âHe⦠Heâs just a good person!â Guo Xiaâs face turned red, and she finally blurted out, âBoss Zhou is a good person.â
There indeed are good people in this world, but people like Boss Zhou, who arbitrarily smear others on the internet, are definitely not among them.
âSince heâs a good person, let him come out and face us. Otherwise, I wonât acknowledge him as a good person,â Tan Rou said resolutely, âIf you can prove he really has no other motives, I might consider giving you some money.â
Guo Xiaâs eyes immediately lit up, âReally?â
Tan Rou smiled and said, âOf course.â She took out several red bills from her wallet, âYou can have a look. Iâm not a swindler, if you call him over, this money is yours.â
Guo Xia stared closely at the money, about 1,000 dollars, âOkay, Iâll call him right now.â
Liang Lu tugged on Tan Rouâs sleeve, signaling not to give them money, but Tan Rou shook her head gently and whispered, âDonât worry, I wonât give them a penny. Right now, I need her help to find Boss Zhou, and when he gets here, weâll just call the police and have them arrested.â
Liang Lu asked worriedly, âWill the police take care of this matter?â
Tan Rou swayed her cell phone, âIâve already recorded our conversation. Anyway, Guo Xia and Liang Guoâs blackmailing is real; the police can arrest them. Even if Boss Zhou doesnât show up, the police wonât be making a trip for nothing.â
Liang Lu gave Tan Rou a thumbs-up, âYou are more careful than me. If it were me, I definitely wouldnât have⦠â
âBoss Zhou, how could you do this to us?â Guo Xiaâs voice interrupted Liang Lu; she and Tan Rou looked towards Guo Xia, who was angrily standing with her hands on her hips, âYou said you would help us, and now when I need you, how can you not come?â
It was unclear what the person on the other end had said, but Guo Xia began cursing in her local dialect. Although Tan Rou couldnât understand, she knew from Guo Xiaâs gestures that the negotiation with Boss Zhou was not going well.
Liang Lu briefly translated Guo Xiaâs words for Tan Rou, âSheâs calling Boss Zhou a bastard, saying he lured them here and then abandoned them. When she finds Boss Zhou, sheâll twist his head off and kick it like a ball. There are also some other words that are too foul to translate.â
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows, admiringly commented, âThat old lady, despite her small stature, has quite the lung capacity. Sheâs been cursing for so long without needing to rest, which shows she is in excellent health, without a single ailment.â
Liang Lu said, âThe old man next to her also looks pretty well, clearly not sick at all.â
While they were arguing on the other side, Tan Rou didnât want to listen to them bicker, so she looked down to send a message.
Liang Lu asked her whom she was messaging, and Tan Rou said she was sending a message to Zhuang Liu. Zhuang Liuâs people were already waiting at the hospital entrance, and if Boss Zhou dared to come, he wouldnât be able to leave here easily today.
Boss Zhou probably already knew about the situation here and likely wouldnât be coming back today, and maybe, wouldnât show up again in the future.
Tan Rou couldnât just wait here for Boss Zhou to arrive. Now that she knew his surname, she just needed to think about people who recently had issues with Liang Lu, and by elimination, they could find the person. Although it might be a bit troublesome, as long as they had enough people arranged, they could definitely find Boss Zhou.
âHello, hello?â Guo Xia shouted into the phone, âBoss Zhou, can you hear me?â
Liang Guo asked from the side, âWhatâs going on? What did Boss Zhou say?â
Guo Xia replied irritably, âHeâs not coming, he told us to sort it out ourselves!â
Liang Guo scratched his head, âHow are we going to sort it out?â
Tan Rou interjected, âIâll help you sort it out.â
Guo Xia and Liang Guo both looked at Tan Rou, âHow will you sort it out?â
Tan Rou smiled and said, âJust one â110â will do the trick.â
Guo Xia and Liang Guo still hadnât caught on, âWhat â110â?â
Tan Rou didnât say anything, just waited. Before long, two police officers pushed the door open and entered.
âWe received a report that there are people here suspected of extortion.â The male police officer asked, âWho are Liang Lu, Liang Guo, and Guo Xia?â
Liang Lu, having been informed by Tan Rou about calling the police, naturally stepped forward, âIâm Liang Lu.â
