Chapter 280: Called the Police
Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Called the Police
Samuel Ross seemed to have anticipated that Mr. Yu wouldn’t feel at ease leaving, so while Mr. Yu shook his head in terror, Samuel said, "Every five minutes, I will make a call to my brothers using my phone, and you can talk to your wife and daughter to ask about their situation. That should be okay, right?"
"Relax... relax... relax," Wu-Mao said, while simultaneously singing, "We’re not that bad. We were just scaring you. Anyone who would harm such a cute child would be a real beast."
"That’s not good enough... I..." Mr. Yu still felt uneasy.
"You’ve got some nerve, huh? What are you?" Samuel’s voice dropped low, his friendly demeanor with Mr. Yu was no indication that they were genuinely good people.
"Alright, alright, let’s get this over with," Mr. Yu’s hand trembled because Samuel’s voice carried an extremely frightening, oppressive tone.
Lucy Clayton told him to hold on, but he really couldn’t bear it anymore, so he settled on breaking the agreement first.
As he and Samuel went downstairs, Yusuf Zuck pulled the car up beside them.
"Get in my car," Yusuf said, not wearing a mask, but smiling cheerfully at Mr. Yu.
Although Mr. Yu had long suspected that Sara’s brother was behind this, he was shocked to see Yusuf dare to show his face – weren’t they afraid that he would call the police afterward?
Mr. Yu got into the car silently, sitting in the back with Samuel.
"Mr. Yu, if you had agreed to my terms at noon, none of this would have happened, right? You scared your wife and child too much. What were you thinking? My sister broke the contract, a normal compensation for your losses would have been enough, right? With actors everywhere, did you really need to single out my sister?"
"Let me be blunt, I never had any respect for your crappy film company or its productions. And you dared to mess with me? Now, who’s the muddled one?" Yusuf said sarcastically as he drove.
Mr. Yu remained silent. He admitted defeat, of course, but he still didn’t rat out Brother Dao.
"Heh, are you thinking about how you’ll get back at me afterward, or call the police or something?" Yusuf looked at Mr. Yu through the rearview mirror, "You can call the police if you want, but I haven’t injured you, nor have I robbed you, so at most I’d be detained, maybe get a year or so if it’s serious. But think about it, if I get out in a year or so, do you think you’d still be alive?"
"My buddies are from out of town. Before the police can catch them, do you believe they’d kill you first, assault your wife and child?"
"I didn’t say I’d call the police," Mr. Yu finally mumbled.
"It doesn’t matter if you do, what I just described is the worst-case scenario, I didn’t even mention I have connections. If I spend some money, use those connections, you think I’d get a year or so?"
"No," Mr. Yu replied mechanically, indeed not, their behavior was at most threatening and illegally restraining someone without robbery or injury, which doesn’t constitute a serious crime!
...
In less than half an hour, they arrived at the film company. Fearing that the security guards might recognize him and cause trouble, Yusuf only allowed Samuel to accompany Mr. Yu upstairs.
In less than half an hour, Samuel came downstairs with Mr. Yu, handing over an agreement to Yusuf.
Yusuf carefully read the agreement, which essentially stated that after consulting with Sara, the company had decided to dissolve the contract signed on a certain date, implying no compensation from either side. The agreement was stamped with the company’s seal and signed by Mr. Yu.
"Just one copy?" Yusuf inquired after finishing reading.
"There are two copies. He said the other one needs to be kept on file at the company!" Samuel replied.
"Keep it on file for what?" Yusuf shook his head, "Go back up there and bring down the other copy of the agreement, delete that file over the phone, and also change the content of the agreement!"
Yusuf Zuck pondered, "Change it to the company forcibly terminating the contract. Originally, it was due to changes in the role, with the company unilaterally terminating the contract. Take down the previous contract signed with Sara Zuck as well, and let’s pretend this never happened!"
