A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 8 Emergency Rescue

Wu Cheng had just found a seat at Zhang Fei's steamed bun shop when his phone rang. It was his roommate, the third one in the dorm, calling. Wu Cheng answered the phone and heard his roommate's voice, which sounded like he was about to cry: "Big brother, do you have any money? I need your help urgently."

What's wrong with the third brother?

Of the four students in the dormitory, Wu Cheng was the poorest. He ate instant noodles for half the month and steamed buns with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce for the other half.

The third brother was from the wealthiest family. Whenever his classmates had trouble making money, they would go to the third brother for help. Everyone called the third brother "Rich Third Brother". How come this Rich Third Brother is now borrowing money from Wu Cheng, this poor wretch?

“A little, how much do you need to borrow?” Wu Cheng asked.

"Just transfer the money to me, whatever you have." The third brother said this, then suddenly screamed.

Just then, a gruff male voice came through the phone: "Hey kid, are you Liu Shihao's classmate? Your classmate's been drinking here without paying, so we've got him detained. Hurry up and send the money over."

The third brother was detained?

This guy likes to go to bars and have a few drinks, and he often comes back saying he's hooked up with some pretty girls, but I've never seen him take a picture with any of them. I guess he's just bragging.

Wu Cheng's heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down. Now that he had the system protecting him, he wasn't going to be nervous about such a small matter: "Can't I transfer the money?"

"Stop talking nonsense. We told you to bring it over, so bring it over yourself. This is a bar. I'll send you the address. Hurry up and get over here. Don't try anything funny. If you're an hour late, we'll chop off one of Liu Shih-hao's fingers."

A while later, Wu Cheng received a location on his phone. He hailed a taxi and followed the location to the bar.

Standing at the bar entrance, Wu Cheng took a deep breath.

He had a feeling that this matter was not simple.

Normally, if someone encounters a bar scammer, they'd rather the person not go there, as long as the money is transferred. But now he's being asked to personally deliver the money, which might mean someone is trying to sabotage him.

As soon as I entered the bar lobby, two men dressed as security guards approached me: "You're here to pay? Come in with us."

Upon entering a private room in the bar, they saw that the third brother had been stripped naked from the waist up, with shoe prints on his body, handprints on his face, and dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he had been given a severe beating.

A man was squatting on the bar table in front of Lao San, watching him.

When the two security guards saw Wu Cheng enter the house, they closed the door and stood by the door to prevent Wu Cheng and his group from escaping.

Wu Cheng frowned: "Didn't I bring you money? Why are you hitting me?"

At this moment, the man turned his face, revealing a long scar on his face that looked like a centipede crawling on his face, which was quite terrifying: "Actually, the person I want to hit is not him, but you. Hold this kid down there too."

Upon hearing his command, two security guards came over and restrained Wu Cheng. Wu Cheng sighed inwardly, realizing that he would have to spend a large sum of money again.

"Who are you? I don't know you, and I have no grudge against you. Why are you arresting me?"

Wu Cheng was confident and not particularly afraid. He planned to stall them for a while, and if things got really bad, he would resort to calisthenics.

“We have no grudge against you, but we also have no grudge against money,” the scarred man said. “Someone paid me to teach you a lesson.”

How much did he pay?

The scarred man was somewhat surprised by Wu Cheng's question.

Most people would ask who hired the scarred man to teach Wu Cheng a lesson.

But Wu Cheng asked how much money it cost.

A thought struck him: "What, do you want to pay double the price to beat them up again?"

"You're right. I can pay double for the person who hired you to beat me up." Wu Cheng had already guessed who paid someone to deal with him. Besides Young Master Lu, there shouldn't be anyone else.

It seems that Young Master Lu is really not giving up. He sent his brothers over and they got beaten up, and now he's come up with this new trick.

He didn't care about targeting himself, but he dragged his third brother into it as well.

This infuriated Wu Cheng, so he decided to retaliate in kind, especially since Wu Cheng now had the financial means to do so.

Moreover, he was determined that as long as the double price was within the range of the cost of radio calisthenics, he would be willing to spend the money.

Seeing the scarred man hesitate, Wu Cheng knew he was tempted, so he added, "I have a check for three million here. If you can help me beat up the people who invited you, the check is yours."

Three million? The scarred man's eyes narrowed instantly: "Are you telling the truth?"

Wu Cheng shook him twice: "Let me go, and I'll give it to you."

The scarred man pointed, and the two security guards released Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng took the check out of the cat house and handed it to the scarred man: "It's a check from Xuanlong Bank. You can check it as you please."

The scarred man never expected that Wu Cheng would actually pull out such a large check, just to save his brother.

He took the check and counted the zeros on it.

That's right, a three followed by six zeros, that's three million.

He was overjoyed, but also a little worried. This was too much money. Would this kid be trying to harm him by taking out so much money all at once?

No, I really need to look at it carefully.

His gaze swept over the signature on the check, and when he saw the three neat characters "Gu Rulong" on the signature, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Grandpa Gu, this check was written by you for Wu Cheng, which means you and Wu Cheng have a very close relationship.

The scarred man was also a member of the underworld; he knew who he could offend and who he couldn't. In Longqiu, the Gu family was like a god.

And Old Master Gu is the most important person in the Gu family. It can be said that if Old Master Gu coughs, Long Qiu will be thunderstruck.

I almost offended Old Master Gu's friend. If Old Master Gu finds out, I won't even know how I died.

Thinking of this, the scarred man broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately put on a smiling face and pushed the check back to Wu Cheng: "Young man, I was just testing you earlier. I didn't expect you to be so loyal. You didn't even blink an eye when you spent three million for your brother. I admire you."

Wu Cheng didn't expect the scarred man to change his mind so quickly. He had originally taken out the check, intending to give it to the scarred man and then call Old Master Gu to cancel it.

But this tactic won't work now. But that's fine too. Whatever the reason, seeing how enthusiastically the scarred man is trying to get close to him, the bar incident is probably over.
