Fan Biao couldn't believe his eyes. Where on earth did these two clowns come from? They were so stupid that they actually threw the IOU right at him. He bent down, picked up the IOU, and ripped it to shreds with a sneer on his face. "What IOU? We don't owe you a dime!"
Ye Long furrowed his brows and asked coldly, "Are you trying to renege on the debt?"
Fan Biao laughed mockingly. "Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. What are you gonna do about it? Beat the hell out of them and dump them at the entrance of Zhou Group. Teach them a lesson so they won't dare to come asking for money again!" As Fan Biao gave his orders, he yawned, put his arm around the finance girl's waist, and swaggered back into the company.
A group of burly men in suits quickly surrounded Ye Long and Lu Hu. Soon, the sounds of a fierce brawl filled the air.
The finance girl snuggled up to Fan Biao and cooed, "Biao Ge, aren't you going to check it out?"
"Why watch that? I'd rather watch you." Fan Biao leered, squeezing the girl's waist.
"You're so bad!" The girl giggled and playfully punched Fan Biao in the chest. The two of them, laughing and flirting, walked into the office.
"Ah..." Horrible screams came from outside. Fan Biao and the girl stopped at the office door and turned to look outside. Usually, when his goons fought, it wasn't this noisy. What was going on today? And why were the screams so agonizing?
Just then, several more screams rang out. Fan Biao's heart sank. Something was seriously wrong. He rushed outside immediately.
The scene in front of him left him dumbfounded. His goons were either kneeling on the ground or rolling around in pain. Meanwhile, Ye Long and Lu Hu didn't even have a scratch on them.
"It's not exciting enough." Lu Hu shook his head, looking unsatisfied. When he saw Fan Biao come out, he pounced like a tiger and slapped Fan Biao across the face.
Before Fan Biao could react, his head crashed into the wall with a loud thud. "Ah..." Fan Biao covered his face with both hands and got up from the ground, howling in pain. Blood gushed from his head and mouth.
"Ah!" The finance girl, who had followed him out, was so scared that her face turned pale. She let out a scream and ran away.
"You two are dead meat!" Fan Biao gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain. He took out his phone and started making a call. Ye Long and Lu Hu stood by, not bothering to stop him.
Five minutes later, two sedans and three SUVs screeched to a halt. The doors flew open, and a middle - aged man with a potbelly charged out, leading a group of thugs.
"Boss!" Fan Biao, seeing the man, rushed towards him like he was seeing a savior.
The potbellied man, Li Zhaoming, was fuming. "Who did this?" he roared.
"Boss, it's them!" Fan Biao pointed a blood - stained hand at Ye Long and Lu Hu.
Ye Long stepped forward calmly. "Mr. Li, we're from Zhou Group, here to collect the debt. Not only did you refuse to pay, but you also ordered your men to attack us. What's the meaning of this?"
Li Zhaoming looked at Fan Biao, skeptical. Could these two really have taken down so many of his men? Fan Biao wailed, "Boss, you have to avenge us!"
Li Zhaoming's face darkened. "Attack them!" he commanded.
One of his lackeys charged forward like a wild wolf, throwing a powerful punch at Lu Hu's chest. Everyone watched with bated breath.
Lu Hu stood as still as a statue, a sneer on his face. The lackey, on the other hand, suddenly grabbed his fist and backed away, his face contorted in pain. His knuckles were clearly broken.
"I'll take a shot!" Another lackey, not to be outdone, swung a thick, hollow steel pipe at Lu Hu's left temple. With a loud clang, the pipe dropped to the ground. The lackey clutched his wrist, wincing in pain.
Everyone stared at Lu Hu in disbelief, except for Ye Long, who remained calm. Lu Hu shook his head in disdain. "Is that all you've got? I'm ashamed for you!"
Lu Hu's figure blurred as he charged into the crowd like a whirlwind, throwing punches and kicks. Several lackeys were sent flying, moaning on the ground.
