Chapter 690 690: Cough It All Up, Principal and Interest
Old Wang sighed, "My son started a small business, and because he wanted to expand but had no property to use as collateral, he couldn't get a bank loan and had to turn to them for high-interest loans."
"At that time, we agreed to pay back in three months, but their interest compounded, and the amount skyrocketed several times over. We could only pay back half."
"Since then, we kept repaying, but my son went bankrupt, and still couldn't finish repaying the debt."
Chen Xuan nodded, understanding what happened.
Yang Leshan snorted coldly, "So it's those high-interest lenders! No wonder they come demanding money so forcefully, like bandits!"
"People like this should just be castrated!" Xiao Yiyi responded coldly.
The leader, Li Hu, glared at Chen Xuan, "Kid, today we got caught by you, but don't get happy too soon."
"This has nothing to do with you, you'd better stop meddling! Or else, there will be consequences for you!"
Hearing this, Old Wang and the old lady were even more terrified.
"Young man, you should leave quickly; they have many people, you can't afford to provoke them!"
Both worried for Chen Xuan and his group, and also troubled about their own fate.
Once entangled with such high-interest lenders, it's like being trapped for life, with no easy escape.
Chen Xuan waved his hand slightly, "Uncle, since I came across this today, I'm definitely taking care of it!"
"With me here, you don't need to worry."
After saying this, Chen Xuan looked at Li Hu, "High-interest lending is illegal, don't you guys know that?"
"According to normal lending relationships, Uncle Wang's son already paid you off. Now get lost, and stop coming back to cause trouble, and I can let this go."
"If you still don't give up and continue causing trouble, I'll make you spit out all the money you've blackmailed! Now scram!"
Li Hu didn't dare speak, crawled up from the ground, and ran off with his men.
Getting into the van, Li Hu instantly felt empowered again, "Kid, if you're daring, you'll wait for me! I'll damn well kill you!"
Leaving this harsh threat, he drove away quickly.
"Damn it, now we're in real trouble."
Old Wang kept sighing; Li Hu would surely bring people back to cause more trouble.
Tomorrow when Chen Xuan and his group leave, the old couple would likely suffer, and their son would not be spared.
Chen Xuan reassured them, "Uncle Wang, thank you for your hospitality tonight."
"We can't accept your kindness for free; I'll see this matter through to the end!"
"If they dare come back to cause more trouble, I'll get every penny of your money back for you!"
The old couple didn't know what to say, nor did they know if Chen Xuan could handle Li Hu and his men.
Their hearts were filled with worry and unease.
Returning to the next courtyard, Chen Xuan had no intention of sleeping; he was waiting for Li Hu to come back with more people.
He waited until ten at night but saw no one coming.
"Seems like they won't come back tonight; they should be bringing people over tomorrow morning to cause trouble."
"Let's go back to the room to rest, and we'll see what happens tomorrow."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, letting Yang Leshan and Xiao Yiyi go back to their rooms to sleep.
Originally tonight, the two women had their own thoughts, planning to find a chance to sleep with Chen Xuan.
But after this commotion, neither of them dared disturb Chen Xuan and had to return to their separate rooms.
Yang Leshan didn't really mind, as she had already gotten what she wanted last night.
Xiao Yiyi secretly suspected Yang Leshan of her sneaky actions last night, but had no evidence.
Tonight she intended to get in first, but it looks like that plan will fall through.
The two of them each slept in a separate room, while Chen Xuan stayed awake in the living room.
A peaceful night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, before seven, the van reappeared.
This time, three more vans followed, parking at Old Wang's doorstep.
The doors opened, and about twenty people jumped out, holding sticks.
A fierce and intimidating stand.
"Old Wang, where's that brat from last night? Tell him to come out and meet his fate!"
Li Hu shouted angrily, his face filled with rage.
Old Wang and the old lady were trembling with fear, seeing the scene, they shook all over.
The neighboring villagers all came out to see what was happening.
When they saw Li Hu bringing so many people standing at Old Wang's door, no one dared to get close.
They could only watch from afar, secretly worrying for Old Wang and his family.
Chen Xuan heard Li Hu's shouting and smirked coldly, "Looks like this guy really doesn't know when to quit!"
"Today, I'll fulfill his wish! Along with interest, I'll make him return everything to Uncle Wang's family!"
