Plan Starts, Pay Back or Go to Jail

In Jianghai City, outside the glamorous Starlight KTV.

Gu Yan looked up at the luxurious KTV venue before him.

A snippet of the original plot in the novel spontaneously arose in his mind.

That was a plot conceived by the original author, aiming to introduce Shen Tian, the younger brother of Shen Wan'er.

The plot revolved around Leng Ling'er and her friends planning on going to Starlight KTV for karaoke after school.

However, upon their arrival, they found that the good friend who invited them was being aggressively force-fed alcohol by Shen Tian.

Leng Ling'er and her group were immediately outraged, and a fight ensued with Shen Tian.

It wasn't until the police arrived that the battle ended.

Shen Wan'er, being aware of her brother's dubious character but not wanting him to suffer, sought Gu Yan, asking him to find the girls.

An apology from her brother would suffice, she claimed.

However, before Gu Yan could find the girls.

In a matter of days, Shen Tian was found horrifically dead at home, his face skinned.

Gu Yan sighed lightly, his recollections concluding.

Previously unbeknownst to him, it was only after understanding the further plot that he figured out the origins of Leng Ling'er's end.

Due to Shen Tian's death, Shen Wan'er was led to the brink of a loss of sanity.

Interestingly, that was when the protagonist of the original work, Xiao Lin, made his appearance.

He stayed by Shen Wan'er's side.

Learning about Shen Wan'er's ordeal, an infuriated Xiao Lin swore to find the perpetrator and avenge her.

There was a decent probability that Shen Tian's death was due to Leng Qingqiu, although Gu Yan was unsure of the method used.

However, the subsequent death of Leng Ling'er was blamed entirely on Shen Wan'er's resentment over her brother's death aimed at Leng Ling'er.

In order to avenge his partner, Xiao Lin chose to kill Leng Ling'er.

No wonder the original author had dedicated an entire section to the plot between Leng Ling'er and Shen Tian.

Clearly, it was to facilitate a thorough vilification of Leng Qingqiu.

Nonetheless, seeing as he has arrived, he can't allow this situation to eventuate.

Furthermore, he had already thought of a way to prevent this situation from spiraling out of his control.

With this thought, he turned to Old Gao by his side, "Let’s go, Old Gao."

"Yes, Young Master."

After this, Old Gao signaled to the people behind him, "Move! Follow the Young Master in!"

Next moment.

Sounds of commotion.

Dozens of people in black attire disembarked from their luxury cars, following Gu Yan into Starlight KTV.

...........

.........

Inside one of the private boxes.

“You certainly live up to your reputation, Brother Tian. Even the girlfriend of Starlight's boss has to accompany you for karaoke.”

“Haha, we are certainly basking in your glory, Brother Tian.”

Several men and women looked at the youth sitting in the seat of honor, offering flattering compliments.

The owner of Starlight stood to the side, smiling obsequiously at the defiant youth sitting on the sofa.

The young man looked frail, his complexion pale, as if drained by alcohol.

In his arms, he held a girl who looked like a student, her brows furrowed in resistance.

The girl showed visible distaste at the man's tight hold on her, especially the pungent smell of herbal liquor on him, almost making her vomit.

She turned to the bar owner in a plea, "Brother Tao..."

Seeing the look of entreaty from his newly made girlfriend, he felt helpless. Due to the identity of the person before him, he didn't dare offend him.

Left with no other choice, he could only smile awkwardly, "Little Wei, behave please, just for a moment, let Brother Tian hold you, it will be over soon."

Hearing this response, Little Wei's face turned incredibly unpleasant. She clenched her teeth, intending to get up from the man who was holding her, "Let me go! I want to go back!"

She had not expected that her new boyfriend would hand her over to a guest who came in to sing.

Does it even matter if their identities are extraordinary?

Sis can't tolerate this anymore!

"Hmm?"

Shen Tian saw the girl in his arms getting up, immediately looked unsatisfiedly at the bar boss, "Boss, is this your girlfriend's attitude in service?"

Upon hearing Shen Tian speak.

The rest of Shen Tian's friends also grabbed the women in their arms and reprimanded, "Jiang Tao, what sort of attitude does this little girlfriend of yours have! Apologize to our Brother Tian immediately!”

"Yeah, yeah, do you even know who our Brother Tian is! Offending Brother Tian, there's no chance of your Starlight thriving in Jianghai City!!”

"Absolutely, Jiang Tao, coming here today was to give you a chance, don't you dare miss this opportunity!"

Hearing this, Jiang Tao replied while apologizing hurriedly, "I'm sorry! I’m truly sorry! She's new here, doesn't know the rules."

The bar boss wipe his sweat, then turned and looked at Little Wei, disregarding whether she was his new girlfriend or not.

