The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 218 - 218 218 Repaying Debt with Flesh

218: Chapter 218: Repaying Debt with Flesh 218: Chapter 218: Repaying Debt with Flesh Zhonghai, outside a Star Hotel, Lin Fei was leisurely puffing clouds of smoke while Chen Di hung his head, getting scolded.

“Chen Di, you’ve really grown some guts, huh?

A meal costing over thirty thousand, why don’t you just die!” No need to ask, the only one who could make Chen Di, the spokesperson of the Azure Dragon Army, hang his head like this and scold him so mercilessly, had to be the fierce policewoman, Chen Qi.

Indeed, that was the case.

The young woman standing in front of Chen Di, wrapped tightly in her police uniform, arms akimbo, and a fierce look chilling enough to intimidate, who could it be if not Chief Chen?

“It’s not like I ate it all by myself.” Clearly, it was Chief Chen and Lin Fei who had dined together, but Chen Qi pinned the entire thirty thousand “meal expense” on Chen Di, how could Chen Di be satisfied?

“Shut your mouth!” Chief Chen obviously did not care about Chen Di’s complaint, she coldly rebuked him, her eyes sharp as ice, “Tell me the truth, besides eating, what else did you do in there?!”

You couldn’t blame Chen Qi for suspecting Chen Di and Lin Fei had been up to some improper antics in the hotel.

After all, that thirty thousand “meal expense” coming out of her, Chief Chen’s, pocket really hurt.

To think of Chief Chen, who had struggled her way up since graduating from the police academy to finally reach the position of detective captain.

Her monthly salary was only four to five thousand, and Lin Fei and Chen Di had just casually blown half a year of her salary on a single meal.

“Big sis, what do you think your brother-in-law and I are capable of?!

Even if you don’t trust me, don’t you trust your brother-in-law?!” Hearing the implications in Chen Qi’s words, Chen Di, initially hanging his head receiving the scolding, immediately felt dissatisfied, lifting his head to retort.

“Asshole, who told you he was your brother-in-law!” Chen Di repeatedly calling him ‘brother-in-law’ left Chen Qi utterly embarrassed.

“When I visited your house, it was Uncle who told me.” His own family’s embarrassment truly made Chen Di quite baffled.

“Well, you guys keep talking, it’s getting late, I think I’ll head back first.” Seeing that the “fire” was about to spread to him, Lin Fei wisely prepared to clear the scene.

The relationship between him and Chen Qi was obviously very hard for Chen Di to grasp in a moment.

Given Chen Di’s odd character, it wouldn’t be surprising if Chen Qi pressed him too hard and Chen Di ended up spilling about their intimate past.

When it got to that point, with Chen Qi furious and humiliated, he wouldn’t be able to leave even if he wanted to.

“Stop right there!”

Lin Fei’s idea to flee wasn’t too late, but apparently, Chen Qi wasn’t about to let him get away so easily.

Although Chen Qi was continually scolding Chen Di, she obviously hadn’t forgotten that Lin Fei had a share in that thirty thousand “meal expense.”

“Chief Chen, if I remember correctly, you promised me before.

As long as I helped you handle your parents, all the grievances between us would be wiped clean.

You wouldn’t be thinking of bringing up old scores now, would you?!” Seeing Chen Qi’s unfriendly expression, Lin Fei secretly heightened his alert and didn’t forget to preempt any thoughts she might have of reopening old wounds.

“You’re overthinking, grandma.

I’ve never been one to go back on my words.” Chen Qi had obviously not forgotten the agreement she had with Lin Fei.

“What, then, did Chief Chen want when he stopped me?”

“That’s right, sis, my husband and I haven’t done anything outrageous, why must you always—”

“Did I allow you to speak!” Chen Qi sharply scolded, cutting off Chen Di’s words, then coldly continued, “You guys can leave if you want, but the money I fronted for your meals, shouldn’t you pay me back?!”

“Sis, you know the situation.

My old man has been keeping me on a tight budget recently.

What am I supposed to pay you with?” Chen Qi had barely finished speaking when Chen Di couldn’t help but start complaining.

Originally, Lin Fei thought it odd that Chen Di, who drove a Hummer, couldn’t even produce the amount for several thousand yuan of “meal expenses.” From Chen Di’s words, Lin roughly figured out that this cheap brother-in-law wasn’t trying to intentionally trick him, Lin the great official.

Instead, he was just short on cash, and his wallet had shrunk.

“Can we wait a few days to pay it back?” In truth, it wasn’t just Chen Di who was short on cash and drying up his wallet.

Lin the great official, though he had swindled Fang Wenxi out of fifty million yuan not long ago, had it donated away by President Mo.

Thirty thousand yuan, though it seemed not much, was still an amount Lin the great official couldn’t produce at the moment.

“Cut the crap, if you two don’t pay up today, neither of you is leaving!” Half a year’s salary had vanished just like that; to say it wasn’t painful would definitely be a lie.

