Second update,
...
The situation had progressed to such a point that Young Master Yang finally had some understanding of what was happening. The Wang Zhong standing by his side had offended the people across from them and had even caused some serious trouble. The other party had come to settle the score with Wang Zhong...
As for himself, he was merely collateral damage. If he hadn't actively intervened, he wouldn't have had his face swept over by someone else's broom.
Yet even so, this didn't give him the slightest joy or relief, but instead, it made him hate Qin Fang even more.
"Damn it, if you want to deal with someone, just deal with them! Why not just say it outright? Instead, you have to make such a scene, causing me to lose face so badly... This is too much," Young Master Yang thought to himself. However, he didn't consider that if he hadn't buzzed over like a fly discovering a pile of cow dung, would Qin Fang have bothered to cause such a fuss with him?
"What an idiot! Thought he was so tough, turns out to be brainless..."
With Chen Gang and Shen Liang in place, Young Master Yang had no choice but to behave himself. But when he saw that Qin Fang had proposed such a stupid condition, even he, an outsider, couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.
Wang Zhong's identity was unclear to him. He might not have been fully aware of the extent, but judging from the noise Wang Zhong had made just by talking, it was clear that Wang Zhong was no good egg. Furthermore, Wang Zhong's identity was a mystery that even he did not know, nor whether the name Wang Zhong was even real or fake...
Was there any use for an IOU written by such a person?
Obviously, this was questionable!
Wang Zhong's identity was likely fake, an identity he had fabricated on the fly, so an IOU written under such a non-existent identity—how could it possibly be honored?
It was with this thought that Qin Fang's condition seemed indeed idiotic, and it was natural that he should be ridiculed.
Even Su Yuan, who sat beside Qin Fang, was left dumbfounded by the condition that Qin Fang had changed. She could not believe it for a long time, and in that moment of hesitation, Wang Zhong had already started writing the IOU.
Su Yuan opened her mouth as if to say something to Qin Fang, but before she could utter a word, she was gently pulled by Tang Feifei beside her, who shook her head slightly as a sign.
Although Su Yuan was perplexed, when she looked at Tang Feifei's delicate, smiling face and those profound eyes, she vaguely felt that the matter might not be so simple. Thus, the words that had come to her lips were forcefully swallowed back.
Wang Zhong had not expected things to go so smoothly. Qin Fang's assertiveness left him with no chance to resist, so he could only use the limited resources he had to deal with the situation, minimizing his losses...
Of course, escaping without paying a dime would be the best outcome possible.
But just when Wang Zhong had almost entirely lost hope, Qin Fang unexpectedly offered him such a "surprise" gift—how could he not be thrilled?
He was a swindler who conned people everywhere, using fake names and IDs, but now Qin Fang was having him write an IOU under the name Wang Zhong that he was currently using. If he managed to escape from here, such an IOU would be meaningless, as he would certainly switch to another name...
Wang Zhong was busily writing the IOU, while Qin Fang seemed completely unconcerned, whispering and laughing with Tang Feifei, not taking the matter to heart at all.
This scene further puzzled onlookers, and Young Master Yang's heart was cursing Qin Fang viciously. His look towards Qin Fang no longer held the previous awe and resentment but had turned into contempt, ridicule, and disdain...
At the same time, he was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the people he had called for, finding it quite hard to endure. He really wanted to slam the table and curse Qin Fang as an "idiot" right then and there.
But since the people he had summoned hadn't arrived and seeing Qin Fang's formidable subordinates, he kept his bold ambitions cowardly shrunken inside, not daring to show them.
The only thing he could express was his contempt for Qin Fang, believing that only a fool could do such a thing...
"Sigh, such a waste of those two stunning beauties... to think they were taken in by such a fool!" Young Master Yang thought to himself, his eyes involuntarily stealing glances at Tang Feifei and Su Yuan...but his movements were very discreet, as he was currently in a semi-invisible state!
"Wait a second..."
Just as Wang Zhong was about to finish writing the content of the IOU, Qin Fang suddenly called out, and Wang Zhong immediately stopped, looking at Qin Fang with a surprised face.
"I'm a bit old-fashioned; I don't like to use signatures. Let's use a thumbprint instead..." Qin Fang said leisurely.
Shen Liang was also exceptionally cooperative, immediately presenting the red ink pad and placing it before Wang Zhong!
Now, Wang Zhong was even more confused about Qin Fang's intentions and stood there for a moment, unsure of how to proceed.
