Regarding Zhou Chen's 'glorious deeds,' as recounted by his underlings,
Tiger Brother then gained some understanding and was greatly surprised that there was such a talented high school student in Fanjia County.
At such a young age, he has already expanded his business to the city, and even the TV station has reported on it.
"It seems I'm ignorant; this Zhou Chen is quite a talent."
Tiger nodded.
Since Zhou Chen is Zhou Ling's older brother, there's no need to worry about Zhao Kun not repaying the money he lent him. With such a powerful brother-in-law, the 300,000 yuan will be easily repaid.
At worst, we can ask Zhou Chen for it. Zhou Ling is his younger sister, so as her brother, he has to take some responsibility.
"Hurry up and let him go."
Tiger suddenly yelled at the men holding Zhao Kun, then quickly walked up to Zhao Kun, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother Kun, look at the mess this has made. You have such a powerful brother-in-law, why didn't you say so earlier? I would love to be friends with someone as capable as your brother-in-law. It's okay if you can't pay the interest today, we're good brothers, I'll give you some more time."
Zhao Kun's expression was quite interesting. However, seeing Tiger Brother's sudden 180-degree change in attitude, especially his willingness to give him more time, was a good thing for Zhao Kun.
"Thank you, Brother Tiger. Don't worry, Brother Tiger, I will definitely pay back the money with interest."
Zhao Kun expressed his opinion with a smile.
"No rush, no rush. I was a bit rude today, please don't take offense." Tiger had just been calling Zhao Kun by his full name, but now he was calling him "Brother Kun" all the time.
Zhao Kun understood why Tiger treated him this way—it was because of Zhou Chen. Thinking of this, he felt a surge of displeasure, because the person he hated the most was Zhou Chen. He never expected that Zhou Chen would help him today, but he wouldn't feel grateful to Zhou Chen for it.
He still remembers the humiliation Zhou Chen brought him.
However, he certainly couldn't tell Tiger about these things. Tiger clearly didn't know the relationship between his family and Zhou Chen. Today, he was just using Zhou Chen's name to bully Tiger.
"Brother Kun, I wonder if your brother-in-law would like to play cards? If you can get him over to play a few rounds, I'll waive the interest."
Tiger said with a big smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun was taken aback at first, but then he understood Tiger's purpose: to get Zhou Chen to participate in gambling and lose more, just like him.
After all, Zhou Chen was richer than him, which is why Tiger Brother instantly changed his attitude and became amiable again.
“My brother-in-law rarely plays cards, but I’ve mentioned it to him a few times before, and he’s shown some interest. If you can really waive the interest for me, I’ll try my best to bring him over so we can play a few rounds together.”
Zhao Kun said with a smile.
Tiger was very pleased to hear this.
He did want to get some money out of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was so young, yet he ran such a big business. If he got addicted to gambling, wouldn't all the money he earned go to him?
Considering this relationship, Tiger Brother found Zhao Kun increasingly agreeable.
"Okay, then I'll prepare the game and give Brother Kun three days. I'm sure Brother Kun will be able to bring the person here, right?"
Tiger revealed his smiling tiger demeanor, his laughter carrying a subtle threat.
"Of course, I'll definitely bring it." Zhao Kun nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Brother Kun."
Tiger nodded, then waved and led his gang of underlings away.
Bang!
As the door closed, Zhao Kun let out a long breath, leaned against the wall, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If he had really been taken away by Brother Hu, it definitely wouldn't have been a good thing.
Fortunately, Zhou Ling was quick-witted and helped him escape danger.
"Honey, thank you."
Zhao Kun hugged Zhou Ling tightly. The sight of Zhou Ling protecting him just now made him feel even more ashamed. He felt guilty towards Zhou Ling, and at the same time, he saw what it meant to see true friendship in times of trouble.
"Brother Kun, if Brother Hu knew that our relationship with Zhou Chen wasn't what he imagined, that I wasn't his biological sister, and that we had cut ties with him, he would be furious. Let's think about what to do next."
Zhou Ling didn't have time to dwell on Zhao Kun's gambling and losing 300,000 yuan, because Tiger Brother's discovery that they were lying was the most serious consequence for them.
"Wife, you're right."
Zhao Kun also realized the seriousness of the matter. Given Tiger's character, if he found out he had been deceived, he would skin him alive and make him wish he were dead.
Besides, could he really take Zhou Chen to play cards?
Zhou Chen wouldn't even acknowledge him.
Not to mention going gambling with him, what a joke!
So, the only thing to do right now is to run away, the farther the better, so that Tiger can't find us, and then we won't have to pay back the money we borrowed.
"Pack your things immediately, we're leaving Fanjia County."
Zhao Kun suddenly said.
Leaving Fanjia County?
Zhou Ling was stunned; she had never thought about this question before.
“We have no choice now. If we don’t leave now, Tiger will never forgive me once he finds out the truth.”
"We must leave here to survive."
Zhao Kun's face was serious.
"But my second sister and fourth brother are still in Fanjia County. If we leave..."
Zhou Ling was particularly conflicted; she didn't want to leave, and she didn't want to implicate Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan.
“Wife, you don’t need to worry about them. The grievances have their source and the debts have their debtors. It was me who borrowed the money. Tiger dares to go after Second Sister and Fourth Brother. They can call the police and they’ll be fine, but we can’t. Do you want to see me missing an arm or a leg?”
Zhao Kun advised.
Zhou Ling hesitated for a moment, then decided to listen to Zhao Kun. Since she had married Zhao Kun, she had no choice but to follow his lead.
"Brother Kun, we have to bring Mom and Dad along, otherwise Brother Hu will definitely ask them for money."
Zhou Ling reminded her.
Zhao Kun nodded and said, "Of course we have to bring our parents. Half of our compensation money is with them. Without our parents, we wouldn't even have a place to live."
“I’ll call my parents now,” Zhou Ling said. However, thinking about her terrible relationship with Old Mrs. Zhao, she handed the phone to Zhao Kun and asked him to speak to her.
The couple began packing their things, preparing to flee Fanjia County overnight and go to a place where Tiger Brother couldn't find them.
at the same time,
In a smoke-filled room, Tiger sat with his legs crossed, chatting with three mahjong partners about Zhou Chen.
He wanted to know exactly how much money Zhou Chen had and how to get Zhou Chen involved.
Zhao Kun has hundreds of thousands of yuan in demolition compensation. He could make a fortune by swindling someone, but even that wouldn't compare to swindling someone like Zhou Chen who is a businessman. Especially since Zhou Chen is worth millions and is much richer than Zhao Kun. If he could win all of Zhou Chen's money, he wouldn't necessarily be worry-free in the future, but at least he could eat his fill for several years without having to work.
