Guo Laoye sighed, "As expected of Shao Tian. Our Guo family tried for so many years and couldn't get them back, but you managed to retrieve them as soon as you showed up. Ah!"
The Bai family behind Bai Shao Tian was indeed quite formidable. Bai Shao Tian himself hadn't even made an appearance, yet these debts were already being recovered.
To be honest, if his granddaughter could marry into the Bai family, it would indeed bring significant benefits to the Guo family.
Guo Laoye wasn't foolish; he knew very well that Bai Shao Tian's actions were motivated by Jiang Ran Ran.
"Young Master Bai is truly amazing."
"With Young Master Bai's intervention, all these debts are recovered."
"If we can cooperate with Young Master Bai in the future, our Guo family will surely soar to new heights."
"..."
Some members of the Guo family began to flatter him.
Bai Shao Tian waved his hand and said, "However, some accounts are rather difficult to collect. Take the Century Tiancheng Group's debt, for instance. There seem to be underground forces behind it, making it hard for me to intervene."
"Recovering several million is already quite good," Guo Laoye didn't expect to get back the money from Century Tiancheng.
The fact that these debts had been outstanding for so long already indicated the difficulty in retrieving them, let alone the debts from Century Tiancheng Group, which seemed almost impossible.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
At this moment, there was a knock on the private room door.
"It must be the food being served," Bai Shao Tian chuckled.
When the private room door opened, it was the hotel manager who walked in. He approached Bai Shao Tian, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young Master Bai, I'm truly sorry, but could you please vacate this private room?"
Bai Shao Tian's expression darkened at this. "Manager Zhang, what do you mean by this? You want me to vacate this room? Do you know who I am?"
Manager Zhang said with a apologetic look, "Young Master Bai, our hotel will compensate you handsomely..."
"Compensate?" Bai Shao Tian boomed, "What compensation can you offer? Or do you think I'm short of your paltry compensation? Get out. You want me to vacate this room? Never!"
This hotel was booked by Bai Shao Tian. Being able to book this hotel and such a luxurious private room was enough to demonstrate his status. Now, the hotel demanding he vacate the room was simply preposterous.
"Knowing it's Young Master Bai, yet you dare to ask us to vacate the room? Who gave you the guts?" Guo Fufu scolded angrily.
Manager Zhang took a deep breath and was about to explain something.
"Manager Zhang, have you still not cleared the room for me?"
A voice sounded from outside. A man with a bulging belly walked in.
"Mr. Huang, I'm already in the process of clearing it for you," Manager Zhang said.
"Oh, I thought it was someone else. So it's Mr. Huang?" Bai Shao Tian said with some displeasure. "I've already booked this room. Please find another one."
"Oh, so it's Young Master Bai," Mr. Huang said with a smile. "Young Master Bai, I have a genuine need for this room today. If you can vacate it for me, everything will be easier in the future. What do you think?"
The Mr. Huang before them was none other than the boss of Century Tiancheng.
"Then return the money you owe the Guo family first," Bai Shao Tian said lightly.
It was then that Mr. Huang noticed the others in the room. They were from the Guo family. He chuckled, "Well, we'll repay it when our company is financially stable. Young Master Bai, don't blame me for not warning you, but I'm here to entertain my boss. The elder specifically requested this private room. Are you sure you won't leave?"
Bai Shao Tian's expression changed.
"Perhaps we should switch to another private room. It's really not a big deal," Guo Laoye said with an awkward laugh.
"That's more like it," Mr. Huang nodded with satisfaction.
The Century Tiancheng Group had considerable backing, so neither Bai Shao Tian nor the Guo family dared to offend them easily.
Bai Shao Tian's expression turned even more somber. He had booked this room, and now they were forcing him to switch. Although there was no financial loss, it was a huge blow to his pride.
"Century Tiancheng, do you owe money to the Guo family?" Li Se suddenly spoke up.
Mr. Huang frowned. "And who are you?"
"Return the money. If you don't, the Guo family won't pay me my consultation fee. After all, they are my girlfriend's maternal grandparents, so I can't just demand it forcefully," Li Se said nonchalantly.
At these words, everyone from the Guo family's expressions changed. Did this fellow's brain short-circuit? Their Guo family didn't dare to utter a word in front of this Mr. Huang, yet this guy dared to demand repayment to his face.
Let alone them, even Bai Shao Tian would have obediently given up the room.
"You good-for-nothing, you dare to demand money from me to my face?" Mr. Huang narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that he was getting angry.
Li Se didn't even glance at Mr. Huang. "Have your boss come out. As long as it's not the Flying Speed Gang or the Qing Yi Sect, they will give me face."
"Pfft..." Mr. Huang couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was the first time he had heard such outrageous words.
"Kid, you're asking for death?"
"Take him down!"
There were several others outside the private room who were Mr. Huang's escorts. When they heard Li Se's words, they were all furious.
"Is this idiot crazy?" Bai Shao Tian cursed inwardly.
"Kid, you know about the Flying Speed Gang and the Qing Yi Sect, but do you know who is behind me?" Mr. Huang said fiercely.
"Could it be the Soul Gang?" Li Se asked.
"Since you know, how dare you be so arrogant?" Mr. Huang looked at Li Se as if he were already a dead man.
"When your boss comes, he'll have to respectfully call me Doctor Li. I'm calling Old Fu," Li Se said, already taking out his phone to call Old Fu.
Mr. Huang's face was now filled with coldness. "Good kid, you truly don't shed tears until you see the coffin. You're calling Old Fu? What a coincidence, he'll be here soon."
Guo Laoye quickly said to Bai Shao Tian, "Shao Tian, can you save this little doctor?"
Bai Shao Tian shook his head, "It's no use. After all, it's the Soul Gang. Even if my father were to intervene, it wouldn't help. This kid is doomed."
A moment later, Old Fu appeared. After receiving Li Se's prescription, he had planned to feast and drink, so he had asked his subordinates to make arrangements. However, as soon as he entered the hotel, he received Li Se's call saying he was also at the same hotel. He immediately quickened his pace.
"Old Fu!"
Mr. Huang saw Old Fu and quickly said respectfully, "I'm already clearing the room, but there's an ignorant fellow..."
Before he could finish, Old Fu had already hurried into the private room.
When Bai Shao Tian and the Guo family saw the leader of the gang, they became somewhat fearful. Such important figures exuded immense pressure.
"Oh dear, Doctor Li, why didn't you inform me in advance when you arrived? I was planning to host a banquet specifically to thank you after some time!"
Old Fu excitedly approached Li Se. His attitude and tone were not just grateful, but also respectful!
At this moment, everyone in the entire private room was stunned.
What... what in the world was going on?
