103: Chapter 103 The Sensible Zhu Tao

Seeing Li Tong's actions, Zhu Tao naturally guessed the identity of the person who had arrived.

At this moment, a lackey ran over to Zhu Tao's ear and quietly whispered the situation downstairs to him.

Upon hearing that the young man before him had kicked open his company's thick copper door with just three kicks, cold sweat nearly dripped from Zhu Tao's forehead.

"Th-this... is this still a normal person? No... is this even human?"

But awe aside, Zhu Tao was not the type of person to be scared out of his wits when encountering trouble. Moreover, he had so many of his own men present. He did not believe the other party would dare to act recklessly.

"Manager Zhu, long time no see. How have you been lately?" At a time like this, it was still Cheng Hong who stepped out to smooth things over.

"So it's Boss Cheng." "And this is..." Zhu Tao could see that the young man had come with Cheng Hong. Since everyone was an acquaintance, surely there was nothing that couldn't be mediated. Thus, he hinted for Cheng Hong to make an introduction.

"My name is Lin Yi." Before Cheng Hong could speak, Lin Yi replied coldly. He then took the opportunity to check on Li Tong considerately, confirming that she had not been bullied by these people.

"Oh, oh, so it's Manager Lin. I've heard so much about you!" Zhu Tao hurriedly offered a cigarette. Having spent so many years struggling in the world, he had long become a shrewd person. The other party had arrived in a bugatti, and with such impressive skills, he naturally couldn't be an ordinary person.

But no matter how hard Zhu Tao racked his brain, he couldn't figure out when such a figure had appeared in Nanjing. Lin Yi... he had never heard this name before! He was likely from another city. There were many large cities around Nanjing. Especially since it was very close to the Magic City. Perhaps this was some young master from the Magic City.

"Cut the pleasantries. I'm here today to resolve the matter." "Tell me, what will it take for you to settle this?" Lin Yi brushed aside the cigarette Zhu Tao offered. He had absolutely no intention of getting chummy with Zhu Tao. In his view, people like Zhu Tao were only after money. He would just have him name a price, transfer the money, and get the matter resolved.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao instantly put on a slightly fawning expression.

"Manager Lin, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" "We were blind and failed to recognize a superior person!" "Rest assured, your friend has absolutely not been bullied here." "You can take her away right now." "As for the money owed... forget it!" "Consider it as me, Zhu Tao, wanting to make a friend like you!"

It is said that a powerful dragon should not suppress the local snake, but Zhu Tao knew that a true powerful dragon could crush a local snake like him as easily as crushing an ant. If Lin Yi were only rich, Zhu Tao might not have been so timid. But the other party was not only wealthy, but also possessed extraordinary skills. That copper door on the first floor of the company had been chosen by him personally. It was thick and impressive. Yet Lin Yi had kicked it down in three strikes. It wasn't just kicked open; it was kicked into collapse! The difference in wording meant a world of difference. It was clear that Lin Yi's background was definitely not simple. Generally, those with excellent skills and wealthy backgrounds had some connection to the military. That was not someone a person like Zhu Tao could afford to offend. If the other party was still willing to negotiate with him, it was giving him face. If he didn't know how to act sensibly at this point, he might not even know how he died when the time came. Thinking of this, the way Zhu Tao looked at Lin Yi became increasingly respectful.

Lin Yi hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily. Originally, he had prepared for the other party to make exorbitant demands. As it turned out, the other party was very sensible and knew how to behave, making him the one who was rude instead. He had arrived and, without a word, kicked down their door, while also injuring several people in the process.

"Fine, then let's leave it at that!" Lin Yi took out his phone and asked Zhu Tao for a bank account number. "Take this one million to reinstall the door." "And for those injured downstairs, the medical expenses are included in this as well." Lin Yi didn't hesitate. After all, he had plenty of money now. Spending a million was completely painless for him. Moreover, he knew the principle of trying not to make enemies while out and about. Besides, this Zhu Tao was fairly sensible; perhaps he would be useful in the future.

"Manager Lin is generous!" "Then I thank Manager Lin on behalf of those blind lackeys downstairs!" Zhu Tao was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to be so lavish, actually throwing out one million just like that. It seemed his decision to curry favor with him was the right one!

"Manager Lin, this contains your friend's photos." Zhu Tao handed over a Bluetooth card reader, which contained Li Tong's private photos. Since Lin Yi was so generous, he, Zhu Tao, naturally wouldn't be ignorant of the rules. "Manager Lin, rest assured, we absolutely have no backups of these photos." "And no one has opened them to look." "You know, in our line of work, after doing it for a long time, one gets tired of seeing these kinds of photos." "Now, basically, once they are collected, they are uniformly stored in my safe, and they are only taken out when the money cannot be collected." "At other times, our people never look at them." "Of course, another part of the reason is to prevent subordinates who don't know the rules from privately blackmailing the parties involved." "If they accidentally escalated the matter, it wouldn't be good, you understand..." Zhu Tao spoke sincerely, and Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this. This was the attitude he wanted from Zhu Tao. As long as the attitude was correct, everything was negotiable.

"Fine, I'll take this for now." "If I ever find out in the future that any of these photos have leaked out, you know the consequences!" Zhu Tao hurriedly nodded and bowed. "Manager Lin, rest assured! I understand!" "Including today's incident, I will instruct my men not to say a single word about it outside!"

Lin Yi patted Zhu Tao on the shoulder. "That's it then." "I'll be taking her with me." "Right, as for that loan of yours..." "I think, every debt has its debtor..." Lin Yi gave Zhu Tao a look, and Zhu Tao understood immediately. "I understand, I understand. Manager Lin, rest assured, I will absolutely not let her off!" It was enough to say this much. Lin Yi took Li Tong's hand and walked downstairs. Cheng Hong exchanged a few words with Zhu Tao and followed behind Lin Yi downstairs.

"Manager Lin, if there's anything you need me for in the future, just give the order!" Having received benefits from Lin Yi, Zhu Tao naturally had to be more proactive. Perhaps Lin Yi would give him more benefits in the future! Living in this world, it was all for the sake of money. Zhu Tao felt that if he could establish a connection with Lin Yi, he might just hit the big time.

Opening the car door, Lin Yi helped Li Tong into the passenger seat. The car could only seat two people, and Lin Yi looked at Cheng Hong with some embarrassment. "Young Master Lin, you guys go back first, I'll take a taxi myself." Cheng Hong was also very sensible.

"Alright then, thank you for today. I'll treat you to a meal another day!" After all, Cheng Hong had made the trip with him, so he had to show some appreciation.

Cheng Hong, however, smiled slightly and shook her head. "Young Master Lin, you are too polite. I still haven't repaid the favor of you gifting me that Koenigsegg last time!" Hearing this, Lin Yi remembered the matter. He scratched the back of his head and laughed. "That's a small matter. Next time, I'll properly gift you another one!" Since Cheng Hong's favorability rating increased slowly, it was a good opportunity for him to farm a few more cashbacks.
