Five Million Check

Don’t interfere with the relocation project? Lin Yi couldn’t believe that Qibing actually asked him here for this. Did he really go through all this trouble to tell him this? To say that Qibing was afraid of him sabotaging his plan again and using enough money to please him, it was probably plausible.

Seeing Lin Yi’s reaction made Qibing as happy inside. He’d been waiting for this moment. Lin Yi would surely suspect him if he just fired advantage at him. After all, Lin Yi was the one breaking both his legs. Giving him something for nothing was stupid, wasn’t it?

So while giving him money, Qibing requested a favor! Things looked reasonable now! Qibing wanted to relocate the people in the slums, and Lin Yi, the biggest threat to his relocation project, was bribed with money to not interfere with him! Absolutely logical!

So, it was like Qibing was surrendering to Lin Yi’s overpowering strength. In order to save his own face, he paid Lin Yi a sum of money using the compensation as an excuse.

In this way, Lin Yi wouldn’t suspect his real intentions anymore! Otherwise, he would be treated like an idiot, who had his legs broken and building leveled and yet still paid them three million as medical fee plus giving them another few million as compensation.

It was the international level of idiocy.

Qibing’s request put Lin Yi in a difficult position! Logically speaking, he had nothing to do with the relocation project, and he didn’t like being a busy body, but the main problem here was whether Tang Yun would allow him to do this or not?

So he looked at Tang Yun for an answer.

Tang Yun was troubled too. If it was possible, she’d like Lin Yi to help out the needing neighbors. If she hadn’t met Lin Yi back then, she would probably in the same situation with her neighbors. Or even worse because of Zhao Qibing targeting her!

However, even if Tang Yun was felt this way, she couldn’t do anything about it. As capable as Lin Yi was, he couldn’t take care of everything, could he? There were so many unfortunate families and events. How could Lin Yi take care of all of them?

Besides Qibing had made things clear. If they were willing to give their neighbors some compensation privately, he was totally fine with it.

However, even if Tang Yun distributed out the five million RMB, there were so many families in the slums. They could at most give a few thousand for each family. It was like a drop in the ocean!

This made Tang Yun hesitate.

Mrs. Tang, on the other hand, didn’t really mind. Other people’s issues had nothing to do with her family, right? They were poor and couldn’t get the compensation because they were powerless. They didn’t have a son in law like Lin Yi, who could they blame? They could only blame their own daughters who weren’t capable enough!

When her man was still lying on the bed, jobless, did anyone come to lend them money? Did they find their family connections?

Basically, the slums were filled with poor people, but not all of them didn’t have any connections. When Tang Jucheng had an accident, Mrs. Tang couldn’t even find anyone to talk to. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be empty-handed and got nothing!

On the other side of the village, there was a guy working in the electronics factory. His foot was scalded during his work and was compensated with ten thousand after finding some connections! Mrs. Tang visited that family and asked for help, but that family was so afraid of trouble. They didn’t even dare to open their door to welcome Mrs. Tang!

So Mrs. Tang pondered and came out with a conclusion. Your life is not mine to care, I’ll take all the money and live in my big house!

Although Mrs. Tang was thinking like that, Lin Yi was still here. She couldn’t be the one talking here as she looked at Lin Yi again.

“Oh, sure.” Lin Yi saw no reaction from Tang Yun, so he took the initiative and decided for Tang Yun. “But do not go beyond what’s supposed to be compensated. Try your best to follow the executive standard?”

This was the last thing Lin Yi could do. He had given his best!

After all, as powerful as Lin Yi was, he couldn’t just force Zhao Qibing to pay every family five million, could he? He’d surely go bankrupt in a few days instead of earning money.

“Let me reconsider this.” Qibing nodded. No matter what Lin Yi said, he should just agree with him first. What could he do after the explosion?

“Okay, so when are you passing us the money?” Lin Yi nodded.

“Oh, I’ll ask someone to open a five million check now and send it to you later,” Qibing said.

“Isn’t online transaction faster?” Lin Yi frowned lightly.

“Online transaction, ah, our company’s account is close to exceeding the limit for this month. Didn’t we pay you the three million earlier? If we were to send you another five million now, it’d be exceeded for sure!” Qibing had thought of an excuse formally so he said with much calm and steadiness.

“Oh, call that person then.” Although Lin Yi was having doubts, he still nodded anyway.

“Okay, I’m calling right now!” Qibing answered and gave Cihua an eye signal.

Cihua understood what the signal meant, took out his phone and called Zhang Yuzhou.

“Hello? Zhang Yuzhou? Where are you?” Cihua stood up and walked to the window just so Lin Yi couldn’t hear what they were conversing.

“Cihua bro, don’t worry, I’m in a safe place.” Zhang Yuzhou continued. “The bomb is installed. When the car is activated, the time bomb will start counting down.”

“Oh, go get us prepared a five million check and send it here now!” Cihua said.

“Okay, I’m on my way.” Zhang Yuzhou replied.

In actuality, this phone call was made to make sure the installation of the time bomb was completed. As for the check, it was just a random excuse to cover up the real reason.

After not long, there was a knock on the door, Zhang Yuzhou entered the room and placed the check before Qibing. “Master Bing, the check is ready.”

“En, let me have a look.” Qibing looked at the check. Everything was fine so signed his signature on it and passed it to Lin Yi. “You can call the bank to check the effectiveness of the check.”

Lin Yi nodded and called the bank to make sure they could get back the cash form the check. After the call, he nodded and passed the check to Mrs. Tang. Zhao Qibing’s behavior was extraordinary abnormal today so he had to be cautious of everything!

As for why Qibing wanted Lin Yi to not interfere with the relocation project, Lin Yi found the excuse unreliable! In fact, during the whole relocation project, Lin Yi had only stood up for Tang Yun’s family. He hadn’t even interfere with other people’s business in the slightest!

Hence, the negotiation ended smoothly. Zhao Qibing never had the intention to keep them here any longer as he ordered Cihua. “Cihua, send Lin Yi and Mrs. Tang’s family out.”

“Okay, Master Bing!” Cihua nodded and stretched his hand out like “After you first, Lin Yi. I believe you do not wish to stay here after this business right?”
