Chapter 1504: Chapter 1504
"Spare me, spare me!"
At the sight of the situation, Zhao Tianhao was so scared he wet himself and cried out, "Even if you kill me now, you won’t be able to get those funds back. Keep me alive, and I can help you retrieve the money."
"Oh? How will you retrieve it?"
Liu Chai paused, glaring menacingly at Zhao Tianhao: "I also want to know who on earth had the audacity to make a move on my funds. Tell me, who are they?"
"This, I don’t even know who they are."
Zhao Tianhao opened his mouth, looking pitifully at Liu Chai: "The guy who stepped into the ring didn’t use a real name, he just said he was called ’I Will Win’. When the money was transferred, it was through special bank accounts, and we couldn’t track down the details of those people."
"Bastard, after all that talk it’s still nonsense. Why should I keep you around then?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tianhao immediately grew angry.
"There is, there is a way to find the money."
Zhao Tianhao quickly waved his hand, shouting excitedly: "Although I don’t know who the troublemakers are, I know the information about that new kingpin; he’s a freshman at Imperial University’s Medical College, named Hua Yingjie. I kept it on file."
"A student from Imperial University?"
Liu Chai frowned, knowing Imperial University was not a place to mess around with.
"Yes, as long as we find Hua Yingjie, we can pull out all the troublemakers, and then we can make them cough up the money."
Zhao Tianhao wiped a cold sweat, pledging confidently.
"Alright, I’ll give you one more chance. Find a way to bring me Hua Yingjie. When those people make a move, I’ll step in to resolve it."
Liu Chai nodded, his eyes flashing with cold light as he suddenly swung a knife at Zhao Tianhao’s ear.
Zhao Tianhao immediately clutched his bleeding ear, screaming in pain.
"I’ll spare your life this time, but there’s a price to pay; I’m taking an ear for now. If the money isn’t recovered, it will cost you your life."
Liu Chai discarded the steel knife, coldly warning.
"Thank you, Brother Chai, for sparing my life."
Zhao Tianhao covered his ear, hurriedly expressing his gratitude.
"Hmph, I’ll have the Dragon and Tiger brothers accompany you to find Hua Yingjie. One is a Four-star Martial Master, the other a Five-star Martial Master; even if you encounter those guys, you’ll have enough strength to handle it."
Liu Chai glanced at the two burly men in black, reminding them: "Remember, don’t kill anyone just yet, or we won’t recover the money."
The Dragon and Tiger brothers immediately stepped forward, responding respectfully.
In the hospital ward near Imperial University, Liu Xing and Liu Chen lay on the bed, faces ashen as they cried.
"What on earth happened? How did you end up ?"
A handsome young man with gold-rimmed glasses and long hair asked Liu Chen, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Vice Alliance Hierarch, you must stand up for us!"
Liu Chen looked sorrowfully at the Vice Alliance Hierarch: "There are a few arrogant guys among the current freshmen. They directly attacked Little Martial Arts and caused trouble at its base. We brothers tried to stop them, but we weren’t their match and our cultivation was crippled."
"I’ve heard about this, but what exactly happened?"
The young man adjusted his glasses, full of doubt: "Little Martial Arts is a hidden student organization at Imperial University, unknown to freshmen upon their arrival. How did they end up causing a scene there?"
"Brother Shan, it was my mess."
Liu Xing painstakingly moved his body, gritting his teeth: "There are a few martial artists among the new freshmen, but during military training, they broke the rules, twice assaulting instructors, and even threatening the counselor at the Business Management College. Under someone’s request, I went to teach them a lesson and to tell them to abide by Martial Artist rules at school, but I was ambushed and poisoned."
"Then I was taken back to the Little Martial Arts base to detoxify, and those punks followed, caused a large commotion, and that’s how we ended up ."
Liu Xing sighed miserably, his words a mix of truth and lies, ensuring that even if Han Shan investigated, he’d find nothing amiss.
"Unbelievable, these freshmen are just too arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Han Shan was immediately infuriated. Martial artists should live low-key lives in the city, especially at a sacred place like school. This was one of the reasons for the existence of Little Martial Arts, and who would’ve expected this batch of freshmen to be so audacious?
"Sorry, we’ve embarrassed Little Martial Arts."
Liu Chen couldn’t help but cry: "No one has ever caused such a major scene at Little Martial Arts before. We’ve been useless."
"Stop crying. I will personally confront those individuals. If they don’t give an explanation, I assure you their plight will be worse than yours."
Han Shan promised with certainty.
"Thank you, Brother Shan."
The Liu brothers hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
"You focus on recovering. I’ll handle your school leaves."
Han Shan nodded, then turned to leave.
Outside the ward, many members of Little Martial Arts stood in the corridor.
"Guan Yanqing, come with me, the rest, carry on with your tasks."
With a dark expression, Han Shan ordered, taking Guan Yanqing away from the hospital.
On the way, Han Shan questioned Guan Yanqing once again about what had happened.
Guan Yanqing wasn’t aware of the entire story, but could confirm a few aspects.
Indeed, there have recently been freshman martial artists at the school who attacked instructors, and it wasn’t just once. It was indeed those individuals who caused trouble at Little Martial Arts, severely injuring the Liu brothers and several other members.
"That’s the situation."
Guan Yanqing sat in the backseat of the taxi, nervously watching Han Shan in the front passenger seat: "Those guys are extremely arrogant, they didn’t take Little Martial Arts seriously at all, and even said if we wanted revenge, we should go find them."
"Pah, they don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Han Shan snorted coldly, scolding disdainfully: "These freshmen are local bullies, and now they act so arrogantly at Imperial University. They must be properly taught a lesson. Do you know their names?"
"Well... I only know one of them is named Tang Ming, a freshman at the Medical College, living in dorm room 137."
Guan Yanqing responded uncertainly.
"Does anyone from the organization live in Dormitory Number Four?"
Han Shan asked, frowning slightly.
"There are, but they’re all members with insufficient strength. After the freshman period, people like us generally move off-campus."
Guan Yanqing frowned: "If we send them to handle this, it’d just be asking for humiliation."
Han Shan nodded, coldly stating: "Currently, the dormitories are sealed. We can’t get in and we won’t force our way. Tomorrow, come with me to the Medical College. I want to see what this Tang Ming is capable of."
