Chapter 34 Revenge
Anda Finance Company was such a notorious existence that
the locals in Jiangzhou and even some who had lived here for a while knew it was a usury company in the name of a legal finance company.
Numerous families had been ruined by this loan shark.
Despite that, even if everyone was fully aware the cruelty of Anda Finance Company when they collected money from people who borrowed from them,
one would never cease seeing cornered folks, gamblers and addicts rushing to them for help. Just like moths to the flames.
It was easily understandable. Because what Anda Finance Company required before lending money was one of the least demanding.
One didn't have to own a house or a car,
as long as they got their wives and children in town, whom they could take hostage later on, then it would do.
However, the interest was usually high.
For example, what Ye Chen should pay back now was 270,000 yuan. But he only borrowed 150,000 yuan at the beginning, which had come to 270,000 yuan including interests in the matter of just a month.
The doom day for this kind of gang was long overdue considering all its illegal harmful conducts. However, it was still there safe and sound thanks to its secretive connection with people in power. That was why after devastating numerous families, it was still there welcoming swarms of cornered people to fall into their trap.
"Brother Biao, here he came!"
The moment Ye Chen stepped in,
his arrival was immediately reported.
"Then what the hell are you doing? Hurry up and welcome our distinguished top student in!"
At the end of the company's office room of about forty or fifty square meters, Brother Biao's rough voice sounded.
Ye Chen couldn't help sneering at this.
Greeted by those little clowns, he headed to Brother Biao.
"Top student, come and try my best Biluochun, tea of the best quality. It's a reward from the boss. It's really something, I'm telling you. Haha!"
Unlike before, with only money in his eyes, Brother Biao laughed to Ye Chen like a smiling tiger, an outwardly kind but inwardly cruel person.
"That's great. But thanks, Brother Biao. Here in the bag is what I owed you, including all the interests. Now we're clear!"
Ye Chen put the black bag on the table and claimed.
"Hey, what's with the rush? I've been looking forward to chatting with you!"
Brother Biao stood up, walked to Ye Chen, and put his hand on his shoulder.
Then he continued. "You smart boy. People like you who have been to a college really get me jealous. You know why? Because you've got plenty of ways to get rich. So, tell me about it. Have you just found a good way to make a fortune? How about sharing it with me?"
The reason why he asked this was that Brother Biao knew very well that Ye Chen, who would comfortably go to Jinlin Mansion to check the house he wanted to buy, must have with him stacks of money, and not from the gambling table.
Because he has been utterly familiar with the sort of gamblers like Ye Chen and clear that there was no chance of a "big break" for him in the gambling world.
Therefore, Ye Chen's money couldn't be from by gambling. As for borrowing from someone, it was even more of a fantasy.
For a gambler like him, no one would lend him anything except the loan sharks like them.
Besides, if he could borrow money from others, why would he turn to companies like them?
"I won the lottery!" Ye Chen faked a smile.
"Shit, are you kidding me. Of all millions of people, you were that lucky to win it?" Brother Biao asked, suspecting his explanation.
"Brother Biao, I didn't know that your clients had to report their source of money." Ye Chen mocked.
"Darn it. Are you sure you won't tell?" Brother Biao's face darkened.
"There's nothing to say!"
Ye Chen shook his head.
Gone is the previously cowardly attitude when meeting Brother Biao as if he were facing the most terrifying enemy.
"Okay, that's alright. But let's calculate the interests carefully. Um, 270,000 yuan is what you should've given us a few days ago, and that sweet day is gone. It sure can't be the same as before, right? I believe you are familiar with the rules!"
Brother Biao looked at Ye Chen with a smile, stretching out three fingers. He continued: "I'll make this easy for you. It's 300,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan including all the interests. Deal?"
"I understand the rules, and I know 270,000 yuan can't be enough for you. I am prepared for that. Here is exactly 300,000 yuan. Go ahead and count it!"
To his surprise, Ye Chen has fully readied himself for this.
That was something beyond Brother Biao's expectations.
Promptly, he signaled his subordinates.