He directly walked up to her, pushing her back into place, "Little Wei! How can you be so ignorant! If you serve this master well, won't you have whatever you desire!?”

"Do you know who Brother Tian is? He is the young master of the Gu Family's uncle!"

The bar boss looked very weakly towards Little Wei.

Did this woman know the value of being associated with the Gu Family?

All that was needed was Shen Tian to say two good words in the ear of the young master of Gu Family after he goes back.

Then wouldn't their Starlight in Jianghai City be able to rise like a carp leaping over the dragon gate?!

It's not impossible to become the most luxurious KTV in Jianghai City with the passage of time!

However, upon hearing this, Little Wei was momentarily stunned.

The young master of the Gu Family's uncle?

In Jianghai City, who could be called the young master of the Gu Family other than that Lord of the Gu Family?

Although she had never seen what Gu Yan looked like, she had heard of his status in Jianghai City.

"Heard it, didn't you? I am Gu Yan's uncle, if you make me happy today.”

“Then whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Upon hearing the praises beside him, Shen Tian felt very satisfied. He was originally just a man idling about in society.

He accidentally learned that the young master of the Gu Family was pursuing his sister.

Consequently, he often took advantage of Gu Yan's name outside to act recklessly.

Of course, he looked down on Gu Yan.

After all, the way he grovels in front of his sister made him feel that the children of big families were just like that.

Moreover, whenever he is out of money, he would ask Gu Yan for it, and the latter would always hand over tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands considering Shen Wan'er's face.

It was enough for him to live a flashy life for several days.

Upon hearing this, Little Wei's face turned as white as a sheet, and she stopped struggling.

In Jianghai City, nobody dared to provoke the Gu Family.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also joined in the uproar, "Brother Tian is powerful! Brother Tian is domineering!"

"Even if the eldest son of the Gu Family comes, he must address our brother Tian as Master!"

"Yeah, I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family is nothing more than a puppy licking our Brother Tian's sister's feet!"

Shen Tian was very satisfied, he waved his hands: "Hey, don’t say that. Where does it leave the face of the elder son of the Gu Family?"

"Alright then!"

As Shen Tian spoke, he stood up with his glass of wine, and the others also raised their glasses and stood up to accompany him.

Seeing this, he waved his big hand satisfactorily: "I'm in a good mood today! I will pay for all of your expenses!"

"Brother Tian is mighty!"

"Brother Tian is domineering!"

"Brother Tian, you are great!"

A bunch of flatterers shouted in compliment.

However, the next second.

Boom! Clang!

The door of the private room was kicked open with great force, slamming into and sinking into the wall.

Then.

Old Gao walked in.

This scene made everyone on the scene stunned.

Followed by.

"Holy!"

Before Shen Tian could say anything, his gang of friends were unhappy one after another.

Crash!

They smashed their glasses and yelled: "Hey, old man! Who are you?"

"Do you know who we are? Daring to kick our door!"

"Are you tired of living!"

Old Gao frowned slightly.

He said lightly: "Let it be quiet here."

The next second.

Whoosh!

A group of men in black all surged in, and the private room was crammed full of people in an instant.

The few people who were originally talking turned pale instantly, and they understood that they had encountered people who were not easy to provoke.

One by one, they trembled: "Wait, sir, who are you?"

"Is there any misunderstanding with us?”

Shen Tian was even more scared, resting on the couch, pleading in a trembling voice: "Wait, I am Gu Yan's little uncle. You can't do this to me."

Old Gao heard it and laughed contemptuously: "Well, tell this to our young master later."

As soon as the voice fell.

Before Shen Tian and the others could react, they were all forcibly pressed to the ground by the men in black who rushed up.

The sound system was shut down by the men in black on the side.

The entire private room plunged into a quiet panic.

Shen Tian and his group were forcibly held down to the ground in a kneeling position by the black-suited bodyguards.

The men in black surrounded them in a circle.

Shen Tian looked extremely panicked. He didn't expect that Gu Yan's name was no longer useful.

What's going on.

Why is this happening? In the past, whenever they encountered trouble, they were able to resolve it by stating Gu Yan’s name.

"Young Master, everything has been dealt with."

Old Gao respectfully said outside.

"Um."

A voice responded from the outside, followed by a series of footsteps.

Recognizing the sound, Shen Tian looked up.

Only to see a very familiar figure slowly walking in through the door.

"Gu...Gu Yan!!!"

Shen Tian exclaimed in shock: "Are these all your people?!"

After that, his face turned incredibly pale.

He felt like he had been played.

Gu Yan entered with a calm face, glanced at everyone kneeling on the ground, and then fixed his gaze on Shen Tian. He walked over.

