Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Teaching You a Few Ways to Torture People

Elder Zheng was scared stiff.

He’d been held at the casino for the past two days and beaten several times. He’d pissed himself in fear.

The scene just before Wang Chenning’s arrival today had scared him half to death all over again.

If his daughter’s life was ruined because of him, dying a hundred times wouldn’t be enough to atone for it.

Thankfully, his daughter’s boyfriend had shown up and beaten these casino thugs into submission in an instant.

But to his surprise, Wang Chenning had no intention of taking him along. Instead, he told Yang Guomin and his buddies to "take good care of him" for a while.

"Qiuhang, Dad will never step into a casino again! Let your boyfriend take me with you!" Elder Zheng wailed. "Son-in-law, I was wrong! Please take me with you, or they’ll kill me."

Hearing her own father blurt out "son-in-law" in his desperation, Zheng Qiuhang’s face instantly turned red.

She stole a glance at Wang Chenning and was relieved to see his expression was unchanged.

Wang Chenning ignored Elder Zheng’s pleas. He kicked Yang Guomin hard and asked with a grin, "How did you guys usually collect debts?"

After letting out a pained cry from the kick, Yang Guomin obediently answered, "We’d send people to their house to collect, eat all their food, and then trash the place."

"That’s it?"

’This guy is a total psycho,’ Yang Guomin thought. But today, he was powerless to resist and could only continue his honest reply. "We’d also detain them, force their daughters or wives to sleep with us, or sell them off to others."

Wang Chenning kicked Yang Guomin hard again. "Still, that’s it? You don’t have any new tricks? What a bunch of losers!"

Yang Guomin started wailing again. He didn’t even want to live anymore; he just wanted to find a knife and slit his own throat.

He’d been in the game for over twenty years and had never suffered such humiliation.

"How about I teach you a method?" Wang Chenning pointed at Elder Zheng and said with a chuckle, "Tie his hands and feet, stuff him in a sack, and toss him into a river or the sea. Tie a few rocks or iron blocks to it for good measure. That way, he’ll never float to the surface."

Yang Guomin jumped in fright, staring at Wang Chenning in utter disbelief.

’Damn, Sir, you play rough,’ he thought. ’That’s the kind of play that gets people killed. He might have blood on his hands, but that was from many years ago. Nowadays, no matter how big things get, you don’t take a life—unless your own life is on the line.’

Elder Zheng was so scared he nearly wet his pants. His body gave way and he collapsed to the floor, pleading through a mess of tears and snot, "Qiuhang, please save your dad! I’ve done so many things wrong, but I’ll change, I promise! I’ll never make you angry or disappoint you again. Son-in-law, please, just save me! Don’t leave me here! I’ll kneel, I’m begging you!"

Wang Chenning shot Zheng Qiuhang a look and gave a slight shake of his head.

Zheng Qiuhang understood Wang Chenning’s meaning perfectly, so she deliberately put on a cold expression and ignored her father.

Seeing that neither Wang Chenning nor Zheng Qiuhang was reacting, Elder Zheng gritted his teeth and actually knelt.

But he was immediately sent sprawling by a slap from Wang Chenning, landing flat on his back.

Wang Chenning patted Yang Guomin’s face, which he’d already beaten until it was swollen like a pig’s head. He grinned and said, "I’m leaving Elder Zheng here. I don’t care what you do to him. You must be holding in a lot of anger. Feel free to teach him a good lesson and let off some steam. If you beat him to death or injure him, don’t even bother telling us. Collecting a body or sending him to the hospital costs money. We’re poor; we can’t afford it."

"Sir, I wouldn’t dare!" Yang Guomin was scared half to death. "I’m begging you, take him with you! We don’t dare keep him here anymore, I’m begging you."

Elder Zheng scrambled up from the floor, ran to Zheng Qiuhang, and fell to his knees with a THUD. He cried and begged, "Qiuhang, I’m so sorry. I’ve wronged you and your mother. I’ll make it up to you both, I swear. Just take me with you today. I’ll turn my life around!"

Wang Chenning ignored the two pathetic figures. He took Zheng Qiuhang’s hand and smiled. "Let’s go. We still have a lot to do at the hall."

Yang Guomin broke down completely. He dropped to his knees with a THUD before Wang Chenning and Zheng Qiuhang. "Sir, please, don’t leave Elder Zheng here! Take him with you! I’ll even compensate you more money. There’s ten million in this card, the PIN is 132465. Use it for Elder Zheng’s medical bills and retirement!"

"Well now, Fatty Bro, you’re quite wealthy, aren’t you!" Wang Chenning didn’t take the card Yang Guomin held out. He just chuckled and said, "Five million just now, another ten million now... that’s enough for three memberships at Li Garden Hall."

The moment Yang Guomin heard this, he scrambled to his feet and said frantically, "Sir, don’t worry, I’ll buy the memberships right now!"

Zheng Qiuhang sighed, reached out to pull her father up from the floor, and helped him over to the sofa to sit down.

Elder Zheng still looked terrified, clinging tightly to Zheng Qiuhang’s hand and refusing to let go.

"Is it okay that we’ve extorted so much money from them?" Seeing that Wang Chenning wasn’t refusing Yang Guomin’s "tribute," Zheng Qiuhang grew a little scared and whispered the question to him.

"It’s fine," Wang Chenning said, shaking his head. "With Luo Yuqing around, even if there is a problem, it’ll become a non-problem."

Zheng Qiuhang didn’t say anything more.

After purchasing two more memberships, Yang Guomin approached Wang Chenning, bowing and scraping, and said with an obsequious smile, "Sir, it’s done!"

With his face swollen like a pig’s head, his smile was as terrifying as it could possibly be.

"Alright. Since Fatty Bro is so honorable, I guess I have no choice but to take Elder Zheng with me." Wang Chenning stopped toying with them.

Hearing Wang Chenning finally relent, both Yang Guomin and Elder Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As they were preparing to leave, Wang Chenning’s eyes swept over Yang Guomin and the other two men who had been playing dead since he’d knocked them down. Then, his leg shot out in a sudden kick, sending the real firearm resting on the table flying. The gun flew toward the chandelier on the ceiling, and there was a loud BANG.

The massive chandelier came crashing down with a CLATTER, shattering into pieces. Shards of glass flew across the room, scaring everyone inside half to death.

Zheng Qiuhang jumped in fright as well. She quickly ran to Wang Chenning’s side and grabbed his arm tightly.

"Fatty Bro, thanks for your generosity today. We’re off!" Wang Chenning said a very polite goodbye to Yang Guomin, took Zheng Qiuhang’s hand, and left.

Elder Zheng immediately scrambled after them, moving as fast as a hundred-meter sprinter.

After leaving the room, Zheng Qiuhang was surprised to find that the gamblers she had seen on her way in were nowhere in sight.

Many burly men were lying on the ground, their eyes open, but they were completely unable to get up.

Zheng Qiuhang knew this was Wang Chenning’s handiwork. She was also very curious how he had managed to take care of all these people so silently.

But she didn’t dare to ask.

When they reached the car, Zheng Qiuhang helped her father get in.

Elder Zheng seemed terrified of Wang Chenning. Once in the car, he shrank into the back seat and didn’t dare say a word.

Wang Chenning didn’t start the car right away. Instead, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Eldest Young Master Li, I’m treating you to dinner at Li Garden Hall tonight. It’s been a few days; we should catch up. By the way, our President Zheng was nearly assaulted just now by a guy named Yang Guomin. He’s the one running the illegal casino here at the Jinyi Clothing Factory. Okay, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’d rather not have anyone bothering me about this again."
