"Kid, if you want to see the IOU, that's fine, but you have to show some sincerity first," Wu Liang said as he finally noticed Lin Feng.
"Alright, just wait a moment, and I'll show you my sincerity," Lin Feng replied with a smile directed at Wu Liang.
After saying that, Lin Feng turned to the group and said, "You all wait here; I'll go to the car to get the money."
Just as he was about to leave, Meng Li stepped forward, grasped Lin Feng's hand, and said, "Lin Feng, be careful." After watching for so long, she understood what had happened. Now that she saw Lin Feng planning to take on the situation himself, she felt a bit worried.
Of course, she wasn't trying to stop Lin Feng; she just hoped he would be cautious in handling things.
"Hehe... Meng Jie, don't worry. I'll be back soon," Lin Feng reassured her while patting her slightly tense hand.
He then glanced at He Ting, who rarely showed concern but now had a worried expression on her face. Lin Feng nodded at her and said, "You stay here and keep an eye on these people; I'll be back quickly."
Saying he was going to get money from the car was actually just an excuse to find a discreet place to retrieve the cash from the magic ring. A few thousand could easily be pretended to be pulled from his clothing pockets without raising suspicion, but several hundred thousand would be too illogical.
Once at the car, he easily retrieved three hundred thousand from the magic ring. Lin Feng didn't plan on repaying the thirty thousand owed to the usurers; it would be good enough if he could return just the principal. However, since he had plenty of money, it was better to have some extra on hand in case anything happened later.
The only problem was that after searching the entire car, Lin Feng realized there wasn't a single leather bag or briefcase available to hold the money.
In the end, with no other options, Lin Feng had no choice but to put the money back into the magic ring. He got out of the car and went to a small shop in the hospital to buy two black plastic bags since one was too thin and he feared it might tear on the way.
Finally, holding a plastic bag containing three hundred thousand, Lin Feng walked into the ward.
Fortunately, those collecting from the usurers were relatively patient and did not cause a scene.
Of course, it could also be because of He Ting being here.
"Wow..." Lin Feng poured the money onto a table amidst the confused gazes of everyone, a total of three hundred thousand, all in cash. For an average person, this was quite shocking.
At first, everyone thought Lin Feng was just carrying a plastic bag with something he bought, not realizing it was filled with money.
Can a plastic bag really hold money? Aren't they afraid it will spill?
This reflects a common psychological habit; people often associate plastic bags with various items, many of which are much heavier than money. But how could they spill so easily?
It's just that money is too important in the eyes of ordinary people, so they naturally think that money shouldn't be casually placed in a plastic bag.
Well, regardless of what others think, now that Lin Feng has dumped the money on the table, everyone no longer has to worry about it spilling.
Although they usually collect Usury, these days, there are more debtors than collectors. So when those thugs saw so much cash, their eyes widened.
They might dare to set any price, but seeing three hundred thousand all at once was something they had never encountered before.
Even those who collect Usury were taken aback; Aunt Chen and her daughter were left speechless for a moment.
They never expected Lin Feng would actually take out three hundred thousand. It wouldn't matter if he was young and wealthy; perhaps he didn't think much of thirty thousand. However, the fact that Lin Feng took out this amount to help them was truly touching.
Before long, both mother and daughter were wiping away their tears.
They really didn't expect that someone they had never met before, Lin Feng, would help them like this.
Her emotions were stabilized by Meng Li. After Lin Feng took out the money, he said to Wu Liang, "How about it? Is this sincere enough? Bring me the IOU."
"Enough, enough! Hehe... Little brother, you look like a young man with wealth. I misjudged you earlier; I hope you won't hold it against me," Wu Liang would never say it wasn't enough. Although he was tempted by Xiao Na's beauty, someone like him had no real feelings. Now that he saw the money, he naturally gave up on his intentions toward Xiao Na.
"Since I can't have Xiao Na now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's take the money first," Wu Liang thought to himself while speaking to Lin Feng.
As he handed over the IOU to Lin Feng, his eyes were fixed on the pile of money, thinking that soon it would be his, and he felt ecstatic.
Originally, saying that twelve thousand would quickly turn into thirty thousand was just a casual remark to make things difficult for Aunt Chen and her daughter. He didn't expect there would actually be a fool willing to pay.
Seeing Wu Liang's demeanor, Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer inwardly. With such a person, if it weren't for considering the safety of Xiao Na and her mother in the future, he would have beaten him up and torn up the IOU long ago instead of giving him money.
However, now that he was preparing to repay the money, Lin Feng also had no intention of letting him take advantage.
How could Feng Shao's benefits be taken so easily?
After taking the IOU, Lin Feng looked at it and then showed it to Aunt Chen, saying, "Aunt Chen, take a look. Is this the one?" One must always be cautious, especially with someone like Wu Liang; Lin Feng needed to confirm clearly.
Receiving the IOU from Lin Feng's hand, Aunt Chen examined it carefully and said to Lin Feng, "This is definitely the one. I often see this IOU in my dreams; I remember it clearly—it's this one."
That despicable usurer was driving people crazy; even in dreams, there was no peace.
"Alright, it's confirmed. This is the one," Lin Feng said as he took back the IOU and addressed Wu Liang.
Wu Liang finally felt relieved. In his view, as long as Lin Feng confirmed that this IOU was indeed the original one, then wouldn't the money be his?
"Wu Liang, listen up. You have two options: one is to take the twelve thousand and walk away; I'll pretend I never saw you collect usury. The second option is to take the three hundred thousand, but once you do, Captain He will arrest you, and you'll have to pay me back in prison. Choose!" Lin Feng said sternly, holding the IOU in his hand as he faced Wu Liang.
