“We are fine. They just threatened us and didn’t dare do anything to us.” Yang Li said.
“That is all right. You all go back first. I’m in Macau now. For the other matters, wait for me to come back to talk about it.” Yang Ming instructed Yang Li.
“Oh , that is fine. Then we shall go back first.” Yang Li listened to Yang Ming’s words and quickly agreed.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming was lost in thought. The problem that Yang Li mentioned seemed to be a trivial matter, but in reality, it could be a big problem. This kind of engineering equipment wasn’t sold to the public like a car, but it was a fixed sales target. The company or organization that purchased these things in each city was fixed. With that, it created a serious problem which was the local monopoly.
The threshold for construction machinery manufacturing wasn’t high. Many spare parts could be imported. As long as the a.s.sembly technology was pa.s.sed, engineering equipment such as trenchers and bulldozers could be manufactured. Many local small engineering companies could produce it. Although these companies didn’t have the strength like Ming Yang, they had a deep background and relations.h.i.+p in the local area. Hence, it was impossible for them to ignore Ming Yang Heavy Industry taking their business.
A warning would be considered light. If Uncle and they encountered a party with an underworld background, it was possible they would be beaten up and sent back. However, it wasn’t that there was no solution to it. It depended on personal means.
But in any case, Yang Ming had to go back and make a decision. After all, it involved some battles in the grey area. Both his father, Yang Dahai, and his uncle, Yang Dashan, weren’t good in such areas.
If Bao Sanli was sent to deal with it, he might escalate the matter and bring a group of people to kill them, so Yang Ming chose to have them temporarily yield.
……
When Zhang Bing received a call from w.a.n.g Mei, he quickly rushed to the place that w.a.n.g Mei had told him. It was a coffee shop, but the location was a bit remote. The store was not bad, and the interior decoration was also quite elegant.
Zhang Bing walked into the coffee shop quickly. There weren’t many people in the coffee shop at the moment. Zhang Bing saw w.a.n.g Mei wearing sungla.s.ses, and he couldn’t help but see a man beside her.
A tall thin man in his thirties, wearing a black suit, sat there with a gloomy expression.
w.a.n.g Mei was looking down and didn’t dare to look at Zhang Bing. Zhang Bing saw what was in front of him and faintly guessed something. He quickly walked over to the table and sat down.
“You are Zhang Bing?” The tall thin man asked Zhang Bing in a condescending tone.
Although Zhang Bing seduced the man’s girlfriend, he did not feel that it was his fault. Girlfriend, if you are not married, it means that there is no legal relations.h.i.+p between the two.
Looking up at the man in front of him, who was Liu Jihao, Zhang Bing said in disgust, “Who are you?”
” Oh , this kid is straight to the point!” Liu Jihao sneered at Zhang Bing, speaking softly.
“If you have anything, just say it. My schedule is very tight.” Zhang Bing mingled with Yang Ming quite often, so he was much calmer when he encountered something unlike the impulsive him in the past.
“Well, since you have this att.i.tude, we don’t have the need to talk about it.” With his eyebrows tightened, Liu Jihao said coldly, “I think you have already guessed who I am already. Right now, you touched my girlfriend. How do we settle this?”
” Hah , why are you so amusing as a person? You have already said it yourself. She is your girlfriend but not your wife!” Zhang Bing smiled a little contemptuously.
” Hmph ! Do you think I still want this b*tch?” Liu Jihao snorted. “Since you like her so much, then I will give her to you!”
” Oh ? That is great, so thank you very much.” After listening to Liu Jihao’s words, Zhang Bing suddenly became inexplicable, but what Liu Jihao said that was a good thing for Zhang Bing.
“You don’t want to be happy too early. We haven’t settled our score yet!” Liu Jihao smiled sinisterly.
“What score?” asked Zhang Bing.
“Now, w.a.n.g Mei is your woman, right?” asked Liu Jihao.
“What about it?” Zhang Bing still didn’t understand Liu Jihao’s intention.
“Alright, w.a.n.g Mei was with me for two years. In the past two years, the money I spent on her was spent for you. Don’t you think that you have to return the money?” Liu Jihao finally said his purpose.
Zhang Bing was stunned, but he immediately understood that Liu Jihao wanted to rip off a sum of money from Zhang Bing. Those words were excuses.
“Of course, you can just not give the money, but the consequences of not paying back the debt are very serious. Hehe …” Liu Jihao waved his hand. Two black-s.h.i.+rted macho men immediately stood up at a table not far behind him and came over. Liu Jihao pointed out to them, “I have spent ten million yuan on w.a.n.g Mei in the past two years. Since I also owe them ten million, I will pa.s.s it on to you! Right, I have forgotten to say that both of them are loan sharks. Aren’t you from the mainland? You don’t want to have something happen to you in Macau, right?”
“Ten million!” Zhang Bing heard this number and anger swelled up on his face.You spent ten million in two years? Are you trying to fool me?
“What? You don’t believe it? Then you ask w.a.n.g Mei!” Liu Jihao said with confidence as he pointed at w.a.n.g Mei at the side.
“What happened?” Zhang Bing looked up and gazed at w.a.n.g Mei.
