Chapter 354: 275. Life and Death Rescue (Request for Minimum Monthly Ticket Guarantee)
Xing Ge Building’s 49th-floor penthouse.
Su Xingzhi held the phone and instructed, “Why do you need this person from ? I can just refund the money, 1.2 tis the amount.”
On the other end of the phone, “Human Butcher” Chang Ping said, “But his buyer has already been found, and they’ve paid a deposit, too. If you want to keep him, I’ll have to refund their deposit…”
Su Xingzhi furrowed his brows, wanting to serve the young boss but not wishing to break the rules.
His reputation in the black market was that of the most trustworthy big dealer, which was like a golden signboard.
Strangely enough, in a place where trust was least expected, becoming the most trustworthy was especially valuable. Hence, in the black market of City 18, Su Xingzhi’s business had always been the best.
Furthermore, Su Xingzhi wasn’t exactly short on money. “I’ll compensate for the deposit; plus, I’ll refund 1.2 tis the amount. Will that do?”
“Sure, sure, sure,” Chang Ping with a smile on the other end of the line, “But I’m really curious, Boss Su, why would you need such a person?”
Su Xingzhi sneered, “Have you started being nosy? Do you want to keep him for your grave-sweeping next year, huh?”
Frightened, Chang Ping imdiately apologized, “No need, no need, I probably won’t die next year, just keep him… I an, I won’t be nosy anymore, not hear, not question, not ddling in others’ affairs!”
“Make sure not to tell him he’s been rescued. Let your people be more alert, and don’t fucking botch the act,” Su Xingzhi carefully instructed, “If they botch it, I’ll wring your neck.”
“No problem!” Chang Ping assured him, thumping his chest.
Even through the phone, one could hear the thump of his chest.
After hanging up, the skinny old man with a walrus mustache and a hunched back patted the chest of the henchman beside him: “Damn it, what’s gotten into Su Xingzhi, wanting to keep such a useless person?”
With that, he walked around the room seemingly to inspect it, but his gaze constantly lingered on Zhang Chengze.
However, after scrutinizing for a while, Chang Ping couldn’t spot anything special about him.
“Could he be the pawn of so big shot, and so big shot is using Su Xingzhi to buy him?” Chang Ping muttered, “I heard that gangs besieging Heng Society had Qing’s Family’s Fourth House involved. Could this be a plant by Qing’s Family’s Fourth House?”
He wondered to himself whether he could bypass Su Xingzhi and directly earn a favor from Qing’s Family’s Fourth House.
In the end, Chang Ping decided against it, realizing he only had one head, and if he couldn’t connect with Qing’s Family’s Fourth House, he would lose it.
Initially, Su Xingzhi’s reputation for ‘keeping his word’ wasn’t earned from doing business.
It was because if he said he’d twist your head off, he most certainly would.
As business grew bigger, people thought it was the credibility Su Xingzhi had built from doing business.
Once a person is successful, whatever they say is considered right.
Over at the Xing Ge Building, Su Xingzhi turned to Qing Chen, “Young boss, everything has been arranged over here… I wanted to ask, does making such arrangents for him unsettle you?”
Qing Chen knew Su Xingzhi was asking about intentionally sending Zhang Chengze into the most fearful state before rescuing him.
This thod didn’t seem like sothing a good person would do.
Yet, he truly didn’t feel any psychological burden.
If it wasn’t for daylight saving him, Zhang Chengze’s fate tonight would be certain death.
Hiding Zhang Chengze wasn’t his doing, nor was the selling of Zhang Chengze.
He also didn’t know that when Zhang Chengze called Gu Huozi, he was betrayed before he even finished speaking, and Gu Huozi had hung up the phone.
But even if he had finished his sentence, Gu Huozi’s four n didn’t have the ability to rescue him.
Qing Chen looked at Su Xingzhi, “It does seem rather spiteful to scare him on purpose, but I never claid to be a good person. If that makes soone view as a bad person, then I’m willing to be that bad person. However, I am curious, from what standpoint did you ask that question?”
Even though Zhang Chengze breached the contract first, Qing Chen wouldn’t seek out various reasons to try to justify his actions.
Maximizing benefits is just maximizing benefits, nothing more.
Su Xingzhi chuckled, “Don’t get wrong, young boss. I was just worried that you might be a good person, which would an you’d detest many things I do. Now that I see you’re so ruthless, I can rest easy!”
Qing Chen silently sized up Su Xingzhi, thinking what an odd character he was, unsure of his exact relationship with Uncle Li Dong.
By age, he should also be one of the orphans adopted by Uncle Li Dong.
Yet how could Jiang Xiaotang be unaware of Su Xingzhi’s relationship with Uncle Li Dong?
Or perhaps, the vast majority of the outside world was unaware.
Su Xingzhi, with a smile, asked, “Young boss, do you have any other needs? Besides Genetic Potion, I have everything right now! Including intelligence!”
After a thought, Qing Chen asked, “Where are the Qin Family People settled now?”
“Sixth District,” Su Xingzhi seed sowhat surprised that Qing Chen would ask this question. He replied, “I’ve just provided them with better chanical limbs, gave them four basic Genetic Potions as per their request. They don’t want to be too indebted to the boss, so they’re still doing the Wilderness Hunter business, self-sustaining.”
Qing Chen nodded.
Looking at him, Su Xingzhi added, “There’s so news about Qin Yiyi… In the southwest, soone claid they saw a young miss surnad Qin enter the snowy mountains, which is where Fire Pit is located. She’s still alive.”
Qing Chen said, “Thanks.”
With that, Qing Chen walked toward the elevator area.
