Chapter 306 Exorbitant Interest Rates
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those burly men were exceptionally arrogant. Wherever they went, they overturned everything in their path, instilling fear in the customers who were dining, causing them to hastily stand up and distance themselves.
These individuals were tall and muscular, with fierce tattoos on their arms, necks, faces, and chests.
It was evident that they were ruthless individuals associated with the underworld and not to be trifled with.
Wang Chao and Shen Bing exchanged a glance, their expressions subtly changing.
"Help! Help!"
The college student who had been beaten on the ground wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with fear, and he quickly ran away.
However, these burly men were hardened criminals, engaged in terrifying activities on a regular basis, living a life on the edge. Their reflexes were quick, and they immediately gave chase, swiftly kicking the student back to the ground.
"Trying to escape?"
One of the burly men with a snake tattoo on his arm had a sinister gaze. He stepped on the student\'s back, squatted down, grabbed his hair, and grinned, "Xu Tao, did you think you could outrun our pursuit?"
"Kid, tell me, when are you going to repay the money?"
"You bastards! You lent me only three thousand yuan, but now you want me to repay thirty thousand. How can I afford that?"
Desperation filled Xu Tao\'s eyes as he trembled and pleaded, "Please, have mercy. I-I\'ll repay you the principal amount, alright?"
Bang!
The burly man\'s eyes turned cold. He grabbed Xu Tao\'s head and slammed it viciously onto the ground, causing his head to bleed. With a wicked smile, he said, "Kid, what did you say? Only repay the principal? Then how will I feed myself?"
"According to the market economy, your corneas are worth one hundred thousand."
"Let me tell you, if you don\'t repay today, don\'t blame us for being ruthless. We\'ll dig out your eyes!"
"I\'ll repay, I\'ll repay, please give me some time. I\'ll go raise the money right away." Xu Tao was filled with panic, trembling as he begged for mercy.
The burly man laughed wickedly, his eyes growing colder. He grabbed Xu Tao\'s hair tightly. "Did you think I would let you off so easily?"
"Now, you\'re coming back to the company with me!"
"If you repay the money, we\'ll let you go. But if you can\'t, according to the contract you signed, your body belongs to us."
With that, he dragged Xu Tao away, holding onto his hair.
"Help! Help!"
"Can anyone save me?"
Xu Tao struggled desperately, shouting for help.
However, neither the entire restaurant nor the people on the street reached out to lend a hand.
There were even many college students who kept their distance, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at those menacing thugs.
The owner and employees of the Meizhou Restaurant were also filled with dread, their eyes filled with fear, and they didn\'t dare to intervene.
Seeing this scene, Xu Tao\'s eyes were filled with despair, his face pale.
In the hands of these people, he could already envision his tragic fate.
Before he could continue pleading for mercy, the burly man with the snake tattoo who was holding onto him gave him a cold glare and slapped him across the face, causing him so much pain that he couldn\'t speak.
The burly man with the snake tattoo glanced at everyone present and shouted, "What are you all looking at? Do you want to meddle in this?"
Wherever his gaze fell, many people immediately lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact out of fear.
The burly man with the snake tattoo sneered, highly satisfied, and prepared to leave while holding onto Xu Tao.
"Hey, you dropped something."
At that moment, Wang Chao looked towards the group of thugs led by the burly man with the snake tattoo, his gaze sharp.
"Something dropped?"
The burly man with the snake tattoo and all the other thugs were taken aback, instinctively looking towards the ground.
The ground was empty, there was nothing dropped.
Enraged, the burly man with the snake tattoo glared at Wang Chao and said, "Kid, are you playing tricks on me?"
"I\'m not playing tricks on you. You did drop something, your conscience!" Wang Chao said calmly.
These people are charging incredibly high interest rates for the loans they give. They lent 3,000 yuan as the principal, but demanded 30,000 yuan in return. When the college student couldn\'t repay, they wanted to capture him and gouge out his eyes.
They are ruthless and clearly not good people!
The burly man\'s eyes turned cold, and in a fit of rage, without a word, he grabbed a bottle from a table and viciously smashed it towards Wang Chao\'s head.
Without hesitation, Wang Chao swiftly kicked, striking first, and sent the burly man flying backward more than five meters, crashing to the ground, vomiting uncontrollably and unable to get up for quite some time.
"What... What?"
Witnessing this scene, all the thugs present were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at Wang Chao.
The burly man was their skilled fighter, strong and weighing over 170 pounds. Yet, Wang Chao was able to kick him so far away. What kind of force was that?
The burly man with the snake tattoo vomited everything he had eaten, his expression twisted in agony, forehead covered in sweat.
Wiping his mouth, gritting his teeth, his eyes burning with rage and icy coldness, he roared, "Everyone, listen up, kill him!"
Upon hearing his command, the other thugs who came with him roared and charged towards Wang Chao.
Seeing them coming, Shen Bing, without a word, quietly moved the table farther away and continued eating her meal.
She had lived with Wang Chao in the jungle for seven days and nights, and witnessed firsthand how Wang Chao dominated Lafayette. She knew Wang Chao was powerful and had no worries at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
While Shen Bing was moving the table, Wang Chao had already taken action. Swift and agile, in less than ten seconds, he sent all the thugs flying, crashing to the ground, unable to get up.
"Eurgh..."
The burly man with the snake tattoo saw this scene, his pupils contracting in shock, his face filled with astonishment.
Who was this person?
Casually defeating so many thugs like this, it was too incredible!
"I don\'t want to resort to violence again. Get lost!" Wang Chao said coldly.
The thugs\' expressions changed drastically, not daring to defy him, hastily getting up and fleeing, not daring to say a word.
The burly man with the snake tattoo also looked horrified. He glared fiercely at Wang Chao and Xu Tao and said, "Alright, so you want to stand up for Xu Tao? I\'ll bear in mind you. You better not run, or I\'ll find someone to kill you!"
After saying that, he struggled to get up and clumsily ran away.
Once he saw the man leaving, Xu Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief and hastily wiped the blood from his forehead.
Wang Chao walked over, helped Xu Tao up, and let him sit beside him. He asked, "Classmate, what\'s going on? You\'re so young, why are you borrowing money from online loans?"
"Thank you, bro."
Xu Tao looked at Wang Chao gratefully, sighed, and said, "Actually, it wasn\'t me who needed the online loan initially. It was my girlfriend. She borrowed too much money and couldn\'t repay it. If she didn\'t repay, those people would publish her naked photos on the school\'s online forum."
"If that happened, she would be ruined."
"I wanted to help her, but I didn\'t have much money. I thought of borrowing 3,000 yuan first to help her repay."
"I did not expect the interest rate to be so high. Initially, they uttered it would be installment payments, 500 yuan per month."
"But after I borrowed the money, everything changed. The interest became over 500 yuan every month, plus the principal, so I had to repay 1,000 yuan every month."
"I\'m just a student, I\'m also poor. I could not repay for a month, and the next month the interest rolled over to 2,000 yuan."
"I... I can not repay."
"Wuwuwuwu~"
"Brother, what do you think I should do?"
At this point, he felt wronged and his eyes turned red. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, filled with despair and helplessness.
Wang Chao and Shen Bing exchanged a glance, seeing the astonishment and anger in each other\'s eyes.
These interest rates were exorbitant!
