"Come twice, compensate a hundred billion?"
Everyone, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, had an array of different expressions on their faces, each more brilliant than the last.
Some people thought that it was just a matter of being cursed at a funeral by Mu Jinyu and having the women by their side mocked a few times; there was really no loss, nothing that hurt their dignity, yet it could be exchanged for a hundred billion.
Very much worth it!
Yet there were those who would never agree to Mu Jinyu's demand, no matter what!
Allowing Mu Jinyu to do this a few times, what face would they have left to call themselves powerhouses amongst Capital City's elite families?!
Mu Jinyu, noticing a few people whose expressions showed some interest, said with a light smile, "Don't worry about me not being able to produce a hundred billion. Jinyu Group is mine, the Beauty Pill is my product. Do you really think I can't come up with this amount of money?"
"What?!"
"Jinyu Group is his?"
Everyone had originally thought Mu Jinyu was just the Old Dragon King's son and did not doubt his wealth, but they were skeptical whether Su Zijin would give him that much money.
But now, upon learning Mu Jinyu was the president of the company selling the hottest product, the Beauty Pill, in recent times, they naturally no longer doubted whether he could pull together such a massive sum of money.
Subsequently, some people looked up the information online and discovered that Mu Jinyu was indeed the chairman of Jinyu Group and owned the majority of the shares. Thus, someone hesitantly said, "Why don't we just…"
He had not even finished speaking.
"Slap!"
The eldest son of the Li family slapped him across the face.
"If you dare speak such words again, I'll cast you out of the family!" the eldest son of the Li family said with a threatening tone.
Seeing this, the man naturally dared not say anything more.
Although, in his heart, he truly thought it was very much worth it.
The eldest son of the Li family hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Mu Jinyu, "Young Master Mu, forgive my bluntness, but your demand is too hard for us to meet. The Li family's total assets amount to only a hundred billion, and most of those are real estate. We simply cannot afford to give you a hundred billion in compensation."
When Young Master Li heard his father's words, he stared at him in utter disbelief.
His father's words were clear—they, the Li family, would not be paying a hundred billion to compensate Mu Jinyu. And if Mu Jinyu wanted to kill him, then just do it; he really wanted to see if Mu Jinyu dared to murder someone!
Of course, these were words he couldn't explicitly say, but everyone present was no fool; they understood perfectly well.
Instantly, Young Master Wang, Young Master Zhou, and Young Master Wang all looked at their arriving family members with eyes full of terrified pleading.
Hoping they would agree to Mu Jinyu's demands.
They had no doubt that if their family members didn't compensate Mu Jinyu, given his madman-like temperament, they really might end up killed right there on the spot!
They were still young, with so much of their lives yet to live; they didn't want to die!
"Not giving it, huh? Truly a waste of my time." Upon hearing the refusal from the Li family member, Mu Jinyu didn't show any sign of disappointment. With an indifferent expression, he was ready to deal with Young Master Li and then leave the Li family in ruins, with not a single survivor!
"Tat-tat-tat …"
Just then, another sequence of hurried footsteps was heard outside the door.
Mu Jinyu paused mid-action and looked up to see who from the families had arrived.
But what he saw was Su Zijin and Gu Xiyan arriving.
Mu Jinyu's expression stiffened for a moment before he understood. It must have been signaled secretly by Zhou family members or Wang Changge when he spoke with the Li family members that they had notified Su Zijin to come over.
In this scenario, it would be difficult for him to go on a killing spree in front of Su Zijin and the others.
Wang Changge thought the same and, seeing the somewhat stiff expression on Mu Jinyu's face, felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
Su Zijin had arrived, and now, even if he truly harbored a murderous intent toward Young Master Li and the others, and even dared to kill, it wouldn't be appropriate to do so in front of her mother and wife, right?
"What's the matter, why the sudden commotion, are you alright?"
As soon as Su Zijin stepped in, she didn't even glance at the people from the other four families but looked at Mu Jinyu with a worried gaze.
Upon seeing Mu Jinyu was not injured, but that the several individuals under his feet appeared quite miserable, she immediately felt relieved.
Then, she quickly asked Mu Jinyu what had happened.
Mu Jinyu glanced over everyone with a cold eye before starting reluctantly to recount the events of yesterday and today to Su Zijin and the others.
Of course, he naturally omitted the obscene language spewed by Young Master Zhou and his group.
After hearing everything and seeing that no one countered, Su Zijin realized that the events were true.
Her face immediately turned extremely ugly.
To think that at her own father's funeral, a few profligate youths harbored lewd thoughts toward them and, after leaving the funeral parlor, dared to speak of them in public.
If they hadn't known, it might have been one thing, but they made the mistake of letting Mu Jinyu catch them in the act, and after Mu Jinyu cleaned their clocks, they actually planned to come after him, so it was no wonder Mu Jinyu was prepared to fight their families to the bitter end!
"Lady Su, it is indeed as such. This matter stems from our poor discipline, but they don't deserve to die for it. And your son is asking for a hundred billion in compensation, which we can't produce at the moment. This truly seems a bit too much to ask..."
At that moment, Wang Changge also chimed in timeously, hoping that Su Zijin would be reasonable as usual and help mediate the situation.
Lest Mu Jinyu actually go mad and kill these four, then the entire Capital City would erupt into a significant upheaval, and although Mu Jinyu might be the Old Dragon King's grandson, daring to kill in the streets and disregard the law, he would absolutely be unable to escape the consequences!
Thus, he was also helping Su Zijin!
"Can't compensate a hundred billion? Then liquidate everything. Just sell all that can be sold, and that's it!"
Wang Changge and the others were waiting for Su Zijin to help mediate, yet when Su Zijin, the current Head of the Su Family, spoke, she also demanded they pay the full hundred billion in compensation, or even go as far as to liquidate their assets!
Wang Changge and the others were instantly stunned on the spot!
They had expected Su Zijin to help moderate the situation...
But instead, she was there to side with Mu Jinyu!
Su Zijin turned back, her face no longer showing the timidity, grievance, gentleness, and goodness she had when facing Mu Jinyu, but instead it was filled with cold indifference. She sneered, "If you can't come up with a hundred billion for our compensation, then don't blame the Su family for being unkind to you!"
"Of course, we won't stoop to killing, but..."
"Over the years, in my free time, I've established quite a few corporations, some you know of, some you don't. Including many collaborations with your family corporations. If I push down hard, I indeed stand to lose a few hundred billion, but you'll be losing even more. We'll see who has the last laugh!"
Su Zijin said with a cold laugh.
This tactic from Wang Changge might have been very effective against members of other families, possibly making them settle for a few billion, but it meant nothing to Su Zijin.
She always felt she owed Mu Jinyu a lot, so how could she, for the sake of the bigger picture, ask Mu Jinyu to hold back and just take a few billion from them to call it even?
That would be too cold for Mu Jinyu's heart!
After all, he did so much solely to defend their honor.
Now that she, as a mother, was aware of it, naturally, she had to help him regain face and vent this anger for him!
