Xu Mu shook his head slightly when he saw this. He had originally planned to make a simple investment.
Unexpectedly, the return came so quickly.
"Damn it! Who are you guys? Do you know who I'm working for?"
After the tape wrapped around Ma Feng's mouth was torn off, he started shouting.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, his face clearly turned pale.
He wasn't afraid at all when being tied up by a group of well - behaved people.
But these people around, each looking fierce, made him a little panicked.
"Gentlemen, I don't think I've offended you, right?"
Ma Feng looked around tremblingly. Suddenly, he saw Zhao Yan. "Boss Yan?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yan shuddered and immediately explained to Lu Xueyao, "Sister Lu, I don't know this guy."
Ma Feng was completely stunned on the spot. Zhao Yan actually called this woman Sister Lu.
Then what's her identity?
In his opinion, Zhao Yan was already a local boss.
"Then you go and interrogate him."
Lu Xueyao looked at Zhao Yan and said.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yan walked towards Ma Feng and first slapped him in the face. "Who the hell are you? Do I know you?"
"Boss Yan, I'm Brother Pen's subordinate. Brother Pen is Brother Simao's subordinate, and Brother Simao works for you."
Ma Feng said with a bitter face.
"Simao's subordinate?"
Zhao Yan's face darkened.
He walked to a corner and immediately made a phone call.
After the call, Zhao Yan bowed his head to Lu Xueyao. "Sister Lu, please wait a little while."
Lu Xueyao nodded gently.
About ten minutes later, a fat man with a shaved head and four small braids at the back of his head rushed in.
When he saw all these well - known bosses in Jiangshi around, he almost pissed himself.
He looked at Zhao Yan here and said with his head down, "Brother Yan, what's the matter?"
"Your man?"
Zhao Yan pointed at Ma Feng and asked.
Simao looked back and couldn't remember for a moment.
"Brother Simao, I'm Ma Feng. We sang in the KTV before."
Ma Feng said hurriedly.
"Oh, I remember. He follows Brother Pen."
Simao then turned to Zhao Yan and smiled. "Brother Yan, he is indeed my subordinate."
"Your subordinate has offended Sister Lu."
Zhao Yan's face was as cold as ice. "If you can't handle this matter well, I'll break one of your fingers."
Hearing this, Simao was completely dumbfounded.
He turned around and slapped Ma Feng in the face. "Damn it! What the hell did you do?"
"I... I didn't do anything."
Ma Feng was also confused. Then he widened his eyes. Could it be what happened yesterday?
"Not going to talk? I'll break your hand first!"
Simao growled.
He didn't even know Ma Feng well, just a bit familiar.
Because of this guy, he was going to suffer. Who could stand it?
"Brother Simao! I'll say! I took the money privately and framed a company yesterday."
Ma Feng said with a trembling voice, and told the whole story.
It turned out that two days ago, his father died of illness.
When preparing for the burial, a man approached him.
The man said he would give him one million yuan to frame a company, saying that his father died after taking the company's medicine.
Ma Feng had never seen so much money before and immediately agreed.
Yesterday, with the cooperation of several people, he went to Xu's Group to cause trouble.
"Do you think you can enjoy this money?"
Xu Mu deliberately lowered his voice and looked at Ma Feng. "I've received the news that someone is offering five million yuan for your life."
"What?"
Ma Feng's face turned as pale as paper, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Could it be that they brought him here to kill him?
Ma Feng knew very well that if other people said this, it was probably just to scare him.
But these people, they really dared to do it.
"Boss Yan, Brother Simao, save me! I don't want to die! I'll give you all the one million yuan!"
Ma Feng's eyes were red. He really didn't want to die.
He was only twenty years old and had a great future ahead.
Zhao Yan then looked at Lu Xueyao on the sofa, waiting for her order.
But Lu Xueyao was looking at Xu Mu beside her.
"Who is the man who gave you the money? What does he look like?"
Xu Mu asked in a deep voice. First, he had to figure out who the enemy was.
"He was wearing a suit, good - looking, in his twenties..."
Ma Feng suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "He drove a red Ferrari!"
Xu Mu frowned slightly. Could it not be Fang Chu?
He remembered that when Fang Chu went to find Li Yun, he was driving a Rolls - Royce.
But Lu Xueyao had seen him at night, and she immediately asked, "Does that man have a slicked - back hairstyle? Is he thin?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's him."
Ma Feng nodded repeatedly.
"It's Fang Chu!"
Lu Xueyao said coldly to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu sneered. Sure enough, it was him.
"How did the other party give you the money?"
Xu Mu continued to ask.
"I opened a new bank card that day, and he transferred one million yuan directly."
Ma Feng replied.
"Okay, you go to Xu's Group for a live - stream later and publicly admit your mistake. Say that you were blinded by money and did something wrong, and show the transfer record."
Xu Mu looked at Ma Feng and said, "Your attitude must be sincere. I think they will definitely forgive you."
"Thank you, boss, for your advice."
"Also, hand over the money you earned to Sister Lu."
Xu Mu reminded him.
"Yes, I'll prepare right away."
Ma Feng nodded vigorously. Money was important, but compared with his life, it was nothing.
Xu Mu and Lu Xueyao left the warehouse together and came outside.
"Xueyao, now that you're their boss, will you also lead them to collect protection fees?"
Xu Mu glanced at Lu Xueyao.
"Brother Xu Mu! I hate bullying people the most. I've been bullied for so many years."
Lu Xueyao shook her head vigorously. "I won't let them do such things. Currently, we make money from the billiard hall, the small bar, and the chess and card room."
"Reward and punishment should go hand in hand. Otherwise, these people will cause trouble for you sooner or later. Hand over the one million yuan you got and share it with them later. You should take at least half to let them know who the boss is."
As Xu Mu spoke, he opened the storage space behind him and took out five gold bars, each weighing 100 grams, a total of 500 grams.
He handed them to Lu Xueyao and stuffed them into her hand.
"Brother Xu Mu, what are you doing?"
Lu Xueyao took a few steps back.
"You've helped me so much. I can't let you do it for free. Besides, I'm not short of this."
Xu Mu grabbed Lu Xueyao's hand and put the gold bars in her palm. "You're the big sister now. You should have something in hand to develop well."
[Favorability + 20]
"Fang Chu is such a bastard! Yesterday, he showed the face - swapped video to frame Brother Xu Mu. I knew he had bad intentions and didn't believe it at all!"
Lu Xueyao put the gold bars in her pocket and said angrily.
"What face - swapped video?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
Lu Xueyao briefly told him what had happened yesterday.
Xu Mu was secretly shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Fang Chu to be so persistent.
He had found all the videos of the previous villain Xu Mu beating people.
Needless to say, besides Lu Xueyao, Zhao Yingying and Li Yun should have also seen them.
Not everyone believes in themselves as much as Lu Xueyao does.
Because Fang Chu has a common excuse, which is that Xu Mu treats them well because he wants to have all of them.
Maybe the two of them will believe it.
