Chapter 19 Wei Shao asks for help

Li Luogen did not dare to agree to Meng Hao directly, but turned to look at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei said coldly, "Wang Jin owes us six million, right? If this lottery ticket can really be cashed in for more than eight million, it will just pay off the debt !"

Li Luogen opened his mouth and closed it again, and could only watch Meng Hao's attitude.

Meng Hao sneered and said, "You should have gone to Wang Jin to ask for the six million usury. I just wanted to save face in front of my mother-in-law, so I took the three million for her! If Chen Sanshao really thinks I'm a soft persimmon that's easy to take advantage of, then I'm sorry, I won't pay back the three million! If you dare to cause trouble for my mother-in-law, I will go straight to your Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce headquarters!"

He picked up the lottery ticket and stood up to leave.

Chen Wei was so angry that he jumped up and sneered, "Good boy, you are so arrogant! Li Logan said that you broke a big tree with one slap. Come on, let me try and see if you really have such a great ability!"

He got ready to fight.

The restaurant manager was so scared that he rushed over and kept saying, "What's wrong with you guys? If you have something to say, just talk it out. Don't use force!"

He saw that Meng Hao was dressed in ordinary clothes and had an ordinary appearance, while Chen Wei was wearing all branded clothes.

Li Luogen was also standing next to Chen Wei with fear and trepidation. It was obvious that Chen Wei was not someone that a restaurant manager like him could offend.

So he quickly turned around and glared at Meng Hao, "I can tell you're no good. Someone, kick this guy out of the restaurant!"

What he meant was that as long as Meng Hao was kicked out, even if Chen Wei was still angry, he would chase him outside to fight, and that would have nothing to do with their restaurant.

Unexpectedly, Meng Hao sneered and reached out to lightly grab the solid wooden dining table in front of him .

With a "swish" sound, Meng Hao dug a big hole in the middle of the dining table.

solid wooden tabletop in his hands into fine wood chips, which fell out from between his fingers.

Chen Wei, Li Logan, and the restaurant manager were all stunned.

Several male waiters who were rushing forward were so frightened that they stopped immediately and did not dare to approach Meng Hao.

Until Meng Hao sneered, "What, you want to use force? Then come on!"

"Well...I, I, I ..."

The restaurant manager stuttered a few times and had to bow to Meng Hao and Chen Wei repeatedly, "You two are both gentlemen and heroes. It's not easy to run our restaurant. I beg you two not to use force in the restaurant!"

Meng Hao ignored him and just looked at Chen Wei coldly .

Li Luogen hurriedly whispered to Chen Wei, "Master Wei, I said before that Brother Meng broke a big tree with just a slap. I didn't lie to you!"

Chen Wei then took a deep breath and clasped his fists towards Meng Hao .

"I was reckless, please forgive me, Brother Meng!"

Meng Hao snorted coldly and sat down in the chair again.

The restaurant manager breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to ask the three of them to compensate for the table. Instead, he quickly asked someone to remove the table and replaced it with a new one for the three of them.

Chen Wei personally poured a cup of tea for Meng Hao and asked carefully, "Brother Meng has such great skills, but I wonder who taught him?"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Young Master Wei?" Meng Hao replied bluntly.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Chen Wei smiled without any arrogance, "To be honest, I came here with Li Luogen today because I heard him say that Brother Meng broke a tree with one slap. I didn't believe it at first, so I said something rude to test Brother Meng, but I didn't expect Brother Meng's Kung Fu to be so amazing! If Brother Meng is willing to tell me his name, I will forgive Brother Meng's debt . When I go back and my dad asks about it, I will also have something to say to him!"

"forget it!"

Meng Hao shook his head. "It is only natural to pay back a debt. Besides, I have already made a promise in front of my mother-in-law that after I pay back this debt, I will ask Young Master Wei to issue me a receipt for three million so that I can take it back to shut up that old woman!"

“I see!”

Chen Wei thought for a moment, then turned back and asked Li Luogen, "How much money did Wang Jin lend us?"