Then, under everyone's incredulous gaze.

Bang!!

"Ugh!!!”

Gu Yan ferociously kicked Shen Tian in the face with the inside of his boot.

All around were gasps and exclamations of shock.

"Gu Yan! What do you mean by this?"

Shen Tian cried out in pain, his face full of disbelief as he looked at Gu Yan.

Why, why was he daring to hit me?!

Isn't he afraid my sister would find out?!

Gu Yan’s cold, indifferent gaze sent a chill down Shen Tian’s spine. His voice was calm and emotionless, "What do I mean?"

“The point is, your good days, Shen Tian, have come to an end."

Saying this, he gestured with his hand.

A subordinate handed him a document.

Swish.

Gu Yan placed the contract in front of Shen Tian and said, “This document records all the money I've loaned you over the years, totaling 23.48 million.”

"If you can’t pay it back, you're likely to be charged with a major fraud offense and end up in jail for life."

“Also, you've misused my name to carry out nonsense, the crimes you've committed during this time are enough to land you in prison for a life sentence."

Shen Tian, struck dumb by these words, cried out in panic, "What are you talking about?! Gu Yan, didn't you give me that money?!"

“Lend?"

Gu Yan pondered for a moment, nonchalantly replying, “Every time you asked me for money, you used the word ‘borrow.’"

"The chat record is all there."

This left Shen Tian dumbfounded.

Man, you're so rich. I borrowed money from you out of courtesy. How come you’re actually asking me to pay it back?!

Moreover, as a second-generation rich kid, is it necessary for you to talk about the law with someone like me?! It seems like you're even planning to call the police?!

Can't you be a little generous?! Have you ever seen a spoiled rich kid resorting to the law and the police?

“I . . . I have no money,” Shen Tian stammered.

“Oh, then go to jail,” Gu Yan nodded, then got up to leave.

“Wait! Hold on! Brother-in-law! My brother-in-law!”

“My sister has money! I’ll let my sister pay you back!”

Shen Tian hastily shouted, for he was well aware of the situation. Wasn’t Gu Yan nothing but a loyal follower of his sister, likely annoyed because she had been ignoring him recently.

No, no, no. If Gu Yan stopped pursuing his sister, then he really had to go to jail?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan internally shook his head in amusement.

On the surface, he turned around calmly, and said indifferently, “Make sure Shen Wan'er sends the money to me within three days, or else you better get ready to spend the rest of your life in jail.”

Having heard these words, Shen Tian believed he understood Gu Yan’s intent.

At the same time, a sense of distress washed over him.

These people from affluent families were indeed not to be trifled with.

He had been under the impression that Gu Yan was nothing but a devoted follower of his sister, but it seems his patience had worn thin since she kept refusing him.

No, I must persuade my sister to hurry up and be with Gu Yan, for I can't stand to give up this lifestyle.

Giddily, he nodded his head, “Fine! I will make sure that my sister contacts you!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan waved his hand dismissively.

A group of black-clad bodyguards quickly let go of their hold on Shen Tian and his associates.

Though freed, the audacious looks on Shen Tian and the others were nowhere to be seen. Instead, they stood still, fear stricken.

The imposing aura from Gu Yan's side was indeed frightening.

At this moment, Gu Yan noticed the boss of Starlight, he looked towards him, the latter saw Gu Yan's gaze, and instantly lowered his head in fear.

"Young Master, that's the boss of Starlight, Jiang Tao."

Old Gao reminded from one side.

"Hmm."

Gu Yan nodded, then his face turned cold and he said, "I don't like this name. From today on, I don't want to hear the names Jiang Tao and Starlight in Jianghai City again."

"Yes, Young Master."

After Old Gao responded, he stepped aside, making a phone call.

Jiang Tao, looking pale as a ghost, thumped to his knees, thinking it's over, all over.

Little Wei huddled in the corner, shivering with fear. All the people here were subdued, except for her.

She looked at Gu Yan with a curious yet scared gaze.

Is this the reputed young master of the Gu Family?

Indeed very frightening...but also very impressive...

Coincidentally, at that moment, Gu Yan turned his eyes towards Little Wei, their eyes meeting.

She trembled, hurriedly lowering her head.

She's probably Leng Ling'er's sister who was force-fed alcohol.

Gu Yan thought to himself. Without speaking any further, he turned around and walked towards the exit, "Old Gao, you handle the rest."

"Yes, Young Master."

Old Gao nodded. He then asked, "Where do you intend to go next, Young Master?"

Brushing away with his hand, Gu Yan left Old Gao with a departing silhouette, his voice echoed, "I'll cook lunch for Qingqiu."

Old Gao, "........."