"Okay, let’s go back up and redo it," Samuel Ross said, carrying General Manager Yu out of the car.
Yusuf Zuck was taking precautions. Sara Zuck was bound to become a star, and once she did, if General Manager Yu brought out the old contract and the termination document to smear Sara Zuck’s name, it wouldn’t sound good at all. Thus, Yusuf Zuck wanted the original contract as well, and the contract termination wasn’t by mutual agreement but was unilaterally forced by the company.
That is to say, even if the film company used Sara Zuck as an issue in the future, they would be in the wrong because it was they who had forcibly terminated the contract with Sara Zuck on their own!
As for whether this was done under coercion, who knows? No one saw anything, so unless the police get involved in an investigation, it’s all baseless. Yusuf Zuck could even turn tables and accuse General Manager Yu of slander.
Yusuf Zuck was clever, thinking further and more long-term.
This time, it took a full hour before Samuel Ross and General Manager Yu came back down. Besides the newly printed contract termination statement, two copies of the old contract were also taken down.
"Boss, I searched the contract cabinet. The contract read ’in duplicate,’ so I took them all down. I’ve also removed the computer’s hard drive," Samuel Ross showed the computer hard drive in his hand. He was even more ruthless, executing a scorched-earth strategy.
"Alright, let’s go, General Manager Yu. It’s been a pleasure working with you. Also, I hope you won’t cause any more trouble in the future. If you try to stir things up again, I won’t be so polite next time. I can ruin you. Believe it or not?"
"I believe, I believe. I won’t do it again, I won’t do it again!" General Manager Yu waved his hands repeatedly, signaling his compromise.
At 9:30 p.m., Yusuf Zuck, with his entourage, quickly drove away from General Manager Yu’s neighborhood, while Samuel Ross didn’t drive the Land Rover but sat in Yusuf Zuck’s car.
"What if he calls the police? Should we go into hiding?" Samuel Ross, though aware of Yusuf Zuck’s capabilities, feared police involvement could be troublesome.
"Hide? He won’t call the cops. If he does, he doesn’t want to stay in the capital anymore and is looking to pick a fight with us. Does he look like someone who has the guts to take us on?" Yusuf Zuck shook his head. To be honest, General Manager Yu, although smart, was just an average city-dweller. Today’s incident, if seen from a bigger perspective, was minor, so a normal person wouldn’t call the police since they didn’t suffer any actual loss, just received a fright.
But if he did call the police, that would be a major issue.
"Of course, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If, by some odd chance, he does call the cops, we need to have a plan in place. But you guys don’t need to run. They’ll come looking for Sara and me first. Through me, they can find you, so as long as I don’t give you up, you’re in the clear."
"True, if the sky falls, there’s a tall man to hold it up. What do I have to fear? Haha!" Samuel Ross laughed. With Yusuf Zuck handling the situation, and Yusuf Zuck unable to betray them, they had nothing to worry about.
While Yusuf Zuck took his brothers out for dinner, General Manager Yu, who had comforted his wife and child, made a call to Lucy Clayton from his study, recounting the evening’s events.
"Hehe, playing tricks in the dark?" Brother Dao sneered before decisively ordering, "Call the police."
"But he will retaliate against me. What about my wife and kids?" General Manager Yu asked anxiously.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen. You know I’ve partnered with friends to develop Antai Estate. I’ve reserved a house for you there. You can move in tomorrow. After you make the police report, I will send someone to take your family of three to a safe place for now."
"But... we..." General Manager Yu still didn’t want to call the police and was about to continue speaking when Brother Dao said something that immediately deflated his resistance.
"Do you want to die?" That was Brother Dao’s question, just four words, but they sent a chill down General Manager Yu’s spine, leaving him no choice but to comply.
He made the police report, and upon receiving his call, the command center at the dispatch quickly referred the case to the local police station!
That evening, Officer Lu was still on duty at Garden Road police station and also received the dispatch order from the command center!
