SRGA Chapter 135: Not a Penny Less Than Thirty Billion
Zheng Guangyao's face became somewhat unsightly.
Lin Tian said this, and Luo Bingning didn't object. Could it be that Lin Tian was not simple, and he had kicked a hard iron board?
"Hmph."
With a cold snort, Zheng Guangyao turned and left.
Lin Haisheng said, "Son, will there be any problems?"
Lin Tian smiled, "Dad, don't worry, there won't be any problems. If the Zheng family is smart, they'll prepare thirty billion."
Chen Juan whispered, "Son, will the Zheng family call the police? Will the police say this is extortion?"
Sitting down beside Luo Bingning, Lin Tian said, "Mom, a small amount of money is extortion, but tens of billions are not."
"In ancient times, if someone privately raised five thousand cavalry soldiers and was reported, if the emperor investigated and confirmed it, that would be a death sentence."
"If you have five hundred thousand cavalry soldiers, you can say this: 'In all my actions throughout my life, why do I need to explain to others?'"
Luo Bingning chuckled.
Lin Haisheng said, "Son, you have to be a bit more discreet."
Lin Tian nodded.
"I've been very low-key. If the Zheng family still provokes me under these circumstances, it's their problem, not mine."
"Those above will understand too."
Luo Bingning smiled, "Uncle, Aunt, when it comes to being low-key, I don't think there's any need to advise Lin Tian."
"He's too low-key."
"Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry for what just happened to you."
Chen Juan quickly said, "No, no. Bingning, don't worry, our ability to bear is not so fragile."
"That's right."
Lin Haisheng said.
Knowing their son's situation, Zheng Guangyao's words didn't affect them.
Just a measly ten million to joke around with?
The villa Lin Tian bought for them was worth over a hundred million.
The villa he bought for them alone exceeded ten million.
With such a small amount of money trying to intimidate them, they didn't even feel it.
...
Leaving the restaurant, Zheng Guangyao quickly made a phone call.
"Surnamed Wu, you've betrayed me."
Zheng Guangyao said in a cold voice.
The person on the other end of the phone was named Wu Zongliang, and he said in surprise, "Zheng Young Master, what do you mean? How did I betray you?"
Zheng Guangyao said coldly, "You deliberately mentioned that Luo Bingning has a boyfriend and said that Lin Tian's parents are in S City, and now she's still hosting Lin Tian's parents."
"You also said that Lin Tian's parents are just peasants."
Wu Zongliang said in a deep voice, "Zheng Young Master, you need to speak with a conscience. I did mention those things, but I was just trying to remind you."
"Tell me, did I say anything wrong?"
Zheng Guangyao was speechless. Wu Zongliang hadn't said anything wrong.
But Wu Zongliang definitely didn't have good intentions.
"Hmph."
Zheng Guangyao snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed the number of a local big shot in S City: "Wang Young Master, I have something to ask you about."
"Zheng Young Master, go ahead and ask."
Zheng Guangyao said, "Wang Young Master, didn't I express interest in Luo Bingning of the Luo family? Recently, she has a boyfriend. Do you know anything about his background?"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Jingtao's face changed slightly.
"Did you offend him, Zheng Young Master?"
Zheng Guangyao said, "It's not considered an offense, just a minor conflict. If you know anything, please inform me, Young Master Wang."
Wang Jingtao said, "At the Youth Martial Arts Competition, he killed three people from Dongying, and it's suspected that he has the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster."
"In addition, the online sensation, Grandmaster Lin, is very likely to be his master or a senior member of the Lin family."
"Grandmaster Lin is very likely to be the only Martial Arts Grandmaster in our country."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Guangyao felt his head buzzing.
As a member of a big family, he knew a little about martial arts, and he had practiced before, but he hadn't been able to persist.
He also knew about Grandmaster Lin online.
Picking flowers and leaves can kill people, flying on treetops, and even saying it during a live broadcast, there's no problem resisting pistol bullets.
