The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 437 - 434: Beat Some More, Thousands of Yuan 16_1

Zhang Xiang remained calm. "Who else in your family needs compensation?"

How could Yang Wei even respond? He was practically only exhaling, struggling to draw a breath in.

Only then did Zhang Xiang calmly ask, "Xiaoya, your store has security cameras, right?"

Xu Xiaoya, jolted from her shock, hastily answered, "Yes, yes, we do... We have them everywhere..."

"Let me see..."

Zhang Xiang reviewed the security footage from the past few days. He then picked up the lawyer’s letter from the floor, skimmed through it, and said, "Yang Wei. Your name is Yang Wei, right? You’re demanding compensation, your mother is demanding compensation, and your maternal aunt is also demanding compensation. That makes three ’victims’ demanding compensation, correct?"

Yang Wei didn’t dare to reply, remaining splayed on the floor like a dead dog.

Just then, a clamor arose from outside.

Yang Wei’s mother and a group of women charged in. It turned out Yang Wei had sneaked out of the hospital. His injuries were merely superficial, not severe enough to keep him bedridden. He had intended to come out and extort some money, but Zhang Xiang had been waiting for this very moment.

When Auntie Huang heard her nephew had left, she feared he would cause more trouble and immediately sent her sister after him. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The moment Yang Wei’s mother saw her son collapsed on the ground, looking like a bloody mess, she burst into loud sobs. "My son, my son, what happened to you..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A group of aggressive-looking women behind her were about to charge in, but two burly men swiftly blocked their path and pulled down the store’s roller shutter.

It’s human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. When Yang Wei’s mother saw her son looking half-dead, and the menacing Zhang Xiang sitting calmly in his chair, her legs turned to jelly, and she almost collapsed from fright. "What... what have you done to my son?" she stammered, her voice trembling.

"Don’t worry, your son won’t die."

"What... what on earth do you want?"

Zhang Xiang stood up and replied nonchalantly, "I don’t particularly want anything. I merely investigated at the hospital and found out your son supposedly needs 100,000 yuan for medical expenses for three days. We don’t think he needs that much. So, to avoid wasting money, we’ve specially beaten him up to make sure he requires that full 100,000 yuan for treatment. After all, 100,000 yuan isn’t a huge sum, but society advocates for thrift, doesn’t it?"

Yang Wei’s mother was dumbfounded.

"Of course, your son was aiming for a million in medical expenses. So, tell me, should we continue beating him until he racks up a million in bills? We can offer a combo package deal, too. It’s entirely up to you. And don’t worry, we guarantee we won’t welsh on the payment. If it’s a million in compensation, we’ll pay a million. Not a cent less. If we accidentally beat him to death, we’ll compensate you five million. How about that?"

A combo package for beatings! If it weren’t for the gravity of the situation, Xu Xiaoya would have almost burst out laughing.

Yang Wei’s mother was nearly paralyzed with terror. "Don’t... don’t... please, don’t hit my son anymore!" she begged.

Zhang Xiang, however, remained unruffled. Only then did he get to the main point: "You’re Yang Wei’s mother, and Auntie Huang’s younger sister, correct?"

Yang Wei’s mother didn’t dare to answer. She just clutched her son anxiously, desperate to get him to the hospital immediately.

"There’s an ambulance waiting for you outside. This time, your son genuinely needs emergency hospitalization. And don’t worry, we’ve already paid his medical expenses in full. However, you need to tell your good sister to prepare herself. We have formally filed charges against your son for hooliganism, indecent assault, and robbery..."

Yang Wei’s mother shrieked, "What are you talking about? When did my son ever commit robbery?"

Zhang Xiang calmly played the surveillance footage for her, pausing it on the scene where Yang Wei was shown grabbing seven or eight bags and running out, with Xu Xiaoya chasing after him, leading to a physical struggle between the two.
