Chapter 720: Usury
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Little Bao, go there first.” Yang Ming looked up at Bao Sanli who was driving in front, and then he gave a command.
“Okay, Brother Yang.” Bao Sanli nodded and replied.
“Right, Little Yang, why do you call him Little Bao, and he calls you Brother Yang?” Lin Changqing asked curiously.
“Ugh?” Yang Ming was speechless. He didn’t think of this problem. Bao Sanli was also sweating, but fortunately, he was smart. “Uncle, I look more old-fas.h.i.+oned…”
“Oh…” Lin Changqing just asked simply. His mind wasn’t on this question at the moment, so there was no more question.
Most of the other people in the vehicle also had this thought. Now they were thinking about the matters of He Lulu’s family, so they obviously wouldn’t pay attention to these little things.
Along the way, no one talked. The car went down the Dongsong Expressway and entered the Song Jiang City area. Then they headed to the place that He Lulu told them about.
This was an old industrial area. Then it was transformed into a distribution center for Song Jiang’s foreign trade. There were several large-scale foreign trade wholesale markets, and on the market side, there were many tall buildings. The trading companies were crowded on top. He Lulu’s family’s Zhibo trade was also located above.
The van stopped at the door of the trade building. Before the van stopped completely, He Lulu couldn’t wait to open the door and jump out. As for Shen Yuefeng, he was following behind her to get out.
“We…” Shen Yueping just wanted to ask if they were going up together but she was interrupted by Yang Ming.
“Aunty Shen, let them go. Let’s wait here.” For He Lulu’s matters, Yang Ming was too lazy to bother.
Seeing that Yang Ming said so, Shen Yueping also knew that Yang Ming’s heart was displeased with He Lulu. She sighed and didn’t get out of the car. However, she looked anxiously in the direction that Shen Yuefeng and his girlfriend went.
Shen Yuefeng and He Lulu didn’t even wait for the elevator. They ran directly to the company’s office on the third floor. He Lulu pushed the door and saw a group of fierce macho men surrounding her father’s office.
The person who was sitting in the boss’ chair wasn’t her father, but a one-armed middle-aged fat man with a bald head.
“Dad!” He Lulu nervously shouted to He Zhibo who was standing beside the fat man.
“Lulu? How come you are here?” He Zhibo was shocked. He said, “This is none of your business. Go home quickly!”
Just now, Old Yao had already told He Zhibo about the news of He Lulu’s return. This time, he didn’t have half of the joy he usually had when his daughter came back. He hoped that his daughter wouldn’t come back first.
“Oh? I say, President He, is this your daughter who is studying for her Ph.D. abroad? Good, good! She is quite charming!” said Du Duzi as he smacked his tongue.
“Who are you? Are you harming my father?” He Lulu glared at Du Duzi.
“Who am I? Then ask your father!” Du Duzi spread his hands in the air and made a very innocent posture. “As for me, I harm your father? What would I harm him for?”
“He Lulu, don’t make trouble. Listen to me. Go home!” He Zhibo was anxious. He was afraid that Du Duzi would be unfavorable to He Lulu. He looked at Shen Yuefeng who was beside her. “Are you the boyfriend, Little Shen, that Lulu mentioned? You take Lulu and leave here! Please take care of Lulu.”
What He Zhibo said was equivalent to admitting the relations.h.i.+p between Shen Yuefeng and He Lulu. He now hoped that Shen Yuefeng could quickly persuade He Lulu to leave here. The others weren’t important. What’s more, he would soon lose everything. Did he have the right to pick a son-in-law?
“Lulu… we…” Shen Yuefeng hesitated and pulled He Lulu’s hand.
“You are a coward! What are you afraid of?” He Lulu swung her hand and said, “If you want to go, go by yourself. I won’t leave!”
As He Lulu said this, she glared at Du Duzi. “Doesn’t my dad just owe you money? Why do you force him? You are talking so weird! How much is owed? We will repay you!”
“Oh? Great!” Du Duzi clapped his hands and laughed. “That’s good. If this is the case, then pay back the money. Your dad owes me… En, I will give him a discount. Wipe a fraction, ten million yuan will be good!”
“What? Ten million yuan!” He Lulu was surprised that she dropped her jaws widely. “How is it so much?”
“However, I have already discounted a lot of interest for you!” Du Duzi sneered and said, “I am discussing with your dad to use his company to pay off his debt!”
“Dad, how do you owe so much money?” He Lulu asked inexplicably, “Is he cheating you?”
“Who knows that the interest in usury would be so high… I only borrowed one million yuan in the beginning…” He Zhibo said bitterly.
“What? One million yuan?” He Lulu was enraged after hearing that. She pointed at Du Duzi and said, “You are scamming people! We owe you one million yuan. Why do you want us to return ten million yuan?”
“Every house has its rules! We who run the money shop have our way to calculate the interest. If you think it’s too high, you can choose not to borrow. No one is forcing you to borrow money.” Du Duzi snorted and said, “Alright. If you owe money then you should pay it back. This is the rule. If you sleep with me for two nights, I will probably give you another discount.”
