Chapter 1065: Chapter 1054: Brother Tiger
“Don’t kill me… don’t kill me.”
Lv Wenlong felt the pressure on his neck, his gaze met Ning Fan’s cold eyes devoid of any emotion, and an instant surge of endless fear welled up within his heart.
He felt as if what stood opposite him was not a person, but a beast from ancient prehistoric times!
“Mr. Ning… um, we’re here to collect debts.”
Just as Ning Fan was tightening his arms, gradually exerting more force, watching Lv Wenlong’s feet leave the ground as he struggled in pain, his face flushing red, Ouyang Feifei gently tugged at his sleeve from behind.
“Haha, I almost forgot about that.”
Ning Fan scratched his head awkwardly and loosened his grip.
With his feet finally touching the ground, Lv Wenjun gulped air, massaging his neck that was sore from the choking, his eyes full of terror and the relief of having narrowly escaped death.
“Uh… sorry about that earlier, the method was a bit rough, don’t take it to heart.”
Ning Fan chuckled, looked over at the fat manager sitting dazedly to the side, thoroughly frightened out of his wits, and smiled as he spoke, “I was a bit rude to this fat brother earlier too. Should I apologize to him?”
“No… no need!”
Lv Wenlong dared not accept Ning Fan’s apology, waving his hand repeatedly, standing up, and kicked the fat manager on his butt, cursing, “What the hell are you still doing here, hurry up and apologize to them!”
“I… I apologize to them?”
The fat manager awoke as if from a dream, pointed at himself, bearing an expression of disbelief.
“Damn it, who else but me would it be?”
Lv Wenlong fiercely glared at the fat manager.
“I’m sorry!”
The fat manager dared not defy Lv Wenlong’s orders, his face flushed as he lowered his head before Ning Fan.
“The one you should apologize to is her.”
Ning Fan pointed to Ouyang Feifei beside him, speaking calmly.
“Miss… I’m sorry!”
The fat manager clenched his teeth, suppressing his internal humiliation, and turned toward Ouyang Feifei to apologize once more.
“Now that’s more like it.”
Ning Fan chuckled, patting the fat manager’s shoulder, showing a satisfied expression of “a promising student.”
“With the apology out of the way, Chairman Lv, shouldn’t we talk about the debt and interest now?”
Ning Fan counted on his fingers, smiling as he said, “The funds that should have been settled the day before yesterday have been delayed until now. Do you know how many negative impacts this has had on our company?”
“It’s because of this outstanding payment that our company is now in chaos, each project forced to halt, and we can’t even pay the cafeteria auntie’s wages anymore. We haven’t eaten for days, forcing us to come here to collect debts.”
Ning Fan maintained a smile, pressing down Lv Wenlong’s shoulder, saying, “You’ll take on the nutrition and mental damages, right?”
“I’ll take it… I’ll take it.”
Lv Wenlong dared not express any opposition at this point, merely gritting his teeth and agreeing.
“Well, not bad, Chairman Lv is indeed a hero and a champion, speaking with bravura.”
Ning Fan raised his thumb, praising Lv Wenlong, continuing, “I did a rough estimate, with interest and various losses, I waived the rounding for your sake, let’s say one hundred million.”
“What! One hundred million!”
Lv Wenlong, who had been keeping his head down, screamed in disbelief, arguing, “But I only owe you fifty million!”
“Fifty million… still has to be repaid as a hundred million!”
The coldness instantly returned to Ning Fan’s eyes, pressing Lv Wenlong’s head, he softly said, “Chairman Lv, unwilling?”
“I… I am willing.”
Lv Wenlong felt as though his molars were almost crushed, suppressing his inner anger as he spok, “One hundred million it is, but I truly don’t have money here.”
“No money?”
Upon hearing these words, Ning Fan’s face immediately darkened.
Seeing Ning Fan about to anger, Lv Wenlong hurriedly explained, “You might not know, big brother, I’m merely working for someone, all funds of Hongtu Construction Company are in Brother Hu’s hands, he’s the real boss behind the scenes.”
Saying this, Lv Wenlong swallowed hard, wiped the fresh blood continuously oozing from his nose, and timidly said, “If you’ve got the skills, go get it from Brother Hu.”
“Brother Hu? What’s his background?”
Ning Fan turned to look at Ouyang Feifei, asking.
Ouyang Feifei, who led the Shadow Team, had already conducted detailed investigations into various forces in Dragon City. Upon hearing these words, she promptly responded without hesitation, “Mr. Ning, Brother Hu should refer to Yang Hu, who has a complex background and holds a certain status in both the commercial and underground organizations in Dragon City.”
“Then let’s go, though this trip was in vain, turning fifty million into a hundred million still counts as a nice result.”
Ning Fan twisted his neck, wrapped his arm around Ouyang Feifei’s slender waist, walking toward the exit without a hint of fear of someone ambushing from behind.
Those security guards who had been scared senseless watched the two leave, then drove off without daring even to let out a fart.
Only when Ning Fan’s car disappeared from everyone’s view did anyone, including the security guards, even dare to emit a sound.
“Worthless bunch!”
Watching Ning Fan leave, Lv Wenlong stood upright, his face seething with fury.
“What good are you, so many can’t handle a single person!”
After scolding the security guards a few times, Lv Wenlong turned around and kicked each of the two bodyguards, still dissatisfied, cursing angrily, “You two boast all the time about being ace special forces, yet got kicked flying by a single person.”
“What kind of crap special forces, trash!”
“Chairman… it’s truly not that our brothers aren’t competent, it’s that the man is too skilled. I can assure you, even the devil instructor who trained us wouldn’t last more than a few moves with him.”
One of the bodyguards explained with a face full of grievance.
“Haha, skilled?”
Watching Ning Fan’s distant silhouette, a trace of fierceness flashed in Lv Wenlong’s eyes as he muttered, “Then let you meet Brother Hu and see whose fists are sturdier!”
Yang Hu, undoubtedly a pivotal figure in Dragon City’s underground organization, controlling about seventy percent of the entertainment venues and real estate developments in Dragon City.
Due to his extremely low profile, Yang Hu’s name remains largely unknown, and most of his enterprises are manipulated from behind the scenes, with visible bosses being people like Lv Wenlong.
Thinking that Yang Hu could soon avenge him and restore his honor, excitement gleamed in Lv Wenlong’s eyes, no longer hesitating; he immediately dialed an important number on his contact list.
“Master He, is Brother Hu by your side? I have an important matter to report.”
Lv Wenlong, nodding and bowing toward the phone, spoke with a face full of ingratiation.
After hanging up the call, Lv Wenlong dialed another number, his voice becoming increasingly respectful.
“Grandpa Hong, it’s Little Longy, there was a little mishap with the task you entrusted to me…”
