The thugs threatened Cai Jing to pay his debt. Cai Jing was shocked. He thought his old family was already handling the debt. Cai Jing shook his head. He refused to accept this. He argued with the thugs that his family already paid the debt.
The thugs shouted that debt had still not been settled. So, he needed to continue to pay up. If Cai Jing did not want to pay up, they would destroy this restaurant. They would come every day to get the money from Cai Jing.
The thugs shouted and kicked one of the tables. This scared the customers. Most of the customers stood up and wanted to leave. They just wanted to eat here, not to get involved with this kind of trouble. They were afraid that they might get hurt from this trouble. Better to leave.
