A few minutes later, President Zhao called Yang Shoucheng's company and confirmed there were no issues with the check. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"President Zhao, you were acting very strangely just now," said the lobby manager.
President Zhao picked up his cup and took a sip of water, saying lightly, "It's nothing. Someone deposited nearly three hundred million yuan into our bank; how could I not treat them well? Remember this, never judge a customer by their appearance in the future. You almost offended this big client just now."
The lobby manager quickly replied, "Yes, it's still the president who has vision."
President Zhao thought to himself, "Vision my foot!" He had felt like a puppet controlled by strings just now, and that feeling was terrifying! He would never forget it in his life.
Ye Tian got into the car and immediately called Lin Ziyi. The same man answered the phone.
He said, "I have the money ready."
The other party replied, "Very good. I'll tell you the address now. Kid, don't try any tricks, or you'll regret it!"
Knowing the address, Ye Tian instructed the driver to head there.
About half an hour later, the car drove into a local canning factory that had been bankrupt for over half a year. The place was desolate.
At this moment, more than a dozen cars were parked in the factory's courtyard. Several young men with dragon and tiger tattoos on their bodies were smoking and chatting in the yard.
As Ye Tian's car drove in, they immediately surrounded it. One bald man, about 1.7 meters tall, with a dark face and fierce eyes, asked, "Are you Ye Tian?"
Ye Tian got out of the car and told the driver to leave.
Then, he threw the briefcase on the ground and said, "This is five million. Count it yourselves if you want. Where is she?"
The bald man opened the bag and saw stacks of hundred-yuan bills. He immediately laughed and said, "Not bad!"
He zipped up the bag and walked inside with it, saying, "Follow me."
They entered a very dirty factory building. In the open space in the middle, there was a sofa, a table, and several chairs.
At this moment, a man with a ghost face tattooed on his face and a branded gold watch on his wrist was sitting on the sofa. He was smoking a cigar, with his left leg crossed over his right, puffing out smoke. Sudan Novel Network.
The bald man placed the money next to him and said with a smile, "Boss, this fool actually brought five million."
The man with the gold watch suddenly started laughing. As he laughed, he suddenly coughed. He threw his cigarette into the ashtray, clapped his hands, and said, "Truly loyal and righteous."
Ye Tian looked around but couldn't find Lin Ziyi. He asked, "Where is Lin Ziyi?"
The man with the gold watch replied, "Sorry, you won't see Lin Ziyi today."
Ye Tian frowned, "We agreed that I'd pay the money, and you'd release her."
The man with the gold watch asked the bald man, "Did I say that?"
The bald man chuckled, "Boss, I made the call, and I don't remember saying that."
The man nodded and spread his empty hands towards Ye Tian, "As you heard, we didn't say that."
Then he said to the bald man, "Is the interest we're charging Miss Lin too low?"
The bald man immediately understood. He took out a calculator and pressed some numbers. "Boss, I miscalculated earlier. The principal plus interest up to this point requires five million three hundred and fifty-seven thousand eight hundred yuan. This money should be four to five million, which might not be enough."
The man with the gold watch was very pleased and said to Ye Tian, "Brother, please make another trip and bring the remaining money. Once the money is paid, I'll let you see Lin Ziyi."
Ye Tian's expression was blank. He said calmly, "Although you are loan sharks, it is natural for debtors to repay their debts. You lenders hope others are trustworthy, yet you yourselves lack any integrity."
The man with the gold watch glanced at Ye Tian and suddenly laughed, saying, "What, you want to be tough with us?"
Immediately, a muscular man over 1.95 meters tall stepped forward. He was only wearing a black tank top, his body covered in bulging muscles, and he stared menacingly at Ye Tian.
