Chapter 138 Driven to a Dead End, Like Being Struck by Lightning

Upon hearing that sleazy voice, everyone present instinctively made way for him.

The man who came was named Yang Cheng. He was the biggest hoodlum on this street and a frequent visitor to the detention center.

But they weren't afraid; they were released after being locked up for a while.

He wasn't usually too outrageous. He hung out with a bunch of thugs and did some street hustles. Fighting and brawling were common occurrences, but most of the fights were fought in private.

Of course, they also lend money to others, charging a good interest rate.

They also use some thuggish methods to help deal with some fools.

In fact, Yang Cheng was a very shrewd person and had good connections with some big business families in the capital.

Now that the authorities are keeping a close eye on things, there are many things that these people can't do themselves. So they look for these tight-lipped, trustworthy scoundrels to help them handle some shady matters.

It's true, the most righteous people are often from humble backgrounds. Although these people are scoundrels, they are very trustworthy in the underworld.

After all, they knew that if they lost even this last bit of credibility, it would be even harder to make a living in the future.

These kinds of people can be found everywhere, and even in Shanghai, there have been several notorious scoundrels.

In this part of Beijing, those without money or connections are just street thugs, while those with some connections are called "playboys."

Some of them were children of high-ranking officials who were implicated after the storm, and some even had their homes sealed off, forcing them to live on the streets.

But they still have some connections, so they will receive some preferential treatment.

So no matter what trouble they cause, as long as it's not too outrageous, the higher-ups sometimes turn a blind eye.

This Yang Cheng was a notorious troublemaker among the children of wealthy families in Beijing.

He had been specifically instructed by someone to deal with the Luo family.

There's no need to give them any face; they're not good people to begin with.

As the saying goes, evil people need evil people to teach them a lesson.

The Luo family needs some even more ruthless villains to teach them a lesson.

Just then, Luo's father lost his job due to bad luck, and all the family's belongings were gone. When he was at his wit's end, Yang Cheng appeared and kindly lent him money.

At the time, Luo's father was thinking, how could there be such a foolishly kind person in this world? It's easy to borrow money but difficult to repay it. Didn't he know that?

Who cares about the consequences? I'll just borrow the money and see what happens. Of course, I also got an IOU.

But if he doesn't acknowledge the IOU, what can anyone do to him?

As it turns out, there really were people who could do anything to him; Yang Cheng had brought a bunch of troublemakers and thugs with him.

They have connections and they're ruthless.

If they really wanted to mess with someone, to make their lives miserable and never have a moment's peace, it would be a very simple matter.

Ever since the Luo family borrowed their money, they haven't had a peaceful day.

Every few days, someone comes to collect the debt; it seems like the money will never be paid off.

They had reported it to the police, but the IOU was still there, so it was only natural for them to come to collect the debt.

Moreover, Yang Cheng and his group weren't unreasonable; they were just trying to annoy the Luo family and intimidate them.

They even said that their brothers were short of wives. These guys were all big, burly men with fierce faces.

The Luo family's daughters were terrified when they saw this, and of course they were unwilling to agree.

The reputation of the Luo family has become increasingly tarnished due to these repeated disturbances.

If a family wants to marry a wife while also incurring a lot of debt, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Logically speaking, if someone else dared to cause such a disturbance, they would probably have been arrested long ago.

But Yang Cheng and his group knew their limits and never went too far. The Luo family already had a bad reputation, so no one really cared about this matter.

Moreover, it's obvious that someone is deliberately targeting the Luo family, determined to make things difficult for them.

Therefore, the person in charge here gave that person some face and naturally turned a blind eye to Yang Cheng.

This will be a real hardship for the Luo family, but it's also the retribution they deserve.

At this moment, Yang Cheng came to collect the debt, and no one else in the courtyard dared to make a sound. Everyone knew that he was a ruthless character and should not be easily provoked.

The women of the Luo family trembled with fear when they saw Yang Cheng arrive with several burly men.

Luo's father had already returned home by this time. He wanted to slip away when he saw the mess in his house, but Yang Cheng caught him red-handed just as he was about to leave.

"Oh, isn't this Master Luo? Come, come, Master Luo, isn't it time to pay back the money? You made that promise so solemnly before, you can't go back on your word!"

Yang Cheng, with a grin, stopped Luo's father, who was about to slip away, and the old man immediately trembled in fright:

"Uncle Yang, please give me a few more days! Look, my daughters are all preparing to go to the countryside. They were supposed to receive a subsidy, which would have allowed me to repay your money, but some unscrupulous person has embezzled it!"

“I’m also worried about this right now. I’m trying to find out what’s going on everywhere… So, could you give me a few more days?”

Yang Cheng's eyes narrowed at this moment:

"So, in the end, you still don't have the money to pay back? If you don't have the money, that's fine too. You can use your family's belongings as collateral to pay off the debt."

Upon hearing this, Luo's father was stunned. His family had just started to accumulate some wealth, which Yang Cheng had taken away, but he wouldn't record it as debt. This guy was a bottomless pit; giving him anything was useless, and he still owed so much money.

Now Luo's father is filled with regret. He shouldn't have lent this guy the money in the first place; who would have thought the guy would be so difficult to deal with.

Even if you take it to the police, they'll come back after a few days of peace. They're not giving them a way to survive!

However, Luo's father was unable to resist. He was pushed and shoved into the house, only to find that the house was bare and empty.

His vision went black for a moment; this scene seemed so familiar.

He returned home later than his wife and daughters, and was unaware that the house had been emptied out.

"Where are all our belongings? Who the hell did this? That Mr. Yang... It's not that I don't want to pay you back, but look, we have nothing left. How am I supposed to repay you?"

Yang Cheng was taken aback when he saw how clean their house was, even cleaner than their faces.

Although the Luo family was poor before, they still had some tools and utensils. Now they don't even have pots and pans. The Luo family is really going all out to prevent them from taking their things.

This infuriated Yang Cheng!

"You old Luo, are you making a fool of me?"

"Fine, since your house has been emptied out and you have nothing left, then leave the house to pay off the debt."

"Although this house isn't yours, I can at least rent it out. You can find somewhere else to live. From now on, this house will be under our management!"

Upon hearing this, the Luo family was instantly struck dumb!
