Chapter 131: Loan sharks come knocking on the door?
South King Street, Homeless Park.
Inside the spacious and luxurious medical tent, Lynn leaned back in a soft boss's chair.
[Host] Lynn

He glanced up and down, then nodded with great satisfaction.
Perhaps it was because the news of his heroic act of destroying the Blood Wolf Gang had spread far and wide, or perhaps his name had become a household name in this neighborhood.
There were significantly more homeless people coming to collect supplies today than yesterday.
Correspondingly, the gratitude value also increases rapidly, far exceeding the acquisition speed of other emotion values.
Staring at the overwhelmingly higher gratitude score, Lynn already had a plan in mind.
Once the feeling of gratitude reaches another level, it will be used to upgrade other survival skills.
With these thoughts in mind, Lynn closed the panel.
Looking up at Mike, who was grinning and showing off his bright white teeth, he didn't hold back in praising him: "Well done."
That's right, Mike was still in charge of distributing supplies today.
This kid was probably afraid Kane would snatch this lucrative job, so he arrived even earlier this morning than yesterday.
"Hehe, thank you, Boss! It's nothing I should do!"
Mike immediately rubbed his hands together with a fawning expression, completely ignoring the disdainful look Kane was giving him.
"Oh, right."
Lynn tapped her fingers lightly on the table and casually asked, "Did three people come to see you yesterday? A lawyer, a driver, and a professor?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Yes!" Mike nodded vigorously.
"Hmm, send someone to observe them first, don't let them get too involved with the Black Dragon Society, I'll need them later," Lynn instructed with a slight glint in his eyes.
"Understood, Boss!" Mike patted his chest and agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy." Lynn waved her hand.
Mike immediately bowed politely, "Then I'll get back to work."
Before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Kane with a sarcastic tone: "Hey, make sure to protect the BOSS's safety."
Having said that, he scurried away, lifting the curtain as if he were in a hurry.
Kane's lips twitched suddenly, and his mouth opened and closed silently.
Although no sound was uttered, the shape of his mouth clearly indicated that it wasn't something nice to say.
It's highly likely that he's sending greetings to Mike's immediate family.
"Let's start early today."
Lynn stood up, grabbed a white coat from the side and put it on, saying as she buttoned it, "Come out with me this afternoon."
Having said that, he was already sitting steadily at the triage desk.
"Understood!" Kane nodded immediately, took two steps back to stand behind Lynn, and then shouted loudly towards the outside of the tent, "First place!"
Soon, patients filed in.
……
"Oh! Great Mr. Lin, you are the brightest sun in this dark slum, the only savior of my whole family!"
"Mr. Lin, your medical skills are simply miraculous, like the coming of Jesus. Even kissing the mud from the soles of your shoes wouldn't be enough to express my respect and loyalty to you!"
"Praise be to the kind and benevolent Mr. Lin! You are truly a living saint on South King Street! My gratitude to you flows like the Mississippi River!"
"..."
[Thanksgiving +6]
[Thanksgiving +5]
[Thanksgiving +7]
"..."
Accompanied by extremely cheesy and exaggerated expressions of gratitude, and a frenzy of "thank you points" flooding the screen, the consultation quickly became a hot topic.
Perhaps knowing that Lynn had something to do in the afternoon, today's symptoms were mostly minor and were dealt with very quickly.
Before noon, the queue outside had already dwindled to almost nothing.
Unusually, Lynn chose to rest early at noon.
"Gurgle!"
Having just seen off a patient, Lynn's empty stomach began to protest.
The sound echoed clearly within the quiet tent.
Lynn touched her stomach, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
He then turned to look at Kane and coughed lightly, "Let's rest for a while and have a meal."
He hadn't had a hot breakfast since Mrs. Hill left home.
Especially after last night's exhilarating sparring match, and then having my energy drained early this morning, my stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Let's order takeout..."
Within seconds, Lynn had an idea.
Just as he took out his phone to order a pizza or burger, a sudden, urgent ringtone rang out.
The screen displayed a string of unfamiliar numbers with no contact information.
Lynn frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he still chose to answer the call.
As soon as the call connected, a gruff and domineering male voice came through: "You're Lynn, right?"
"It's me." Lynn leaned back in her chair and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm from Blackstone's debt collection agency! Your debt is severely overdue, and we've already issued more than three warnings! Today, we need your money!"
The man was extremely arrogant and aggressive.
Blackstone debt collection agency?
Lynn's expression was clear; it was the same organization that had been relentlessly sending collection text messages.
