“You!” Qi Wenhan was at a loss for words, and Lin Yi could only shrug helplessly. He didn’t do anything to this pirate leader on the way here, only knocking him out after they reached the dock of black arc city. He didn’t expect the other party to use this as a handle. !!
“Hehe, as for physical evidence, forgive me for being blind, but master Qi, where’s the physical evidence you’re talking about? why don’t I see it?” Wei Zhaotong continued to sneer and mock. The fact that the pirate leader had been caught by the other party had indeed given him a shock, but how could there be any so-called physical evidence for such a thing?
For safety’s sake, he had secretly met up with these Pirates in the distant star Ocean. He had not even passed them a note, so where did he get the evidence?
“This is the evidence!” Qi Wenhan took out the letter that Lin Yi gave him and said coldly,”Since you don’t want to acknowledge this witness, then just put it aside for now. The Fang family has already signed the receipt. If you don’t believe me, then I can accompany you to find the manor lord, Fang bi Wu, to verify it!”
“Oh?” Wei Zhaotong’s eyes flickered as he glanced at the words on the escort book. He realized that it was indeed Fang bi Wu’s handwriting. He and Fang bi Wu had known each other for decades, so he could still recognize the other party’s handwriting. Otherwise, Fang bi Wu would not have asked him to personally take care of such an important life-saving material like the miasma pill.
Wei Zhaotong looked Lin Yi up and down. Even if the other didn’t say anything, he could guess that it was this person’s doing. He didn’t expect to steal the goods from the Pirates and send them back to the other party.
If Wei Zhaotong was in Lin Yi’s position, his first thought would probably be to keep the goods for himself. After all, it was worth three hundred thousand spirit Jade, who would be so stupid as to give it away?
“Shopkeeper Wei, you can insist that we’re witnesses and claim that we’ve found a random person to force him into confessing, but you can’t deny this letter, right?” Qi Wenhan stared at Wei Zhaotong’s expression and said.
This was because he could find Fang bi Wu to verify it. He didn’t have to worry about the other party not admitting to it. Moreover, if Wei Zhaotong didn’t admit it, not only would it be of no use, it would also show that he was in the wrong. At that time, the pressure from the public would be even greater. At that time, there would only be one end for him, Wei Zhaotong. He would have to bear the consequences.
“So what? This can only mean that you managed to deliver the goods after such a long delay. You can’t just say that I’m related to Pirates because of this, right?” Wei Zhaotong still said unhurriedly.
Qi Wenhan and Lin Yi couldn’t help but look at each other. This old fox wasn’t easy to deal with at all. He didn’t show any flaws since he came in. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was a cunning old fox.
“Fine. If that’s the case, shouldn’t you return the three hundred thousand spiritual jades as compensation?” Qi Wenhan said in a deep voice.
“Return?” Wei Zhaotong’s brows raised, the corner of his mouth curved into a mocking arc as he said,”Business is business. Master Qi, don’t tell me you’re treating this business as a game?”
“What do you mean?” Qi Wenhan’s heart sank.
“It’s very simple. Your bodyguard agency was delayed for an entire month before the goods were delivered to the Fang Family Village. This has caused great damage to the reputation of our Hong Chamber of Commerce. For the sake of our old friendship, I haven’t even settled this debt with you. You actually have the nerve to come and collect the compensation?” Wei Zhaotong curled his lips and sneered.”Back then, it was clearly written in black and white on the contract. If anything happens, you have to compensate at the original price. Master Qi, you’re not treating this contract like child’s play, are you?”
Every word and sentence made it sound as if it was only natural. It felt like things were supposed to be like this. Even Lin Yi was speechless, not to mention Qi Wenhan.
“Alright, since you insist on saying this, then I will not say anything else. The original contract stated that if the sealed package could not be delivered, then we will compensate at the original price. However, we have delivered it now. It is just that we are a little late. Moreover, Fang bi Wu did not have any objections. Shopkeeper Wei, if you still want to compensate at the original price, isn’t that a little too unreasonable?” “It’s a loss to waste time, but it’s not a big loss,” Qi Wenhan said righteously.”Shopkeeper Wei, you can’t just insist on 300000 spiritual jades. If word gets out, it won’t be nice.”
Hearing this, Wei Zhaotong’s expression finally changed slightly. Qi Wenhan’s threat wasn’t without a reason. If this matter were to spread, Wei Zhaotong’s reputation as a greedy man would be solidified.
It was understandable for businessmen to pursue profits, but to him, the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, this would also affect the reputation of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. If shadow group Hong found out about this, they would definitely conduct an in-depth investigation. It was hard to say how the situation would develop by then.
However, since the spiritual Jade had already been swallowed by him, Wei Zhaotong, it would be harder than ascending to heaven to get him to spit it out. If Wei Zhaotong really cherished his feathers that much, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve already submitted the three hundred thousand spiritual Jade compensation to the Nakajima headquarters. I can’t return it even if I want to. Master Qi, you should give up on this idea.” Wei Zhaotong finally made up an excuse.
“What? “You …” Qi Wenhan almost couldn’t catch his breath. He was so angry that his hair was standing on end. He had just sent the 300000 spiritual jades as compensation yesterday, and Wei Zhaotong said that he had handed it over to the Nakajima headquarters today. The damn Hong Chamber of Commerce had such heaven-defying efficiency?
“Men, send the guest away.” Wei Zhaotong laughed coldly and immediately served the guest tea to send him off. He didn’t give Qi Wenhan any chance to speak and directly turned to leave.
“Yes.” The servant who was guarding the door immediately ran over to Qi Wenhan and Lin Yi and said respectfully,””Everyone, please return.”
“You guys …” Although Qi Wenhan wasn’t a simple-minded person, he was so angry that he almost couldn’t hold back his anger. There were witnesses and evidence, and he came to settle the score with Wei Zhaotong. He didn’t expect that Wei Zhaotong wouldn’t buy it at all, and instead, he was angry. No one could accept such a cruel fall!
“Good! Very good! Let’s go!” Although he was furious, Qi Wenhan did not lose his mind. He could only suppress his anger, drag the trembling pirate leader, and lead the way out.
After all, this was a branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. If they started a fight here, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Hong Chamber of Commerce. The Qitian bodyguard agency was a powerful local in the Xiao Luo Sea area, but compared to the Hong Chamber of Commerce, which was a behemoth that ruled over the five Sky Class islands, they were not on the same level. If they really started a war, they might be annihilated in minutes. (The novel “the school Belle’s personal bodyguard” will have more new content on the official WeChat platform.
