Chapter 481: Chapter 0481: Home Invasion Robbery

"You..."

Upon hearing these words, Liu Gaoze’s face underwent a drastic change, and he trembled with rage, yet he was utterly powerless to do anything about it. He wondered why there was such a big difference between Wu Tie, who was also sent by the higher-ups, and this Wu Yong?

Wu Tie was as firm and upright as iron, full of righteous vigor, whereas this Wu Yong before him was a picture of evil, lowliness, and shamelessness.

"How much money are you expecting?"

Liu Gaoze begrudgingly held back.

"Not too much! Considering the size of your family’s business, just give me three hundred thousand a month."

Wu Yong yawned. His salary from above was only twenty or thirty thousand a month, and if he didn’t find ways to make some extra money, that wouldn’t even be enough for his flings with young girls.

"Three hundred thousand? Are you robbing me?"

Liu Gaoze shouted angrily. It had only cost fifty thousand a month to hire Tang Ming, yet this ancestor was demanding three hundred thousand. It was an outrage.

"I am a Three-star Peak martial master; three hundred thousand a month is actually quite low."

Wu Yong said proudly, curling his lip. "If you wanted to hire a martial master as a bodyguard from outside the organization, you’d likely have to shell out three million!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Gaoze furrowed his brows. After some thought, he realized that hiring a martial master to protect a Martial Arts Family was indeed not expensive.

"There’s no need to consider it. Since the organization has assigned me here, you’ll have to agree whether you like it or not."

Wu Yong looked at Liu Gaoze domineeringly, with the attitude of someone who was openly extorting.

The expression on Liu Gaoze’s face fluctuated. He didn’t care about the three hundred thousand, but he deeply doubted Wu Yong’s character. The thought of allowing such a person to stay close to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli made him exceedingly uneasy.

"You can’t go in; the Chairman is hosting guests, you can’t go in!"

As Liu Gaoze was considering his options, a clamor suddenly arose from outside the door.

Soon after, Liu Gaoze’s secretary was pushed into the office, face stricken with terror, trying to stop someone from barging into the office.

"What’s going on?"

Liu Gaoze looked towards the door with bewilderment.

He saw a middle-aged man nearly two meters tall, dressed in a black leather jacket, bursting into the office led by Qin Aotian.

"Xiaoxue, don’t stop them!"

Upon seeing Qin Aotian, Liu Gaoze immediately instructed Xiaoxue to step aside; these were no ordinary people.

"Chairman Liu, it’s been a few days, and here we meet again!" Qin Aotian greeted Liu Gaoze with a smile on his face.

"What are you here for now?" Liu Gaoze asked suspiciously, glancing at Wu Yong, only to see him resting with his eyes closed, totally indifferent.

"This time it’s not me looking for you, but Mr. Jin Gang here." Qin Aotian was aware of Liu Gaoze’s background, so his tone was not as forceful.

"Jin Gang?"

Liu Gaoze was slightly startled and looked over the man carefully. Indeed, he did resemble a large gorilla.

"Are you Liu Gaoze?"

As Liu Gaoze scrutinized Jin Gang, Jin Gang likewise sized up Liu Gaoze.

"I am Liu Gaoze. May I inquire as to why this gentleman has sought me out?"

Liu Gaoze asked, rising to his feet with a puzzled expression.

"Let’s skip the small talk, I’m here to have you withdraw the charges against my young master," Jin Gang stated bluntly.

"And who might your young master be?" Liu Gaoze asked, furrowing his brows in confusion.

"My young master’s Chinese name is Yang Wei, and his English name is Jack, the very person who kidnapped your daughter,"

Jin Gang said without any intention of avoiding the topic.

Jin Gang was a Four-star Martial Master sent by the Yang Family and had just arrived in Songlan City today.

After his arrival, he was unable to contact Jack, so following the guidance of the Yang Family Head, he sought out the Qin Family.

Upon hearing that Jin Gang was a Four-star Martial Artist from the Yang Family, Qin Aotian did not dare to treat him with the slightest disrespect and received him with the highest courtesy.

From Qin Aotian’s mouth, Jin Gang learned that Jack had already been captured by the police, which infuriated him, and he was about to storm the police station to rescue Jack.

Seeing his determination, Qin Aotian hurriedly stopped Jin Gang. Even a Four-star Martial Master daring to directly confront the local police would not have an easy time. Even if he could rescue the person, it would inevitably lead to a manhunt by the official special departments, and he could very well be eliminated outright.

After some persuasion and explanation, Qin Aotian told Jin Gang that to safely rescue Jack without incurring responsibility, there was only one way: to have the plaintiff withdraw the charges. In other words, to have Liu Gaoze go to the police and say Jack was not a kidnapper and not to pursue the matter further. Then the police would have no right to arrest Jack. After all, for the Yang Family, hiring a lawyer to destroy the evidence was easy-peasy. Without a witness, the criminal facts would be very hard to confirm.

So, Qin Aotian brought Jin Gang to negotiate with Liu Gaoze.

"So you’ve come as a mediator!"

Once clear about Jin Gang’s intention, Liu Gaoze’s face turned cold.

Although it was not he who had apprehended Jack, capturing the man who had kidnapped Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli pleased Liu Gaoze immensely, especially considering that Tang Ming’s life or death remained uncertain, all owing to Jack’s actions. He was even more eager for Jack to be brought to justice and face legal punishment.

"I’m not some mediator, but rather someone telling you that you must go and make things clear to the police."

Jin Gang snorted coldly and spoke in an unquestionable tone: "If my young master can’t be released, then your Liu Family better prepare to be annihilated."

"Heh, Jack’s kidnapping, extortion, and deliberate murder are all criminal facts as solid as a mountain. Now that he’s fallen into the law’s net, it’s his own fault. What right do you have to ask me to save him?"

Liu Gaoze sneered, looking at Jin Gang calmly as he asked.

"Because I can kill you and your daughter," Jin Gang said with narrowed eyes and a mocking smile.

"I know you’re a member of the Dark Group, but I have many ways to silently exterminate your Liu Family, so you’d best think it through."

"Ha ha, this is Huaxia, and you blatantly threaten me in broad daylight? Ridiculous!"

Liu Gaoze began to laugh strangely, pointing at Wu Yong, he said: "This is the bodyguard that my Liu Family just hired. If you want to kill me, I’m afraid he won’t agree."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong’s eyes opened in displeasure. He had intended not to take action until Liu Gaoze had given a firm response. He hadn’t expected Liu Gaoze to drag him into this now, leaving him no choice but to act.

"Raise my pay," Wu Yong said as he stood up, his voice harsh. He thought to himself that since Liu Gaoze had made him act without agreement, he would definitely have to make him raise the pay later, asking for at least half a million to continue his protection. Moreover, Liu Gaoze’s secretary wasn’t bad either, he deserved to have her for a few days.

"You’re a bodyguard for the Liu Family?"

Jin Gang looked at Wu Yong with confusion. No wonder Liu Gaoze was so bold; it turned out he had backup.

Qin Aotian also sized up Wu Yong, wondering to himself. He hadn’t seen this bodyguard before his visit; perhaps he, too, had just arrived?
