City: Signing in starts with getting mind reading skills

Chapter 15 Extortion

An hour later, Zhou Xiaoyu returned to the garden community where his home was located.

Instead of going home, he came to the shops facing the street in the community.

The laundromat opened by adoptive parents Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue is here.

Yesterday Zhou Xiaoyu learned from the memory of his elder sister Ling Ruoxuan that the laundry was in trouble, so he came to check the situation.

From a distance, Zhou Xiaoyu saw a large group of people in front of the laundry shop, and hurried over.

I saw the door of the store was wide open, but it was not doing business normally. There were a few squinted eyes, with cigarettes in their mouths, and it seemed that there were gangsters blocking the door.

"Do you know the brand of this dress? Let me tell you, Blue Lion Diton! It is a world-renowned luxury item. I am usually like a treasure, and I am reluctant to wear it. I didn't expect it to be damaged by you. Don't say anything, I will lose money." !"

The leader was a carefree, curly-haired man in his 30s, holding a wrinkled and shrunk white dress in his hand, and shouted arrogantly into the store.

Hearing this, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face and a middle-aged woman who looked shrewd and diligent in the shop were full of anger.

These two people are Zhou Xiaoyu's adoptive parents Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue.

As for Ling Ruoxuan, she was not in the store.

"When you sent this dress, you told us that it must be washed in cold water and not dry-cleaned. I asked you specifically that the fabric of this dress might not be suitable for washing. You said I didn't understand, and that your dress was special and could only be washed. Wash it with water, I did as you said, but if the washing is broken, you rely on us, isn't this blackmailing people?"

Ling Zhuangzhi said angrily.

Yang Caiyue also said angrily: "Before you brought people to harass my daughter several times, we just endured it for the sake of business. I didn't expect you to get worse and touch us again. Get out, or we will call the police!"

"Tch, who are you scaring!"

The curly-haired man said disdainfully: "You guys washed my dress, not only did you not pay for it, but you beat it back. You are really a couple of unscrupulous bosses. Let me just ask, you said that I specially emphasized that this dress should be washed in cold water. Is there a recording? Yes. Surveillance? Anyone prove it?"

Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue's expressions became ugly.

There was no surveillance equipment installed in the laundry, and when the curly-haired man delivered the suit, the two of them didn't know it was a conspiracy, so how could they make a recording in advance to leave evidence?

The curly-headed man sneered: "There is no evidence, empty teeth, who wouldn't make up nonsense."

He faced the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone heard it just now. The owner of the laundry shop said that I told them to wash my brand-name dress in cold water. What nonsense! Am I out of my mind? I want to deliberately wash my dress. Was it washed out?"

"That's right, what the boss said is too false!"

"The dress has shrunk so badly after washing that it can only be dry-cleaned. Who would tell the laundry to wash it? You won't tell a lie."

"Brother, I support you. The boss and the boss' wife just want to see that the laundry is ruined and don't want to lose money, so they deliberately shirk their responsibilities. They can't let them go."

……

Among the onlookers, several people spoke uprightly.

Ling Zhuangzhi and his wife were anxious and angry when they heard this. They were telling the truth, but others took it as a lie.

"Thank you for your support. It seems that justice is at ease."

The curly-haired man smiled triumphantly: "I have evidence for extortion. Here, here is the laundry receipt issued by your Lingyang Laundromat. It has the name of the dress, the delivery time, and a seal."

As he said that, the curly-haired man took out a receipt from his pocket, waved it in front of Ling Zhuangzhi and his wife, and said: "And I found out that you washed the dress when I got it back, but I didn't find out after I went back. So many friends can prove it, and now there are witnesses and material evidence, in order to protect my legitimate rights and interests as a consumer, you must compensate me!"

"That's right! Didn't you say that we are extorting money? Then call the police and see who is unlucky!"

The other gangsters followed suit.

Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue were full of indignation and had nothing to say.

"How much is this dress?"

After a while, Ling Zhuangzhi held back his breath and asked, intending to lose money.

Yang Caiyue became anxious when she heard this: "Husband, they plotted against us, why should they pay?"

Ling Zhuangzhi said helplessly: "I know, but there is no evidence now, the situation is not good for us, if we let them go on, will we still be able to do business? Sigh, you will gain wisdom from a pitfall, pay attention next time, this time it will be Bankruptcy is avoided."

Hearing this, Yang Caiyue had no choice but to keep silent.

The curly-haired man smiled even more proudly, and casually threw the dress to a gangster beside him: "Xiao Liu, tell these two bumpkins the price of my dress, and let them open their eyes."

"Okay, brother Lin."

The gangster surnamed Liu grabbed the trademark on the neckline of the dress, and said arrogantly: "You can see clearly, my brother Lin's dress is the latest broderie of Blue Lion Diton, a global limited edition, the price is 32 yuan!"

Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect this dress to be so expensive.

Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue's faces turned blue.

"It's just a dress, why so much money? You guys are extorting money on purpose!"

Yang Caiyue said angrily.

The curly man and the bastard surnamed Liu smiled contemptuously at each other.

The curly-headed man took out a receipt: "See clearly, bumpkin, this is my receipt for the dress, how much do you guys count?"

Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue stared intently, their whole bodies turned cold.

The amount on the invoice is indeed 32.

"There is an invoice, which proves that my dress is genuine, don't say I blackmailed you."

The curly-haired man lighted a cigarette leisurely: "But I'm a kind person, I'll give you a small change, only 30, lose money!"

"Losing money, or we will be rude!"

The other gangsters shouted one after another, full of momentum.

Ling Zhuangzhi and Yang Caiyue looked at each other, their faces pale.

30 million!

You know, the couple run a laundry shop almost all year round, working hard, and only earning more than 20 yuan.

All of a sudden, it was equivalent to losing more than a year's profit.

The most terrible thing is that the laundromat has just replaced new equipment recently, and the two of them don't have much cash in hand. If they want to pay for it, they can only sell the equipment, and then the business can't be done.

No business, what will the whole family eat and drink in the future?

Thinking of this, the two of them were heartbroken.

Yang Caiyue couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm back."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

The two were startled, only to see Zhou Xiaoyu coming out of the crowd and greeting them.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here? Both of us are... busy with things, you go home first, your sister is also at home, we will go back later."

Ling Zhuangzhi said calmly.

Yesterday he heard Ling Ruoxuan say that Zhou Xiaoyu was coming back today, and he was very happy at first, but he didn't expect Zhou Xiaoyu to come directly to the shop, and he rushed so fast.

Ling Zhuangzhi didn't want Zhou Xiaoyu to be involved, so he asked Zhou Xiaoyu to go back.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyu, Xiaoxuan is at home, are you hungry, let your sister cook you something to eat."

Yang Caiyue was also thinking the same, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears, and said while suppressing the grief in her heart.

"Uncle, aunt, I just watched."

Zhou Xiaoyu embraced the shoulders of the two, "You two don't need to worry about it, let me handle it."
