Ignoring Liang Yu's questioning, Chu Ge kept a composed face, eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze firmly fixed on Old Li, who was staring at him dumbfounded, as if there was no one else in the room.
He really wanted to see what kind of face this person had.
The man in front of him was very thin, genuinely just skin and bones, looking like a skeleton wrapped in human skin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
His somewhat yellowish hair was sparse, limply sticking to his scalp, his complexion was sickly pale, eye sockets deep, cheekbones protruding, and his subconsciously opened mouth revealed irregular yellow-black stained teeth.
As Chu Ge scrutinized Old Li, Old Li looked back in terror at this man who broke in through the window, exuding an aura of danger and menace.
He couldn't understand why, even though he had never met this man, the moment he came in he was staring at him as if he wanted to kill him.
The room was deathly silent, the air suddenly becoming somewhat solidified.
Until a night breeze blew in through the shattered window, and the sound of whooshing filled the room, the few people except for Chu Ge shivered involuntarily.
Although Liang Yu instinctively felt a sense of danger from this person in front of him, he had seen some situations, and after a few seconds of silence, he suppressed his doubts and spoke to the man who was clearly here to cause trouble once again.
"Buddy, what's the meaning of this? You barged into my place uninvited, don't you owe me an explanation?"
As Liang Yu's voice fell, Chu Ge stepped forward, walking to the spot directly opposite Old Li.
"You... what are you trying to do..."
Before Old Li could finish his sentence, Chu Ge, suppressing the urge to immediately break his neck, grabbed his collar and tossed him aside at Liang Yu's feet as if he were trash.
Slowly turning around, Chu Ge met Liang Yu's increasingly suspicious eyes.
"I'm here to give you an explanation. Didn't you want to kill him? Go ahead, let's see how you do it."
Seeing Chu Ge's gloomy expression and hearing his sinister voice, everyone's pupils in the room shrank suddenly, their scalps tingling, and they were more confused about the situation.
Liang Yu's eyelids twitched again, although he had a numerical advantage, he had a gut feeling that if they really fought, they might not come out on top.
"Buddy, you didn't kick in the window to come in and play charades with us, did you? Let's not beat around the bush, can you lay it out for us? What exactly do you want?"
It was precisely because of this intuition that although Liang Yu was frustrated, he didn't speak too harshly.
Pulling over the chair Old Li was just sitting on, Chu Ge sat down casually, tilted his head, lit a cigarette, and crossed his legs.
Blowing out a puff of smoke, Chu Ge glanced at Old Li who had scrambled to hide behind Liang Yu, and said indifferently, "He owes you money, right?"
Liang Yu nodded, "That's right."
"You're waiting for his daughter to pay you back, and if she can't, you'll kill him, right?"
Liang Yu's eyes flickered, a suspicion forming in his mind, but he didn't voice it and nodded again, "That's also right."
Chu Ge took another drag of his cigarette, "Ye Li is my woman now. Now you know why I'm here, right?"
Liang Yu thought to himself, as expected, and said sternly, "Buddy, by your account, you're saying you want to take care of this matter for Ye Li?"
"Seems you're not too slow, that's exactly what I mean."
Chu Ge casually played with a deck of cards on the table, speaking calmly, clearly showing he did not take the people in front of him seriously.
Liang Yu frowned again, although Chu Ge's attitude made him increasingly want to make a move, he finally suppressed the impulse and said in a not-too-hard-not-too-soft tone, "Since you've taken Ye Li in, are you also going to pay back the money her father owes me?"
Chu Ge sneered through his nose, looking at Liang Yu as if he were an idiot, shaking his head.
"I made it very clear earlier, didn't I? I'm here to watch you kill this Old Li. If you're going to do it, then do it. Once he's dead, I'll leave, and this debt will be written off."
Hearing Chu Ge say this, Old Li, hiding behind Liang Yu, shivered again, feeling that Chu Ge was not joking at all.
"You!"
The fire in Liang Yu's heart was growing, he pointed at Chu Ge's nose, his face becoming increasingly overcast, his thick eyebrows almost knitting together, and the other three were also ready to make a move at any moment.
Taking a deep breath, Brother Liang finally decided to observe further to see what was going on with the person in front of him.
"Buddy, in this line of work, it's all about making money. Taking his life won't benefit me at all. Since you're determined to get involved in this matter, shouldn't you at least give me your name? At least let me, Liang Yu, know which path you're on? So far, I've given you enough face. Shouldn't you also give me some face?"
