Chapter 580 An Unexpected Benefactor
"Let me go, let me go..."
Niu Yi didn't know who had tied him up, so he could only keep struggling.
He felt as if he was being pulled along for a long time, the path under his feet changing from pebbles to muddy ground with gravel, and finally to soft grass.
"What are you trying to do? Kidnapping someone in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of the authorities?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed away by a force and fell to the ground.
Before Niu Yi could react, he immediately felt someone press down on him, and someone even moved his hand forward a few inches and pressed down on his wrist.
At this moment, Niu Yi finally realized what was happening.
"Leopard...Master Leopard, please, don't chop off my hand! I'm on my way to raise money!"
The only response from Niuyi was the sound of sharpening knives; there was no reply.
Hearing the sound of sharpening knives, Niu Yi trembled with fear, even his hand, which was being held down, was shaking slightly.
"Brother Leopard, really, I'm not lying to you, I really will pay it back, I promise! Please give me a few more days, I won't exchange the money anymore, I'll even pay extra interest, please, don't chop off my hand..."
Niu Yi cried out in a trembling voice, tears streaming down his face and dripping onto the burlap sack.
His breath made the burlap sack hot and uncomfortable.
No matter how much he begged for mercy, the other party remained unmoved, and the only response he received was the sound of sharpening a knife.
"Master Leopard, our manager has agreed to let me put the pastries I've been researching on the shelves... She's very rich. Once the pastries are on the shelves, I'll get a lot of money, and I can pay you back, really..."
Niuyi is roaring.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else; lies just came out of his mouth. He only wanted to save his hand; he would deal with the rest later.
Just then, the sound of sharpening the knife stopped.
Niu Yi dared not breathe, his body trembling violently. If anyone were to stimulate him again at this moment, he would probably urinate.
Immediately afterwards, the burlap sack on his head was untied.
Niu Yi broke free of the burlap sack, panting heavily.
He was so frustrated!
Immediately afterwards, a man with a mole on his face appeared in front of Niu Yi.
Niu Yi recognized this man; everyone called him Liu the Weasel. He was Leopard's henchman, specializing in debt collection, and his methods were ruthless.
There is no debt that cannot be recovered under his management.
Before he could take a closer look, Liu Weizi suddenly stepped on his shoulder.
"Don't think I don't know; it would be a miracle if that woman lent it to you!"
Because the people who were holding Niu Yi let go, Niu Yi had only risen a little bit when Liu Weizi stomped him down again, and he took a bite of the soil on the ground.
"Ptooey, ptooey!" Niu Yi quickly spat out a few mouthfuls of dirt.
After Liu Weizi stomped on the person on the ground, he didn't press down further and just tilted his head to look at the person on the ground.
Niu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, trembling, and said, "Xinglong Restaurant needs me right now. Give me two more days, and I will definitely get the money."
Liu Weizi stroked the blade, looking at the person lying on the ground, "Really?"
Seeing that there was room for negotiation, Niu Yi didn't care about the consequences and focused on saving his life. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Really, really, you believe me, I will definitely pay you back with interest!"
Liu Weizi bent down and planted the knife a few inches in front of Niu Yi.
Niu Yi screamed in terror and struggled incessantly, but he was pinned down by Liu Weizi and could not move.
At this moment, Liu Weizi said unhurriedly, "Then let me collect the interest first?"
As he spoke, he called over two men, pulled out Niu Yi's left hand, and pressed it straight to the ground.
"No, no, really, I can really pay you back. I know what the shopkeeper is most worried about right now. I have a way to get her to put the pastries on the shelves. She'll definitely make money... Once she makes money, I'll give you double... Please don't chop off my hand, please..."
Niu Yi was so frightened that he became incoherent and blurted out all sorts of things.
Despite countless pleas, he was still doomed, watching the blade draw ever closer to his hand.
Fear, panic, and resentment surged into my heart.
It's all Wan Qiqi's fault. If she hadn't stood by and watched someone die, this would have happened.
Everyone praises his new desserts, so why doesn't he put them on the shelves for sale?
Why can't we get advance payments for workers? Other restaurants have done it before.
He was so humble, why was Wan Qiqi still unmoved?
For a time, Niu Yi placed all his resentment on Wan Qiqi, feeling that she was the culprit who caused the current situation.
He even forgot that it was his gambling that led to this disaster.
"Who is committing violence here?"
The knife, which should have fallen, was interrupted by a shout and landed an inch away from the finger.
Niu Yi felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. Seeing the knife fall, his hand still intact, he collapsed to the ground, barely alive, as if he had lost half his life.
"Who are you?" Liu Weizi frowned as he looked at the person approaching, his tone unfriendly.
"Who I am is unimportant. You commit violence in broad daylight. Do you even respect the government?" The middle-aged man who approached them angrily rebuked the group, seemingly unafraid.
Liu Weizi chuckled coldly twice. "Paying back debts is a matter of course. What? You're going to help him?"
He turned his head and looked at the cattle on the ground.
When Niu Yi heard that someone was helping him, he seemed to see hope and looked up at the person.
Then, he stood still.
He recognized the man; it was He Feiyi, the owner of Zuijianglou!
He Feiyi took out a silver ingot and tossed it to Liu Weizi, saying, "Even if he owes you money, you shouldn't have cut off his hand. If he loses his hand, how will he earn money and pay you back?"
Liu Weizi tossed the silver in the air, took a bite to confirm its authenticity, and then turned to Niu Yi, saying, "Hmph, consider yourself lucky to have someone help you. I'll give you ten more days, and twenty taels of silver, not a penny less, otherwise..."
