Chapter 278: Second Master Fu, A Man of His Word

Chapter 278: Second Master Fu, A Man of His Word

When the incident happened, it wasn’t even 6 a.m. yet.

The weather was cold and dry, and the north wind was howling. When the cold air entered their lungs, it made people shiver.

The police received a police report, but it would take them some time to rush over to the scene. This group of people tugged at Qiao Aiyun’s clothes and said that she had killed someone. Coupled with the man lying on the ground howling in agony, a large group of onlookers instantly surrounded them.

Cheng Hu and his gang were obviously gangsters.

They had tattoos all over them, and they all looked fierce, so no one dared to step up to stop the fight. Some of the more warm-hearted onlookers helped call the police.

“Everyone, come and judge. These rich people nowadays are borrowing money and not repaying it because they have money and power. They even hit someone with their car. How can they bully people like this?

“It’s only right and proper to repay your debts. She even wanted someone’s life. How can someone be so vicious?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?! He clearly ran into my car himself!” This was the first time Qiao Aiyun had encountered such a shameless person, and she was both anxious and angry.

“He was standing beside the car just now. You yourself didn’t see him, and you hit him. Yet you still think you’re in the right?”

When Qiao Aiyun started the car, this person had clearly not been there, and it was unknown when he appeared. When she regained her senses, she had already knocked him to the ground.

She was so angry that she was trembling. Encountering this kind of a hooligan, she couldn’t even explain herself even though she was in the right.

Qian Jiang, who was originally driving behind them, didn’t expect such a situation to suddenly occur and hurriedly got out of the car. Just as Cheng Hu reached out to pull Qiao Aiyun again, Qian Jiang grabbed his wrist.

“Oww—” Cheng Hu was definitely not able to withstand Qian Jiang’s grip and cried out in pain. “Where the f*ck did you come from?! How dare you touch me?!”

Qian Jiang was extremely strong. He gripped Cheng Hu’s wrist tightly, as though he could break his bones in an instant.

Cheng Hu looked at Qian Jiang. Qiang Jiang was tall and burly, and he was obviously not on the same level as Qian Jiang. Just as he was about to shout at him, Qian Jiang’s sharp gaze scared his words back into his throat.

“Qian Jiang?” Qiao Aiyun was surprised. Why is he here?

“You even found a helper to come?! Do you want to kill someone in broad daylight?!”

The people around them started shouting.

“Exactly! There are so many people here. Who the hell are you glaring at?!”

“If you dare to touch Brother Hu today, don’t even think of having peaceful days!”

Qian Jiang swept his gaze across the group one by one. His expression was cold and fierce, and his aura was naturally different from these hooligans.

Even though they were waving their fists and looked like they were about to fight, their eyes were shifty. They were a bunch of cowards.

After all, Qian Jiang really had blood on his hands. After ten seconds of confrontation, these people had obviously gotten a little timid.

F*ck, this man’s gaze is too cold and ruthless. They just wanted to collect some money, not actually get beaten up*.* They all took two steps back.

“If you want to talk, just talk! Don’t get physical!” Qian Jiang let go of Cheng Hu’s hand and shielded Qiao Aiyun behind him.

Qian Jiang was good at fighting, but he didn’t know how to handle things at all. He could only ensure the safety of Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan.

“If any of you take another step forward, I definitely won’t be polite.” Qian Jiang frowned.

Once Song Fengwan saw Qian Jiang come out, her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

…

The people around them were whispering. “This must be extortion. They’re clearly here to scam her and extort money from her. If that person is sent to the hospital, the medical fees and mental damage will probably make a huge hole in her wallet.”

“Yeah, she’s really unlucky. How did she get involved with such hoodlums?”

“They just want to make a bigger commotion and get more money from her.”

***

About ten minutes later, the police came. When they saw Cheng Hu’s group, they felt a little helpless.

“Why is it you guys again? Haven’t you already discussed your matter and decided to take legal action? Why are you causing trouble again?”

It was obviously not the first time the police had handled their matter, so they were very familiar with both parties.

“Officer Liu, what’s the use of me agreeing to it alone? The money belongs to all my brothers, and they weren’t happy about it, so we just came to ask her for an explanation. I merely said a few words, and then she knocked someone down. I’m innocent too!” Cheng Hu looked helpless.

“Did I really knock him down, or is it actually a scam?” Qiao Aiyun gritted her teeth.

“This person has been lying down for so long. Hurry up and send him to the hospital. Why are you leaving him here? All of you, come back to the police station with me.”

All cars nowadays had dashboard cameras, so Qiao Aiyun initially thought that the truth would come to light after the recording was retrieved. But clearly, she had thought too simply of these people.

The dashboard camera was parallel to the windshield, so they had deliberately found a tricky angle where it couldn’t capture the scene. They were obviously professional at such scams.

Even though everyone knew that the other party was trying to extort money, they were unable to prove it for the time being. There was only one surveillance camera around them, and it had been blocked by the car, so it didn’t capture the entire incident at all.

