"Ah?!" Lu Dapao exclaimed in shock, saying, "Kai, you must keep this a secret, otherwise... otherwise both of our reputations will be completely ruined."

"Do you even have a reputation to speak of?" Zhou Kai laughed unexpectedly.

"I..." Lu Dapao suddenly became anxious and cursed, "Kai, I'm serious, you must not spread this around, otherwise... otherwise I'm gonna be pissed at you!"

"Haha..." Zhou Kai laughed heartily, saying, "Alright, alright, I definitely won't say anything."

"That's more like it." Lu Dapao nodded, saying, "If you don't talk, we can still be brothers."

"I'm just puzzled, why are you so concerned about Little Chili?" Zhou Kai asked curiously, "You couldn't have fallen for Little Chili, could you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Dapao immediately shook his head, his head shaking like a rattle drum.

"Really?" Zhou Kai squinted his eyes, saying, "Then why do you keep on being so attentive to her for no reason? And, I feel like you always consider Little Chili's feelings in everything you do, and also, you particularly care about what she thinks of you, heh heh, you... "

"I..." Lu Dapao's face turned red, he hurriedly said, "It's... it's not like that. Don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph." Zhou Kai laughed, "I think it's very likely you've fallen for Little Chili."

Lu Dapao glared, his face stern and eyes wide, saying, "So what if I like Little Chili, you got a problem with that?"

"Heh heh, I knew it." Zhou Kai chuckled, "Got you to admit it with just a little probing."

"What about it, you wanna compete with me for her?" Lu Dapao asked coldly.

"I'm not interested." Zhou Kai shook his head, saying, "But, boy, it's going to be tough for you to chase after Little Chili."

"What, you don't support me?" Lu Dapao glared at Zhou Kai.

Lin Chuan on the side was all smiles, though tinged with bitterness. While Lu Dapao could be considered a promising youth, and he indeed had ambition, this guy was definitely not going to catch Zhou Rui's eye. Zhou Rui was relatively picky when it came to men; she wasn't looking for wealth, but she cared a great deal about compatibility. Lu Dapao was a bit of a blunt instrument in his daily life, rather crude. Moreover, he did not pay much attention to his personal image. He wasn't meticulous about his attire and tended to be slovenly.

Therefore, it would be quite difficult for Lu Dapao to chase after Zhou Rui, perhaps as hard as ascending to heaven.

"Support you, of course I do," Zhou Kai chuckled, "I'm just worried you'll get a door slammed in your face, that would be troublesome."

"Haha..." Hearing this, Lu Dapao instantly glared and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Little Chili doesn't have a bad impression of me at all, as soon as I start pursuing her, I'm sure I'll win her over in no time, it's just..."

"Just what?" Zhou Kai asked curiously.

"It's just that I feel Zhou Rui might like Brother Chuan more," Lu Dapao sighed, "So, for the sake of brotherhood, I've decided to let go."

"Haha, you wish!" Zhou Kai burst into laughter immediately.

Lin Chuan on the side laughed and said, "Da Pao, if you encounter a woman you like, go for it wholeheartedly, a hero doesn't worry about success or failure. Just be true to yourself. Got it?"

"Brother Chuan, are you encouraging me to chase after Little Chili?" Lu Dapao asked curiously.

"If you can win her over, that would be great," Lin Chuan nodded.

"That's fantastic." Lu Dapao was thrilled, saying excitedly, "With these words from you, Brother Chuan, I've made up my mind. Once we go back, I'll immediately pursue Little Chili."

"Okay." Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "But for now, let's hurry up and go to sleep, look at the time."

They had been fussing all night, and it was already one in the morning.

The crowd outside that had been watching the commotion had dispersed too, leaving just a few security guards patrolling the entrance.

The next day, early in the morning.

The door to Lin Chuan's room was banged open.

"Brother Chuan!" Zhou Kai kept yelling from outside the door.

Lin Chuan hurriedly got up, opened the door, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng just called," Zhou Kai said, gasping for breath, "he's been caught by a bunch of people; they want us to rescue him."

"What happened?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Probably people he tricked coming after him," Zhou Kai said helplessly, "and there are some debt collectors as well, they've chased him down to his place and are holding him hostage, demanding payment."

"How could this happen?" Lin Chuan quickly got dressed, saying, "Let's go take a look."

After speaking, a group of people rushed out the door.

At eight o'clock in the morning, they didn't even bother with breakfast and hurried out.

Zhao Zhonghai drove with a cigarette in his mouth, smoking as he drove straight to the location Zhou Kai had mentioned. When they arrived at the destination, several people jumped out of the car. The neighborhood was old, and a group of people surrounded the entrance. More than twenty of them, five or six were carrying sticks and cursing.

"Motherfucker, you plan on dying because you won't repay the debt?"