Thinking of this, Lynn casually crossed his legs and spoke calmly:
"I don't have that much cash on hand right now. I'll pay it back on Thursday...Friday, I guess."
After saying that, he prepared to hang up immediately.
This was planned long ago.
Once the system allows withdrawals on Thursday, the tens of thousands of yuan in debt will be nothing; it's just a matter of paying for peace and quiet.
"etc!"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly rose in pitch, followed by a string of vulgar curses:
"You brat, can't you understand human language? Don't push your luck! I said I'd get it today, and I mean it today!"
"Let me see your bill... Including late fees and interest, you owe me a total of $60,000 today, plus $3,000 for travel expenses! Do you understand?!"
Sixty thousand dollars?
Upon hearing the number, Lynn laughed out loud, skipping all the formalities.
These vampires are skipping even the pretense of going through the motions, aren't they?
I only borrowed a little over 30,000 dollars initially, and in just a short time since I defaulted, it has doubled to 60,000 dollars?
This isn't loan sharking; this is outright robbery!
"Kid, what are you laughing at?!" Hearing Lynn's light laughter, the man opposite him became even more annoyed.
"Don't think we can't find you just because you haven't registered your current address! I advise you to prepare your money properly. If our people come to your door in person, it won't be so easy to resolve!"
Then, the man's tone shifted, becoming undisguisedly vulgar and lewd:
"If you really don't have any money, I do have some connections. You look pretty good in the photos, how about you work as a prostitute in the red-light district?"
"With looks like yours, tsk tsk... if you sell your ass a few more times, you'll earn that money back quickly!"
"Don't worry, once you're officially listed, I'll definitely be the first one to patronize your business! Hahahaha!"
Unrestrained, maniacal laughter echoed through the receiver.
Lynn listened quietly to the other person's foul language without expression.
But his deep eyes turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Originally, he planned to wait until Thursday to withdraw the money and then honestly repay it.
But now it seems that the other party clearly regarded him as a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated and a stick that could be slaughtered at will.
Thinking of this, Lynn's lips curled slightly, forming a cold and icy smile:
"Here's what we'll do. I'll pay back 30,000 today. If you want the money back, come and get it yourselves."
"Thirty thousand?" The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then erupted in another barrage of vicious curses:
"Damn it! I knew you were rich! Why didn't you just hand it over already? You had to be so stubborn! Tell me! Where are you now?! I'm taking my men to get it right now!"
"South King Street, Homeless Park".
After slowly uttering those words, Lynn hung up the phone without giving the other person a chance to continue speaking.
After the phone call ended, a deathly silence fell inside the medical tent.
The air seemed to become heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Kane keenly sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Lynn and immediately stepped forward, bowing slightly: "Boss, what do you need me to do?"
Lynn didn't answer directly, but turned to look outside the tent: "How many people are still in line outside?"
Kane immediately went to the door, lifted the curtain, glanced around, and then approached to report: "Not many left, only three or four."
Lynn nodded: "Let them go. Tell them to come back tomorrow."
"Understood!" Kane had some doubts but didn't ask any further questions. He immediately turned around and went to clear the area.
Just a few minutes later, Kane approached again: "Boss, the area has been cleared."
"Um."
Lynn leaned back in her chair, her fingers interlaced on her lower abdomen, and spoke softly:
"A few loan shark scum will be coming to collect their money from me later. When they arrive, bring them in directly, understand?"
"clear!"
Kane's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
A blush of excitement couldn't be hidden on his usually stern face.
He's been working here as a security guard to maintain order for the past few days, and he's getting so bored.
Finally, at least we can have some fun and stretch our muscles!
"Remember, don't kill anyone."
Seeing Kane's expression, Lynn gave him a word of advice out of concern.
"Don't worry, Boss! My men know what they're doing!"
Kane grinned broadly, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.
……
About half an hour later.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With three dull thuds, the heavy curtains of the medical tent were suddenly flung open.
Three tall, muscular figures were thrown in from the outside with a strange force, like tattered sacks.
The three of them crashed onto the uneven ground, letting out a painful howl.
At this moment, the three of them looked extremely miserable.
The white man on the left had his black vest, which was originally tight around his body, torn into strips, revealing his full-arm tattoos.
At this moment, his nasal bridge had completely collapsed, and blood from his nose covered the lower half of his face.
The man on the right is a burly Black man wearing a tattered leather jacket, who is curled up on the ground in pain, clutching his obviously broken right leg.
The one in the middle was a Latino man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a thick gold chain around his neck.
He looked the worst off, with one eye bruised and swollen.
