Chapter 042 How Much Are You Worth
At this time, since his subordinates had not yet dealt with Xue Ruyun, Zhang Qibing had no choice but to call a woman who often served him, planning to first relieve his urges in this apartment, and then go find Xue Ruyun after receiving news of success, to conquer this exceptional mature beauty beneath him.
After taking a shower, Zhang Qibing walked out of the room wearing a bathrobe and saw that the escort had already removed her outer clothing and was posing seductively on the sofa in sexy lingerie.
Zhang Qibing chuckled, pushing out his fat belly as he opened his bathrobe, standing in front of the escort and saying, “If you please me well tonight, I’ll make it worth your while.”
This escort was already one of his regular clients. Seeing Zhang Qibing speak this way, she stood up with a submissive smile, though when she saw Zhang Qibing’s fat-covered belly, a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in her eyes.
And so, some scenes unsuitable for minors unfolded in this room, though… the imagery truly lacked any aesthetic appeal.
…
“Mr. Zhang is certainly in good spirits.”
At this moment, a mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhang Qibing, scaring him half to death!
What was happening? The doors and windows of the villa were definitely locked, so where did this voice come from?
Zhang Qibing was filled with terror and fear, even forgetting his movements. A certain erect part instantly went completely limp. After such an experience, this guy would probably be traumatized for life, and it’s likely he was already experiencing some functional issues.
“W-w-who are you? Why are you here?”
Zhang Qibing turned his face and saw a man sitting on the sofa behind him, with one leg crossed over the other, looking very casual!
How did this person get in? Without making any sound!
Zhang Qibing was naked now, and even if he wanted to find a kitchen knife or something, he would have to run to the kitchen. This man who had appeared silently clearly had bad intentions!
“What? Just a moment ago you wanted to have people beat me up, and now you’re pretending not to know me? Mr. Zhang, you’re really forgetful. Do you need me to remind you?” Su Rui said mockingly, looking like a cat playing with a mouse.
Su Rui said to the escort, “You, go to the next room and close the door. Don’t come out without my permission.”
“Y-yes, yes, yes…” The escort nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken, then quickly grabbed her clothes and ran to another room, her bare white back exposed to Su Rui, though he had no interest in appreciating such merchandise.
“You’re that man who was with Xue Ruyun!” Zhang Qibing finally recognized him. Su Rui was the “pretty boy” he had referred to.
“That’s right.” Su Rui clapped his hands, “Mr. Zhang, since I’m sitting here, it means all your men have been disabled by me. Let’s have a good talk about tonight’s events, shall we?”
“All my men were disabled by you? What do you want to talk about?” Zhang Qibing was filled with endless terror. He knew that since the men he sent had failed, Su Rui was definitely not someone to be trifled with. He had really misjudged him!
“Don’t be afraid, Mr. Zhang. A real man takes responsibility for his actions. Since you did it, don’t be afraid to admit it. Let’s talk about the price.” Su Rui sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and said, “Since you dared to have others cripple me, you should be prepared for someone to come back and cripple you.”
“W-w-what exactly do you want?” Seeing Su Rui so calm, Zhang Qibing, covering his private parts with the bathrobe, felt even more that this man was fearless, and his terror grew exponentially.
“I told you, let’s talk about the price. Mr. Zhang, how much do you think you’re worth?”
“How much am I worth? What do you mean?” Zhang Qibing was trembling with fear.
“Actually, my meaning is very simple. How much money do you think you can pay to buy your life?”
Hearing Su Rui’s words, Zhang Qibing’s body went limp, completely drained of strength!
Paying money to buy his own life? What was this guy planning to do? Was he going to kill him?
“Let’s do this: I’ll set a price, and if you think it’s reasonable, you agree. If not, we can discuss further. How about that?” Su Rui said, rolling his eyes.
“C-c-can’t you speak more clearly? I really don’t understand what you’re saying!” Zhang Qibing’s voice was trembling.
“Then let me be more detailed. How much do you think your hand is worth? Left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot, kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, head, ears, nose, eyes, and so on. I need you to put a price on all of these.” Su Rui said with a serious face.
“Don’t do anything rash! This is a society governed by law. If you try anything, I-I-I-I’ll call the police!”
Su Rui sneered, “Do you think I would dare to sit here if I was afraid of you calling the police? And even if the police came, you stingy fellow would already be cut into pieces by me. I really don’t understand why you’re still holding onto your money when you’re in this situation. You’re about to lose your life!”
