Lin Yu frowned.
“Don’t call me benefactor.
Just call me Lin Yu.”
“I’m here to collect a debt.
The Wu Corporation owes our Dingsheng Group over ten million.”
Xing Tianlong’s face immediately darkened.
He cursed, “That damn Wu Menglong.
He owes people money and refuses to pay, yet he has the gall to call me over to back him up.”
“Lin Yu, I’m older than you, so from now on, I’ll call you Brother Lin.”
“Alright.
If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.” Lin Yu was the first to head outside.
Wu Menglong was stunned to see Lin Yu walk out of the office completely unharmed.
Then, seeing Xing Tianlong, a surge of anger rose in him.
“Brother Long, what’s the meaning of this?
I called you here to take care of this kid, but he walked out without a scratch?”
Before Wu Menglong could finish, a heavy slap from Xing Tianlong landed squarely on his face.
Stared down by Xing Tianlong’s icy gaze, Wu Menglong shrank back.
He opened his mouth and then quickly shut it.
Xing Tianlong sneered, “Look at the mess your Wu Corporation has made.
You owe people money and won’t pay it back, and you still have the nerve to ask me to take care of your creditor?”
“I don’t want to get involved in your shady business.”
“Also, you’ve used up your favor.”
After saying this, Xing Tianlong walked straight out.
Lin Yu glanced at the dumbfounded Wu Menglong and left as well.
BAM!
Wu Menglong slammed his fist hard against the wall.
The taste of blood at the corner of his mouth was incredibly bitter.
‘What the hell is going on?
Xing Tianlong never asks for a reason before he acts.’
‘But he’s acting so strange today!
Could it be that kid has some kind of connection to him?
No, that doesn’t seem possible!’
‘I really got screwed over big time today.
Dingsheng Group, Lin Yu, right?
I’ll pay you back double for this in the future.’
Wu Menglong’s hysterical roar echoed through the hallway…
Lin Yu and Xing Tianlong went downstairs.
Xing Tianlong immediately said courteously, “Ah, Brother Lin, let me give you a ride back to your office.”
Lin Yu had been planning to take the bus back, so a ride in Xing Tianlong’s car would be much more convenient.
He nodded and said, “Then thank you, Brother Long.”
Xing Tianlong personally went to the passenger side, opened the door, and was about to let him in.
Just then, Liu Huamin peeked his head out from behind a nearby car and waved at Lin Yu.
His eyes were wide with shock when he saw Lin Yu and Xing Tianlong acting like sworn brothers.
Xing Tianlong looked at Lin Yu.
“Brother Lin, you know this person?”
Lin Yu nodded.
“He’s my colleague.
He came with me to collect the debt.”
Xing Tianlong asked, puzzled, “Then why didn’t he go up with you?”
Lin Yu chuckled.
“He was busy with something at the time, so he didn’t come up with me.”
Xing Tianlong said, “Then have him join us.
I’ll drive you both back.”
Seeing that Lin Yu hadn’t told the truth, Liu Huamin gave him a grateful smile and said, “Thank you.”
The men got in the car, and Xing Tianlong drove Lin Yu and Liu Huamin to the Dingsheng Group building.
Watching Xing Tianlong drive away in his luxury car, Liu Huamin’s eyes filled with envy and deep regret.
“Lin Yu, I never would have thought you knew Brother Long, and that you’re on such good terms!
Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Lin Yu said calmly, “Don’t mention this to anyone else.”
Liu Huamin nodded.
“Got it.
With Brother Long there, I bet you got the debt of over ten million back, right?”
Lin Yu waved the check in his hand.
“Got it back.”
Liu Huamin was overjoyed.
“You’re the man, bro!
I was so worried I was going to lose my job, but now I can finally relax.”
…
In the Finance Department conference room, Lu Chunxue had summoned all the employees.
Dong Liya and Xie Mingcheng were seated right beside her.
Their presence didn’t cause any controversy.
On the contrary, they were unanimously welcomed by the Finance Department staff; after all, they were Lu Chunxue’s guests.
Moreover, the Xie family was somewhat famous in Guyang City, so everyone wanted to curry favor with them, constantly showering Xie Mingcheng and Dong Liya with compliments.
Listening to the flattering words, Dong Liya was quite pleased with herself.
‘I really made the right decision to break up with Lin Yu.
If I’d followed him somewhere else, where would I ever get this kind of treatment?’
Xie Mingcheng responded to each of them with an affable smile.
“Everyone, you’re too polite.
If there’s anything I can help with in the future, just let me know.”
Everyone knew Xie Mingcheng was just being polite, but they were delighted nonetheless and were quite envious that Lu Chunxue had such friends.
Xie Mingcheng glanced at the time, then at Lu Chunxue, and asked in a low voice, “Chunxue, how is Lin Yu still not back yet?”
“He couldn’t have been beaten and sent to the hospital by the Wu Corporation’s people, could he?
If so, haven’t we been waiting for nothing?”
Dong Liya also urged, “Chunxue, Mingcheng has a point.
We should probably check on them.”
Lu Chunxue nodded.
She was also a little worried that Lin Yu wouldn’t be able to handle the people from the Wu Corporation.
Those guys were no pushovers.
She waved Chen Luo over.
Chen Luo scurried over eagerly and bowed.
“Manager Lu, what is it?”
Lu Chunxue instructed, “Call Liu Huamin immediately and tell them to hurry back.”
Chen Luo nodded quickly, walked to the side, and made the call to Liu Huamin.
A moment later, he returned to Lu Chunxue’s side and reported, “Manager Lu, Liu Huamin just told me in a rush that he and Lin Yu are already on their way back.”
“I already told them to come straight to the conference room when they get back.”
Lu Chunxue looked at Chen Luo and frowned.
“Did you ask if they got the money back or not?”
Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment, then he quickly recovered.
“Manager Lu, I didn’t ask that, but does it even need asking?
That’s ten million we’re talking about.
So many of our people have gone and failed to get it back.”
“Just Lin Yu and Liu Huamin?
It’s impossible for them to get it back.”
Lu Chunxue smiled confidently and waved for Chen Luo to return to his seat.
‘If Lin Yu could actually get that ten million back, I wouldn’t have called Xie Mingcheng and Dong Liya here for this meeting.’
She turned her head and said to Dong Liya and Xie Mingcheng, “My subordinate just said that Lin Yu and Liu Huamin are on their way back.
I don’t think it will be long before they arrive.”
“Just wait a little longer.
Even if Lin Yu and Liu Huamin didn’t get beaten up today, they definitely couldn’t have collected the money.
When they get here, you can watch how I tear into them.”
Dong Liya thought for a moment, then clenched her fist in excitement.
“I heard your subordinate say that Liu Huamin seemed busy on the phone just now.
Could it be because he’s taking care of Lin Yu?
That must mean Lin Yu got beaten up!”
Before Lu Chunxue could speak, Xie Mingcheng said with a confident expression, “Of course!
What kind of place is the Wu Corporation?
Especially that Wu Menglong, I’ve dealt with him before.”
“He’s not someone to be messed with.
It would be a miracle if Lin Yu and his partner don’t get their legs broken for trying to collect a debt from him.”
Dong Liya became even more excited.
‘I remember how he raised his hand as if to strike me, which scared me badly at the time.
But now I’m about to see him in a pathetic and miserable state!’ The thought gave her a sense of immense satisfaction.
Lu Chunxue’s gaze suddenly shifted to the conference room door.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and the first person to enter was Liu Huamin.
“They’re back.”
