, our relationship would become ambiguous again.
Although favor could be paid back in many ways, I needed to establish my position clearly. I shouldn’t have any interaction with Mo Fei in the future. Even if we met by accident, I should only nod at her to greet her from afar. I should not allow myself to get closer to her again.
Liusu, this jealous girl, obviously thought of this too. She said hurriedly: “Some personal issues, and we have already called the police. There is no need to get Ms. Mo involved.”
Mo Fei was dazed. I nodded, “Yes, Ms. Mo, the police will be here soon. You can go back now, you shouldn’t be involved in this kind of conflict. It will not be good for your reputation.”