"Three million, borrowed three months ago, and now the interest is six million!" Li Luogen answered cautiously.

"How about this, Brother Meng! I will only take back the principal of 3 million. If Brother Meng pays me back 3 million today, then all of Wang Jin's debts will be written off. How about that?"

"not good!"

Meng Hao immediately shook his head, "I only pay off the debts owed by my mother-in-law. The debts owed by others have nothing to do with me!"

Chen Wei felt a little confused and looked at Li Logan again.

Li Luogen quickly leaned over to his ear and said, "Although Wang Jin is Brother Meng's cousin's husband, that family is worthless, including Brother Meng's mother-in-law. Brother Meng has to pay off his mother-in-law's debt for the sake of his wife, but Brother Meng is definitely not willing to pay for the rest of the debt!"

"I see!"

Chen Wei suddenly realized, "That's it, then. Brother Meng, after you cash in the lottery ticket, you only need to pay me the principal of 1.5 million. I will send someone to ask Wang Jin's family for the rest! But don't worry, Brother Meng, I will help you to issue a formal receipt for 3 million from our Hongye Chamber of Commerce later!"

Meng Hao knew that Chen Wei wanted to make friends with him, so he smiled faintly and said, "Since Master Wei said so, I will accept this favor from you! But after all, Wang Jin borrowed the money three months ago, so I still have to pay you some interest! How about this, after I redeem the prize later, I will return two million to Master Wei, but I need Master Wei to help me issue a receipt for three million! In addition, Brother Li will help me redeem the prize, and I still have to give Brother Li the hundreds of thousands I promised!"

"I would never dare to accept this!" Li Luogen said hurriedly.

"Brother Meng is really very considerate. I won't say much. Let's just redeem the prize first and talk about it later, okay?"

Meng Hao nodded in agreement, and the three of them walked into the Sports Lottery Center together to claim their prizes.

The Sports Lottery Center is obliged to keep the information of the winners confidential, but an ID card must be used when redeeming the prize.

Meng Hao and Chen Wei accompanied Li Luogen and spent an hour to complete the formalities. Li Luogen came forward to accept the congratulations from the Sports Lottery Center, and then they walked out together and went into a nearby bank.

Li Luogen only left two million in his own account and transferred the rest of the money to Meng Hao.

But Meng Hao insisted on leaving the change for Li Luogen as labor payment. Li Luogen was naturally very happy , and Chen Wei also repeatedly praised Meng Hao for being so considerate.

Meng Hao saw that Chen Wei was hesitant to speak again and again, and knowing that he had something on his mind, he simply opened the window and spoke frankly.

"Do you have something to say, Wei Shao? Just say it directly. No need to be so polite with me!"

Chen Wei nodded, as if he had made a great decision, and said, "There is indeed something I would like to ask Brother Meng for help, but I don't know if Brother Meng is willing to help!"

"Tell me what it is first!"

"That's right. Brother Gang Meng also said that I have an awkward position at home. Actually... my mother is just a concubine of my father, so my elder brother and second brother all look down on me. Fortunately, my father is quite good to me. This time he specially assigned a task to me. If I can do this well, my elder brother and second brother will not be able to suppress me anymore!"

Meng Hao nodded but did not interrupt.

Chen Wei continued, "Brother Meng should know the background of our Hongye Chamber of Commerce, but we are doing legitimate business in Hongshan City, and only in some surrounding towns do we have some shady income!"

"What is shady income? Membership fees?" Meng Hao asked.

"This is not something that can be seen in the open. In fact, there are some not-so-stable industries in Hongshan City, such as nightclubs, bars and karaoke halls, etc., which will take the initiative to pay us membership fees!"

"So what do you mean by shady business? Don't tell me it's drug trafficking, that's something that harms the country and the people!"

"That certainly won't happen!"

Chen Wei shook his head and lowered his voice slightly, "We have opened several entertainment villages in some surrounding towns. In the entertainment villages... you know!"

After a little thought, Meng Hao understood that this entertainment village probably offered popular activities such as foot washing, massage, KTV, etc.
