Therefore, Luo Wei also spoke very sincerely and frankly to Lin Huowang:
"Mr. Lin! I have to tell you the truth! My lousy company... is just a pile of bad debts! It's worthless! Not only is it worthless... but it's also... drowning in debt!"
The loan sharks outside... with interest, it's snowballing... nearly... nearly five million Hong Kong dollars!
Just look at Brother Biao... oh no, Sang Biao's... the initial principal was two million... now with compound interest... it's already... already three and a half million!
All the other miscellaneous debts added up... sigh! If only you, Kobayashi... could help me pay off all these debts... I, Luo Wei... would do anything for you, without hesitation!
After saying these words, Luo Wei seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
He was trembling all over and could barely stand, relying entirely on Chan Kong-sang for support.
He didn't dare look Lin Huowang in the eye. In fact, he knew that if he were facing an ordinary boss, he should hide the extent of the company's debt. Being so frank about the company's huge debts would immediately scare away potential buyers.
But the person in front of me is Kobayashi Tenno!
How could I possibly have the guts to lie to him? It would be better to be honest and tell him about the company's terrible financial situation.
Even if Kobayashi decides not to acquire it after consideration, it would at least win Kobayashi's favor.
Just as Luo Wei was anxiously waiting for Lin Huowang's answer, Sang Biao, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and dared not raise his head, suddenly raised his head!
His face, which had been so fierce just moments before, now flashed with a look of relief.
Because he knew that his chance to escape had come.
He immediately crawled up to the two men, smiling obsequiously at Lin Huowang and Luo Wei, and said:
"Mr. Lin! Mr. Luo! It's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! It's all my fault! It's all my fault for being so blind! I was so blind! If only I had known earlier... if only I had known that you, Mr. Lin, had your eye on Mr. Luo's company!"
I... I'm too busy making offerings for you! How could I dare to show the slightest disrespect to Luo Sheng? I'll treat him with utmost respect, like a god of wealth!
Mr. Luo! I was very rude to you earlier! Please forgive me! It was all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!
That little bit of interest... what's that? Bullshit! I, Sang Biao, am saying this right now! Not a single penny of interest! Consider it an apology to Luo Sheng and Xiao Lin Sheng! Really! As long as... as long as I can get back my pitiful principal...
Two million! Two million it is! I, Sang Biao, will get out of here right now! No questions asked! Mr. Lin, what do you think... is that alright?
Sang Biao was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, he would not have another chance to speak, so he spoke at a speed like a machine gun. Then he stared at Lin Huowang expectantly, not daring to breathe, his whole body covered in cold sweat, waiting for Lin Huowang's "judgment".
Yes!
Sang Biao, a small-time gang leader, appears very powerful in public. He bullies and oppresses men and women, and leads a group of henchmen. Taking over territory and committing violence are commonplace for him.
However, in front of Lin Huowang, he was no different from a dog.
Seeing that he was so sensible, Lin Huowang first sneered, then his face remained expressionless as he merely glanced at Sang Biao.
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Huowang casually pulled out a checkbook and a gold pen from his suit pocket, and with a few quick strokes, tore off a check.
"Take it. It's all settled!"
Lin Huowang handed over the check.
Sang Biao glanced quickly at the number on it: two million Hong Kong dollars!
That's right! It's exactly the amount of principal he lent to Luo Wei back then!
Instantly, he felt a surge of joy, and at the same time, an indescribable sense of relief made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Xiaolin! Thank you, Xiaolin, for your mercy! Thank you, Xiaolin, for your magnanimity! Don't worry, Xiaolin! From now on, Luo Sheng is my brother! If I dare to lay a finger on Luo Sheng again, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Kobayashi, you're busy! You're busy! We'll get out of here right now! We'll get out immediately!
He swore incoherently while frantically giving his men meaningful glances.
The seven or eight thugs only then seemed to wake up from their daze and quickly helped Sang Biao, whose legs were still a little weak, to his feet.
Then, like stray dogs, the group scrambled and stumbled towards the dilapidated van by the roadside without looking back, opened the door, and squeezed in in a disheveled state.
"Wow! Xiao Linsheng chased away Sang Biao's gang!"
"Wait a minute...did Xiaolin just give money? I saw him write a check to Sang Biao, is that to pay off Luo Wei's debt?"
"It's so great to be rich! You carry a checkbook with you and just swipe it a few times to hand out millions."
"A few million is nothing to Xiao Linsheng, it's just like a few dollars to us."
"Haha! That guy Sang Biao acts all high and mighty in front of us, but when it comes to Xiao Linsheng, he's like a dog, not daring to utter a sound. Seeing him run away like that is really satisfying!"
...
The neighbors who were watching the spectacle couldn't help but sigh at the sight.
Amidst the laughter, Sang Biao's dilapidated van sped out of the street corner as if fleeing for its life, as if afraid of being called back if it was too slow.
Inside the car, Sang Biao slumped in the passenger seat, his back completely soaked in cold sweat, sticking stickily to the cheap artificial leather seat.
A narrow escape!
I really escaped with my life!
