"Haha, Meifang, you're thinking right. Here's what we'll do: I'll arrange for you to go back to working at Emperor Hotel today. Doesn't your mother's illness require a significant amount of money? By working at Emperor Hotel, on one hand, you can earn money to pay off debt, and on the other hand, you can earn money to treat her illness. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? You see..."

"I..." Shao Meifang wavered slightly. Right now, she was at her wit's end - aside from this, she couldn't think of any other way.

"Meifang, if you dare to go back to that hotel and sell...your body again, I'll die right in front of you!" Liu Ying's angry rebuke suddenly came from inside the room. The word "sell...your body" obviously took her a long time to say, yet ultimately she spoke up despite losing face!

"Mom, don't be angry, I won't go, just calm down, I really won't go!" Hearing that Liu Ying's voice wasn't normal, Shao Meifang immediately dashed into the inner room.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? I really won't go, as long as you're healthy, it's all right for our family to live together, sob sob..." A heart-wrenching cry echoed from the room, the mother and two daughters hugging each other and weeping bitterly. The scene was immensely sorrowful.

The burly man admonished coldly, "Hmph, damn old woman, you almost died just now..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Bufan, sensing that things were going downhill, immediately interrupted Kuan Ge's words. Liu Ying's condition had already deteriorated to the extreme, and just now she almost passed out over Shao Meifang's burden - if Kuan Ge brought up that Shao Yujun had died right now, it would be the end of them.

"Huh? Who the hell are you to meddle in my business?" Kuan Ge frowned slightly, now turning his gaze to Zhu Bufan by his side.

From start to finish, Zhu Bufan had been overlooked by him, as Zhu's attire made him look like a scholarly servant, nothing but a worthless wretch in Kuan Ge's eyes. Not worth paying attention to!

"You don't need to know who I am. Just tell me how much Meifang owes you, and hand over the IOU so I can take a look," said Zhu Bufan, reaching out to Kuan Ge for the IOU.

Kuan Ge sized him up and, noticing Zhu Bufan's attire was not cheap, realized he must be a "rich man" and handed the piece of paper to Zhu Bufan.

The loan was one hundred thousand Yuan, with the remaining fifty thousand being interest.

"I can pay you back the one hundred thousand Yuan she borrowed. Please, don't bother her anymore after this!" Zhu Bufan hesitated only momentarily before making his decision. Debts must be repaid; it's only right.

"Haha, are you blind, kid? The total with interest is one hundred and fifty thousand. If you have the money, take it out; if not, don't come here bothering my mother with your nosiness, get lost!" Kuan Ge snatched the IOU back from Zhu Bufan's hands, his face full of impatience.

"Brother, one should be forgiving whenever possible. This family has already fallen to such a point; can't you just..." Zhu Bufan pleaded.

"Fuck off, go to hell!" Kuan Ge exploded in anger, lifting his right leg and delivering a forceful kick towards Zhu Bufan's abdomen. This idiot, not knowing what's good for him, dares to spew nonsense in front of me? Is he tired of living?

"Crack!" A muffled sound of bone snapping filled the air as Kuan Ge's leg was caught by Zhu Bufan, who then used force to twist it around in his hands for a full turn. That sound was clearly the noise of a dislocated bone.

"Ouch," Kuan Ge howled in pain and hastily tried to retract his right leg, only to find it was continuously sore and completely beyond his control.

"Good boy, you've got some nerve. Brothers, rush him together and beat him to death!" With a wave of his hand, Brother Kuan signaled his lackeys to immediately make a move.

"Clang clang clang..." A large group of lackeys wielding steel pipes and machetes viciously rushed towards Zhu Bufan.

Zhu Bufan saw that the space in the room was too small, and a fight here would inevitably damage the things inside. He thought it would be better to capture the leader first, control Brother Kuan, and then negotiate with him.

"Get lost!" Zhu Bufan suddenly struck, landing a heavy punch on the chest of a lackey at the forefront, sending him flying far away. The powerful impact knocked down a large number of lackeys behind him.

Zhu Bufan then took advantage of this moment to dash forward like an arrow, raising his hand to clutch Brother Kuan's neck and held him in his hand like picking up a chicken.

The crowd in the back snapped out of their daze, but Brother Kuan had already been captured. Everyone hesitated to act rashly, not wanting to hurt their own.

"How about it, Brother Kuan, can you give me some face today?" Zhu Bufan turned his head back, still smiling, but his hand squeezed tightly, causing Brother Kuan to gasp for breath, his life hanging by a thread.

"Let's talk, let's talk. Brother, please let go, we can negotiate, please don't be impulsive!" Brother Kuan struggled for a while but couldn't escape from Zhu Bufan's grip. He had to wave his hand to signal Zhu Bufan to calm down. Ultimately, his life was the most important; as long as he could save his skin today, there would be a chance for revenge later.

If he lost his life today, even if Zhu Bufan were to be executed by shooting tomorrow, it wouldn't bring Brother Kuan back.

Zhu Bufan immediately set Brother Kuan down, but he didn't let him go far. Instead, he lifted an arm and rested it on Brother Kuan's shoulder, pretending to be polite: "Brother Kuan, what I mean is, we'll give you another hundred thousand... and then consider the debt with Shao Meifang settled. How about that?"

"This..." Just as Brother Kuan was about to refuse, he suddenly felt an intense pain on his shoulder and quickly changed his tune: "All right, all right, one hundred thousand it is. The remaining fifty thousand can compensate for the damage to their furniture. Once you hand over the money, we'll leave immediately!"

"Great, Brother Kuan is straightforward. Here is the money..." Zhu Bufan pulled out his own cash from his pocket, then suddenly remembered that he was still short by more than a thousand. He felt embarrassed, thinking, "Damn, what will happen later if they find out the exact amount is missing!"

Although hesitant, he had no choice but to hand over the money, as the situation had reached a critical point.

"Leper, come and count the money, and if there's no issue, we'll leave right away!" Brother Kuan didn't want to end things in such a hurry, but today's situation was a bit out of control. For now, this will do. They would wait for another day to prepare fully and then properly teach this fool who didn't know whether he was dead or alive a lesson.

"Yes, Brother Kuan!" A bald youth quickly walked over and took Zhu Bufan's money to count it.

Five minutes later, the leper finally noticed something: "Brother Kuan, I've counted three times, there's only 98,900 yuan here, not enough for one hundred thousand!"

What the leper said was true. After the Ouyang Family gave Zhu Bufan one hundred thousand, he had given a thousand to the security captain to show off, and tonight Shao Meiru had also extorted one hundred from him, making it exactly 98,900 yuan.

"Brother, this... Please give me an explanation!" Brother Kuan finally got his tough demeanor back. After a series of interactions, he realized that although Zhu Bufan was formidable, he was very principled. As long as you caught his "weakness," you could hold him in check!

"This... Pass me the money, let me count it myself!" Zhu Bufan was somewhat embarrassed, but he still called the leper over, trying to be brave.
