"You said the medicine you gave me needed your antidote to be cured, so how come..."
Before he could finish, the green-haired man quickly stomped his foot and said urgently, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
The yellow-haired man realized he had misspoke and quickly shut his mouth.
But it was too late. Wu Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I just heard you say you took the medicine? Oh, I see, so you took the medicine yourselves and deliberately came to extort us!"
The faces of the yellow-haired and green-haired men changed drastically.
The green-haired man stammered, "You, you don't talk nonsense, when did we take the medicine? You're slandering me, I'll sue you!"
Wu Tian looked around at the crowd and said, "Everyone heard it, he said he took it himself. This isn't our problem, is it?"
The diners were not deaf; they had naturally heard the yellow-haired man's words.
In an instant, the truth was revealed, and the tide of events turned once again.
Everyone felt deceived, and they turned their anger towards the green-haired man, accusing him, "How can you be like this? Do you know you're extorting us?"
"You're young and haven't learned anything good, always resorting to petty theft and trickery. I think you're beyond redemption!"
"Everyone, call the police quickly and arrest these two scoundrels. It would be a service to the people!"
The yellow-haired man's composure was far inferior to the green-haired man's.
Seeing that the situation had collapsed, he immediately panicked, grabbed the green-haired man, and said, "Didn't you say there would be absolutely no problem? How did things turn out like this!"
"You must give me an explanation today, or I'm not done with you!"
The green-haired man was also stunned by the sudden turn of events. He looked at the yellow-haired man's accusatory face and felt a surge of anger.
He pushed him away and roared, "You dare to question me? This is all your fault!"
"If you weren't so loose-lipped, I could have handled it. You blurted out the whole thing, aren't you trying to harm me!"
The yellow-haired man didn't think it was his fault either and retorted angrily, "Harm you, my ass! Aren't you useless, failing to get any money after so long!"
"If I had asked, I would have gotten the money back by now!"
"How dare you say that!" The green-haired man was furious. He swung his fists and charged at the yellow-haired man.
The yellow-haired man was not to be outdone, and soon they were wrestling. The scene descended into chaos.
Seeing this, Wu Tian shook his head with a smile.
Alas, it's truly a case of dogs fighting dogs...
Watching the yellow-haired and green-haired men fight, Wu Tian didn't rush to intervene. He watched leisurely, as if enjoying a good show.
The surrounding diners also felt a sense of bewilderment.
After all, these two had been colluding to defraud them, and now they had turned on each other. Such a situation seemed too surreal.
After a few minutes, seeing that the two had fought themselves out, Wu Tian finally spoke, "Alright, alright, stop fighting."
"Fighting is not good. Why can't you talk things through?"
The green-haired and yellow-haired men were exhausted from fighting. They sat on the ground, panting, with no strength left to stand.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Let's put your issues aside for now and talk about ours."
"You colluded to commit fraud and severely damaged our establishment's reputation. Tell me, how should this be handled?"
The faces of the yellow-haired and green-haired men changed drastically. They had been caught up in the fight and only now realized that Wu Tian's retribution was the most serious matter.
The green-haired man's mouth twitched slightly. He forced a smile and said, "This, we were actually just joking with you. We didn't intend to take it seriously."
"It's the entertainment era, everyone is just having fun with each other."
"So, I think we should just let this matter go. There's really no need to make a big deal out of it."
Wu Tian sneered, "You're having a good daydream. With just a few words, you expect me to let you off?"
"Are you treating yourself as a fool, or are you treating us as fools?"
The green-haired man gritted his teeth and said, "You misunderstand us. We were really just joking."
"You can't even take a joke. Aren't you being too petty?"
Wu Tian smiled again, "Is that so? Then I'm truly sorry."
"I am indeed quite petty. There's probably no one in this world more petty than me."
"So, I must get my revenge. If I don't send you to prison, I won't be able to sleep."
The green-haired man's face turned extremely grim.
He hadn't expected Wu Tian to be so ruthless, giving him no room to maneuver.
In desperation, he said, "Then what do you want? Tell us, and we brothers will try our best to compensate you."
"Compensation?" Wu Tian smiled and said, "Alright, how about we switch roles?"
"You previously demanded ten million from us, so you should compensate us ten million as well."
"Ten million?!" the green-haired man shrieked, "You're not robbing us, are you? Where am I supposed to get ten million from!"
Wu Tian laughed, "Isn't this what we learned from you? When you made such an outrageous demand, did you ever consider us?"
"There's no room for negotiation. Either you give me ten million, or you go to jail."
"Your fraud amount, I estimate, would easily get you ten years."
"Ten years?" A deep sense of dread washed over the yellow-haired man's face.
He was naturally timid. When the green-haired man had asked him to do this before, he had been afraid to agree.
Now that Wu Tian was determined to toy with them, his actions naturally made him tremble with fear.
He was on the verge of a breakdown and hurriedly said, "Brother, please don't send us to jail. I just got out, and I don't want to go back!"
"I confess, we were actually instructed by someone. I didn't want to do this either!"
"Instructed by someone?" Wu Tian was taken aback. He hadn't expected there to be a mastermind behind this.
He asked, "Who instructed you? As long as you tell me, I promise I won't bother you anymore."
The yellow-haired man glanced at the green-haired man, who flinched slightly.
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, wanting to protect himself, he tremblingly said to Wu Tian, "I can tell you who it is, but you also have to promise that you really won't bother us anymore!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "As long as you tell the truth, then I will tell the truth."
"But if you lie to me, then I'm sorry, I'll call the police immediately."
