You Were Told To Go Undercover, And You Married The Daughter Of A Mafia Boss? - Chapter 12:

Chapter 12: Yu Jiu’s Fury

“Brother Qing, don’t do this. If you keep acting like this, I’ll call my dad.” Shen Li tried her best to stop him, because she knew that Qing She’s expression showed he had killing intent.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Qing She to calm down and leave.

“Xiao Qiu’s man is an idiot. He doesn’t know anything. She doesn’t love him at all.” A moment later, Qing She puffed on a cigarette, his emotions still unsettled.

“Then let me ask you, do you and she truly love each other?” Shen Li asked, “If so, then she should get divorced and be with you openly. If not, and you two are just fooling around, then that’s a problem of morality.”

“Of course it’s true love,” Qing She snapped. “I have my bottom line too.”

“Then why hasn’t she divorced him?” Zheng Chuan asked curiously.

“She borrowed money from the boss’s wife to treat her father’s illness. She couldn’t repay it, so she married the boss’s son.” Qing She said gloomily, “The boss’s wife said, if she wants a divorce, she must pay 200,000 yuan. Otherwise, she’ll drag everyone down with her rather than let Xiao Qiu go.”

“Brother Qing, hasn’t the boss treated you well all these years? You can’t even come up with 200,000 yuan?” Zheng Chuan was shocked.

“Yeah, if you were short on money, why didn’t you come to my dad?” Shen Li also looked confused.

“Of course the boss has treated me well, but my money…” Qing She paused, “I gave it all to the orphanage.”

“Orphanage?” Zheng Chuan was puzzled. “What orphanage?”

“It’s the one where Brother Qing stayed when he was young. Over the years, he often went back to visit the old director,” Shen Li explained softly. “But Brother Qing, you should’ve saved some for yourself.”

“I usually just smoke and drink. I don’t spend much. And recently, the orphanage took in a few more kids.” Qing She’s tone remained low, “The old director is getting old and can’t get sponsors anymore. There are too many expenses. Besides, the boss also often sends money and supplies to the orphanage. I didn’t want to trouble him anymore.”

Zheng Chuan felt something stuck in his throat.

In his past life, he had been so focused on targeting Shen Nan that he had no idea about any of this.

In his eyes, Qing She was cold and ruthless, with several lives on his hands.

But now, it turned out Qing She was someone who valued emotion and loyalty so deeply.

And even Shen Nan, unexpectedly, was doing charity. But unlike those hypocritical CEOs who flaunt every good deed for media coverage, Shen Nan did it quietly, without a word.

For a moment, Zheng Chuan felt confused. Could people in this world really be divided into good and evil so clearly?

What was the standard for judging good and evil anyway?

“Brother Qing, I have money. I’ll give it to you tomorrow. Let Xiao Qiu go and get the divorce done first,” Zheng Chuan finally said.

“I’ll cover it. Where did you get the money?” Shen Li looked at him with suspicion.

“I tricked Yu Jiu,” Zheng Chuan grinned awkwardly. “I didn’t drag the company’s brothers to boost his business for free. I charged per head—1,000 yuan each.”

He actually felt guilty for tricking Yu Jiu like that.

Meanwhile, Yu Jiu was already losing his mind.

The next day, Yu Jiu called Zheng Chuan. “Young Master Zheng, what about that money?”

“Oh, CEO Yu, I’m really sorry. I asked the vendors, they said the funds need to circulate for a day. It’ll be ready tomorrow.”

The day after, Yu Jiu called again. “Young Master Zheng, can we get the payment today?”

“Yes, CEO Yu, please wait. I’ll be over this afternoon.”

That afternoon, Zheng Chuan turned off his phone.

On the third day, Yu Jiu suppressed his growing rage. “Young Master Zheng, about the money?”

“Oh no, I was out entertaining with my uncle yesterday. Drank too much. Sorry, CEO Yu, I’m heading your way now.”

Zheng Chuan turned off his phone again.

On the fourth day, Yu Jiu finally got through to him. “Will the loan be repaid today?”

“CEO Yu, I already withdrew the money from the bank. I’m on my way to you right now.”

On the fifth day, Yu Jiu tried to call again, only to find he’d been blocked.

He switched phones and called again. Yu Jiu shouted hysterically, “Zheng Chuan, you dare play me? I’m not letting you get away with this!”

Click… beep beep… The call was cut off.

Yu Jiu furiously smashed his phone on the ground and roared, “Chen Tao, find out where that brat is!”

“Gather the brothers! We’re cutting him down!”

“Brother-in-law, someone saw Zheng Chuan spending money at a club,” Chen Tao reported with fury. “He scammed us and is now out enjoying himself!”

“Bring the boys. We’re heading there now.” Yu Jiu’s eyes were bloodshot. “I’m going to chop him up myself!”

In a KTV lounge, Zheng Chuan was singing with Xiao Hui and Qing She.

“Thanks, Zheng Chuan,” Qing She raised a beer. “Xiao Qiu is going to file for divorce tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back.”

He lifted the bottle and downed the entire thing in three seconds.

“Come on, Brother Qing, talking money is too formal. That cash was Yu Jiu’s anyway, so we should thank him.” Zheng Chuan laughed loudly.

He picked up a bottle to imitate Qing She but ended up choking, spraying beer from his mouth.

“Brother Chuan, Brother Qing’s move is called ‘drunk on riches and beauty,’ not something ordinary people can copy,” Xiao Hui quickly handed him a tissue.

“Respect!” Zheng Chuan coughed, his face red.

At that moment, BANG! The private room’s door was kicked open from outside.

Yu Jiu entered with a group of men, face grim.

“Hey, CEO Yu! Come in, come in! Have a seat!” Zheng Chuan quickly stood, full of enthusiasm. “My treat today—let’s drink till we drop!”

“Zheng Chuan, you’ve got guts,” Yu Jiu sneered. “You dare play me? You know what the word ‘death’ means?”

“What’s this about, CEO Yu? Oh, the loan? My bad. I’ve been so busy, I completely forgot.” Zheng Chuan smacked his forehead like he just remembered. “Don’t worry, I’ve got the money ready. Let me call the bank right now. Where’s my phone?”

“Cut the act!” Yu Jiu shouted furiously. He took a machete from the hand of one of his men and pointed it at Zheng Chuan. “You must be out of your mind to scam me! I’ll hack you to pieces today!”

“Scam you? How did I scam you?” Zheng Chuan said lazily. “Our people signed a legal loan agreement. The term is three months. It hasn’t even been ten days, and you’re already collecting? Can’t you have a little contract spirit?”

“The repayment date is written clearly. If you don’t like it, go sue me.”

“Zheng! Stop pretending! You’re a scammer!” Chen Tao pointed at Zheng Chuan. “Can you guarantee you’ll pay when the time’s up?”

“Not planning to,” Zheng Chuan replied calmly. “I borrowed it with skill. Why should I repay it?”

“Besides, you begged me to lend it. How’s that my fault?”

Yu Jiu and his men were stunned.

They’d been in the underworld gang for years, and even the most vicious people feared them.

But this was the first time they’d met someone who borrowed money and dared to be this shameless about not paying it back.
