Chapter 97: Thunderbolt
Today Zhang Jiaqiang received a call from Li Hu.
He followed Ye Xiucheng for several days and found that he had been losing gambling continuously and that today he was in danger. In desperation, he had to ask Zhang Jiaqiang for help.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiaqiang contacted the laid-off young men and rented a few taxis to arrive quickly. Otherwise, both Li Hu and Ye Xiucheng would suffer a big loss.
At this moment, Ye Xiucheng never dreamed that the person who came to the rescue today would be the useless brother-in-law whom he looked down upon.
Seeing Zhang Jiaqiang's imposing manner at this moment, Ye Xiucheng wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Brother Bao was overwhelmed by Zhang Jiaqiang's momentum and seemed a bit groveling, "Just say whatever you want!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said in a strong tone, "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. You also gamble on sports and loan sharks. You have made ill-gotten gains. You are soft-handed and greedy. I will give you a word of advice. If you do any unjust things, you will be punished."
shoot!"
Brother Bao was timid at heart, but pretended to be very arrogant on the surface.
"I want to take advantage of my wealth and care about your shit. Are you greedy?"
"You little bastard dares to talk to Brother Qiang like that, I'm so impatient!" Zhao Xiaoyong picked up the seamless steel pipe in his hand and was about to open it for Brother Bao.
This situation continued and turned into a group fight. Zhang Jiaqiang decided to take the right path in this life and not use these tactics of fighting and killing.
He immediately stopped Zhao Xiaoyong and asked him to restrain his brothers and not to be impulsive.
Brother Bao thought that Zhang Jiaqiang didn't dare to take action, so he suddenly became more courageous and looked at him with provocation in his eyes.
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "You go on your Yangguan Road, and I'll go on my single-plank bridge. No one can hinder the other, but now you have offended my family. If you don't give me an explanation, this matter will never end!"
Brother Bao said with a playful smile, "My family, oh, the good-for-nothing you are talking about, Ye Xiucheng, he owes me money. It is only natural to kill people to pay debts and pay back money. Why are you planning to pay back the money for him?"
At this moment, Ye Xiucheng squatted on the ground and buried his head between his legs, like an ostrich, not even daring to show his face.
Zhang Jiaqiang sneered, "He owes you money, regardless of whether it's true or not. As long as you have evidence, you can go through legal procedures. You are so vicious in collecting debts and are disrupting public order. You will be detained for at least seven days!"
Brother Bao was choked and almost couldn't take a breath. After so many years of wandering, this was the first time he heard that a loan shark dared to file a lawsuit. Isn't this a rabbit who is willing to die?
This guy wants to continue to play rough, but he's afraid of pushing the other party too hard. If he really wants to make a move, he won't be able to see enough of the others.
After thinking about it, a good man doesn't suffer any immediate losses. Anyway, if Ye Xiucheng lives here and runs away, the monk can't run away from the temple. He will temporarily retreat today and come back to him to settle the accounts another day. These people can't squat in front of his house every day!
Having made up his mind, Brother Bao still said boldly.
"Okay, now I'm in trouble, let's put this matter behind us!"
After saying that, he waved his hands to his men and left with these people.
However, Zhang Jiaqiang still stood in front of him and looked at him coldly.
Brother Bao felt guilty for a while when Zhang Jiaqiang looked at him, "What else do you want to do?"
Zhang Jiaqiang turned to Ye Xiucheng and said.
"Do you have an IOU in his hand?"
Ye Xiucheng nodded in shame and said, "There are three IOUs worth 10,000 yuan!"
Good guy, the World Cup only started a few days ago, and this guy actually lost more than 30,000 yuan. He was almost catching up with his own money-making speed. Zhang Jiaqiang was so angry that he almost kicked his brother-in-law.
Ye Xiucheng was embarrassed by Zhang Jiaqiang and hurriedly explained.
“Actually, I didn’t lose that much, the rest was just interest!”
Who makes him his brother-in-law? Zhang Jiaqiang asked while holding back his anger.
"Please tell me carefully, how much is the principal and how much is the interest!"
Ye Xiucheng felt that he could not hold his head up in front of Zhang Jiaqiang in this life, so he said in a low voice.
"I made three payments, with a total principal of less than 3,000 yuan, and the rest was interest!"
The principal of 3,000 yuan has to be paid back more than 30,000 yuan in less than ten days. This is not a loan shark, it is simply a robbery!
Zhang Jiaqiang looked at Ye Xiucheng and was speechless for a while. This kid has lived for more than thirty years and usually looks very energetic. How could he do such a stupid thing?
With an evil fire simmering in his heart and no place to vent it, Zhang Jiaqiang shifted his target to Brother Bao.
"Okay, borrow 3,000 yuan and pay back 30,000 yuan. What's the interest rate? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Brother Bao said proudly, "The interest is not much, plus compound interest, late payment fees, and recovery fees, it will cost him more than 30,000 yuan? Who can lend him money with such a bear like him?"
Before Brother Bao could finish speaking, Zhang Jiaqiang raised his hand and slapped him.
This slap resounded throughout the audience, causing Brother Bao to fall on top of a younger brother, his hands covering his cheeks, his eyes full of anger mixed with fear.
The laid-off workers, thinking they were about to take action, excitedly raised the seamless steel pipes in their hands and were about to rush in and start a killing spree.
Brother Bao and the younger brothers usually fight in small ways, but they have never seen such a battle. They were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
Zhang Jiaqiang turned around and glared at them, who immediately became honest and said, "Come and cool off!"
He picked up Brother Bao, gently slapped him on the cheek and said, "I'm sorry, I have cancer on my hand, I couldn't hold it back!"
Brother Bao's psychological defense completely collapsed and he begged, "I don't want the money anymore, please let me go!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "I'm here to solve the problem, not to provoke hatred. The principal must be paid, otherwise I will become a robber. Have you brought the IOU?"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and motioned to Brother Bao to also take out the IOU.
Brother Bao fumbled around for a while and finally took out a few pieces of letter paper from his pants pocket and handed them over shakily.
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't answer and motioned to Ye Xiucheng to take a look.
"Yes, this is the IOU I wrote!" Ye Xiucheng shouted excitedly after receiving the IOU.
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and counted out three thousand yuan and handed it to Ye Xiucheng, "I lent you this money. From now on, you must promise to quit gambling, otherwise I won't care if you are sold off for retail next time!"
"Don't worry, I swear, if you gamble again, I'll chop off my hand!" Ye Xiucheng nodded repeatedly, handed the money to Brother Bao, and immediately tore up the IOU.
Brother Bao didn't dare to say harsh words to save face, so he picked up the money and ran away in despair with his men.
After running far away, he stopped and said fiercely in the direction of Zhang Jiaqiang and the others.
"I'm not done with them!"
At this moment, Ye Xiucheng had a complicated expression on his face, and his heart seemed to be in a mess. He didn't know how to face this brother-in-law.
It took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Jia Qiang, I will definitely pay you back the money!"
Zhang Jiaqiang gently patted his shoulder and said sincerely.
"Every time you gamble, you will lose. There are many people who have been forced to lose their families by gambling. I don't want you to follow in their footsteps. There is no need to rush to pay back this money. I will slowly deduct it from your salary in the future!"