Then they immediately opened the bag and started counting it.
"Brother Biao, there is indeed 300,000 yuan! He's not lying."
Hearing that,
Brother Biao checked Ye Chen out again. "Okay, you top student. It seems that you did find a way to make a fortune! Well, how about Brother Biao introducing you somewhere exciting? It is much more advanced than the ones you used to haunt. And let me tell you something. There are special services, too. You can be satisfied whenever you have sexual needs. Chicks in there are just as charming as those stars. I'm not bragging!"
About to leave,
Ye Chen halted, hearing this.
He had been reminded of the past by Brother Biao's inviting words.
In his previous life, to retaliate against this gang, he spent a hell lot of time scheming to be one of them.
However, time and time again, they got away, protected by their accomplice in power.
Even the inspection team, which stationed in Jiangzhou three times, had to return in vain.
Eventually, after a long time of secret deployment, the inspection team that came out nowhere for the fourth time at the perfect timing and place eradicated the hidden den of this criminal group with vast number of gambling capital, which was not only involved in gambling, but also suspected of drugs and prostitution. Then people in authority who had been protecting the gang were soon arrested, too.
When the news came out, countless people in Jiangzhou applauded. But behind the cheerful applause, all the people were horrified by the madness of the gang.
The fact was that many of the women who were providing special services were still students and women tricked into that hole by all kinds of obscene means. Once those bastards had the women captivated, they kept imposing all sorts of threats to force them into obedience. Sometimes, by means of drugs. As you can imagine, for the miserable women, there was no way out.
Compared with what they did as the loan sharks, the way they ruined these innocent women made every soul incensed.
After returning here from rebirth, Ye Chen originally thought that this den had not started to form.
After all, this time in the previous life was still a few years away from these bastards being arrested.
But now judging from the way Brother Biao was cosying up to him,
he knew that the hellish hole had already appeared.
"An advanced venue like that?" Ye Chen pretended to be intrigued.
"Damn, do you think I was lying to you? If you are interested, Brother Biao can introduce you in. Not everyone is entitled to get in there, not without the code word!" Brother Biao said.
"Then tell me where it is!"
The kind of eagerness and greed typical of gamblers were convincingly faked by Ye Chen.
"The Maple Leaf Hotel. Once you get there, someone will ask you if you had an appointment, and you say that Brother Biao introduced you. Then you will be taken to the 19th floor. The last step is that when you get asked about the weather outside, you should answer the four magic words: Yun Dan Feng Qing, which means the sky is almost cloudless and the wind is mild." Brother Biao informed him of all the key points to get in.
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, bro!" Ye Chen said.
"You're welcome, Brother Biao is here to wish you a happy visit, haha!"
"Thanks again, Brother Biao."
After Ye Chen left.
Brother Biao took out his mobile phone and made a call.
The subordinates around him couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Biao, how much money can that son have? He was still a poor wretch not long ago. Why did you introduce him to the Maple Leaf Hotel?"
"You don't understand. He was willing to pay back 300,000 yuan with interests and bought a house in Jinling Mansion. Although I don't know how he became rich overnight, it's not what matters. What's important is that he has a lot of money, and we can rip him off at least millions." Brother Biao sneered.
"Brother Biao, as the boss instructed, we should be careful about the Maple Leaf Hotel and keep as few people in it as possible to avoid troubles. Is it inappropriate to..."
Before he could finish his worries, Brother Biao slapped him on the forehead.
"What trouble can a cowardly wuss like him cause us? Damn, if we really get trapped because of him, I would be rather willing to get chopped up and fed to dogs by our boss. Besides, aren't you clear what our boss is capable of? There is nothing those little chaps could do to hurt us."
Thinking of the last time when a significant leader of the city bureau was talking with his boss, all reverent, Brother Biao smiled contemptuously.
As if he was the one that leader was sucking up to.
The guy with worries before agreed instantly.
Anyway, he didn't dare to provoke him again.
He swallowed the feelings about what he saw just the other day that Brother Biao was indeed trapped by Ye Chen in his rented house.
