A few months ago, someone had indeed come here to collect debts, only to be crippled by them!
After that, no one dared to come collecting debts anymore.
Everyone knew that this company had a group of idle social thugs, and it seemed to be backed by a major figure in the underground forces.
Where did these two clueless youngsters come from?
Didn't anyone tell these two that coming here to collect debts could get them killed?
The tattooed man threw his dominoes onto the table and looked at the two with a smile, "Say that again, I didn't quite hear you. What are you here for?"
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow, "We're here to collect a debt!"
The tattooed man slammed the table and stood up, walking over. He pointed his finger at Ye Cangtian and said, "You're looking for death, daring to come... Ah!"
Ye Cangtian grabbed the man's finger with one hand and applied a little force, causing the man to cry out in pain.
The tattooed man felt like his hand was about to break and roared, "What are you all standing around for? Go!"
At this moment, the others finally reacted, dropping their dominoes and rushing forward.
Tang Xiaowu couldn't help but step back a few paces. Although he was a little nervous seeing the scene, he wasn't overly worried.
After all, he had already witnessed Ye Cangtian's prowess in the underground casino last time. He believed his brother-in-law could still handle these guys with ease!
As expected!
As these thugs charged at Ye Cangtian, he directly broke the tattooed man's finger and then engaged the dozen or so thugs.
After a series of dull thuds and screams.
Soon, those guys were lying on the ground, groaning.
Ye Cangtian walked directly up to the tattooed man. It was clear that this guy held the highest position here.
"Do I need to say it again?"
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and exhaled a smoke ring, glancing at the man.
The tattooed man clutched his broken finger, sweat beading on his forehead from the pain. He looked at Ye Cangtian warily and answered with difficulty,
"Brother, I was wrong, but I'm not the boss of this company either. I can't produce the money!"
"Then I'll give you thirty minutes to find someone who can make decisions."
Ye Cangtian didn't mind. He pulled over a chair and sat down leisurely, smoking.
He could tell that these guys were just enforcers or henchmen.
For a money-laundering company like this, he didn't believe there wasn't someone with a powerful background pulling the strings. Therefore, he could wait for them to summon their superior.
The tattooed man was stunned, then beckoned a subordinate with his other hand, lowering his voice, "Go invite Big Brother!"
When faced with such a ruthless individual, this matter could only be handled by Big Brother!
He believed that with his Big Brother's status, this person before him would probably be greatly surprised later, and would have to kneel and admit his mistake.
...
In less than half an hour, three cars arrived outside the company.
A black Maybach with license plate XX888, and two Wuling Hongguang vans.
As the car doors opened, a subordinate got out and held up an umbrella against the bright sun for Guo Hai, who, wearing sunglasses, descended from the car.
He held a cigar in his mouth, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Demanding debts from my Guo Hai? Who is that person? Are there really only two of them?"
The subordinate who had reported informed him, "Big Brother, the person is upstairs. He injured several of our brothers, and even broke Brother Qiang's finger."
"So arrogant, it seems he doesn't put me, Guo Hai, in his eyes!"
Guo Hai snorted, then waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go up and see!"
Soon, the dozen or so subordinates who had alighted from the two vans, retrieved their weapons from the car trunks, and followed Guo Hai menacingly.
Guo Hai had managed to expand his sand and gravel business and monopolize the entire Yangzhou over the years, also because of his ruthless nature.
In his early years, he fought his way up with a group of brothers. Once he became successful, he began to coerce and intimidate other sand and gravel business owners.
Gradually, he seized the entire sand and gravel business in Yangzhou for himself. With his sole dominance, real estate developers were forced to purchase sand and gravel from him at high prices.
Therefore, Guo Hai was not only wealthy and influential now but also very arrogant in his dealings. Even within the underworld, he dared to confront figures like Liu Rumei and Liu Zhendong.
He led his men impositively up to the third floor.
The tattooed men and others, who had been cowering, were overjoyed to see Guo Hai arrive with reinforcements.
"Big Brother!"
"You're finally here, Big Brother, you must seek justice for your brothers!"
The thugs, bruised and battered, began to feign misery, recounting their grievances and complaints.
Guo Hai cursed inwardly: Useless people!
However, they were all his subordinates, and their being beaten was a blow to his reputation. So, he couldn't help but shout, "Who injured my brothers? Whoever beat them, didn't they bother to find out who Guo Hai is!"
He casually glanced over and saw Ye Cangtian sitting in the center of the hall.
First, he was stunned, then Guo Hai's eyelids twitched. He said with disbelief, "It's you... Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye!"
Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised, not expecting this company to belong to this person.
Although they had met a few days ago, they weren't exactly familiar.
Seeing the dozen or twenty subordinates behind him charging forward menacingly with weapons, he raised an eyebrow, "It seems this company is yours. What? Are you planning to use force?"
"Mr. Ye, you misunderstand. If I had known it was Mr. Ye, how could I have brought any subordinates!" Guo Hai managed a strained smile.
Although he was very displeased by the man's lack of respect, especially since he had previously lowered himself to invite him, and the man had refused to give him face.
However, he also knew that this person was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
Ye Cangtian nodded, not beating around the bush, and directly stated, "My brother-in-law has a sum of money in your company. He couldn't get it back, so I've come to collect it on his behalf!"
Tang Xiaowu quickly took out a receipt and handed it over.
Guo Hai glanced at it and smiled, "It's only five million. As long as Mr. Ye has any needs, let alone five million, even fifty million I..."
Ye Cangtian held up a hand to stop him and said calmly, "As I said before, I don't get involved in matters I'm not interested in. This five million is simply to help my brother-in-law retrieve what rightfully belongs to him. You don't need to give any interest."
He absolutely would not get involved with the man in any way!
Guo Hai fell silent. He had intended to use this opportunity to converse with the man, but unexpectedly, the man had cut straight to the point.
He gave Ye Cangtian a deep look, then said to his subordinates behind him, "Give him the money!"
Soon, a card was placed in Tang Xiaowu's hand.
Ye Cangtian didn't linger. He stood up and left with Tang Xiaowu.
Only after the two of them left did Guo Hai's face gradually turn grim, and he couldn't help but kick over a chair in the center of the hall!
"This is too much!"
In that moment, he even had the urge to order his men to attack!
But he had personally witnessed the man's formidable power at the seaside teahouse that day, so he worried that his own men were no match for him.
