Chapter 426 Taking Responsibility As A Person
"Sis, please open the door!"
"If I get caught by this group of people, I\'m done for!"
Zhang Shan frantically knocked on the door from outside, his voice trembling with fear.
Even just listening, one could tell that he was genuinely terrified!
Unable to bear her brother\'s pitiful voice any longer, Zhang Min immediately opened the door and said, "Come in quickly."
Zhang Shan was filled with extreme terror. As soon as he rushed in, he closed the door and firmly pressed against it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, there were intense banging sounds from outside the door, accompanied by many shouts and curses:
"You bastard, Zhang Shan, you can\'t escape, open the door!"
"If you don\'t open the door, I\'ll kill your whole family, believe me?"
The curses and banging sounds outside the door overwhelmed Zhang Shan, and he anxiously pleaded for help, "Sis, please help me, hold the door, don\'t let them break in."
"This is a hospital, they will leave soon!"
"Otherwise, once they rush in, we\'re finished."
He made a wishful calculation, knowing that he couldn\'t escape now after being kicked by Wang Chao twice. Instead of fleeing in panic, he might as well hold up the door.
Once the hospital security and officials come out and persuade those people outside to leave, he would be safe.
Zhang Min was completely unprepared for this situation, and she turned pale with fear on the spot. She hurriedly used her body to brace the door of the ward, looking worried and scared.
Wang Chao sat there motionless, uninterested in getting involved.
From the looks of it, Zhang Shan had caused a particularly big commotion. If he wasn\'t taught a lesson, he probably wouldn\'t change his ways for the rest of his life.
So at this moment, Wang Chao had no intention of helping Zhang Shan.
However, the banging on the door from outside grew louder and seriously disrupted Zhang Dongjun\'s rest.
Wang Chao\'s expression darkened, and he stood up, walking towards Zhang Shan and Zhang Min. "Move aside!"
"Brother Wang."
Zhang Shan\'s eyes brightened.
Wang Chao stood up, was he going to lend him a hand?
Thinking this, Zhang Shan quickly stepped aside.
As he stood up, Zhang Min alone couldn\'t withstand the impact of the people outside banging on the door and was pushed back. If it weren\'t for Wang Chao\'s quick reflexes in catching her, she would have fallen to the ground.
"You\'re willing to open the door now? Brothers, let\'s beat them up!!"
At the entrance, a fierce middle-aged man roared in anger and was about to attack Zhang Shan. However, before he could finish his sentence, Wang Chao grabbed his face with one hand and lifted him up, then threw him out.
The tremendous force knocked all the people outside to the ground, causing them to cry out in pain.
Zhang Shan and Zhang Min were overjoyed and felt relieved.
Wang Chao was indeed powerful, casually tossing those people out. Moreover, looking at Wang Chao\'s calm demeanor, even if a fight were to break out later, he probably wouldn\'t lose.
"This is a hospital, a place for saving lives. What are you making a fuss about?" Wang Chao scolded.
His voice wasn\'t loud, but it carried a peculiar charm that silenced all the thugs.
The middle-aged man who was thrown out by Wang Chao earlier looked at him with a fearful gaze and trembled, "You bastard, who are you? How dare you meddle in our Shen family\'s affairs?"
Although they had only exchanged glances, he had already sensed that Wang Chao was extraordinary and knew he wouldn\'t be easy to deal with.
"The Shen family?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
"That\'s right, the Shen family of Canton City. Have you heard of Shen Bing, the richest woman in Canton?" The middle-aged man stood up and pointed at Zhang Shan across from Wang Chao. He said, "This person borrowed over one million from our Shen family, and it\'s been overdue for seven days!"
"Today, we\'ve come to collect the money!"
"Friend, you\'d better not interfere in this matter, otherwise, when our Shen family gets angry, you won\'t be able to stop us!"
"Overdue for seven days?" Wang Chao turned his cold gaze back to Zhang Shan. "It seems you\'re even worse than I imagined."
He had noticed that Zhang Shan had been playing cards all night and owed money, but he hadn\'t expected that Zhang Shan had been in debt for a long time and was now being pursued by someone.
