Chapter 355: Chapter 355
In a private club within a Chinese-style garden, the exterior was peaceful and elegant, but inside it was bustling and lively.
The club’s decorations were extremely luxurious, with crystal chandeliers casting dazzling light, shining down on the faces of many immersed in pleasure and luxury.
The room was filled with a cacophony of noises, swirling smoke, and an intense card game.
Feng Peng, so fat he resembled a hippopotamus, donned a custom-made large-sized suit, sat at the card table.
His body almost filled the entire chair, forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, cheeks flushed with excitement and nervousness.
His eyes were fixed on the cards in his hand, as if trying to see through them with his gaze, his fingers pale from exertion.
"Damn it, such garbage cards!"
Another round ended, and he slammed the cards onto the table heavily, accompanied by a string of curses, scattering chips everywhere on the table.
"Damn, I’m really jinxed lately!"
Feng Peng cursed, his voice echoing in the private room.
His obese body trembled slightly with anger, hands pounding the table forcefully, causing the tea cups on the table to shake along.
He stood up, kicked the chair in front of him aside, finally giving up the extravagant hope of turning the tide today.
His subordinate nearby noticed and hurriedly approached, cautiously comforting him.
"Damn, let’s rest for two days and come back next week. I can’t believe my luck will stay this bad!"
Feng Peng fumed as he and his subordinate walked out of the private club.
The evening cool breeze hit his face; he wrapped his luxury custom-made suit tighter, still mumbling incessantly.
Just then, a black business car sped over, stopping steadily in front of them, blocking their path.
Seeing this, Feng Peng, already furious, had his anger instantly ignited, having nowhere to vent and now being blocked by the car, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Are you blind?! Can’t you see I’m here?!"
Feng Peng shouted at the business car, his chubby finger pointing forcefully at the car, causing his facial fat to shake along.
Meanwhile, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing a face familiar to Feng Peng.
It was Bald Cat, the one who frequently lent money in Tianhai, known as Brother Cat.
Bald Cat was short, bald-headed, yet had a face full of horizontal flesh, his eyes squinted into slits, exuding a chilling shrewdness.
Feng Peng’s heart tightened at the sight of Bald Cat, and his originally arrogant demeanor instantly diminished.
Bald Cat was the one he borrowed money from, not long ago he had borrowed a large sum from him.
"President Feng, in such a bad mood?" Bald Cat said with a sarcastic smile.
Feng Peng’s face was a bit unnatural, squeezing his flesh together, calming his anger, pretending to be tranquil: "Oh, it’s Bald Cat. Just lost a bit of money earlier, that’s all."
"Losing money is a small matter, repaying debt is big." Bald Cat said slowly, his eyes staring directly at Feng Peng.
Feng Peng’s expression slightly changed, then confidently waved his hand: "Don’t worry, a week, just one week, I’ll definitely repay the money."
He knew Bald Cat recognized his status and knew his backing was Gu Zhenbang, so wouldn’t push him too hard, as usual, he planned to brush it off.
However, Feng Peng’s thought quickly shattered.
Bald Cat not only didn’t move his car but also the rear window of the business car slowly rolled down, revealing an unfamiliar face.
Soon, the car door opened, and this person stepped off the car, extremely tall and burly.
His figure was like a small mountain, a whole head taller than Feng Peng.
Facing this man, Feng Peng secretly startled, inexplicably feeling a huge pressure from him.
Feng Peng’s subordinate saw this, realizing their intentions weren’t good, immediately tried to intervene.
However, before he could get close, the burly man blocked him, his stout arms seemed forged from steel, rendering him immobile.
Seeing this, Feng Peng was shocked, his face turning ugly, immediately turned to Bald Cat in the front seat, and asked in a low voice: "Bald Cat, isn’t it just borrowing some money? What do you mean by this?" Content originally comes from ⓝovelFire.net
Bald Cat did not answer, only shrugged his shoulders, nodded towards the burly man, seemingly saying the other party called the shots today.
Seeing Bald Cat’s demeanor, Feng Peng further astounded, turned, and took a closer look at the burly man.
The burly man lightly looked down at Feng Peng, his tone cold and calm: "President Feng, my boss wants to invite you for a chat."
Feng Peng asked with a face full of suspicion, alertly: "Who is your boss? What does he want from me?"
Speaking, he simultaneously turned to Bald Cat, hoping to get answers from him.
Bald Cat, seeing the other’s fright, finally smiled, explaining: "President Li wants to meet you, not necessarily a bad thing. Just follow along."
Without waiting for Feng Peng’s reply, Bald Cat turned to the burly man, respectfully asking: "Brother Liang, now that we’ve found President Feng, shall we proceed?"
This burly man was Ah Liang.
Yesterday, after Li Jing obtained information from Zhang Ling about Feng Peng’s love for gambling, he called Bald Cat.
It turned out Bald Cat not only knew Feng Peng but also had lent him money, which facilitated Li Jing’s plan considerably.
This was also the reason Ah Liang and Bald Cat were present here.
Ah Liang did not answer Bald Cat, only looked at Feng Peng with cold eyes, waiting for him to get in the car.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Peng eventually, under Ah Liang’s strong gaze, nervously got into the car.
The car slowly started, quickly disappearing into the night.
The night was falling.
