"Miss Lan, we are legitimate businessn. There's no trickery involved. You should just go back and wait for us to deliver the goods," one of the thugs said with a grin.
"And if you can't deliver within ten days, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" Luo Chao squinted slightly as he spoke.
Ruan Tao loudly vowed, "If we can't deliver, I'll refund your company's advance paynt!" At this mont, Ruan Tao was eager to get them out of there, chuckling to himself, knowing that his words alone left no evidence.
Luo Chao teased, "Well said, Boss Ruan. Minister Lan, let's head back!"
Lan Ya was stunned, giving him a strange look. Could these people's words be trusted? anwhile, Ruan Tao and his crew felt pleased, assuming this cocky kid was actually spineless.
However, Luo Chao suddenly blurted out playfully, "I've recorded everything you've said. If you don't follow through, we'll have no choice but to let the police and the consur protection agency handle this issue for us."
"Damn! Are you looking to die, kid?" Ruan Tao's six thugs charged straight at Luo Chao, nacingly yelling at him.
Luo Chao mocked, "Why are you all so worked up? Can't handle being caught in your lies?"
Ruan Tao's face instantly darkened; he hadn't expected this seemingly affable but dark-skinned kid to play dirty against him. He sneered, "Kid, I won't deliver the goods and intend to swallow this advance paynt without spending a di. What can you do about it!"
Ruan Tao felt even more invincible now, knowing what steps to take and not caring that his increasingly reckless words might be recorded.
Lan Ya, her face flushed with anger, scolded, "Ruan Tao, I never thought you'd be such a despicable person. Ruan Qing pleaded with , which is why I considered your business. Isn't this a betrayal of Qing?"
"Fool, I don't mind telling you, it was Qing who suggested this idea to ," Ruan Tao laughed heartily, though he hadn't expected that with Teng Yuan Group's wealth, they wouldn't care about a re 500,000 yuan. Yet, Lan Ya, as the cousin of the CEO, repeatedly pursued him for the delivery, causing him great annoyance.
This ti, Ruan Tao made up his mind to lay it all out, to stop Lan Ya from her daily phone harassnt, and without worrying that she could do anything to him.
What could a college student possibly do? There were loopholes in the contract to exploit. Even a king being persuaded by reason benefits "the Father" since Luo Chao dared to play dirty with him, he needed to teach him a serious lesson, Ruan Tao thought, beginning to prepare himself for a showdown.
Right now, Ruan Tao's six thugs frowned and said, "Hand over your phone!"
"Why would I hand it over just because you say so? That would be so embarrassing," Luo Chao retorted, instantly provoking them to fury, "Get him!"
The six of them lunged at him directly, and one even picked up a chair from the mahjong table, swinging it down towards Luo Chao's head.
With a thud, an unexpected sight ensued: a fist pierced through the chair's seat, landing a punch on the thug's stomach, causing him to instantly foam at the mouth and collapse to the ground, unable to utter a single scream—the punch was just that fast.
The remaining five thugs stood in shock, their limbs trembling, not daring to make a move. This seemingly harmless guy turned out to be such an adept fighter, punching a hole through the chair without visibly breaking it. This displayed such speed and brutal strength!
"Fight him!" Ruan Tao's eyes turned red as he shouted.
Upon hearing the boss's command, everyone cast aside their fear, charging forward as if fueled with adrenaline. However, how could these street thugs possibly contend with soone of Luo Chao's caliber?
With a series of bam-bam-bams, in just a few breaths, Ruan Tao and his gang were all groaning in pain on the ground, while Luo Chao cheerfully squatted in front of Ruan Tao, "Boss Ruan, do you still want to fight?"
Ruan Tao clutched his belly, his face pale, "No, no more fighting, I was wrong, bro!"
"Good that you know you were wrong, now return the advance paynt," Luo Chao stated plainly.
Ruan Tao trembled inside, gritting his teeth, "I don't have the money, only my life to give," he found it impossible to surrender the money he had obtained with much difficulty—500,000 yuan was too much to let go of easily.
"So you're determined to keep the money," Luo Chao smiled mysteriously. This smile sent a shiver down Ruan Tao's spine, and trembling, he said, "So what if I am? At worst, I'll do a few years in prison and co out a free man!"
Indeed, "birds die for food, as n die for wealth." Ruan Tao had been a low-life thug all his life, even at nearing fifty, he achieved nothing of significance, scraping by through scams and cons just enough to sustain a family. Naturally, he aspired for a better life, like buying a car to flaunt a bit.
Yet Ruan Tao hadn't touched the 500,000 yuan because Tengyuan Group was an influential powerhouse in Jiangning City. If Tengyuan Group truly cared about this 500,000 yuan and decided to sue him, he would have no choice but to surrender it. He figured he'd keep the money until the heat died down before buying the car.
Ruan Tao believed that a big na like Tengyuan Group wouldn't engage in a lawsuit with an ordinary citizen over 500,000 yuan—especially not with the notion that the 500,000 had been swindled, which would severely damage the company's image.
As Ruan Tao anticipated, the board mbers of Tengyuan Group would surely not agree to sue over the 500,000 being scamd. Instead, they'd make Lan Ya take the bla.
To pay an advance of over 500,000 yuan without receiving the goods first—such a dumb move was certainly laughable.
Lan Ya stomped her foot in frustration, "I utterly regret becoming friends with Ruan Qing. Like father, like daughter, despicable and shaless!"
Ruan Tao chuckled, "This is the way we poor folks live, you wouldn't understand."
With a soft click, a strange sound was heard. Luo Chao gently twisted Ruan Tao's wrist, eliciting a bone-chilling scream from Ruan Tao, "Ah, it hurts!"
After a sudden wave of pain, Ruan Tao's arm was dislocated. He gritted his teeth, "Brat, you can kill , but I won't give up this money. I'll even charge you with intentional injury!"
"Really?" Luo Chao smirked evilly again, another soft click, and Ruan Tao yelped repeatedly as his bone was re-set.
At this mont, Ruan Tao was trembling inside, "What exactly do you want?" Although he had his arm twisted and then re-set, waves of intense unease and terror welled up inside him!
Luo Chao chuckled ominously, "Don't you find this fun?"
