Chapter 638: Chapter 640: The Road to Wealth Chapter 638: Chapter 640: The Road to Wealth Li Ruobing knew very well how much she owed the other party. When she heard that what she earned from her sumr job wasn’t even enough to cover the interest, she beca anxious imdiately.
“I only owe you fifty thousand yuan,” Li Ruobing argued loudly.
Slap…
Suddenly, the other party slapped her across the face, then said, “Bitch, you still dare to shout? Let tell you, starting now, you owe us a hundred thousand yuan with principal and interest. If you can’t pay today, just you wait.”
“Why is it so much?” Li Ruobing obviously wasn’t willing to acknowledge such a huge debt.
“I said, with interest!” the other party snorted coldly.
“But that’s too much, in less than a month’s ti, you actually raised it by so much!” Li Ruobing cried out in alarm.
“It’s usury!” the other party sneered, saying, “Do you even know what usury is?”
“I don’t know what usury is, all I know is that according to our agreent, even for one month, the interest would only be five thousand yuan. How can you calculate it as fifty thousand yuan?” Li Ruobing challenged the other party.
“Heh heh, your calculation may be five thousand, but ours is fifty thousand!” The tattooed man sneered, saying, “Our calculation is called compound interest, also known as interest on interest. So, you better figure it out for yourself.”
“If you’re going to calculate it that way, then I might as well not pay back at all,” Li Ruobing stubbornly refused to accept the other party’s calculations.
To her surprise, the other party wasn’t the least bit anxious but instead laughed and said, “You can choose not to pay. We’ll just take you to a nightclub to sell your body. Do you believe ?”
“You!” Li Ruobing imdiately beca frantic upon hearing this, “I’ll call the police!”
“Haha…” Upon hearing this, the tattooed man burst into laughter, then said, “Call the police? Sure, you can call the police at any ti, it’s best to do it right now, so we can feel a sense of accomplishnt. Go ahead, call the police!”
Upon hearing this, Li Ruobing was completely dumbfounded.
At that mont, she suddenly rembered that the other party belonged to the underworld, so how could they possibly be afraid of her calling the police? Therefore, Li Ruobing felt a sense of despair, a kind that felt like crying out to no avail, a helpless despair.
She anxiously said, “Even if you want to pay the money back, you should let go out to collect the money, right? If you don’t let go, how can I pay you back?”
“We have already given you plenty of ti,” the man snorted coldly, saying, “You were supposed to pay us back a month ago, but during this month, you ignored us completely, not giving a damn. What do you think…?”
Li Ruobing frowned, then said, “I’m at school, where do you expect to find the money?”
“Now, I’m going to tell you a very good solution, do you want to hear it?” The tattooed man chuckled.
“What do you want to do?” Li Ruobing looked at him with suspicion.
“I don’t want to do anything!” The tattooed man grinned, then said, “I’m just offering you a way to get rich!”
“How to get rich?” Li Ruobing asked doubtfully.
“It’s simple, by selling your body!” The tattooed man smiled, saying, “I’ll take you to a place to sell. I’ll charge you a thousand yuan each ti. How about it? As long as you obey and behave, you’ll be able to pay back the hundred thousand yuan in less than a month.”
Li Ruobing hesitated for a mont, but she still shook her head, saying, “No… that’s not possible!”
“Not possible?” The tattooed man looked at her perplexed, then said, “You dare to refuse ?”
“I don’t want to sell my body!” Li Ruobing shook her head, saying, “You can give any other job, no matter how hard or tiring, I don’t mind!”
“Apart from that, there’s no other way!” The tattooed man sneered, saying, “This kind of job makes money fast, and you’d be able to repay the loan within a month. Why wouldn’t you want that?”
“I don’t want to do that kind of thing,” Li Ruobing shook her head.
“Hmph!” The tattooed man snorted coldly, saying, “Stop putting on a Holy Mother act here. You won’t sell yourself? Heh, don’t you do it with your boyfriend? Who cares who it’s with, it’s all the sa. Why bother putting up a front?”
“How can that be the sa?” Li Ruobing frowned.
Thump thump thump…
Just then, the door of the room was knocked on.
“Who is it?” The tattooed man asked.
“Big brother, Monkey King is here!” At the door, a voice of an underling ca through.
The tattooed man was taken aback for a mont, then said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
After speaking, the tattooed man stood up, then turned to Li Ruobing and said, “You better think it through carefully, either pay back the money quickly or start selling your body. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you regret it!”
Leaving behind those words, the tattooed man then turned and left.
Watching the tattooed man’s retreating figure, Li Ruobing felt a wave of sadness and heartache.