Chu Ge laughed heartily, "Face? Aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself? Do you really think you're someone important? Just with you guys, I can take you all down with one hand. Do you really deserve to talk about face with me? Why should I give you face?"
Seeing Chu Ge's arrogant attitude, Liang Yu was almost exploding with anger, with veins bulging on his forehead. But the more Chu Ge acted this way, the more uncertain Liang Yu felt inside. The impulse to take action wasn't as strong as before.
After hesitating, Liang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Buddy, if you think that my face, Liang Yu's face, isn't worth anything, then surely you've heard of Brother Long, right? I'm with Brother Long. Can you show me some face this time?"
Hearing this, Chu Ge was momentarily stunned, pondering whether the Brother Long Liang Yu mentioned was the same Long Kun he had just seen?
Noticing Chu Ge's daze, Liang Yu felt more confident. It seemed that this guy was indeed in the underworld, clearly knowing Brother Long's name. This time, no matter what, he ought to give him some face.
However, just as Liang Yu was about to say some pleasantries, Chu Ge shook his head, "What's all this Brother Long this, Brother Dog that, never heard of them. Don't waste my time with this nonsense, I don't have the leisure to chat with you."
Seeing Chu Ge not even giving Brother Long any regard, Liang Yu became even more puzzled. After all, from Chu Ge's previous reaction, he seemed to know Brother Long's name.
Yet, he still dared to say such things, leaving Liang Yu even more unsure about where this guy actually came from.
"Buddy, just a kind reminder, being too arrogant doesn't do any good. Besides, there's the saying: 'A life for a life, a debt must be repaid.' He owes me money, and I intend to collect it. It seems only right, doesn't it?"
Chu Ge smiled faintly, "Of course, it's only right. That's why I said from the beginning, if you guys think his life can offset the money he owes you, then go ahead and beat him to death. Expecting me to pay you? Forget about it."
This time, Liang Yu couldn't suppress the surge of anger inside. He glared, laughing furiously, "Do you really think I don't dare to kill him?"
As he spoke, Liang Yu grabbed what little hair Old Li had left, slamming his head "thud" onto the table, and shouted to a young guy by the computer, "Give me the steel pipe!"
Chu Ge snorted through his nose, leisurely smoking, indifferent to how Liang Yu treated Old Li. He wasn't going to intervene.
Seeing Liang Yu about to get serious, Ye Li's foster father was almost scared to death, screaming loudly, seizing the chance while Liang Yu was focused on Chu Ge, and struggled desperately.
After having a tuft of hair yanked out, Ye Li's foster father, despite the excruciating pain, rolled and crawled to Chu Ge's feet, crying out mournfully.
"Son-in-law, dear son-in-law! Help! I'm your father-in-law! You can't..."
"Get lost!"
Before Ye Li's foster father could finish, Chu Ge kicked him hard, cutting off the rest of his words.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
That kick, Chu Ge didn't hold back at all, hitting Ye Li's foster father square in the chest, making him fly back instantly, knocking over two chairs before landing on the ground, barely catching his breath, almost kicked to death.
This scene left Liang Yu and the others dumbfounded. They instinctively looked at the intensely coughing Ye Li's foster father on the ground, then at Chu Ge.
What's going on here?
Didn't he say Ye Li was his woman? Then wouldn't Ye Li's foster father be his father-in-law?
No matter how much he despised Old Li, he shouldn't have hit his father-in-law so hard, right? Kicking him several meters away? How much force did he use? Isn't this outrageous?
In fact, Chu Ge did hold back with that kick. Ye Li's foster father should be grateful.
If it were the Chu Ge who had not yet returned as an ordinary person to the city, in such a rage, he'd have killed him already. How could he still be alive to cough?
Ye Li's father coughed for a while before finally struggling to his feet, eyes wide with terror, stammering, "You... how could you..."
Having stayed there so long, Chu Ge was already irritated, ignoring Ye Li's foster father's stammering, not even glancing at him. He flicked the cigarette butt to the ground, ground it out with his shoe, and looked towards Liang Yu.
Feeling Chu Ge's impatient gaze, Liang Yu felt utterly humiliated, never having been so aggrieved in his life!
After all, he was in the underworld with Brother Long. Yet this inexplicable guy barging in, how could he disregard him and Brother Long like this?
"Buddy, aren't you being a bit too much?"
Chu Ge crossed his arms and sneered, "I'm being over the top, so what?"