"Could he have some ulterior motive?"
Wang Zhong's heart skipped a beat as he swiftly reviewed the entire incident in his mind, trying to find any schemes Qin Fang might be playing. But he couldn't come up with any tactics that would be detrimental to him.
A fingerprint in itself doesn't really represent anything; at most, it's just a fingerprint. But Wang Zhong knew his background well. Although he had deceived many people, the police had no record of him, and to discover his true identity based on fingerprints was practically impossible...
"Could it really just be a personal quirk?"
Wang Zhong had been a swindler for so long, deceiving not a few people, and he had encountered many with peculiar habits. Although refusing to sign and preferring to use ink was extremely rare, it was just one of the many special quirks he had seen. Wang Zhong had even come across those with more bizarre habits, so Qin Fang's request at most seemed like child's play to him.
"Alright, no problem..."
Having thought long and hard with no revelation of any trick Qin Fang could use to put him in jeopardy, Wang Zhong felt quite relieved. Moreover, he desperately needed to escape from Qin Fang's grasp, so he had to agree to such a condition.
Therefore, Wang Zhong pressed his finger into the inkpad and left a red fingerprint on the IOU... With that, the IOU was nearly complete.
"Young Master Qin, it's done..."
Wang Zhong handed over the IOU to Qin Fang respectfully and politely, looking at Qin Fang with eyes filled with a fervent hope that he would be let go immediately.
Qin Fang merely took the IOU from his hands, examined it, and then passed it to Tang Feifei and Su Yuan to take a look...
"Seeing how obedient you are, I won't make things too difficult for you today..."
Qin Fang seemed quite satisfied with the IOU as he flicked it lightly, saying with a smile. To Wang Zhong at that moment, those words were like heavenly music, and he seemed completely relieved.
However...
Before Wang Zhong's smile had time to reach his face, he saw Qin Fang suddenly pick up the pen from the table and swiftly write a few characters on the IOU.
If they were just ordinary characters, Wang Zhong wouldn't have paid much attention. After all, his name and everything about him was fake; whether it was writing that he owed Qin Fang thirty million, three hundred million, or thirty billion, it was all meaningless...
But Qin Fang had suddenly written three characters—characters that looked like someone's name—in the very spot where he had pressed his finger!
Li Tianyou!
Those were the three characters Qin Fang had written on the IOU, which appeared to be someone's name. Almost as soon as Qin Fang wrote them, Wang Zhong's face turned deathly pale.
"You... you... how do you know..."
Wang Zhong, his face pale and fingers trembling slightly, pointed at Qin Fang, who was putting away the IOU, and incredulously said.
"How do I know your real name is Li Tianyou, right? Haha... Unfortunately, I'm not going to tell you!"
Qin Fang had a smile on his face, his eyes filled with extreme irony and mockery. The swindler Wang Zhong had thought he had covered his tracks perfectly, that even in dire straits he was still fighting fiercely, trying to minimize his losses...
As for being afraid of Qin Fang, it would be more accurate to say he feared Qin Fang's two bodyguards. He really didn't think much of Qin Fang, who had come up with such a foolish idea.
But looking back, Wang Zhong realized that the one controlling the entire situation was not he himself, but the Qin Fang he had overlooked and underestimated.
Seeing Qin Fang's successful turnaround, although Tang Feifei had already been a bit aware of it, she was still extremely happy when it happened.
Su Yuan was also stunned. When she heard Qin Fang say he would let Wang Zhong go, her heart leaped into her throat, and she almost shouted out loud.
But at this moment, Qin Fang suddenly pulled out his killer move, cutting Wang Zhong down... Su Yuan nearly wanted to scream in excitement and plant a big kiss on Qin Fang's face.
Of course, considering Qin Fang's girlfriend was right there, it would be a bit too rash to do such a thing, so she had to temporarily abandon this plan.
"You tricked me?"
Wang Zhong, no, it should be said as Li Tianyou, his face transformed from shocked to extremely angry and resentful, looked at Qin Fang with immense bitterness.
"It's just mutual deception... If you use a fake name on an IOU, what right do you have to criticize me?"
Qin Fang simply smiled calmly, folded the IOU neatly and put it away, "Don't even think of escaping; that's nearly impossible... If you insist on being obstinate, I can just go directly to the Li family to collect the debt. I just wonder if the powerful Li family can afford to lose such face!" (To be continued.