Geng Ying immediately rushed to the police station and asked her assistant to go to the hospital.

The doctor found that the man had only suffered some minor abrasions, and his injuries were nothing serious. But the man insisted that his entire body hurt and wanted to do a full body checkup, and he kept clamoring that he had to be hospitalized…

In fact, Cheng Hu and his group’s goal was very simple. Qiao Aiyun was considered a famous person in Yuncheng, and famous people all cared about their reputation, so he just wanted to harm her reputation to force her to return the money.

They had done this kind of thing many times, and it had never failed.

He also knew that it was impossible to get back the principal along with the interest, but he just wanted to extort as much as he could from Qiao Aiyun.

When Yan Wangchuan arrived at the police station, Qiao Aiyun was discussing countermeasures with Geng Ying. “What happened?”

“Why are you here?” Qiao Aiyun was a little surprised. She thought that Yan Wangchuan would only come back after the Lantern Festival[1].

“What’s going on?” Yan Wangchuan raised his eyebrows. I only went back for a few days. How did she get involved with loan sharks? And what’s the murder Wanwan mentioned on the phone?

Along the way to the police station, he had been really scared out of his wits.

“Actually…” Geng Ying briefly explained the matter to Yan Wangchuan. “These people are pestering us endlessly now. They’re just like bottomless pits, and they’re insatiable.

“It’s useless no matter how much we give. The loan Song Jingren took is too big. It’s not a small sum of tens of thousands of yuan. It’s already more than a hundred million with the interest.”

“I think these people need to be cleaned up.” When Yan Wangchuan thought that it was the mess that Song Jingren had left behind, his expression became even tenser out of anger.

“That person is requesting to be hospitalized now. The doctor has already checked, and there are only some abrasions. Everything is fine, yet he’s insisting that his entire body hurts. He’s definitely doing it on purpose.” Geng Ying pinched the space between her eyebrows. “We ignored the ruckus they caused for a few days, so they started using these lowly tricks. They’re really shameless.”

“Hey, what are you saying?! Who are you calling shameless?!” One of them jumped up and shouted at Geng Ying. At this moment, all of them were still in the same room.

Yan Wangchuan’s fingers tightened. He was about to go over when Qiao Aiyun stopped him.

“If you touch him, he’ll definitely pretend that he can’t get up from the floor.”

“Then, I might as well beat him until he can’t get up.” In the social circles that Yan Wangchuan came into contact with, he wouldn’t meet such people. His expression was tense, and his gaze was utterly cold.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking of ways to deal with it recently. These people are all hooligans in Yuncheng. This money isn’t Ms. Qiao’s responsibility in the first place. It’s just that Ms. Qiao only has her daughter beside her and obviously has many properties, so they’re easy to bully.

“It’s useless to reason with such people or call the police on them. The normal methods are useless against them…

“Actually, it’s very simple to get rid of them. As long as we know some big shots in Yuncheng who are willing to help mediate this matter, these people will retreat in the face of difficulties.

“It’s best if the big shot is someone with authority and a powerful background. These people only bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as they still want to survive in Yuncheng, they naturally won’t dare to bully Ms. Qiao again,” Geng Ying analyzed carefully.

The Yan family’s main business was in Nanjiang. There, everyone would naturally give Yan Wangchuan some face, but he really didn’t know many people in Yuncheng.

The few people he knew were all owners of small businesses, so they didn’t have powerful backgrounds.

Qiao Aiyun was also working at a small business, and she had interacted with some people. But after going through them in her mind, none of them seemed to meet the requirements.

She understood what Geng Ying meant. The person they needed was a man of his word, a man of integrity in Yuncheng.

And it would be best if this person had a wide network of connections in both legal and illegal businesses. To be able to settle a debt of tens of millions with just a few words, this person definitely had to be a big shot. Moreover, this person had to be someone that this group of people couldn’t reach and afford to offend.

***

Song Fengwan sat at the side and listened to their conversation quietly. They want to find a big shot with high prestige in Yuncheng?

Even elders like them can’t find someone like that, let alone a child like me.

She turned her head to look at Qian Jiang, who was standing beside her, and beckoned him over with her finger. Qian Jiang bent down and leaned his ear toward her. “Do you know anyone like that? Someone who can settle this matter.”

He had been following Fu Chen for a long time, so he definitely knew more people than her.

Qian Jiang’s expression was as cold as usual, and he didn’t speak.

“Forget it. It’s useless to ask you.” Song Fengwan sighed. I really can’t find a good solution to deal with such shameless hooligans.

Song Fengwan took out her phone and took a look. There was still no reply from Fu Chen.

Right at this moment, Qian Jiang suddenly said, “I do.”

“Huh?” Song Fengwan turned her head to look at him. “You know someone like that? Who?”

“Second Master.”

Song Fengwan frowned. Second Master?

In terms of prestige and status in Yuncheng, if this person said that he was second, no one would dare to claim to be first. This person was the Fu family’s second master—Fu Zhongli.
