"Huang De Han pleaded in a low voice, 'Brother Li, I don't have five million right now, but I've opened an inn. Can you give me a few days to sort things out? Once I sell the inn, I'll give you the money.'"
Brother Li chuckled and generously replied, 'Sure, but the daily interest rate is three percent.'
Upon hearing this, Huang De Han was almost scared out of his wits. Three percent daily interest meant that the interest on five million for a single day would be 150,000!
His inn only made around 150,000 in a month, and now Brother Li was asking him to pay 150,000 per day. Where was he supposed to get that much money?
Wasn't this a death sentence for him?
With a mournful face, Huang De Han said, 'Brother Li, I don't have that much money to give you.'
Brother Li coldly snorted and said, 'If you don't have money, then leave your hands behind!'
Huang De Han trembled in fear, his whole body shaking. He hastily said, 'Fine, I'll give it to you!'
Brother Li grinned and said, 'I'll give you half a month. By then, give me seven million, including the interest.'
Huang De Han quickly responded, 'Brother Li, it won't take half a month. I'll go back now and immediately sell the inn.'
Brother Li smiled and said, 'Alright, when will you send your wife over to me?'
Trembling, Huang De Han replied, 'That might take a little longer because her parents are visiting.'
Brother Li frowned displeasingly and said, 'How long is a little longer? I don't have the patience to wait that long. How about leaving one of your hands behind?'
Terrified, Huang De Han quivered and with a tearful voice said, 'I'll do it as soon as possible. I'll go back and discuss it with her.'
Brother Li said, 'I'll give you one day. Tomorrow night, I want her!'
Huang De Han reluctantly agreed, saying, 'Fine!'
Satisfied, Brother Li nodded and said, 'Tomorrow night, I'll send a car to pick you up.'
Huang De Han quickly replied, 'Alright!'
'Alright, you can go back now.' Brother Li waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.
Immediately, a lackey stepped forward and blindfolded Huang De Han.
Huang De Han was escorted out of the room and got into the same car that had brought him there, following the same route back.
Once they arrived at the inn, Huang De Han's blindfold was removed.
As he was about to get out of the car, the man warned him, 'Don't even think about running away. We have people everywhere in Lijiang. If you're caught, we'll break your tendons!'
Huang De Han quickly assured him, 'I won't, I won't run away.'
'Get lost. Tomorrow night, I'll come to pick you up.' The man finished speaking and kicked Huang De Han out of the car.
Huang De Han fell down, feeling utterly humiliated.
The van quickly drove away.
'Huang De Han?'
Yi Bing and her parents and brother-in-law happened to return and saw Huang De Han falling out of the car, looking disheveled.
Yi Bing hurriedly went forward to help him up and asked, 'Where did you just go?'
Huang De Han forced a smile and said, 'Nowhere, you're back.'
Yi Bing reproached him, 'Yeah, you still have the nerve to say that. You ran off halfway through our outing.'
Seeing Yi Bing's parents and brother-in-law staring at him, Huang De Han awkwardly said, 'Alright, let's go back.'"
Yi Bing didn't want to argue with Huang De Han in front of their parents and siblings. She let out an angry hum and led her parents and siblings into the inn.
Huang De Han also didn't greet Yi Bing's parents and went straight back to his room.
After a while, Yi Bing also returned to her room. She said angrily, "Huang De Han, what's the meaning of this? Explain to me clearly, where did you go just now?"
