Li Caiyi was furious.
As if it wasn't enough for them to kidnap Li Chunhua, they also beat up Dai Zhiqiang so much. Dai Zhiqiang kept his promise by shielding her sister, and Li Caiyi was relieved to see Li Chunhua was okay. However, her friend took a lot of damages because of that.
Li Caiyi seemed to understand a bit why Dai Zhiqiang adamantly refused to receive her help. Feeling indebted to someone wasn't a good feeling. The guilt for involving a third party and possibly causing loss to them in the process made one feel terrible. She had to think of something to make it up for Dai Zhiqiang later.
But first, she had to put these 'adults' in their place. What were they so proud of by ganging up and bullying teenagers like this?
It was the first time she had felt so much anger since finding out about her father's affair. She had been frustrated, holding it all by herself with no way to vent her anger, and those accumulated anger now exploded.
Li Caiyi didn't wait for the bossman to give an order and walked towards him herself.
"Xiaoyi, what are you doing?!" Li Chunhua wanted to rush over but was stopped by Dai Zhiqiang. She glared at him angrily. "Get out of my way!"
It was a lie if Dai Zhiqiang said he wasn't worried, but he believed Li Caiyi wouldn't do that without a plan at all. Even if she had no plan, he wouldn't let anything happen to her either way.
"I'll take care of the man near the door, so you run first," He whispered to her.
"I won't go anywhere without Xiaoyi! If you are so scared, then you can get lost!"
Dai Zhiqiang didn't know that talking with Li Chunhua was this frustrating. She sounded like a different person than a reasonable girl he met at the school every day.
"I will stay here and keep your sister safe, but I can't do anything if they catch both of you. At least one of you has to get out of here first and call for help."
"This wouldn't happen if you called for help from the beginning and didn't bring Xiaoyi here. It was all your fault!" Li Chunhua retorted, unwilling to back down.
Dai Zhiqiang's blood pressure rose upon hearing that. She hadn't even said a word of gratitude to him yet, and now she threw a tantrum on him? He just wanted to tie her up and throw this spoiled girl off of the building.
Oblivious to these two small fights, Li Caiyi stared at the bossman coldly. "Say your price."
The bossman was stunned for a moment but later chuckled heartily. "You just arrived, and you want to leave so soon? It hurts my feelings."
"Cut the charade, and let's talk about business. What's your price for letting us out of here unscathed?"
"Listening to you, I dare to guess you are the older twin? You seem level-headed and easier to talk to," the bossman retrieved the agreement paper from the floor and waved it in front of Li Caiyi. "You can check all the terms and conditions first, then we talk."
Li Caiyi snatched the paper and read it. Sure enough, it was all about money.
"What is the guarantee of you letting us out of here safely? As far as I am concerned, you can still order your subordinate to hold us captive, even if I sign this agreement."
"I'm an exemplary businessman, and I have never violated an agreement or contract before."
If Li Caiyi believed that, then she might as well have knocked her head to death here. "I don't trust businessmen. Especially your kind."
"Then you can also put down any condition you want. That should be fair enough to you, right?"
Li Caiyi thought about it for a moment. She had to make a careful decision here.
While. she was thinking, her eyes glimpsed upon the glass fridge on the corner of the room. An idea came to her mind, and her mouth curved up in a playful smile.
"Then, how about we make a bet?" Li Caiyi smiled.
"A bet?"
"Yes. Using that." Li Caiyi pointed at the glass fridge, making the bossman frown in confusion.
"What do you want to do with that?"
"Let's have a drinking contest."
Silence fell in the room after she said that. Everyone looked at Li Caiyi as though she had lost her mind. The bossman thought she was just playing around with him and was incredibly irritated.
"Little girl, what are you plotting this time? It couldn't be this is another trick of yours to delay time?"
"Why? Are you scared?" Li Caiyi smiled meaningfully. "I don't think you have anything to be afraid of, though? I'm just a minor who had never taken a sip of alcohol before. This bet would end in the blink of an eye, and you will still have plenty of time to flee. If you fulfill this condition, then I will trust you and sign the agreement."
The bossman's frown deepened. He didn't understand the purpose of making this ridiculous bet. As she said, she looked like a minor who had never had a taste of alcohol before. Even if she was one of those naughty kids who liked to try adult stuff before the appropriate time, there was no way she could beat him in terms of drinking.
Actually, he could just force her to sign, and everything would be settled quickly, but his pride wouldn't allow him to back down after being taunted by a little girl. Aside from that, he was interested in figuring out what trick this girl had on her sleeve.
"Why not? I would feel honored to have a pretty young lady to accompany me for a drink." The bossman gave a signal to man D to take out the drinks.
"Xiaoyi…" Li Chunhua bit her lips anxiously while Dai Zhiqiang watched how Li Caiyi talked to the bossman with an unyielding gaze. He was also worried for her, so he gripped his knife tightly, ready to attack whoever dared to lay a finger on her.
Dai Zhiqiang watched her closely but found himself distracted by her provocative smile. He liked Li Caiyi's sweet self, but he also liked it when she acted firm and naughty.
"Why don't you release them first? As long as I'm here, you don't have any use for them, right?" Li Caiyi asked.
"No, can't do. I can't let anyone leave until you sign the agreement. This is my bottom line, little lady."
Li Caiyi shrugged her shoulders and watched how the subordinate put down bottles of wine and beer cans on top of the table. There were at least 10 bottles and dozens of cans in that fridge.
When everything was prepared on top of the table, the bossman pushed a can to her. "Ladies first."
Li Caiyi looked down at the can in front of her, then at the two subordinates. "Why don't you ask them to join as well? If one of you beat me in this contest, I will double the sum you wanted me to pay."
Her offer surprised the bossman. He was suspicious, but the thought of getting more easy money clouded his judgment. The bossman thought there was no way they could lose, so Li Caiyi didn't even need to convince him twice, and he already beckoned his subordinates to join them.
With a victorious smile on his face, he said, "You'd better not regret this."
Facing his expression full of greed, Li Caiyi just smiled.. "I should say the same to you."
