2467 I Have Connections Too

Therefore, no matter how reluctant Li Boyu was, he had to go out with Pan Zirui and Gu Ning. However, he decided to deny it. He didn't think that they could force him to admit it.

He had that idea, because he didn't know that those gangsters had a voice recording of their call.

"Fine, it's too noisy here. Let's go out and have a talk. I need to know what exactly you want to talk about with me." For the sake of his face, Li Boyu agreed to go out with them, but he still said that on purpose to make it seem as if he wasn't wrong and it was Pan Zirui's fault.

From the very beginning, everyone knew that he must have done something terrible to Pan Zirui for Pan Zirui to confront him now, but the others were all his friends, so none of them said anything. Even if he was wrong, they would still side with him.

Moreover, because of Li Boyu's family background, they had to maintain a good relationship with him in order to please him.

"Lord Li, do you need us to go out with you?" asked one man. He was really worried about Li Boyu. After all, Pan Zirui was from a rich family as well, so it was possible that Pan Zirui would beat Li Boyu.

Gu Ning didn't care about that at all. Even if they had the talk right here, she wouldn't mind if other people heard it.

Li Boyu, on the contrary, didn't want to embarrass himself, especially in front of his friends. "No need, I'll just go out with them alone."

Since Li Boyu said that, the others didn't insist.

Afterwards, Li Boyu went out with Gu Ning and Pan Zirui alone.

They didn't go to an unobtrusive place and just stood outside near the bar.

"What is it?" Li Boyu asked calmly, as if he was innocent.

"Lord Li, I know you've paid a bunch of gangsters from the Kirin Gang to smash my club, but I don't know why you did that. There is no conflict between us. Do you know that I've lost over a million yuan due to the trouble you caused me? So, if you can pay the money back to me, I can forgive you this time. Otherwise I'll have to call the police," said Pan Zirui.

Because of Gu Ning's support, he was very confident at this moment. He sounded tough and wasn't afraid of Li Boyu's family background at all.

Normally, he would be much gentler keeping Li Boyu's family background in mind.

Because Li Boyu already guessed the reason why Pan Zirui came to see him, he wasn't surprised now. However, when Pan Zirui wanted him to pay over a million yuan, he couldn't stay calm any longer.

Although his father was the vice mayor, he didn't have so much money. After all, a senior official only had power and didn't get much money, unless his father accepted bribery.

Li Boyu understood that his father had done that, or his family couldn't live such a good life, but he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted either.

Anyway, he couldn't let the others know about it. Besides, even though his father accepted bribery, his father didn't give him much money.

In fact, the two hundred thousand yuan he paid the bunch of gangsters to smash Pan Zirui's club wasn't his money.

"Pan Zirui, do you have any evidence to prove that I've paid them to smash your club? You can't hurl the blame on me for no reason," said Li Boyu. He refused to admit it.

His father was the vice mayor, so he wasn't afraid even if Pan Zirui called the police. However, if Pan Zirui didn't have evidence, it would be much easier to solve the problem. If Pan Zirui had, it would be a little tricky.

"Li Boyu, if I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't come to see you. I know where and when you met. I also have the screenshots of the surveillance videos, the transaction of your deal, and the voice recording of your call. Aren't those enough? If you continue to deny it, I'll hand the evidence to the police," said Pan Zirui, threatening him again.

"You…" Li Boyu was struck dumb. To his surprise, they had everything to prove his bad deed.

In that case, it would be impossible for him to deny it. However, he still refused to face it, so he said, "Where is the evidence? Let me have a look. I don't believe your words."

Li Boyu still hoped that he could have good luck and that Pan Zirui was simply bluffing.

"No problem," said Gu Ning this time. The next moment, she took out her phone and played the voice recording.

Because there was no one around, nobody else would hear it.

As soon as Li Boyu saw her take out her phone, he realized that they really had evidence, but he didn't give up until he heard his own voice from the recording.

"Li Boyu, why did you do that? There is no grudge between us after all," asked Pan Zirui. He wanted Li Boyu to pay the compensation and he also needed to know the reason.

"I just dislike you." Because they had evidence, Li Boyu stopped denying it. Instead, he threatened. "Pan Zirui, my father is the vice mayor. Do you think you can punish me by calling the police?"

Unfortunately, when Li Boyu said that, he didn't have much confidence, because it wouldn't do him any good if Pan Zirui really called the police.

"Do you think I have to accept the loss? Just because you dislike me, you paid a bunch of gangsters to ruin my business? It's ridiculous! Li Boyu, do you think I'll submit to the humiliation?" Pan Zirui sneered.

It was indeed ridiculous that Li Boyu paid a bunch of gangsters to smash Pan Zirui's club simply because he disliked him.

Pan Zirui wasn't convinced by that excuse. He believed there must be other reasons.

Li Boyu said nothing at this time, because he didn't know what he could say now.

"Li Boyu, are you paying me back or not? If not, I'll call the police right now. Don't be so confident. You might not be able to get away with it. If I was not sure that you'd be punished, I wouldn't come to see you. After all, I have connections too," said Pan Zirui confidently.

"You…" Li Boyu was a little scared. It was true that the Pan family also had some influence in this city.
