Chapter 86: Blackmailing Liu Cheng

  With a check for 20 million, Wu Rui left the E City Hotel with a smile, while Wang Lin was left lying on the floor of his room with a swollen face. But that's not all, Wu Rui had also placed an energy curse on him, which would activate every six months; if he didn't come to find Wu Rui to lift it by then, the consequences would be severe.

  In short, Wu Rui said so. As for whether it is true or false, it depends on what Wang Lin thinks. In any case, in the short term, he absolutely dare not lay a hand on Wu Rui, unless he wants to lose his own life.

  About ten minutes later, the bodyguard who had fainted outside finally came to, and rushed into the room at the first moment. He found his master in this miserable state and suddenly became anxious, with cold sweat dripping down, and hastily called an ambulance to send him to the hospital, while also notifying the head of the Wang family and Liu Cheng, the county magistrate of Echeng.

  "Dad, stop wandering around, with so many police officers on guard, I don't believe that kid would dare to come here!" Liu Tianbao, who had bandages wrapped around several parts of his body, grew impatient as he saw Liu Cheng constantly pacing back and forth in the hall. However, thinking of Wu Rui, a hint of resentment flashed across Liu Tianbao's eyes once again.

  "You little scamp, what else can you do besides causing me trouble!" Liu Cheng glared at his only son with a fierce gaze, but still sat down in front of him, pouring himself water.

  Liu Cheng didn't know how Wu Rui broke through the encirclement, he only knew that some armed police still had no idea what was going on and didn't even know that the target was no longer in Shen Nong Clinic. At the same time, he also knew that this Wu Rui played by the rules, if you provoked him, he would directly counterattack, directly ignoring the law, he suspected that Wu Rui simply did not know what the law was, and the treatment of Wang's father and son was the best evidence, no accusation or police report, direct beating, and personal strength was too strong, making these people who were used to manipulating power at a loss.

  In fact, Liu Cheng guessed it right. Wu Rui didn't know much about modern law and wouldn't ask the police for help. He wouldn't even resort to conspiracy or trickery, but would use the most primitive and violent means to seek justice for himself.

  ...was shouted at by Laozi, Liu Tianbao shrunk his head and didn't dare say anything else.

  At this time, Liu Ruoxi, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected: "Dad, I think you're being too much. You actually let the SWAT team point their guns at him. He's just seeking justice now, and that's not unreasonable!"

  "If he didn't resist, Wei Yuan would only take him back to the police station. Is it worth making such a big deal out of this by using knives and guns?" Liu Cheng's discontented cold hum.

  "What then, after taking him to the police station? Will they torture him at will or simply find some murderer to kill him off?" Liu Ruoxi's mouth curled up in a sneer, these tricks, she was all too familiar with.

  "You... humph! Liu Ruoxi, don't forget that you are a member of the Liu family, my daughter!" Liu Cheng's dissatisfied cold hum.

  "Little sister, you're not taken with that young man, are you? Today, you actually helped a stranger speak out one after another!" Liu Tianbao also had an opinion.

  “……Haha!” Liu Ruoxi let out a cold laugh, then turned around and left the hall with an expressionless face. From a young age, she was spoon-fed piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and as she grew older, she began to study business knowledge. At 20 years old, she entered the family group's workforce, starting as the CEO's secretary, quickly rising through the ranks to become vice president, and now has been called upon to take on the role of general manager at a new company in Goose City, with a mayor for a father - such a life trajectory is indeed enviable.

  However, Liu Ruoxi did not feel happy. Instead, she envied the children of ordinary families who at least had freedom and could be happy. Perhaps heaven was fair after all, giving her endless wealth and glory but taking away her freedom and happiness.

  "This girl!" Liu Cheng sighed and shook his head, feeling a little melancholy for a moment. Having possessed power and wealth overnight, could he possibly let go? To maintain it, he had to move forward, no matter what means he used; once he retreated, he would become a mere skeleton.

  "Tsk, tsk, so this is what the life of a noble family is like. It's really enviable!" Wu Rui suddenly walked in from outside, his words were envious but his tone was sarcastic. The emotions of the whole family were all about interests, such a life was really unimaginable. He seemed to have understood what Xu Manli had said before: without wealth and chips, there is no freedom.

