CHAPTER 391 WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY IT BACK?
In the old town of S City, in front of a house that looked a little dilapidated.
Standing at the door of the house, Casey narrowed his eyes, looking at the rusty house number.
Logan told Casey that the person who knew the news about Guanling lived here. After two days of
observation, Casey had confirmed that someone lived here.
Moreover, with Jeremiah's strength in S City, Casey found out the information of the person living here.
The owner of this house was named Freddie, who moved to S City 20 years ago. Before coming to S
City, Freddie used to be a well-known businessman in a first-tier city in the south.
At that time, Freddie was very excellent and got married with a very famous actress in the
entertainment industry at that time.
But the good days didn't last long. Not long after the two got married, one day, the actress finished
filming and went home. Then she died in a car accident on the way home. Because the car was on fire,
Freddie didn't even get his wife's body.
Later, based on the situation at the time, someone speculated that the actress might not have died in
the car, but was taken away. Because nothing like ashes was found on the car, which basically proved
that there was no one on the car at that time. The accident was deliberately forged.
At that time, the incident became a hot spot in society. The police dispatched a lot of people to look for
the whereabouts of the actress. They searched for half a year but still didn’t get any clues. Many
people would rather believe that the actress was burned in the car. No ashes were found at that time
just because the technology at that time was not so good enough.
Of course, some people suspected that this actress was abducted into a poor place by human
traffickers. But the surveillance technology and detection technology 20 years ago were not good, so
the possibility of finding this actress was slim.
As the husband of this actress, Freddie was naturally anxious. He deeply loved his wife. He had always
believed that his wife was not dead but was arrested. He spent a lot of money searching his wife’s
whereabouts.
It was precisely because of the search regardless of the cost that the originally rich Freddie faced a
break in the capital chain. His company’s business was unable to continue. He had to sell his company
and all his property to come to S City. Then he bought a decent house in this area and used the
remaining money to continue looking for his wife.
It was a pity that after 20 years, Freddie still had not found any clues about his wife. Because of this
incident, he had become grumpy, which was quite different from the previous him.
This was the information about Freddie that Jeremiah collected. This information was not different from
what Logan told Casey at the time, but was more detailed.
At that time, Logan said that Guanling was like a paradise for the rich. There were various
entertainment methods to satisfy these rich people. There must be many people who were very
interested in those famous female stars. It was normal that they sent some people to catch a few
female stars.
Freddie searched for so many years. He should know something. At least what Logan knew about
Guanling was that he heard from Freddie.
As long as these were not made up by Freddie himself, he should have been to Guanling or had
contact with people in Guanling.
But Casey was more inclined to the second possibility. After all, Logan also said that none of the
people who entered Guanling came out alive. Freddie was still alive now, which clearly showed that he
had never been to Guanling.
In any case, Casey must see Freddie and communicate effectively with him. Only then did Casey know
whether Freddie knew where Guanling was.
Casey walked up to knock on the door. After a while, a low and hoarse voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"I have something to ask Freddie." Casey said.
"Get out of here. Don’t use your clumsy acting skills to fool me. I won't open the door. You are loan
sharks and are not protected by the law. I borrowed it by myself. Why do I have to pay it back?" The
person inside seemed to be fearless.
After Casey heard this, he was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect to be treated as a loan shark.
Why did this person sound cheeky?
"I think you have misunderstood. I’m not a loan shark. I heard about you from my friend. I want to ask
you about something." Casey said.
There was a hole in the door. Casey noticed that there was one eye looking outside from the hole, and
then the door was opened.
Inside stood a sloppy man with messy hair and beard. It seemed that the man hadn't shaved his beard
for months. He looked haggard, but his eyes shone with shrewd light.
"Are you Freddie?" Casey asked.
"It's me. What’s up?" Freddie took a look at Casey and said impatiently.
"Hear is the thing..." Casey was about to speak.
At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the alley nearby and rushed towards the door of
Freddie's house.
When Freddie saw this, he was so frightened that he wanted to close the door. At this moment, a man
who ran quickly held the door and shouted at the people behind, "Come here. I get the door. Damn it!
He can’t run away this time!"
The people behind soon followed and rushed into Freddie's house.
Freddie hurriedly turned around and ran towards the back, but those people immediately pressed him
to the ground. Several of them took out the rope and directly tied him up.
"Fuck off. Let me go. You broke in my house. I’ll call the police!" Freddie shouted hysterically.
"You fucking have a face to call the police? You owe us 300,000 dollars. It’s us who should call the
police, right?" A man slapped Freddie on the face.
"You are loan sharks. I'm just collecting evidence for the police to expose you. I tell you that I have
become an informant for the police. If you don't let me go, just wait to be a dead meat!" Freddie
exclaimed.
"Bluffing. Become a police informant? So funny. They will only think that you are crazy!"
Casey looked at the situation inside and guessed that these people should be loan sharks.
Casey couldn't help but feel funny. Freddie really dared to say anything in order not to repay the loan
shark.
