Wu Liangmin stared blankly in the living room for a while with his phone in his hand before slowly returning to his bedroom.
Seeing his expression, Baldy San knew that he wouldn't be able to find Li Weijun again. His face immediately darkened and he waved his hand at his three henchmen and said, "Go, search him and see if he has any money on him."
The three henchmen immediately rushed up. Two of them grabbed his arm, while the other bent down and searched in the pocket of his suit shorts. He found the envelope containing the 800 yuan consolation money.
Seeing that the consolation money was taken away, Wu Liangmin howled like a pig being slaughtered, "Third Brother, this is my life-saving money, you can't take it away! I beg you, I'll think of a way to get more money for you. Give this consolation money back to me, I still need to buy rice and groceries with this few hundred yuan! "
One of the henchmen raised his hand and slapped him twice. He shouted, "You owe Third Brother so much money, and you still want to hide this few hundred yuan? Dream on! "
Baldy San took the envelope, took out the money and looked at it. He sneered and said, "Ruffian, you won't be able to get through today with this little amount of money. We have a rule when it comes to collecting debts: either you see money or you see blood! If you can't pay back the money, then you should bleed a little so you can remember! You choose yourself: do we knock out one of your teeth or cut off one of your fingers? "
When one of the henchmen heard Baldy San's words, he immediately took out a sharp knife from his pocket. He grabbed Wu Liangmin's collar and used the knife to knock on his lips and arms. He sternly shouted, "Tell me, do you want your teeth or your fingers?"
Wu Liangmin was scared out of his wits. He repeatedly begged for mercy and said, "Third Brother, brothers, I beg you to be magnanimous and give me a few more days. I'll go find Brother Feihu tomorrow and ask for business from him. I'll use all the money I earn to pay back the debt, okay? "
The Brother Feihu he was talking about was a mafia boss in Taolin County. He was also a drug dealer. In the past, Wu Liangmin had "taken drugs" from him and sold them to the drug addicts in Dalong Town. This kind of thing couldn't be said in front of Lu Tao, but because the situation was critical and he was sure that Lu Tao wouldn't be able to guess what the "business" he was talking about was, he decided to take a risk and ask Baldy Three and the others to spare him this time …
Baldy San glanced at Lu Tao, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lu Tao's face. He scolded, "Stinky bitch, do you want to kill Brother Feihu? Now that you're so poor, do you think Brother Feihu will still give you goods? Bah! "
After spitting at Wu Liangmin, he waved his hand again and shouted at the lackey holding the knife, "Bull, do it!"
Lu Tao stood there silently. Baldy San and the others thought that he was also here to ask Wu Liangmin for money, so they didn't pay attention to him.
At this moment, when the henchman nicknamed "Bull" was about to grab Wu Liangmin's collar again, Lu Tao suddenly stood between them. He then looked up at Baldy San and said in a negotiating tone, "Brother San, he really doesn't have money right now. Please let him go this time and let him slowly pay you back in the future, okay? If you really knock out one of his teeth or cut off one of his fingers, that's illegal and you'll have to bear legal responsibility. If the police investigate, not only will you not be able to get his money back, the person who did it will also go to jail. At that time, you'll be in the wrong. Why bother? "
Baldy San tilted his head and looked at him. He sneered and asked in a disdainful tone, "Kid, which gang are you from? You're in Dalong Town and you dare to meddle in my business. You even use the law of the country to threaten me. You've got guts! To tell you the truth, I, Liu Sanhua, am not even forty years old and have been in jail for twenty years. Do you think I'm afraid of going to jail? "
Then, he glanced at the briefcase in Lu Tao's hand and saw that there seemed to be a lot of documents inside. Furthermore, Lu Tao was speaking Mandarin, not Taolin dialect. He concluded that Lu Tao was a debt collector from a small loan company.
So he laughed and continued, "Kid, looking at your gentle appearance, you must be a debt collector from a small loan company in the county or Songshan city. Let me give you a piece of advice. This Wu guy owes me more than eighty thousand yuan. He's so poor right now that his pockets are stuck to his butt. Don't even think about getting your company's money back in the next three to five years. You should go back and report to your boss and write off his debt so that you don't have to come here often. Not only is it tiring, but you also have to pay for the bus fare. That's not worth it, right? "
Then he didn't wait for Lu Tao to answer and shouted, "Bull, what are you waiting for? Do it! "
Bull heard Baldy San's order and put his hand on Lu Tao's shoulder. He tried to pull Lu Tao's body away. Unexpectedly, his hand seemed to be holding onto an iron wall. No matter how hard he tried, Lu Tao's body didn't move at all.
Bull was a reckless man. Seeing that he couldn't move Lu Tao, he couldn't help but become angry. He suddenly raised the knife in his hand and aimed at Lu Tao's neck.
Lu Tao was prepared. When Bull was about to cut his neck, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Bull's wrist that was holding the knife.
Bull tried to get rid of Lu Tao's hand, but no matter how hard he tried, his face turned purple. His hand that was holding the knife felt like it was being clamped by a pair of iron pliers. The more he struggled, the tighter it got. The pain went deep into his bones. Therefore, he used his other hand to hit Lu Tao's chest and shoulders. Lu Tao was fine, but his fist was aching.
Baldy San had practiced Kung Fu before. When he saw Bull grimacing, he knew that he had met a Kung Fu master. He was shocked. He stared at Lu Tao and shouted, "Boy, which gang do you belong to? Which gang do you belong to? Tell me your name. If you're one of us, we can talk it over. "
Lu Tao answered coldly, "I'm from the local tax bureau. I don't belong to the gang. However, I heard about you from Inspector Zou Xianghong from the local police station. She said that although you are in the gang, you are a loyal person. You have your own principles and bottom line. You won't act recklessly. However, judging from your behavior today, you seem to be a little different from Inspector Zou's evaluation of you. You can collect debts, but if you hurt the person who owes you a debt, it is a crime. Don't you understand this? You know that it is a crime, but you still do it. Where are your principles and bottom line? "
As soon as he said this, the three bald men couldn't help but turn pale with fright. They stood up from the chair and looked at Lu Tao again. Then, they suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you Lu Tao, Section Chief Lu?"
