53: Chapter 53 No, don't go, I'm so scared...

Luo Wei naturally did not drive away.

He knew very well that something was about to happen.

He found a spot to park the car and then stood by the roadside waiting.

Activating the Eye of Thoroughness, his vision pierced through the building, clearly seeing Cheng Yunshu waiting for the elevator.

When that short figure with their head wrapped in clothes entered the apartment building, he also walked toward it.

In the first-floor lobby of the apartment building, being stared at by that eerie person, Cheng Yunshu's skin crawled!

Seeing the person pull a utility knife from their pocket, she screamed in terror!

Watching the person with the wrapped head rush toward her like a madman!

Cheng Yunshu had no way to escape; behind her was a dead end. She could only shrink into a corner, eyes tightly shut, praying for someone to save her!

"Who are you?" a familiar voice came. "What do you think you're doing?"

Hearing the voice, Cheng Yunshu opened her eyes.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that Luo Wei had appeared!

Luo Wei grabbed the person's arm from behind to prevent them from getting close to Cheng Yunshu!

"Luo Wei, he, he has..." Cheng Yunshu wanted to warn Luo Wei that the man had a knife.

However, before she could finish, the man swung the utility knife in his hand and turned to slash at Luo Wei behind him!

This scene turned Cheng Yunshu's face pale with fright; she didn't want Luo Wei to get hurt!

Fortunately, that didn't happen!

Luo Wei grabbed the man's wrist that was holding the knife!

After successfully snatching the utility knife, he used an over-the-shoulder throw to slam the man onto the ground!

Immediately after, Luo Wei twisted the man's arm and pinned him to the floor with his knee, easily bringing him under control!

Witnessing Luo Wei's fluid movements, Cheng Yunshu remembered Luo Wei saying before that he could fight ten people alone!

Clearly, Luo Wei wasn't bragging; he was just being modest—his skills were truly impressive!

Luo Wei pulled off the clothes covering the man's face.

When Cheng Yunshu saw the man's face, she let out a cry of surprise, "Wang Dechang?"

"What are you doing? I helped you sell your house this afternoon, and you treat me like this?"

"You have the nerve to bring that up!" Wang Dechang, pinned to the ground, was furious. "If you hadn't kept shouting that house prices were falling, how could I have signed to sell the house!"

"Only after the title was transferred did I hear that in the same neighborhood, for the same layout, others sold theirs for tens of thousands more than me!"

"It's all your fault that I lost tens of thousands!"

So that was it; he wanted revenge because of something like this!

Cheng Yunshu was half-dead with anger. "I didn't point a gun at your head and force you to sign the transfer!"

"Also, why don't you look at what was inside your house?"

"You didn't even leave a single chair in that house!"

"When others sell houses, they include some furniture and appliances. It's normal for their price to be higher than yours!"

"Besides, I wasn't talking nonsense about prices falling. Even though the surrounding facilities are good, your house was so dilapidated it was barely presentable. Hardly anyone wanted to buy it!"

"Enough!" Luo Wei stopped Cheng Yunshu's defense. "There's no use talking now. Let's just call the police!"

Hearing about calling the police, Wang Dechang immediately panicked.

The reason he sold the house was to buy a new one for his son's marriage.

If the news of his arrest for attempted assault reached his future in-laws' ears...

It might ruin his son's marriage.

Also, his younger son planned to take the civil service exam.

If he ended up with a criminal record, it would definitely affect his younger son's future!

Wang Dechang felt afraid now and begged frantically, "I—I was wrong. I just acted on impulse. Please, let me go..."

"Heh..." Luo Wei sneered. "If I hadn't acted in time just now, a few slashes from you might have ruined my friend's life!"

"Even if it was an impulse, you must pay the price for your actions!"

Cheng Yunshu nodded heavily. If Luo Wei hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

"Don't call the police, you absolutely can't call the police. I know I was wrong..."

"What's the use of admitting you're wrong?" Luo Wei growled with a dark face. "Pay up!"

"Okay, I can pay. As long as you don't call the police, I'm willing to pay ten thousand yuan in compensation!"

"Ten thousand?" Luo Wei's expression was extremely ugly. "Are you trying to brush off a beggar?"

"Think about it yourself. If you had slashed my friend's cheek just now, how much would medical treatment cost?"

"If you had succeeded, it would be intentional injury. You'd spend at least two years in prison!"

"Moreover, going to prison leaves a record that affects your descendants!"

"Do you think ten thousand yuan can settle this?"

"Thirty—thirty thousand, how about that?" Wang Dechang naturally knew the consequences and gritted his teeth to raise the price.

Thirty thousand was a lot. Cheng Yunshu looked at Luo Wei expectantly, hoping he would agree.

Unexpectedly, Luo Wei directly stated a fixed price.

"One hundred thousand. Not a penny less!"

Luo Wei was demanding an exorbitant price!

Because he lost tens of thousands, Wang Dechang wanted revenge on Cheng Yunshu.

Now being fleeced for a hundred thousand was practically killing him!

Wang Dechang didn't want to pay that much; he'd rather go to prison!

But thinking of his eldest son's upcoming marriage and his younger son who was taking the civil service exam, he had no choice!

"One—one hundred thousand it is!"

"Very good!"

Luo Wei released him and gestured for Cheng Yunshu to show her payment QR code.

Luo Wei didn't forget to point at the surveillance camera installed at the elevator entrance. "I'll find the property management and get a copy of that footage!"

"After you pay, if you dare to falsely accuse us of extortion, or if you dare to appear in my friend's sight again, I will immediately take the surveillance video to the police!"

"..." Wang Dechang nodded through gritted teeth. With a trembling hand, he paid Cheng Yunshu one hundred thousand yuan!

"Since you've taken the money, you're not allowed to call the police, otherwise..."

Wang Dechang wanted to leave a harsh threat.

But he looked at Luo Wei with fear.

That young man's eyes were truly terrifying!

The over-the-shoulder throw just now had nearly killed him.

He felt like many of his bones were broken.

He just wanted to get to a hospital as quickly as possible!

Turning around, Wang Dechang limped away.

He had originally wanted revenge on Cheng Yunshu because he lost money.

Who would have thought that instead of getting revenge, he would be extorted for a hundred thousand!

At this moment, his heart was bleeding, but he couldn't blame anyone else; he could only blame himself for being too impulsive!

Watching Wang Dechang leave, a pleasant notification sound appeared in Luo Wei's ear.

[Congratulations, you have gained 1 intelligence point]

Another intelligence point in the bag. This was wonderful!

Cheng Yunshu pointed at the surveillance camera and asked Luo Wei, "Next, are we going to find the property management?"

Luo Wei smiled and shook his head. "No need. That guy definitely won't dare to show up again!"

"As soon as I mentioned calling the police, he was instantly terrified!"

"Either he has a guilty conscience, or he's worried about a criminal record affecting his descendants!"

"In short, he definitely won't dare to appear again!"

Luo Wei could see that Wang Dechang was a total coward.

So he didn't retrieve the bad luck talisman from Li Taian to stick it on him.

Of course, if Wang Dechang dared to show his face again, he definitely wouldn't be soft-hearted.

"Alright, the crisis is over!" Luo Wei turned around, intentionally acting as if he planned to leave.

Having just encountered such a dangerous situation, Cheng Yunshu still had lingering fears; there was no way she would let Luo Wei leave.

She grabbed the corner of Luo Wei's shirt and pleaded pitifully.

"Don't, don't leave, I'm so scared..."
