Shen Li generously took out two hundred - yuan bills and stuffed them into the young man's hands.
"A little token of my appreciation. Do you think it's enough?"
Hidden in the distance, Yun Fujin tightened his grip on the camera and carefully captured the moment when Shen Li put his arm around Teacher Lu and stuffed money into the young man's hands, fearing that the shot would be blurry.
The young man was a professional photographer. These things should have been done by him most properly.
But the Yun family was inconvenient to show up at the moment, so they could only rely on the young man. Yun Fujin was then pushed into the role of a cameraman on the spur of the moment.
The young man laughed awkwardly at the money Shen Li offered. "How embarrassing this is!"
While saying so, he honestly took the money.
These were two hundred - yuan bills! It would take him several months to earn that much.
This time, Yun Fujin got the recording he wanted, and the young man also got a good amount of extra money. He was grinning from ear to ear.
But Teacher Lu and Shen Qingqing felt uncomfortable.
Two hundred yuan was enough for their living expenses for three months.
If they were more thrifty, it might even last for another month.
Shen Li could be so generous to a stranger, but to them, he was extremely stingy.
"Then these oranges are for you. I can't take your money for nothing." The young man reached out to move the orange baskets from the cart.
"The oranges are not a big deal."
Shen Li suddenly spoke up, with a cold smile on his lips.
The young man sensitively smelled a hint of danger.
"Ahaha, what are you talking about? In business, there should be a transaction. If I take the money but don't give you anything, what kind of business is that?" The young man peeked into the yard. "Is it inconvenient for you to move them? I'll do it. I'll even give you the basket. I'll leave right after I'm done. I won't bother you with your business."
Shen Li looked at the young man calmly. "There's no need for such trouble. Besides, this money is not just for the oranges. Just give us the most important thing."
Shen Qingqing and Teacher Lu looked at Shen Li in confusion, completely out of the loop and not knowing what was going on.
The young man understood, and an alarm bell went off in his mind. He threw the money on the ground without hesitation and turned to run.
However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly emerged from nowhere and surrounded the young man, detaining him on the spot.
"Be honest! Don't move!"
A big and burly man at the front held down the young man.
He had a face full of stubble and looked extremely fierce.
His fists were as big as sandbags. If he punched, the young man would surely be knocked out.
The young man swallowed hard, trembling and not daring to move at all.
The man quickly found a tape recorder on the young man.
Shen Li looked at the young man with a smile but said nothing. Under his intimidating gaze, the young man lowered his head.
"Who instructed you? What were you trying to find out here?"
Shen Qingqing looked at the young man in shock and finally realized something.
The young man also knew that he was completely exposed.
He didn't dare to answer Shen Li's question. Looking at the big and burly men around him, he was so scared that he trembled and couldn't help shouting.
"Brother Yun! Brother Yun, save me!"
The moment Shen Qingqing heard the surname Yun, her suspicion was completely confirmed.
So they really came here to spy on information!
Besides being angry, Shen Qingqing also felt a bit sad.
It turned out that Shen Li took out so much money not for them, but just for his own reputation.
But no one would come to help the young man. Because the moment he shouted, Yun Fujin was also dragged out by several strong - built men.
Yun Fujin was also stunned.
He had no idea how these people had targeted him. Suddenly, he felt someone tackle him from behind, and then the young man was exposed.
"Brother Shen, they took photos!" the man holding Yun Fujin said.
He snatched the camera and handed it to Shen Li.
"But don't worry. This is the only camera."
Shen Li sneered and gave a crisp order.
"Smash it."
Several men stepped forward, smashed the camera and the tape recorder on the ground together, then picked up stones and smashed them hard until they were in pieces. They even cut the film into shreds with scissors.
"No! This is a camera!"
The young man shouted desperately.
The camera was too expensive, and it wasn't even his own.
Not to mention whether the young man could afford to compensate, if the boss found out that he had taken the camera out privately for other purposes, he would surely be severely punished!
Shen Li sneered at the young man and met Yun Fujin's angry eyes.
"You don't have to look at me like that. This is what you deserve! You must be curious about how I found out, right?"
Shen Li curled his lips contemptuously.
"I admit that you did a very covert job, but I'm not blind. I was flashed several times by the opposite rooftop in the corridor of the guesthouse. When I leaned out of the window, I saw you two whispering to each other. Couldn't I tell that you were secretly taking pictures of me? It's a pity that your plan failed."
Yun Fujin stared at Shen Li unwillingly. "Don't think you've won! We have other photos!"
"Shout all you want." Shen Li smiled proudly, as if he had everything under control. "Even if you took pictures, all you got were just some insignificant things. Otherwise, you would have reported it long ago. Could I still be standing here safely? It's because you don't have enough evidence that you had to take a risk to collect more evidence."
Despair filled Yun Fujin's heart.
It was really like the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole lurked behind. Who could have expected such a result!
"Brother, it's all taken care of."
Several men came back. "What should we do with these two? How about making them mute and breaking their hands and feet so that they can't speak, write or walk!"
The young man shouted in panic. "Who are you people! This is a society ruled by law. You're too domineering!"
Shen Li looked at the young man contemptuously and waved his hand.
"If we really maim them, we'll be in the wrong. Anyway, they can't cause much trouble. Just beat them up as a lesson."
Shen Li knew well that he shouldn't push people too hard, or they might fight back desperately.
These things were trivial to him, so there was no need to make a big deal out of them and get himself into trouble.
The several men received the order and dragged Yun Fujin and the young man away.
Before leaving, Yun Fujin still stared at Shen Li unwillingly, but Shen Li still stood there calmly, as if he was in full control of everything.
Then he turned to Teacher Lu. "What's wrong with you? You didn't even notice this?"
Cold sweat broke out on Teacher Lu's forehead.
After dealing with her eldest son, Teacher Lu informed Shen Li.
Shen Li was very satisfied with Teacher Lu's decisiveness, and Teacher Lu couldn't help having other thoughts.
