Chapter 160: 【160】A large scale weighing gold and silver_1

Zhou Bingrui stared intently at the man with gold-rimmed glasses as if trying to see through to his very soul.

The man with glasses was so frightened that his lips trembled, and he dared not make a sound.

Just then, Tang Feng suddenly tugged at Zhou Bingrui’s sleeve, “Mr. Rui, he probably has nothing to do with this matter; he must have been misled by Fang Ziqiang.”

“Yes, yes, that’s it, I was just misled by that old thing, Mr. Rui, we’ve been friends for so many years, don’t you believe me?” the man with glasses nodded eagerly.

Only then did Zhou Bingrui’s face soften slightly, “It had better be so.”

Having said that, he turned and walked towards Fang Ziqiang.

The man with glasses wiped sweat from his brow and looked gratefully at Tang Feng, “Brother Tang, I really can’t thank you enough just now.”

“My name is Xi Shijing, and if there’s anything you need help with in the future, just let me know.”

Tang Feng simply nodded without showing any intention of getting chummy with him.

He had only spoken up for the man after a system scan showed he was unaware of the situation; it wasn’t his intention to deliberately bestow a favor.

At that moment, Zhou Bingrui could be seen carrying a basketball-sized raw stone from the courtyard towards Fang Ziqiang.

Those who were beating Fang Ziqiang stepped aside to make way for him.

Zhou Bingrui walked ominously straight to Fang Ziqiang.

By this time, Fang Ziqiang had been beaten to a pulp, his face and body covered with blood, looking extremely distressed.

“Old thing, you dare to deceive even me? Well, I will let you understand what happens when you deceive Zhou Bingrui,” Zhou Bingrui finished speaking and slammed the raw stone down heavily.

With a “crack,” Fang Ziqiang’s thigh was smashed, a comminuted fracture.

Everyone felt their scalp tingle at this cruel method and were frightened by it.

Even Tang Feng, Song Lele, and Xu Xinling felt a wave of trepidation.

Fang Ziqiang’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

Zhou Bingrui had a basin of cold water brought over and splashed it on Fang Ziqiang’s face.

When Fang Ziqiang woke up again, his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Zhou Bingrui.

“Mr. Rui, spare my life, I… I won’t dare anymore…”

“Won’t dare anymore? What the hell were you doing earlier? Now you know you won’t dare? It’s too late!”

Zhou Bingrui once again lifted the stone, ready to smash his other leg.

“Mr. Rui, I’ll give back all the money, please just spare my life… ”

Fang Ziqiang’s cries were very pitiful, and if another stone were to come down, he’d likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Zhou Bingrui halted his action and stared coldly at him, “Returning the money is enough? What about our emotional distress?”

“I’ll compensate, I’ll compensate, I’ll give you all my money, just please spare my life.” Fang Ziqiang was desperate to save his own life and could no longer care about anything else.

Zhou Bingrui then put down the stone and stepped on it, “What are you waiting for? Compensate us.”

“Yes, yes…”

Fang Ziqiang did not dare to delay, hastily calling over the trembling accountant hiding in the corner to refund everyone the money they had spent on the raw stones.

He then emptied his own account, compensating everyone present according to their share.

And everyone got a piece.

Of course, those who participated in the stone gambling were compensated a bit more, while those who didn’t participate received less.

Even Tang Feng, Song Lele, and Xu Xinling each received a compensation of one hundred thousand yuan.

The three of them couldn’t help but exchange wry smiles.

They came and did nothing, yet they got a compensation for free.

Why do I feel like this is like the Liangshan heroes dividing up silver and gold with a great scale?

“Call the Public Affairs Hall and report someone for fraud,” Zhou Bingrui instructed those around him after he received the compensation. Then he turned and walked over to Tang Feng.

“Feng, I really owe you one this time. Otherwise, your Mr. Rui here would have been played for a fool,” he said, sounding very sincere.

Although he had previously called Tang Feng a brother as a courtesy, it was more of a formality.

But at this moment, his attitude was much more genuine.

It was clear he was starting to form a true friendship.

“I just stumbled upon the problem by mistake,” Tang Feng said modestly, waving his hand.

“That old guy just compensated me with some money, and I thought his money was dirty. Give me your card number, and I’ll transfer it to you,” Zhou Bingrui, who was very generous to friends, especially those who helped him save face, was naturally not stingy.

“Mr. Rui, there’s no need to stand on ceremony with me,” Tang Feng said, even though he said this, he still conscientiously took out his phone and sent Zhou his account number.

Zhou Bingrui didn’t say much, and quickly finished the operation.

When Tang Feng received the bank SMS notification that 13.5 million had been credited to his account, his eyes widened in shock, “This much?”

Zhou Bingrui smiled nonchalantly, “I spent over four million today, and he compensated me threefold.”

“Mr. Rui, this is too much, I really can’t accept it,” Tang Feng initially thought it was just a few hundred thousand, not expecting it to be over ten million, which made the money feel like a hot potato.

“Keep it. I called you here today because I wanted to bring you along for a profitable venture, but it almost backfired on you as well. I can’t let you have come for nothing.”

“But…”

Tang Feng still wanted to say more.

Zhou Bingrui was already getting a bit unhappy, “If you keep talking nonsense, you’re not treating me as a friend.”

Since Zhou had put it that way, Tang Feng had no choice but to accept the money with peace of mind.

Song Lele and Xu Xinling exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment in each other’s eyes.

Tang Feng sure was a generous friend.

Over ten million, just given away like that.

I’ll take a dozen friends like that, please.

They were also secretly in awe of Tang Feng’s personal charm.

Zhou Bingrui was rich, but why didn’t he give it to someone else and instead specifically gave it to Ye Feng?

It could only prove that this friend was worth getting close to.

“Boss, just look at how generous Mr. Rui is with friends. I think you should really learn from him,” Xu Xinling implied something in her teasing to Tang Feng.

Song Lele also nodded in agreement, “Yeah, that’s right. Compared to him, someone is far too tight-fisted with friends.”

Tang Feng clutched his pocket tightly, “I’m broke. Compared to rich folks like you, I’m just a poor ghost, still waiting for your charity.”

Song Lele and Xu Xinling couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

This guy just got over ten million for nothing and was still unwilling to spend a dime.

I’ve never seen such a miserly man!
