Chapter 202 - So the Millionaire Card Can be Used That Way

Shi Lei was still faced with the bunch of police officers at the station.
But it wasn’t exactly like that. Shi Lei had casually pulled out another chair and was sitting, but the people surrounding him didn’t dare approach him without careful consideration.
Footsteps sounded outside. An officer ran in and waved his hands, saying, “Everyone, out! It’s chaos at the hospital. Hurry up! You guys stand guard in front of the door. Don’t let him get out. As for the rest, come to the hospital with me!”
The people there exchanged a glance with each other and could only leave the office. “What happened?” they asked after locking the door.
The man sighed. “Qin Huaiyuan’s wife called the police. In the same call, Jiangyang Properties’ CEO’s kid, Jiang Yuanchao, also wanted to report a case saying that Qin Huaiyuan’s wife is falsely accusing his friend. That’s enough. I’ll tell you on the way. Hurry up. Let’s head to the scene. I called the hospital about the situation, and they said that there are about seven fuerdais there. Out of them all, Jiang Yuanchao may even be the one who is the worst off. The rest of them…Let’s just hurry up and go. Something bad will definitely happen if we get there late!”
The few police officers quickly left in panic. Although Shi Lei couldn’t hear their conversation clearly, he more or less grasped the idea.
The Millionaire Card had taken effect!
He had a small smile on his face, knowing that the problem was basically solved. Someone would definitely take the blame for demolishing the house and he would be powerful and influential enough that he would have to be given some face, even if the law enforcement bureau’s leaders came, not to mention officers from the small Binjiang police station.
In the self service bank, Shi Lei had asked the Scepter, “The day of a millionaire doesn’t just include having the freedom to eat and drink whatever, going to luxurious places, and using luxurious things, right?
The Scepter didn’t understand where Shi Lei was heading with this, but replied honestly. “As long as it is something a millionaire can do and doesn’t violate any laws, anything works.”
Shi Lei smiled. “Are civil liabilities okay?”
“Just tell me what you want to do and I will determine whether it can be granted or not!” the Scepter said, slightly impatient.
Shi Lei then revealed his plan. “I hope that everyone who partic.i.p.ates in this doesn’t know any of the truth. And don’t do anything to their memories. You just have to use the Eye of the Dark Night(1) to find a wealthy person in Run Zhou. Tell him that he must keep everything a secret and cannot reveal the reason…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. No one will expose anything given to them from the Eye of the Dark Night!” The Scepter was slightly unhappy by Shi Lei’s mannerless and rude att.i.tude.
“Tell that wealthy person to arrange for his son and a few fuerdai to go to the hospital claiming to be my friends. While they’re at it, they should make a great fuss there, and the son should admit that he was the one who demolished the house. For a fuerdai of this level, demolishing someone’s house shouldn’t be violating any laws. At most, they would just have to pay compensation. And I will pay it myself. I demolished Qin Huaiyuan’s house for my own purposes and for avenging my parents, so I think it can be counted into the sum, since I have to pay compensation for it, right?”
The Scepter was dumbfounded. It had never imagined that the Millionaire Card could be used in such a way. But according to the rules, Shi Lei’s way of doing it really could be accepted. A day as a millionaire didn’t just involve spending money as if it was soil. It also included dealing with someone using a millionaire’s methods. And for a top level millionaire, something like demolishing an insignificant person’s house—even beating up the owner of the house—really wasn’t a big deal, as long as no one died. So much so that the family whose house had been demolished wouldn’t even dare pursue the matter. They would thank G.o.d if they could receive some compensation.
Although it was an unconventional gamble, the Scepter couldn’t deny that Shi Lei really did create a new way of using the Millionaire Card.
So it could be used like this! Even the Scepter and the Black Card definitely wouldn’t have thought of such a way!
“Interesting! You really are an unusual employee. If those seniors before you could think of something like this, they wouldn’t have died so quickly! Interesting!” The Scepter seemed to be whispering to itself, but Shi Lei knew that it agreed with him using the Millionaire Card like this.
“Then tell them to go to the police station. Don’t be afraid to make it big. One of them will receive the command from his father directly. This command should be to make it so that I can walk out of the police station safe and sound. They can also pressure the police into treating my parents’ situation fairly!”
So that was what had led to the scene at the hospital. After those fuerdais had driven their cars away, a few police officers also escorted Qin Huaiyuan’s wife—who was crying and making a fuss—into the car. They ignored her yelling and screaming and forcefully took her back to the police station.
The crowd at the hospital began to discuss what had happened and surprisingly, what they said was strangely in agreement. Although it was the fuerdais who relied on their backgrounds to bully someone, it was still rather satisfying to watch. After all, the person who had been bullied was even more annoying than this bunch of fuerdais.
“He’s over fifty years old already and they still fired him! Do they even want him to survive?”
“Exactly! Didn’t you hear? Just being fired is still acceptable, but they even took his house! He worked for that factory for half of his life and relied on that house for a place to live. If they take it away, where will he sleep?”
“20,000 yuan! Pah! If that dog thing dares to do that to me, I would carry a gas tank into their house and f*cking blow myself up with them!”
“They are bullying him so much! What was the average salary more than ten years ago? Only about 400 or 500 yuan! He would be bankrupt if he could save 20,000 yuan. They only gave him 20,000 yuan after more than ten years! That’s definitely not humane!”
“For the first time, I feel like it’s right for these fuerdais to bully someone!”
“Honestly, actual wealthy children don’t ever bully people first. There’s no need to. These bossy and domineering ones are probably like that Qin-something factory owner. They are just slightly better than us ordinary people, yet they don’t know what their own surname is and run amok outside all the time…”
“That’s hard to say. Well, it’s basically a wealthy person offending someone even wealthier…”
“Now that you mention it, how does an ordinary worker’s kid have so many wealthy friends?”
“Weren’t those fuerdais just lending a hand after seeing other people being treated unfairly?”
“I also think it’s because those fuerdais can’t bear to look at the injustice, not because they have some sort of relationship with the worker’s kid…”
Everyone shared their own opinions. After a while, they all lost interest and left.
When the police saw five or six luxurious cars pulling up into the station, they quickly blocked them. An officer rushed out and yelled, “What are you doing!? What are you doing!? Don’t park here!”
Someone pulled him aside and said in a low voice, “Be more polite. We can’t afford to offend anyone who can drive cars like these.”
A few policemen politely directed the cars and finally had them parking in a parking spot. If the police really let them block the station’s front entrance, then they would be totally humiliated.
“Is Shi Lei here?” Wu Xiaohua parked the car and directly asked the person with the most stripes on his uniform. He was the young master of a wealthy family and didn’t recognize any of the small people here.
The person he’d asked was precisely Chief Feng, who had rushed out after hearing the news. He frowned. “You are?”
“My name is Hu Xiaohua! My family owns Zhengping Real Estate!”
D*mn! Zhengping Real Estate was almost the biggest real estate company in Run Zhou. It was difficult to say what its net worth was, but it had to be at least a hundred billion yuan. His surname was Hu, which meant that he was Hu Dong’s son. Hu Dong possessed more than half of Zhengping Real Estate’s shares and had at least tens of billions yuan worth of a.s.sets.
“So you are Hu Shao. I’m the Chief here. My surname is Feng—”
Hu Xiaohua waved his hand, not even paying any attention to Chief Feng. “I don’t care what your surname is. I’m asking you if Shi Lei here.”
Chief Feng immediately clenched his teeth. “Yes, that brat is inside!”
