Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147: Punishing Evil and Rewarding the Good
"Ten thousand? Why don’t you go rob someone?"
One worker couldn’t help but shout loudly!
A dark-skinned young man’s eyes turned cold upon hearing this, and he immediately retorted, "Do you want to die?"
As he spoke, one of the venomous snakes fixed its gaze on the worker, crazily flicking its tongue, looking extremely terrifying!
The worker turned pale with fright and hurriedly retreated!
The foreman, sweating profusely, nervously said, "The first time, you wanted a thousand, the second time two thousand, and now you want ten thousand. We’re poor folks; we don’t have that much money on us. There’s nowhere to spend money around here, all our cash is in the bank and we haven’t withdrawn it!"
"Hmph! I don’t care how you get it, you must give me ten thousand, or you can try your luck. I’ll be here waiting!" the dark-skinned young man barked.
The foreman felt utterly helpless, never encountering such a tough customer before!
If this were in a city, it would be fine; he could call the police. But out here in the sticks, calling the police wouldn’t help—they wouldn’t trek over here for such a minor issue!
Moreover, with so many venomous snakes watching them, the foreman and the others dared not resist. Otherwise, if the snakes got angry, none of them would survive!
The foreman, hands trembling, took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, saying, "This is all I have left, I’ll give it to you, please let us go!"
"Five hundred yuan? Are you treating me like a beggar? Looks like you need a lesson to understand my power!"
The dark-skinned youth suddenly shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand, one snake immediately lunged at the foreman!
"No!"
The foreman hastily covered his face with his hands and retreated quickly, shouting in fright!
Seeing this, Lin Fan and Miao Qiaomei’s expressions changed drastically!
"Quick! Save him!" Lin Fan immediately said to Miao Qiaomei!
Miao Qiaomei didn’t dare hesitate and quickly blew her whistle; the rushing snake immediately stopped midway and then turned around, slithering away!
At the same time, Miao Qiaomei blew the whistle several more times, causing the other snakes and animals to scatter and retreat!
Seeing this, the workers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the foreman, realizing he wasn’t dead, felt all strength leave him, collapsing onto the ground with his pants soaking wet!
Lin Fan hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the workers, and asked, "Are you guys okay?"
"N-no... we’re okay!"
The workers didn’t know Lin Fan, looking lost and trembling as they spoke!
"Don’t worry, I’ll stand up for you!"
Lin Fan assured them firmly, his sharp gaze quickly turning towards the dark-skinned young man!
From the previous conversation, Lin Fan had already realized this guy was extorting!
Moreover, Lin Fan instantly saw through the middle-aged man lying on the ground feigning unconsciousness with a pale face—it was all fake. He wasn’t dead or unconscious; he must have used a kind of breath control technique!
"Miao Axiong, are you threatening the workers, trying to get yourself punished?"
Miao Qiaomei glared at the dark-skinned youngster and shouted loudly!
Miao Axiong momentarily hesitated upon seeing Miao Qiaomei, not expecting her to appear!
Yet, in such circumstances, Miao Axiong couldn’t admit to his intimidation, and quickly said, "Princess, you must decide for me. My father saw how hard these workers were laboring and wanted to bring them some food. But they looked down on us Miao people, calling us monsters. My father got angry and had a few quarrels with them, which led to... them beating my father unconscious!"
"You... you’re lying!"
The foreman shouted angrily, "It was your father who suddenly fainted upon arriving at the site. Out of goodwill, we went over to see what was wrong, and you suddenly jumped out saying we beat your father. Princess, please stand up for us!"
Facing words from both sides, Miao Qiaomei’s expression indeed became conflicted!
Her mind was like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl; she had never dealt with such a situation before, and at the moment, didn’t know what to do!
Miao Qiaomei was about to speak when Lin Fan suddenly stopped her and said to Miao Axiong, "How about we make a bet?"
"Who are you, why should I bet with you?" Miao Axiong shouted at Lin Fan.
"Who I am doesn’t matter, what’s important is this..."
Lin Fan smiled lightly, reached behind him, and pulled out a stack of cash—a good few dozen bills!
Unsurprisingly, upon seeing this, Miao Axiong’s eyes immediately lit up, his face filled with greed!
Miao Axiong asked, "What do you want to bet on?"
"If I can get your father to stand up within a minute, then you must stop harassing these workers. If I can’t, then all this money is yours, and every time you come here extorting, I’ll willingly give you the money. How’s that?" Lin Fan chuckled.
Miao Axiong paused for a few seconds after hearing this, and quickly, his face showed excitement!
His father had fainted using a breath control technique; ordinary people couldn’t wake him up. Now hearing Lin Fan’s proposal, Miao Axiong felt like it was a golden opportunity falling into his lap!
"Let’s see what you can do!" Miao Axiong said excitedly.
Lin Fan smirked coldly; this kind of performance and extortion method would have gotten him a beating in the big city. He was only lucky to be living here!
Lin Fan’s hand slid to his waist, and a Cow Hair Needle appeared in his hand!
Lin Fan’s lips curled into a cold smile, his wrist shaking gently!
The sound of the needle breaking through the air echoed sharply!
The Cow Hair Needle was hurled fiercely by Lin Fan, piercing the air and mercilessly into a pressure point on the back of Miao Axiong’s father lying on the ground, pretending to be unconscious!
Then Lin Fan lit a cigarette, casually smoking it, blowing smoke, looking completely confident!
Miao Axiong’s father’s facial fat immediately compressed together in pain!
Yet, this guy was quite tough—each second passed quickly. As the minute approached, Miao Axiong’s face showed excitement as if he saw himself stuffing his pockets full of cash!
"Kid, you lost, haha!" Miao Axiong laughed excitedly!
"Don’t rush, we still have time before a minute is up!" Lin Fan smiled lightly, not fazed at all!
The pressure point into which the Cow Hair Needle was inserted was extremely painful—even Lin Fan himself found it hard to endure. He didn’t believe the middle-aged man could withstand it!
Soon, just as the minute was about to pass!
"Aaargh~"
The sound of a pig being slaughtered rang out as the middle-aged man jumped straight up from the ground, hopping and screaming as if he were a wild boar about to be slaughtered, his cries absolutely miserable!