“You… are shameless!” He Lulu stomped her feet and said furiously, “Yuefeng, let’s call the police! I don’t believe the police can’t deal with people like you!”
As He Lulu spoke, Du Duzi laughed arrogantly. “Ha ha ha ha ha! Little Chick, have you just returned from Mars to study? Call the police? I have the receipt for the loan. I’m not afraid if you report it to anyone!”
“What you are doing is extortion!” He Lulu said, “I really want to know. If I borrow a million yuan, why am I repaying ten million yuan?”
“Okay, then you report it! I, Du Duzi, will say this, little chick. I’ll tell you this. Unless you hide abroad forever, you will suffer for a long time!” Du Duzi’s face became sullen and said cold.
Du Duzi was actually afraid of making the matters bigger. If He Lulu reported to the police, not only would he be unable to persuade the police, but after he came back, he might be eliminated by Bao Sanli.
So, when He Lulu threatened to call the police, Du Duzi also became ruthless. He threatened her in return.
“Enough, Lulu! Stop messing around! There is something you don’t understand!” He Zhibo said while he was shocked in his heart. Who was Du Duzi? He was from the underworld! These people were unscrupulous in their ways of doing things. How can He Zhibo be vengeful with people like them?
If He Lulu reported to the police today, the matters may be solved, but the subsequent troubles were endless! Du Duzi had suffered a loss. Could he let them go?
In the future, He Zhibo’s family didn’t have to think about doing business in Song Jiang again! Unless there was someone important to mediate it or directly cover the He Family, otherwise, they could only run.
“Dad, how can I not understand? To deal with the bad guys, the weaker you are, the madder they are!” He Lulu said loudly, “Once we call the police, they will be afraid! He is doing extortion. It is a big crime! Do you still think that he can come out? He will be sentenced quickly!”
“Ai!” He Zhibo sighed. My daughter just stepped onto society. How can she know so much? Even if Du Duzi is sentenced, what about his underlings? If they come to look trouble every day, it would be difficult! At that time, my family will be ruined.
“Well, I would let you call the police!” Du Duzi gritted his teeth and said to the other underlings, “You guys see this. If anything happens to me, do you guys know what to do?”
“Do not worry, Brother Du. Our daily life always has a risk. Adding He Family onto the list wouldn’t be too much!” Du Duzi’s several underlings answered.
As expected! He Zhibo took a cold breath, and at this moment, He Lulu finally understood why Du Duzi would be fearless! He seized the weakness of human nature that was afraid of retaliation!
“Alright, Lulu. You and Little Shen should go home first. I’m going to do the formalities with Boss Du.” He Zhibo sighed. Now, this is all I can do!
“But…” He Lulu was looking at her father’s company falling into the other’s hand so easily. Her heart was feeling extremely bitter.
……
“Old Lin, Yuefeng, they went up for so long. Would something happen?” Shen Yueping looked at her watch and said anxiously.
“Who knows? Ai…” Lin Changqing sighed. I didn’t expect my little brother-in-law to be caught up with such a thing as soon as he returned.
“Yang Ming, I don’t feel relieved. Me and Uncle Lin will go and take a look. You and Zhiyun wait downstairs. If something is wrong, it is also easy to ask for help.” Shen Yueping couldn’t sit still, so she said this.
“Let’s go then. Go up and see.” Yang Ming couldn’t help it. Although he didn’t want to bother about it, Shen Yuefeng was still Lin Zhiyun’s uncle. After Yang Ming said it, he glanced at Bao Sanli. Then like he was talking to himself, he said, “Song Jiang’s usury is really bad*ss, right?”
Yang Ming’s seemingly unintentional words made the sweat on Bao Sanli’s head come out! Obviously, Yang Ming was questioning him with this! Bao Sanli had just gotten Yang Ming’s affirmation. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Wasn’t this letting Yang Ming doubt Bao Sanli’s ability?
It wasn’t easy for Bao Sanli to sit in his current position. Although he seemed to be the boss of Song Jiang, only he knew about his current situation. The power of Song Jiang’s underworld had been divided. Hou Zhenhan had taken up more than half, and Hou Zhenhan still held the financial power! This was the lifeline of the gang’s growth!
And he, himself, in fact, dealt more with the underworld’s matters. To say it bluntly, if another person took over the position, he could do it as well! Therefore, if Yang Ming was displeased with him, it was easy for him to get rid of Bao Sanli.
So, at this moment, Bao Sanli was so angry right now. Usury, is it? Okay, I will deal with you today! He would like to see who had the guts to create trouble for him!
Lin Changqing and Shen Yueping walked in the front. Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun were in the middle, and Bao Sanli followed at the back. They found He Lulu’s father’s company.
Shen Yueping pushed the door open with worry. She was at ease when she saw that Shen Yuefeng was fine. “Yuefeng, sister-in-law, are you alright?”
“Sister, brother-in-law, how come you are here?” Shen Yuefeng looked at the door and said, “We are fine. Let’s go quickly!”
