Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Debt Collection Comes with Risks (Please Subscribe)_1

Hao and his group came storming over, originally intending to strut around and intimidate with a display of power.

Instead, they ended up getting beaten like dogs and were thrown out.

If it weren’t for Lei Ying’s protection, Hao would have probably had difficulty even walking out on his own. Even with Lei Ying’s protection, he still took a couple of punches to the face, resulting in a bloodied nose and a blackened eye socket.

Lei Ying took the most hits while covering for Hao and didn’t utter a sound as he quickly led him away.

The remaining three were crying for their parents, wishing they had grown an extra pair of legs. This group stumbled out in a mess, not daring to stay in Dingxiang Building and instead rushed back to Ju Feng Garden.

Bai Xiaosheng watched calmly as if the whole violent incident were nothing more than a grand performance.

”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng really is composed and unruffled,” Kevin praised, then asked with a hint of curiosity, ”Those men, they seemed to be coming for you. Do you have any trouble that I can help with?”

Even though Kevin was in Zhongjing, away from his own turf, he still had countless ways to deal with the problem.

As long as Bai Xiaosheng asked, he would definitely be able to do it.

”There’s no need to trouble Mr. Kevin, it’s just a small, insignificant issue,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

If he had to ask Kevin for a favor over such a small matter, wouldn’t that be a loss for him?

”You, a foreigner, should not get involved in our matters here. Sheng, if there’s a problem, feel free to let me know,” Chen Jiuzheng chimed in, not wanting to be outdone. As Chen Banbi, dealing with such a trivial matter would be a piece of cake for him.

”Thank you, Mr. Chen, but there’s no need to let such a small matter affect our enjoyment of the drinks,” Bai Xiaosheng said, raising his glass with a smile.

”Haha, true that!” Chen Jiuzheng laughed and nodded.

Both big shots raised their glasses to Bai Xiaosheng once again.

Chen Changqing watched from the side with a mix of envy, jealousy, and dissatisfaction. The important figure he had treated with great respect was now sitting on an equal footing with Bai Xiaosheng...

Bai Fei and Bai Ran were genuinely impressed.

Only now did they understand why Bai Xiaosheng was unconcerned about Hao and his group from the start.

Look, with just a word from Bai Xiaosheng, not one but several important figures were eager to help him solve this dilemma.

Perhaps in the eyes of these significant figures, this was not even a problem...

It seemed that our cousin really was extraordinary!

Bai Fei and Bai Ran looked at him with newfound respect and awe.

Yang Qian’er, who had been silent all this time, watched Bai Xiaosheng with bright, sparkling eyes that were full of admiration.

...

Subsequently, Bai Xiaosheng, Chen Jiuzheng, and Kevin enjoyed fine wines and exquisite foods, discussing industry trends, politics and economics, as well as sports like golf, tennis, and horse riding.

The more Bai Xiaosheng talked, the more amazed the others became; he knew far too much.

Even Chen Changqing and Kevin were somewhat surprised, hearing of many things they had never known of before.

Bai Xiaosheng gave Kevin pointers on golf techniques and taught Chen Jiuzheng horse riding and fishing...

Seeing the two big shots humbly seeking advice, everyone was speechless...

Actually, with Red Lotus with him, Bai Xiaosheng was like a walking encyclopedia, with endless knowledge at his disposal. Coupled with his confident eloquence, his ability to explain things was bound to surprise.

What a talent, a great talent indeed!

The gazes of Chen Jiuzheng and Kevin couldn’t help but shine when they looked at Bai Xiaosheng...

”How can he know so much? Could it be that he’s also from some major family!” Chen Changqing questioned in amazement, unable to contain his doubts.

It wasn’t just him; Chen Jiuzheng and Kevin were thinking along the same lines. Their eagerness to recruit Bai Xiaosheng intensified.

...

On the other side, Ju Feng Garden.

Thanks to Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and Yang Qian’er’s commotion, Boss Shen lost out but didn’t lose too much.

After all, the wine had not been uncorked, and the dishes had not been touched; they were simply returned.

