Chapter 8 Taking Over the Account
Chen Jun's crying stopped abruptly, and he stood there stunned.
"That's not it?"
His face was streaked with tears, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were covered in dust from his earlier tantrum, making him look extremely disheveled.
Chen Jun was stunned for a long time. His expression changed from bewilderment to astonishment, then from astonishment to embarrassment and anger, and finally his whole face turned red.
"Not this one?" He jumped up, his voice shrill and hoarse. "Then why didn't you say so earlier!"
"I...I just now..." Chen Jun's lips trembled as he recalled his ugly behavior of throwing a tantrum, rolling on the ground, and crying his eyes out.
I remember admitting to online gambling and debts in front of everyone, crying like a complete loser, only to find out that the person hadn't even come to collect the money!
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his eyes turned red.
Normally, if he encountered a big man like this who looked like someone not to be trifled with, he wouldn't dare to say a word to him.
But at this moment, he was blinded by anger and couldn't care less about such things, so his words became more aggressive.
"Are you out of your mind? You come up here asking who Chen Jun is, I thought you were here to ask for that 100,000! You—"
"You didn't ask," the big man interrupted sincerely, but his words were particularly hurtful. "Besides, I didn't know you owed so much money."
Looking at the big man's sincere expression, Chen Jun would have loved to fight him to the death on the spot if he didn't know he couldn't beat him.
"You won't tell me unless I ask? You just want to watch me make a fool of myself?" Chen Jun's face was contorted with rage. "Besides, besides this 100,000 yuan, where else do I have any other debts?"
"You forgot, you used to have an online romance with a girl and cheated her out of 3,153 yuan. I came here specifically to get that money back."
"Three thousand yuan, young lady?" Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't recall ever hearing of such a thing.
"Looks like you really have forgotten?" the burly man sneered. "I'll give you a hint, Zhang Yue, remember now?"
"Zhang Yue?" Chen Jun finally had a vague impression. The innocent face of a little girl appeared in his mind. He also remembered that he seemed to have really made an excuse to ask her for more than three thousand yuan and then ran away.
He suddenly realized something, and his expression changed slightly: "Then who is this Sixth Master you mentioned before?"
"It's her grandfather."
Chen Jun asked cautiously, "Her grandfather... is he very powerful? And what is your relationship with him?"
Chen Jun's tone was filled with surprise and apprehension, and he felt a pang of regret.
If that girl's grandfather is really that powerful, why would he be so eager to fawn over Jiang Yueyao?
He was pondering how to mend this relationship when the burly man shook his head and said, "He's my employer, but he's not particularly powerful; he's just an ordinary old man."
"An ordinary elderly person?" Chen Jun looked incredulous. "An ordinary elderly person is worth you coming all the way here for three thousand yuan? What are you after?"
"Let me correct you, it's not three thousand, it's three thousand one hundred and fifty-three yuan," the big man stepped forward, looking down at him. "You may think this isn't much money, but for that little girl, it's a lot."
"A scumbag like you, who can even swindle money from young girls, is not worth my trip."
"To be fair," Li Da whispered in agreement, "it was indeed born."
Liang Xiaolong and Liu Cheng nodded subconsciously, while the others, including Xu Yuan, did not speak, but their gazes toward Chen Jun became increasingly disdainful.
Chen Jun interrupted with a dark expression: "Stop talking!"
I thought the other person's grandfather was some big shot, and I was even thinking of shamelessly trying to smooth things over, but I ended up losing face in front of my roommate again and didn't get anything in return.
He pulled out his phone from his pocket, tapped a few buttons rapidly, and said through gritted teeth, "It's just three thousand yuan, I'll pay you back! It's no big deal!"
Thinking about what had happened today, he felt incredibly aggrieved, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became: "You're a debt collector, and you don't even know what kind of debts you're collecting. What are you doing here—"
"Alright, alright," the burly man interrupted him, his tone tinged with impatience, "pay it back first."
