He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Tiger clutched his head in despair and screamed, "I'll tell you! It was Ma Zhitao who hired me! He paid us 7000 yuan to sail this boat and secretly go out to sea with you."

"I'll find another chance to ram your ship and sink you all into the sea to feed the fish!"

"I'll do it for the money!"

He Zhenzhen said angrily, "It's Ma Zhitao again! Is he so reckless? Bayi, I suggest we find him. Even if we don't kill him, we should cripple him. We hate people like him the most!"

Niu Bayi's face also turned cold, and he gritted his teeth.

"Looks like Ma Zhitao didn't learn his lesson last time."

Then, he chuckled at Tiger Brother.

"You guys are working so hard for just 7000 yuan?"

Tiger said bitterly, "7000 yuan is...not a small amount."

Little did he know that Ma Zhitao had asked the person behind him for a full 50000 yuan.

He had originally planned to give Tiger 10000 yuan.

But then I thought I should try to negotiate the price, and I actually managed to get it down to 7000 yuan.

In other words, Ma Zhitao was really something else. He didn't have to do anything, just run errands and talk a lot, and he earned 43000 yuan.

He also got his revenge.

How cunning!

Niu Bayi quickly came up with an idea.

"What's your name again?"

To avoid being beaten to death, Tiger said in a humble voice, "I... my name is Xu Sanhu, everyone calls me Tiger, but..."

As he spoke, he raised his voice again.

"Boss Niu, you can call me Brother Tiger, or you can call me Little Tiger!"

His words caused the people around him to burst into laughter.

Xu Sanhu is already in his forties, yet he still asks young people in their twenties to call him Little Tiger.

Niu Bayi didn't stand on ceremony and spoke earnestly.

"Little Tiger, do you think you should atone for your sins? After all, you sank my boat and almost killed us. These are all serious crimes. You have to repent, don't you?"

Xu Sanhu was stunned.

Chen Liuqi didn't hold back and kicked him in the butt.

"I'm asking you to repent, but you're unwilling to repent, huh? Fine, this matter isn't over."

This kick sent Xu Sanhu spinning 180 degrees on the spot.

He clutched his backside, screaming with heart-wrenching pain, "I...I'm willing to repent! I promise to repent! How can I atone for my sins, Boss Niu? Just tell me, whatever you say, I'll do it!"

Niu Ba nodded: "That's right. First, take out the money Ma Zhitao gave you as compensation."

Xu Sanhu didn't dare to delay and quickly scrambled and stumbled into the cabin.

The group kept staring at him.

He then took out a thick stack of banknotes from a hidden compartment in the cabin.

This is not just 7000 yuan, it's close to 8000 yuan.

Without saying a word, Niu Bayi snatched the money.

"You think I only asked you to pay 7000 yuan? You must be mistaken. Pay whatever you have. Even if you didn't sink my boat, my whole hold of swimming crabs is worth more than that."

Then, Niu Bayi came to divide the money.

He slipped 2000 yuan to each of Chen Liuqi, Su Puyue, and He Zhenzhen.

Chen Liuqi was stunned: "Bayi, this... I can't take this money. Even if I sell the swimming crabs, I won't get this much money."

Su Puyue said, "That's right, I... I'm just here to experience life, I don't want the money."

He Zhenzhen also frowned.

"Bayi, I'm your wife, shouldn't I take this money?"

Niu Ba stared wide-eyed.

"Take them all, Brother Liuqi. Logically speaking, you wouldn't get this much money after selling these swimming crabs, but the situation is different now. You've been through a life-or-death ordeal with us and almost fell into the sea and drowned."

"Therefore, you must keep this 2000 yuan as compensation."

"Puyu, so what if you're just experiencing life? You still get a share of the money. As for Zhenzhen, don't even mention her. She's my wife. I'll give you the money, so just keep it."

The three had no choice but to put the money in their pockets.

Xu Sanhu was almost in tears.

"This is my money! This is my money!"

Chen Liuqi glared at him and was about to kick him again, which frightened Xu Sanhu so much that he quickly shouted.

"I don't want my money anymore! I don't want my money anymore!"

Niu Bayi tugged at Chen Liuqi, looked at Xu Sanhu, and said with a smile, "Xiao Hu, you are indeed quite well-behaved. You know your mistakes and can correct them, which is a great thing, but just paying money isn't enough."

Xu Sanhu was shocked.

"What else do you want me to compensate you for? You're not going to ask me to give you this ship too, are you? It's just a broken-down ship, worthless, it's been scrapped for ages, but it's still my last bit of wealth."

Niu Ba pursed his lips.

"Don't worry, I won't take this ship. I wouldn't even look at it. The second thing I want you to do isn't to make you pay anything back, but to tell me what will happen if you succeed in doing this—"

"They've wiped us all out, how are we going to explain this to Ma Zhitao?"

Xu Sanhu had nothing to hide, so he began to tell the story.

Ma Zhitao's request was quite simple: after ramming Niu Bayi's boat, spread the news.

They say a boat capsized at sea, apparently belonging to Niu Bayi. They want to spread the news as widely as possible so that everyone knows.

Ideally, we should run there in time and retrieve the body.

If we could catch Niu Bayi, that would be even better. We could tie him up and bring him to our side.

He needs to teach this guy a lesson.

Niu Bayi was very perceptive and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Why did Ma Zhitao ask you to spread the news that we rammed and sank?"

Xu Sanhu shook his head.

"I don't know either."

Niu Bayi stroked his chin.

"Moreover, he can come up with 7000 yuan to let you drive the boat and sink my fishing boat... As far as I know, although he has some money, it's not much. This 7000 yuan is probably most of his current net worth."

"Is he really willing to give that up?"

Xu Sanhu shook his head, continuing to indicate that he didn't know.

He Zhenzhen and Niu Bayi were truly on the same page, and she immediately asked.

"August 1st, could it be that Ma Zhitao is so rich that someone else is paying for him?"

This is like a wake-up call.

Niu Bayi's expression turned somewhat gloomy.

Then, he clapped his hands.

"Tie me up and send me to him. I want to see what he's up to. Anyway, I won't ask you for compensation for my fishing boat; I'll ask him for compensation instead."

"If you cooperate well, you might be able to get some more money from him to make up for your losses."

Xu Sanhu, who had been looking dejected, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this.

"Boss Niu, you're right. Fine, I'll do as you say. That damned Ma Zhitao, he didn't even tell me how powerful you are, but he made me ram your boat, ruining my life..."

"You've ruined my life, I've fallen into your trap, I've lost everything, I have to get compensation from him!"
