At this point, the surrounding crowd was already abuzz. Disdainful gazes and harsh words were all being aimed at Yu Yao, who was in the center of the crowd.
However, the surrounding students realized that the girl in the middle of the storm was still calm.
She nodded with a relaxed expression and said to the disheveled Gao Cheng, “I understand what you’re doing. You just want money, right?”
Gao Cheng endured the pain and laughed. “Haha… Since you know, why ask again?”
Yu Yao shrugged. “Okay, I can give you money.”
To one side, Yu Jue, who had been suppressing his anger, finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Yaoyao, let me deal with this scoundrel!”
Yu Yao rolled her eyes at him. “How are you going to deal with him? Are you going to beat him to a pulp in front of so many people? After that, he’ll go to the hospital and you’ll get sent to the police station. We’ll still have to pay for his medical expenses, so it’ll cost you!”
“B-but as your older brother, how can I just watch him threaten you?” Yu Jue said pitifully and indignantly.
“So you’re concerned about the problem of not being able to help? That’s easy. I’ll be useful to you soon.”
Yu Yao squatted down and took a phone from Gao Cheng’s pocket. She made Gao Cheng enter the password and then opened the payment code on the phone and approached Yu Jue.
“Give him five million yuan.”
The surrounding students gasped.
“Five million?!”
“So the situations you see in novels and television shows are real. Rich people can really easily fork out five million yuan for a breakup!”
In the eyes of most of the surrounding students, five million might not be a small sum, but it was nothing to Yu Jue. He immediately went to take out his phone so he could scan the QR code to transfer the money.
However, he could not find his cell phone even after searching all his pockets.
The female fan who had recognized her idol had experienced a magical event. She had seen the true colors of her idol and had also seen her idol’s sister. Although she was deeply shocked, she still could not give up her feelings for her true love.
When she saw his flustered look, she couldn’t help but remind him, “Um, brother… your phone got thrown like a brick at the start. It’s right beside your feet now.”
Yu Jue subconsciously said to the girl, “Thank you for the reminder, but don’t call me brother. My real sister is here!”
When he mentioned his sister, his pride overflowed. The little fan did not know what to complain about. Boohoo, what kind of a fool is he? How can he still be proud of such a sister?
It was obvious that the phone with the cracked screen could no longer be used. Yu Jue could not turn it on no matter what. He anxiously said to Yu Yao, “Yaoyao, I’ll think of another way.”
“Forget it.”
Yu Yao shook her head and sighed. She took out her phone and scanned the QR code to transfer the money. Then, she tapped on Gao Cheng’s phone and the sweet announcement of a five-million-yuan payment sounded.
After throwing the phone to Gao Cheng, Yu Yao asked, “Are you satisfied with this?”
Gao Cheng hurriedly opened his phone to check his balance, and his happy expression was revealed.
Of course, five million yuan wasn’t a small sum. However, when he saw Yu Yao easily sending so much, he felt that it wasn’t a lot.
If he could ask for more… Gao Cheng looked at Yu Yao and happened to meet her cold gaze. For some reason, he suddenly panicked.
He clearly wanted to increase the price, but what came out of his mouth was, “Enough, enough. I’ll send you all the photos and videos.”
“No need. What’s the use of those fake videos and photos?” Yu Yao’s lips curled into a cold smile. “I think it’s better for you to send them to the police directly so that they don’t have to collect evidence anymore.”
Gao Cheng’s expression froze. “Yu Yao, what do you mean?”
“You can’t even tell? Of course, I’ve already called the police,” Yu Yao said happily. “I don’t know how bad extortion and blackmail charges are, but I think five million should be worth spending a few years in prison, right?”
The surrounding students finally understood the true purpose of Yu Yao’s actions. They couldn’t help but exclaim, “F*ck, awesome…”
Someone whispered, “This woman is too ruthless!”
Someone nearby retorted, “It was clearly that man who threatened her with the photos and videos first. Why? Can’t she retaliate?”
Yu Jue finally realized what his sister had done. He felt his heart beating wildly.
In his heart, he quickly wrote: My sister is awesome! My sister is awesome! She’s so smart and quick-witted! She’s really my sister!
Gao Cheng was so frightened by Yu Yao’s words that he couldn’t help but tremble. He was stunned for a long while before he quickly turned on his phone and started to delete the photos and videos that You Yun had sent him previously.
As long as he destroyed the evidence, they would not be able to prove that he was extorting them. Yes, he had to delete them!