“Or to put it more gently, you’re about to become disabled without your limbs!”
Su Rui pulled out a knife from somewhere, gleaming brightly, looking extremely terrifying under the light.
The naked Zhang Qibing saw the knife and felt an even greater chill between his legs. No, not just there—his entire body felt ice-cold.
Su Rui sat upright with a righteous expression, crossing his hands on his knees, and said solemnly, “I like to create opportunities for mutual benefit in a fair, just, and open manner. Let’s do this: I won’t ask for too much. Do you think your left hand is worth five hundred thousand? If so, transfer this money to my card. If you don’t think it’s worth that, then I’ll cut off your left hand and flush it down the toilet.”
“Or if you think flushing it down the toilet is disgusting, I can throw your left hand out to feed the dogs.” Su Rui’s face was smiling, and his tone carried a mocking laugh, but to Zhang Qibing’s ears, it was all coldness!
“Five hundred thousand? That’s too much!” Zhang Qibing stared at the knife in Su Rui’s hand, trembling.
His total assets were only about a hundred million, and one left hand would cost five hundred thousand. What about all those other parts—nose, eyes, ears, liver, kidneys, heart? He probably wouldn’t have enough even if he spent several hundred million!
“Actually, doing business is very simple. It’s a willing buyer and a willing seller. Mr. Zhang, you surely understand such a simple principle. What do you think?” Watching the knife turning back and forth in Su Rui’s hand, flashing with cold light, Zhang Qibing truly felt his legs go weak. He was terrified that this man who meant what he said would cut off his left hand, which would be terrible.
“Don’t hesitate anymore. They’re all organs from your own body. What’s there to be reluctant about spending money on? Besides, I’m not a very patient person.” As Su Rui spoke, he delivered a backhand slap that knocked the fat Zhang Qibing onto the sofa! Five bloody fingerprints appeared bright red on his face!
With this blow, Zhang Qibing felt his head go numb, as if it had been torn apart. Half of his body seemed to go numb.
Use fists for skinny people, use slaps for fat people!
“I very much hope our cooperation can proceed in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, but you keep testing my patience. This is just a tiny lesson for you. I promise, if you hesitate again, the next thing hitting you won’t be my hand, but this knife!” As he spoke, Su Rui’s fingers turned, and the knife in his hand, like a fully drawn bow, stabbed straight into the coffee table, leaving only the handle outside!
Seeing this, Zhang Qibing was truly frightened. How fast the knife must have been and how much strength it must have taken! This was genuine redwood furniture, yet the knife cut through it like tofu!
Now, Zhang Qibing had no doubt that the mocking man before him could easily cut off his hand! He definitely wasn’t just intimidating him—he would absolutely do what he said!
“I really don’t like hearing people talk nonsense!” Su Rui frowned and said, “Five hundred thousand for one hand, what do you think?”
Although he felt it was really expensive, to protect the parts of his body, Zhang Qibing painfully agreed, “Fine, five hundred thousand it is, as long as you don’t cut off my hand.”
“Good, we’ve agreed on that price. Now for the right hand: seven hundred thousand, non-negotiable.” Su Rui continued sitting with his legs crossed.
Zhang Qibing was almost in tears: “What’s going on? Wasn’t the left hand five hundred thousand? Why has the right hand increased by two hundred thousand?”
Su Rui said, “I’m not in too bad a mood today, so I’ll explain. First, I have the pricing power over you. Whatever I say goes, and you should be grateful I didn’t price your right hand astronomically. Seven hundred thousand should still be affordable for you, right? Second, you’re right-handed. Your right hand is more dexterous and more important than your left, so naturally it’s worth more. Don’t you think your right hand has provided enough labor over the years to be worth an extra two hundred thousand?”
“No, no, you’re fleecing me.” Zhang Qibing really didn’t want to agree. This was money he had earned through hard work, and now he was giving away one million two hundred thousand for just two hands. This was easier than robbing a bank!
“Slap!”
Another crisp sound as Su Rui delivered another backhand slap without hesitation, clean and decisive! He had had enough talk with this Zhang Qibing. Sometimes physical language is more persuasive!
Zhang Qibing’s cheek, which had already been hit once, was struck again. Blood marks on top of blood marks, bright red. His entire face looked as if it had been pressed with a hot iron, a pitiful sight!