The last remaining slit was filled with terror, and blood was still seeping from the corner of his mouth.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
Kane followed closely behind, his cold gaze sweeping over the three people on the ground before bowing slightly to Lynn: "Boss, these are them."
Lynn leaned back in the boss's chair, looking down at the three people and scanning them over, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger: "Who made the call just now?"
The tent was deathly silent; Kane had long since terrified the three burly men from outside.
They were all trembling, too frightened to utter a sound.
Kane's face darkened, and he raised his foot and kicked the middle Latino man hard in the stomach, yelling, "The boss is asking you a question! Are you deaf?!"
"Cough cough cough... It's...it's me!"
The Latino man arched his back in agony like a shrimp, coughed up a mouthful of sour saliva, and raised his hands in terror.
Lynn leaned slightly forward, her gaze fixed on him with amusement: "Oh? So you mean... you're going to send me to the red-light district to work as a prostitute?"
"I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
The Latino man clearly understood that he had kicked a hornet's nest today.
Anyone with such ruthless methods must be a big shot in the underworld who is not to be trifled with!
In less than a second, he suddenly turned over and knelt on the ground, frantically kowtowing to Lynn, his forehead hitting the floor with a series of dull thuds.
Then he raised his hands and slapped his own face hard with both hands.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The crisp sound of slapping echoed inside the tent.
"It was my fault for being so foul-mouthed! I was blind to your greatness! Please, just let it go! I'll never do it again!"
Seeing the other person's pathetic state with snot and tears streaming down their face, Lynn suddenly felt a sense of boredom.
I thought those who dared to lend money at exorbitant interest rates would have some backbone, but it turns out they're all cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Lynn's eyes were indifferent: "I'll ask you one more time, how much money do I owe you?"
"No debt! No debt!"
The Latino man in the middle shook his head frantically: "When have you ever owed us money? No money! Not a single penny!"
Lynn's brows furrowed immediately, and a chilling glint instantly filled his eyes:
"A debt is a debt! I'm asking you one last time, how much money do I owe? Give me a precise figure! Otherwise..."
"Click!"
Before Lynn could even finish speaking, Kane swiftly and efficiently drew his pistol from his waist and cocked it.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pressed directly against the man's forehead.
"Say it!! I'll say it!"
Feeling the cold metallic touch on his forehead, the Latino man's brain began to work at the fastest speed he had ever experienced.
Within three seconds, she screamed in a piercingly high-pitched voice, "Thirty thousand in principal! Only thirty thousand in principal!!"
"Thirty thousand?"
Lynn raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips: "No interest?"
"No! No!" The man was nearly scared to death, waving his hands frantically. "Our interest is illegal, not protected by law, and you don't need to repay it!"
Oh?
Lynn glanced at the other person with some surprise. This guy was quite the opportunist, and his mind worked fast enough.
Lynn tapped the table: "Can you make the decision on this 30,000?"
"Yes! Yes! I can definitely make the decision!" At this moment, how could the man dare to say a word of dissent? He nodded hurriedly, as if afraid that if he was even a second too slow in answering, his head would be blown off.
"Alright." Lynn waved his hand casually. "You guys can go now."
???
The three people on the ground, who were waiting to die, were instantly stunned.
They looked at each other, completely baffled as to what Lynn meant.
Lynn stood up slowly, straightened her white coat, and said in a low voice, "Come here on Friday with the IOU to collect that 30,000 yuan. Understand? If you understand, then get out!"
It is only right to pay back debts, and of course he should pay back this money.
But this does not mean he is a sucker who can be taken advantage of.
"Get out of here! Are you waiting to die?!"
Kane shouted coldly, his whole body radiating murderous intent.
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll leave right away!"
The three of them felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and they scrambled out of the tent in a panic, as if they were afraid that their parents had given them two less legs.
After the three figures had completely disappeared, Kane suddenly stepped forward, his eyes filled with a sinister glint:
"Boss, should we find a secluded spot tonight... and take them out?"
Lynn's lips twitched violently, and she almost lost her balance.
He glanced at the murderer with a hint of helplessness: "No need. They're just a bunch of low-class trash. We have a lot of important things to do. Don't waste your energy on these trivial matters."
As he spoke, Lynn glanced at the time, then took off his white coat and hung it aside.
"Alright, come with me first. Let's grab something to eat, and after we finish eating..."
A glint flashed in Lynn's eyes: "Grab your gear and come with me to find Brother Xin."
Upon hearing this, Kane's eyes instantly gleamed.
He puffed out his muscular chest, his deep voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "Understood! Boss!"
