Time ticked by, and Scarface received a constant stream of messages from his underlings.
"Su Cheng and Fu Er entered the nightclub arm in arm..."
"A large group of men and women went into their room. They looked thin and were dressed like they were in the sex trade..."
Upon hearing this, Tiger couldn't help but curse, "Su Cheng still has the mind to play?"
Although Scar didn't express any opinion on the surface, his gaze drifted to the clock hanging in the room, watching the hands slowly approach twelve o'clock.
Five minutes left.
Scarface played with the knife in his hand...
“Scarface, Su Cheng could never—” Tiger couldn’t help but speak up.
Just then, the younger brother opened the door, and there was Su Cheng, shirt collar half-open, carrying a large bag in his right hand, which he slung over his shoulder. He still had that carefree look on his face and swaggered in, walking up to Scarface.
"What, did you hear someone say my name?" He smiled and leaned closer to Tiger. "Was it you? Talking bad about me?"
Then, without waiting for Tiger to refute or for Scarface to try and smooth things over, Su Cheng threw the bag on the ground, whistled at his henchman, and gestured for him to open the bag.
The zipper was unzipped, revealing a bag full of banknotes.
"Wow—" the younger brother exclaimed in astonishment, unable to contain himself. "They've taken them all back! They've really taken them all back, and even more than the original number!"
Even Scarface's pupils dilated in an instant, clearly shocked that Su Cheng had actually completed the task by stepping right on the line.
This was a trap, and Scarface never expected that Su Cheng would actually pull it off.
It was only at this moment that Scarface truly let down his guard against Su Cheng and began to treat him as one of his own.
"Why did you charge extra interest?" Scarface seemed to be scolding him, but in reality, he was quite satisfied with Su Cheng's actions, and he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
Su Cheng, however, did not seek credit and spoke the truth.
“Brother Scar, I strictly followed the rules and didn’t ask for a single penny more than the Second Young Master. Here you go—” Su Cheng even took out a handful of loose change from his pants pocket, including 10-cent and 50-cent coins, and handed it over, “This is the change.”
"Then how come it's more than the original amount collected?" Tiger asked.
“I gambled with the second young master for a few more days. He lost, so shouldn’t we get our money back together?” Su Cheng retorted, his expression saying, “What a stupid question you’re asking.”
"Good, good!" Scarface seemed extremely satisfied.
Thinking back to the messages his underlings had sent back, even he couldn't help but wonder how Su Cheng had managed to spend several days with Young Master Fu and then easily get the money back without drawing blood.
Just a few hours earlier, the two had been hanging out like brothers, arms around each other, having fun.
Scarface didn't believe that it was Fu Ershao who suddenly had a change of heart.
After all, given their background, defaulting on a debt wouldn't be difficult for them. Even so, they could only endure it, watching helplessly as the amount grew larger and larger until it became a bad debt, and then they would be punished by their boss...
"Tell me, how did you get it back?" Scarface offered Su Cheng a seat and asked.
Tiger was still standing.
"Of course we'll be reasonable. It's only right to pay back debts. Young Master Fu isn't an unreasonable person. Once we made things clear, he naturally paid up. It was quite straightforward!" Su Cheng said, pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking it.
There was none of the restraint his underlings showed in front of Scarface.
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
Seven days ago, Su Cheng had just received the task of collecting debts.
Through his contact with his superior, Fu Er was identified as a difficult person to deal with. Based on other information he had overheard, he concluded that the usual methods used to deal with street thugs were ineffective against Fu Er.
Therefore, he analyzed where the weaknesses of people like Fu Er lay.
Su Cheng didn't want Fu Er's life, he just wanted money. However, relying on his family background, Fu Er would never obediently give in, and Su Cheng also had to be wary of retaliation afterward. So he had to find a way to force Fu Er to give him money voluntarily.
Death is not scary; what is scariest is being half-dead and riddled with illnesses, especially those that are incurable.
So for a week, he seemed to go to the casino every night to accompany Fu Erdu, but in reality, he gathered a group of men and women and had them pretend to be sick, the kind of sickness that one would get from frequenting brothels.
On the last night, under the guise of hospitality, they actually carried out threats.
If Fu Er doesn't obediently pay off the debt, Su Cheng will force these men and women to rape him, and Fu Er will also contract the disease. Moreover, Fu Er is not a kind person to begin with; he may escape this time, but he may not be able to escape every time in the future.
It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.
Even if he escapes today, there will be countless opportunities in the future. Can Fu Er be lucky enough to get away every time?
As a result, Su Cheng successfully obtained the money.
That's why I can now stand tall in front of Scarface and gain his trust.
"You little rascal..." Scarface pointed at Su Cheng with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with his performance.
"Scarface, aren't I just being reasonable?"
"Whether to repay or not is the choice of Fu Er. He could have chosen not to repay, but the fact that he did in the end shows that Fu Er is a reasonable person," Su Cheng said.
"What a reasonable argument, haha..."
Through this battle, Su Cheng successfully obtained the ticket to meet Xu Mao.
A few days later, Scarface said he was going to take Su Cheng to meet a big shot, along with some trustworthy people Scarface had recently recruited.
Upon their first meeting, Su Cheng wore a human skin mask and acted like a rookie underling. Once Xu Mao confirmed his identity, he displayed the clumsy and impetuous demeanor of a newcomer.
"Brother! Su Cheng is willing to serve you wholeheartedly, only asking that you take me to see the world and make a lot of money!" Su Cheng said.
"Haha!" Scarface had become increasingly satisfied with Su Cheng recently, and spoke highly of him to Xu Mao, "Brother, this kid seems to act without any method and is impulsive, but he's actually quite clever and a reliable person!"
So the matter of collecting debts was brought up again. Xu Mao's first impression of Su Cheng was that he was unconventional, but also courageous and resourceful.
"Su Cheng, your big brother is the real man who gets things done. Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury and fun! Haha! Tonight I'll take you to broaden your horizons and show you some truly beautiful women!" Scarface said boldly.
Su Cheng: "..."
Looking at pretty women? Oh no...
Although I was anxious inside, I had to put on a show on the surface.
"Women? The ones in nightclubs?" Su Cheng asked, somewhat disgusted, and bluntly stated, "I don't think they're that pretty, and besides, they're dirty!"
"Hahaha……"
Su Cheng's remarks immediately amused Scarface and Xu Mao, who laughed at him for being so naive.
