"Not bad at all!"
Taking a closer look at Lin Ya’s actions, a hint of surprise flashed in Cao Ying’s eyes.
Previously, he had noticed Lin Ya sitting here.
To be honest, he didn’t pay much attention.
He thought she was just another pretty face.
Now he understood that wasn’t the case; she was truly skilled in this field.
Seeing the surprise in Cao Ying’s eyes, Hu Xiaobei remained indifferent, merely looking calmly at the exquisite cup in his hand.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei heard Cao Ying speaking softly, "Master Xiaobei, earlier, a few of my unruly subordinates were left here by you. When I leave, you must let me take them, otherwise, it’s a waste of your resources here, and I wouldn’t feel right about it."
Hearing Cao Ying’s request, Cao Wei and the others looked toward Hu Xiaobei.
They wanted to know how Hu Xiaobei would respond.
Hu Xiaobei put down the cup in his hand and said calmly, "Since you’ve asked, of course, I won’t refuse, but there’s something that needs to be clarified first."
"Here it comes!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, Lin Ya knew that Hu Xiaobei was about to ask them for compensation...
"Oh? What might that be?"
Hearing Cao Ying’s surprised inquiry, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and said calmly and confidently, "It’s nothing much, just about discussing compensation. Previously, they frightened quite a few of our people here, so we need some compensation for mental distress. That shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?"
"Damn it!"
When Cao Wei heard Hu Xiaobei asking for money, he wanted to flip the table over.
In his view, this was pure nonsense.
Even if compensation for mental distress was needed, it should be Hu Xiaobei paying them, because those captured by Hu Xiaobei were the ones really frightened!
However, he didn’t dare to voice this, as he knew he wasn’t qualified to speak.
"Of course, it’s not too much to ask. It’s only fair. What’s the amount for this mental distress compensation?"
Glancing at Cao Ying, Hu Xiaobei quickly gave a number, "Five million!"
"Five million?"
Upon hearing this figure, Cao Ying’s expression changed slightly.
He didn’t expect Hu Xiaobei to open with such a high figure.
Seeing Cao Ying’s expression change, Hu Xiaobei quickly added, "You don’t look too well! It seems you’ve misunderstood me. The five million I mentioned is not what you think; I meant five million per person. There were over ten people I detained, so it should be over sixty million in total. How about this, just give me sixty million in total."
"Sixty million? Why don’t you just go rob a bank!"
When Cao Wei heard the number Hu Xiaobei mentioned, he stood up and roared in fury.
He had been holding back all along.
But now, he couldn’t hold back any longer!
He thought Hu Xiaobei was truly insane...
Hu Xiaobei glanced at Cao Wei and then looked at Cao Ying, "Family Head Cao Ying, your subordinates are quite rude! Do you want me to help you discipline them? This kind of disrespect shows a lack of proper upbringing."
Cao Ying heard the sarcasm in Hu Xiaobei’s words, looked at Cao Wei, and opened his mouth in a gloomy tone, "Apologize."
"Family Head, I..."
