Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 195 Hush Money

Zhu Zhuqing was moved when she saw Yuan Hailan being so overwhelmed by Dai Mubai's gaze that she couldn't even stand up straight. She thought to herself that she had made the right choice.

Seeing Dai Mubai pinned to the ground, Ma Hongjun was terrified. Remembering that Ning Rongrong was with them and considering what he had just said, he immediately stood there silently like a quail, behaving like a good little boy.

The reason why Dai Mubai's martial soul could still sense it was because Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul had only just begun to change; otherwise, it wouldn't be a connection between martial souls at all.

However, Dai Mubai did not recognize Zhu Zhuqing either, only vaguely recognizing her.

Yuan Hailan only pinned Dai Mubai to the ground because she was considering Zhu Zhuqing. Otherwise, Dai Mubai wouldn't have been so lucky; at the very least, he would have been beaten up.

Disturbed by her good mood, Zhu Zhuqing lost her appetite and said, "Hailan-ge, Rongrong, let's go!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing got up and left, and Ning Rongrong followed her. Yuan Hailan looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Kid, watch your step next time."

...

After Yuan Hailan and the other two left, Dai Mubai was quickly helped up by Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun asked, "Boss Dai, are you alright?"

At this moment, Dai Mubai's face was gloomy. He had lost face big time today, and in front of Ma Hongjun no less. If word got back to the academy, he would lose all face.

Dai Mubai then warned with a gloomy face, "Ma Hongjun, if you dare to bring today's events to the academy, see how I deal with you later."

Seeing Dai Mubai's expression, Ma Hongjun quickly assured him, "Boss Dai, don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense. You know I'm the most loyal and honest person."

Dai Mubai nodded and said, "That's good. You'd better remember what you said."

Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly, then said with a grin, "But, Boss Dai, you see, if you want me to stay silent, don't you have to give me some benefits? I still need this hush money."

Dai Mubai was genuinely afraid that Ma Hongjun would reveal it, because his willpower was questionable due to the Evil Fire Phoenix!

Dai Mubai asked, "So how much hush money do you want? But let me make this clear beforehand, I don't have any more than that!"

Upon hearing that there really was hush money, Ma Hongjun chuckled and said, "Boss Dai, look at what you're saying. Given our relationship, you definitely won't ask for more. I won't take the money. For example, you can treat me to something like last night's incident twenty or thirty more times."

"What? Twenty or thirty times? You might as well go rob someone! Do you know how much it costs each time? You're asking for the moon!" Ma Hongjun's appetite shocked Dai Mubai.

Ma Hongjun countered, "Then, Boss Dai, how many times is appropriate?"

Dai Mubai thought for a moment, deciding he should give Ma Hongjun some incentive. After considering it, he said, "I can only treat you five times at most, no more than that."

Ma Hongjun objected, saying, "Boss Dai, this is too little. Do you think face is more important, or money? At least fifteen times, no less. I've already cut it in half."

Dai Mubai shook his head repeatedly, indicating that it wouldn't work. After some haggling, they finally agreed on a suitable number of times.

So Dai Mubai said, "Let's both compromise, ten times. Any more than that, and I'll just lose face and we'll break up."

Ma Hongjun also felt they should stop while they were ahead, otherwise they might end up losing everything. He nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, let's do it ten times as you said, Boss Dai!"

Actually, Ma Hongjun was overjoyed at this moment. Although he was shocked by Yuan Hailan today and was a little frightened, he did not expect to gain such a great benefit from Dai Mubai. It was truly a case of "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise"!

Originally, Ma Hongjun's request for benefits and hush money was just a way to kill two birds with one stone; he would be happy if he got them, but he wouldn't lose anything if he didn't.

Ma Hongjun knew that Dai Mubai valued his reputation, and he had just lost face in front of him today. He only wanted to use this incident to get some benefits from Dai Mubai, but he didn't expect that Dai Mubai was so concerned about his reputation that he made a huge profit.

Thinking about all this, Ma Hongjun felt incredibly happy and was in a great mood.

After the terms were agreed upon, Dai Mubai warned again, "Ma Hongjun, if you dare to go around spreading rumors after taking my bribes, I'll castrate you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly assured him, "Boss Dai, do you think I'm untrustworthy? You can rest assured, as long as you deliver on your promise, I guarantee I'll keep it a secret. Even in my dreams, I won't tell anyone."

After receiving the assurance, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun returned to Shrek Academy together.

...

After the incident involving Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong lost interest in shopping and prepared to return to Lanyin Village.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong realized that Shrek Academy would officially start classes tomorrow, so she decided not to go back to Blue Silver Village with Yuan Hailan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's conflicted expression, Yuan Hailan thought of something and said, "Rongrong, your two classmates said that when you came to our house yesterday, you didn't greet Shrek Academy properly. It will be difficult to explain if you go back like this. Why don't you come back to Blue Silver Village with us? Then you can ask my dad to take you to see the dean of Shrek Academy. They have a good relationship."

Hearing Yuan Hailan's words, Ning Rongrong was delighted. She had been troubled by this matter before, wondering how to explain it when she returned to Shrek Academy!

So Ning Rongrong happily said, "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Hailan. When we get to Blue Silver Village, I will ask Uncle Yuan to take me back to Shrek Academy."

...

After returning to Lanyin Village, Yuan Hailan took Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to find Yuan Changqing, and then told him about Ning Rongrong not returning home the night before.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Changqing said, "Rongrong, you really didn't handle this well. You should know that if something had happened to you after you left the academy alone, Shrek Academy would have been in serious trouble. Your father, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo would have wiped out Shrek Academy!"

Ning Rongrong explained, "No, Uncle Yuan, I hadn't thought of any of this. I now realize that I didn't consider things carefully. I heard from Brother Hailan that you have a good relationship with Dean Flander, so I came to ask you to help me smooth things over at Shrek Academy."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Alright, but this is a one-time exception. You must think more carefully before doing anything in the future."

"Okay, Uncle Yuan."
