Chen Ping heard Mu Jinyu's words, looked at his retreating figure, her eyes filled with suspicion and doubt, and did not dare to take immediate action to make a phone call for help.
She feared this was just another one of Mu Jinyu's tormenting tactics, that the moment she took out her phone, he would charge at her again, and give her another brutal slap across the face.
"Aren't you going to make the call?!" Mu Jinyu walked away from the cashier counter, glanced back at her, and spoke indifferently, "If you don't make the call, then I'm going to hit you."
The battered Chen Ping, upon hearing these words from Mu Jinyu, immediately shivered and clumsily fumbled for the gun in her pocket.
At the same time, she lowered her head to hide the venomous look in her eyes, thinking to herself, 'You're asking for it. Just wait until I get people here, and I'll see you kneel and beg for mercy!'
While her heart was filled with vicious curses, she didn't dare to be so bold in her speech. After getting through to someone on the phone, she said, "Hey, Dayong, hurry up and bring your guys over. Something happened here, I need you to come over, yes, yes, yes, hurry..."
She did not utter a harsh word, nor did she even recount how she had been ceaselessly mistreated.
"Heh..."
Seeing her making the call, Mu Jinyu let out a meaningful chuckle, then suddenly spun around and punched the wooden cashier counter.
"Boom!!"
A loud bang followed, and the old cashier counter was instantly smashed into sawdust by Mu Jinyu's blow.
Chen Ping, witnessing this scene, stood there in a daze, her heart feeling as though it was being seized by a powerful hand, and she even found it difficult to breathe.
Is this Mad Dog even human?!
For the first time, Chen Ping began to doubt whether her husband's men could handle Mu Jinyu.
"Boom!!"
Just as Chen Ping was dazed, another loud bang suddenly sounded, scaring her to the point where she almost had a heart attack.
She snapped back to reality and hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see Mu Jinyu, after having obliterated her cashier counter, not stopping there, but moving on to smash other things in her shop—tables, chairs, and even the refrigerator used for storing beverages, and so on...
Chen Ping watched this unfold, heartbroken, yet she did not dare make a sound to stop Mu Jinyu's rampage.
She deeply regretted provoking Wen Rou.
Then, she thought, she needed to call the police immediately.
Whether her husband and his men could handle Mu Jinyu or not, calling the police was definitely the right move.
If they could subdue him, when the police arrived, they would charge Mu Jinyu with intentional destruction of property, and he'd have to compensate her for the losses and then spend some time behind bars.
But if they couldn't take down this Mad Dog... then calling the police would be just in time to save them...
Three minutes later.
Chen Ping's small establishment was now in complete disarray, with almost everything smashable having been destroyed by Mu Jinyu.
And thus, the grudge Chen Ping held for the havoc wreaked on Wen Rou and her restaurant by her own minions was partially avenged.
"Finally done."
Mu Jinyu dusted off his hands, feeling the endless rage that had built up in his chest dissipating considerably.
He then turned to look at Chen Ping, whose eyes were filled with fear, and asked impatiently, "Why haven't they arrived yet? I'm freaking itching for it!"
"It... It should be about ten more minutes?" Chen Ping said with a quivering voice.
In her heart, she cried out frantically, hoping he would not vent his anger on her any longer, sobbing inwardly...
Mu Jinyu however, had no intention of continuing to beat this fat woman; he was bored of it.
Realizing he had to wait another ten minutes, he suddenly had a bright idea and started walking toward Chen Ping.
"What… what are you going to do?!"
Chen Ping, fearing Mu Jinyu was preparing to hit her, leaned back against the cold wall, unable to retreat further, and asked with a trembling voice.
"It's nothing, just asking for compensation," Mu Jinyu said with a light laugh, very amiably.
"Demanding compensation?!"
Chen Ping, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, was so angry she almost fainted.
Fucking hell, I was beaten by you to near death, and my shop was smashed into a total mess, and now, you actually have the nerve to ask me for compensation?!
Do you even have a conscience?!
You beast!
Mu Jinyu's face suddenly turned stern, and she said coldly, "Of course, you sent people to smash my friend's shop. Shouldn't you pay compensation?!"
"I..." Chen Ping's voice rose several pitches, but meeting Mu Jinyu's icy gaze, it weakened, "You... you also smashed my shop, right?"
"I smashed your shop?!" Mu Jinyu asked, looked around, and spread her hands innocently, "When did I ever smash your shop? You can't spit blood and falsely accuse me of ruining your shop!"
"You?!"
Chen Ping, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, was so furious she almost spat blood.
She really hadn't expected this guy to be so despicable and shameless.
And because she wanted to save money, there were no surveillance cameras in her shop. That was also why she only sent people to smash Wen Rou's restaurant and didn't go there herself to clean up.
It was because there were no surveillance cameras inside the shop; she was afraid someone might steal the money without her knowing.
But now, it had become Mu Jinyu's excuse for being shameless.
As for the people standing at the door enjoying the drama, they probably hated her guts already. Would they testify for her?
Chen Ping knew that was impossible.
But... could it be that her shop had to be ruined by Mu Jinyu for nothing, and she even had to compensate her with money?!
"So, you don't want to pay the money?!"
Mu Jinyu, seeing Chen Ping trembling with her flabby flesh, seemingly very angry, her eyes turned icy, said hauntingly, "Then pay with your life."
"Pay with my life?!"
Chen Ping, looking at Mu Jinyu's cold eyes, shivered, feeling a chill all over. Despite her unwillingness, she quickly shouted, "I'll pay, I'll pay the money..."
"That's more like it, stop dilly-dallying!" Mu Jinyu, seeing her comply, snorted, "Hurry it up!"
"How much do I have to pay?" Chen Ping asked in a suppressed voice, enduring the humiliation.
"Do you even need to ask? Tables and chairs, twenty thousand, bowls and spoons allow you ten thousand, plus the sterilization cabinet, thirty thousand, and the person you injured, let's call it forty thousand. In total, one hundred thousand..."
"One hundred thousand?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was dumbstruck and nearly couldn't help but stand up and accuse, 'Are you fucking robbing me?!'
But she guessed that, even if she did ask, Mad Dog's reactions would be either, one, to beat her up, or two, to reply, 'I'm fucking robbing you, so what?!'
"Don't want to pay anymore? Thinking of going back on your word?!" Mu Jinyu, seeing Chen Ping's reaction, glanced at her and said indifferently.
"I'll pay, I'll pay..."
In the end, Chen Ping endured it.
She was thinking that once her husband came over with his men, she would definitely make him cough up everything he had taken, and when the police arrived, she would charge him not only with the crime of intentional damage to property but also with extortion!
Chen Ping, holding back her heartache, used her phone to transfer one hundred thousand yuan to Mu Jinyu.
She consoled herself that this was also evidence.
After they had finished all this, coincidentally, the entrance was filled with the sound of hurried footsteps, "Wife, where are you? What happened?"
Then, a worker wearing overalls and a red safety helmet appeared with a large group of workers brandishing various tools, stormed into the messy Fly Restaurant.
