Gu Teng sat on the ground and cursed for a while before he stood up and walked home.
"What are you looking at? Scram." Occasionally, a passerby would look over and scold him. The passersby saw that he was not someone to be trifled with and did not argue with him. They only quickly walked past him.
But how was he going to pay off the gambling debts he owed? Gu Teng Jianhan pulled his face. He didn't want to run, since they couldn't keep looking for him.
Thinking that he could do it, he quickened his pace towards home.
After turning a corner, his short courtyard was already right in front of his eyes. Gu Teng could even see the red couplet pasted on his door.
Suddenly, a black shadow came down on him, startling Gu Teng. He quickly reached out his hand to block it.
However, it was too late. Darkness struck, followed by the baton hitting the vine.
"Ah, have mercy, chivalrous hero have mercy."
"Daddy! Daddy! Please, spare me!"
Gu Teng couldn't stop begging, but the clubs still mercilessly greeted him.
After a long while, the old vine didn't even have the strength to cry out. It could only twitch its body in pain as it was slaughtered by others.
"Let's go." One of the men waved his hand, and his men immediately threw the motionless vine into the car.
The group of people instantly disappeared from this narrow alley.
"Boss, I brought it."
"Yes." Li San was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. When he heard his subordinate's report, he immediately put down his coffee cup, got up and walked out quickly. "Come, let's go take a look."
Li San led his men around a few bends in the corridor and arrived at the basement.
The basement was poorly decorated, but the torture instruments were all in place. Rows and rows of all kinds of parts were either hung or placed on top of each other, and it was filled to the brim.
Li San walked over, and the subordinate behind him immediately moved a chair over with a meaningful glance. Li San crossed his legs and sat down.
When the guard saw Li San come down, he immediately took down the gunny sack that was wrapped around the ancient vine's head.
The current Gu Teng was covered with wounds, and he was tied to a chair with fear written all over his face.
The sack was taken off his head, and all the scenes in the basement were instantly imprinted into his eyes. Gu Teng was so scared that he let out a "putong" sound and fell onto the ground along with his chair.
At this moment, he did not feel any pain and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to Li San. "Big brother, please spare my life. This little one did not know where I offended you, so I was blind. Please don't follow this little one's knowledge …"
Li San did not look at him and casually copied out a whip. "Gu Teng, 43 years old, unmarried, in debt of three hundred thousand."
Gu Teng opened his eyes wide and looked at him in puzzlement, not knowing what he meant.
With a 'swoosh', the whip brought along a thunderous sound as it viciously lashed against the old vine's back. The cheap cloth on the back couldn't withstand the force and was ripped apart, revealing a bloody wound.
"Ah!" Gu Teng immediately laid on the ground. His lips were trembling from the pain, and the fear in his eyes slowly spilled out.
"Get him to call Liu Muxin out and get the video." The small walkie-talkie in his ear transmitted the usual cold tone of Shen Mo Chen.
"You went to S City a few years ago." He straightened his face and walked up to Gu Teng, squatting down and looking at him. Without waiting for Gu Teng's reply, he said, "I have a deal here, it all depends on whether you're willing to do it or not."
"I started my business in S City a few years ago." Gu Teng looked at Li San's expression and asked timidly, "I wonder what kind of deal brother is it?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely a good thing for you." Li San used the handle of his whip to pat Gu Teng's face and stretched out his hand. Immediately, a lackey sent him a photo. Li San opened it up and said, "Do you know her?"
"It looks a little familiar." Gu Teng looked at the woman in the photo and frowned for a long time. He still couldn't think of anything to call her, but she looked very familiar.
"Liu Muxin."
"Ah, yes, I know him." After being reminded, Gu Teng suddenly remembered that he had a deep relationship with this woman before he went bankrupt.
"I'll give you three days to ask her out and get a video of the details." With a cold face, Li San continued, "When the matter is completed, I'll give you one million."
"A million?!" The old vine repeated in disbelief, its eyes brimming with surprise and joy. Hearing such a huge benefit, even its eyes turned red.
If he had a million yuan, his debt would be repaid. He would be able to buy a good house, eat and dress well, and even play with a woman. If he won the bet again, he would be rich.
As he thought about it, the scene of everyone bowing and kneeling to him seemed to appear in front of him, and his eyes all emitted a wolf light.
"Don't be so happy yet." Li San looked speechlessly at the ancient vine that didn't seem right because of a single word he said. "You have to promise that you'll get the photo of me sleeping with Liu Muxin. You have to show her face."
"Yes, yes, yes." The vine nodded its head in agreement, as if it was afraid that Li San would go back on his word.
"CEO, it's done." Li San stood up and whispered to Shen Mo Chen.
"Give him Liu Muxin's number." Shen Mo Chen looked at the video of Gu Teng's fat face with a cold expression. He pressed his hand and the video cut off.
"What is Liu Muxin doing now?" Shen Jingchen lit a cigarette and smoked as he stared at the computer screen. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
"She went to City H today to contact the wedding site." The man behind her didn't have much of a reaction as he reported in a normal manner.
"Where's Cissy?" Liu Xixi had been sticking to him recently, so he came looking for her soon. Why was it so quiet today?
"Miss Sissy and Zeng Yi were arranging flowers together." The subordinate behind him added, "He seems to be in a good mood."
"That's good." Shen Jingchen was relieved when he heard this. He put out the cigarette he had just lit and picked up the documents from the table.
There were so many things happening recently that there was actually a pile of documents in the company.
Shen Jingchen quickly drew on the documents, and his underling stepped out to call a servant to bring a cup of coffee for him before hurriedly leaving the villa.
He still had a lot to do.
An entire afternoon passed with Shen Jingchen busy doing this. He only stopped what he was doing when the moon rose outside the window.
He rubbed his heart tiredly and closed his sore eyes before once again opening them to look at the overweeningly arrogant emperor.
He got up from his chair and walked out of the room. After some thought, he pulled a servant over and asked, "Where is Cissy?"
"In the living room." As soon as the servant finished speaking, he raised his head and saw an empty shadow in front of him.