“I… My mother was sick before. I had borrowed from the loan sharks… The interest kept rolling… Liu Jihao helped me to settle it…” w.a.n.g Mei explained in fear and trepidation.
When Zhang Bing heard w.a.n.g Mei, he knew what was going on. It is the usury again. It seems that Liu Jihao and the two loan sharks are probably on the same team. Liu Jihao found them to intimidate me and rip me off to get some cash.
“Did she borrow the money from both of you at the beginning?” Zhang Bing looked up at the two black men and asked slyly.
The faces of the two big men suddenly became red. Zhang Bing seemed to capture their inner thoughts.
“Don’t talk about that useless stuff.” Liu Jihao waved his hand. “Give me the money. Then, you can take her away!”
“Do you think I can come up with ten million?” Zhang Bing looked at Liu Jihao as thought Liu Jihao was a fool. Zhang Bing’s family indeed had a bit of money, but Zhang Jiefang only had a million max.
“Don’t you have a friend? Didn’t he hook up with the little rich woman? You can borrow from him!” Liu Jihao’s little rich woman was naturally Huang Lele.
After listening to this, Zhang Bing suddenly turned to w.a.n.g Mei with some anger! Why did w.a.n.g Mei tell everything to Liu Jihao?
“Call him and say that you owed usury. Let him come to pay for you!” Liu Jihao did not bother with Zhang Bing’s expression and said proudly.
“Are you sure you want me to call him?” Zhang Bing knew Yang Ming’s temper very well. If he really called Yang Ming, never mind paying the money, the three people in front of them would hardly leave in one piece.
If this were in Song Jiang, Zhang Bing would be thick skinned to call Yang Ming. As Yang Ming’s underling, Zhang Bing didn’t feel that anything was wrong to have Yang Ming wipe his a.s.s. It was reasonable.
However, in Macau, where they were unfamiliar with this area, Zhang Bing didn’t want to add any trouble to Yang Ming. The two loan sharks in front were obviously not good people, and maybe they had a relations.h.i.+p with the local gang. It would be a great trouble if they were provoked.
“Don’t talk nonsense, or else you would have a bad time.” Liu Jihao threatened blatantly.
Zhang Bing was hesitant. A wise man did not fight when the odds were against him. Zhang Bing knew that he wasn’t the opponent of these two macho men. If he didn’t make this call today, he wouldn’t have a good ending.
However, because this thing would drag Yang Ming down, Zhang Bing didn’t want to do this.
“You don’t want to call, right? Then you make the call!” Liu Jihao threw his phone in front of w.a.n.g Mei.
w.a.n.g Mei lowered her head. She didn’t speak and didn’t pick up the phone that Liu Jihao handed over.
“I’m asking you to call. Didn’t you hear me?” Liu Jihao shouted.
“I won’t call.” w.a.n.g Mei shook her head.
” Pa ” A loud slap in the face knocked the sungla.s.ses off of w.a.n.g Mei’s face. Liu Jihao broke into a rage. “Do you think that I can’t kill you?”
At this time, Zhang Bing saw that w.a.n.g Mei’s original delicate face was bruised everywhere! Because of the sungla.s.ses, and w.a.n.g Mei keeping her head down, Zhang Bing didn’t notice it!
“What happened to you? Is this what he did?” Zhang Bing was shocked. He was displeased with w.a.n.g Mei disclosing everything to Liu Jihao deep down in his heart before, but now he only had sympathy!
w.a.n.g Mei pursed her lips and didn’t speak, but her expression had already confirmed it.
“Motherf*cker!” Zhang Bing slammed the table and pointed at Liu Jihao. “You beat a woman? Are you still a man?”
“What? You feel sorry just like that?” Liu Jihao was indifferent and grinned, “If you feel sorry, then hand over the money quickly. You can feel hurt as much as you want when you go home. It doesn’t matter to me!”
Liu Jihao didn’t have smooth sailing in his business recently and lost a lot of money. He wasn’t the only son at home; he still had a younger brother. So, if he didn’t make up for the losses as soon as possible, his younger brother would most probably use it as an excuse to attack Liu Jihao, kicking him out of the core team of the company.
Liu Jihao already was in a bad mood, and w.a.n.g Mei just so happened to hit the sore spot. Initially, Liu Jihao didn’t doubt w.a.n.g Mei. He just said that she saw her in the parking lot of the casino and asked her why she lied to him.
However, Liu Jihao’s face wasn’t so good. w.a.n.g Mei was nervous deep down in her heart. She thought that Liu Jihao knew something, and she muttered for a long time not explaining anything.
With that, Liu Jihao’s suspicion grew even greater. He asked a little more and found that w.a.n.g Mei’s words were full of flaws. Under Liu Jihao’s intimidation and lies, he finally figured out that w.a.n.g Mei had an affair!
How would that end up well? Liu Jihao was already displeased, and yet his girlfriend did such a thing. He was so angry that he went up and threw punches and kicks, interrogating her about the situation of her affair.
At first, w.a.n.g Mei didn’t want to say it, but she couldn’t hold up against Liu Jihao’s beating. Hence, she told it all.
