Chapter 621: Chapter 622 Settling Accounts

"You’ve taken on the debt?" The two debt collectors were eyeing Song Xiaodong at this moment, with a hint of pleasure in their eyes. They were all about the money, and as long as someone was paying up, they didn’t care much about the details.

"Indeed," Song Xiaodong said indifferently.

"Alright, then pay up, two hundred and eighty thousand!" one of the youngsters said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ya immediately shouted, "Wasn’t it two hundred and fifty thousand? How did it become two hundred and eighty thousand?"

One of the wiry, sharp-chinned guys said in a mocking tone, "That was the day before yesterday when I told you, it’s been two more days now, of course the interest is more."

"You... you..." Sun Ya pointed at them, then turned to Miao Xuanxuan and said, "Xuanxuan, thank you, but you guys had better get going. I can handle this by myself."

Miao Xuanxuan immediately responded, "What are you talking about? You’re in trouble, how can I not care? Don’t worry, with Dongzi here, it’s no big deal."

Seeing Miao Xuanxuan’s confident demeanor, hope rose in Sun Ya’s heart. Who would want to carry high-interest debt forever? If this issue could be resolved, then even if she had to repay Miao Xuanxuan with future earnings, at least the pressure wouldn’t be as intense.

By this time, Song Xiaodong spoke in a leisurely manner, "She owes you two hundred and eighty thousand, right?"

"Exactly!" the sharp-chinned guy nodded, lifting his chin.

Song Xiaodong nodded, "Alright, then two hundred and eighty thousand it is."

The two guys were immediately elated. They had been prepared for an unorthodox resolution to this debt, never expecting a sucker to come along offering money.

"However..." Song Xiaodong’s tone shifted, and his face suddenly turned steely, "My friend got slapped by you and had her hair pulled. How do we settle that account?"

The two guys were momentarily stunned, and the sharp-chinned one glared, "So what if she got slapped? What the fuck does that count for?"

Song Xiaodong snickered coldly, "You think it doesn’t count just because you say so? That slap, I value at two hundred thousand, pulling hair at one hundred thousand, plus damages for emotional distress, I value at five hundred thousand. Alright, that’s a total of eight hundred thousand. Subtract the two hundred and eighty thousand she owes you, and you owe fifty-two thousand. Then we’re even."

After Song Xiaodong finished speaking, Sun Ya was stunned. This was a high-interest loan company, which always forced others to repay money, and now Miao Xuanxuan’s boyfriend was making such bold demands, coming here to demand money from them.

The two guys were shocked as well, staring at Song Xiaodong, before regaining their wits after a long moment. One rolled his eyes, "Kid, are you fucking kidding me?"

Song Xiaodong looked at them coldly, "Do you think I am here to joke?"

The two had an odd look on their faces, then exchanged glances before bursting into laughter. The sharp-chinned guy stopped laughing, "Fuck, you’re pretty ballsy, kid. Okay then, according to company procedures, you give us the two hundred and eighty thousand first, then we’ll discuss compensation for the slapping."

The other, still laughing, said, "Right, right, these are two separate issues. Debt repayment comes first, then we can discuss compensation for the assault."

"Shut up!" Song Xiaodong suddenly shouted coldly, "You now have ten minutes to give me a satisfactory answer, or I will dismantle your company."

Miao Xuanxuan chimed in from the side, "Dongzi, why waste words with these scum? Just tear down their company and be done with it."

Song Xiaodong’s shout froze the two men’s faces. Especially when they saw Song Xiaodong’s sharp gaze, they finally understood that he wasn’t there for a joke; he was serious.

"Kid, open your fucking eyes. This is Jinyun Company. You dare to stir up trouble here; do you think your life is too long?"

"That’s just asking for death. Laozi only need to shout once, and the twenty-something guys inside the company would beat you into a meat patty."

Seeing the two men suddenly become vicious, Sun Ya quickly pulled Miao Xuanxuan aside with a woeful expression and said, "Xuanxuan, I know you mean well, but we really can’t afford to provoke them. I’m already in this state, and you guys can’t get involved because of me."

"Damn it, even if they want to back out now, it’s too late. Daring to strut around here as if they own the place, do they really think Jinyun Company is their home? Kid, I’m telling you, either pay back the money right now, and you can leave in one piece, or keep up this act, and you’ll be carried out horizontally."

"There are nine minutes left," Song Xiaodong said indifferently.

"Dammit! Are you really timing this? Are you crazy in the head?"

"This is just an idiot."

As the two mocked Song Xiaodong with glaring eyes, Song Xiaodong said indifferently again: "Eight minutes."

"Fuck your mother! Get him!"

When they heard Song Xiaodong keeping time, it was a tremendous insult to the two men accustomed to browbeating others into paying debts. Unable to take this humiliation, they roared and charged at Song Xiaodong with clenched fists.

Sun Ya suddenly cried out in alarm, her feelings indescribable at that moment, grateful for their help yet regretful she hadn’t sent them away sooner, and frustrated with their recklessness. Were they not pushing themselves into the fire?

Thump thump!

After two muffled sounds, there was the clatter of overturned tables and chairs, and Sun Ya didn’t dare to look.

"Great!" Miao Xuanxuan then shouted out loud.

Sun Ya hesitated for a moment then opened her eyes to see that the two debt collectors were struggling to get up from the ground, while Song Xiaodong was still standing there, seemingly not having moved at all.

Sun Ya’s eyes widened in shock, her expression stunned, while Miao Xuanxuan pulled at her arm, saying, "Now you see, with Dongzi here, he’ll surely get justice for you."

"Five minutes," Song Xiaodong said indifferently once more.

"You... kid, you just wait," the two debt collectors got up but dared not fight back. The sharp-faced one pointed at Song Xiaodong with a facade of bravado but inner trepidation, then hurriedly rushed out.

At this moment, Sun Ya came back to her senses, quickly saying, "You guys need to leave now!"

Miao Xuanxuan replied, "Leave? We’re here to help you settle the score."

Sun Ya stamped her foot, anxiously saying, "Settle what score? They aren’t easy to deal with, there are a lot of them, and all desperados. If they come swarming over, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to."

Miao Xuanxuan smiled faintly and said, "We didn’t plan to run anyway. Xiaodong, you have to perform well today; I’ll reward you tonight."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Deal! For your reward, I’ll teach them a lesson today!"

Had some rest in the afternoon, lying in bed writing a bit, feeling slightly better in the evening, there will be another Chapter before ten o’clock, and by the way, recommending a new book, "My Innocent Female Landlord".
