Chapter 25: Chen Qi's Plan (Part 1) (Seeking Collection)
That afternoon, Zhang Fugui had the beef noodle shop close early and he and Chen Li followed Zhang Fujun's brothers to Zhang Fujun's home.
"I say, Rich Man, you're also a grown man now, shouldn't you have started a family? Look at the state of your home!"
After entering Zhang Fuhans home, looking at the wine bottles and trash all over the floor, and the musty smell and stench filling the entire room, Zhang FuGui furrowed his brow, somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Fuhan.
"Hey, big brother, look at me like this, is there any decent woman willing to follow me and live with me?" Zhang Fuhui smiled awkwardly, somewhat embarrassed, and said to Zhang Fugui.
"Alas! But you can't go on like this for the rest of your life, can you? And who knows how many tears Uncle Er and Aunt Er have shed in secret because of you?" Zhang Fugui sighed.
"My parents would probably be better off if I hadn't been born, so why would they shed tears for me?" Zhang Fuhansaid with a lowered head, muttering somewhat embarrassedly.
"Is there another parent in this world who doesn't love their own child? You don't have children, so you won't understand how they feel. Every time I go home for New Year's, your aunt will start crying when she mentions you. But you, you scoundrel, never bother to visit them. Don't they deserve some repayment for raising you and leaving this whole house to you?"
Even if you're not doing well now, but to your parents, being able to see them is the greatest comfort for them. Don't tell me you don't even understand this?" Zhang Fugui scolded him in anger after hearing Zhang Fuji's complaints, using his elder brother identity.
"Rich brother, actually what you said makes a lot of sense. The kindness of our parents is something that cannot be repaid even if we were to sacrifice ourselves. As children, how can we forget this? If my parents were still alive and by my side, I would definitely take good care of them and not let them shed a single tear for me!"
After fully integrating Chen Li's memories, the current Chen Li now has a clear understanding of his own identity. In his heart, he actually acknowledges this identity even more, so when he remembered his parents who had passed away many years ago, Chen Li said with some emotion;
"Stand up, brother, your parents are...?" Chen Li was so young, but his parents had already left him? This news made Zhang Fuhuan somewhat astonished, and Chen Li's words also made him reflect on his own actions over the years, sinking into deep regret, wishing he could kneel in front of his parents right now to ask for their forgiveness.
"You don't dare to face the deep-seated hatred of your own parents, yet you still have the nerve to lecture others here! Chen Li, you're not only a coward, but also a hypocrite!" A cold voice echoed from within the courtyard.
"Big brother, she's coming!" Along with Chen Qi's voice, the fierce wolf's voice with a hint of fear also came in.
When Chen Li and Zhang Fu Gui walked out of the room, they saw the woman in black standing in the courtyard of Zhang Fu Han's house like a cold plum blossoming in the snow. Under the howling north wind, her windbreaker was blown tightly around her body, making her proud figure even more upright. However, Zhang Fu Han's younger brothers didn't dare to admire this beautiful scene with colored eyes, and instead, their eyes were filled with a hint of terror. If it weren't for Zhang Fu Han treating them relatively well in the past, these people would have probably scattered like birds and beasts, escaping to who-knows-where.
I didn't think he'd actually come here? This is a bit like my uncle Zhihui's son! However, this is still far from enough. I must thoroughly stir up the blood of Uncle Zhihui that you inherited!
As for Chen Li's arrival, it can be said that it was within Chen Qi's calculations, yet beyond his expectations. So when he saw Chen Li arrive, a faint smile inadvertently appeared on Chen Qi's face, but all of this was naturally covered up by the huge sunglasses she wore, and no one could detect it.
"Miss, we had no grudges in the past and no hatred recently. Moreover, you still recognize my brother Chen Li. Why must you make things difficult for us?" Zhang Fugui cautiously blocked Chen Li behind him and asked Chen Qi first;
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you all, it's just that I don't like some of his behavior!" Chen Qi pointed at Chen Li behind Zhang Fugui.
"Miss, did I ever do anything wrong to you?"
Chen Li racked his brains to recall the woman who had a relationship with him, but he was still in a fog. He really couldn't remember when he had offended such a woman. If she had clearly said that she was from the Dongfang or Lin family, it would be better. But in her words, she kept mentioning the deep-seated grudge against his parents and repeatedly scolded him as a coward. This didn't seem like the behavior of someone from the Dongfang or Lin family at all! Could it be that this woman was someone he had hurt before but had forgotten?
"You, you bastard! There's nothing between us!" Chen Li's words involuntarily reminded Chen Qi of his previous behavior, and he hastily clarified the relationship between them.
"Why are you looking for trouble with me again?" Chen Li was even more confused, this woman neither knew him nor had any relationship with him, yet she kept causing trouble for him time and time again, wasn't she sick?
"Zhang Fuhuan, where is the protection fee I asked you to collect?" Chen Qi couldn't explain this matter to Chen Li either, and she certainly couldn't tell him the whole truth. So, Chen Qi continued with her previous plan and started to make things difficult for Zhang Fuhuan.
"Me? This girl..." Looking at the black-clothed woman's sharp gaze, Zhang Fuhuan was so tense that he couldn't even speak.
"This young lady, I suppose you also know that Fu Han is my sworn brother. With his character, he definitely wouldn't ask me for this 10,000 yuan! If we give you the 10,000 yuan, can you let us off from now on?" Zhang Fu Gui started to probe and talk with Chen Qi.
This Zhang Fugui is indeed a man of great insight! I didn't expect his thoughts to be so meticulous! He actually guessed the reason why I deliberately found this Zhang Fuhuan, but as for my next plan, you're probably dreaming if you think you can guess it?
Chen Qi looked at Zhang Fugui standing in front of her with an appreciative gaze, thinking to herself.
"Hum! You think you can get rid of me with just 10,000 yuan? Don't even think about it! Zhang Fuhuan, I'm telling you, if you don't collect 10,000 yuan in protection fees from them every month, I will absolutely not let you and your brothers off!" Chen Qi said sternly to Zhang Fuhuan.
"Ah! 10,000 yuan a month?" Zhang Fugui and Zhang Fujun both sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing this, thinking to themselves what they should do now.
"I won't give you a single cent, come on if you want to deal with me!" Chen Li stood up and said.
"Get up!" Zhang Fugui said with some concern;
"Alright, let's just fight it out with her then! We won't give her a single cent!" At this moment, Chen Qi appeared to Zhang Fuhuan as an evil demon who devours people without spitting out their bones. He immediately stood on the same side as Chen Li and said:
"We're done for, we've had it with her!" Seeing the big boss express his opinion, Zhang Fugui's usual followers also chimed in to show their stance;
"Good! Good! Good!" As Chen Qi uttered the three "good"s in a row, the air in the entire courtyard seemed to solidify, and everyone except Chen was so overwhelmed by her powerful aura that they couldn't even utter a word.
"You're a good one, Zhang Fuhuan! You actually dare to be so ungrateful. Fine, I'll let the Black Tiger Gang and the Wild Wolf Gate handle this matter for me, and they can help me settle this account between us!"
