Chapter 54 Who is the fool among them?
Unable to do that, he could only work on his appearance, changing his smile to a radiant grin, his pearly white teeth peeking out from between his thin lips: "If Miss Mu trusts me..."
"You can return our belongings first. I can write a guarantee that once the financial crisis is over, I will personally present you with 26 billion!"
Long Yuan lowered his head and dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves, a mocking smile on his face. If Mu Yunya agreed to give him everything, he would naturally remind her that this deal was not feasible.
Once these people go back, they will never admit their mistake, and Mu Yunya has no way to deal with them.
If she appeals, she might end up in jail herself, since the kidnapping charge could easily be proven.
The surveillance footage recorded earlier is the best evidence.
Who will keep their promise to the kidnappers?
They had just promised him that as long as he didn't cause trouble, they would get his watch back as well.
Fortunately, Mu Zhen had obtained their information in advance, otherwise he would have really been defeated by that bastard Fu Tingyu today.
Tsk tsk, the expression on this kid's face is really deceiving. With my IQ, I'd be playing him to death and still be saving ghost money for him in the underworld!
“Brother Yu, I’m a man of my word. Once I say something, it’s a promise I can’t keep. What’s meant to be will be.”
Huangfu Zique said irritably, "Do you really have to have some kind of collateral? Then we'll find something else when we get back..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Mu Zhen quickly resorted to his sophistry: "What do you mean by collateral? These are tokens given to me by my brothers." He tightly clutched the pile of treasures hidden in his pocket.
Don't even think about trying to fool him with some worthless trinket. Even if it were valuable, it wouldn't work. He's illiterate; how would he know anything about appraising antiques? What if you bring him a fake? He wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Nothing is as secure as what you have in your hands anyway.
In a critical moment, they might even be able to save lives.
Absolutely no replacement.
"But their value is far more than 20 billion. How do we know you won't resell them to someone else?" Mu Yunfei looked over lazily.
“Afei is right.” Di Tianhuang’s brows relaxed, his eyes clear and his face full of goodwill. “Miss Mu, there’s no point in us continuing this argument.”
We had agreed that once Luo Luo arrived, we would borrow money from her to redeem her from you, and you even agreed.
Otherwise, we would never have used them as a wager, because these things cannot be brought ashore by anyone other than us.
However, the financial crisis is now a factor beyond our control. Legally, we both need to bear half the responsibility. Do you agree with this statement?
Mu Zhen was completely bewildered by their actions; he had indeed heard of events involving uncontrollable factors.
If there are natural disasters or man-made calamities, and there are certain interests involved, then you can only accept your bad luck when you encounter them.
Emperor Tianhuang did not miss the fleeting struggle on the woman's face. His handsome eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, and he recalled her understanding of 'playing the lute to a cow' that day...
This woman seems a bit strange.
But for them now, this is a great thing, so they continued their deception: "Since we both have to bear half the responsibility..."
Miss Mu, what do you think of my solution? You said it's a token of love, well then, I can feel at ease for your sake.
"You should also give us a few valuable 'tokens' for safekeeping, Miss Mu. This is the only way to force us to back down."
The unspoken implication is that if you can't produce anything, they will definitely force you to exchange the treasure for an IOU.
Mu Zhen looked at the others.
Long Yuan nodded solemnly in agreement: "He's right!"
“That makes sense!” Mu Yunfei, unusually, stopped glancing at people and nodded slightly to Mu Zhen.
Mu Zhen didn't understand overly complex laws, but he understood the truth of protecting one's property at all costs, and he pointed to everyone in strong agreement: "You're right."
Actually, I've already prepared a great gift for you, its value far exceeding your imagination, enough to serve as a token of exchange. Just wait!
After saying that, the person rushed out in a flurry.
The four of them stared at Mu Yunfei. Fu Tingyu said in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't you say she was penniless?"
Mu Yunfei leaned back lazily, a wicked glint in his handsome face, and said unhurriedly, "This matter is absolutely genuine; she cannot produce the real treasure."
As the name suggests, even if it exists, it's fake.
"Ha!" Fu Tingyu, the most skilled appraiser of antiques, scoffed: "Then we'll have to teach her a lesson later!"
Trying to pass off a fake as real in front of them is simply a pipe dream.
The five men, who were prepared to rely on their experience and knowledge to thoroughly defeat their opponents, looked suspiciously at the five sticks in the woman's hand...
If their vision and understanding are correct, then it should look like five rockets.
Huangfu Zique sarcastically remarked, "Hehe, Miss Mu, don't tell us this is the token you're going to exchange with us!"
Mu Zhen raised five sky-piercing cannons, his expression impassioned and his face filled with pride: "That's right, one arrow piercing the clouds, and a thousand armies will come to meet us."
Come on, don't be shy, one for each of you, take it! Hey! Take it, why are you being so polite with me?
Fu Tingyu's smile began to crumble inch by inch as the other party kept sending him more and more firecrackers.
The others were all pretty much the same, with constipated expressions.
They fooled her like she was a fool, and she fooled them like they were complete idiots.
"Pfft, hehe." Long Yuan burst out laughing, especially after seeing the woman's serious expression, his mouth stretched even wider.
No one knew that he was actually someone who had a very low threshold for laughter. As a child, he would often be made to laugh out loud, and he was often beaten for it.
Because the Long family doesn't need a head of the family who isn't serious.
Therefore, he rarely greeted people with a smile from a young age, always maintaining a solemn and serious demeanor. Even when he did smile, he had to keep it within limits.
Instead of repeatedly losing control like recently, which is truly disrespectful.
This woman can be quite amusing at times.
Fu Tingyu thought to himself, "Who's being polite to you?" He suppressed his smile, his lips moved, and after several hesitations, he had no choice but to take the 'skyrocket'.
If I don't answer soon, it'll be shoved right in his face.
Others didn't take it seriously, but Mu Yunfei wasn't so convinced, because he was the only one among them who had thoroughly investigated Mu Yunya.
The investigation revealed that this person is selfish, jealous, narrow-minded, arrogant, and unscrupulous; he is an extremely self-serving individual.
Aside from having some talent in academic performance, he was terribly bad at singing and dancing.
Besides that, he only goes along with a bunch of sycophants in school to bully the weak.
He had no special skills, let alone martial arts that required great perseverance to master.
She used to not even bother picking up a bundle of money that fell on the floor, let alone cooking. Now, she has cooked no less than two hundred dishes.
