Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing
Chapter 105: A Game Within a Game
Whether to seek treatment or give up, Huijun won't dwell on this question for too long.
She had been stranded in Southeast Asia for five years, taking care of her daughter who was in a vegetative state for five years, and she couldn't possibly give up now.
The medical expenses amounted to 2.5 yuan.
As they left the hospital, Huijun said to Zhao Jing, "I envy you so much. Over the years, what has caused me the most pain is not despair, but endless hope."
Perhaps this sentence gave Zhao Jing some inspiration. She realized that no matter how much the two of them tormented Zhang Kai, everything would return to square one after seven days. One of them would have to continue to face endless bills, and the other would have to continue to be immersed in the grief of losing their daughter.
So they wanted Zhang Kai's family to experience the same pain.
After the two discussed it, they returned to the shop. Huijun said that she would release Zhang Kai once he had the money.
These words gave Zhang Kai a sudden glimmer of hope. After all, his current identity outside was that of a prisoner who had already been executed. As long as these two women let him go, he could continue living in another country.
"Okay, let me go now, and I'll go get you some money right away."
Zhao Jing tapped the stool: "You didn't let Xinyi off the hook back then either."
Zhang Kai leaned back in his chair helplessly, his eyes losing hope once again.
"You used Xinyi to swindle money from the people around her back then, and now I'm going to make you do the same."
Zhao Jing began to threaten him.
Huijun added from the side, "I can see that you are very filial, otherwise you wouldn't have left so much property to your mother and your sister. Now I only need to take a small portion from them."
Zhang Kai nodded: "Two days, I can get you the money in two days. How much do you need?"
Zhao Jing handed him her daughter's file and asked, "How much do you think our two daughters' lives are worth? How much is the suffering they endured worth? And how much money is your mother willing to spend to redeem you?"
As she spoke, Zhao Jing put a pen into Zhang Kai's mouth and told him to write it himself.
Zhang Kai, with a pen in his mouth, kept scribbling on the paper, finally leaving behind a string of numbers.
Ten million yuan.
He seemed to think that would be enough to satisfy both mothers, but Zhao Jing slapped him across the face: "Not enough!"
So Zhang Kai lowered his head again and drew an arc on the number 1.
Forty million!
Another slap followed. Zhao Jing said, "Deal."
The next day, Zhang Kai called his mother, but as the mother of the boss of the telecom fraud park, Sister Zhang showed a very strong awareness of anti-fraud. She hung up the phone before Zhang Kai could finish speaking.
With no other option, the two best friends had to first knock Zhang Kai unconscious with electricity, and then record a video on their phones.
Zhang Kai was unaware that he had been resurrected and only had seven days to live. He thought that by escaping from here, he could start a new chapter in his life, so he cooperated fully, pleading for help in the video and demanding a ransom of 40 million.
Huijun followed Sister Zhang with the video and discovered that she had come to a charity organization called Tai Chi and claimed that she would donate all of her son's assets.
As they received praise from the believers, Sister Zhang and Huijun looked at each other. Sister Zhang froze on the spot, while Huijun smiled.
When Huijun met up with Zhao Jing at home, she said she felt something was wrong. Sister Zhang had just donated one million yuan and claimed it was all her assets. She suspected that Tai Chi Association was actually her money laundering organization.
After discussing it, the two hit it off and set another trap for Zhang Kai.
The two chatted in front of Zhang Kai without any attempt to hide their conversation.
"What did his mother say?" Zhao Jing asked.
Huijun walked in from outside the door: "His mother doesn't believe it."
Zhang Kai frowned and interjected, "How could that be? Didn't you show her the video?"
"She said our video was fake, but I think it's because her mother is unwilling to pay the money."
Zhao Jing snorted and said, "I was worried that this would happen, and his mother already knows that Zhang Kai is here, so she might call the police."
The two worked together, saying that even if Zhang Kai was arrested after Sister Zhang called the police, as a death row inmate, he would only die again. But the two of them stealing from a death row inmate was an absolutely serious crime, and they could be sentenced to several years in prison.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to get rid of Zhang Kai and run away beforehand.
At this point, both women turned fierce and picked up machetes and saws. Zhang Kai quickly begged for mercy, saying that his mother wouldn't call the police; she just didn't believe he was still alive. She promised to give him money to save him if he could prove he was alive.
Zhao Jing asked, "How should we prove it?"
Zhang Kai's solution was to find a newspaper from that day, stick it to his chest, and re-record the video.
Zhao Jing and Zhang Kai did as instructed, recorded the video, and then left the shop.
What Zhang Kai didn't know was that they had no intention of releasing the video at all.
The next day, Zhao Jing deliberately called Huijun in front of Zhang Kai.
"Not 40 million? How about 20 million?"
"no?"
"Does she think I can't bring myself to do it?"
Zhang Kai felt increasingly panicked and tried his best to turn his head and ask, "What exactly did my mother say?"
Zhao Jing replied coldly, "She said she has no money."
"No money? How could you possibly have no money?"
"How would I know? You tell her."
As she spoke, Zhao Jing handed the phone to Zhang Kai, and Hui Jun's voice came from the other end of the line:
"Well, your mom said she's being watched closely and doesn't have that much money on hand, so she asked us to give her another ten days or so."
"Wait for what? Are you waiting for your mother to call the police and arrest us?" Zhao Jing scolded Zhang Kai as she listened to the phone conversation.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jing continued her psychological maneuvering.
"Now that all your money is in your mother's hands, it doesn't seem to matter much whether you live or die; they never intended to save you!"
Zhang Kai remained silent for a long time, then asked in a deep voice, "Do you know anything about cryptocurrency?"
"What cryptocurrency?"
"You know Bitcoin, right? You can ask my mom to give you 40 million worth of cryptocurrency, she can definitely come up with it."
"That's too much trouble, we need cash."
Zhang Kai let out a heavy sigh after being rejected, looking quite helpless: "She's being watched very closely right now. It'll be troublesome for her to take cash or transfer money. You'll be watched too, but cryptocurrency won't be. It'll be very safe."
As expected of the park's boss, even though he was imprisoned, he was still able to try to persuade the other party to compromise.
Zhao Jing suddenly laughed. In fact, Zhang Kai's words were the real purpose of her and Hui Jun's scheme.
All the money Zhang Kai earned in the fraud park was actually hidden in cryptocurrency.
"You fucking tricked me into telling this. Anyway, just tell my mom this, and that's the right thing to do."
Zhang Kai, with his limited knowledge, could tell from Zhao Jing's expression that he had been deceived. However, given his current situation, he had no other choice but to continue compromising.
However, a voice that followed immediately made Zhang Kai's heart tighten again.
"How are you going to tell your mom?"
Turning my head, I saw that it was Huijun walking in from outside. It turned out that she hadn't left at all!
