Chapter 34: Debts Must Be Repaid

"Fine, I'll have my subordinate Li Han go with you," Zou Dalong said. "He's familiar with Antique Street, and those grandsons know him too."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu drove out.

The sky was already dark. In a room on Antique Street, Laoshu, Zhang Erdao, and Chen Yu's former card-playing acquaintance Liu San were eating hot pot and drinking together.

"Dao Ge, that guy Ye Chenguang is truly a sucker. Haha, we made quite a bit this time."

"This deal was really satisfying." Zhang Erdao gulped down some alcohol. "Let's find more suckers like that in the future."

"Dao Ge, you can't forget about that Chen Yu I mentioned last time; we still haven't taught him a proper lesson." Liu San said sinisterly. Last time Chen Yu came to Antique Street, he had tried to set Chen Yu up, but ended up being dealt with by Chen Yu instead. He remembered this grudge.

"Don't worry, I'll find people to teach him a lesson another day." Zhang Erdao nodded.

"No need to trouble yourselves with finding me; I'm right here." The door opened, and Chen Yu walked in.

"Chen Yu, you still dare to come here?" Liu San was furious. "Brothers, take him down."

With a rustle, several people in the room stood up. Zhang Erdao grabbed a machete. "I already found you an eyesore at the Antique Exhibition Hall today, and you still dare to come here seeking death? Watch me finish you off."

"Zhang Erdao, who are you finishing off?" A group of people surrounded the outside, sealing the small room tight, and a man walked in.

The man was Li Han, a capable lieutenant under Zou Dalong. The loan sharks and scammers playing the Immortal trap on Antique Street all tucked their tails between their legs when they saw him.

"Han, Brother Han." The few people in the room were instantly dumbfounded. This was Li Han, Zou Dalong's top subordinate; they couldn't even get close to him even if they tried to curry favor.

"Brother Yu, are these the ones you were talking about?" Li Han said respectfully upon entering.

"Yes, it's these few." Chen Yu nodded.

"Kneel." Li Han swept his gaze over the group.

Thump, thump—without a second thought, these people knelt straight down.

"Brother Han, we've all been quite well-behaved. If we did something wrong, please point it out, and we'll change," Daoba said tremblingly.

"You're asking what you did wrong?" Li Han slapped Zhang Erdao across the face with a *slap*, making him see stars. "This is Brother Yu, you don't recognize him?"

"Brother Yu? Brother Han, you must be mistaken. This kid is just a punk; we play cards together." Liu San looked up in astonishment.

"Shut your mouth." Li Han kicked him over to the ground, grabbed a stool, and smashed it down on him.

With a *crack*, Liu San screamed; one of his arms had been smashed and broken.

"Keep your eyes peeled in the future. This is Brother Yu, whom even President Zou treats with respect. You few dared to provoke Brother Yu—don't you know how many heads you have?" Li Han said coldly.

"Brother Yu, I was wrong. I won't ever dare to do it again." The few were so scared they didn't dare to breathe. Although they didn't know what Chen Yu's background was, if even Zou Dalong feared him, how could they dare to provoke him?

"Has Ye Chenguang left?" Chen Yu stared at Zhang Erdao and asked.

"He, he left. His money was repaid. I'm sorry, Brother Yu, I didn't know your identity. I'll return the money to him immediately," Zhang Erdao said tremblingly.

"Zhang Erdao, you need to get this straight. You're a loan shark, right? Are you satisfied with just triple?" Chen Yu sneered. "If you don't ask for five or eight times the amount, how can you live up to your reputation?"

"This, this..." Zhang Erdao was dumbfounded; he didn't understand what Chen Yu meant.

"They just left, right? Catch up to them, teach them a good lesson, and demand more money. Do you understand what I mean? Don't be polite to them at all," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"I understand, Brother Yu. We'll catch up to them now and give them a good lesson." Laoshu reacted relatively quickly because he was familiar with Ye Chenguang and knew the Ye Family looked down on Chen Yu.

It seemed Ye Chenguang had provoked Chen Yu again. If that was the case, they only needed to give Ye Chenguang a good beating.

"Why aren't you going yet?" Chen Yu frowned. "They'll be back soon."

"Right, I'm going now. Laoshu, call the men." Zhang Erdao scrambled up in a hurry.

On Antique Street, Ye Chenguang and his wife hadn't managed to leave yet.

"Keep your eyes peeled in the future. If it weren't for getting some money from Ye Xinyu this time, and me scraping some together, you wouldn't even be able to pay back the loan," Zhou Lu said while walking and cursing. "You have no ability yourself, only high expectations but low capability."

Ye Chenguang hung his head, listening to Zhou Lu scold him. "Wife, I was wrong. I'll be careful in the future."

"Ye Xinyu still has money. Tomorrow I'll take Mom with me and demand all one million she has in her hands," Zhou Lu said hatefully.

"What if she doesn't give it?" Ye Chenguang asked.

"If she doesn't give it, I'll slap her face. If that doesn't work, I'll beat Chen Yu too. Are you really afraid of that couple?" Zhou Lu said angrily.

"Ye Chenguang, stop." Just at this moment, Zhang Erdao, Laoshu, and a group of people caught up.

"Dao Ge, I've already repaid the money. It hasn't even been three days, I paid early," Ye Chenguang said, his legs trembling in fear.

"Ye Chenguang, the rules have changed. Your bit of money isn't enough. Go scrape together another three hundred thousand, and this matter will be settled," Zhang Erdao barked.

"On what grounds? We signed a contract. What you're doing is illegal. Do you believe I'll call the police to arrest you?" Zhou Lu shouted arrogantly.

"Call the police? Try it and see." Zhang Erdao fiercely slapped Zhou Lu across the face.

Zhou Lu let out a miserable scream, and half her face quickly swelled up. She took two steps back, seeing stars, before timidly saying, "You, why are you hitting people?"

"Hitting people? I'm hitting you specifically." Laoshu fiercely kicked Ye Chenguang, and Ye Chenguang fell to the ground with a *thump*, clutching his stomach and screaming.

"Kneel." Zhang Erdao barked.

"Dao Ge, let's talk this over nicely." Ye Chenguang knelt down with a mournful face; he was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, and he didn't dare provoke these loan sharks.

"You kneel too." Zhang Erdao yelled fiercely at Zhou Lu.

"Wuu wuu..." Zhou Lu was scared to tears and knelt down timidly.

"You're pretty tough, aren't you?" Zhang Erdao fiercely slapped Zhou Lu again. "Calling the police, huh... who the hell do you think I am?"

After a dozen slaps in a row, Zhou Lu's face was as swollen as a steamed bun. Her face was swollen, her mouth full of blood, and she looked disheveled like a lunatic.

"I won't do it again, Dao Ge. I was just talking out of anger, I won't call the police," Zhou Lu cried, tears and snot streaming down.

"Three hundred thousand, do you remember clearly?" Laoshu pointed at Ye Chenguang with a fierce expression.

"I, I can't scrape together that much. Laoshu, look at the fact that we're at least acquaintances, please let me go," Ye Chenguang said with a mournful face.

"Can't scrape it together?" Zhang Erdao raised an eyebrow, kicked him over to the ground, and then several people stepped forward and kicked him violently.
