A few thugs heard this, and only then understood Zhong Yuanliang meant for them to take away the young man lying on the ground.
They quickly said, "We'll take him away right now!"
Number Three stepped forward and said to them, "Hand over the IOU!"
Hearing this, the young men looked at Number Three with troubled expressions. One of them pleaded, "Big brother, we didn't collect the debt, and we lost the IOU. Even if you let us go, we'll face a brutal beating when we return."
"I told you to hand it over, so hand it over. Why so much nonsense?" Zhong Yuanliang coldly glared at them and shouted.
The young men shivered and hurriedly said, "Big brother, we're just trying to make a living. We haven't done anything bad; we just do whatever we're told."
The youth was on the verge of tears. If their superiors found out they didn't get the money back and lost the IOU, their fate would be much worse than just a beating.
