Chapter 1710: Someone is easy to do
"Never heard of it?" Lin Ran smiled and played with the small plate in his hand, "Boss, do you know what this is?"
What he was holding was a tray from the Qing Dynasty. Although it was not considered a top-quality cultural relic, it was still a small antique. It could be easily sold for tens of dollars, but he actually used it as an ashtray.
If you are so ignorant of the goods, it will most likely be taken back.
And there’s Meng Xinglou’s mark on it!
Lin Ran said: "You have brought everything from Meng Xinglou. It doesn't make sense that their boss is not with you."
The boss's face became very gloomy.
I didn't realize there was anyone else in the yard before. At this time, some unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared at the door of the room.
They had sticks in their hands and looked decidedly evil.
"What do you want to do?" Wu Ning stood up, feeling that he was probably in trouble.
In such an unfamiliar place, even if someone is beaten to death and thrown up a mountain, the murderer will basically not be found.
He wanted to scare the other person as much as possible.
Lin Ran still said calmly: "Don't you just want money? I'm here to redeem people now. You tell me the number."
After hearing this, the boss's expression improved.
He stared at Lin Ran suspiciously: "What is your relationship with Meng Lin?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm willing to pay. Can I see him now?" Lin Ran knew that he couldn't tell the truth with this kind of person and had to maintain a sense of mystery.
Sure enough, when Lin Ran said this, the boss began to guess who he was.
He nodded to the person at the door.
Not long after, Meng Lin, whose nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten, was carried up by the gangster.
Along with him, there was a contract that fell to the ground.
The boss lit a cigarette, looked at the ceiling and said, "See for yourself how much it costs?"
Meng Lin was already a little unconscious after being beaten. When he saw Lin Ran and Wu Ning, he instantly felt like he saw a savior.
"Manager Wu, Mr. Lin!"
Although Wu Ning found Meng Lin annoying, his appearance was indeed too miserable. He frowned and asked, "Why are you so confused? You are borrowing loan sharks outside."
Lin Ran took a look at the numbers on the contract.
Good guy, Meng Lin also told him that he only owed more than [-] yuan.
With compound interest, a total of 30 will be repaid!
30 yuan in this era is really not something that can be taken out in a short while.
Even if he sells his shop, it won't be worth the price.
Seeing Lin Ran's frown, the boss said in a calm tone: "How about it? Can you afford the redemption?"
"You are blackmailing!" Wu Ning said angrily.
Lin Ran quickly motioned for him to shut up. Their coming here meant they accepted this rule. They could move freely within the allowable range of the unspoken rules.
But if they break this rule, they really can't guarantee their lives.
Lin Ran said: "The money is a bit too high. I can't take it out at once. Can you please return the people and goods to us first, and then we can make a turnover."
"If he didn't default on our loan, I wouldn't mind a few days of grace, but he's been hiding for a month and it's hard for me to trust him again." The boss looked absolutely unaccommodating.
In a place like this, where people are unfamiliar, even calling the police is useless.
At most, they think it is a civil dispute, and what he signed is more like an IOU than a contract. It has no legal effect at all, so they will not go to court to solve the problem.
They have their own way of using violence to regain their interests.
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Ran to spend so much money at once. The reason why he came to Meng Lin was because he hoped that Meng Lin would not do anything when the store changed hands in the future. Now is the best time.
Taking advantage of others' danger is not Lin Ran's personality.
So he decided to help Meng Lin solve the biggest hidden danger. If he went astray after that, it would have nothing to do with him.
The price of 30 is absolutely inappropriate. His bottom line is 15.
"You've beaten people, you've taken goods, and you still want 30. Isn't it appropriate?"
"Not appropriate? Then don't do it." The boss also sounded tough.
After he finished speaking, several gangsters rushed in, holding Meng Lin on their backs and preparing to carry him away.
Lin Ran said: "I am the person recommended by Song Qiang."
As a last resort, he could only use Song Qiang's name.
The boss behind this underground bank must also be Song Qiang.
Regardless of how obedient Song Qiang is to Lin Ran, in fact he is still a bad guy who lives in the underworld.
Without any special reason, he would not talk to Song Qiang at all.
The gangster was about to take Meng Lin back to the cellar and lock him up. The boss raised his hand: "Don't take him away yet."
He squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Ran, and said, "Were you recommended by President Song?"
"Yes, you might as well call and ask. Just say that a man named Lin is here to redeem me." Lin Ran said.
The boss did not agree immediately, but sneered.
"If you find out that it was not recommended by Mr. Song, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, the boss told the gangster at the door, "Watch them and don't let them leave."
Then he went to the backyard and seemed to make a phone call.
Wu Ning was already sweating. For a gentleman like him, the place he went to today was really beyond his understanding.
Underground casinos, underground banks.
What surprised him even more was that Lin Ran was getting along like a fish in water, without looking like a novice at all.
Lin Ran was staring at Meng Lin with a smile on his lips.
Wu Ning was so frightened that he could still laugh under such circumstances. His hands and feet were shaking with fear.
Not long after, the boss came back.
It's just that the boss at this time was not as domineering as before, but instead seemed particularly friendly.
He just told Song Qiang about the car Lin Ran drove. There was no one else driving an Audi 100 in the capital, except Lin Ran, so his identity was naturally confirmed.
As the saying goes, drive a good car and get things done easily when you go out. Lin Ran understands this truth.
"The price is based on what you said." The boss explained, "He borrowed 10 yuan from us. According to the most basic investment, he needs to collect 5 yuan in interest. Mr. Lin, you see... "
"Okay." Lin Ran said, "But you have to send back the things you took from his store."
"No problem." The boss agreed. In his opinion, antiques are not valuable at all, and he is not short of this little money.
Anyway, those piles of rags are still in the way at home, so why not be a favor and send them back to him.
The gangsters loosened the rope around Meng Lin.
Meng Lin almost hugged Lin Ran's thigh and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you so much! You came to save me. I really don't know how to repay you."
Lin Ran replied with a look of disgust on his face: "Okay, don't be stupid. I have already taken care of the debt problem for you. I will perform the rest of the contract and supplement it. You won't mess with me, right?"
