Chapter 959: Direct Threat
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“But…” Xiaoju still somewhat hesitated. After all, twenty thousand yuan wasn’t a small amount. The villagers also probably heard about the income of Sister Xiaoying’s billiard room. It was more than three thousand yuan a month. After paying for the expenditures, she would earn twenty thousand yuan a year. This was a year’s worth of savings.
“No more buts. Your brother needs money. Whether you want to make it a court case or not, treating the injured is the most important thing,” said Xu Peng.
“Xu Peng, what’s wrong?” Yang Ming couldn’t help but ask.
“Brother Yang? You are here!” Xu Peng was surprised to see Yang Ming. He quickly welcomed him. “Xiaoying, quickly get a cup of hot water for Brother Yang. The weather is really cold!”
“Don’t busy yourself. We just finished eating. It isn’t cold.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Xu Peng, do we still need the pleasantries between you and me?”
Xu Peng didn’t say anything, but Xu Peng’s wife, Xiaoying, was moved in her heart. Yang Ming was very powerful last time. Even the little punks on the street were scared away. He was certainly not simple. So, she hesitated and said to Xu Peng, “Big Peng, do you think Brother Yang can help you out with Xiaoju’s matter…”
Xu Peng glanced at Xiaoying and sighed. “Fine. Let’s talk about it!” Then he spoke to Yang Ming in a slightly apologetic tone, “Brother Yang, I’m really sorry. You just came, and I have to trouble you…”
“Xu Peng, what are you talking about? We are buddies. How is that trouble? If you have anything to say, just say it.” Yang Ming also heard the outline before, but he did not know the specifics.
“Xiaoju, quickly tell Brother Yang the matter!” Xiaoying quickly reminded Xiaoju, “Brother Yang is very powerful!”
” Ah !” Xiaoju did not expect things to turn around. It seems that there is a turning point. Although I don’t know the specific ident.i.ty of the people in front of me, since Sister Xiaoying says that he can help, I should try quickly. “This is the case…”
Xiaoju spoke with tears about the matters in her home. Xiaoju’s full name was w.a.n.g Xiaoju. Her older brother was w.a.n.g Dajun. He was working in Song Jiang as a construction worker at a construction company here last year. After a year of work, the boss was still holding his salary, so w.a.n.g Dajun went with several workers to collect on their debts.
However, not only did they not get their salary, but they were beaten up by a group of hitmen that the boss hired. w.a.n.g Dajun was hot-tempered. He climbed onto the scaffolding and threatened that if no money were given to him today, he would jump from it!
However, the boss did not buy his move. He just called the hitman to push w.a.n.g Dajun down. His limbs were completely broken as he fell down. Seeing that the boss was so cruel, those workers who asked for money did not dare to make trouble and dispersed.
Later, the boss found w.a.n.g Dajun’s home and gave w.a.n.g Dajun’s family two choices. One was to settle it with one hundred thousand yuan privately; the other was to wait for the entire family to be destroyed.
When w.a.n.g Dajun’s family saw that the boss was so rampant, they did not dare to confront him openly. They had to choose the private option. They took one hundred thousand yuan and signed a private compensation agreement.
They thought that one hundred thousand yuan was enough for medical treatment, but they didn’t antic.i.p.ate that w.a.n.g Dajun had multiple fractures. The cost of surgery was already one hundred thousand yuan, aside from the other hospitalization costs!
w.a.n.g Dajun’s family had no money, so they were dumbfounded. In desperation, w.a.n.g Xiaoju had to find Sister Xiaoying who came from the same village. She heard that Sister Xiaoying had found a boyfriend in the city, so she wanted to ask if they had any solutions.
After listening to w.a.n.g Xiaoju’s narrative, Yang Ming sighed and turned to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and whispered, “What would you do if you encountered this?”
“I will directly kill him.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan glanced at Yang Ming. Isn’t this guy asking the obvious?
Of course, the two conversed with each other softly. The others simply couldn’t hear them.
“w.a.n.g Xiaoju, is it?” Yang Ming nodded to w.a.n.g Xiaoju and then asked, “You tell me first. What is the purpose of the lawsuit you want to file for that boss?”
“Let him… let him get the punishment he deserved…” w.a.n.g Xiaoju said as she lowered her head.
“Is it just punishment?” Yang Ming looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoju’s somewhat fl.u.s.tered appearance and smiled. “Do you think his compensation of a hundred thousand yuan isn’t enough? Or, do you really want him to go to jail?”
w.a.n.g Xiaoju hesitated a moment and said, “It is just not enough money… The medical expenses now cost a hundred thousand yuan. My brother hasn’t been discharged…”
She then went to the boss and asked him for money for the medical expenses, but the boss said that he would not give a single cent to her. w.a.n.g Xiaoju did not want to cause trouble, but her brother was in urgent need of money now. Otherwise, there was a danger of being paralyzed. Only then did she plan to bring it to court.
“What company?” Yang Ming nodded and asked. There were too many incidents of workers with wages in arrears and even where hitmen were hired to attack the workers who asked for their pay. Yang Ming couldn’t control it. However, since w.a.n.g Xiaoju found him through Xu Peng’s relations.h.i.+p, Yang Ming decided to help her.
