Lao San's idea was good, but Qin Hanchu's identity information was forged.
According to the Enforcement Bureau's records, Qin Hanchu was just an ordinary overseas returnee.
At half-past six in the evening, Qiu Shao and his two companions arrived at the Huihai Grand Hotel.
Not long after the three were seated, Tang Haiyi entered the private room accompanied by his subordinates.
"Brother Tang, why didn't you call ahead? We brothers could have come down to welcome you." Upon seeing Tang Haiyi enter, Qiu Shao and the other two quickly stood up to greet him.
Tang Haiyi smiled and said, "We're old acquaintances, no need to be so formal."
Under the greetings of Qiu Shao and the other two, Tang Haiyi sat down with his confidantes. "Xiao Qiu, what is it you've invited me here for?"
"We have something we'd like Brother Tang to help us with," Qiu Shao said a little sheepishly.
Tang Haiyi took a sip of tea. "Tell me about it."
"We three were swindled out of thirty million, and we'd like you to help us get the money back."
"As long as Brother Tang can lend us a few people, we're willing to offer two million as a reward."
As he spoke, Qiu Shao stood up and poured Tang Haiyi some tea.
Tang Haiyi calmly asked, "What's the background of the other party?"
"We checked. They don't have any background."
In the eyes of Qiu Shao and his two companions, Qin Hanchu was a conman.
The so-called two hundred million deposit was merely bait used by Qin Hanchu to lure them into a bet.
"Alright, I'll lend you ten people."
"Besides my reward, you can't forget the travel expenses for my brothers," Tang Haiyi said, picking up his teacup.
Qiu Shao immediately nodded. "As long as it's successful, I'll give each of these ten brothers fifty thousand for travel expenses!"
Tang Haiyi nodded. "Mm, alright."
"Thank you for your help, Brother Tang. We'll toast you." Qiu Shao first poured Tang Haiyi a glass of wine, then raised his own cup.
Just as Tang Haiyi was about to pick up his cup, his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, he quickly answered. "Boss, what are your orders?"
"Where are you?" The call was from Qin Hanchu.
Tang Haiyi quickly replied, "I'm at the Huihai Grand Hotel."
"Wait for me, I'll come find you." Qin Hanchu then hung up.
Qiu Shao and his two companions looked at Tang Haiyi in surprise. Who was on the phone that made Tang Haiyi so respectful?
"My boss will be here shortly. Don't offend him."
In the past, Tang Haiyi was reluctant to let others know he was Qin Hanchu's subordinate.
However, after the "mad dog" incident, Tang Haiyi's mindset underwent a complete transformation.
He was now proud to have Qin Hanchu as his boss.
With Qin Hanchu as his backer, his status in Fengcheng would be very stable.
"Brother Tang, who is worthy of being your boss?" Although Qiu Shao's family was well-off, his father was at best an equal acquaintance of Tang Haiyi.
Someone Tang Haiyi would call boss must be a top figure in Fengcheng.
"You'll know when he arrives. Don't say anything out of line then," Tang Haiyi said in a deep voice.
About half an hour later, Qin Hanchu entered, led by a server.
"It's you!"
"What a coincidence, running into an old enemy!"
"Brat, you have guts to come in here!"
Upon seeing Qin Hanchu, Qiu Shao and his two companions stood up with surprise and joy.
It was truly a case of seeking something everywhere and finding it without effort.
They never imagined that Qin Hanchu was Tang Haiyi's boss.
The three thought Qin Hanchu had entered the wrong room by mistake.
Seeing the three shouting curses at Qin Hanchu, Tang Haiyi was greatly alarmed.
He had realized that the conman they were talking about was Qin Hanchu.
"Shut up!" Tang Haiyi yelled at Qiu Shao and the other two. "How dare you speak to my boss like that? Are you tired of living!"
"Wh...what?"
"He's... he's your boss?"
"How is that possible?"
Qiu Shao and the other two were stunned!
They couldn't believe their ears.
How could Qin Hanchu be Tang Haiyi's boss?
They had expected Tang Haiyi's boss to be a high-ranking figure, but they never thought it would be Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu was so young; how could he be Tang Haiyi's boss?
As they were in shock, Qin Hanchu walked in with a smile. "You three are here too. What a coincidence."
"Boss, this..." Tang Haiyi wanted to distance himself from the trio, lest Qin Hanchu take his anger out on him.
Before Tang Haiyi could finish, Qin Hanchu handed him a loan agreement and an IOU. "These two owe me sixteen million. You go and collect this debt."
Tang Haiyi quickly took the IOU. "Yes, I will handle this matter properly."
"I came to find you for this very reason. You can get busy now."
Tang Haiyi quickly said, "Boss, let me treat you to a meal."
"No need, I've already eaten."
Under Tang Haiyi's gaze, Qin Hanchu left the hotel's private room.
Looking at the IOU in his hand, Tang Haiyi's gaze fell upon Qiu Shao and the other two. "Whom did you choose to offend? You had to offend him."
"Brother Tang, what... what's going on?"
"What qualifications does he have to be your boss?"
Qiu Shao still found it hard to believe. Qin Hanchu was just an ordinary person; how could he be Tang Haiyi's boss?
Tang Haiyi was now the most powerful underground figure in Fengcheng. While his wealth might not match that of top families, his methods could make top families very wary.
"His power is beyond your comprehension."
"Hurry up and hand over the debt to me, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Oh, and be polite to my boss when you see him in the future."
"If he gets angry, even your fathers can't save you."
Tang Haiyi's attitude towards the trio turned cold.
Their defiance of Qin Hanchu was equivalent to their defiance of him.
"This..."
The three had intended to ask Tang Haiyi to help them recover their money, but they never expected Qin Hanchu to be Tang Haiyi's boss.
Although they didn't know Qin Hanchu's true identity, the fact that Tang Haiyi was willing to serve him meant that Qiu Shao and the other two couldn't afford to cross him.
Qing Nian and Lao San were close to tears. Now, they could only go home and ask for the money.
If they didn't pay, Tang Haiyi would surely bring people to their homes.
...
The next morning, Qin Hanchu was leisurely lying on a lounge chair, basking in the sun.
Looking at the azure sky, a thoughtful expression flickered in his eyes.
This sky, though seemingly real, was in fact an illusion.
It was like a vast net, trapping the beings of the Divine Relic Continent.
Although Qin Hanchu had reached the True God realm, it was still difficult to break free from this net.
Unless he used the physical body of Pangu the Progenitor.
Pangu's body was Qin Hanchu's trump card, and he was reluctant to reveal it unless absolutely necessary.
As Qin Hanchu pondered, the villa's doorbell rang.
A moment later, Qin Hanchu walked to the door and opened it.
"Mr. Qin, this is Ms. Chen, the CEO of Tianfu Flavor," Fang Jianbo introduced a beautiful woman standing beside him to Qin Hanchu.
"Hello, Mr. Qin." Ms. Chen, who appeared to be around thirty-five, smiled and extended her hand to Qin Hanchu.
