Revenge

Anda Financial CompanyNot only locals of Jiangzhou, but even those who have lived there for a long time know that this is a company operating under the guise of finance, but in reality, it's nothing more than an unrestrained loan shark operation.Many families have been ruined by this company.Despite its notorious reputation and the ruthless tactics of its debt collectors, many still come to this company, whether out of desperation or because they are gamblers and addicts.It's simple, because Anda Financial has a very low threshold for issuing loans.They don't ask for things like houses or cars.As long as you have a wife and kids, as long as your family is in Jiangzhou, they'll lend you money!However, the interest rates are outrageously high.For example, the twenty-seven thousand yuan that Ye Chen owes—his principal was only fifteen thousand, but now, within just one month, it has inflated to twenty-seven thousand.This is the kind of outrageous interest that makes them almost untouchable. But despite the damage they've caused to countless families, Anda Financial's doors remain wide open, waiting for the next batch of desperate souls to walk in."Biao Ge, the guest is here!"As soon as Ye Chen stepped inside, someone shouted."Damn, why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and welcome our high achiever!"A coarse voice rang out from the back of the office, about 40 or 50 square meters in size.Ye Chen couldn't help but sneer at this.Under the greeting of the small-time goons, he walked toward the back."High achiever, come, have a taste of my top-grade Bi Luo Chun tea, a gift from the boss. Good stuff, haha!"Unlike the usual greed and calculating looks, Biao Ge smiled at Ye Chen, like a smiling tiger."I don't need tea, Biao Ge, I'm here to settle the debt, both principal and interest, it's all here. We're square now."Ye Chen placed the black bag on the table."Hah, why the rush? No hurry, let's chat for a bit!" Biao Ge stood up and walked over, slinging his arm around Ye Chen's shoulder."Speaking of which, I really admire you college grads. You have so many ways to make money. Tell me, what's the latest money-making opportunity? Share it with Biao Ge, huh?"Biao Ge knew very well that Ye Chen, who had gone to view properties at the Golden Fish Manor, was definitely not someone who made money by gambling.He had seen plenty of gamblers like Ye Chen—if they ever won, it was small change. There was no chance for a real comeback.So the money Ye Chen had was definitely not from gambling. As for borrowing it from someone? That was even more ridiculous.Gamblers like Ye Chen could only get loans from loan sharks, nobody else would lend them money.If they could borrow, they wouldn't have turned to a loan shark."I won on a lottery ticket!" Ye Chen said with a wry smile."Damn, are you messing with me? You just happened to win the lottery?" Biao Ge sneered."Biao Ge, does your company need to know where the money came from?" Ye Chen replied."Damn, still not willing to talk?" Biao Ge's face darkened."There's nothing to say."Ye Chen shook his head.He no longer had that cowardly, intimidated demeanor that he had once had when facing Biao Ge."Fine, no talk, huh? Then let's settle the interest. Thirty thousand, right? This wasn't from a few days ago, it's been a few more days, so we need to adjust the figure. You understand the rules, right?"Biao Ge smiled at Ye Chen, holding up three fingers. "No need to make it complicated, thirty thousand, both principal and interest. You can check the amount."It seemed that Ye Chen had come prepared.Biao Ge was quite surprised.He gestured to his men, who immediately began counting the money."Biao Ge, thirty thousand is correct!"Hearing this, Biao Ge looked at Ye Chen again. "Alright, high achiever, seems like you've really found a way to make money! So, do you want me to introduce you to a higher-class place? It's much better than those places you've been to before. There are special services too, whenever you feel the need to relieve yourself, resources are always available. And let me tell you, the girls there are all like stars. I'm not kidding, they all look like celebrities!"Ye Chen had originally planned to leave.But hearing this, he stopped.Because Biao Ge's words reminded him of his past life.In his previous life, in order to get back at these loan sharks, he had spent quite a bit of time and effort infiltrating them.But again and again, they had escaped due to their connections and backing.Even the inspection team, which had come to Jiangzhou three times, had failed each time.It wasn't until the fourth time, after a lengthy and secretive operation, that they were finally able to raid a huge gambling den involved in not just gambling but also drugs and human trafficking. That was when the entire gang, along with their bosses and their protectors, was finally taken down.When the news broke, the entire Jiangzhou rejoiced, but behind the applause was a chilling realization of just how cruel and sinister that gang had been.The women providing those "special services" were mostly students or had been lured in by various means, controlled through threats and drugs to completely break their resistance.Compared to just lending money at high interest, that hidden gambling den was the true den of iniquity.When Ye Chen had been reborn, he thought that this den wouldn't be operational yet.After all, the event that led to its downfall in his past life had happened years later.But hearing Biao Ge talk about it now, he knew the den was already in operation."A higher-class place?" Ye Chen feigned interest."Of course, do you think I'm lying? If you're interested, I can introduce you. But it's not some place anyone can just walk into. You need to know the secret code to get in," Biao Ge said."Where is it?" Ye Chen asked, his excitement growing."Maple Leaf Hotel. When you get there, they'll ask if you've made a reservation. Just say Biao Ge sent you. Someone will take you to the 19th floor. Once you're up there, they'll ask about the weather outside. Just say 'clouds are light and the wind is gentle'—that's it!" Biao Ge replied."Alright, thanks, Biao Ge!" Ye Chen said."You're welcome. I wish you a happy and prosperous hand, hahaha!"After Ye Chen left.Biao Ge quickly made a phone call.One of his men hesitated and asked, "Biao Ge, how much money does this kid have? He used to be a poor guy. Why are you introducing him to the Maple Leaf Hotel?""You don't understand. This kid was quick to repay his thirty thousand, then he went to buy property at Golden Fish Manor. Even though I don't know how he became rich overnight, it doesn't matter. What matters is that he definitely has a lot of money now. Even if he's just good for a few hundred thousand, we'll still profit!" Biao Ge sneered."Biao Ge, the boss told us to be careful about the Maple Leaf Hotel business, not to make a big deal out of it, to avoid trouble. Do you think...?"Before the man could finish, Biao Ge slapped him on the forehead."What trouble could that weakling cause us? Damn, if he manages to get the better of me, I'll let the boss chop me up and feed me to the dogs. Besides, with our boss's power, how could these scumbags stir up any trouble?" Biao Ge said, his face curling into a smug grin.The man next to him quickly nodded in agreement.They didn't dare voice the thought that, just a few days ago, Biao Ge had been bested by Ye Chen in his rented apartment.
