Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Ye Chen was tall and strong, standing there at a full 1 meters, and his shadow alone completely enveloped the thug in front of him.

The thug shuddered, but then, remembering his powerful backer, he finally perked up.

"Kid, do you know who you're talking to? Do you believe I can go back and tell my brother, and one word from him will make you disappear from this world?"

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"

Ye Chen deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "The owners of these shops all signed contracts with me. They took my money and are now breaking their agreements by renting the shops to you. I'm already being lenient by not stopping them!"

"My only demand right now is that they return the money I owe them. Then we'll be even. As for how we cooperate, that's your problem!"

"If you won't even cooperate with this much, then there's nothing more to say. We'll just call the police!"

For thugs, the police are the most terrifying group of people. Faced with Ye Chen's threat, the thug trembled.

Ye Chen's roar had already alerted many people, and several figures gathered outside the shop.

In public, the thugs couldn't afford to cause trouble and could only cower and promise to comply.

"Brother, how about this? You come with me to see my older brother, and he'll give you the money in person!"

"Enough talk, I'll wait here. If you bring the money, I'll leave immediately!"

Ye Chen wasn't stupid. If he followed the other party to a secluded place, wouldn't he be at the other party's mercy?

Moreover, what Ye Chen wanted was not a conflict, but to truly take control of these stores!

After saying this, Ye Chen disregarded the presence of the thugs and walked out of the shop in a few steps.

Then, pretending to be a scoundrel, he pointed at other shops and started cursing!

"You heartless bastards! Your shop was being harassed every day, and I kindly helped you through your difficulties, and in the end you betrayed me!"

"Fine, if you don't appreciate my kindness, then give me back the rent I paid you before!"

"Didn't you get in touch with a big boss? Which big boss is rich? Tell him to settle my debts first!"

Ye Chen's grand gesture was solely aimed at forcing the mastermind behind the scenes to reveal themselves!

In Ye Chen's opinion, Wang Jian'an certainly didn't have that much money on him at the moment!

Under their pressure, Wang Jian'an will surely reveal his true colors. Once he learns that he is now penniless, the tenants of these shops will naturally regret their decision!

He could then reap the benefits and fulfill the previous contract.

Wang Jian'an could only suffer losses for no reason, but he couldn't find any opportunity to retaliate against himself!

Faced with Ye Chen's accusations, the surrounding shop owners could not pretend not to hear, so they had no choice but to show themselves, gather together, and discuss the matter with Ye Chen.

Finally, everyone reached an agreement: the thug would bring the boss over today!

Afterwards, everyone confronted each other face to face and explained everything clearly!

When the time comes, the boss will take the money and pay Ye Chen's share first, and then discuss the handover date with the tenants!

Both sides reached an agreement, and seeing this, the thug had no choice but to bite the bullet and acquiesce.

Finally, he came and went in a hurry, rushing off to inform Wang Jian'an.

……

Inside a private box in a nightclub.

Wang Jian'an held a glass of wine, his face gloomy.

Beside him, a glamorous woman reported, "Brother Wang, he only has 50,000 yuan left!"

"Even with recent cash inflows, and several outstanding payments, we simply can't come up with any more money!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian'an slammed his fist on the table: "How could it be such a small amount of money?"

"Boss, while you were away, Boss Zheng signed up for several free meals. The total amount of money involved is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan!" the woman explained.

The bills that Boss Zheng signed were for the expenses of entertaining Liu Zhen and his gang!

Upon hearing that Boss Zheng had gotten himself into such a mess, Wang Jian'an's face turned ashen. Just as he was about to order Boss Zheng to be summoned,

Outside the door, the thug who had been chased away by the shopkeepers returned in a hurry and explained what had just happened.

"Boss, that guy Ye Chen has shown up, insisting that you pay back the money before he'll transfer the shop!"

"Damn it! It's that bastard again!" Wang Jian'an gritted his teeth.

The next second, he stood up with a whoosh!

"We've dealt with each other so many times, but we've never met. It's about time I went to meet him!"

As he spoke, Wang Jian'an personally went to the door of the private room, but then suddenly stopped and turned back to give instructions to the woman.

"Go and pack all the cash into the box and give it to me as quickly as possible!"

……

After half an hour.

A group of shop owners gathered together, and in the center, Ye Chen sat on a recliner with his legs crossed.

After waiting for a long time, everyone hesitated as Wang Jian'an failed to appear.

"Wasn't that Boss Wang supposed to have connections everywhere? Why haven't we seen him for so long?"

"Could it be that Boss Wang doesn't want to pay this money and is planning to terminate the cooperation?"

"What are you talking about? Boss Wang has plenty of money. It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan in rent. It's nothing to him!"

As the crowd was discussing this, the thugs who had left earlier returned.

Behind him followed a middle-aged man with a large belly!

Ye Chen, who was originally sitting on the recliner, stood up with a gloomy expression when he saw who it was. At this moment, he recognized the person.

This man was none other than Wang Jian'an, the unlucky guy who had bullied Qian Jiali and had a bottle smashed in his hand!

"Boss Wang, long time no see! I didn't expect your head injury to heal so quickly!"

Ye Chen smiled and stepped forward, extending a hand as if to greet him, but actually to take Wang Jian'an's scar.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian'an was immediately furious, but outwardly remained unmoved.

"Brother Ye Chen, I've long admired your reputation. You're truly blessed with good fortune; you've survived so many hardships!"

Wang Jianan was clearly demonstrating, his seemingly calm tone concealing a threat.

You've overcome all those obstacles before, but what if I cause you trouble again later?

Ye Chen didn't care at all. In his opinion, one of them, Wang Jian'an or Ye Chen, was bound to die, and that person could only be Wang Jian'an!

Ye Chen met Wang Jian'an's gaze directly, showing no fear, and said, "Boss Wang, to make a long story short, all these shops have signed contracts with me. I don't blame you for interfering halfway through!"

"However, everything has to be done according to the rules. They already took three months' rent from me, 3000 yuan per shop!"

"There are 25 shops in total, totaling 75000. Mr. Wang, I won't ask you for interest on this money. As long as you settle the payment in one lump sum, how you cooperate afterwards is up to you!"
