“Kid, you're not old, but you're quite the show-off. Do you really think calling on the phone and putting on a show will bring you three million? Take a look at yourself in the mirror, what are you? Do you even have three million?”
Zhao Xingkai, standing beside Bai Hao, shouted mockingly.
“Young Master Zhao, since he wants to put on a show, let him. Look at him, riding an electric bike, how can he possibly have three million?”
“However, although this old house isn't worth much, it’s very important to our Hesheng Group. We are planning to develop this area and build a large shopping mall. By then, this piece of land will be worth a lot!”
“If Young Master Zhao is interested, I can give this old house to your company. When the project starts, Young Master Zhao can sell it off and make a few million!”
Bai Hao looked at Zhao Xingkai with a smile. It was clear he was trying to curry favor with Zhao Xingkai, as the latter, a second-generation rich kid from the police department, often smoothed things over for their Hesheng Group.
“Since Young Master Zhao is so generous, I’ll accept it!”
Zhao Xingkai’s eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.
But before their smiles could fully bloom, a black Mercedes suddenly stopped in front of Lu Yang. Men in black suits emerged from the car, carrying two briefcases.
“Mr. Lu, we’ve brought the money you requested!”
“Three million, not a penny less!”
After speaking, they opened the briefcases, revealing stacks of hundred-yuan bills neatly arranged inside.
This scene utterly shocked Bai Hao and Zhao Xingkai. They had just mocked Lu Yang as a pauper, only to be slapped in the face.
Their followers behind them stared in disbelief.
“Young Master Bai, here’s the three million. Can you return my ancestral home now?”
Lu Yang sneered at Bai Hao.
“You… Aren’t you that useless son-in-law of the Tang family? How could you possibly have so much money?”
Bai Hao stammered after a few seconds of shock.
“How much money I have shouldn’t concern you. I sold the Lu family ancestral home to you for thirty thousand yuan back then. Now I’m buying it back for three million. You’ve made tenfold profit, so you should be overjoyed!”
Lu Yang continued.
“You dream of getting the Lu family ancestral home back!”
“I’ve already promised Young Master Zhao. This Lu family old house has been given to Young Master Zhao, so you don’t have a chance anymore!”
“Even if you have money, I won’t sell it to you now!”
“How about that? Are you angry?”
Bai Hao suddenly regained his arrogance. Three million yuan was pocket change to him. He had been momentarily shocked when Lu Yang produced the money, but it was just for a moment.
“Not selling?”
“You, the young master of Hesheng Group, go back on your word like this?”
“Didn’t you just say that as long as I offered ten times the price, you would sell it to me? Now you’re refusing?”
“If that’s the case, tomorrow, I will make sure everyone in Jiangbei City knows that you, Bai Hao, are a man who speaks with his backside!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang’s smile turned cold.
“Kid, what the hell did you just say? I think you’re tired of living!”
“Do you think you can disrespect me just because you served some rich old woman last night and got three million?”
“Compared to me, you’re nothing but an ant! How dare you speak to me like this!”
“Attack him! Break one of this kid’s legs!”
Bai Hao’s eyes turned icy, and he roared at his subordinates.
Lu Yang was taken aback, not expecting Bai Hao to be so ruthless. He immediately said, “Oh, you’re not only refusing to repay the debt, but you’re also resorting to violence? Let me tell you, I’ve already called the police. The police will be here soon!”
“The police? Haha, kid, you’re a real idiot. You probably don’t even know who this Young Master Zhao is, do you?”
“Listen carefully, this Young Master Zhao is the only son of Director Zhao of the Jiangbei City Police Department. Whatever Young Master Zhao says goes in the entire police department. I can assure you, the people you called won’t help you; they’ll arrest you instead!”
“A good-for-nothing like you should be in prison eating stale bread!”
Bai Hao laughed heartily.
“Just the son of a director, so what? Is the police department run by his family?”
Lu Yang sneered.
“What the hell did you just say?”
“Disrespecting Young Master Zhao is a death sentence!”
“What are you guys waiting for? Break this kid’s leg, and when the police arrive, throw this waste into prison!”
Bai Hao narrowed his eyes and coldly roared.
Soon, the seven or eight subordinates of Bai Hao surrounded Lu Yang, preparing to attack.
At this moment, the two men in black suits who had brought the money closed the briefcases and stood directly in front of Lu Yang.
When the two sides clashed, it was clear that Bai Hao’s subordinates were no match for the two men in black. In less than three minutes, they were all lying on the ground.
“This…”
“How is this possible?”
“Who are you? How dare you meddle in the Bai family’s business? Are you tired of living?”
Bai Hao glared at the two men in black and shouted coldly.
“The Bai family? What is the Bai family worth?”
The two men in black clearly didn't take the Bai family seriously. They were bodyguards of Lin Guoxiong and wouldn't be intimidated by a mere Bai family.
“Kid, you’re quite arrogant. Bringing in a couple of street thugs who know a little kung fu and daring to disregard the Bai family? Do you believe I can drown you in money in minutes?”
Bai Hao’s face was icy as he roared.
“Since you don’t take the Bai family seriously, what about the police department? Are you planning to attack me too?”
Zhao Xingkai, standing beside Bai Hao, asked with a cold smile.
“The police department? If you stand aside and don’t get involved, today’s matter has nothing to do with you. But if you get involved, then I’m sorry, I’ll treat you the same!”
Lu Yang sneered. He had just dealt with Zhao Xingkai’s father yesterday, and now Zhao Xingkai had the audacity to jump out.
“Haha, you really have a big mouth! The Director of the Police Department is my father. If I want to kill you, it’s as easy as crushing a bug!”
Zhao Xingkai’s confidence reached its peak.
“Oh? Is that so? Do you want to try it and see if you crush me, this bug, or if I, this bug, crush you?”
Lu Yang continued with a cold smile.
“You’re asking for death!”
Zhao Xingkai was instantly enraged. He had been trained in the police department and knew all sorts of grappling techniques. Hearing Lu Yang’s arrogant words, he was already preparing to make a move.
At this moment, a police car was driving towards them.
“Haha, kid, it seems I don’t need to act!”
Zhao Xingkai sneered and retracted his fist. Since the police were arriving, he could get Lu Yang arrested with just a few words.
Lu Yang, however, stood there with a calm and indifferent expression, showing no fear.
