Chapter 96: 096 got hit and run by a bird, let’s see who’s more hooligan [Shelf Notification] Chapter 96: 096 got hit and run by a bird, let’s see who’s more hooligan [Shelf Notification] Reputation loss?

Tang Yunxian was a cultured man who couldn’t learn the art of sharp and harsh criticism, but the mockery in his eyes, laden with a sense of looking down on others from a high position, was even more piercing to the heart.

“As long as I sue you, it won’t be good for your company either. Once the stock price falls, it’ll be much more than just a hundred thousand or so,” Zhang Defu said with the brazenness of a dead pig not fearing boiling water, even taking a bird teasing stick and beginning to bother Hua Mei.

The bird had already been tormented by Jiangjiang all morning and was exhausted.

Poked a couple of times by Zhang Defu, it initially chirped a few times, but then, its voice grew fainter.

“A hundred thousand?” Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang had already walked into the front yard during this conversation.

“How did you come out here?” Tang Yunxian frowned.

“Hua Mei is hardly calling anymore. I’d advise you not to poke any further. If it simply falls over or dies, I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford the compensation,” Tang Wan scoffed lightly.

“Just a worthless bird…” Zhang Defu didn’t finish his sentence before he saw the bird, which had been perching on the sunning bar, suddenly tilt its neck and fall down stiffly.

Jiang Jinsang raised his eyebrows slightly. Was this…

Playing dead, a shakedown?

The main problem was the poor technique; it looked rather clumsy.

Having been in the Tang Family for so long, Jiang Jinsang naturally knew that the old master trained birds, and this trick of playing dead had been performed many times before him.

“A worthless bird? You should know that my grandfather had raised this bird for a very long time, and he spent a million on it back in the day,” Tang Wan scoffed lightly.

“Such a broken thing for a million?” Zhang Defu had visited the old residence before and had seen this bird countless times, never finding anything special about it.

“Is it… dead?” Tang Wan raised an eyebrow, “A Hua Mei of this quality is priceless nowadays. Plus, it was my grandfather’s companion for so many years. If it’s gone and my grandfather can’t get angry about it, he might get seriously ill…”

“Hospitalized, hospital bills, emotional distress compensation, plus the bird’s worth, I estimate it won’t be under two million!”

“You little scoundrel, stop fooling me!” Zhang Defu reached out to grab the birdcage, but was stopped by Jiang Jiu’s outstretched hand.

He had been beaten by Jiang Jiu in the hospital before; with his natural stern look and sunglasses, Jiang Jiu stood between him and the birdcage, and he didn’t dare to move forward.

“This damn bird is clearly playing dead, didn’t you all see? Just now it was fine, and then suddenly…” Zhang Defu said in exasperation.

“Playing dead? Everyone saw you poking it. Now that the bird is lying down, you don’t want to take responsibility?” Tang Wan approached the birdcage, tapped it slightly, and used the bird teasing stick to touch it a few times; Hua Mei indeed didn’t move, “You see for yourself, is it dead or not?”

“You’re trying to run a shakedown using a bird?” Zhang Defu raised his eyebrows, “And damn it, with a bird no less? Do you think I’m a fool?”

Tang Wan snorted coldly, “If you’re not foolish, then you should also know what kind of behavior this is of yours.”

“Reputation loss? Starting with a hundred thousand or so, you’re the real extortionist!”
