"Are you sick? You can't afford to pay back 80 million even if you deliver couriers for ten lifetimes!"

"That's enough. Don't be so arrogant. If you keep talking, I can't protect you."

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You still have some humanity, how about you pay for me?"

Theo was silent again.

Vivienne looked at me seriously and counted with me on her fingers.

"Okay, since you said so, then I'll add the money for postponing the wedding for you to the total, so we can make it a round number, 100 million."

Theo, already breaking out in a cold sweat, reached out to pull her.

"Even if we booked a hotel, it wouldn't be that much. How did you calculate it?"

"Besides, your wedding dress was just spit on, can't you just wipe it off?"

"The wedding has already started, why are you wasting all this time arguing with him? How can he have the money? Can't you just send someone to send a spare wedding dress?"

Vivienne was immediately unhappy.

"Don't you love me?"

"Theo, you said you would spoil me forever! Today I just asked your cousin to pay me, not to sell his body, so you don't want to do that?"

"Besides, I am doing this for your own good. If I hadn't paved the way for you all these years and blocked you from going home to visit your family, how could your business be so big? You would have been eaten up by those poor relatives long ago!"

As soon as Vivienne made a fuss, Theo instantly lost his spine.

"Okay, okay, whatever Vivienne says is right. You are my little angel, and I will agree to everything you say."

Everyone began to praise the couple's deep love.

I almost vomited up the overnight meal.

Not wanting to read any further, I quickly spoke.

"One hundred million, right? Once you're sure, I'll have someone prepare the money?"

The situation suddenly changed, and everyone started laughing at me.

"Is this guy scared out of his wits? Does he have 100 million? He can buy tens of thousands of Ford Transit Vans with that."

"I've long said that his brain and anus are reversed, but you still didn't believe me. What do you think now?"

"Would you like to make a bet? I bet he can't come up with the money and will be killed by Vivienne."

Everyone's face was full of contempt.

"You need to tell me? He definitely can't afford it. What's the point of betting? It's a done deal."

I straightened my messed up collar, not caring at all.

"How about this, I'll make a bet with you guys too. If I can't afford the compensation, I'll take off my clothes and dance for you guys right there and then, as a wedding gift to my cousin."

The scene instantly burst into laughter.

"Are you looking for a way out now? You're doing a striptease for 100 million? Do you think you're Eddie Peng?"

"Whatever, we can't stop them if they want to. Let's start the show now. Let's make the headline read Miss Lin rips apart a perverted naked man! I've finally got the job of an internet celebrity!"

A few people did what they said, and in the blink of an eye, several mobile phone cameras were pointed at my face.

"Family, Vivienne tore apart the perverted naked man. He volunteered to take off his clothes and dance for us. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

"Even if you dance, Vivienne has plenty of ways to make you pay, or you'll go to jail. Just wait and see!"

Vivienne had dozens of security guards keep an eye on me until the 100 million arrived.

After saying that, she took Theo's hand and prepared to enter.

I spoke again:

"What's the hurry? Theo, why is your wife so hypocritical?"

My words made everyone's face change.

Pointing at the crushed box on the ground, I said coldly:

"She has settled her account, but I haven't."

Before the two of them could speak, the guests watching the live broadcast were already excited.

"Family members, this is unbelievable. Vivienne has been blackmailed!"

The barrage asked Vivienne what she had destroyed for me.

When the camera shifted to a pair of parts on the ground, everyone laughed.

"It's just a pile of scrap metal? I have plenty in my recycling station. Vivienne can take it for free. As much as you want."

"Is this thing worth 100 million? Don't let it cost you your pants and you won't have anything to wear when you want to."

"This is the first time I've seen such a stupid man. Is he trying to seduce Vivienne like in idol dramas? He's still not on the right path at his age. When will a man stop being so confident?"

I ignored everyone's ridicule and just bent down to tear open the carton.

"Why don't you take another look at what this is?"

The live broadcast room was still filled with ridicule.

"I've seen it, but it's still rotten iron. Is it because the system didn't help you? Or did you not wipe off the eye mucus from your dream?"

I raised a finger and shook it.

"No, no, no, this is not ordinary iron."

“This is a titanium alloy part.”

"It's aerospace—"

Before I could finish my words, the leader of the central command office called me, and his voice was so sharp that it almost pierced my eardrums.

"Grant, what did you do? Why is your face in the live broadcast room? Did you forget that you signed a non-disclosure agreement?"

"Also, where are the parts I asked you to deliver? And what's with the cardboard box on the ground?"

I glanced at Vivienne, she was still smiling.

"Boss, this is what happened. Someone broke the parts and they are no longer usable."

"That person said that stepping on my parts was a waste of her time and energy, and she wanted me to pay her 100 million."

The leader exploded instantly.

"Say it again? What happened to the aerospace engineering parts?"

"Did that guy get kicked in the head by a donkey? That's the latest material that has just been made! If the backup of Chang'e 5 fails, he will have to spend the rest of his life in jail!"

When everyone saw that I was serious, the laughter got louder and louder.

I squatted down and examined the parts carefully.

"Preliminary inspection shows that the interface is damaged and cannot complete the task normally. We need to activate the backup plan."

Considering the confidentiality of the mission, I did not go into details.

But Vivienne found the loophole.

He kicked the phone away from my ear and half of my ear was covered in blood.

"Have you pretended enough? Not only do you pretend by yourself, but you also want to involve extras?"

The phone fell to the ground and accidentally triggered the speakerphone.

The leader is extremely anxious.

"Grant? How are you? Where are the parts? Protect the parts, I'll arrange for someone to come over right away!"

Vivienne came closer and shouted:

"You are the actor he hired? Don't play dumb with me! You want to blackmail me with a bunch of junks? That doesn't make sense! The legal department of Lancaster Consortium is no pushover!"

The leader was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter.

"Do you know what those parts are made of? How dare you say that?"

"Those are aerospace engineering parts! They all use the latest technology!"

After that, everyone including Vivienne laughed.

"Hahaha, are you crazy? Hypochondria? Aerospace engineering, and he's just a poor guy driving a Ford Transit Van?"

"I'm so scared, I almost peed my pants. How about you fly the space shuttle out for us to see?"

"What, you don't dare anymore? You're silent? Grant, the actors you found are no good!"

The leader spoke after ten seconds:

"I have contacted the Federal Space Security Bureau and the local garrison. I will grant you your wish!"

After hanging up the phone, Vivienne's mocking voice could no longer be suppressed.

"Theo, you didn't tell me before you got married that there was a mental illness in your family. It can't be hereditary, right?"

I laughed too, but it was a sneer.

"We'll know who's sick soon."

Vivienne simply rolled her eyes.

"It's a waste of time. Let's get married first."

The wedding march was just halfway through when the buzz of a helicopter was suddenly heard outside.