She had never imagined that she would be tricked by soone again. The last ti, the nude photo extortion had almost put her in danger; if it wasn’t for Xiao Han, she might have been taken to the cabaret club and sold. And this ti, she found herself in trouble again, borrowing money once more, only to be tricked by her boyfriend, leaving her unable to repay the fifty thousand yuan. Once again, the bla was directed at her.
Li Ruobing felt extrely sad in her heart.
Actually, this ti she had borrowed fifty thousand yuan from that man solely due to her boyfriend’s demands.
Li Ruobing’s boyfriend, Liu Yanping, was a senior in college. He needed the loan for two main reasons; first, he had graduated but hadn’t found a suitable job and so he had to try entrepreneurship. Secondly, he knew that Li Ruobing had always liked Xiao Han, and Li Ruobing had even told him that Hann Restaurant in University Town was opened by Xiao Han.
Unable to find a job, he had to find a way to start a business. He thought, if Xiao Han could do it, why couldn’t he? Therefore, he had Li Ruobing help him borrow fifty thousand yuan to start a business.
However, when Liu Yanping entered society, he discovered how cruel the world was. The fifty thousand yuan investnt not only brought no returns, but he also lost everything and ended up broke, squandering not just the fifty thousand yuan Li Ruobing loaned him but also the one hundred thousand yuan he had asked for from his family.
Knowing he couldn’t face Li Ruobing, Liu Yanping simply bought a train ticket south to Shenzhen to work. He hoped he could quickly earn fifty thousand yuan to give to Li Ruobing and beg for her forgiveness.
Liu Yanping’s departure brought endless troubles to Li Ruobing. It was also because of this that the scene of Li Ruobing being taken away from the dormitory occurred.
…………
Inside the Ye Se Bar.
Monkey King sat on the sofa, with Xiao Han sitting beside him. The bar was doing well; it was bustling with people, and so drug dealers were carefully inquiring if patrons needed their goods. Of course, their drugs weren’t the fatal kind, but the kind that offered a ntal high, such as nitrous oxide, various types of morphine, and thamphetamine.
The tattooed man ca out of the room and spotted Monkey King from a distance.
“Yo, Brother Hou,” the man chuckled.
“Your business here isn’t bad, huh?” Monkey King laughed.
“Of course!” the tattooed man nodded and said, “Isn’t that all thanks to you and Dao Ye?”
“I’m not going to beat around the bush!” Monkey King looked at him and continued, “Did you bring a female student from Shuimu University here?”
“Ah…” the tattooed man hesitated for a mont and replied, “Yes, I did.”
“Why?” Monkey King asked, puzzled.
“This…” The tattooed man was taken aback and awkwardly said, “Isn’t it because she owes money? She borrowed a sum from a few months ago and has been delaying repaynt. I was afraid she would run away during sumr vacation, so I simply took her from the school.”
“Oh?” Monkey King gave him a questioning look, then asked, “So what’s your plan?”
“I plan to send her to a cabaret club to sell,” the tattooed man smiled and continued, “She’s pretty and has a good figure. I think she can fetch a good price. What do you think?”
Monkey King was startled for a mont, then said, “No way!”
“Huh?” The tattooed man was taken aback, “Why not? I think it’s a good idea. With her around, she could support an entire venue. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has the title of a university student. She should start at a price of at least three thousand.”
“The reason I ca to see you today is to tell you to release her,” Monkey King spoke.
“Brother Hou, this…” The tattooed man looked awkwardly at him and said, “This woman is neither my relative nor my friend; why should I release her? Of course, if Brother Hou insists, I will. But what you’re saying is really confusing !”
“Although she’s not related to , she’s Xiao Han’s classmate and friend.” Monkey King glanced at Xiao Han and continued, “Xiao Han has a good relationship with our Dao ng, especially Dao Ye. Dao Ye has already given the order. So, tell … are you going to release her?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The tattooed man imdiately nodded and said, “Since Dao Ye has spoken, who am I to refuse?”
“Then what are you hesitating for?” Monkey King looked at him.
“Right away!” The tattooed man hurriedly nodded, “I’ll bring her here imdiately!”
The tattooed man breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sowhat fortunate that he hadn’t laid hands on Li Ruobing or done anything else to her; otherwise, the consequences would have been severe. He had heard of Xiao Han’s reputation, that Xiao Han had defeated the three War Gods of Dao ng, even King Kong, so the tattooed man had no choice but to respect him.
He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly made his way to the room.
Li Ruobing was in the room, under guard.
“Big brother, this woman is so stubborn!” complained the underling who had been a bit handsy. He had been promptly kicked twice by Li Ruobing.
“Enough, get lost!” the tattooed man glared at the underling and said, “Let her go!”
“Huh?” The underling wasn’t the only one stunned; even Li Ruobing was surprised.
“Big brother, you an we’re just letting her go?” The underling was confused.