However, what dissatisfied Chief Chen the most was that Lin Fei and Chen Di, these two men closely related to her, had actually dared to ignore her while drinking.

“Sis, if I tell you what my brother-in-law has been up to, can we consider the debt settled?” While speaking, Chen Di slowly walked toward Chen Qi, blatantly ignoring Lin Fei.

“Sis, here’s what happened…” After Chen Di approached Chen Qi, he began to whisper in her ear, occasionally pointing and gesturing towards Lin Fei.

Although Chen Di’s voice was too low for Lin Fei to fully hear what was being said between Chen Di and Chen Qi, the expressions Chen Di occasionally gave Lin Fei, along with the increasingly hostile gaze from Chen Qi when she looked at him, were enough for Lin to arrive at a conclusion.

Chen Di had sold him out!

“What’s with the injuries on your face?!” After Chen Di finished whispering to Chen Qi, the chilled expression on Chen Qi’s face prompted her to ask.

Although Chief Chen was inquiring about Chen Di, her eyes, which seemed to gather endless murderous intent, were fixed on Lin Fei.

From her look, it seemed she might charge at Lin Fei and fight him at any moment.

“Sis, as you know, I’ve been upright since childhood and can’t stand shady behavior.

When my brother-in-law brought people into the room, I was right there resolutely trying to stop him.

But, no matter what, he wouldn’t listen to me.

I got heated and scolded him a bit, and then…

then he hit me.”

Chen Di’s expression was as pitiful as one could imagine.

It felt like two tears were about to be squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.

Paired with the green and purple bruises on his face, it did have a persuasive effect.

“You may leave,” Chen Qi said to Chen Di’s pathetic face, evidently not paying much attention to it.

Because Chen Di’s earlier whisper had almost made her explode.

After Chen Di finished speaking, Chen Qi indicated that he could scram.

As if granted a pardon, Chen Di threw Lin Fei a look that suggested he fend for himself, and without another word, he turned, got into the car, and fled.

“Little brat, don’t let me see you again!” Although Lin Fei wasn’t clear about everything Chen Di had said to Chen Qi, from Chen Qi’s eyes that seemed ready to flay him alive, Lin Fei could guess with his toes that nothing good was said between Chen Di and Chen Qi.

However, at this moment, Lin Fei could only curse Chen Di in his mind; settling scores would clearly have to wait for another time.

Before settling scores with Chen Di, Lin Fei needed to deal with Chief Chen, who was striding toward him, as if she wished she could kill him with her stare.

“All I can say is that I’m innocent.”

“Then explain to me, the other morning when I called you, what was that woman’s moaning about on the phone!

Were you at some hotel then too?!”

Women are naturally vengeful and jealous, and even a fierce policewoman like Chen Qi is no exception.

“That— that was a misunderstanding.”

Lin Fei clearly hadn’t forgotten the night of passion with Gu Lanzi at the hotel and how he had forced her to moan over the phone for Chen Qi to hear.

However, that was something Lin Fei couldn’t just explain to Chen Qi in a moment.

Lin Fei’s lack of explanation only strengthened Chen Di’s credibility in sowing discord, and immediately, Chen Qi’s already cold eyes became even more menacing.

If looks could kill, Lin Fei would undoubtedly be dead.

“‘Misunderstanding’?!” Chen Qi scoffed and her handcuffs suddenly appeared, “Since it’s a ‘misunderstanding,’ then you surely won’t mind coming back to the station with me to explain things clearly.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qi violently sprang into action, her long, jade legs whip up a chilling wind, aiming a kick straight at Lin Fei’s face.

Damn, these bizarre siblings!

Seeing that Chen Qi had no intention of listening to his explanation, not only wanting to handcuff him but also resorting to kicks, Lin Fei, beside himself with frustration, quickly subdued her.

“Bastard, let me go!”

Chen Qi, still seething, was subdued by Lin Fei before she could retaliate, and she was far from willing to let it go.

Click!

As Chen Qi was holding in her anger, Lin Fei had no intention of letting her go.

Without further ado, he snatched Chen Qi’s handcuffs, twisted her arms behind her back, and handcuffed her.

Slap!

“That’s for being biased.”

Slap!

“That’s for not seeing things clearly.”

Slap!

“That’s for not listening.”

Slap!

“That’s for having such a perky ass!”

…

After several slaps, Lin Fei had Chen Qi completely dazed.

It took a while for Chen Qi to regain her senses, her pretty oval face flushed, her beautiful eyes filled with humiliation and anger, “Lin Fei, you—”

Slap!

“What ‘you’?

Did I say you could talk?

Dare to say another word!”

Lin Fei ruthlessly interrupted Chen Qi, and since she hadn’t given him a chance to explain earlier, Lin Fei certainly felt no need to let her speak now.

Seeing that Chen Qi was momentarily quieted down by his blows, Lin Fei hoisted the woman up and headed straight for the hotel, saying on the way, “You were telling me to pay you back just now.

I don’t have any money.

But I’ve thought about it, since I’ve spent your money on food, I can repay you in kind!”
