Chapter 228 The Most Expensive Backpack in History
Lei Wanjun said, ”You liar. The Xuanyuan Pavilion is a special department of Huaxia. How can it be a gang?”
Qin Haodong said with a smile, ”Nice to hear that. Then how about we talk in a reasonable way?”
”It's fine. I'm quite a reasonable person.”
”Then that would be easy.” Said Qin Haodong as he took out of a stack of debt bills. Then he asked Lei Wanjun, ”Please take a look. These bills were written by a member of the Xuanyuan Pavillion. They each owe me 10 million, except for one that got a 50% discount. That would be 45 million in total. They should pay me back, am I wrong asking them for the money?”
Lei Wanjun's expression froze; however, as one of the elders of the Xuan Department of the Xuanyuan Pavilion, he knew he couldn't go back on his words after he said he would be ”reasonable”. He turned back and asked Lei Tianrui, ”Did you sign the bills?”
They looked at each other and then admitted by lowering their heads because the words and papers were just there, and there was no way for them to deny.
”Grandpa, we signed the bills.”
Lei Wanjun said, ”Then shut up and give the money back to him!”
”Okay, I will!”
Lei Tianrui was going to deny the 10 million debt because he didn't see the debt bill coming out when they were trying to get the treasures. Under the circumstance, he had no other option but to take out his phone and pay the debt.
Xie Zidan paid his 5 million after that. Soon, Zhao Qiankun, Dong Sihai, and Wang Yuancheng paid 10 million each.
After Qin Haodong received the money, Lei Wanjun looked at him and said, ”Now the debt has been paid. What do you say?”
Qin Haodong nodded with satisfaction, and then took the backpack off his back. Then he said, ”Then let's keep talking in a reasonable way.”
”The bag is mine. I said there were no treasures in it but you wouldn't believe it. How about I sell it to you? Then I'll have nothing to do with it. That would be fair enough right?”
”Well...” Lei Wanjun wasn't sure about what was in this backpack, so he turned back and looked at Lei Tianrui.
Lei Tianrui insisted that the treasures Qin Haodong and Hu Xiaoxian got were in the backpack, so he said, ”Sure, how much?”
”Since you said that there are treasures here; treasures would be a little expensive. A hundred million yuan, not a penny less.”
”One hundred million? Isn't it too much?”
Lei Tianrui said it perplexedly. He might come from a rich family, but he had been ”blackmailed” by Qin Haodong all along the way. A hundred million was all he had in his bank account at the moment; he would be broke if he spent it all.
Qin Haodong said, ”Not a penny less. You said that all the treasures are in it. You can have it you pay the hundred million, or you can just forget it.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”Lei Tianrui, I told you there was nothing in that cave, neither was in this bag.”
The more the two said it, the more Lei Tianrui thought they were trying to cover up. He thought they were trying to scare him away with a hundred million yuan. He then ground his teeth and said, ”Then that's the deal. If I paid you a hundred million yuan, you shall give the backpack to me.”
Qin Haodong said, ”Of course, we've got all the elders witnessing. I never cheat in any of my dealings, and I'm a man of my word.”
Lei Tianrui said, ”I'll pay the hundred million yuan. Now give me the backpack.”
Qin Haodong said, ”Not now. What if you take the bag and refuse to pay after you find nothing in it? What am I supposed to do to you on Mr. Lei's watch? He's so powerful.”
Lei Wanjun's face turned sullen. He asked, ”What did you say? I am an elder! Are you saying I'll repudiate your debt?”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, ”I didn't say that, but if you want it, you have to pay it first. I can't go anywhere on your watch. Ms. Hu can be my witness, and she will never allow me to play any tricks.”
Lei Wanxi turned to look at Lei Tianrui and asked, ”Are you sure you want to buy it?”
He was implying if Lei Tianrui was sure there were treasures in the backpack.
”Don't worry, grandpa, they must've hidden them in the backpack. Now they're just bluffing.” Lei Tianrui took out his cellphone and asked Qin Haodong, ”I'll pay for it, but don't you touch the backpack from now on.”
With Lei Wanjun there, he no longer worried if Qin Haodong would play tricks anymore. He transferred one hundred million over and asked Qin Haodong proudly, ”What do you say now?”
Qin Haodong smiled after he received the money. He took two steps back and said, ”Deal. Now we've cleared our business. This backpack will be all yours now.”
Qin Haodong looked quite relaxed, without a single clue of reluctance on his face. Lei Tianrui had a bad hunch. He grabbed the backpack over and unzipped it. The first thing he grabbed out was a diaper, and the second one, a diaper, too.
He was dumbfounded. As he kept taking things out of the backpack, he saw pacifiers, bottles, and toilet paper.
Lei Tianrui looked so reluctant and couldn't believe that he had just paid a hundred million for. He kept digging and nothing came out. The backpack was already empty, without a thing in it.
He cried out crazily, ”That's impossible! The treasures, where did you put them?”
He used to see the backpack as a treasure, but it turned out not to be. There was no trace of treasures in it at all.
Qin Haodong said sarcastically, ”I said there was no treasure in it, but you insisted. Who's to blame?”
Hu Xiaoxian also said, ”I told you there was nothing in the cave! Why would you think there was anything in the backpack? The Japanese ninja was an idiot! And so are you!”
”No way. That's impossible. You must've hidden it elsewhere.”
Lei Tianrui still couldn't believe what had happened. He insisted that Qin Haodong had treasures.
