Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Despised and Out of Reach

Need to borrow some cash?

Anyone could understand what that meant.

Chen Shiqing's heart was bursting with frustration, to think that a distinguished young master like himself was being blatantly extorted by a sickly-dressed loser.

Chen Shiqing had an ugly expression on his face, but he looked at Zhu Bufan's seemingly smirking visage.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Fine, I'll borrow!"

"Hehe..." Zhu Bufan was not surprised to hear Chen Shiqing agree to borrow.

At this moment, Chen Shiqing's life was in his hands, how could Chen Shiqing not agree to borrow?

"How much do you want to borrow?"

Chen Shiqing uttered these words with his eyes closed, as if the words were squeezed through the gaps in his teeth.

It was evident how furious Chen Shiqing was right now!

Nevertheless, at this point, Chen Shiqing couldn't wait to leave this place immediately. Today, he admitted his bad luck.

However, he was determined to reclaim the situation that had befallen him.

He was accustomed to extorting others, and today, for a change, he found himself at the receiving end of the extortion, and by a poor loser at that.

How could he accept that?

Therefore, Chen Shiqing swore in his heart that the moment he left this place, he would order someone to take care of Zhu Bufan.

"How much? Hehe, not much, considering all you've already done for me, then..."

"I will borrow one million!!!"

"What?"

Chen Shiqing nearly collapsed when he heard Zhu Bufan say he wanted to borrow a million.

Originally, Chen Shiqing thought this poor loser would be satisfied with a few tens of thousands, but to his surprise, Zhu Bufan straight up asked for a million!

"This... this..."

Chen Shiqing immediately found himself in a bind.

"Why not borrow?"

"Well, it's not that I won't lend you, it's just that I don't have that much right now!" Chen Shiqing felt like cursing his luck.

Damn it, a million isn't much to my family, but this is still a million, can it just be lent out so casually? You're truly worthy of being a poor loser, seizing the opportunity to extort fiercely.

"Oh? Really?" Zhu Bufan's eyes narrowed, and his face suddenly turned cold.

"Truly, I'm not lying to you, in this situation, I wouldn't dare…" Watching Zhu Bufan's expression change instantly, Chen Shiqing's heart skipped a beat.

At the same time, Chen Shiqing felt extremely stifled and furious inside.

Damn it, this poor guy flips faces so quickly.

"Oh, okay then, how much can you lend right now?"

Chen Shiqing looked at Zhu Bufan eagerly, not daring to make a move. At this moment, he was truly afraid of this poor loser, who kicked people to the ground, broke arms with a punch, and shamelessly aimed blows below the belt.

It's unknown whether those below still have their two eggs intact.

Such a loser who doesn't play by the rules.

An old saying goes, a man with nothing to lose doesn't fear the man with shoes.

Chen Shiqing was truly scared!

Scared that his own two eggs would be crushed by Zhu Bufan.

Finally, after a long time, Zhu Bufan spoke a sentence.

Instantly, Chen Shiqing heaved a sigh of relief.

"I can take out a maximum of three hundred thousand right now!"

Chen Shiqing said timidly.

A million compared to three hundred thousand was a huge difference.

Yet, to Chen Shiqing's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Bufan immediately replied: "Okay, do you prefer Alipay or WeChat Pay?"

But at this moment, Chen Shiqing didn't think too much about it.

"Let's do Alipay!"

Chen Shiqing answered helplessly while closing his eyes.

Before long, Chen Shiqing transferred the money to Zhu Bufan.

"Can I go now?"

"Sure."

Bufan Zhu watched Chen Shiqing tremble with fear, feeling like laughing inside, but he couldn't. He pretended it didn't matter and said.

Hearing he could finally leave,

Chen Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he hurried toward the exit.

What Chen Shiqing didn't expect was that just as he reached the door, Bufan Zhu's voice rang out again.

"Hold on!"

"Big brother, what else do you want?"

Chen Shiqing felt nauseous.

"Oh, actually it's nothing much, just wanted to let you know, I've recorded everything earlier, especially what you said to her. So, don't even think about calling the police or anything. Besides, I was borrowing money from you, not extorting you. You get it? Of course, you can still report to the police if you like, but next time, I won't just ask you for three hundred thousand..."

"Yes... yes, I know..."

Chen Shiqing really felt like vomiting blood. This time, he really hit rock bottom.

He had thought he could just report to the police station that he was being extorted for three hundred thousand and then find someone to off Bufan Zhu. That way, even if he had Bufan Zhu killed, the police wouldn't suspect him because he could fabricate a story of a dispute over a split of spoils leading to a fight and the subsequent killing.

Now, it seems that's not an option.

However, for Chen Shiqing, the priority was to leave this place.

So.

The next moment, Chen Shiqing immediately ran away.

After Chen Shiqing left, Bufan Zhu simply put on his own clothes without taking off the hospital gown.

He had Yanran Liu to thank for placing his things beside the hospital bed at the beginning.

Of course, Bufan Zhu didn't change clothes not because he didn't want to, but because there was a woman here and it was inappropriate.

As for why Bufan Zhu extorted Chen Shiqing.

Firstly, Chen Shiqing's surname was Chen, just like his girlfriend who dumped him, not to mention Chen Shiqing, as a man, treating a woman so poorly, which Bufan Zhu couldn't tolerate.

Secondly, Bufan Zhu really needed money.

Because Cultivation requires money, and the Ring Spirit Cultivation Demon had told Bufan Zhu that once he woke up, it would guide him to a certain place, and he'd have to buy some essential Cultivation materials.

Now, Bufan Zhu had woken up, and based on everything that had happened, it all seemed real, so he needed money.

But Bufan Zhu himself had no money.

Perfect!

Chen Shiqing, this rich young master, had come along.

How could Bufan Zhu not take the opportunity to get some money?

Dressed up, Bufan Zhu glanced at Yanran Liu, who was still in a daze, then walked straight out of the ward.

"Ding ding..."

And just then, Bufan Zhu's phone rang.

Bufan Zhu looked at the displayed number.

A pang of inexplicable pain hit his heart.

"Hello, what do you want?" In the end, Bufan Zhu picked up the call, though his voice was cold.

"Actually, it's nothing much. Just calling to let you know, don't bother coming to the company any more. You've been let go. Oh, and I've had your salary transferred to you, the extra is for playing you during this time, consider it compensation. That's all..."

Right, the caller was none other than Bixia Chen, who had kicked Bufan Zhu to the curb.

After hanging up, Bufan Zhu's face turned icy cold. His heart ached.

In spite of his nonchalant facade back then, Bixia Chen was the first woman Bufan Zhu had ever fallen for.

So, Bufan Zhu was truly hurt.

But soon, Bufan Zhu let go.

"Woman, you look down on me, Bufan Zhu, now. But someday, I, Bufan Zhu, will be out of your reach!"

Bufan Zhu said to himself coldly in his heart.

The next moment, without any hesitation, Bufan Zhu quickly left the ward.

And just as Bufan Zhu stepped out of the ward, a woman ran after him.

Meanwhile, in another place, after Bixia Chen hung up the phone, two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