Moreover, after owing money, this guy didn\'t try to find a way to make money but instead dived deeper into gambling, staying up all night, trying to turn his luck around through gambling skills.
He was simply beyond redemption!
"Brother Wang, this matter is complicated. I can\'t explain it clearly for a while. I beg you to drive these people away, and I\'ll explain it to you later," Zhang Shan pleaded in a hurry.
Wang Chao coldly glanced at him, ignoring him, and turned to the middle-aged man. "So you are from the Shen family? How come I\'ve never heard of the Shen family involved in high-interest business?"
"Heh, you\'ve never heard of it? Let me tell you, our Shen family has been in the high-interest business for a long time. Our eldest brother is Shen Yizong, the legitimate heir of the Shen family!" The middle-aged man boasted proudly and said, "And I am Huang Zixu, a high-ranking subordinate under Shen Yizong\'s command!"
"Shen Yizong? Isn\'t he dead?" Wang Chao asked.
He remembered clearly that Shen Yizong had tried to kill Shen Bing, but after the plot was exposed, he ran away immediately and was killed by an assassin in Baishui Village.
"You bastard, dare you curse the death of our eldest brother? Let me tell you, in our area, everyone knows the fame of our boss. Although he hasn\'t been in contact with us for a long time, how could he possibly be dead?" Huang Zixu retorted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao immediately understood.
Huang Zixu and his group were probably just subordinates of Shen Yizong in this area and likely had no direct contact with the higher-ups of the Shen family. They probably did not have a good relationship with Shen Yizong either. Otherwise, they would not be oblivious of the major incident involving Shen Yizong.
"Alright. When did Zhang Shan borrow money from you?" Wang Chao asked.
Huang Zixu gritted his teeth and angrily replied, "One month ago, he borrowed one million from us. With the compounding interest, he now owes us a total of 1.3 million. Adding the interest, he has to repay us 350,000 today!"
"Otherwise, we won\'t let it go."
"One month and 350,000 in interest? This\'s illegal!" Zhang Min exclaimed.
"What\'s illegal about it? It was a mutually agreed upon arrangement. Ask your brother. Did we not negotiate all the terms before he borrowed money from us?" Huang Zixu retorted.
Zhang Min immediately turned to Zhang Shan and asked, "Is that true?"
Zhang Shan\'s expression turned ugly, and he stuttered without saying a word.
Zhang Min was on the verge of exploding with anger.
Her brother was truly a damned gambler. How dare he borrow money with such high interest rates? He was incredibly audacious.
"Sis, I was wrong. I beg you, ask your husband to help me repay the money, and I won\'t dare again in the future," Zhang Shan quickly pleaded.
"What husband? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Min exclaimed angrily.
"Brother Wang is taking care of our father. He must be your boyfriend, right? I agree to your marriage!" Zhang Shan said.
"You!!" Zhang Min was fuming with anger.
Her brother was beyond redemption!
Wang Chao uttered in a deep voice, "Alright, I\'ll handle it."
"But, Brother Wang..." Zhang Min hesitated.
"Husband, I knew you were the best. If my sister could marry you, that would definitely be..." Zhang Shan exclaimed happily, trying to speak well of Wang Chao.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Wang Chao grabbed him by the neck and threw him in front of Huang Zixu, coldly saying, "Take obligation for your own actions. You caused this trouble, so you solve it yourself!"
"Husband!" Zhang Shan\'s expression changed dramatically, and he tried to get up in a panic.
But Huang Zixu and his men did not let him go. They pinned him down on the ground.
Zhang Shan turned pale with terror on the spot.
"He borrowed the money. You figure out how to make him repay it."
Wang Chao stared at Huang Zixu and the others with a cold gaze and said, "You can handle it however you like, but his life must be spared! Otherwise, you\'ll all die!"
"And this is a hospital. If you have any matters to attend to, get lost and do not disturb the patients\' rest!"
After speaking, he pulled Zhang Min into the hospital room and closed the door.
