Chapter 489: Ba Bi Dies, Liang Kun Is on Fire
However, Zhang Batian quickly took action, sending more than a thousand of his men to take turns borrowing money from the loan shark den in Babi.
At first, only one or two people came to borrow money, and Ba Bi's men didn't pay much attention. But as more and more people came to borrow money, one of his underlings couldn't help but say to Ba Bi, "Boss, why are so many people borrowing money today?"
Ba Bi said nonchalantly, "These days are tough. Besides us, who else could come up with so much money all at once?"
The underling beside him looked worried: "Boss, could there be some problem?"
Ba Bi said nonchalantly, "Something wrong? What could possibly be wrong? They only borrowed a few tens of thousands of yuan each. If they dare to borrow money from me and not pay it back, I'll chop up their whole family."
After hearing what Ba Bi said, the younger brother didn't say anything more. After all, they had the backing of Hung Hing, and no one in this territory dared to disrespect them. Moreover, the people who borrowed money had registered their names and addresses, so they couldn't run away.
Three days later, Ba Bi's henchmen ran over in a panic and said, "Boss, we're out of money."
Ba Bi looked puzzled: "What? What do you mean you're broke?"
The younger brother looked at Ba Bi and said, "Boss, you told us before that we could lend money without worry. In the past two or three days, we have lent out nearly 20 million."
Ba Bi suddenly stood up: "What? More than twenty million? How many people came to borrow it?"
The younger brother, carrying a basket full of IOUs, said, "These are all of them."
Ba Bi was speechless for a moment. He had intended to make money by lending money at high interest rates, but he hadn't expected to lend out so much at once. At this moment, Ba Bi also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
At this moment, one of the henchmen noticed that Ba Bi's expression was not good and quickly said, "Boss, once we sell this batch of goods, the money will be back. Besides, they only said they would lend it for a month or two, so we'll make at least a few million more by then."
Ba Bi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Forget it, let's not think about that anymore. Go take a bath, and I'll take you to find some girls tonight."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately shouted excitedly, "Boss is awesome! Boss is mighty!"
Babi was overjoyed by the praise of the crowd and couldn't wait to have a good time that night.
However, just after they entered the bathhouse, Chan Ho-nam and his brothers sneaked up on them.
All of this was observed by Zhang Batian's men. Zhang Batian sat in the teahouse, watching everything unfold, and said to Gao Jin beside him, "Wait a minute, if Chen Haonan and his men don't finish this off, you go and send Babi on his way. We'll see this through to the end."
Gao Jin didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.
Feng Yuxiu, who was waiting impatiently, said, "How about I go over now? There shouldn't be many people in Babi's territory right now. I can kill them all by myself."
Zhang Batian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright. Take all the brothers' IOUs back and burn them. The boss said to take back everything valuable inside. As for the powder, leave it at the scene and call the police to take care of it."
Feng Yuxiu nodded in agreement. Zhang Batian had originally wanted to bring a few underlings for him, but Feng Yuxiu felt it was unnecessary and went downstairs alone.
As soon as Feng Yuxiu came downstairs, a man wrapped in a bath towel ran out of the bathhouse, shouting as he ran, "I'm Babi from Hung Hing! Whoever saves me, I'll give him a million!"
But the people around him, seeing the menacing Chen Haonan and his gang, were so frightened that they backed away one after another. No one dared to step forward to save him.
Babi threw himself onto a taxi, shouting frantically, "Open the door for me right now!"
But when the taxi driver saw Chan Ho-nam, Chicken, and Tai Tin-Yee rushing towards them with weapons, he was so frightened that he stepped on the gas and drove away.
Ba Bi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but curse angrily, "You son of a bitch, don't let me find out who you are! I'll chop up your whole family sooner or later!"
Before he could finish his tirade, Chicken kicked him to the ground, and Chan Ho-nam followed up with a slash to Ba Bi's neck. Ba Bi collapsed, dying instantly.
After confirming that Ba Bi was dead, Chan Ho-nam and his men immediately turned and fled.
Ba Bi's henchmen ran to his side, looked at his corpse, and shouted, "Chen Haonan killed Brother Ba Bi!"
Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiu, masked, had already stormed into Ba Bi's lair. Throughout Ba Bi's territory, his men were all lying on the ground, groaning in pain, some missing limbs. Feng Yuxiu stuffed all the IOUs into a bag, then found the safe. Finding no key, he simply carried the safe on his back and quickly made his escape.
Not long after Feng Yuxiu left, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.
Feng Yuxiu found a secluded spot, burned all the IOUs, and then disguised the safe in a simple way. He carried it back to the boxing gym with one hand and handed it to Zhang Batian.
Zhang Batian looked at the safe in the office, closed the door, and his hand transformed into various key shapes. He reached into the keyhole, and with a "bang," the safe opened. His hand then returned to its original shape.
Besides cash, the safe also contained a ledger detailing drug trafficking transactions. Zhang Batian thought it might be useful, so he put it away. He took out the cash and gave Gao Jin and Feng Yuxiu 100,000 each, and the rest of his underlings 5,000 each, which drew envy from the crowd, who all rushed to Zhang Batian to complain.
Zhang Batian looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, everyone has a chance."
Now everyone in the Exploding Sky Gang knew that Ba Bi was dead, and all their IOUs had been burned, which made them all overjoyed. After all, those who lived in the underworld understood the rule that debts were settled upon death; anyone who wanted their money would have to have Ba Bi personally bring the IOUs to them.
Meanwhile, when Liang Kun learned that Ba Bi had been hacked to death, he was furious and, in front of everyone, had a fire extinguisher put out his fire. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with boundless hatred.
However, Zhang Lei was overjoyed upon hearing Zhang Batian's report on the operation. After all, even if his men didn't hand over the money, it would eventually end up being used by Babi for drug trafficking anyway, so it was better to lend it out and let the brothers benefit from it.
Zhang Lei returned to his residence in Repulse Bay, looked at the nearby sea, and gazed at the impressive large cruise ship. He smiled and said, "This is ours."
Zhang Zhiqiang nodded: "It's ours. You and your wives can take the children up there and have a good time."
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Back home, seeing that almost everyone was there, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Everyone should rest tomorrow. We've bought the cruise ship, let's have a party on it."
Everyone found the idea of having a party on the cruise ship quite novel.
Zhang Lei added with a smile, "It's just my family up there, eating and drinking, and relaxing."
Lou Xiao'e stepped forward, teasing with a smile, "Honey, you're not up to some mischief again, are you?"
Zhang Lei laughed and said, "What bad idea is there? It's just that you guys should wear more bikinis and cool clothes so you can have more fun when you're out having fun."
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed and covered their mouths.
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him: "You still say you have no bad intentions?"
Zhang Lei feigned helplessness: "Don't think of me as so despicable, okay? Besides, love between men and women is a natural thing; otherwise, how would children come about?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter and began discussing what clothes they should wear for the next day's sea voyage.
Zhang Lei then instructed the robot to prepare more food on the cruise ship and to ask the ladies for their opinions. Soon, everyone shared their preferences: some liked barbecue, some liked cake, some liked sashimi, and so on.
At that moment, Zhang Lei suddenly remembered something and secretly planned: after his film company's first movie was released, he would definitely invite all the actresses from the company to come and have a good time on a cruise ship. After all, they had made money, so everyone should have some fun together.
