Following Bao Zhanhai's command, the previously crowded property management office was now left with only five people: Chu Ge, Li Nan, Ye Li on the sofa, the property manager kneeling on the floor, and Bao Zhanhai sitting on a chair opposite Chu Ge.

"Mr. Chu, let's talk. How do you want to resolve this issue? Let's have a peaceful discussion; as long as your demands are within my power, I'll try to meet them."

If anyone saw the scene at this moment, they would surely doubt their own eyes and ears. Could the notoriously hot-tempered Brother Leopard actually be so refined, addressing Chu Ge so politely, and taking the initiative to reason with him?

Chu Ge grinned; his smile was as radiant as sunshine, yet it seemed to say, "Why didn't you do this earlier?"

"Brother Leopard, right? Since you're being so open, I don't want to make things difficult for you. Let's just set three conditions."

The property manager on the floor felt even worse. Initially, Chu Ge only had one demand to bring in the perpetrator, but in such a short time, one condition became three. Now, he could only hope the three conditions wouldn't be too outrageous.

Bao Zhanhai was thinking the same as the manager, and he replied somewhat politely, "Please go ahead, Mr. Chu."

"First," Chu Ge held up his right index finger, "find me every single one of the bastards who hit my sisters."

Bao Zhanhai nodded without hesitation, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu. This can be done easily."

To the property manager, those workers were merely the lowest-level tools for making money. If Chu Ge needed, Bao Zhanhai wouldn't even mind sacrificing the property manager for Chu Ge's venting, much less care about the workers' lives.

"Second, my two sisters were beaten and frightened, and their clothes were damaged. I want some money for medical examinations, emotional distress, and clothes."

Chu Ge raised his right middle finger as well. "I'm not asking for much, just 500,000 yuan per person. Is that alright?"

As Chu Ge spoke the first half of the sentence, Bao Zhanhai thought Chu Ge was reasonable. But when he heard "500,000 yuan per person," his face twitched, and he cursed internally.

What the hell, is this a joke? Those two little girls just took a few punches and kicks each, and Chu Ge dares to ask for a million? How are they so valuable? Are they inlaid with diamonds or something?

Damn it, if taking a few hits could get that much money, anyone would be willing. Where else in the world can you find such a good deal?

"Snap"

The phone in the manager's mouth fell to the ground; his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He hadn't intentionally meant to spit out the phone. He was simply shocked stupid by Chu Ge's demand.

In reality, it wasn't just the property manager who was dumbfounded; even Li Nan and Ye Li were questioning their own ears.

What does it mean to ask for the moon? Clearly, this is it; Chu Ge was demanding way too much, wasn't he?

"What, is this request difficult?"

Even though Bao Zhanhai's expression turned ugly, and the atmosphere became tense, Chu Ge kept smiling. When the manager dropped the phone from his mouth, Chu Ge glanced at him with a smile.

That glance, though seemingly harmless, made the manager's scalp tingle and his already uncomfortable forehead broke out in a cold sweat, with chilly winds blowing at his neck.

Even though Chu Ge didn't say anything, he quickly picked up the fallen phone and stuffed it back into his mouth.

He didn't want to talk; yes, very much so. However, Bao Zhanhai tossed the ball back to him, squinting as he asked, "Director Lu, what do you think of Mr. Chu's request?"

Hearing Bao Zhanhai speak out, the unfortunate Director Lu's face grew even worse, with large drops of cold sweat streaming down his cheeks like a line.

Yet, as the saying goes, those who are pitiful often have something contemptible about them. Not only did Chu Ge feel no sympathy, even Bao Zhanhai couldn't muster any pity for him.

In most people's eyes, "Brother Leopard" Bao Zhanhai is nothing but a hot-headed brute or a reliable tool for his boss, but the fact is, he's not foolish. He knows when to take a stance and when not to. If he must make a stance, he knows to choose the right time and method.

Like Zhang Fei embroidering, there's finesse within the roughness. Bao Zhanhai isn't the simple-minded, brute force person others believe him to be. To put it more bluntly, if he truly had no brains, he wouldn't be of such use to his boss.

If Chu Ge had asked for 10 or 20 thousand, he could have agreed immediately. But since the amount involved a seven-digit figure, he couldn't just nod easily. His boss might not lack money, but it's not his call to make decisions so casually.

Among the five people present, only Ye Li's mouth twitched slightly, showing some reluctance and hesitation, but after a moment of hesitation, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

Director Lu's heart was filled with such anxiety that words couldn't describe. He pitifully glanced at Chu Ge, conveying the message that he couldn't speak with a phone in his mouth.

Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Your buddy Leopard is asking you a question, why are you looking at me? Take out your phone and say what's on your mind."

Since Chu Ge put it that way, Director Lu's fleeting hope was completely dashed, and he could no longer pretend to be ignorant.

"Mr. Chu, this... this number is really too large, if it were around ten thousand, I could make the call."

Director Lu said cautiously, originally planning to offer no more than a thousand compensation, but somehow from his own mouth, it inflated ten times. He still wasn't sure if the other party would agree, which was quite ironic.

Chu Ge laughed even more joyfully, chuckling out loud a few times, and then with a face full of mockery, he gently patted Director Lu's face.

"Ten thousand? Are you trying to chase off a beggar? How can you even say that? First, you condone and shelter the assailant, then you ignore consumers' rights and protests. Now I make some reasonable demands, and you're dodging and stalling with me?"

"Mr. Chu, I was wrong, I really was wrong." Faced with Chu Ge's gaze, Director Lu was almost about to cry.

"Alright then, don't admit your mistakes to me just yet. Since you feel I'm asking for too much, let me explain, ignoring what I mentioned earlier..."

With a mocking snort, Chu Ge lifted his hand and pointed at Ye Li's faded jeans.

"Do you know, these jeans were worn by Zhang Ziyi, and it took quite a bit of effort for me to get them from an auction?"

Hearing this, Li Nan almost burst out laughing. Speaking lies with such seriousness and flair was indeed a skill.

Bao Zhanhai nearly snorted in anger, thinking, "Damn it, Zhang Ziyi? Why don't you say they were worn by the Queen of England? And really, does Zhang Ziyi have such a slender figure? Is this guy going to claim next that Li Nan's leather shorts were worn by Zhang Huimei?"

After talking about Li Nan's jeans, Chu Ge indeed pointed at Li Nan again, "Does this outfit look familiar? Worn by Zhang Huimei during a concert, and now your people have ruined it. Do you still think a million is too much?"

Faced with Chu Ge's aggressive questioning, Director Lu thought how wonderful it would be if he could just faint now. Unfortunately, despite his racing heart and oxygen-deprived brain, he was as alert as ever.

Director Lu stammered and couldn't utter a word, while Bao Zhanhai cursed to himself, "Damn it, I actually guessed this correctly?"

Feeling not only upset but unable to stand it any longer, Bao Zhanhai lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and switched the topic.

"Mr. Chu, he really can't make the decision on this, and even I have to consult with our boss. Why don't you tell us your third condition?"

"The third condition..." Chu Ge stroked his chin, a slight smile on his lips, raising the ring finger of his right hand. "I want a different property company for this neighborhood."

Director Lu's head had already hung low, but hearing Chu Ge's voice, it jerked up in an instant, looking at Chu Ge with an incredulous face, suddenly speechless, only to utter two words in an extremely doubtful tone, "What?"

As for Bao Zhanhai, his face couldn't look any worse at the moment. Although he was somewhat prepared, believing that Chu Ge's third condition would be more atrocious than the second, he didn't expect it to be so ludicrous.

"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't catch what you said. Could you please... repeat your third condition?"

Bao Zhanhai took another drag on his cigarette, forcibly suppressing the urge to pick up a chair and smash it toward Chu Ge, flicked the cigarette butt to the ground, ground it with his foot, leaned slightly forward, squinted at Chu Ge, his gaze filled with a cold warning as if it was tangible.

"I said, get Hongxin Property out of this neighborhood. I find your company very disgusting. If you don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist coming over to smash up the place every once in a while."

Facing Bao Zhanhai's look, Chu Ge maintained a peaceful smile, speaking in an unhurried tone, as if he were not talking about wrecking someone's livelihood but discussing with a friend where to eat later.

Bao Zhanhai's eye twitched violently, as Chu Ge's voice continued, "I wonder, did Brother Leopard hear it clearly this time?"

"Mr. Chu, your joke is really not funny at all." Bao Zhanhai slowly stood up from the chair, looking at Chu Ge on the sofa from above, his tone becoming increasingly cold.

"Ha! I'm not that close with you, do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you?"

Chu Ge laughed exaggeratedly, turned his head and glanced at Li Nan, "Li Nan, the first time you saw me, did you also think I was a humorous person?"

When asked like this, Li Nan's face immediately turned a little red. The first time she met Chu Ge was truly a disaster, but she was also very grateful for that incident. If she hadn't bullied Ye Li back then, how could she have met such a charming man?

"Hey? I'm asking you a question, what's with the blushing? If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your default consent, okay?"
