Chapter 935 - 927: The Terrifying Person
The news of Liu Rui releasing the hostage quickly reached Tao Ji. He called directly and questioned, "Liu Rui, what the hell do you mean? You take people’s money to do things for them. Do you feel comfortable taking the money I gave you and then letting the hostage go?"
Liu Rui could hear the strong hostility in his voice, but he replied unceremoniously, "Do you remember what you did last time at the Zero Bar? I saw it very clearly. Don’t think I don’t know about the harm you’ve done to others. The money you gave me this time can be considered hush money for the last incident!"
"You dare to secretly monitor me, Liu Rui? This isn’t over between us." Tao Ji said furiously.
"I don’t have the leisure time to monitor you. This matter was told to me by a few of your good brothers who hang out with you! You didn’t expect that, did you?" Liu Rui finished saying this and hung up the phone.
Tao Ji never expected that the other party would hold such a significant leverage against him. He could only accept his bad luck this time, considering the money wasted as buying peace of mind. After all, he’s not lacking those few bucks. Tao Ji could only console himself this way, and he knew that Liu Rui was unlikely to easily reveal such matters.
Neither he nor Liu Rui were particularly clean people. They had more or less done some illegal things, so he wasn’t too worried about Liu Rui going to the Police Department to inform them about anything. Things like this were mostly used as leverage to threaten the other party.
Moreover, Liu Rui alone has so many people under him. Where does the money come from if not by relying on wealthy people like them? They are all in a mutually beneficial relationship, and as long as things don’t escalate too much, generally speaking, they can coexist harmoniously.
The more contact he had with Liu Rui, the more he discovered that Liu Rui’s brain was not something ordinary people could compare to.
His IQ must be above 200, and his emotional intelligence should be high too. Even though he doesn’t like talking to people and always shows a cold face, how could he manage those underlings without some brains?
He remembered the last time he looked for Liu Rui, but Liu Rui wasn’t there, so he chatted with a few of Liu Rui’s underlings for a while. At first, they talked lively, with one bragging so much almost boasting himself to heaven, when suddenly the room fell silent.
Someone said, "The boss is here; let’s retreat." With that, they immediately returned to their original positions, while Tao Ji was still looking around for Liu Rui. Someone cautiously told him, "He’s about to come in. I just saw him parking from the window."
Tao Ji didn’t expect Liu Rui to have such a great deterrent effect. He could tell from their expressions that Liu Rui was usually a terrifying person.
When Liu Rui truly entered the house, Tao Ji noticeably felt a huge change in the room, as if the air suddenly solidified, the room temperature dropped to zero degrees, and those people didn’t dare breathe heavily. Tao Ji was quite scared by the situation.