Even in this era of firearms, he was still an extraordinary person.
In ancient times, he would be someone who could single-handedly take on ten thousand soldiers, a terrifying existence who could guard a city alone.
"Damn you, surnamed Wu!" Zheng Guangyao cursed inwardly.
He wanted to go back and plead, but he didn't dare to.
He had just scorned Lin Tian's parents. If he went back now and Lin Tian secretly dealt with him, where could he argue his case?
*Beep beep!*
After much consideration, Zheng Guangyao made a phone call to his father.
"Don't hang out with those foxes and dogs. You've come back to the country, so come home quickly. Your mom has been nagging about you."
Zheng Guangyao's father, Zheng Xishan, said.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Guangyao said, "Dad, I've gotten into a bit of trouble. Someone is asking our Zheng family to prepare thirty billion."
"What a bold demand!"
Zheng Xishan, on the other end of the phone, snorted coldly.
With assets of over a hundred billion in the Zheng family, his capabilities were not weak. When he took over, the Zheng family wasn't as strong as it was now.
"Tell me, who dares to make such a bold demand?"
Zheng Guangyao quickly revealed the name.
On the other end of the phone, Zheng Xishan's expression immediately changed.
"Foolish!"
"I've told you countless times, think twice before you act! You actually rushed in headfirst as soon as you heard a little information!"
Annoyed, Zheng Xishan said.
Feeling depressed, Zheng Guangyao said, "Dad, I carefully observed the situation before taking action. His parents really are just peasants."
"And this matter is related to Bingning, so—"
"Dad, he wants thirty billion from us. Can we just ignore him? Or should we report him to the police for extortion?"
After a moment of silence, Zheng Xishan said, "If a Grandmaster kills someone, do you think the police can find evidence?"
"Or will they seriously search for evidence?"
"If our Zheng family goes against a Martial Arts Grandmaster, others dare not say, but your old man, I'm afraid, won't survive three days."
Zheng Guangyao's face became quite unsightly.
"Dad, do we have to obediently give him thirty billion?"
If this thirty billion were given out, Zheng Guangyao knew that he would definitely become a marginal figure in the family in the future.
"Dad, is there a possibility that Grandmaster Lin is not his elder?"
Zheng Xishan said coldly, "What do you think? If there isn't a Grandmaster backing him, would he dare to make such a demand?"
"Go and apologize to him immediately."
"I'll gather the money on this end."
Even though the Zheng family had assets of over a hundred billion, coming up with thirty billion in cash was not something they could easily do.
However, they could still gather thirty billion within one night.
"How could this happen?"
After ending the call, Zheng Guangyao's face turned pale. If he gave away this thirty billion, he would definitely become a marginalized figure in the family.
"I have to go beg Lin Tian... Yes, I'll go beg him."
"If I can get his forgiveness, there's still hope."
Zheng Guangyao quickly returned to the restaurant where Lin Tian and the others were.
*Smack!*
Approaching Lin Tian and the others, Zheng Guangyao slapped himself in the face.
"Lin Shao, it was my fault just now."
"I shouldn't have provoked you. Can we let this matter go?"
Zheng Guangyao said in a low and humble voice.
Hearing the sound of the slap, some other people in the restaurant looked over, and some recognized Zheng Guangyao.
"Oh my, isn't that Zheng Guangyao from the Zheng family? He's usually quite arrogant, but today he actually slapped himself."
"It really is him. Who could he have offended to do something like this?"
Two young men at a nearby table whispered in shock.
Lin Tian said indifferently, "Zheng Guangyao, call your parents over. If each of you takes a punch from me, we'll forget about the thirty billion."
Zheng Guangyao's face turned ugly as he said, "Our Zheng family is not a small family. Do you have to be so aggressive?"
Lin Tian sneered, "Weren't you quite arrogant in front of my parents earlier?"
"Not a penny less than thirty billion."
"Now get out of here, or it won't just be thirty billion."
With a dark expression, Zheng Guangyao slinked away.
