This stunned Brother Fei and his two n.
Murong also looked on, impressed but confused. She had been wondering why Ye Xiu, who was clearly there to stand up for her, had so readily agreed to repay the 100,000 yuan.
So this is what he was waiting for!
"What dical fees and emotional damages?" Brother Fei asked.
"Did you forget you beat up Murong yesterday?" Ye Xiu asked.
Brother Fei and his n were stunned for a mont, then burst out laughing.
"No wonder you were so quick to pay the money. You had a trick up your sleeve, huh? What’s this? Trying to shake down?" Brother Fei asked with a laugh.
Xiao Kang and Xiao Hu couldn’t stop laughing either. As loan sharks, they were nothing but thugs and scoundrels, yet today they had apparently run into one of their own.
Xiao Kang said, "You claim we beat Murong—do you have proof?"
"Yeah, do you have any proof? If not, we can sue you for false accusation and slander," Xiao Hu threw the accusation right back.
"The place where you beat up Murong has surveillance caras. Getting proof is easy. I can pull the footage for the Patrol Officers to see. Besides, your blood-sucking loan shark company is illegal to begin with. Now that I have the proof of repaynt and the contract, I imagine it wouldn’t be excessive for a court to convict you of financial fraud, extortion, and grievous bodily harm, would it?" Ye Xiu picked up the contract from the desk and spoke in a cold voice.
After hearing Ye Xiu’s words, the faces of Brother Fei and his n turned ugly. They suddenly realized Ye Xiu was a veteran at this.
Initially, the threat of court was a tactic they used to intimidate Murong. Now, Ye Xiu was using it to intimidate them.
"Kid, do you realize you’re courting death?" Brother Fei stood up, walked over to Ye Xiu, and said coldly, "I’m sure you know that we loan sharks all have connections. Do you believe when I say I can make sure you don’t live to see the sunset?"
As he spoke, Xiao Kang and Xiao Hu closed in, cracking their knuckles, looking ready for a fight.
"Cut the crap. Just tell if you’re going to pay for the dical fees and emotional damages or not," Ye Xiu said.
"Heh, a tough one, aren’t you?" Brother Fei sneered. "Fine. I’m curious to hear just how much you plan on extorting from ."
"I’ll take everything you have," Ye Xiu replied.
"Such a big appetite. Aren’t you afraid you’ll choke?" Brother Fei, enraged, said coldly, "Xiao Kang, Xiao Hu, break this kid’s legs and throw him out."
"Just waiting on your word, Brother Fei."
The burly Xiao Hu suddenly grew excited, swinging a fist toward Ye Xiu’s face.
BANG!
However, before his fist was even halfway there, Ye Xiu’s foot had already slamd into the side of his face.
Blood instantly gushed from Xiao Hu’s face as he was sent flying backward.
The Wanda Investnt Guarantee Company office was tiny, only about thirty square ters. The force of Ye Xiu’s kick was so imnse that Xiao Hu flew backward with no room to slow down, crashing directly into the wall.
BOOM!
The entire office shook violently, and dust rained down from the ceiling.
Xiao Hu collapsed to the floor, unconscious. On the wall he’d hit, a terrifying network of cracks had appeared.
"This..."
Brother Fei and Xiao Kang were completely stupefied.
As street thugs, they knew exactly what a kick like that ant. Xiao Hu was their hired muscle, yet he’d been taken out with a single kick. If that kick had landed on either of them, it would have been lethal.
"And you people have the nerve to call yourselves street thugs? You’re a disgrace to thugs and gangsters everywhere." Ye Xiu walked over to the unconscious Xiao Hu, brought his foot down and shattered the man’s left kneecap, and said coldly, "See that? This is what a real gangster looks like. To make it out on the streets these days, you have to be ruthless like ."
Watching Xiao Hu’s twisted leg, Brother Fei and Xiao Kang felt a chill shoot up from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads.
God’s honest truth. They’d been in plenty of fights and seen knives, even guns, but they had never seen anyone as ruthless as Ye Xiu—soone who’d break a man’s leg after he was already unconscious.
"Bro, we’re all just trying to make a living here. Let’s talk this out. My boss is Wang ng. Who do you run with, bro?" Brother Fei’s earlier arrogance vanished, replaced by a fawning, bootlicking grin.
This was how people on the streets were: they bullied the weak and feared the strong. They’d find any way to tornt the easy targets but would start pulling connections and begging for rcy the second they ran into a hard case.
"Don’t try that routine on . Pay up, now. Otherwise, the three of you will be spending the rest of your lives in bed," Ye Xiu said coldly.
Brother Fei and Xiao Kang shuddered. Damn, we ran into a real tough nut today. The usual tricks won’t work on him.
"I’ll pay, I’ll pay! Um, Bro, give your account number or paynt QR code, and I’ll transfer the money to you," Brother Fei conceded. I’ve run into this kind of situation before. Afterward, I’ll just pull so strings, maybe treat him to a al, and get the money back.
"Give them your account number," Ye Xiu said to Murong.
"Oh!" Murong quickly recited her account number for Brother Fei and Xiao Kang.
"Transfer every last cent from all of your bank cards to Murong. If you dare hold back even a single cent, I’ll crush you," Ye Xiu threatened.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
At this point, Brother Fei and Xiao Kang didn’t dare try any funny business. Besides, they figured the money would be coming back to them soon enough.
Soon, the transfer was complete.
Ye Xiu patted Brother Fei’s shoulder and said, "I know what you’re thinking. Planning to use your connections to get the money back, right? Take a good look at my face. I’ll be waiting for you to send people to co and get it from ."
With that, he took off his mask for a mont to let Brother Fei and Xiao Kang see his face, then left with Murong.
It was several minutes after the two had left before Brother Fei and Xiao Kang finally processed what had happened.
"Why does his face look so familiar?" Brother Fei asked.
"That’s Ye Xiu," Xiao Kang said.
THUMP!
Brother Fei collapsed onto the floor. "It’s over. We’re never getting that money back. ng Shaoxiong is just Ye Xiu’s lackey! I’m afraid no one in Jin Ye City would dare help us get the money back from Ye Xiu."
Xiao Kang said nothing. He looked at the unconscious Xiao Hu with envy. If only I had attacked first! Even if my leg got broken, at least I would have been unconscious and wouldn’t have had to transfer my money.
* * *
After Ye Xiu and Murong got back in the car, Murong asked apprehensively, "Are we going to get in trouble for this?"
"Don’t worry!" Ye Xiu asked with a smile. "How much did you get?"
"786,928.41 yuan." Murong was ecstatic. I’m suddenly a rich woman!
"Are loan sharks really this poor?" Ye Xiu sounded deeply disappointed.
Murong rolled her eyes. "Hey, don’t be so dramatic! Over 780,000 yuan is a huge sum of money for , okay?"
"Maybe I’m just too rich," Ye Xiu sighed. "Sigh, I’m so poor that all I have is money."
Murong could only offer a dry laugh.
「Back at Saint He dical College.」
When they arrived at the classroom, the lecture had already been in progress for over ten minutes. But none of the teachers or students seed to mind Ye Xiu’s tardiness.
"Sorry, I’m late," Ye Xiu apologized as he walked to the lectern.
"No worries, you can just hold class a little longer to make up for it," soone joked.
"No problem," Ye Xiu agreed readily, when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure sitting in a corner in the back row.
Dragon Hollyhock!
Interesting. So this woman actually found her way here.
Ye Xiu ignored her and began the lecture as usual.