"I'll transfer it right now!" Chen Jun showed his phone screen. "Take out your phone, I'll transfer it to you, and this mess ends here!"
The big man didn't take out his phone immediately, but instead said something to one of his henchmen.
Although the voice was soft, Xu Yuan heard it clearly. He glanced at the big man with a strange expression, then looked at Chen Jun with a hint of pity in his eyes.
After the younger brother nodded and left the private room with his phone, the big man took out his own phone and showed the payment code.
After Chen Jun completed the transfer and confirmed that everything was correct, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, I've transferred the money to you. Get out of here, you're not welcome!"
The burly man held his phone, looking at him with a half-smile: "You think you're so arrogant?"
"So what if I'm arrogant? Is arrogance illegal?" Chen Jun sneered repeatedly. "I don't owe you any money anymore. Try touching me and see what happens."
Xu Yuan shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "Chen Jun, I think people should be more tolerant of others, otherwise they will easily suffer losses."
The burly man glanced at Xu Yuan, said nothing, and simply smiled.
Liu Cheng, watching from the corner, brightened up and clapped his hands in praise, "Brother Yuan's words have the air of a great general!"
Liang Xiaolong and Li Da nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Jiang Yueyao was wondering why Xu Yuan suddenly brought this up when she saw Liu Cheng looking like he had everything under control.
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what he meant by that?"
Liu Cheng smiled and nodded: "I don't know."
"?"
A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Yueyao's head: "Why are you nodding? And what did you mean by 'the demeanor of a great general' just now?"
"You don't understand," Liu Cheng explained earnestly, "Someone as romantic as Brother Yuan always has a deeper meaning behind his words."
"A romantic? What is that all about?" Jiang Yueyao frowned slightly, completely unable to follow the other person's train of thought.
She looked at Liang Xiaolong and Li Da with disbelief: "Do you know what Xu Yuan meant by what he just said?"
The two men honestly shook their heads: "We don't know."
Jiang Yueyao was bewildered: "Then why were you nodding along just now?"
Li Da replied matter-of-factly, "We're all brothers, of course we should support our brother."
Jiang Yueyao: "..."
On the other side, despite Chen Jun's arrogant attitude, the big man remained calm and composed, showing no anger whatsoever.
"Good, very good," the big man laughed and pointed at Chen Jun, "I like your unruly attitude. Remember to keep it up later."
A sudden sense of foreboding washed over Chen Jun: "What do you mean?"
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and the henchman returned, holding a cell phone, and quickly stepped forward, whispering a few words into the big man's ear.
The burly man took the phone, glanced at it casually, and looked at Chen Jun with a half-smile. He slowly said, "You owe money from Hongli Entertainment, right?"
Chen Jun's sense of unease grew stronger: "How...how did you know?"
"Of course it's because..." The burly man stepped forward, patted Chen Jun's shoulder with his heavy hand, and handed him a phone with his other hand. "The money you owe them, I'll collect it now too."
Chen Jun looked at the familiar little dice symbol on the screen and his face turned pale instantly—it was indeed the logo of Hongli Entertainment.
Hongli Entertainment, one of the largest underground banks in Yanjiang, is ostensibly a chain of arcades, but behind the scenes it engages in lending, gambling, and debt collection with ruthless methods.
Those who owe them money will either be ruined or simply disappear without a trace. Locals in Yanjiang turn pale at the mere mention of the name "Hongli".
And this bald man in front of me was able to take over this debt from Hongli so casually—
This shows that his background and influence are far deeper than Chen Jun thought.
"I'll take over your bill."
The burly man put his phone back in his pocket, his smile unchanged, but his eyes turned cold: "Chen Jun, right? When are you going to pay us back what you owe us, hmm?"
Chen Jun froze, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He awkwardly laughed and said, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
"I told you, I still prefer your rebellious side."
The burly man put his arm around Chen Jun's shoulder, a half-smile on his face, and said, "So, are you going to throw a tantrum first, or go straight to the proper procedures? You choose."