  But at the same time, Wu Rui felt a little melancholy. Family? This was an unfamiliar term to him.

  "How did you get in!" Liu Tianbao exclaimed, looking like he had seen a ghost, his face wrapped up like a rice dumpling revealing a terrified expression, not to mention how ridiculous and absurd it looked.

  Liu Cheng suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes fixed intently on Wu Rui, his fists clenched, but his face was somewhat pale. The solid defense had ended in the enemy entering their home turf, how could he not be shocked and enraged? If it were an assassin... Liu Cheng instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

  "Ah, you're here!" Wu Rui shrugged his shoulders with a matter-of-fact expression, then teased Liu Tianbao, who was wrapped in white cloth all over his body: "Liu Gongzi, we meet again! Why are you wrapped up like a rice dumpling? Is it cold or something?"

  It's said that when hitting someone, one should not hit their face, but Wu Rui's words directly slapped him in the face, and it was a loud slap.

  "You..." Liu Tianbao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but thinking of last night's scene, his expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural, and in the end, he just dryly laughed and stuttered: "You... what do you want to do again?"

  "Liu Gongzi asked a good question, I came today to ask your father, Mayor, what do you really want?" Wu Rui turned his gaze to Liu Cheng above, with a slight pursing of the lips.

  Liu Cheng is not a corrupt official, nor is he a good official. This has nothing to do with Wu Rui. It's not his responsibility and he won't be idle enough to care about it. However, unexpectedly, Liu Cheng took revenge on Wu Rui using his position, and even joined forces with Wang Jia to plot against him.

  "I, Liu Cheng, have nothing to say. State your conditions!" Liu Cheng was straightforward and immediately sat down on the chair, directly admitting defeat and compromise. He didn't want to follow in Wang Lin's footsteps - a mayor being beaten up would definitely be tomorrow's headline news.

  "Oh?" Wu Rui didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and suddenly felt uninteresting, because this way he didn't even have a reason to take action.

  With a dismissive curl of his lip, Wu Rui said straightforwardly: "It's very simple. First, withdraw the armed police, then publicly apologize to and clear the name of Shen Nong Clinic, and finally compensate for the clinic's economic losses!"

  "The armed police can withdraw at any time, and I can make the clinic apologize and clear its name tomorrow. As for the economic losses, as a government official, I don't have as much money as Wang Lin. However, my daughter has started a small company, and I can arrange for her to allocate one million yuan. Tomorrow, I will personally deliver the compensation and apology to your esteemed clinic. How does that sound?" Liu Cheng readily agreed to all of it.

  "Wait a minute!" Wu Rui was dissatisfied, shaking his head and saying: "Others, like Wang Lin, can only write checks for 20 million because they are controlled by their wives. But Goose City is Liu Cheng's stronghold, where he has been operating for many years. Although Mayor Liu's account only has a few hundred thousand yuan, according to what I know, the Liu family's assets in Goose City are worth over 1 billion yuan, and they have more than 530 million yuan in cash, all of which can be disposed of by you. Now, you're only compensating 1 million yuan, which is a huge difference compared to the Wang family. Doesn't the Liu family feel ashamed?"

  Liu Cheng's eyes contracted, and the value of the Liu family in E City was not difficult to inquire about. However, the cash account had never been made public, and even his son Liu Tianbao did not know. It was not hard to see this from Liu Tianbao's astonished gaze, but how did Wu Rui know? If Wu Rui said it was 500 million, he might have thought it was an estimate or a guess, but Wu Rui specifically said it was over 530 million, which made Liu Cheng feel uneasy.

  Just recently, Liu Cheng had someone do a count and dozens of accounts were added up together, the total amount was exactly 530 million, which is completely consistent with what Wu Rui said.

  "Haha……" Liu Cheng forced out a smile, not foolish enough to directly ask Wu Rui where the information came from. He dryly laughed and said: "Wu God Doctor indeed has great skills, then I won't play dumb anymore. 200 million, same as the Wang family, how about it?"

  "That's about it." Wu Rui's reluctant acceptance made Liu Cheng's mouth twitch.

  But at this moment, Wu Rui's face suddenly changed slightly, and then he looked towards the gate, leaving Liu's parents bewildered, but soon they saw something, and a smile appeared on their faces.
