Chapter 4595: Pushing the limits

"Brother, I know I was wrong and I will never touch this thing again." Liu Pingchuan said in a low voice.

"It's useless to just talk about it. It depends on what you do in the future." Lin Yi said.

"Believe me, I will never touch this thing again."

Liu Pingchuan was very excited when he spoke, and tried to express his determination in this way.

"It's OK as long as you have this intention. Let's go down and take a look first. Once this matter is dealt with, we can go back to celebrate the New Year."

After opening the car door, Lin Yi got out first, followed by others.

Even during the Chinese New Year, there are still many people in the mahjong parlor.

The smoky and foul atmosphere inside did not dampen their interest at all.

At the same time, seeing Lin Yi and others coming in, a short-haired man sitting in the corner stood up, holding a cigarette in his hand, and walked towards them.

"We were just looking for you, but we didn't expect you to come here by yourself. Are you here to pay back the money?"

Liu Pingchuan didn't dare to speak, so Lin Yi spoke at this time:

"You guys calculate how much money he owes you, and I'll help him pay it back."

The short-haired man took a look at Lin Yi and could tell from the way he was dressed that he was very rich.

"You guys come with me."

The short-haired man, holding a cigarette in his mouth, led the way, all the way up to the third floor, and arrived at the door of an office.

"Brother Zhu, Liu Bingpingchuan is here to pay back the money."

There was a bearded man sitting in the office, playing poker with two other people. The floor was filled with cigarette butts and smoke, and the situation was not much better than on the first floor.

The man's name is Zhu Zhenqiang, and he is the owner of this mahjong parlor.

He has a few people under him who have been following him. Over the years, they have made a lot of money by running mahjong halls and loan sharking.

Seeing Liu Pingchuan coming, Zhu Zhenqiang put down the poker in his hand and said with a smile:

"You college students are trustworthy and take the initiative to pay back the money you owe. You are much better than others."

Liu Pingchuan stood there without daring to speak, just looking at Lin Yi.

"Calculate how much money he owes you in total, and I'll help him pay it back," said Lin Yi.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll do the math now."

Zhu Zhenqiang returned to his desk, opened the drawer, took out the account book, and then used the computer to calculate for a while.

"The total is 204 million. Since you took the initiative to pay the money back, I will round off the amount to 200 million."

"My brother said he only owed you 40 yuan, how come it has become 200 million yuan now?" said Li Xiaoyue.

"After going back and forth, he did borrow 40 yuan from me, but it's been more than four months, and we have to charge some interest. We can't just do it for nothing," Zhu Zhenqiang said as a matter of course.

“But isn’t your interest of 160 million a bit outrageous? You guys wouldn’t do that.” Lin Yi said calmly.

"Do you think we are a bank? The interest rate is 200%. It's only million. Pay it back quickly. If you wait until tomorrow, the price will not be the same."

"elder brother……"

Liu Bingchuan's voice trembled. Before this, he had never thought that the interest rate would be so high, but this was all within Lin Yi's expectations.

"Some things can't be done too outrageously. It's definitely impossible to ask for 200 million. I'll give you 60 including principal and interest, so you can earn more. But if you don't agree to this number, I can't do anything about it."

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Zhu Zhenqiang looked at him several times.

I found that this person had a very unusual temperament and did not seem like an ordinary person.

"From the way you talk, I know you are a gangster. Since you are a gangster, I know the rules of this industry. You should pay me 200 yuan for a 60 million yuan debt. I don't do that."

Zhu Zhenqiang lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair and looked at Lin Yi, "I'm going to make this clear today, 100 million, no less."

"Then there's nothing. You can slowly ask him for it and see if he can pay you back. But I want to make it clear that if anything happens to my brother, I will have a good talk with you."

Zhu Zhenqiang was smoking a cigarette with a serious expression, and he was a little confused about what to do for a moment.

People in their line of work also have their own rules.

He himself knew that no matter what, he could not offer 200 million. He said this just to scare them, then bargain and decide on a final price.

The current situation makes it a bit difficult for him.

The man in front of me must have seen some ups and downs, otherwise he wouldn't talk to me in such an attitude.

Given the current situation, it is unlikely to force them to come up with 100 million.

"Okay, then 60. Transfer the money to me now."

Zhu Zhenqiang handed his bank account number to Lin Yi.

"Give me the IOU first."

Opening the cabinet in the office, Zhu Zhenqiang found the IOU and handed it to Lin Yi.

"You borrowed from me eight times in total, for a total of 40 yuan. Pay me back the money, and we'll be clear of everything." Zhu Zhenqiang said.

After taking a look at the IOU, Lin Yi showed it to Liu Pingchuan again.

"These are the words you signed at the beginning."

"Well, I owe you this."

Holding the IOU, Lin Yi took a lighter and burned it in front of him.

Zhu Zhenqiang didn't say anything and just kept staring at Lin Yi's movements.

Lin Yi used his bank card information and transferred 60 yuan to Zhou Zhenqiang.

"Now that the money has been transferred, we are done with each other. Don't look for my brother again."

"What a straightforward person you are. Goodbye. Come back to me if you need money next time."

Lin Yi and his companions turned and left. Zhu Zhenqiang looked at their backs with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Qiang, are you still going to play?"

The person who spoke was a yellow-haired man named Li Chungang. He was the most capable fighter under Zhu Zhenqiang and he was responsible for collecting many of the debts.

"The fat sheep has been delivered to the door, what's the point of playing this game?"

"Brother Qiang, you don't have any thoughts about them, do you?"

Zhu Zhenqiang nodded. "To be able to take out 60 yuan in one go, that man must be very rich. He made 20 yuan from this order, so he lost a bit."

After hearing what Zhu Zhenqiang said, his men also understood what was going on.

"Then think of a way to make more money from him," said Li Chungang.

"Does anyone know where his home is?"

"I remember it was the Blue Sky Orphanage. I had already thought about it at that time. If he didn't pay back the money, I would go to their house to ask for it back. I didn't expect that he would come here to pay back the money today." Li Chungang said.

"But the IOUs were burned, and we don't have them anymore, so we can't ask him for the money anymore."

"It's easy, just forge one."

"I feel that the man is quite rich. He should be able to afford several hundred thousand yuan." Li Chungang said:

"We'll go there tomorrow and bring more people with us. If he doesn't pay us, we won't leave."

"That's a good idea. I'll do as you say."
