âAh?! What did you say?â
Qin Han sat up. âWhat does this have to do with you?â
âRight.â Liang Jinming said. âI heard from Brother Qin that you know Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang, but thereâs no need for you to get involved in this, right?â
Lin Yi pointed at Li Qingfeng. âSee that fatty beside Zhang Ao? His name is Li Qingfeng, and heâs here for me. Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang are extras for them to vent their anger.â
âF*ck, this is heaven-defying!â
âDonât worry, take your time.â
âMake way!â
At the same time, Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang hurried down the stairs with their men.
However, when they saw Zhang Ao, their expressions became very serious.
Li Qingfeng was nothing, but Zhang Ao was a tough one. Or rather, Wang Mazi, who was standing behind him, was the one that they couldnât afford to offend.
âBrother Zhang, youâre the best. You brought so many people to support us. Brother, Iâll arrange a big room for you. If you donât think itâs enough, Iâll clear the whole floor for you,â Yao Donglai said with a smile.
âSince youâre here, letâs gamble a bit as well.â
âOld Yao, donât mess around with me.â Zhang Ao threw the cigarette butt away.
âYou know whatâs going on. Youâre the one who messed up Old Liâs company, right? You even cheated him out of a few million yuan. Thatâs not fair.â
âThisâ¦â
âYao Donglai, Liu Qiang. We have known each other for some time, but we have to talk about this matter properly,â said Li Qingfeng.
âIâve been in the underworld for so many years, and Iâm not a pushover. Donât blame me, Li Qingfeng, for ignoring the code of conduct in the underworld if something doesnât change right now.â
âThen what do you want us to do?â Asked Yao Donglai.
âHand over the person who cheated me out of money today. Secondly, if you give me another million yuan, weâll call it even,â said Li Qingfeng.
âYou know how Zhang Bro is. Donât make a scene.â
âOld Li, thatâs a bit too much.â
âIâm too much?â Li Qingfeng laughed coldly.
âYou guys ripped me off for no reason. I didnât say you were too much then, but now youâre here complaining.â
âYou!â
âAlright, cut the crap.â Lin Yi said lightly. âYouâre just here to find me, right? Iâm here as well. Just come here and talk.â
Li Qingfeng tiptoed and looked over when he heard Lin Yiâs voice.
There were a few young men sitting in the booth in front of Mr. Fa, but their backs were all facing him.
However, he could tell that the person who spoke was the man who had extorted him during the day!
Even so, Lin Yi didnât turn his head at all. His back was facing Li Qingfeng and Zhang Ao, and he didnât let them see his face.
âLetâs go and take a look.â
Zhang Ao said with an unfriendly expression.
Here they were calling out for blood, but this guy was still sitting in place without flinching. This was pretty impressive.
Zhang Ao led his people and walked over alongside Li Qingfeng.
Wang Lu and the other girls were so scared that they didnât even dare to breathe. They stood aside quietly.
They were just here to experience the life of a nightclub. Why did this happen?
This really cast a shadow over these young girls who were visiting a club for the first time.
âBrother Zhang, itâs this kid. He cheated me out of several million yuan. Iâll have to trouble you to make the decision for me.â
Zhang Ao didnât respond. His face was full of surprise.
âIsnât this Young Master Qin?â
âOh, so it turns out you still remember me.â Qin Han crossed his legs and said indifferently, âOld Lin is my brother. What do you want to do about this?â
Li Qingfeng didnât know much about the rich second generation in Zhonghai, and he had always looked down on them. These rich second generation only knew how to spend their familyâs money.
Therefore, he didnât have any impression of Qin Han.
However, Zhang Ao was different. He had heard of Qin Hanâs name before.
âYoung Master Qin, donât worry about this matter. We have our own rules to follow. There are two ways we can go about this, but I must ask that you donât interfere,â said Zhang Ao.
âWhat? Do I, Qin Han, not even have any shred of reputation anymore?â
âThis isnât a matter of reputation, itâs just the rules of the underworld. You have to follow the rules when youâre out here, right?â Zhang Ao said.
âOtherwise, people like us would have made a fortune by now just by going around robbing civilians every day.â
Qin Han was about to speak when Lin Yi patted his leg and stopped him.
âHeâs already here, yet you want to settle things with just one sentence. Itâs against the rules to make him come all the way here for nothing. Thereâs always room for negotiation, so letâs talk slowly.â
Liu Changning stood on the side, trembling. Although he didnât like Lin Yi in his heart, the way he spoke and his attitude was really cool.
He was just like the big boss of those gangs.
âItâs good that youâre willing to talk. Things are not the way they were before, and we donât like fighting anymore. Letâs talk slowly.â
âOkay, Iâll give you a chance.â Lin Yi looked up at Li Qingfeng and said with a smile.
âActually, Iâve already told Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang to pick a time to kill you. I didnât expect you to rush here tonight. It looks like the king of Hell wants you to live a little longer. Iâm all ears now, so tell me what you think.â
Li Qingfeng shivered, feeling a little scared.
It was a good thing that he had brought Zhang Ao here tonight, or else he wouldnât have been able to see the sun tomorrow.
âMy request is very simple. Give me back the 15 million, and then give me two million for the mental damage you caused, and weâll call it even.â
Lin Yi poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
â11.2 million of the 15 million is for the construction done by Chaoyang Group. You want that back?â
âI made it very clear. Iâll pay up the money I owe Chaoyang Group, but Iâm a little short on cash. I need this money to support my other projects. Iâll pay you back when I have more money.â
âIf I remember correctly, thatâs what you said four months ago, and it stayed the same until today. When will you have the money?
âWhat if one day you get hit by a truck on the road and die? How are we going to get the money then?â
In Liu Changning and Wang Luâs eyes, Lin Yiâs words were just a hypothetical situation.
However, to Li Qingfeng, this was a blatant threat.
With these peopleâs methods, it wasnât difficult for them to cause a traffic accident.
âThis is the nature of the construction business. The capital turnover cycle is quite long, and four months isnât considered a long period. As long as you return the money, Iâll have enough funds to support the next project. Iâll be able to return the money to you soon,â Li Qingfeng said.
âWhat about you?â Lin Yi looked at Zhang Ao. âDo you have anything to say?â
Zhang Ao shrugged. âYou guys can handle the money-related matters yourself. Iâll only show up if a satisfactory conclusion cannot be reached.â
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. âIn other words, youâre supporting him in not paying back the money, right?â
âI already said that itâs up to you guys to handle the money-related matters. Itâs none of my business.â
âZhang Ao, thatâs a bit too much.â Qin Han said.
âYou donât even want to pay back the money you owe?â
âYoung Master Qin, Iâm just following the rules. I hope you can understand.â
When Li Qingfeng first looked for Zhang Ao, he had already made it clear to him that no matter how much money he got back, he would give him 30% of the final amount.
For this reason, he naturally wanted as much as possible, so he wouldnât interfere in this matter.
âAlright, Iâll handle this. Donât say anything else.â
Lin Yi looked at Li Qingfeng and said,
âYou want me to return the 15 million to you, and then pay you an additional two million for mental damage. You also want Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang to hand you another one million. Thatâs a total of 18 million, right?â
âThatâs right.â
Lin Yiâs expression froze as he looked at Li Qingfeng.
âAre you sure you wonât regret taking this 18 million?â
âWhy would I regret this? Itâs all money I deserve.â
With Zhang Ao here, Li Qingfengâs back was straight, and he wasnât afraid of Lin Yi.
âOkay.â
Lin Yi took out his checkbook and wrote the 18 million on it, then pushed it to Li Qingfeng.
âHereâs the money, take it.â
