Chapter 33 I Didn't Lie to You
The young man's face turned cold as he said, "Zi Qing, what do you mean?? You still owe me twenty thousand, I'm just asking you to pay back two thousand for now, I've been more than fair. Don't you dare play any tricks; if you really piss me off, you'll regret it!!"
Zi Qing replied anxiously, "I really didn't get my salary today, I'm not lying to you."
Today was supposed to be payday, which was why she put up with the boss's harassment yesterday and still showed up today—to collect her wages and then quit. But she hadn't anticipated the incident with the middle-aged woman, and in the end, she forgot to ask the boss for her salary.
Liu Wentian, puzzled, asked, "Who is he, and you owe him twenty thousand??"
It was only then that the young man noticed Liu Wentian and snorted coldly, "Kid, who are you?? Are you Zi Qing's boyfriend?? Are you going to pay off her debt for her??"
Liu Wentian ignored him and waited for Zi Qing's answer instead.
Zi Qing explained, "Once before, I suddenly fell ill and fainted on the road. A passerby took me to the hospital, but I didn't have the money to pay for the medical expenses. It was this man who lent me ten thousand yuan so I could cover the bill."
Liu Wentian, puzzled, asked, "If he lent you ten thousand yuan, why is he demanding twenty thousand from you now?? Could it be that he's charging usury??"
Zi Qing said with a sense of injustice, "Actually, I've already paid him back many times, and the total is also around ten thousand. He is indeed a usurer, but when he first approached me, he never said he wanted interest; he merely offered to lend me the money."
"At first, he seemed so kind, and I was desperate for the money to pay the hospital bills, I thought I had met a good Samaritan. But after I paid the hospital, that's when he demanded high interest. By then, I wanted to return his money, but I simply didn't have any to repay. Now, I have to pay interest every month, and sometimes, when I can't pay, ten thousand becomes twenty thousand."
Liu Wentian's gaze grew cold upon hearing this.
From what he knew, there were indeed loan sharks who lingered around hospitals, waiting for people like Zi Qing who lacked the funds for medical expenses. They'd lend them money only to collect exorbitant interest later.
Seeing Liu Wentian's icy demeanor, the young man scoffed, "Oh, what, you want to hit me?? Psh!! I'm telling you, no matter what, you'll have to pay back two thousand today, that's the interest for this month. After paying this, Zi Qing, you still owe me twenty thousand, and next month there'll be another two thousand in interest."
Seeing that Liu Wentian didn't respond, he grew angry and said, "I'm speaking to you, do you hear me?? Since you're Zi Qing's man, then you should pay this debt. But to tell you the truth, actually, it's also okay not to pay."
The young man's gaze turned lustful as he looked at Zi Qing, "As long as you spend a week with me, we can forget about the two thousand. What do you say?? Two thousand for a week, that's about three hundred a day, much better than being a waitress in a restaurant."
"Don't even think about it!" Zi Qing snapped angrily.
"What, playing the virtuous one with me, huh? Fine then, pay up the two thousand now. Kid, are you listening, give me the money now. Or do I need some bruisers to loosen your bones before you'll listen??"
Seeing that Liu Wentian remained unmoved, the young man felt a surge of displeasure and shouted at his two cronies behind him, "You two go slap this idiot awake, make him see reason. And while you're at it, search him to see if he has any money. No matter how much, take it all."
"Yes, Brother Yuan!!"
The two cronies responded, clearly quite experienced in such matters.
When collecting debts, they often encountered uncooperative debtors, and that was when they had to get physical. Usually, a beating was enough to make most people pay up, unless they were truly penniless. If someone refused to hand over the money willingly, they had no qualms about taking it by force; they were no strangers to such tactics.
The two approached Liu Wentian with malicious smiles; one of them reached out and viciously attempted to slap Liu Wentian's head.
"Get lost!!"
Liu Wentian bellowed and with a kick, sent the two men flying seven or eight meters away, spitting blood.
Brother Yuan, who was standing nearby with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face, turned ashen in an instant.
What the fuck, is this guy even human??
My two underlings are both big and tall, each nearly 200 pounds, yet they were both sent flying with a kick, spitting blood, unable to get up.
It seems I've kicked an iron plate this time, why am I so unlucky!!
Swallowing hard, Brother Yuan turned to run but was immediately sent sprawling to the ground with a kick from Liu Wentian.
"Big brother, it's all my fault, I was blind to see, I really didn't think you were so powerful... Please... Please have mercy and let me go," Brother Yuan, on the verge of tears, begged.
Liu Wentian sneered, "Weren't you acting all tough, teaching me a lesson, trying to steal my money, and wanting Zi Qing to accompany you??"
Brother Yuan shook his head like a rattle-drum, displaying a smile uglier than crying, and said, "I... I was just joking, I've known for a while how powerful you are, how could I dare offend you?"
If Ruguo had known how fierce this guy was earlier, he would have run right away. Why would he have bumped into this bad luck? Thinking this, he couldn't help feeling regret.
"Not dare?"
Liu Wentian slapped Brother Yuan on the head, causing him to grimace in pain, "I don't care whether you dare or not. Those who can't afford their medical bills in the hospital are from poor families, and you even scam these people, you're really fucking despicable!!"
After saying that, he slapped Brother Yuan on the back of his head again.
"Ah!! Stop hitting me, please... Big brother, I really don't dare anymore, I'll never do such a thing again," Brother Yuan cried, his tears and snot flowing out as Liu Wentian's slaps made him feel he might have even gotten a concussion.
"Alright then, since you realize your mistake, let's talk about compensation," said Liu Wentian indifferently.
Brother Yuan, dumbfounded, asked, "What compensation?"
Liu Wentian grinned, "My emotional distress fee, promoting goodness fee, fee for physical altercation... Take out all the money you guys have on you. If you don't compensate, I don't mind leaving you disabled."
Brother Yuan, fighting back tears, had heard of emotional distress fee, but promoting goodness fee, fee for physical altercation—what on earth were those? You hit me and I still have to pay you money??
Even though he wanted to cry from the injustice, Brother Yuan still took out all the money he had on him with his underlings and handed it over to Liu Wentian.
Liu Wentian took the money, roughly counting it to be around thirty-four thousand, and felt dissatisfied, "You lot really are a bunch of paupers. Is this all the money you carry with you when you go out?"
Brother Yuan's eyes reddened; he had only come to collect two thousand, but ended up losing thirty-four thousand instead, and was still being called a pauper. Dammit, that was too bitter to swallow. But what could he do if he couldn't beat the other guy? He had to endure it, and if he ever ran into him again, he'd have to run the other way.
"Alright, now scram," Liu Wentian waved his hand dismissively.
Brother Yuan and his two underlings ran off as if they had been granted amnesty.
Turning around, Liu Wentian saw Zi Qing looking at him with shining eyes and touched his nose with a laugh, "I know I'm impressive, but little miss, your gaze is a bit scary. It's like you've become one of my crazy fans."
Zi Qing couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Brother Wentian, I just realized you are actually quite entertaining."
Liu Wentian glared comically, feigning anger, "What, did I seem like a boring person to you before??"
Zi Qing's smile was still a bit shy, but it was clear she was becoming more at ease, "Not boring, it's just that I thought you were the type to play it cool. Hehe."
Liu Wentian laughed, "And now??"
