Ice Apocalypse (Season 1)

Chapter 180: Blackmail

Zhang Yiping calmly said, "Mr. Lu, don't make such jokes. Do you think I, a mere supervisor, have such great abilities?"
Lu Fengda snorted."Zhang Yì, I've lived for so many years, and I've seen more things than you can imagine. Do you think I would say this without evidence?""Let me tell you, through your mobile network, I can gather a lot of information about you."He stated decisively, "In your possession, there must be the batch of goods stolen from the Walmart warehouse!"A murderous intent filled Zhang Yiping's eyes as he gritted his teeth, cursing in his mind: Damn old guy! I must get rid of you!The Cloud Pavilion Manor truly deserved its reputation as the top wealthy area in Tianhai City; it was indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.This was something he hadn't considered and couldn't even think about. Oh, how unpredictable life can be!Zhang Yiping knew he couldn't hide the truth any longer and coldly stated, "I do have some goods in my possession, but most of them have been sold to raise money. After all, my home has limited space, and it's impossible to store too many things."Lu Fengda nodded in agreement, finding the explanation reasonable.In fact, he didn't believe that all the stolen goods from the Walmart warehouse were in Zhang Yiping's hands. In his logical framework, there was no such thing as space manipulation abilities."That doesn't matter. As long as I spread the news, your days won't be as good as they are now.""So, do you agree to my request?"Zhang Yiping knew that Lu Fengda had the ability to spread the news. He could potentially make everyone aware that Zhang Yiping had the stolen Walmart goods. Even if it didn't lead to trouble immediately, it might expose his space manipulation abilities.Zhang Yiping was aware that Tianhai City harbored many powerful forces, with influential figures hiding underground. They possessed formidable armed forces, including stationed troops and security personnel he knew of.Even with a powerful refuge, Zhang Yiping didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble.Rubbing his forehead, Zhang Yiping said to Lu Fengda with a stern tone, "Fine, I can provide you with some goods. But you absolutely must not reveal anything about this! Otherwise, I'll kill you first!"The jubilant Lu Fengda eagerly agreed, saying, "Rest assured, I'm not stupid. This matter will be known only to us, and we'll cooperate happily. Hahaha!"Seeing his goal achieved, Lu Fengda burst into laughter. Then, he began making demands, "I need food, liquor, and also underwear, cotton socks... You can bring these items to me."Zhang Yiping asked, "How should I deliver these goods to you?"After hesitating, Lu Fengda said, "I live in Villa 302. Deliver the goods to my doorstep! Don't try to play tricks, or I'll expose your information, making your life uncomfortable!"Zhang Yiping replied, "You can rest assured. I'm living a very comfortable life now and don't want to cause trouble for myself."After saying this, Zhang Yiping hung up the phone, his eyes filled with a terrifying murderous intent. He had been blackmailed!This Lu Fengda must die, there was absolutely no other possibility!The intent to kill permeated Zhang Yiping's mind. He wanted to rush into Lu Fengda's house immediately and take him out. However, reason told him that such an action was not practical.Lu Fengda, this cunning old fox, dared to disclose his address, clearly unafraid of Zhang Yiping's retaliation.Taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Yiping rubbed his temples. He realized he couldn't maintain composure at the moment; his thought process was overheated.Thinking this, he left the underground room and went to find Zhou Kè'er.Zhou Kè'er sat on the sofa in the living room, reading a book. She wore a light purple camisole, paired with shorts. Her two long, slender thighs overlapped on the sofa, and her fair feet were delicate and cute.Zhou Kè'er had a model's figure, and these two long legs were especially eye-catching, something Zhang Yiping admired the most.Approaching her, he covered her face with his hands from behind and gave her a deep kiss on the lips.Sweet and refreshing, delightful."Baby, there's something I need to talk to you about."Zhou Kè'er smiled, curled up her legs, and tilted her head, saying, "Sure!"Sitting down beside her, Zhang Yiping took the cup of water she was drinking and took a sip."It's like this: our current location has been discovered by someone else."He briefly explained Lu Fengda's situation to Zhou Kè'er.Of course, Zhang Yiping concealed the fact that he had emptied the Walmart warehouse. He simply told her that Lu Fengda knew he had a large quantity of goods, and thus, was blackmailing him. After listening, Zhou Kè'er also felt that the situation was troublesome.Zhang Yiping asked, "You have dealt with people like him more than I have. Based on your understanding, what do you think he will do?"Zhou Kè'er thought carefully for a moment before cautiously expressing her thoughts. "I have indeed encountered some characters like him. Perhaps they are not as cunning as ordinary people imagine, but their intelligence level is definitely high!"She looked at Zhang Yiping and added, "At the same time, their moral standards are quite low. A person with too high moral standards cannot become a successful businessman."Zhang Yiping nodded, "I understand that, of course."Many renowned entrepreneurs ended up in prison, and the dirty deeds behind the scenes were inevitable. Without a low enough moral bottom line, it was impossible to expand business successfully."I want to kill him. But I'm worried about what tricks he might have waiting for me. That's why I dare not take action.""But letting him live means I'll be blackmailed by him continuously. I absolutely cannot tolerate such a situation!"Zhou Kè'er nodded. She understood Zhang Yiping's temperament."The biggest threat he poses to you is that he has your information. The leakage of this information could potentially pose a threat to you, right?"Zhang Yiping nodded, "Exactly."Zhou Kè'er frowned, lightly biting her tender fingers, murmuring, "This could be problematic!""What do you mean?" Zhang Yiping asked.Zhou Kè'er looked at him, her eyes sparkling."I heard about something before. A big shot in the internet industry colluded with a corrupt official for mutual benefits. Later, when the corrupt official was investigated, it led to the big shot in the internet industry.""In order to eliminate evidence, the corrupt official went after the internet big shot, arranging for someone to kill him. But in the end, the evidence in the hands of the internet big shot was exposed directly on the internet!"Zhang Yiping said, "I think I've heard this story before. The internet big shot stored the evidence in a cloud drive and set up a program to automatically distribute it to the internet. Unless he personally operated it every day, the program couldn't be stopped.""So, when he died, the evidence spread across the entire internet the next day."Zhou Kè'er nodded, "That's what I'm most worried about! In other words, even if you kill him, it may not prevent our information from being leaked!"
