Luo Yuxin was beaten black and blue, his body covered in footprints, knees scraped raw. Seeing Cheng Zidong, he ran over like a dog with its tail between its legs, scrambling and begging, "Brother Dong! Brother Dong, I beg you, please give me two more days, just two more days, I’ll definitely get the money!"
"Two more days?"
Cheng Zidong grabbed his hair, a mocking smile on his lips, "Where are you gonna get the money? Sell blood or sell people? Neither’s worth that, right?"
"Hahaha~"
The group of lackeys around burst into laughter.
Luo Yuxin’s mouth was bleeding, "No, no, no, I can get it, I will get it!"
He’d ask his sister for a bit more; she seemed to have taken another commercial recently, surely he could get more from her!
"Luo Yuxin, you’ve got some nerve, running from my debt. What? You think going to the United States means I can’t find you? Haven’t you heard of my name, Brother Dong? Has anyone ever gotten away from their debt with me?" With that, Cheng Zidong kicked him away, "Get lost, you’re filthy."
Luo Yuxin let out a wail, a lackey next to him handed Cheng Zidong a cigarette and a lighter. The white smoke curled between his fingers, as Cheng Zidong flicked the ash, eyeing Luo Yuxin up and down, as if trying to squeeze some remaining value from him.
Really don’t get it, this punk’s like a dog, neither looks nor skill, where does he get tens of thousands for gambling every now and then?
"Luo Yuxin, if this were before, running from a debt would cost you a leg, but now we live in a civilized society. I’m not a brute. Just honestly tell me what’s valuable around you to settle it, and maybe I’ll give you two extra days."
"Otherwise..."
He signaled to a lackey with his eyes.
The dirty and disheveled Luo Yuxin saw a shimmering knife coming toward him, almost scaring the piss out of him.
Cheng Zidong said, "Itinerant World rules, debts must be paid, no money, lose a hand."
"No, no, no! Please, Brother Dong! Don’t..."
Luo Yuxin backed away in terror, quickly racking his brain for anything of value he possessed.
Besides a celebrity sister, he had nothing. Unfortunately, Brother Dong was gay and not into women, so no matter how pretty his sister was, it wouldn’t help!
As the knife-wielding lackey approached Luo Yuxin, another lackey beside him excitedly showed Cheng Zidong an iPad, "Brother Dong, look! The latest entertainment news says Ye Xian won the Golden Cauldron Award at the tenth edition, becoming the youngest TV Emperor in drama history!"
"What?!"
Cheng Zidong almost burned his hand with the cigarette in excitement, grabbing the iPad. Once he saw the stunning young man, shining with brilliance, his face shifted from debt collecting thug to a lovestruck boy, grinning widely, "Truly the boy I fancy, just excellent! But... the bodyguards around him are just too annoying."
Ever since that encounter on the racetrack, he’d been investigating his background, finding out he was a star, and since then he’s only gotten hotter, beyond imagining. The security measures around him also grew stricter; those bodyguards he hired seemed incredibly skilled, his minions didn’t even get a chance to approach him, let alone see him!
Cheng Zidong could only follow his news on the tabloids daily, the more he read, the itchier and more unwilling he felt...
It was the first time he’d been so interested in a boy, yet couldn’t even touch a hair on him, driving him crazy! If a stunning boy like Ye Xian could be his, or even if she smiled at him a few times, it would be bliss like an Immortal!
Cheng Zidong became more fascinated with the news, watching the short video five or six times.
The lackeys all shook their heads, none of them were the type to watch the idol dramas girls liked.
Luo Yuxin: "Brother Dong, you like Ye Xian, you’ve definitely watched his shows, right?"
"Of course, I’ve watched ’Business World’ and ’Conquest of the World’ so much they’re worn out! Even forced myself to watch ’Everyone Has Superpower’ twice!"
"Exactly! My sister was the female lead, Xia Qingshao, in ’Conquest of the World’! Real name Luo Yuwei, if you don’t believe me, you can search for her photo!"
"Brother Dong, he’s talking nonsense, how could a nobody thug like him have a celebrity sister, especially the lead in such a hit drama!"
A lackey was about to hit Luo Yuxin but was stopped by Cheng Zidong, "Wait a minute!"
He typed Luo Yuwei’s name into his phone, and seeing the photo, he thought it looked vaguely familiar.
Looking closely, she was indeed the female lead in ’Conquest of the World’. Only when watching the drama, he’d been focused on Ye Xian, so he hadn’t paid much attention to her. Now comparing them, Luo Yuxin and this Luo Yuwei really did have some resemblance in the eyebrows and eyes, though the aura was significantly less.
One named Luo Yuwei, the other Luo Yuxin, could they really be siblings?
If so, then there’s a reason he’s had tens of thousands for gambling so frequently, he got it from asking his sister.
Never thought this mutt had a respectable sister.
Cheng Zidong set the iPad down, gently slapping him on the head, then suddenly grabbing his collar, scaring Luo Yuxin like a startled bird. "Luo Yuxin, you know the consequence of lying to me, don’t you? It’s not just losing a hand."