"Big Brother, we really should show this kid some color."

"Keep beating him."

Several guys were cursing and swearing, extremely arrogant, their accents revealing they were Northeasterners.

Lin Chuan and his group squeezed in, Zhou Kai was somewhat anxious. Amid the crowd, Liu Cheng was beaten bloody, lying on the ground like a dead dog. The man leading them, wearing a white T-shirt with a thick gold chain around his neck, had his foot on Liu Cheng's back. With a cigarette in his mouth, he arrogantly said, "Kid, if you don't settle the debt today, I might just break both of your arms."

Liu Cheng didn't make a sound, lying on the ground with his right hand covering his head, but still couldn't stop the blood from flowing out.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Kai and his group became anxious.

Bang...

Zhou Kai charged forward, immediately pushing the man away, and then angrily said, "Get lost, who beats someone like this? If he dies, who the fuck is responsible?"

The gold chain man stumbled, nearly falling over. He cursed angrily, "Motherfucker, almost killed me. You asking for it?"

Just as this guy was ready to swing the stick in his hand and rush forward, Zhao Zhonghai and his group immediately stood in front.

Zhao Zhonghai sneered, "Bro, you better think about the consequences before you start swinging!"

"Fuck, mixing it up on this street and you still dare to talk consequences to me?" The gold chain man got even angrier.

At this moment, his few lackeys slowly walked over carrying weapons, with smug expressions across their faces, seemingly showing contempt in their tone. Zhou Kai helped Liu Cheng up, then said, "Liu Cheng, are you okay man?"

"I'm fine." Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "They're here to make me repay the loan."

"You motherfucker still borrowing money from others?" Zhou Kai cursed.

"Uh, borrowed over a hundred thousand." Liu Cheng said awkwardly.

"Sorry, but it's more than just a hundred grand now." The gold chain man bearing a grin and holding a cigarette said, "Since you have a rich guy to pay back for you, let's settle once and for all. Principal plus interest, a total of five hundred and thirty-eight thousand. Are you paying cash or by card?"

While speaking, the gold chain man took out a portable card machine from the bag he was carrying.

"You!" Liu Cheng cursed, "Just a few months and there's this much interest, you guys are crazy for money?"

The gold chain man chuckled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we're a legitimate financial company. You took a loan from us, now repaying the principal and interest is very normal, right?"

Liu Cheng's face darkened and said, "Kill me if you dare, but dreaming of getting the money, there's no way."

"Kid, don't play tough with me." The face of the gold chain man turned ferocious and said, "Believe it or not, I can chop off your arms right now."

"Just kill me then, I cannot repay it anyway!" Liu Cheng said fearlessly.

The gold chain man gave a cold smile, then said, "I don't want your life, I only want money. Repaying debt is natural justice."

Lin Chuan walked out from the crowd, saying, "Repaying debt is natural justice, that's correct, and fair. But, turning a hundred grand into over five hundred grand, isn't that a bit too much?"

"Oh, where did this loser come from?" The gold chain man smiled and said, "Got a bunch of people today, planning on reneging on the debt, eh?"

Lin Chuan coldly smiled and said, "If I wanted to renege on a debt, no one would dare to collect money from me."

"Fuck, who the hell are you?" The gold chain man sneered, "Looking to show off? On San Yuan Street here, I have more brothers than you can count."

"We'll pay whatever we owe you. But if you want to collect usurious interest from us, don't dream about it." Lin Chuan responded, "If you know what's good for you, swipe the card and leave. If you don't, then today we can have a go right here."

"Motherfucker, who do you think you are!" The gold chain man roared, "If I didn't have some skill, I wouldn't dare do this job. Not a penny less will you weasel out of today."

After speaking, the gold chain man waved his hand.

Then, more than ten people immediately surrounded them. The other side seemed to have a lot of people, but not a single one was experienced in fighting. Lin Chuan frowned and sneered, "What? Looking for a fight?"

"Scared?" The gold chain man sneered, "One call from me and I can bring fifty or sixty people here, if you're scared, just pay up honestly. Otherwise, I'll have to break your arms and legs, believe it or not?"

"Believe." Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Kai, you and the others handle it."

"Cool!" Zhou Kai and his group couldn't wait to start the brawl.

Ever since the last fight with Feng Taibao's guys, they hadn't really fought with anyone much. Now, finally a place to let it all out, they were naturally very eager. Zhou Kai and the others promptly grabbed some bricks.

Bricks are very handy weapons, and hitting people with them really hurts. They are simply the best weapons for street fights and causing trouble.

"Brothers, give me a good cleanup of this blind bunch." The gold chain man roared.

"Yes!" The group closed in.

Zhou Kai held a brick in his hand, a cruel smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Da Pao, Bozi, go."
