Our interest rate is 4%. You borrow 5 million, and you’ll have to repay 7 million. So, you need to give me an IOU for 7 million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Additionally, you must have sufficient collateral. Houses, factories, cars, anything of value.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi pretended to hesitate momentarily, then gritted his teeth and took out the property deed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used this for the bank loan, which was still on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My house is worth over 5 million. I’ll use it as collateral. I also have a Mercedes worth 300,000. If I can’t repay, you can take it too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiong had never encountered such a straightforward client before and quickly took the property deed to inspect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After verifying the information, he felt even more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the car added, there was no way he could lose on this deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Xiong still expressed dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Zhang, your house is worth at most 5 million. If you want to take 5 million from me, I’d be at a loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi looked desperate and said, “Mr. Chen, you have to help me! I urgently need the money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can get me the money today, I'll settle for 4.5 million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiong and Hu Minghua exchanged glances, amusement gleaming in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in the business of exploiting desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more urgent someone needs money, the harder they’d fleece them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, this deal isn't worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after some haggling, they agreed on 4 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Yi demanded that the money be transferred to his account that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though heartless, the loan company was highly efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the contract, Zhang Yi quickly received 4 million in cash in his account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Xiong, this money was as good as thrown at the dogs, and it was never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… there’s something self-deprecating about that analogy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi happily walked out with the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he left, Chen Xiong and Hu Minghua's laughter echoed from the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha ha! This deal was way too easy. That fool actually walked out with 4 million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiong said smugly, “We’ll make at least 2-3 million from this deal. No worries about this month’s performance now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Minghua leaned on the table, laughing, “Boss, he signed the contract so easily. Could there be an issue with the house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the property deed, Chen Xiong smiled, “The deed is real, no issues. As long as the house is his, he can’t escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the property deed and the 7 million IOU, they had ways to take over that house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, they had more methods to squeeze Zhang Yi dry completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiong sipped his coffee elegantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If worse comes to worst, we can contact overseas organizations and see if he has any valuable organs to sell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We never do a losing deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi left the loan company, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced back at the office building with a hint of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re so generous, giving me money for free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, Zhang Yi would have no dealings with Chen Xiong and Hu Minghua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More likely, they would perish in the apocalyptic cold wave a month later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi now had about 9 million yuan in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to execute his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with every purchase from now on, he could use prepayment methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That 9 million would have the purchasing power of tens of millions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no need to scrape more funds; otherwise, he wouldn’t mind milking various online lending platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi drove to Tianhai City's renowned Zhanlong Security Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlong was one of the largest security companies in China, specializing in services for billionaires and celebrities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, even government officials hired them for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi chose them because he had heard in his previous life that Zhanlong had built a billion-dollar top-tier safe house for the wealthiest heir in Jiangnan Province!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That heir, from a real estate tycoon family, lived lavishly even during the apocalypse, thanks to the safe house Zhanlong built for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi arrived at Zhanlong and explained his needs to the receptionist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staff member from the business department promptly escorted Zhang Yi to a lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist served him freshly brewed coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, a burly man with a crew cut entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a black suit, giving off an impression of a refined brute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn't help but worry that his suit might burst from his muscular frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such a person instilled a sense of security in clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, sir. My name is Wu Huairen, business manager. How can we assist you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Huairen sat beside Zhang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi sipped his coffee and said, “I need you to build a safe house for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One that can withstand the apocalypse, the highest level of safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wu Huairen's expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, such a statement might sound laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Zhanlong, it was no joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealthiest and most powerful people often feared death the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago, billionaires abroad had spent billions on apocalypse shelters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, many wealthy people worldwide have followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some genuinely feared large-scale natural disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others had too many enemies and sought extra security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlong's doomsday shelters emerged to meet this market demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Huairen became more courteous upon hearing Zhang Yi's request for an apocalypse-grade shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such large orders were rare annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Zhang, Zhanlong is a world-class security company. We can certainly meet your requirements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi immediately asked, “If I need you to remodel a room on the 24th floor, can you do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Huairen found this request peculiar. Typically, such shelters were standalone villas or underground bunkers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few wealthy individuals chose to build shelters in apartments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhanlong aimed to please its clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Huairen confidently replied, “Absolutely! We’re the top security company globally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With our technology, we can fulfill your request.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Yi was satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, he would turn his house into a safe house!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to stay to witness the demise of those who had wronged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Huairen handed Zhang Yi a tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our services are customized.
