Zhu Dashao and the others were stunned, watching Yang Haibo, who had been thrown into the swamp, unsure of what to do.
"Are you fucking crazy!" Liu Dashao roared. "You rescued the person, and now you've sent him back!"
Gu Wen and the others stood by, instantly feeling better, and even more impressed with Lu Fan, whose actions were indeed decisive.
It was one thing that these people showed no gratitude, but they repaid kindness with enmity, and they deserved such treatment.
"You all made it clear earlier that you didn't need my help, so I naturally sent him back as he was," Lu Fan shrugged, and then walked forward. "It's getting dark, let's hurry on our way!"
"Okay!" Shen Xiaoxiao quickly nodded, quite pleased, believing this was the right way to deal with such people.
"You can't leave!" Zhu Dashao stepped forward. "You have to save him before you can leave!"
"Didn't he just say he didn't need our help?" Han Yunhai sneered. "Or has he changed his mind now?"
"Do you know who we are?" Zhu Dashao said with displeasure. "In all of Chuzhou, no one dares to be so arrogant towards us. I advise you not to make enemies of us!"
"We naturally won't make enemies of you!" Lu Fan smiled and nodded. "You take your broad highway, and we'll take our single-plank bridge."
"Stop quibbling!" Zhu Dashao, along with a few bodyguards, blocked Lu Fan. "If you don't save him, none of you will leave."
"Do you think these few people can stop us?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Young man, you should think carefully. Otherwise, you'll fall into the swamp too, and it'll be another life lost."
Zhu Dashao was taken aback and immediately realized that Lu Fan, who could throw Yang Haibo into the swamp, could also throw him in. If that happened, wouldn't it be a case of losing more than gaining?
"Save me, save me quickly!" Yang Haibo panicked. If Lu Fan hadn't intervened earlier, he wouldn't have been rescued at all. Now, falling into the swamp again, he was at great risk.
"Don't worry, we won't save you!" Gu Wen said. "Stop fantasizing!"
Yang Haibo's face turned ashen. He had never felt so humiliated, but he couldn't maintain his arrogance now. If Lu Fan didn't help, he would surely perish here today.
"I was wrong before. Please, brothers, don't hold it against me," Yang Haibo apologized quickly. "After all, people make mistakes."
Lu Fan ignored him and continued to walk forward. Zhu Dashao didn't dare to stop him. A master like Lu Fan was not someone those bodyguards could handle.
Yang Haibo was instantly flustered and shouted, "As long as you can save me, I'll give you ten million! How about ten million?"
Lu Fan remained unfazed, showing no intention of stopping. Ten million was nothing to him, let alone Yang Haibo's demeanor.
"How about a hundred million! A hundred million!" Yang Haibo raised his offer again. If Lu Fan left, he would have no means of dealing with the situation.
"That's not a bad idea!" Lu Fan stopped and looked at Yang Haibo. "Are you sure you want to pay a hundred million?"
"Yes, life is priceless!" Yang Haibo quickly said. "As long as you can get me out, it's no problem at all!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, quite satisfied. Yang Haibo's willingness to offer a hundred million surprised him, but he didn't know what Yang Haibo was thinking.
"A hundred million?" Zhu Dashao was stunned. "Has he gone mad? Even if all of the Yang family's assets were combined, they probably wouldn't reach a hundred million. Wouldn't that be depleting their entire fortune!"
"Are you an idiot? Who is Young Master Yang? How could he possibly have that much money?" Liu Dashao narrowed his eyes. "I think Young Master Yang is probably just stringing him along."
"That probably isn't a good idea. These people look difficult to deal with," Zhu Dashao said quickly. "If this backfires, won't it make us a laughingstock?"
"It's a matter of life and death, no need to worry about so much," Liu Dashao glanced over. "That kid threatened Young Master Yang. Once we get back to Chuzhou, Young Master Yang won't let him off easily."
Zhu Dashao stood aside, feeling even more awkward. If that were the case, wouldn't it be too immoral? After all, Lu Fan had agreed to help, but Yang Haibo had such thoughts.
As they were talking, Yang Haibo had already been pulled out, covered in dirt and emitting a foul odor.
"You owe me a hundred million. When we get back to Chuzhou, I'll personally visit the Yang family!" Lu Fan said with a faint smile. "There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"Of course, there's no problem. I've agreed to it, and I will definitely honor it," Yang Haibo said solemnly.
Lu Fan nodded. "I hope you keep your promise. If you try any tricks with me, you'll be the one to suffer!"
"Never, never!"
Yang Haibo quickly curried favor, looking quite obsequious. He knew Lu Fan was no ordinary person, or he wouldn't be like this.
Lu Fan said no more and left with the others. They had different paths, and thus could not walk together. These people were not on the same path as them, so they would naturally not travel with them.
After Lu Fan and his group left, Zhu Dashao stepped forward and said, "Are you alright? Owing a hundred million for no reason, how will you explain it when you get back!"
"Are you joking with me?" Yang Haibo gave him a sidelong glance. "The Yang family's assets are barely a hundred million. How could I hand it over so easily!"
"That's right," Liu Dashao nodded slightly. "Without any evidence, why would he say Young Master Yang owes him a hundred million? When we get back to Chuzhou, we can just deny it!"
"Not only will I not acknowledge this debt, but I will also make him pay when we get back to Chuzhou," Yang Haibo said coldly. "I have never suffered such humiliation!"
"Young Master Yang, what do you plan to do to him when you get back to Chuzhou?" Liu Dashao frowned. "I think it's better to avoid trouble. As long as he doesn't come to collect the debt, let's just let it go!"
"Am I, Yang Haibo, someone to be bullied so easily?" Yang Haibo said coldly. "They are so arrogant, how can I let him off easily!"
Liu Dashao said nothing more but felt a bit worried. Lu Fan and his group probably weren't ordinary people. Offending them easily might not be a good thing.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Xiaoxiao approached Lu Fan. "Mr. Lu, is a hundred million really possible? If it were ten million, it might be more understandable. At least we could get a million, right!" Su Dan Novel Network
"A hundred million, not a cent less!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "I'm not joking."
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned and became somewhat awkward. She had never imagined that Lu Fan would be so assertive, as if he were sure to get that hundred million.
In fact, she didn't know that Lu Fan had always been a person who said what he meant and did what he said. Since Yang Haibo had agreed, how could he go back on his word?
