Su Chen looked expressionlessly at Wang Haoyu: "Are you talking to me?"
Wang Haoyu stepped forward and pushed Su Chen: "I'm not talking to you, do I look like I'm talking to a dog?"
" You have two seconds to kneel down and apologize!"
Wang Haoyu's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? Su Chen, have you got some guts now to talk to me like that? Do you believe that…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Chen suddenly lunged forward, grabbing his neck and slamming him to the ground!
"Time's up!"
"Ah!"
Jiang Xiaoqian screamed and hurried over, trying to pull Su Chen away!
"Let go! What are you doing! Someone help! He's going to kill him!"
Jiang Xiaoqian kept pushing Su Chen, but he suddenly swung his palm towards her!
Jiang Xiaoqian's face instantly turned red and swollen as she fell onto the ground, her mind going blank!
Wang Haoyu looked at Su Chen in horror: "Let… let go…"
His voice was hoarse, barely able to utter a complete sentence.
Su Chen gazed at Wang Haoyu's increasingly flushed face and said, "You won't die too quickly, don't worry."
A cruel smile flashed at the corners of Su Chen's mouth as he spoke.
Then, he released Wang Haoyu.
Wang Haoyu looked at Su Chen in terror, coughing continuously, his mind filled with the fleeting cold smile he had just seen.
Suddenly, Su Chen turned to Jiang Xiaoqian, and upon seeing him, she instinctively took two steps back!
It was the kind of murderous aura that could only come from someone who had survived among the dead!
How could they, delicate flowers nurtured in a greenhouse, withstand it?
Su Chen slowly stood up and walked towards the real estate agency, where Manager Liu was so frightened he was speechless.
Only after Su Chen had completely left did Jiang Xiaoqian, trembling with fear, rush over to Wang Haoyu: "Xiao Yu, are you okay!"
Wang Haoyu was holding his neck, coughing non-stop. He wanted to stand up, but his legs were trembling, and he had already wet his pants.
"Fuck… Just you wait, Su Chen!"
With Jiang Xiaoqian's help, he slowly got to his feet. Though he had lost his momentum, he couldn't lose face verbally either!
Su Chen completely ignored the guy.
This person had always looked down on Su Chen, relying on an older brother who was involved in the underground scene. Now that Su Chen had dealt with him, he certainly wouldn't let it go easily.
Jiang Xiaoqian seemed to regain her composure and glared at Su Chen in anger: "Su Chen! Since I'm not too angry yet, kneel down and apologize quickly! Otherwise, don't think you can ever marry me!"
Once, Su Chen had obediently followed Jiang Xiaoqian's every whim, even earning the title of a 'simp'. But at this moment, it was as if he hadn't heard her at all!
Jiang Xiaoqian covered her reddening face, staring fixedly at Su Chen: "Fine! Fine! Just wait, Su Chen! You'll regret this!"
Wang Haoyu also pointed at Su Chen, shouting: "You wait!"
Yet, when Su Chen turned to look at Wang Haoyu, he got so scared he turned tail and ran!
Jiang Xiaoqian hurriedly followed suit!
Su Chen snorted coldly: "Useless scum!"
In his past life, this guy had joined Su Chen in entering a safe zone, and it seemed he had risen to team leader thanks to his flattery. This time, Su Chen wouldn't give him another chance!
In the real estate agency, Manager Liu looked at Su Chen and quietly asked, "Mr. Su... Are you alright?"
Su Chen replied: "I'm fine. Do you have clients? When can I get the money?"
When Su Chen's parents passed away, they had left him a three-bedroom apartment. Although it wasn't in a great location, selling it for over a million was still possible.
He was asking for seven hundred thousand, so the apartment should be quite sought after.
Manager Liu said, "Um... does it have to be cash?"
Su Chen nodded: "Yes, cash up front."
He didn't have the time to wait for a bank loan.
After thinking for a moment, Manager Liu continued: "How about this, I'll discuss it with my colleague. We'll buy your apartment ourselves. What do you think?"
Su Chen: "Sounds good. Can you pay today?"
Manager Liu: "Yes, yes! I'll call my colleague over so we can sign the contract and transfer the funds!"
Su Chen's apartment was worth about one million one hundred thousand. Selling it for seven hundred thousand meant a profit of four hundred thousand.
