Chapter 340: Collecting Debt

It was this sentence that confirmed the contractor’s thoughts. Someone who was unwilling to let go of that bit of money was definitely not a rich person. He was almost fooled just now. Fortunately, he was a person who had been around. There was no need to argue with a piece of trash! Thinking of this, he smirked and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t pocket a few hundred yuan!”

When he said this, the other workers laughed even more happily.

“Lu Hua, why can’t you find a better way to brag? You exposed yourself the moment you opened your mouth. I’ve never seen a leader personally work in the field in my life. Hahahaha! Could it be that you’re more approachable? With this disfigured face, I’m afraid only we’re willing to take you in!”

“In my opinion, the contractor should have chased him away a long time ago. He made mistakes time and time again. I almost thought that this person is a relative of some leader. If it were anyone else, they would have been blacklisted long ago! I think we should leave quickly lest we get angrier and angrier!”

“Lu Yaohua! If you give Boss Lu a private call now, as long as you can get through to the other party, we’ll all consider you his relative. How about it? This request is quite simple, right? But I think it’s impossible, because Boss Lu’s phone number is absolutely confidential. It would be a miracle if you have it!”

…

If possible, he really wanted to retort that he did have the other party’s phone number, but he had been blocked. But if he called Lu Ming on the spot, wouldn’t his true identity be exposed? In other words, all his previous efforts in assuming a new identity would be in vain!

Then there was no point in him changing his appearance!

He suppressed his anger and said angrily, “I’ll make you pay sooner or later! Before long, you’ll regret all the decisions you made today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw his construction site hat on the ground and walked further and further away.

The contractor looked away. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that this Lu Hua looked a little like someone who often appeared in magazines in the past. However… It should be my imagination, right? Those big shots aren’t people we could run into. Perhaps they just look alike?

Hence, he did not take this matter to heart and let the others continue working.

Meanwhile.

Lu Yaohua, who had his hands in his pockets, had just left his previous job when he was surrounded by a few burly men! Immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stammered, “B-Brother Ma? Why are you guys here? Why are you looking for me?”

“Do you think we’ve come all the way here to invite you to tea?”

The leader of the group said impatiently, “What’s wrong? We haven’t been looking for you recently. Are you itching for a beating? Didn’t you say that you would pay back the money today? Have you forgotten? Hurry up. The creditors are urging us. You don’t want us to force you into a dead end, right?”

Lu Yaohua looked around guiltily, unable to say a word for a long time.

The lackey on the left seemed to have thought of something and said, “I remember that he should be working at the construction site, right? Why is this fellow leaving? Moreover, he’s not even wearing a helmet. Could it be that he was chased out because he angered the leader? Then what if we don’t get our debt payment?”

“Is it time for us to flex our muscles? You’ve been delaying the payment and I’ve never been so patient with my own child. You’re just a down-and-out Boss Lu, and you’re playing hardball? You’re just an ordinary person! I thought that as a rich person, you should have some savings. I didn’t expect you to be so poor!”

The muscular man on the right pressed his knuckles and spoke with a grim expression. The atmosphere became more and more solemn. Lu Yaohua, who was stuck in the middle, was trembling. Compared to them, he was just a little chick. It would be easy for them to crush him.

His mind raced. If he did not trick this group of people, he would definitely suffer!

He forced a smile and said, “T-This debt problem happened in the blink of an eye. It’s not worth my attention at all. No matter what, I used to be the boss of a company that started from scratch. As long as… as long as you give me some time, I’ll definitely pay you back double! What do you think?”

“Double?”

Brother Ma snorted in disdain and said, “Lu Yaohua, are you out of your mind? Do you need me to remind you? Because you haven’t paid back for a long time, your interest alone has already quadrupled! I have reason to suspect that you want to reduce the amount of repayment. Do you really think we’re to be trifled with?”

When Lu Yaohua heard this, he shook his head like a rattle drum and said obsequiously, “Of, of course not. The double I’m talking about is the capital and interests combined, right? Since I was able to successfully establish a company previously, the second time will definitely be smoother, so, so…

Give me a little more time!”

As long as he fooled them this time, he would take the money he had saved and develop elsewhere. At that time, who would recognize him as Lu Yaohua? He could also get rid of these debt collectors! When he made a comeback, his career would definitely prosper without Tang Wenyi as his teammate! Although it might not be comparable to a prestigious family business like the Tang family’s, it would be more than enough to be considered an elite enterprise!

“Previously? You really know how to flatter yourself. At that time, didn’t you rely on the resources of the Tang family’s third daughter? Moreover, Lu Ming had yet to grow up at that time. Things are different now. If you weren’t disfigured, you wouldn’t be able to survive in Shanghai at all. Perhaps people already knew what you did!”

The man on the right said mercilessly, “Lu Ming simply can’t be bothered with you, but I don’t think he’s the Holy Father who lets his enemies do whatever they like.”

To be able to get to where they were today, step by step, how could their hands be clean? Lu Yaohua was just like a cornered beast. The final outcome depended on when Mr. Lu would get tired of this game. They had to collect the money now!

His fellow worker on the left echoed, “I agree. You abandoned your wife and son. Not only did you not pay the child support fee, but you also forced the mother and son into a dead end. Even animals don’t do something like that! If it were me, I would have let you die thousands of times! I’m already showing my greatest mercy letting you live! We might be brawny, but we still have some brains! Are you trying to fool us? No way!”

“We’re very busy. We still have to collect money from several people later, so we can’t be bothered to continue talking nonsense with you. Give us the money we agreed on and we’ll leave immediately!”

Brother Ma stretched out his hands and said, “200,000 yuan shouldn’t be too much for someone like you who has been a boss, right? We’ve interacted a few times. You should know our personalities. We’re all straightforward people!”
