Chapter 205: Bait and Switch
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day, Yellow Hair and his gang woke up in an abandoned shack, all of them nursing throbbing headaches.
They had been knocked unconscious by Mei Shu and then thoroughly beaten, leaving them covered in bruises and injuries.
Yellow Hair rubbed his swollen forehead and climbed to his feet from the ground. He kicked a few of his unresponsive companions. “Get up, you idiots. Where is she?!”
His pals finally snapped back to reality, looking around in a daze. One of them scratched his head and said, “Big bro, did we get beaten up by someone?”
Yellow Hair immediately became angry and, in a fit of rage, kicked aside the obstructing shelf. “Of course, you morons! You couldn’t even handle a young girl. What use are you to me?”
“Big bro, don’t be angry,” the others said fearfully. They silently lamented that even Yellow Hair couldn’t defeat a young girl, but they kept on smiling and said, “Big bro, what should we do next? Did we get beaten up for nothing?”
They had been beaten up, and their boss’s mission was left uncompleted. That meant they might not receive their final payment!
And they might even have to cover their own medical expenses!
It would be a complete loss!
Yellow Hair sneered and said, “I won’t do a losing business. Remember, we claimed that we had our way with that girl last night. Tell that to anyone who asks. Otherwise, you won’t see a single cent!”
“I understand, big bro. Whatever you say, we’ll do it,” they quickly reassured him.
Seeing Yellow Hair act this way, he must have figured out a way to get the money. Of course, they wouldn’t want to go against the money.
Making sure that his subordinates wouldn’t spill the beans, Yellow Hair called Wang Yue.
As soon as the call was answered, Wang Yue’s impatient voice came through the receiver. “Yellow Hair, what’s going on? Did you guys succeed? Where’s the video I asked for?”
“Don’t worry, when have I, Yellow Hair, failed? We can send you the video you want, but you need to show us the final payment first. Otherwise, once we send you the video, you might change your mind, right?” Yellow Hair began bargaining with a smirk.
Wang Yue, not feeling at ease, said, “No, if you let me see the video, I’ll immediately transfer the money. You can trust me.”
“Why should we trust you?” Yellow Hair sneered. “We’re doing illegal activities, while you’re not taking any responsibility. If you want the video, send us the final payment first. Otherwise, you won’t get anything!”
“You!” Wang Yue was getting furious and hissed through gritted teeth, “You guys are so untrustworthy! We agreed to a simultaneous exchange of money and goods! Why should I send first?”
Yellow Hair casually lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said, “If you don’t want it, forget it. As long as we don’t talk about last night, that girl can act like nothing happened. But if you want to take action again, it might not be as easy as before.”
His words made Wang Yue uneasy.
The crucial point was not whether there would be another opportunity to harm Mei Shu, but that she had already paid a deposit. If she clashed with Yellow Hair at this moment, it would be a huge loss!
With that in mind, Wang Yue gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, I promise you, but I want to see the video right away. Otherwise, I’ll report you for extortion!”
“Alright, no problem,” Yellow Hair smugly hung up the phone.
His companions, who were standing nearby, were bewildered. After making sure Wang Yue couldn’t hear them, one of them finally asked, “Big bro, we never actually did anything to that girl. How can we give the video to the boss?” “You’re so naive!” Yellow Flair scoffed and patted him on the back. “Don’t we already have this kind of video on hand? Can’t we just replace the woman in the video with that girl’s head?”
“Ah, that’s a clever idea!” The others eagerly nodded and asked, “Big bro, do we need to find someone to help us with this? Is it expensive?”
“Don’t worry, I have a friend who can handle this. It’ll cost some money, but it’s better than getting nothing at all,” Yellow Hair assured them.
Yellow Hair tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and mercilessly crushed it with his foot. “Remember, we took care of that girl right here yesterday. If anyone says the wrong thing or lets me hear any rumors, they can forget about making money with me in the future!”
“Big bro! We promise, from now on, we’ll follow your lead without question! We just want to follow you!” They all reassured him.
This greatly satisfied Yellow Hair’s vanity.
And the frustration from being knocked out by a woman the previous night also dissipated somewhat.
On the other side.
Wang Yue had already transferred the money long ago and had finally received a response from Yellow Hair.
She nervously clicked on the video, and the sharp, struggling screams of a woman rang out from her phone.
She quickly lowered the volume, confirming that the video indeed showed Mei Shu’s face. Her eyes couldn’t hide her delight, and she immediately called Mei Mu.. “Baby, Mommy has gotten evidence against Mei Shu! Don’t worry, Mommy will help you get your revenge soon!”
