"What's the bartender's name?"
"His name is Huang Jing."
Su Yang nodded and pulled Sisi's hand.
"Sisi, you go find out where the bartender is. I'll handle things here."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Sisi sighed, never expecting to be so thoroughly betrayed by her own employee.
Su Yang snapped his fingers, and Shen Qiu, who had been waiting outside, walked in.
"Lock him up. He might be useful."
"Yes, boss. What about the others?"
Shen Qiu pointed to the other thugs.
"Do as you please, just make sure the cleanup is thorough!"
Su Yang had no sympathy for these thugs. With hands and feet, they chose to harm others instead of working honestly.
"Heh heh, don't worry, boss. I won't leave a single trace!"
Shen Qiu took out a bottle of liquid and forced a small amount down the throats of the men on the ground.
The next moment.
They clutched their throats, eyes wide, faces flushed red, opening their mouths but unable to speak.
They appeared to be in great pain, yet they did not die.
Su Yang frowned, "What kind of medicine have you concocted now?"
"Boss, this is a special liquid for punishing people. Once taken, the user will be unable to speak for the rest of their life."
Zhao Jia, the scar-faced man, felt his hair stand on end. This liquid was something he absolutely did not want to come into contact with.
"Are there any other interesting liquids? Give this turtle a taste."
Su Yang pointed at the scar-faced man. Zhao Jia's legs went weak, and his crotch instantly became wet, filling the air with a foul odor.
"Boss, this guy is too cowardly. He wet himself before we even started."
Shen Qiu took out several small vials from a box, in various colors, some emitting thick smoke.
At first glance, it was clear they were some kind of poison.
"Mr. Su, I beg you, please don't test your medicine on me..."
Zhao Jia, the scar-faced man, immediately knelt and begged for mercy. To be forced to take poison was far more terrifying than death.
"I can spare your life, but what right do you have to negotiate with me?"
"I, I can help you identify that woman. Yes, as long as I see her, I can definitely hear her voice clearly."
The scar-faced man quickly explained that he could recognize people by their voices.
"Mr. Su, that woman has a very elegant demeanor, is generous, and speaks with a Qingcheng accent. I suspect she must be a young lady from a prominent family in Qingcheng."
"Just give me one chance, and I promise I won't disappoint you!"
Su Yang rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, considering whether to help Sisi further.
This woman seemed to have a significant background as well. Otherwise, why wouldn't the legendary Young Master Tang resort to force and simply take Sisi for himself?
"Hmm, in that case, I'll spare your life for now!"
Su Yang waved his hand, and Shen Qiu led the scar-faced man, Zhao Jia, away.
...
Meanwhile.
After Sisi dealt with the bartender's issue, she went to chat with her good friend Liang Peiqi.
"Peiqi, how did you meet Mr. Su?"
At this moment, Liang Peiqi was unaware of what had happened in the private room.
Liang Peiqi pointed upwards, "I saw him sitting alone and lost in thought up here tonight, so I went up to strike up a conversation. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, he's a good man. You should seize the opportunity."
"A good man? In what way?"
Sisi didn't want to elaborate on the incident in the private room, as it was an embarrassing matter.
"It's a feeling! A woman's intuition is very accurate, just trust me!"
Liang Peiqi nodded, drinking somewhat hazily.
Just then, a few more men approached. Their arms were covered in tattoos, and they wore gold chains.
The leader had a bright green jade thumb ring on his finger, and even his hair was a light green.
"Good, Liang Peiqi, I finally found you!"
When Liang Peiqi saw who it was, her drunkenness vanished, and her face turned pale.
"Brother Green Bean, why are you here?"
"Hmph! You promised to repay the money you owe me yesterday, and you ask me why I'm here?"
"Money? What money?" Sisi looked at her good friend, then at the menacing men.
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a stunning beauty here. It seems I didn't come here in vain!"
Brother Green Bean sized up Sisi. She was even more beautiful than Liang Peiqi, with a voluptuous figure and an indescribable aura.
Liang Peiqi didn't want others to know her affairs. She stood up and tried to push Brother Green Bean out.
"Don't push me! You have to pay me back tonight!"
"Brother Green Bean, I don't have the money right now. Can you give me a couple more days?"
"Hmph! You said the same thing last time. You hid on the cruise ship, making me search for so long. And you still have the nerve to ask for two more days?"
Brother Green Bean grabbed Liang Peiqi's wrist, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Let her go. Let's talk properly. Don't resort to violence!"
Sisi rushed forward and pried Brother Green Bean's hand off.
"Miss, I don't know what your relationship is with her. However, she owes me twenty million, plus five million in interest. Are you sure you want to get involved?"
"So much?"
Sisi was also stunned. Twenty-five million was a lot to come up with.
Liang Peiqi said with a blushing face, "Sisi, don't worry about it. I can handle it myself."
"Peiqi, what exactly did you do? Why do you owe so much money?"
Liang Peiqi lowered her head in silence. Brother Green Bean sneered, "Her family member was ill and needed a large sum for surgery. In total, she borrowed twenty million from me."
Sisi suddenly understood. No wonder Liang Peiqi had seemed like an innocent girl when she first arrived a few days ago.
To make quick money, she came to the bar to find a wealthy man and even learned from Sisi how to attract a sugar daddy.
After a few days of learning, Liang Peiqi set her sights on Su Yang and actively invited him to the bar.
Who would have thought that her creditors would show up at this time?
"That's not right. She borrowed twenty million, and you want five million in interest? What kind of interest is that? Are you robbing people?"
Sisi calculated. The interest was a quarter of the principal, which was equivalent to a 25% rate.
"Hmph! So what if it's robbery? It's all written down in black and white, and she agreed to it before I lent her the money!"
Brother Green Bean pulled out a contract, which detailed the date of the loan, the amount, the repayment date, and the terms.
Therefore, Brother Green Bean was not afraid that Liang Peiqi would deny the debt.
Sisi clenched her fists tightly. If she had just met Liang Peiqi, she might not have helped.
However, Liang Peiqi borrowed the money to save her family.
Secondly, without Liang Peiqi, Sisi would not have met Su Yang, and tonight's events might not have been resolved so smoothly.
After much thought, Sisi decided to help Liang Peiqi.
"Brother, could you please wait two days? I'm waiting for my goods to arrive, and I don't have that much money right now!"
Seeing that Sisi was willing to help her, Liang Peiqi was both surprised and delighted.
"Sister Si, that money is your bar's operating capital. You absolutely cannot touch it!"
"If I don't use it, then they'll take you away, and you know the consequences."
Sisi sighed. A woman borrowing at such high interest rates, and such a large amount.
If she couldn't repay it, there was a high chance she would be forced into debt bondage.
At that point, Liang Peiqi's future would be bleak.
Brother Green Bean sneered, "If you want to pay for her, fine. Twenty-five million, and I'll leave as soon as I get the money!"
"I have ten million now. I'll give you the rest in two days?"
"Ten million? That's barely enough for the interest!"
Brother Green Bean extended his hand, signaling Sisi to hand over her bank card.
Sisi gritted her teeth. These people were price gouging, demanding ten million in interest.
This meant that in two days, she and Liang Peiqi would still have to pay back the twenty million principal.
Liang Peiqi shook her head, "Sister Si, you don't need to worry about me. This money cannot be used!"
"Damn it! You stubborn bitch, are you looking for death?"
Brother Green Bean roared impatiently and raised his hand to slap her.
"Her money, I'll pay it back for her!"
