Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

The company before them was Dingsheng Engineering Company. If Zhao Dong remembered correctly, it was one of the businesses under the Zhang Family—one of the four major families.

The Zhang Family is under my control now, and even its patriarch, Zhang Longbo, has submitted to me. Collecting this debt should be a simple matter. I just didn't expect that the money Wang Jianguo's family is owed would be from the Zhangs. No wonder they said it was impossible to collect, no matter who they sent. The money of the four major families is indeed hard to claim. Zhang Longbo wouldn't stoop so low over such a small sum. The people under him must all be trying to skim a little off the top.

Zhao Dong glanced at Wang Jianguo. "Uncle Wang, is this the place?"

"Yes, it's this company," Wang Jianguo replied. "They owe our Wang Family over four million in project fees and have never paid up."

Zhao Dong said, "Uncle Wang, I'll get this money for you, but you have to keep your promise to me."

Wang Jianguo glanced at Wang Han, whose expression flickered. Gritting her teeth, she said coldly, "We'll talk after you get the money. Until then, it's all empty talk. And don't be so confident. You might get your legs broken today."

Nearby, Li Mujing added mockingly, "With his personality, it'll be a miracle if they don't cripple him. Let's see how he gets the money back. He sure can brag without blushing."

Zhao Dong acted as if he hadn't heard and said to Wang Jianguo, "I'm going in. Who's coming with me?"

After a moment of thought, Wang Jianguo said, "Xiaohan, you go with Xiao Dong."

Startled, Wang Han immediately refused, "No way! Following him in is just asking for trouble. I might even get crippled today. I'm not going!"

Wang Jianguo frowned. "I said go, so you'll go. Xiao Dong won't let anything happen to you. Even if you don't get the money, you'll be safe. Go on."

"Dad, I... I'm scared," Wang Han said bitterly.

"No, you have to go," Wang Jianguo insisted, his face full of displeasure. "How can we let Xiao Dong go in alone? Your mother and I will wait out here. Just go in with him."

Zhao Dong shot a mocking smile at Wang Han. Annoyed by his expression, she snapped in a fit of pique, "What are you laughing at? Fine, I'll go! Who said I was scared?"

With that, Wang Han stomped angrily toward the company on her high heels. As Zhao Dong followed, Wang Jianguo called out from behind, "Xiao Dong, no matter what, you have to take care of Xiaohan. You two grew up together, after all..."

Zhao Dong paused for a fraction of a second but didn't reply, walking into the company with Wang Han.

When they reached the reception desk, Wang Han instinctively took a step back, letting Zhao Dong take the lead. She shot him a sideways glance. "Go on. I'd like to see your big performance today."

Zhao Dong met her gaze before walking straight to the receptionist. "Hello, I need to see your boss."

The receptionist was taken aback but quickly smiled. "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Zhao Dong shook his head. "No appointment. I'm here to collect a debt."

Instantly, the receptionist's expression changed. The smile vanished from her face as she said coolly, "The boss isn't in. Come back another day."

A playful smile touched Zhao Dong's lips. "I'll say it again. Tell me where your boss is. Now."

The receptionist's face hardened. She glared at Zhao Dong and Wang Han, then cursed, "Get lost! We don't have any money!"

Wang Han's face flushed, then paled. The words infuriated her, but the receptionist represented the company, and she didn't dare speak up.

Zhao Dong, however, reacted instantly. His hand shot out and seized the receptionist by the throat. His eyes turned grim as he said, "Don't push it. My patience is limited."

His gaze was like a thousand icy swords, piercing the receptionist and making her tremble uncontrollably. "Let... let me go," she stammered. "I'll tell you... I'll tell you..."

Zhao Dong released her. She collapsed to the floor, coughing in pain, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at him. "The boss... the boss is in his office on the top floor. I'll call him now."

Zhao Dong shook his head and slammed his fist down on the phone, shattering it. "No need for a call. I'll go find him myself."

Without another word, he stepped into an elevator and glanced at the bewildered Wang Han. "Get in."

Wang Han was stunned, her face filled with terror. "Zhao Dong, are you insane? Do you have any idea what the consequences will be?"

"I told you to get in. Why so much nonsense?" Zhao Dong frowned. "If you're a coward, then stay here."

Furious, Wang Han's face turned ashen. She shot Zhao Dong a death glare and followed him into the elevator.

The moment he pressed the button for the top floor and the doors closed, Wang Han's face turned gray, and her entire body began to tremble with fear.

Zhao Dong glanced at her. "Scared?"

"I... I'm not scared!" Wang Han trembled as she spoke. "Zhao Dong, you're too impulsive! Do you know who the boss here is? Do you realize how powerful his connections are? You're a madman!"

Zhao Dong shrugged. "I don't care who he is. I'm getting that money back today."

Remembering something, Wang Han's expression turned grim. "You'll be lucky to escape without being crippled today. And you still expect to get the money? I really don't know what my father was thinking, sending you to do this!"

Zhao Dong remained silent. Soon, the elevator arrived. He stepped out, and after a moment's hesitation, Wang Han followed, her voice trembling. "Zhao Dong, maybe we should just go back?"

"Why? You don't want the money anymore?"

"After the scene you just caused downstairs," she said bitterly, "do you really think they'll give you the money?"

I'm really scared now, and I'm terrified Zhao Dong is going to get himself killed. This isn't collecting a debt; this is picking a fight. And picking a fight here is a death wish! I seriously suspect he did this on purpose, just to sabotage the whole thing!

The more she thought, the angrier she became. Gritting her teeth, she said coldly, "Zhao Dong, are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to make a complete mess of things?"

Zhao Dong frowned. "Are you crazy? Why don't you just come with me and see if we get the money or not?"

Just then, the doors to another elevator opened, and a swarm of men in black suits rushed out, each armed with a steel pipe or an iron bar.

The leader roared at Zhao Dong, "Motherfucker! So you're the ones causing trouble! Brothers, get them!"

Pale with fright, Wang Han froze, unable to move an inch.

The mob charged forward. Zhao Dong stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression unchanging as a steel pipe swung down at his head. Just as it was about to connect, he said calmly, "Tell your boss my name is Zhao Dong."

The steel pipe stopped dead, just three centimeters from his head. The man holding it swallowed hard and stared at Zhao Dong, his voice trembling. "You... what did you say your name was?"

Zhao Dong raised a hand and slapped the man across the face, sending him flying seven or eight meters. "I said my name is Zhao Dong!" he shouted coldly. "Are you deaf? Get your boss out here!"

Wang Han was dumbfounded. Her legs gave out, and she crumpled to the floor. Looking at him with deep frustration, she cried, "Zhao Dong, I never should have come with you today! I never should have believed you could get the money!"

At that exact moment, the door to the general manager's office opened. A figure emerged, and Wang Han's face went ashen. This is it. I'm finished.

The next second, a voice, filled with shock, fear, and disbelief, cried out, "Mr... Mr. Zhao, what brings you here?!"

Stunned, Wang Han lifted her head and witnessed an unbelievable sight. The general manager was jogging toward them in a panic. He bowed a full ninety degrees to Zhao Dong, his face a mask of bitter fear. "Mr. Zhao... I deserve to die! I had no idea it was you visiting today! I was wrong, I was so wrong!"

Wang Han's mouth fell open. She stared blankly at Zhao Dong, her mind completely boggled. Am I dreaming?
