The two quickly squatted on the ground, dejected. Chen s.h.i.+ asked the hefty man what his name was, and he answered Ye XX. Chen s.h.i.+ saw the bat tattoo on his neck and asked, ”You wouldn't be that Brother Bian, right?”
The hefty man said with a smile, ”The brothers on the same path just gave me face by calling me Brother Bian.”
”What do you do?”
”Reporting to the government, we are absolutely serious people and collect debts for personal loan companies.”
”Just collecting debts?”
”Just collecting debts!”
”Don't lie to me. You think I don't know that you operate an underground casino?”
”Oh, that was long ago in the past. I've already turned over a new leaf. If you don't believe me, you can ask my brothers.” Brother Bian smiled.
”How much does Sun Jun owe you?”
”Two, thirty... three, forty... four, five hundred thousand or so.”
”Exactly how much is it?!” Chen s.h.i.+ berated him.
”Forty-six thousand, including interest! He's been owning it for a long time. This kid has been in hiding and we haven't been able to find him. It's making my boss impatient.”
”Let me ask you something. Were you the one who chopped off Sun Jun's fingers?”
”Nothing like that happened. Nothing like that. How could we do that kind of thing?!” Brother Bian shook his head like a pellet drum.
Chen s.h.i.+ gave Xu Xiaodong a glance. It was unclear what Xu Xiaodong got from that as he handed over a bottle of mineral water over. Chen s.h.i.+ rolled his eyes. ”Take this guy to another room!”
So, the thin man was picked up by Xu Xiaodong, and screamed as he was taken to the bathroom. Brother Bian's expression looked as though this didn't sit well with him, fearing that the younger brother would betray him. Chen s.h.i.+ wasn't in a hurry. He sat on the sofa and drank some water. He patiently waited and typed out a message to Xu Xiaodong, instructing him about what he should say when he came out.
Xu Xiaodong came out and clenched his fist. ”Brother Chen, this youngster has been taken down.”
Chen s.h.i.+ looked at Brother Bian, who was already so anxious that he was full of sweat. Chen s.h.i.+ said, ”You're really not going to say anything? You really think that we don't know anything? I'm asking now to give you a chance. When you get to the bureau, you won't get this chance. Think about it!”
Brother Bian pinched his eyebrows as if he had a toothache, and under Chen s.h.i.+'s cold eyes, he finally said, ”I was the one who chopped them off...”
”Why?”
”He had been cheating. At that time, I was working in a casino. I found out that the boy had cheated a big boss out of hundreds of thousands. The big boss immediately wanted to kill him on the spot. I told him to calm down and that I would take care of him. So I just chopped two of his fingers off.”
”If it was as you said, you had actually saved him?”
”I wouldn't go as far as to say that.” Brother Bian smiled.
”You're still laughing? Listen, I don't care about any casino affairs. I don't care if you collect usury or gambling debts. I'm just investigating Sun Jun's affairs. If you cooperate well, I'll let you go out of the door later!”
Brother Bian looked as though he was grasping at a life-saving straw, so he nodded desperately. ”I'll cooperate! I'll definitely cooperate”
”Apart from chopping off his fingers, what else did you do to him?”
”Nothing!”
”Let me remind you. Did you tattoo a 'd.i.c.k' on his forehead?”
”What 'd.i.c.k'?”
”Male genitalia.”
”Haha, so it's a c.o.c.k. You really know how to be eloquent. I know about that, but I didn't do it. It's most likely that he offended others and was fixed up by them. That was too f.u.c.king funny. Way too creative. I laughed for a long while last time when I saw it.”
”Don't go off on a tangent. Do you know who did it?”
”This kind of thing isn't something glorious and he didn't tell me too.”
Chen s.h.i.+ took the wad of IOUs and asked Brother Bian to go through them and tell them who he recognized. Brother Bian looked at them one by one. ”This Zhao XX is also a loan shark... I don't know this one... This one seems to be a gambler.”
When he saw Gu Daqiang's IOU, Brother Bian said, ”This is one of Sun Jun's buddies. Sun Jun had deceived him.”
”How do you know?”
”He told me. He once came over with a lot of money to gamble. I asked where the money had come from. He said that it was from an investment project. In fact, it was a leather bag company with which he deceived two well-off friends.”
Brother Bian knew this in such detail that he may have partic.i.p.ated in it himself, but Chen s.h.i.+ didn't pursue this. ”When did this happen?”
”Six months ago!”
