Chapter 158: Chapter 158 BFF?

Hu Ke was also very embarrassed, but at this point, she had no other choice.

"Shuya, just now... I’m sorry about just now, I... I was talking nonsense. We are good girlfriends, you... can you help me, please help me..."

Trembling, Hu Ke said, "I... I really don’t have any money. Today... today Young Master Su won so much, several tens of billions, he... he won’t care about the little money I owe, right? Shuya, can... can you go and plead with Young Master Su, ask him to let me go, please?"

"Hu Ke, if I remember correctly, that’s not how you talked before," Wang Shuya said coldly. "Didn’t you say that even if I kneel on the ground and beg you, you wouldn’t pay me any attention? What now, you have double standards when dealing with people? If you had won, even if I knelt and begged you it wouldn’t have mattered. Now that you’ve lost, you want to talk about feelings? Hu Ke, were we ever really that close?"

Hu Ke’s face turned ashen. Thinking back on what she had just said filled her with an intense desire to beat herself up.

She used to have a decent relationship with Wang Shuya. Although she was somewhat vain, Wang Shuya had always treated her well.

Considering their relationship and the connection between Wang Shuya and Su Yang, with just a word from Wang Shuya, the money she lost amounted to nothing. Furthermore, she could have used this opportunity to get close to a person like Su Yang, who defied the odds, ensuring her influence and prestige in all aspects in the future.

But now, all of that was out of the question. Thinking about the derogatory things she had said to Su Yang earlier, like calling him a bumpkin living off a woman or a worthless nobody, she was overwhelmed with shame and fear. Can words that have already been spoken be taken back?

"Shuya, what’s there to talk about with this kind of person?" Hu Xiexie said. "When they’re on top, they don’t see you as a friend. The moment they’re down, they immediately start talking about feelings. Is that what friends are? You guys, take these three upstairs and treat them ’nicely.’ Especially this Zhou Lin, his mouth is too sharp—make sure to knock out all his teeth for me!"

These underlings all knew that Hu Xiexie and Su Yang had a good relationship. What Hu Xiexie said was as good as an imperial edict.

"Miss Hu, rest assured, soon I will bring his teeth for you to see!" An underling said with a bow and smile.

"What’s there to see in teeth, how disgusting," Hu Xiexie waved dismissively. "Flush them down the toilet!"

"Yes, ma’am!" The underling immediately nodded.

Zhou Lin’s lips trembled. He had insulted Hu Xiexie earlier, calling her a cheap person, and now he was facing this predicament; what more could he say?

In the end, Hu Ke, Zhou Lin, and Hee Quan were all taken upstairs, and whatever was to happen to them—that was their problem.

As for these small-time players, Su Yang couldn’t be bothered with them. But that didn’t mean he would let them off easily.

Hu Ke had borrowed three or four hundred thousand here, Hee Quan three or four hundred thousand, and Zhou Lin several million. This money would all have to come from their families. If they couldn’t provide it, then they certainly wouldn’t be able to leave.

As for how their families would deal with them after paying the ransom, that was none of Su Yang’s concern. By doing this, he was also teaching them a lesson on the pecking order of things.

In an upstairs room, all the Bosses, along with Zhao Feipeng and others, including Huang Yang’s people, were gathered.

Zhao Feipeng was seriously injured, almost lying on the couch, continuously coughing.

The four Bosses and people like Huang Yang were all downcast and extremely embarrassed. This time, not only had they lost miserably, but the key issue was that they had offended someone they shouldn’t have offended—that was the real disaster.

The room’s door opened and Su Yang walked in, accompanied by Ling Zi with utmost respect and politeness.

Su Yang had a faint smile on his face, but to those inside the room, the Su Yang they saw now might as well have been a demon!

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting," Su Yang said as he took a seat on the sofa.

"Ma... Master Su is too polite..." Chen Biao said, sweating profusely. "Waiting for Master Su... that’s... that’s what we should do..."

"Elder Chen sure has a way with words!" Su Yang said with a light smile.

Chen Biao didn’t know if Su Yang’s remark was a compliment or a sarcastic comment, his expression embarrassingly awkward.

"Enough with the small talk, let’s get down to business," Su Yang said with a smile. "Today, I’ve kept you all here mainly because there’s a little matter that needs to be dealt with."

The four sat up straight, knowing they couldn’t escape the inevitable.

In a soft voice, Su Yang said, "I also asked Ling Zi earlier, and it seems that he doesn’t hold any grudges against the four of you. So, I’d like to ask, what was your purpose in joining forces with the four families to drain the Qingyun Clubhouse of its assets?"

The four men hung their heads, none daring to speak.

"If you four don’t wish to answer, I won’t pry further," Su Yang said with a faint smile. "Everyone has their own thoughts, and there’s no need to explain your actions to others. However, if you’ve done something wrong, you need to accept the consequences, which I believe everyone understands, right?"

The color drained from their faces. The real question was, what kind of punishment would they have to accept?

"Master Su, this time... we were in the wrong on this matter. We were blinded by greed... that’s why... we caused such trouble..." Wu Tianxiong said in a low voice. "I want to apologize to Master Su here and now!"

The other three also apologized one after another, to which Su Yang responded with a faint smile. Once they finished, he spoke softly, "Apologizing is necessary, of course. But surely just an apology won’t be enough, will it?"

"Definitely not enough just to apologize," Yang Laohu chimed in quickly. "Master Su, whatever you command, just say the word, and we four will see it done without a frown."

"Ah, don’t mention it, I do actually have a small favor to ask," Su Yang said with a smile.

"Master Su, give your command, and we four will go through fire and water without a single complaint!" Chen Biao immediately said, clearly the most frightened of them all. After all, it was he who just had the conflict with Su Yang.

"This matter is actually a bit embarrassing to bring up," Su Yang said with a smile. "You see, my brother-in-law has started a company, but lately, there’s been a bit of a cash flow issue. As you’ve seen at the Qingyun Clubhouse here, we were duped once and almost ran out of money; I’m really short on liquid funds. This is a difficult issue indeed!"

All four were sharp-minded and immediately understood what Su Yang was getting at. What did he mean by the Qingyun Clubhouse being short on liquid funds? They had just won forty or fifty billion today! Plainly speaking, Su Yang was asking them to cough up the cash!

But at this point, what mattered most was keeping their lives. The money was a trivial matter!

"Rest assured, Master Su!" Chen Biao said immediately. "However much liquid funds you need, just say the word, and I’ll arrange for it to be sent over at once!"

The other three also nodded repeatedly. Su Yang smiled and said, "It’s not much, just ten or twenty billion should be enough!"
