Chapter 37: Compensation for Losses (Seeking Collections)

  "Rich brothers, spare me where you can, and I'll let bygones be bygones. If you let me off today, we'll wipe the slate clean of all past grievances, how about it?"

  As for martial arts skills, Yang Xi Tian was far inferior to the four great evil wolves under him, but the four great evil wolves were all knocked to the ground by the ferocious second wolf. Zhang Fuhans martial arts skills were much more formidable than those of the ferocious second wolf, so when facing him, Yang Xi Tian couldn't even muster a hint of resistance and changed his previously arrogant tone to humbly beg for mercy from Zhang Fuhan.

  "Hmph! If you were the winner today, would you let us off?" The fierce wolf with a grudge against Yang Xiao Tian walked over and answered before Zhang Fu Han could.

  The ferocious wolf's words left Yang Xiao Tian speechless, stunned in place. Because before this, he had never thought that he would lose to these people, and in all his years on the path, when had he ever shown kindness or spared anyone?

  "Never mind, never mind, what's the point of not letting go? Are you going to beat him up again?" Zhang Fugui, this kind old man, who was always uninterested in these violent affairs, walked over and advised.

  "Thank you, Boss Zhang! You're really a good person, Boss Zhang! You're truly a great philanthropist......"

  At this moment, Zhang Fugui was more dear to Yang Xiaotian than his own father. After hearing him say a fair word, Yang Xiaotian was grateful and thanked him profusely, with endless words of gratitude pouring out of his mouth as he flattered Zhang Fugui excessively. It wasn't hard to see that everyone present, including Chen Li, had great respect for Zhang Fugui. If Zhang Fugui could say a few more good things on his behalf, perhaps the severe beating Yang Xiaotian was due to receive tonight might be avoided.

  "Li'er, look at this?" Zhang Fugui threw a questioning glance at Chen Li.

  Because in Zhang Fugui's eyes, Yang Xiao Tian is also a big shot in Weidong County. In Weidong County, whether it's the underworld or the officialdom, he has some influence. This can be seen from the fact that the police at the Xiguan Police Station have not taken action against him so far. If they were to offend him too much and create an irreconcilable feud between them, it would inevitably bring great trouble to both sides in the future. If they could take this opportunity to resolve their grievances, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

  As for Zhang Fugui's thoughts, Chen Li couldn't help but understand, but he didn't know that for these ruthless and cunning people, only great power and iron-fisted means could make them feel awe, let alone these small favors, after the matter passed, they would quickly throw them aside, and this benefactor, in their eyes, was just a weak and timid master. In the future, if there was an opportunity, they might even bully him more fiercely!

  "Considering my brother's face, I can spare you this time! However, who will bear the loss of our noodle shop tonight? And how are we supposed to do business in the future if you three keep causing trouble every now and then?" To alleviate Zhang Fugui's worries, Chen Li decided to temporarily let Yang Xiaotian off, but he couldn't just let him go that easily. At least, he had to make him compensate for the loss before leaving.

  "That's right, you've delayed our business and also affected the reputation of our noodle shop. You must bear this loss!" Zhang Fuhans even more so, shouting loudly in agreement;

  "Yang Xiao Tian, if you don't give us an explanation today, you'll end up the same as them!" Meng Lang threatened, pointing at the Wild Wolf Gang members lying scattered on the ground.

  "I'm willing to compensate, isn't that enough?!" Yang Xiao Tian replied with a sweat-drenched face;

  "A bowl of beef noodles for four bucks, we can sell about a thousand bowls every day. With you causing trouble like this, our business will at least be cut in half for three to six days. Calculating at two thousand yuan per day, the loss is between six thousand and twelve thousand. Adding today's losses, I'll just take ten thousand yuan from you!" Chen Li pretended to calculate carefully, reluctantly reporting a number he thought was relatively small.

  When Chen Li's numbers came out, Zhang Fugui and his wife were shocked, both of them staring at Chen Li as if they didn't know him, thinking to themselves that Chen Li was too ruthless. Their small beef noodle shop only made a few thousand yuan a month, but Chen Li had disrupted their business for just one night and was asking for 10,000 yuan in compensation, which seemed too harsh. However, it was fortunate that Chen Li was only ruthless towards bad people, but extremely kind to his own family...

  Li Ge is really too handsome! Even if he cheats people out of their money, he can still be considered a leader, and following such a boss will definitely lead to a bright future!

  The two fierce wolves reacted in stark contrast to Zhang Fugui and his wife, who looked at Chen Li with a face full of reverence, filled with confidence for their own future.

  It's really the rear waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves! The brothers in the Wolf Association can only make a fortune by following Li Er Brothers! Li Er Brothers' ability and means, I Zhang Fuhuan truly cannot keep up with them even if I were to flatter them! Even being his subordinate wouldn't be humiliating for me!

  Zhang Fuhans was impressed by Chen Li's means in this situation, and finally put down his big brother's airs, secretly thinking if he should also follow Chen Li around like the two fierce wolves, becoming his little follower.

  At this moment, even if Yang Xiao Tian had a hundred unwillingness in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. It was just that the 10,000 yuan cash, no one would casually carry it with them, especially someone like Yang Xiao Tian, who didn't need to spend money in Weidong County.

  "This ten thousand yuan is no problem, but I don't have it on me now?" Yang Xiao Tian said to Zhang Fu Gui with a bitter face.

  In his opinion, Zhang Fu Gui and his wife were the only good people in this scene. All the others were either thugs or robbers, especially that young man who asked for 10,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. Isn't that robbery? I've mixed with the underworld, it's not easy to earn 10,000 yuan in this broken place of Wei Dong County! And this matter may not be settled even with 10,000 yuan. What if that black-clothed female evil star comes to ask for protection fees, won't I have to take out another 10,000 yuan? What kind of world is this?

  "If we let you go, will you still obediently send money back? Your character, Yang Xiao Tian, is not worthy of our trust!" The fierce wolf said sinisterly on the side.

  "Well, in that case, go ahead and call up all those brothers of yours who are pretending to be dead on the ground, let them help you make up for it!"

  (PS: I don't know what's going on, but the number of collections has surged. If it breaks 100 today, I'll add another chapter)
