The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 876 - 876: No Money, No Way Out
The old man looked at Lone Wolf and Lv Ziming, angrily saying, "You said you wanted to find some girls, and I went through so much effort, taking such a big risk to find them for you.
If you're not satisfied, fine, and if you don't want to give the three hundred yuan, that's okay too.
But at least, you should pay them for their trouble, right?
It's such a cold day, and they went through all the trouble to put on makeup and come from such a long distance."
"You better step aside before I lose my patience and smack you with a big slap!" Lone Wolf said sullenly.
"Hey! At my age, I'd rather you get rough with me." The old man promptly leaned his face over, provocatively pointing at his own face, "Come on, come on, try touching me with a finger."
Lv Ziming stepped forward and tugged on Lone Wolf, "Forget it, it's just a hundred bucks or so. Don't waste time on this."
With that, he took out two hundred from his pocket.
Before he could hand it to the old man, Lone Wolf snatched it from him: "I'm serious about this today. I'll ask you one last time, will you let us through or not?"
Their different experiences naturally led to different personalities.
Although Lv Ziming had also been involved in fights and killings, those were always as a last resort. Most of the time, he preferred to keep the peace.
However, Lone Wolf was different. He was stubborn, narrow-minded, and when pushed to the limit, he didn't consider the consequences of his actions.
To a certain extent, even if it meant hurting himself a lot more than the enemy, he would still do it!
And as for the old man, at this moment, he was shaking his head and his legs, looking as if he cared but couldn't care less.
"Calm down!" Lv Ziming placed his hand on Lone Wolf's shoulder.
He was really afraid that once his stubborn friend lost it, he might punch the old man to death.
Besides, at its root, this was just a misunderstanding. There was no need to escalate the issue.
However, he saw Lone Wolf smirk and say, "Old Lv, how about we make a bet?"
Lv Ziming was surprised: "Bet on what?"
"Bet on whether I can get them to move aside without using force," Lone Wolf chuckled.
As this concerned their immediate interests, these "aunties" gathered by the old man were now standing with him, arms akimbo, lips pursed, blocking the door tightly.
"You're not planning to threaten them by calling the police, are you?" Lv Ziming advised, "Don't do that. If we really get caught, we'll never lift our heads up again."
"Relax, I'm definitely not calling the cops," Lone Wolf said impatiently. "Just tell me if you're willing to bet or not?"
Lv Ziming didn't rush to answer and instead asked, "What if you succeed?"
"Then you treat me to drinks for a month, no matter how much I drink, you pay."
"And if you can't do it?"
"The reverse, I'd treat you to drinks for a month."
"Alright, it's a deal, I'll bet with you!" agreed Lv Ziming.
A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Lone Wolf's eyes as he turned to look at the old man still shaking his head, and laughed: "How about I play you a lively tune?"
"Nothing is useful to say, if you don't give the money, don't even think about leaving my door today," the old man remained unmoved.
"Fine, come over here, I have something to show you," Lone Wolf gestured.
Hearing Lone Wolf's tone soften, the old man, cocky, said, "That's more like it, young people should be adaptable."
Lone Wolf said nothing, just pulled a small notebook from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to the old man.
"You… you…"
The old man staggered back two steps, looking at Lone Wolf in sheer terror.
"Believe it or not," Lone Wolf crossed his arms, smiling brightly.
"Quickly, quickly, let them go," the old man hurriedly told the aunties.
"Why should we?" someone protested, "We've come all this way, went through all this hassle, and you mean it was all for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, the others began to voice their agreement.
"That's right, we can't come for nothing!"
"I don't care, whoever wants to leave can leave, but I'm not moving."
The old man was nearly losing his mind, motioning for the aunties to form a circle and whispered a few words to them.
Then, Lv Ziming saw the aunties' facial expressions change, just like the old man's, filled with fear as they looked at Lone Wolf, and they scrambled to rush out of the house as if their lives depended on it.
"Please, come on out," the old man put on a smile worse than crying, making a gesture of invitation at the door.
Lone Wolf remained unmoved, saying, "Leaving like this won't do, you still haven't returned my two hundred bucks."
The old man was almost in tears: "Look, I've been busy for so long, even if I don't deserve credit, I deserve some hard work money…"
"Fine, don't give it," Lone Wolf interrupted without letting him finish: "Then we won't leave, call the police to arrest us if you want, or whatever, as long as you don't return the money, I'll come here every day."
"Alright, alright, I'll give it to you now!" The old man quickly took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, placing it at the door, not daring to even step inside.
"Hmph! Wouldn't it have been easier to do this from the start?" Lone Wolf said while walking to the door to pick up the two hundred yuan, striding out of the house.
And neither the old man nor the ladies dared to get within three meters of him.
Lv Ziming was dumbfounded, how on earth did he manage this?
After quickly following him out, Lv Ziming said, "I lost, so from today, the end of the month, until next month's end, all your drinks are on me.
But what did you just show that old man?"
"It's too boring to just tell you, try guessing first. If you guess right, this month's drinks are free. If you guess wrong, then you cover me for another month," Lone Wolf teased.
"…" Lv Ziming said nothing.
This was him pulling a fast one.
"That's not something you can just guess," Lv Ziming said honestly.
Lone Wolf explained patiently, "I can give you a range, but you only have three chances, want to try?"
"Alright, I've already lost a month, losing another month doesn't matter, I'll go with you anyway!" Lv Ziming said heartily.
"Great!" Lone Wolf laughed heartily, "What I took out was a certificate, you can start guessing."
"A certificate…" Lv Ziming pondered for a moment, speculating: "A mental illness certificate?"
Lone Wolf's smile froze immediately, then slowly faded away.
Damn, did this guy cheat?
How could he get it in one guess?
"Did I get it right?" Lv Ziming said cheerfully.
Lone Wolf nodded, frustrated: "Congratulations, now neither of us owes the other."
"Oh, whatever, it's just a month's worth of drinks, even if I treat you for a month, so what!" Lv Ziming patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry about it, I'll cover you for a month!"
"What did you say?!" Lone Wolf's eyes widened, feeling a sudden tightness in his lower backside.
Lv Ziming, puzzled, said: "I'm saying I'll treat you to drinks for a month."
"Oh." Lone Wolf let out a sigh of relief, wiped his brow, and muttered, "Scared me to death, scared me to death."
