Chapter 142: Liu Hong

Zhao Tian was in a terrible mood. He and his brothers had been eating skewers on the side of the road with the money Liu Hong gave them, only to receive a call from Wang Peng. He was scolded from the start. Zhao Tian knew Liu Hong must have used some connections, but he didn't expect Liu Hong’s connections to be so solid—they actually made Wang Peng call him personally and even forced him to come over this late to apologize to Liu Hong.

Zhao Tian looked at the Liu Hong before him with extreme unwillingness. The other party was just a useless rich second-generation kid. Zhao Tian naturally looked down on these people because his sister had been hurt by one. Zhao Tian hated these rich kids who did evil all day long, feeling they were even worse than people like him who drifted in society. But now, under the eaves, he had to bow his head. Zhao Tian could only say apologetically to Liu Hong: "Young Master Liu, I’m sorry about what happened before. Brother Peng has already scolded me. Rest assured, I will definitely help you handle things properly later. I will definitely help you teach those two idiots a lesson!"

Liu Hong didn't rush to answer Zhao Tian’s words, but instead said: "Zhao Tian, what about the money I gave you earlier? Give it back to me."

"This... it’s gone. The money has already been spent!" Liu Hong wouldn't be willing to return that money; it was money they had earned with their lives, and they had been beaten up so badly. If he gave it back, wouldn't it be all for nothing? Besides, Wang Peng didn't tell him to return the money, so he simply played dead and said it was spent, refusing to give it back no matter what.

"What? You spent it? Who are you trying to fool? You spent it that fast?" Liu Hong didn't believe Zhao Tian’s nonsense at all.

"Believe it or not, anyway, I really spent it!"

"Zhao Tian, don't go too far. Do you really think I’m stupid? Let me tell you, Wang Peng still has to give me some face now. If you don't give me the money, do you believe I’ll have Wang Peng deal with you?" Liu Hong cursed.

"Do you think I’m afraid of you? If you have the ability, go find Brother Peng!" Zhao Tian didn't buy Liu Hong’s threat at all.

Seeing Zhao Tian being defiant, Liu Hong was furious and took out his phone to call Wang Peng again. After Wang Peng’s phone rang, he realized it was Liu Hong again and was a bit angry, but he still answered with a smile: "Young Master Liu, it’s so late, is there something wrong?"

"Brother Wang, this subordinate of yours, Zhao Tian, isn't very obedient!"

"Young Master Liu, what’s the situation? I already gave him instructions earlier. What’s the problem?"

"I told him to return the money he took earlier, but this person isn't listening. He didn't do the job I asked him to do, yet he took the money. This doesn't follow the rules, right?"

"Rules? Young Master Liu, I think you don't know our rules. We always collect the money regardless of whether the job is done or not. So Zhao Tian didn't break any rules!"

"But!"

"There are no 'buts.' Young Master Liu, it’s so late, aren't you going to sleep? I’m exhausted. Go to sleep, Young Master Liu!"

"Brother Wang, don't forget what Young Master Jiang said. If you act like this, I can't guarantee what I’ll say to Young Master Jiang later!" Liu Hong saw that Wang Peng wasn't siding with him and tried to use Jiang Yifan to pressure the other party.

But he had miscalculated. Who was Wang Peng? He had been drifting in society for so many years; how could he accept such a threat? He was already annoyed at receiving Liu Hong’s call so late, and now that the other party was threatening him, he exploded: "Liu Hong, don't take yourself too seriously! Don't use Jiang Yifan to threaten me. Why don't you go out and ask around—who has Wang Peng ever been afraid of? I’m giving the Jiang family some face, but don't you take yourself too seriously!"

With that, Wang Peng hung up the phone. He was also very annoyed with this kind of rich kid. If it weren't for the Jiang family, he wouldn't want to deal with this guy at all, let alone the fact that Zhao Tian was his own man and Liu Hong had been the one going too far.

Seeing Wang Peng hang up, Liu Hong’s face turned livid. However, this made Zhao Tian smug. Zhao Tian looked at Liu Hong coldly and said: "Young Master Liu, how is it?"

Seeing Zhao Tian’s smug look, Liu Hong was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Wang Peng wasn't interfering, and even if he called Jiang Yifan, it probably wouldn't have any effect.

Liu Hong could only say helplessly: "Fine, let’s forget about the money. Consider it buying your coffins!"

Zhao Tian’s expression changed, and he grabbed Liu Hong by the neck, shouting: "Liu Hong, what the fuck do you mean?"

"What? You dare to touch me? Let me tell you, I am a member of the Liu family, the second young master of the Liu family! And have you forgotten Wang Peng’s words? You dare to touch me?" Liu Hong showed no fear at all; he bet that the other party wouldn't make a move.

Zhao Tian indeed didn't dare to make a move. After all, he was just a small thug, and Wang Peng wouldn't go against the Liu family for his sake. Besides, this was a society ruled by law, and these families all had some connections. If they really started fighting, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle them.

Seeing Zhao Tian not making a move, Liu Hong broke free and snorted: "If you’re not going to move, then let go!"

Immediately after, Liu Hong continued: "The job I asked you to do earlier wasn't successful, so you need to continue. It’s the same two people. Tomorrow, I want to see a video of them screaming!"

Zhao Tian thought for a moment and said to Liu Hong: "You don't need to worry about that. We wanted to teach them a lesson anyway. Just wait for tomorrow’s result!"

Zhao Tian looked at his watch and said: "No, it shouldn't be tomorrow; it’s today’s result!"

It was already one or two in the morning, which was already the next day.

Liu Hong nodded: "I hope you guys can be capable and not trip over your own feet again!"

Zhao Tian didn't say anything, but the subordinates beside him were clearly angry and wanted to say something, but they were all glared back by Zhao Tian!

Liu Hong saw that it was getting late and told them to leave.

On the way back, Zhao Tian’s subordinates said to him: "Brother Tian, why didn't you let me speak just now? That guy was too arrogant. Damn, I wanted to kill him!"

"Do you think I didn't want to kill him? But there’s no way. Who told us to be lower than them?" Zhao Tian said helplessly.

"Brother Tian, in my opinion, these rich kids are truly not human. What do they take us for? Fuck!" the subordinates said indignantly.

Zhao Tian sighed and said: "Forget it. Let’s think about how to deal with Yang Yun tonight. How are we going to make a move on Yang Yun and the others?"