In the case of the lawsuit, Yang Ming did not want to bother about it. He was not familiar with the procedure. After all, he was not a lawyer. But getting a few million yuan from that company was a piece of cake.
“It is called Dekang Real Estate. My brother is working under the Dekang Construction Engineering Company under Dekang Real Estate.” When w.a.n.g Xiaoju heard Yang Ming’s words, she felt there was a chance.
“What? Dekang Real Estate?” Yang Ming was surprised all of a sudden. No way? Dekang Real Estate again? This Wei Dekang. I was still thinking to find a reason to deal with you. Now there is a chance.
w.a.n.g Xiaoju saw Yang Ming was stunned. She thought that Yang Ming was familiar with people from Dekang Real Estate. w.a.n.g Xiaoju thought, It seems that I have no hope this time. However, she heard Yang Ming say, “Dekang Real Estate? Great!”
“Great? What’s great about it…?” w.a.n.g Xiaoju was inexplicably confused by Yang Ming’s words.
Xu Peng and Xiaoying were also baffled.
“I will handle this matter for you!” said Yang Ming. “How much more money do you need?”
When w.a.n.g Xiaoju heard Yang Ming, her heart was so excited. Did it get resolved just like that? I pled to the boss, yet there were no results for a long time. Can this “Brother Yang” really help solve it?
“The doctor said the recovery needs at least fifty thousand yuan…” said w.a.n.g Xiaoju.
“Fifty thousand yuan, is it? Fine.” Yang Ming nodded, then he took out his mobile phone and dialed Bao Sanli’s phone.
“Brother Yang, good morning. Do you need me for anything?” Bao Sanli’s voice was very spirited. It seemed that he had a good rest last night.
“Do you have Wei Dekang’s phone number? Look it up for me,” said Yang Ming.
“Okay.” Bao Sanli took the phone book and flipped through it. He found the phone of Dekang Real Estate’s Wei Dekang and read it to Yang Ming, “Brother Yang, his phone number is 139…”
“Okay, I got it.” Yang Ming wrote down Wei Dekang’s phone number.
“Brother Yang, Wei Dekang, is this old guy not reconciled? Do you need me to bring people…” Bao Sanli also knew what happened yesterday, that Zhang Penbai’s people had beaten up Wei Dekang’s underling, Zhou Xiaoming.
“You don’t have to do that yet. I will call you when I need you,” said Yang Ming.
Hanging up Bao Sanli’s phone call, Yang Ming called Wei Dekang directly. After the phone rang three times, Wei Dekang picked up. “h.e.l.lo.”
“Is it Wei Dekang? This is Yang Ming,” said Yang Ming directly.
“…” Wei Dekang was silent for a while, then he said with an angry voice, “Was it you who hurt my son?”
“Don’t talk about this first. I will give you a chance to repair our relations.h.i.+p now. I heard that one of your guys from the construction company called Zheng something pushed a worker asking for wages from the scaffolding. I know this worker. How about this? You let him have three million yuan, and I will forget about the case,” said Yang Ming.
Before Wei Dekang could talk, Yang Ming said a lot on his side, which made Wei Dekang inexplicable after hearing it. In the end, he finally understood Yang Ming’s intention! This guy called me to help others ask for compensation?
“Little b*stard! Who the h.e.l.l are you?” Wei Dekang was furious. He didn’t expect Yang Ming not to put him in his eyes. How could Wei Dekang not be angry? He almost smashed the phone. “Just you wait. My son’s matter isn’t settled yet!”
“Wei Dekang, the opportunity is equal for everyone. I have given you a chance. If you don’t cherish it yourself, don’t blame me for not reminding you!” Yang Ming was hoping that Wei Dekang didn’t agree. If Wei Dekang readily agreed, how could Yang Ming stir up trouble?
“F*ck off!” Wei Dekang hung up.
w.a.n.g Xiaoju also saw that the people on the other side of the phone did not agree, and she said anxiously, “Brother Yang, I do not need so much money. Fifty thousand yuan is enough…”
When Yang Ming said three million before, w.a.n.g Xiaoju was shocked. How many times has this been multiplied!?
” Hehe , don’t worry. Don’t look at this Wei Dekang being savage for now. In a few days, even if he rushed in to send me money, I will not take it!” Yang Ming sneered and said immediately to w.a.n.g Xiaoju, “Which hospital is your brother at? I will ask someone to arrange it for you. Before Wei Dekang’s money is in place, we can not delay the treatment. As for the twenty thousand yuan from Xu Peng, there is no need for it.”
“The First People’s Hospital…” When w.a.n.g Xiaoju heard Yang Ming’s tone, she knew that Yang Ming was not simple. He dared to talk to the owner of Dekang Real Estate in such a way. How could he be simple?
After Yang Ming heard it, he took out his mobile phone and called Bao Sanli to ask him to arrange it. The First People’s Hospital in the city had a patient named w.a.n.g Dajun. Bao Sanli naturally went to handle it immediately.
Not long after, w.a.n.g Xiaoju’s family called and told w.a.n.g Xiaoju happily that w.a.n.g Dajun had been transferred to a premium ward, and better medicine was administered as well.
w.a.n.g Xiaoju thanked Yang Ming. Yang Ming laughed and said nothing. He thought about how he could use the current matter to get Wei Dekang’s company.