Doing this deal would be equivalent to their business for an entire year!
Manager Liu's colleague was a girl, and when they signed the contract, her hands trembled with excitement.
Su Chen didn't pay it much attention; right now, he needed cash quickly for a lot of upcoming purchases.
After signing the contract, Manager Liu wasn't in too much of a hurry regarding the property transfer.
"When can we transfer? It's up to you, Mr. Su," Manager Liu smiled.
Su Chen: "Let's do it a week from now."
"Sure!"
In one week, you can pick any house, as long as you dare to stay there!
Although all sorts of disasters were happening around the globe, the central regions were far away from earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc.
Moreover, with the government's refutations and all, life here remained orderly.
However, the temperature in the air was getting increasingly heated.
After receiving the money, Su Chen returned to his neighborhood. This area had originally been a concentration of warehouses, but as industry gradually migrated west, the warehouses fell into disuse.
Later, developers saw the potential and planned to transform it into a commercial zone.
Meanwhile, there was an old lady demanding an exorbitant price for her warehouse, insisting on at least ten million!
Thus, the warehouse remained untouched, and negotiations for its demolition were non-existent.
Su Chen set his sights on this warehouse!
It was relatively large and had once stored massive industrial machines. Today, Su Chen found that old lady.
She lived inside the warehouse; though she had water and electricity, her life was quite poor. Upon hearing that Su Chen wanted to rent it, she perked up immediately!
"How long do you want to rent it?"
"A week, how much?"
The old lady frowned: "I only rent for a minimum of six months. How can I rent it for just a week?"
Su Chen: "This old warehouse is practically abandoned. I'm willing to rent it, so a week for twenty thousand is already generous; if you don't want it, forget it!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly agreed: "Alright! I'll pack my things now. Let's sign the contract!"
Once the contract was printed and signed, Su Chen transferred the money.
Just then, Su Chen noticed a sign on the warehouse door that read "Fast Loans."
"Hmm? High-interest loans?"
His eyes lit up; he felt like he couldn't miss out on this opportunity.
He immediately called the number: "Hello, is this the loan company?"
A lazy male voice responded from the other end: "Yes, do you need a loan? You can come to our office."
Su Chen: "Sure, what's the address? I'll come over now."
"12 Xuefeng Road, Han Hai International, 14th floor, office 1405."
"Got it!"
Su Chen took a taxi over, holding his property deed. This was a perfect opportunity for collateral!
The bank's mortgage procedures were too troublesome, requiring credit checks and waiting, and it was likely they had already flagged his multiple online loans.
Upon arriving at the loan office, Su Chen saw a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting there. When the man saw him, he paused for a moment.
Wasn't this the big brother Wang Haoyu was always bragging about?
He seemed to be called… Wang Dahai.
In the apocalypse, Wang Haoyu had followed him, and Su Chen had met him a few times. Later, he died at the jaws of a mutant beast, after which Wang Haoyu had followed Su Chen.
At that time, Su Chen hadn't known that this guy was involved in usury.
Now it made sense why Wang Haoyu had the guts to confront Su Chen; he had a loan shark older brother backing him.
Wang Dahai looked at Su Chen: "Was that you who called earlier?"
A smile crept onto Su Chen's face: "Yes, I did. How much can we borrow? I have property."
Wang Dahai's eyes lit up: "Oh, property? That's good. Let me see the deed."
Su Chen handed over the deed, and Wang Dahai squinted: "This property doesn't seem to be worth much. You can only borrow five hundred thousand."
Su Chen pretended to frown: "Five hundred thousand? That's a bit low; this property is worth one million!"
Wang Dahai pulled out a cigarette: "Ah, market value is just market value; you can't borrow based on that. Besides, it's not easy to sell property now. If you can't pay back later, we'll lose out with the property too."
Su Chen quickly replied: "Add another hundred thousand! I need it now!"
Wang Dahai narrowed his eyes and leaned in closer, whispering: "Are you in trouble? What's going on?"
Su Chen gritted his teeth: "I… I want to make some quick money! In a week! If I make it big, I'll pay you back right away, don't worry. I can pay extra interest!"
Wang Dahai's eyes narrowed; so he was a gambler, and he loved dealing with this kind of person.
Once they got involved, he would dare to sell his own parents!
Looks like today would be the day he played with fire!
