In the dead of night, a loud bang almost woke up all the residents in the Tongzi Building.
Five or six local gangsters grabbed "weapons" and occupied the Jiang family's small living room of less than 20 square meters without standing or sitting.
In the cramped space, the furniture was scattered on the floor, and only the old electric fan was still spinning.
There was no trace of panic on Jiang Zhiyu's face. She looked around, picked up a wooden chair, wiped it with a handkerchief three or four times, and then sat down.
"Sister, do you understand me?" Scarface, the leader, was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and sneered, "Tomorrow is the deadline for repayment. Have you collected the 2 million? , still haven’t gotten it all together? Damn, it’s so hot. Doesn’t your house have air conditioning? You can’t bear to turn it on?”
"Ah, Ayu...she, she owes 2 million?" Jiang's mother bit her lip, too frightened to say anything, but still tried hard to protect Jiang Zhiyu behind her.
"Yeah!" Scarface tugged at the corner of his lips, and he rummaged around on the coffee table with the fruit knife in his hand for a long time, but he didn't find the air conditioner remote control.
"However, our eldest brother is a person who knows how to be considerate. He said, if your daughter really can't afford the 2 million, it doesn't matter! She is welcome to come to our club to 'work to pay off debts'. With your daughter's beauty, she can sing whatever she wants. If you play two songs, you can earn 18,000 yuan in one night..."
The four words "work to pay off debts" were spoken by Scarface in an extremely ambiguous manner. Before he could even finish his words, the boys around him started laughing maliciously.
"You! I'll fight with you!" Mother Jiang was so angry that she burst into tears. At this time, she couldn't care less about her fear and rushed towards the scarred face desperately.
"Ouch?" The scar-faced man sneered, restrained Mother Jiang with one hand, and slapped her face with the cold fruit knife, "Auntie, you are making it difficult for me! Everyone on the road is here. You know, I never hit a woman!"
"Ayu, run quickly, run quickly..." Mother Jiang cried helplessly.
"Let her go." Jiang Zhiyu said coolly. Although his voice was soft, it seemed to carry a hint of the inherent majesty of a superior, making people want to surrender.
The cold moonlight filtered through the screen window, and she slowly took out the blood-red satin ribbon originally tied around her wrist and tied up her dark satin-like hair.
"What did you say?" Scarface was stunned, as if he suspected that he heard wrongly.
"I said, let her go." Jiang Zhiyu's expression did not change at all. While Scarface was stunned, he quickly stood up and strangled his right hand holding the knife.
With only a slight exertion, the scar-faced wrist seemed to be controlled by some irresistible force, and it was involuntarily released.
With a "clang", the knife fell to the ground.
"Brother Gang!" The boys around him were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and they all stepped forward to restrain Jiang Zhiyu.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiyu reacted faster. After kicking away the boy closest to her, he pinned Scarface on the only table in the living room and picked up the fallen food on the ground. The knife was aimed at his throat.
"Now, can you listen to me?" Jiang Zhiyu raised his eyelids and glanced casually at the people who were still about to come forward. He gently exerted force on the hand holding the knife, but his face was still calm and calm.
Suddenly, a bright red blood mark appeared on Scarface's neck. The pain was so painful that he could only howl and order the boys around him to stay back.
He didn't understand at all why, in just half a year, Jiang Zhiyu seemed to be a different person, his whole demeanor had changed, and yet he could even control him.
When Ming Ming went to the club to borrow a loan shark, he still acted like a timid little white rabbit who was ready to be slaughtered.
Scarface cursed in his heart and began to think about how to counter Jiang Zhiyu.
Otherwise, if word got out about being held against the throat by a girl of eighteen or nineteen, how could he still hang out on the street in the future?
Unfortunately, Jiang Zhiyu didn't give him any chance.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Jiang Zhiyu's restraints.
After several secret battles, Scarface had to give up and wilted.
For a moment, there was silence in the living room. Even Jiang's mother hesitated and did not dare to speak, as if she was also frightened by her daughter's behavior.
Jiang Zhiyu nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the current situation in the room, and sat down on the wooden chair with his scarred face.
Although she was holding a knife against someone else's neck, there was no emotion in her eyes, and her movements were still elegant, as if she were sitting in a magnificent palace drinking afternoon tea, naturally showing a graceful and noble look. temperament.
"If you have something to say...don't be impulsive!" Scarface scratched his neck and swallowed nervously.
"The original loan was only 50W, but now in less than half a year, it has reached 200W. According to national laws, this kind of loan is usury. The excess interest in usury is not protected by law."
Jiang Zhiyu looked calm and still said slowly: "Not only that, during the collection process, you used violent collection methods. Almost all the neighbors saw you entering the house with weapons..."
"If one or two people accidentally die during this period, such as me or you..."
When the cold light suddenly appeared, Jiang Zhiyu narrowed his eyes and rubbed the hilt of the knife in his hand: "Your eldest brother, will you still be willing to protect all of you? In addition, you may have heard that the city is currently carrying out a 'clean-up campaign' Special activities for evil..."
Scarface's face looked uncertain, as if he was thinking about something.
Although the younger brothers around them still had vicious expressions on their faces, they were hesitant in their hearts.
"However, I am not unreasonable." Before anyone could think clearly, Jiang Zhiyu spoke again.
"It should be the case if you owe money and repay it. If you can buy about three more months and promise not to come here to disturb my family in the future, then I can ignore whether your annual interest rate exceeds the value stipulated by the state. , three months later, the loan will be repaid 250W with interest. The extra part will be regarded as the hard work of several people."
Scarface was stunned, as if he didn't expect that even with the knife pressed against his throat, Jiang Zhiyu could still reason with him. Not only was he willing to repay the money, but he was even willing to pay him some hard work.
"You can't even get 2 million now, but you will have 250W in three months? What a liar?" The big man standing at the door spat, looking at Jiang Zhiyu with contempt.
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Zhiyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the handle of the knife in his hand slowly slid down another two centimeters, "I have made it very clear about the serious relationship between this. If you insist on seeking your own death, then But no one else is to blame.”
"No, no, no!"
Scarface immediately stopped the big man. He had no doubt that as long as anyone dared to say the word "no" again, the knife in Jiang Zhiyu's hand would be inserted directly into his throat.