Li Zhaoming and Fan Biao stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing. Suddenly, Lu Hu loomed over Li Zhaoming like a mountain. Li Zhaoming was so scared that his legs gave out, and he dropped to his knees.
In an instant, all of Li Zhaoming's thugs were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Lu Hu stared coldly at Li Zhaoming. Li Zhaoming trembled all over and begged for mercy. "Brother, don't hurt me! I'll pay back the money. I'll pay the full 30 million right away!"
Lu Hu glanced at Ye Long. Ye Long walked forward. "Mr. Li, you've been stalling on this debt for a long time. You should pay some interest. Let's round it up to 40 million. The extra 10 million is for interest."
Li Zhaoming was taken aback. Just as he was about to protest, Lu Hu's huge hand slapped him across the face. "Ah!" Li Zhaoming let out a scream and fell to the ground. He struggled to get up, feeling his face burning, his head spinning, and his stomach churning.
Seeing Lu Hu about to strike again, Li Zhaoming shouted, "I'll pay! I'll pay 40 million!" He rushed to his car in a panic, took out a briefcase, and filled out a check.
Then, he walked up to Lu Hu, bowed humbly, and handed the check to him with both hands. Lu Hu took the check and passed it to Ye Long. Ye Long glanced at the check. It was for 40 million. He fixed his steely gaze on Li Zhaoming. "If this check bounces, the consequences will be far worse than just 40 million."
Li Zhaoming nodded vigorously. "Two brothers, don't worry. If it bounces, come after me!"
"Okay, let's go." Ye Long turned around, got on his electric scooter, and rode away. Lu Hu also got into his Hummer and sped off.
Li Zhaoming collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. "Boss, are you okay?" Fan Biao staggered over.
Li Zhaoming gritted his teeth. "Liu Hongxia, that bitch!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He took out his phone and dialed Liu Hongxia's number.
At that moment, Liu Hongxia was resting in bed at home. Hearing the phone ring, she picked it up and saw that it was Li Zhaoming calling. A strange look flashed across her eyes, but she answered the call. "Mr. Li, hello. What can I do for you?"
Li Zhaoming's anger erupted like a volcano. "Liu Hongxia, you slut! Our cooperation is over! No more business between us! You'll pay for this. I won't rest until I get revenge!" With that, he hung up the phone angrily.
Liu Hongxia stared at the phone, her face turning ashen. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She got up and rushed out of the bedroom.
Li Zhaoming still couldn't let it go. He dialed Wu Yunhong's number. When the call connected, he said urgently, "Hong Ye, please help me teach two people a lesson!"
At that time, Wu Yunhong was lying in a hospital bed. One hand and one foot were in casts, his body was wrapped in bandages, and he had an IV drip in his other hand. He groaned in pain. "Mr. Li, what happened? Tell me about it."
Li Zhaoming recounted the whole story. "It's that bitch Liu Hongxia. She hired two powerful fighters out of nowhere and they trashed all my men..."
Wu Yunhong's heart skipped a beat. "Is one of them extremely burly, like a mountain?"
Li Zhaoming was surprised. "Hong Ye, how did you know?"
Wu Yunhong said, "Send me a photo of him right away. We'll talk later." Then he hung up.
Although Li Zhaoming was puzzled, he asked the security guard to take a photo from the surveillance room and send it to Wu Yunhong. Soon, Wu Yunhong called back. "Mr. Li, you're in deep trouble. This guy previously disabled five of my top men and even hurt me. I'm still lying in the hospital. Don't even think about getting revenge. He's incredibly powerful and fearless. If you mess with him again, your whole family could be in danger!"
Li Zhaoming's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the phone. Was this guy really that terrifying? Even Hong Ye was so afraid of him?
Wu Yunhong thought about Li Zhaoming's harsh words to Liu Hongxia on the phone and broke out in a cold sweat. No, he had to fix this! Li Zhaoming picked up the phone from the ground, rushed to his car like a madman, and sped away.
