Chapter 437: Make A Deal (II)

"Xu Jin sent us to you. He said that you will be able to pay back his gambling debt for him."

These days they had been keeping Xu Jin locked up in the gambling den but even after this, the Xu family was unwilling to take the money out for them. If anything, they actually came up with a bunch of excuses about how they could not pay the money and needed time to collect the three thousand yuan that Xu Jin owed them. Since when did gambling dens start handing out extra time to the families of their victims? Their boss hurriedly asked them to arrange things for him and only then did Xu Jin blurt out Han Ruochen’s name and tell them to go and look for her.

Of course, the man must have thought that with Han Ruochen’s guts and her being a woman, she would obediently take the money out for him. Xu Jin had long heard about Han Ruochen from his sister and knew that she had money even if her brother did not. So he targeted her, as for what would happen to Han Ruochen or what these thugs would do to get the money from Han Ruochen, he did not care about it in the least.

As long as he could save his life, who cared what happened to Han Ruochen?

Unfortunately for him, he had no idea that these thugs would never dare to harm Han Ruochen. First of all, they were worried about her superhuman strength. The last time they were beaten up, they ended up in hospital for many days. Even though no bones were broken, the pain alone was enough to make them stay out of action.

Secondly, they knew that this woman knew too much about them and had all the right connections to get them shot. They dared not to go against her.

The leader of the thug was well aware of this; he smiled at Han Ruochen and spoke gently, "Miss Han, I know that this matter is a bit tricky but you are all a family in the end. There is no endless hatred in one day, how about you pay the debt of three thousand yuan for this brother-in-law of your family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Han Ruochen and shut up knowingly. It seemed like Han Ruochen really hated this Xu Jin guy. The look in her eyes was full of warning and hatred as if someone had dug out her ancestral graves. The leader knew that if he dared to speak for Xu Jin, Han Ruochen would beat him up.

So he wisely kept his mouth shut.

Indeed, there was a blood grudge between the Han family and the Xu family. That woman from the Xu family not only brought back a bastard seed to their family but also got entangled with her adulterer in the later half of her life. Han Ruochen did not know what the two of them did but she had a feeling that it was Xu Yuanshu and the Xu family who killed her brother in the end.

How could she even help the Xu family?

"Why does it matter to me if that man is locked up by you?" Han Ruochen coldly glanced at the thugs and questioned. "Let me tell you, I have nothing to do with the Xu family and I will not pay back the debts."

Sure enough, it was just as he expected. This woman hated the Xu family. Now what were they going to do? Their boss would definitely be furious at them.

"But it is not impossible for you to earn three thousand yuan if you want."

As soon as Han Ruochen said those words, the leader of the thugs raised his head and looked at her in shock. "You... what do you mean?"

"I mean nothing much. Just keep Xu Jin locked up in the gambling centre and coerce the Xu family until their daughter starts making a move. As soon as she connects someone at the county, you need to tell me. After that, I will give you the money." Han Ruochen’s eyes flickered with a scheming light. She had no idea who Xu Yuanshu’s adulterer was; because of this very reason, she was a bit in a bind but if she could use these thugs to sniff out the person then using three thousand yuan was not a loss.

The leader of the thug was a smart man. When he heard that Han Ruochen wanted him to follow someone secretly, he knew that she wanted to make a deal with them. He narrowed his eyes and remarked, "Miss Han, I know that we are thugs but we will not do anything illegal."

"The last time—"

"It was a mistake!" They did not expect that the young master of the Zhai family would have such a filthy mouth. Even when he was being beaten up, he did not stay quiet and kept running his mouth, which caused the tragedy. If not, they would have never done such a thing. Even if they ate the guts and gall of a tiger.

Han Ruochen shrugged. "Then you can forget about the three thousand yuan. I know that you must be at your wits’ end. The Xu family are now really poor and they cannot take even a penny out; my big brother is the same. The only one who can give you the money is me. So unless you want to cause trouble for yourself, I will suggest that you listen to what I am telling you."

The leader’s eyes darkened. He knew that what Han Ruochen said was indeed true. If he did not bring the money back today, he would be in a lot of trouble. They were not educated and did not have many skills; they could only rely on such petty ways to earn money. The boss of the gambling den knew too much about their dark deeds and if they dared to go against him, the leader was worried that the boss would definitely cause trouble for them.

"How do you want to make this deal with us?"