At this moment, a bald guy with a scar on his face came here, holding a machete in his hand.
When the bald guy came to the door, he gave a glance at Casey. But he just walked directly inside
without say anything.
"Boss, this idiot still refuses to repay the money. Just chop off his arms directly. He is so crazy. I'm
afraid he won't repay our money in this life."
When the people inside saw the bald guy coming in, they immediately began to talk.
"Why are you asking me to pay back the money? I have already given the money to the hospital. They
charged me with the money. If you want the money, I will give you the receipt and you can go to the
hospital to ask them to repay you the money." Freddie shouted again.
Hearing what Freddie said, the bald guy sneered. He directly put the machete on Freddie's neck.
"Freddie, everyone thinks you are insane, but I know you know it clearly. You just don’t want to pay
back the money, do you? There is no need to make up so many excuses. You gave the money to the
hospital, because your daughter is sick, right? Come on, do you think it is difficult for me to find out
which hospital your daughter is in?" The bald guy said with a smile.
Freddie's face sank abruptly. He couldn't help but tremble. The expression on his face became more
serious.
"If you dare to do this, I'll really call the police. The worst situation is that I have to go to jail, but I’ll let
you go to the jail with me!" Freddie gritted his teeth and said.
The bald guy snorted and said, "What do you think I rely on for daring to do this business? Is it timid?"
"If I don't see the money today, not only will your daughter be in trouble, but your two arms will break!"
The bald guy frightened Freddie with a machete and waited for Freddie to speak.
At this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned his head to look over. Then he found
that it was the person standing outside.
"Let him go." Casey said lightly.
The bald guy turned around, pointed the machete at Casey, and said, "Who the hell are you? Mind your
own business."
"I can repay the money he owes you." Casey continued.
Freddie did not expect Casey to say such words, so he was a little surprised. But since there was
someone who was willing to pay back the money for him, he was of course happy. He hurriedly
shouted, "Have you heard it? This guy is willing to help me pay back the money. Let me go!"
The bald guy took a look at Casey. He felt Casey didn't look like a rich man, so he said, "Are you sure
you can pay back? He owes us 300,000 dollars."
"Just three hundred thousand. I'll give you a phone number. You can get the money after you give the
call."
Casey said, handing a note to the bald guy.
This note said that a phone number of one of Jeremiah’s men. His nickname was Dylan. He was
Jeremiah’s helper in dealing with some issues in the underground of S City. Jeremiah gave this phone
number to Casey. He said if Casey was in trouble, he could call this guy.
The bald guy took the note, had a look, and said, "What if I can’t get the money after giving the call?"
"I won't lie to you. You can leave now. I still have something to ask him." Casey said.
The bald guy felt that Casey was playing tricks on him, so he waved his machete in front of Casey and
cursed, "Holy shit! Do you think you can fool me with a phone number? Tell you, I must get money
today. Otherwise, neither of you can get out of here!"
Casey suddenly became a little impatient. Seeing that the bald guy all wanted to hit him, Casey just
took a move directly and threw all of them out of the door.
Those men were thrown out one by one. They were quickly piled up into a small hill.
The bald guy was at the bottom, almost out of breath.
"The phone number I gave you is real. You only need to say that Casey owes you money, and let him
pay it back." Casey said to the outside, and then closed the door.
A group of people got up from the ground, staring at the door of Freddie's house with angrily faces,
wishing to rush back again.
But this time everyone knew that Casey was good at fighting, so no one dared to step forward.
"Boss, what should we do? We can't just let it go, right?" a man asked.
The bald guy also gritted his teeth, and then said, "The man inside is too powerful. We are not his
match. I'm afraid I have to find Dylan to solve this problem. You go back first. I'll go to Dylan and talk
about this thing."
When those men heard the bald guy's words, they nodded and turned back.
The bald guy took a taxi and rushed to the city.
In a KTV, Dylan and the bald guy were sitting together. Dylan was singing, and the bald guy was sitting
on the side with a respectful face and didn't dare to interrupt.
After waiting for a long time, Dylan finished singing a song. The bald guy found the opportunity to tell
Dylan about his affairs.
"That person gave me a phone number and said that I could get money after calling it. I think he must
be fooling me, so I can only come to you for help." The bald guy said, and handed the note to Dylan.
Dylan stared at the note carelessly, and then his both eyes widened. ‘Isn't this my personal phone
number?’
"What else did the person who gave you this note say?" Dylan asked quickly.
"The man said that as long as we said it’s Casey who owed us money, we could get the money." The
bald guy said again. Belongs © to .
Dylan stared at the bald guy, and then said, "You don't need to make this phone call. You can't get the
money."
"Huh?" The bald guy immediately widened his eyes. He looked puzzled, and then he asked, "Why?"
Dylan glanced at him and said coldly, "Because this is my phone number. Do you want me to repay the
money?"
The bald guy was astonished, and did not respond for a long time.
