Chapter 1200: Boss Zhou will not come at 1199.
There indeed are good people in this world, but people like Boss Zhou, who arbitrarily smear others on the internet, are definitely not among them.
“Since he’s a good person, let him come out and face us. Otherwise, I won’t acknowledge him as a good person,” Tan Rou said resolutely, “If you can prove he really has no other motives, I might consider giving you some money.”
Guo Xia’s eyes immediately lit up, “Really?”
Tan Rou smiled and said, “Of course.” She took out several red bills from her wallet, “You can have a look. I’m not a swindler, if you call him over, this money is yours.”
Guo Xia stared closely at the money, about 1,000 dollars, “Okay, I’ll call him right now.”
Liang Lu tugged on Tan Rou’s sleeve, signaling not to give them money, but Tan Rou shook her head gently and whispered, “Don’t worry, I won’t give them a penny. Right now, I need her help to find Boss Zhou, and when he gets here, we’ll just call the police and have them arrested.”
Liang Lu asked worriedly, “Will the police take care of this matter?”
Tan Rou swayed her cell phone, “I’ve already recorded our conversation. Anyway, Guo Xia and Liang Guo’s blackmailing is real; the police can arrest them. Even if Boss Zhou doesn’t show up, the police won’t be making a trip for nothing.”
Liang Lu gave Tan Rou a thumbs-up, “You are more careful than me. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have… ”
“Boss Zhou, how could you do this to us?” Guo Xia’s voice interrupted Liang Lu; she and Tan Rou looked towards Guo Xia, who was angrily standing with her hands on her hips, “You said you would help us, and now when I need you, how can you not come?”
It was unclear what the person on the other end had said, but Guo Xia began cursing in her local dialect. Although Tan Rou couldn’t understand, she knew from Guo Xia’s gestures that the negotiation with Boss Zhou was not going well.
Liang Lu briefly translated Guo Xia’s words for Tan Rou, “She’s calling Boss Zhou a bastard, saying he lured them here and then abandoned them. When she finds Boss Zhou, she’ll twist his head off and kick it like a ball. There are also some other words that are too foul to translate.”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows, admiringly commented, “That old lady, despite her small stature, has quite the lung capacity. She’s been cursing for so long without needing to rest, which shows she is in excellent health, without a single ailment.”
Liang Lu said, “The old man next to her also looks pretty well, clearly not sick at all.”
While they were arguing on the other side, Tan Rou didn’t want to listen to them bicker, so she looked down to send a message.
Liang Lu asked her whom she was messaging, and Tan Rou said she was sending a message to Zhuang Liu. Zhuang Liu’s people were already waiting at the hospital entrance, and if Boss Zhou dared to come, he wouldn’t be able to leave here easily today.
Boss Zhou probably already knew about the situation here and likely wouldn’t be coming back today, and maybe, wouldn’t show up again in the future.
Tan Rou couldn’t just wait here for Boss Zhou to arrive. Now that she knew his surname, she just needed to think about people who recently had issues with Liang Lu, and by elimination, they could find the person. Although it might be a bit troublesome, as long as they had enough people arranged, they could definitely find Boss Zhou.
“Hello, hello?” Guo Xia shouted into the phone, “Boss Zhou, can you hear me?”
Liang Guo asked from the side, “What’s going on? What did Boss Zhou say?”
Guo Xia replied irritably, “He’s not coming, he told us to sort it out ourselves!”
Liang Guo scratched his head, “How are we going to sort it out?”
Tan Rou interjected, “I’ll help you sort it out.”
Guo Xia and Liang Guo both looked at Tan Rou, “How will you sort it out?”
Tan Rou smiled and said, “Just one ‘110’ will do the trick.”
Guo Xia and Liang Guo still hadn’t caught on, “What ‘110’?”
Tan Rou didn’t say anything, just waited. Before long, two police officers pushed the door open and entered.
“We received a report that there are people here suspected of extortion.” The male police officer asked, “Who are Liang Lu, Liang Guo, and Guo Xia?”
Liang Lu, having been informed by Tan Rou about calling the police, naturally stepped forward, “I’m Liang Lu.”