For everyone else, this might have seemed abrupt, but for Lin Feng, it was all part of the plan. Getting back the principal was already a win. Although debts must be repaid, Aunt Chen's compensation for emotional distress was still money, so it could be considered offset against the interest.
"You... it seems you have bad intentions!" Wu Liang finally understood Lin Feng's meaning and rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
"Don't move! Police!" Just as Lin Feng was also preparing to strike back, a pleasant voice suddenly rang out at the door of the hospital room—the police had arrived.
Of course, "pleasant" was from Lin Feng's perspective. Wu Liang's face turned pale at that moment.
For the first time, Wu Liang found himself in such a predicament.
What a damn embarrassment.
Lin Feng glanced at He Ting; this turn of events completely caught him off guard. He had thought that either Wu Liang would compromise or he would have to force him to do so before handing him over to He Ting. He never expected the police to show up before any action was taken.
"I sent a text for someone to come," He Ting explained, seeing Lin Feng's surprised expression.
"He Team, Wu Liang has been apprehended. What do you think?" After a while, a capable young officer approached He Ting and said.
"Wu Liang, you had your chance but didn't cherish it. Now you have no choice," He Ting said as he walked over to Wu Liang.
Looking at the room full of police officers, Wu Liang had no choice but to lower his head in acceptance. Any further struggle would just lead to charges of assaulting an officer—he still had some sense left.
"He Ting, well done!" Lin Feng walked over and patted He Ting on the shoulder like a buddy.
How infuriating it was, seeing the admiration in the eyes of all the police officers in the room. Incredible! Brother, you are the first person brave enough to put your arm around Captain He and call him brother.
"Lin Feng, if you don't take your hand away, I'm going to draw my gun." He Ting truly had no way to deal with Lin Feng. She knew that if she tried to subdue him now, he might just turn the tables on her, and that would be embarrassing.
He Ting admitted that she couldn't match Lin Feng's skills.
"Whoa... misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Lin Feng quickly withdrew his hand. If he provoked this fierce woman, she really might pull out her gun.
Although Lin Feng wasn't afraid of guns, at least drawing one indicated her attitude, right? He had to give her some face.
"Alright, here is 120,000 yuan. This is an IOU. Debts must be repaid. Please help Aunt Chen settle this debt; I’ll leave this matter to you." After joking around, Lin Feng took out 120,000 yuan from the table and handed it to He Ting along with the IOU. She was the most suitable person to handle this matter.
"Mr. Lin, this isn't good, is it?" Aunt Chen felt that since the police had arrived, it would be better for her to repay the money herself, so she said to Lin Feng.
"Aunt Chen, just call me Lin Feng. Actually, I just wanted to indulge in being a creditor for a bit. Who you owe money to is still a debt. From now on, I’m your creditor. Don’t worry; I won’t charge interest." Lin Feng had already thought out what to say and spoke to Aunt Chen.
"Sigh... well then, thank you. I’ll write you an IOU later. Lin Feng, you’re such a good kid." Aunt Chen accepted Lin Feng's words; after all, repaying Lin Feng was just like repaying a debt without any fear.
"Ha ha... let’s skip the IOU part, but you must repay me within twenty or thirty years; otherwise, I might have to take measures." Lin Feng casually joked about repayment. He didn’t take it seriously; he considered it a good deed.
This remark amused everyone.
"Aunt Chen, don’t praise him too much. Let’s skip the IOU; I’ll testify that if he dares to go back on his word in the future, I’ll personally arrest him." He Ting felt uneasy seeing Aunt Chen praise Lin Feng and walked over to say this while giving Lin Feng a fierce glare.
"Uh, He Team, may I ask quietly—what gives you the right to arrest me? I’m a fine young man in society." Lin Feng completely ignored He Ting's threat and spoke with righteous indignation, causing everyone in the room to burst into laughter again.
"You... you return my Motorcycle." He Ting was initially taken aback by Lin Feng's question, but then recalled how Lin Feng had driven her beloved motorcycle off a cliff, and she said fiercely.
"Uh... I didn't mean to." When it came to the Motorcycle, Lin Feng truly had no excuse and weakly replied.
After the police left, Meng Li had to get back to work. Lin Feng had no choice but to leave his phone number with Meng Li and Xiao Na, then left with He Ting, who wanted to discuss the issue of compensating for the motorcycle.
Throwing the remaining money into the back seat, Lin Feng originally intended to leave some money for Aunt Chen to help with her recovery. "Do good to the end," he thought. However, Aunt Chen repeatedly refused, and finally Meng Li mentioned that Aunt Chen's illness wasn't serious and she would recover soon. So Lin Feng decided to take the money back.
Helping others should be done appropriately; it shouldn't feel like charity, as that would defeat the purpose of helping.
Once inside the car, He Ting took the wheel again. It seemed like she hadn't driven in a while and was eager to get behind the wheel. Lin Feng was tired after driving all day, so it worked out well for them.
"I say, Captain He, how are we going to discuss this?" Lin Feng shifted into a comfortable position and asked He Ting.
"Let's not talk about it just yet; let's go to a hot pot restaurant and discuss it slowly," He Ting replied without rushing into the conversation.
It seemed that Captain He was hungry.
"Alright then, let's go." Lin Feng had recently developed quite an appetite. After getting into a fight earlier, he was also feeling hungry, so he decided to go along with her.
