Chapter 204: The Shady Agency

"Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law? Was it because of what happened at the hospital last time..." Zhao Anran looked at Chen Yu's expression and had already guessed it eight or nine times out of ten.

"No, don't overthink it." Chen Yu smiled, put his things down, turned, and left.

The most urgent matter for Chen Yu was to find a place to live.

He looked at a few listings on his phone and found an apartment in a high-end residential complex that felt quite good, so Chen Yu planned to rent it.

Upon arriving at the agency, a woman wearing an agent's uniform greeted Chen Yu enthusiastically: "Brother, are you the one who contacted us about viewing the apartment? I am your dedicated customer service representative, Xiaowan. We can go take a look at the place now."

"Alright, let's go take a look first." Chen Yu nodded.

Lijing Garden was a very nice residential complex in the main urban area of Fengling; the units inside were all large, flat-floor apartments, and the one Chen Yu was looking at was move-in ready.

The interior decoration was standard and decent, slightly different from the pictures he had seen online, but it was passable. Chen Yu took a few glances and said, "Alright, this will do."

"That's great, brother. The apartment is 150 square meters. You need to prepay one year's rent, and the monthly rent is 6,000. This price is very favorable in this area. Additionally, a 10,000 deposit is required, totaling 82,000. Will you be paying by card or cash?" Xiaowan was delighted.

"I'll pay by card." Chen Yu took out his card, swiped it directly, and then went back with the agent to get the keys.

But after the card was swiped, the female agent's expression suddenly turned disdainful. After they reached the agency, she took out a key and said, "It's like this: the landlord just said they aren't renting that unit out anymore. So, there's nothing I can do; we've changed you to another location at the World Trade Apartment."

"The apartment is a bit smaller and the environment is a bit worse. If you agree, you can go there; the price is the same as this one. If you don't agree, the deposit will not be refunded."

"Are you kidding me?" Chen Yu suspected he had misheard. The World Trade Apartment was over twenty kilometers away from here, far outside the main urban area.

Furthermore, that apartment complex was notoriously dirty, messy, and poor; it was surrounded by a garbage transfer station. This environment was just "a bit worse"?

What's more, the largest apartment there was only fifty square meters. Was this just "a little smaller"?

"You're not a fool, why would I kid you?" The previously polite agent was now extremely arrogant.

"Fine, I understand. So it turns out I've encountered a shady agency." Chen Yu nodded.

"That's right, we are a shady agency. We're famous for it in the area. You dared to come to us to rent a place? I can only say you were blind." The woman sneered.

"Alright, so blatant." Chen Yu smiled: "I'm in a bad mood right now, so don't provoke me, or you won't be able to bear the consequences. I won't even ask you to refund the money; I just want that apartment."

"Looking for trouble, are you? Do you really think we don't have anyone at this agency?" The woman turned her head and shouted: "Dali, someone is here to cause trouble."

"Who dares to cause trouble here?" Following a coarse voice, a burly man walked out with several agents wearing suits.

These guys didn't look like good people at first glance; they specialized in swindling people out of money, and they had likely pulled this stunt many times.

"Are you blind, kid? Didn't you go ask around what this agency of ours does?" The man waved the weapon in his hand and looked at Chen Yu with a malicious expression.

"I want that apartment today, nothing else. And don't you dare refund my money; I don't want it back either," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Where did this mongrel come from? Your skin is itching, isn't it? I'll teach you a lesson for your father today." The man said, brandishing the weapon in his hand as he smashed it toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu grabbed the weapon from his hand and smashed it back at him. With a 'Bang!', the man's head burst with fresh blood like a rotten watermelon.

Chen Yu struck one person flying with a palm, then finished off the remaining two in a few quick moves.

Chen Yu was already fuming inside, and these guys just happened to be courting death. He picked up a chair and smashed it fiercely down on them.

After a round of violent smashing, the chair was deformed, and the men were lying on the ground covered in blood, struggling and twisting in pain.

Chen Yu threw the chair in his hand aside and walked up to the female agent.

The female agent was so scared her face turned pale. She had been holding her phone to make a call, but seeing Chen Yu walk over, her hand shook in fear, and the phone fell to the ground with a 'clatter'.

"Bi-big brother, please spare me, I didn't mean it... I won't dare to do it again, I really won't." The female agent begged for mercy, trembling.

*Slap*... Chen Yu swung a heavy slap across her face.

The female agent shrieked, and five finger marks appeared on her face.

Chen Yu immediately followed up with another slap, which knocked her flat onto the ground.

"Isn't that the shady agency? Did they get taught a lesson?"

"Yes, this agency is too shady. I signed a lease with them and they cheated me out of a lot of money."

"Why is there no one managing such a trashy agency?"

"Isn't someone managing it now?"

The agency's door wasn't closed, and passersby who saw this scene stopped in their tracks. Chen Yu's methods were ruthless, but no one felt it was cruel; on the contrary, everyone felt relieved.

After all, this trashy agency had existed here for a long time, constantly cheating people, and today someone had finally stepped up to teach them a lesson.

*Slap, slap, slap*... A dozen slaps in a row left the woman looking like a pig's head, and she lay on the ground screaming and crying.

"The key." Chen Yu held out his hand.

The female sales agent tremblingly took out the key and handed it to Chen Yu. She sobbed, "Big brother, I'm really sorry, here is the key."

"Aren't you 'move-in ready'? I'm missing daily necessities. Before I return tonight, have everything fully stocked and leave the key at the door. If anything is missing, you know the consequences." Chen Yu glanced coldly at the woman.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely stock it all, definitely." The woman nodded desperately. She only wanted Chen Yu to leave quickly now; she really couldn't hold on any longer.

Chen Yu found Datian and the other two and explained his plan.

"Boss, this is too simple. The three of us brothers followed Captain Lin and licked blood off the edge of a blade at the border; we can recruit any kind of person you want." Datian grinned.

"That's right, and after we train them, I guarantee every one of them can be used as a killer." Zhan Hun also nodded.

"Alright then, let the plan begin. Our team will be called 'Swift Shadow'. Externally, it will be a bodyguard company taking on some business. Aim for thirty to fifty core members; you handle it, and I'll go through the paperwork later."

"Yes, Boss." The three bowed.

"Chen Yu, are you free?" At this moment, Xia Tian's call came through.

"I'm free now, what's up?" Chen Yu asked.

"Nothing, come over and hang out. There's a Precious Banquet with lots of jewelry, jade, and valuable items. Your eye is always very accurate, and since Qiangzi isn't here, why don't you come help me take a look?" Xia Tian laughed.

"No problem, I'll be there right away." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Alright then." Xia Tian hung up the phone, and a moment later, a location was sent over. Chen Yu drove toward that location.

This banquet was a place for proper high-society people, located on the top floor of the Century Building, an banquet hall of a full three thousand square meters.

The theme of today's banquet was spending money, with rows of precious treasures inside bulletproof glass display cases.
