Chapter 2591 — Not Smart Enough

"Wei Zhao, I've put a million yuan of phone credit on your account. You've got to keep your word—time to send me that data, isn't it?" Right Coiled Tiger asked.
"You're the one who paid it?" Wei Zhao broke into a sweat. He'd only been fobbing Right Coiled Tiger off with a joke—he hadn't expected the fellow to take it seriously. "I was only joking with you!"
"I wasn't joking. Hurry up and send me the data. If you don't, I've kept the payment receipt, and I'll tell Leader Bai you cheated a fellow student!" Right Coiled Tiger said anxiously.
"Fine, fine. The earlier data, right? I'll have Jingjing send you another copy." Still, Wei Zhao found it odd. Right Coiled Tiger clearly already had a copy—why spend a million yuan for another? Did the man have so much money he didn't know what to do with it? So he asked, "What happened to the data I sent you before?"
"The earlier data... I was clumsy and deleted it by accident!" Right Coiled Tiger was too embarrassed to admit he'd been robbed, so he claimed he'd deleted it by mistake.
"Oh." Wei Zhao didn't press further, thinking to himself that Right Coiled Tiger really was a piece of work—one clumsy move and a million yuan was gone.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao called Han Jingyi and had her send Right Coiled Tiger another copy. When Right Coiled Tiger received the email, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Good things really do come after many trials!
Right Coiled Tiger opened his phone and was about to download the message when his expression suddenly changed and he cursed aloud: "What the hell! It's an email! An email! Not a text message!"
Right Coiled Tiger discovered that the email Han Jingyi had sent earlier was still sitting there in his cloud mailbox. He staggered and nearly fell to his knees. Why hadn't he thought of that before? His own intelligence really was a bit on the chicken-catching side. A million yuan—just gone, like that. And the cruelest part was that he'd even agreed on the spot to some baffling request from Zhao Qibing, promising that Wei Zhao would break his legs for him!
Right Coiled Tiger still had no idea how he was supposed to make that happen. If he begged Wei Zhao, there was no telling what fine thing he'd have to hand over—the man was like a vampire, never letting fly the hawk until he saw the rabbit. But what could he do, when he needed a favor from him?
With a mournful sigh, Right Coiled Tiger got into the car and drove off with Yellow Hair and Purple Hair toward the Hidden Right Family estate.
Originally he'd planned to ask his grandfather for the million once he got home, but now he didn't dare bring it up. What he'd done was far too foolish. Right Coiled Tiger could only grit his teeth and cover it out of his own pocket money.
The journey back to the Hidden Right Family went smoothly enough. After Old Master Right read the data, he was full of praise, repeatedly telling Right Coiled Tiger what a fine job he'd done, trading for a treasure beyond price. The material was exceedingly precious, and it gave Old Master Right a great deal of inspiration.
