The old man Luo, pay back the money!
At this moment, five people stood outside the door. The leader was a fierce looking man with a knife scar on his neck that stretched all the way into his clothes. He had a shaved head and his eyes were full of ruthless colour.
Next to him stood an extremely wealthy looking man with a big belly. He wore gold rimmed glasses and a sharp light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Everyone, or rather everyone except Luo Dafu, his son, and Luo Chen, changed their expressions the moment they saw the bald man.
That bald man was none other than Yang Er Gou, the famous local thug and rascal from Yongji County in the past.
Three years ago he had stabbed a man to death on the street and injured another, and he was still a wanted criminal. How could he appear here now?
This was a murderer!
The fat man with glasses next to him was Yuan Fatty, the one who had lent high interest loans to Luo’s father.
Yuan Fatty pushed up his glasses with a cold smile and then spoke.
“Old man Luo, you have to pay back this money today.”
“Did we not agree on three months?” Luo’s father asked.
When they borrowed the money at the beginning, they had clearly agreed on a three month limit. How much time had passed now?
“Do not talk to me about three months. I am worried you simply have no money to repay.” Yuan Fatty kept on with his cold smile.
“We are having a family gathering today. With so many people here, is it not inappropriate for you to act like this?” Luo Chen’s father was also a bit angry.
After all, with so many people present, this made it rather difficult for Luo’s father to keep face.
But Yuan Fatty still gave a cold laugh and then spoke very rudely.
“If you think it is inappropriate, then pay back the money!”
Yuan Fatty was actually someone brought in by Luo Dafu and the others, otherwise he would not have acted against the agreed terms.
Moreover, he had brought Yang Er Gou with him, clearly intending to threaten Luo’s father.
Most importantly, this was itself a trap, deliberately timed for when Luo’s father could not produce the money.
Luo Dafu and Luo Mingshu had just asked a few questions and managed to figure out most of Luo’s father’s situation. They were certain he could not come up with the money.
Although the matter with the mobile phone had just made the father and son lose face in front of everyone, the two of them were now very pleased inside.
First of all, they did not believe at all that Luo Chen could have done that well after going to Tongzhou for such a short time. If he could sort something out in such a brief period, he would truly be a god descended to earth.
So Luo Chen’s one million must have been spent on a life of luxury and pleasure. Even if not, there could not be much left.
After all, the mobile phone bought for Luo’s father had already cost more than two hundred thousand.
Therefore the father and son felt very confident today that they could force Luo’s father to submit.
At this moment the father and son appeared calm on the surface at this awkward situation, but inside they were overjoyed.
“Either pay back the money, or mortgage the factory to me.” Yuan Fatty spoke again.
“You are also someone everyone in Yongji County knows. You would not default on a debt, would you?”
These words left Luo’s father stuck. Indeed, no matter what, he owed the money, so he was already in the wrong on this matter.
“Enough, Yuan Fatty, stop making noise. How about this, I will help my third brother repay this money.” Luo Dafu stood up at this moment and spoke, because it was now time for him to perform.
Moreover Luo Dafu acted very well. He spoke with such righteousness that ordinary people would really think he had deep brotherly feelings for Luo’s father.
But in reality it was only to set a trap for him.
Sure enough, upon hearing Luo Dafu say this, Luo’s father immediately spoke.
“Big brother, I will think of a way myself.”
“Alas, we are all one family. Why say such distant words?”
“Besides, in the past when my family was poor and could not buy rice, it was always you who bought it and sent it to my house. If you say such things now, you are not treating me as a brother.” Luo Dafu’s words sounded deeply touching.
At first hearing, one would think Luo Dafu was truly speaking from the heart and wanted to help Luo’s father repay the money.
But then Luo Dafu suddenly changed his tone.
“However, third brother, you also know that I myself have no money. This money is what Mingshu plans to use for getting married and buying a new house.”
“That will not do, big brother, that will not do.” Luo’s father quickly waved his hands.
“You listen to me first. We will help you repay it first. If you really feel too bad about it, then give half the shares of your factory to Mingshu this boy.” Luo Dafu finally stated his real purpose.
“That way, the money is repaid, and Mingshu this boy is also doing business. It is good for everyone.” Luo Dafu persuaded.
But Luo’s father began to hesitate. It was not that he could not bear to part with half the shares, but rather that this money was for someone else’s child to handle his marriage.
Luo’s father still thought that Luo Dafu really wanted to repay the money for him.
“Old man Luo, you would not want to carry the bad name of owing debt and not repaying it, right?” Yuan Fatty reminded again at this time.
After all, the county town was not big and almost everyone knew each other.
If this spread, he would be laughed at.
“Alas, then fine.” Luo’s father sighed.
And when Luo Mingshu and his father saw that their scheme had succeeded, a cold smile could not help but cross their lips.
But right at this moment a voice stopped Luo’s father.
“No need, we will repay this money ourselves!” Luo Chen spoke with a smile.
“Little Chen, this is not the time for acting on impulse.”
“Moreover, little Chen, can you really take out that much money?” Luo Dafu advised from the side at this moment.
While Luo Mingshu sneered from the side.
“Enough, dad. Why not let cousin repay the money himself, so it does not seem like we are begging them to repay it for him.”
The reason Luo Mingshu dared to say this was that he was certain Luo Chen and Luo’s father could not repay the money.
“I said, we will repay it ourselves.”
“Fine, father. We will not get involved in this matter.” Luo Mingshu mocked at this time.
He wanted to see how Luo Chen would repay this money today!
“Fine, then bring the money now?” Yuan Fatty smiled.
“We want the money now, and it must be cash!” Yuan Fatty also said with a cold smile.
This was rather making things difficult. Who would keep five hundred thousand in cash at home?
Moreover, in the middle of the night, where could they go to withdraw money?
And at this moment Luo Dafu and Luo Mingshu had expressions of gloating and watching the show.
“Fine.” Luo Chen said, turned around and went into the room, then came out carrying a box. He opened the box and threw it on the ground.
There were fully more than a hundred stacks of cash, each stack ten thousand.
More than one million in cash was something Luo Chen had prepared long ago.
As soon as this money was thrown out, the scene immediately went silent.
Looking at the red banknotes on the ground, the expressions on Luo Dafu and Luo Mingshu’s faces suddenly froze.
Their scheme had been based on the certainty that Luo Chen or rather Luo’s father could not produce this sum of money for it to succeed. Now that Luo Chen had actually brought out the money, would their scheme not fall through?
