Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Don’t Leave After School (26)

“Sister, sister, we were wrong.”

“We failed to recognize a great person when we saw one and offended you. We truly made a mistake, please have mercy on us.”

Sitting on a box, Chuzheng looked at them with an icy stare, “Weren’t you quite comfortable insulting me just now? Do it again.”

“No, no.”

“I’m a bitch, I’m a bitch.”

The leaders of the two groups were singing in chorus with surprising harmony.

“Shut up.” Chuzheng was getting irritated, “Who sent you?”

So many against one little girl? Have you no shame?

The leader of the Black Night gang glanced at his neighbor—You go first.

The leader of the Tianshan Duxiu gang glared back—How about you go first?

Chuzheng kicked the closer leader of the Tianshan Duxiu gang.

He let out a cry of pain, “Sister, we follow the rules of the streets and have our own code of honor. We would never betray our friends.”

Those who live by the street code honor it above all, and never betray their friends.

Chuzheng took out a stack of money and placed it in front of her.

The expression of the leader of the Tianshan Duxiu gang changed instantly, speaking with righteous indignation, “Sister, I’m not that kind of person. How could I abandon my principles for money! But a cute girl like you, how could I allow you to be treated so unfairly, my conscience can’t stand it—It was Xu Shenghui who sent us!”

Xu Shenghui had been beaten up by Chuzheng before and had stayed in the hospital for several days.

Chuzheng hadn’t returned home, and the Xu Family had no idea where she lived, so Xu Shenghui had sent people to block her at the school.

The leader of the Black Night gang rolled his eyes in contempt.

“You.”

Chuzheng gave the leader of the Black Night gang a nudge with her foot.

“I won’t tell, even if you kill me…” The leader’s gaze followed Chuzheng’s hand and he swallowed hard, “It was Master Jih who sent us.”

The leader of the Tianshan Duxiu gang counted the money while rolling his eyes, “Heh, don’t tell it then.”

You even dared to roll your eyes at me before.

What street honor compared to cold hard cash?

They only came for the money in the first place.

Catching the prey would be one thing, but not only did they fail to catch her, they ended up being caught by her.

Of course, they’d take the chance to make some money now.

They weren’t good people to begin with, anyways.

“Sister, can we go now?” The leaders of both gangs asked cautiously.

Chuzheng lifted her chin, indicating they could leave.

The two quickly left with their respective gangs and went their separate ways on the road.

However, it didn’t take long for the two of them to run into each other at the police station.

They were accused of highway robbery, and both were carrying a large amount of cash. Already having criminal records, even if the accusation was false, the group found themselves in a difficult position.

It’s not like they could say they intended to teach someone a lesson but ended up being given money by the intended victim instead, right?

Who would believe such a story?

But they couldn’t explain the source of the money…

–

Jih Family.

Jih Bo lay in bed, thinking that by now, that meddlesome woman should have been dealt with, and his mood lifted.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The phone vibrated. Jih Bo did a fish flop and grabbed the phone from the table.

He was slightly disappointed to find that it wasn’t a call from the person he was expecting.

“What is it? I already said I’m not going out today. You guys have fun without me…”

Jih Bo answered the phone in annoyance.

“Master Jih, you need to check Weibo,” the person on the other end interrupted urgently. “There’s trouble!”

Trouble?

What kind of trouble?

Jih Bo, a bit perplexed, hung up the phone and opened Weibo.

When he entered, he had difficulty a few times, and Jih Bo found that the messages tagging him were blowing up like crazy.

A sense of unease suddenly rose in Jih Bo’s heart.

He clicked on the mentions, and they were all full of insults.

Jih Bo was baffled. He hadn’t done anything recently. Why were these people suddenly cursing him?

But soon, Jih Bo saw the source of it all.

It was a video.

The content of the video was deeply etched in Jih Bo’s memory.

The video started with a shot of Jih Bo’s own face, so people quickly dug it up.

[Tianshan Duxiu: A rich second-generation kills someone and gets away without as much as a scratch, is there no law left?]

[Gossip Zuzu: According to reliable sources, the victim’s family was forced not to sue, claims of settling privately are all coerced.]

[Your Grandpa Offline: Wow, this is explosive. Isn’t this Jih Bo from the Jih Family? Wasn’t a good person before…]

[I Have a Little Heart: These days, if you have money you’re the boss, kill a person, pay some money, and it’s all settled.]

[Black Night: Seems like the person above knows a lot.]

[Your Grandpa Offline: Not much, not much, just a bit. I used to go to the same school as Jih Bo. He relied on his family’s wealth to do a lot of bad things, once almost beat a person to death. In the end, that person transferred and he got off scot-free.]

Jih Bo’s expression twisted as he read the comments.

How long has it been since that incident?

Why was it being dug up again?

Where did the video come from?

He had certainly deleted it back then…

“Jih Bo, Jih Bo!”

A deep, angry voice came from outside the door, and the man barged in, slapping Jih Bo across the face.

Jih Bo was stunned by the slap.

“Dad, why are you hitting me, what’s the use of hitting me?”

He bellowed.

Father Jih’s face was livid: “What did I tell you back then? Delete it completely, why did you keep this thing!”

“I deleted it!” He remembered very well that he had deleted it!

“How could it appear online if you deleted it? Or are you saying that video wasn’t recorded by you?” Father Jih was furious.

Anyone who saw it would assume the video was recorded by Jih Bo himself.

This was a scandal for the Jih Family, which would affect not only their stock, but his standing in the company as well.

“I really don’t know.” Jih Bo grabbed his hair: “Dad, have someone suppress the news quickly.”

Father Jih also knew that this was not the time to reprimand him and called to have it taken care of.

“Who have you offended?” The video had just been released and was quickly reposted by several influential big Vs, causing quite a stir—this was no coincidence, it was someone pushing it from behind.

“I don’t know…” he had been so well-behaved recently, where could he have offended someone?

“Are you sure you deleted the video?”

“I really deleted it, Dad, why don’t you believe me.” He wouldn’t dare to keep such evidence.

Father Jih calmly analyzed it for him.

If he truly had deleted the video, then someone must have saved it before he did so.

But Father Jih couldn’t understand why someone would wait a whole year before releasing the video.

The company hadn’t been through anything particularly big recently…

“It was Jih Cheng who took the blame for that incident at the time, so let’s say it was Jih Cheng, say that it was switched halfway through.”

“Jih Cheng…” Father Jih frowned: “Have you seen him recently?”

Jih Bo, recalling a past incident, was a bit hesitant.

“You saw him? What happened between you two??” Father Jih pressed.

Jih Cheng was probably the person who knew the details of that incident best, and if it was him who tampered with something…

Without a choice, Jih Bo could only tell Father Jih about what had happened before, including Chuzheng hitting him.

“You’re saying you still have skeletons in someone else’s closet?”

Jih Bo nodded.

Father Jih suppressed his rage; how had he raised such a worthless son.
