After being dismissed by Lin Xiaomeng, Lin Wei took Wang Ying and slipped away to a buffet restaurant.

In the blink of an eye, he made a phone call to Zhang Min.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm Weiwei."

The voice on the other end of the phone was cheerful, "I know, Weiwei, what's up?"

"I was shopping with Wang Ying today when I bumped into my aunt and the mall manager, I think they were doing some kind of store inspection. I noticed something was off about their eyes. Were they...?"

Zhang Min actually knew about this. She had wanted to tell Lin Wei for a long time, but Lin Xiaomeng wouldn't let her.

“That man’s name is Sun Bin, right? That must be him. He’s interested in your aunt and even asked me to be his matchmaker, but your aunt… didn’t agree at the time. I didn’t think much of it at first, just assumed she didn’t like him. But Sun Bin was persistent, so I asked him again. It turns out your aunt still has feelings for your uncle.”

“I don’t think it’s a big deal that she doesn’t want to find me. We’re quite busy with work right now, and the times are just right. People with money and houses don’t need men. But your uncle has been gone for so many years. If she’s still thinking about your uncle and doesn’t want to find someone, what kind of life would she have to endure?”

"I wanted to talk to you about this, but your aunt guessed what I was going to do and wouldn't let me say anything."

Lin Wei is even busier than them with her business. It's already a blessing if she can go home and get some sleep every day. How could she possibly have time to run into them and have a casual chat?

In short, this matter has been delayed until now.

"How long has this been going on?"

"It started last year, but this guy just won't give up."

Lin Wei then asked, "Have you inquired about this man's background?"

“I’ve asked around. His wife is dead, he has no children, and he has two elderly parents to support. He also has a younger sister, but she’s married and they’re both factory workers, so they don’t need any support. Weiwei, I think if he’s a good person, your aunt could find him someone.”

“Aunt Zhang, I think so too, but my aunt is unwilling, and I can’t force her to date him. How about this, I’ll go and investigate this man’s background first.”

The task of investigating the person was naturally left to Zeng.

Within two hours, all of Sun Bin's information was delivered to Lin Wei.

This information is undeniably detailed.

"My God, who is this person?"

He was involved in everything from gambling to other vices.

He lives harmoniously with his parents simply because he lost his own house; if he didn't live with his parents, he would have nowhere to live at all.

The younger sister simply didn't want to get involved with such people, so there was no question of her helping them.

As of now, he still owes more than 100,000 yuan in debt.

A hundred thousand or so may not sound like much, but it's only 1999 now, and state-owned enterprises pay several hundred yuan a month, while private enterprises pay a little over a thousand.

More than 100,000 yuan almost cost the family their lives.

Wang Ying immediately exploded, "This person is probably after your aunt's money, we can't let him get away with it."

"But this person has probably been planning this for a long time. Now that they've cut off someone's source of income, what if they anger them and they do something irreversible?" Wang Ying didn't understand this kind of person, but who couldn't understand that kind of mentality?

Xiao Zeng, however, didn't seem to care. "Miss Lin, don't worry. Leave this to us. We'll make sure that kind of person never appears in front of your aunt again."

Lin Wei considered it for a while, and although she didn't know what methods the other party would use, she still agreed.

"Okay, just don't let it escalate to the point of causing death, otherwise it will damage the company's image."

Xiao Zeng feigned ignorance, "Ms. Lin, what are you talking about? We are a legitimate company with legitimate employees."

Lin Wei was utterly speechless. "Whatever you say, then so be it."

-

night.

In the living room, Lin Xiaomeng was waiting for Lin Wei to come home so she could talk to her about Sun Bin.

"Weiwei, I know what you mean, and I understand that you are all thinking of me, but I... I really didn't mean it that way."

"Never mind if you don't have it. Sun Bin doesn't seem to be a good person either."

While Lin Xiaomeng was still in a daze, she handed the investigation materials to Lin Xiaomeng.

"It's a good thing you didn't agree. Sun Bin seemed alright, but what a terrible person he is."

Lin Xiaomeng frowned. "Is this the same person? They seem different from the person I remember."

“Xiao Zeng has never made a mistake in his work. Besides, there’s only one person named Sun Bin in that mall. The information I provided is so detailed, there shouldn’t be any error. Auntie, it’s a good thing you didn’t agree, otherwise you would have jumped into a fire pit.”

The thought of the man's bad habits made Lin Xiaomeng feel a chill of fear.

"Even ghosts wouldn't want to associate with this kind of person."

For a moment, she felt quite fortunate about it.

"Aunt, don't worry, I've already asked Xiao Zeng to take care of it. He shouldn't bother you anymore. Just be careful during this time."

Zeng handled the matter very well, and the next day Lin Xiaomeng informed Lin Wei that Sun Bin was no longer bothering her.

Even when I see her in a shopping mall, I'll take a detour.

The money owed is real; you can get away with it for a day or two, but you can't get away with the debt collectors.

Knowing that his scheme had been exposed, Sun Bin blocked Lin Xiaomeng's path one evening after get off work, kneeling on the ground and begging for her mercy.

"Xiaomeng, I know you're worried that I'm only pursuing you for your money, but that's not true. I'm really interested in you, that's why I'm pursuing you."

"But I have no other choice now. Those debt collectors want to kill me. They want to kill me. I don't want to die. Xiaomeng, please help me. As long as you can get out of this predicament, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say from now on."

"I have no money."

Lin Xiaomeng kept backing away, trying to create distance between herself and Sun Bin.

But Lin Xiaomeng is like duckweed on the water, Sun Bin's only antidote, how could he possibly let her go?

"Xiaomeng, don't lie to me. You and Zhang Min own several chain stores, and your niece is the big boss of Boyuan Construction. How could you not have money? I don't need much, just 100,000, 100,000 will do."

"You really dare to ask for that? 100,000? Do you know how much that is? I told you I don't have it."

After Lin Xiaomeng finished speaking, she turned and ran away. Sun Bin stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xiaomeng's hair, and pulled her to the ground.

"Xiaomeng, please help me. Only you can help me."

"No, help!"

"No one can save you. Come with me."

Sun Bing covered Lin Xiaomeng's mouth, grabbed her hair, and dragged her into the alley.

Lin Xiaomeng's eyes were filled with fear. At the critical moment, Zeng, who had been lurking beside Lin Xiaomeng and had not seen her come out for a long time, immediately realized that something was wrong. When he led his men into the alley, Lin Xiaomeng's figure was almost swallowed up by the darkness.

"stop."

Zeng yelled and led his men into the alley.

Neither Sun Bin nor Lin Xiaomeng had ever seen them before.

At that moment, Lin Xiaomeng knew that she had been saved.

But Sun Bin, as if seeing his own nightmare, let go of Lin Xiaomeng's hair and ran away.
