"You think just denying it will solve the problem? You really are way too naive!"
With a faint sneer, the man whose face was covered in cold smiles pulled out a sharp dagger.
Seeing that impossibly sharp dagger, Cui Dazhi’s eyelids twitched hard.
Putting on a fierce front while feeling weak inside, he shot them a look and deliberately raised his voice. "What do you think you’re doing? Believe it or not, I’ll call the police right now!"
They just shrugged indifferently and spoke in a calm tone.
"Suit yourself, but they’ll need some time to get here. You think you can hold out until they show up?"
After a brief silence, Cui Dazhi gritted his teeth and let out a powerless roar, "What exactly do you want? We don’t have any grudge between us, there’s no need for you to target me, right?"
"We’re not interested in targeting you. We just need you to tell us whether you’re Cui Dazhi or not."
"I am!"
Realizing there was no way to hide it anymore, Cui Dazhi gave up on pretending and answered directly.
Getting a definite answer, they let out a cold laugh. "See, you should’ve just admitted it earlier. You still remember what you did abroad, don’t you?"
"I did owe a bit of money, but it’s not like you had to chase me all the way here to grab me, right?"
Cui Dazhi glanced at them and sighed, somewhat speechless.
Back then, when he told Xiaobei those guys would come here to collect the debt, he was just trying to scare Xiaobei.
In his mind, there was no way those people would actually come all the way here for that little bit of money.
Yet somehow, they really did show up.
And they came pretty fast, too.
They shot Cui Dazhi a look, faces full of mockery.
"’A bit of money’? We’re talking several million here! You think a few million is pocket change? Since that’s how you see it, then hand over the money now so we can go back and report in."
"I..."
Hearing that mockery, Cui Dazhi opened his mouth.
But his words dried up; nothing came out.
Because forget a few million—he couldn’t even pull a few hundred out of his pocket right now.
...
"Damn it, if I’d known, I never would’ve gone crazy borrowing money back then!"
Right now, Cui Dazhi regretted it to death...
But he knew it was too late for regret...
Back then he figured he could just up and run anytime, that’s why he dared to borrow several million.
Now that the debt collectors had come knocking, he was completely panicking.
"Looks like you don’t have a few million to pay us back. In that case, you’re coming back with us and giving a proper explanation."
Seeing Cui Dazhi fall silent, they gave a cold snort and grabbed hold of him.
Before they came, they hadn’t expected Cui Dazhi to be able to pay anyway.
The main purpose of this trip was to drag him back.
Snapped out of it as they grabbed him, Cui Dazhi said, "Don’t take me back, don’t take me back, I’m begging you."
He cast them a fearful look as he spoke...
He knew that once he went back with them this time, he’d never get another chance to return.
"Don’t want to come back with us? Then how are we supposed to answer to our boss?"
They sneered and tightened their grip on Cui Dazhi...
Pinned down, Cui Dazhi glanced at them, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he blurted, "I can pay you back. I can pay you back."
"You’re not messing with us?"
"No, of course not!"
"Then take out the money."
Awkwardly shaking his head, Cui Dazhi hurriedly explained, "I don’t have it on me right now, but I have a very powerful friend in Xiaohe Village. You come with me to Xiaohe Village, he’ll definitely give you the money."
"Really?"
"Yeah, absolutely real!"