The piece de resistance that Boss Shen himself had prepared actually didn’t cost that much in terms of ingredients...

What annoyed Boss Shen was being played; the deal hadn’t gone through, but seeing Hao with eyes so red with rage, he feared some item might have gone missing. After weighing the two situations, he felt somewhat better.

Boss Shen had even asked Hao what he had lost, to which Hao had irritably replied, ”I lost face!”

Being played like that meant losing face, didn’t it?

Out of sympathy for a fellow sufferer, Boss Shen didn’t demand compensation from Hao’s group, but he insisted that they still had to order food; otherwise, what was the point of occupying the private room?

Reluctantly, Hao ordered some dishes and had Cheng Xiaosi watch over Bai Shuanglei, who wasn’t allowed to eat.

That served as a punishment; if it hadn’t been for Cheng Xiaosi’s incompetence, they wouldn’t have lost the person.

”You better watch out, if I find out even a single dish is missing a mouthful, you’re not getting any spending money this month!” Hao warned Cheng Xiaosi before leaving.

What a cruel brother-in-law he was!

As Cheng Xiaosi was watching over Bai Shuanglei, the more he heard the snoring, the more annoyed he got; the more he looked at the fat man, the angrier he became. He went straight to the bathroom in the private room, filled a basin with water, and drenched him with it.

”Ah, what happened!” Bai Shuanglei sat up suddenly, looking at Cheng Xiaosi in panic. It took him batting his mung bean eyes for a while to recognize him. His face still wore a drunken, confused smile, ”Shuanglei, Brother Shi... what are you doing... eh, are we eating yet?”

Even in his drunken stupor, the fat man was still thinking about eating, which infuriated Cheng Xiaosi so much that he started slapping him around.

”It’s all because of you, you bastard, that we’re in this mess! What were you betting for, why did you borrow money? Isn’t it good enough to just carry bricks honestly!” Cheng Xiaosi said as he slapped and scolded him.

Bai Shuanglei was so beaten he became confused.

In these times, it was those who lent money who were preaching righteousness...

As Cheng Xiaosi was beating Bai Shuanglei, the door to the private room was flung open, and several people burst in. Cheng Xiaosi turned his head and was startled.

His brother-in-law Hao sported dark circles under his eyes and had blood on his nose and mouth. He was propped up by Lei Ying. The buddies behind him were in even worse shape, grimacing with their teeth bared, faces bruised and swollen. As they entered, they fell to the floor in disarray, gasping for air.

”Brother-in-law!” Cheng Xiaosi jumped, rushing over quickly.

Lei Ying dumped Hao into his arms and collapsed onto the sofa, gasping for air.

The brawl had been infuriating. Lei Ying was injured and could only exert half his strength. The space was cramped, they were outnumbered, and he had to protect Hao, which hadn’t spared him from getting hit quite a bit.

The opposing bodyguards were formidable players, skilled in Sanda, boxing, and Muay Thai, striking both ruthlessly and underhandedly, likely the sort to split several red bricks with a single palm strike.

Cheng Xiaosi, in a panic, fumbled with a cigarette, lighting one for Hao. Collapsed on the sofa, Hao trembled as he took a drag, and while it was difficult, he said with some fervor, ”In these times, even debt collectors get beaten up, what a world!”

What happened?

Cheng Xiaosi was curious, but he didn’t dare ask. He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would get dragged into it.

”What do we do now?” Cheng Xiaosi whispered.

”We wait!” Hao sat up, touched his face, winced with a grimace, but his face showed a trace of vicious determination, ”I refuse to believe they won’t be alone! I must have that money!”

”And if you can’t get it?” Cheng Xiaosi carelessly mumbled.

”Then we release the guy.” Hao nodded towards Bai Shuanglei.

”Ah?” Cheng Xiaosi was taken aback.

Release the guy, just like that?

”Have him go and raise the funds. If a single penny is missing, I’ll kill him!” Hao said angrily, ”From now on, we’ll keep a close eye on those who borrow money; I can’t personally go after them anymore. The business risk is too high!”
