Chapter 280 Debt Collection

Lin Yiming lives in Dongcheng, the most famous slum in Hong Kong. When he got off the bus, he could see shantytowns everywhere.

The houses were dilapidated and shaky, as if they would collapse at any time.

The streets were narrow and crowded, with potholes on the road.

"My home is in front." Lin Yiming pointed to a dilapidated house in front with some embarrassment.

"Okay." Ling Yao nodded. I didn't expect that Lin Yiming lived in such a place before he became a star.

They walked along the narrow path, with garbage and debris piled up along the way.

The air was filled with bursts of stench, making people feel suffocated.

Several gangsters were sitting under a tree playing cards, with cigarettes in their mouths, puffing out clouds of smoke.

"Damn it! When I went to collect the protection fee yesterday, that Lese was ignorant, so I gave him a beating."

"Recently, those people have been taking us less and less seriously, and really think that we who collect the insurance fees are vegetarians."

"That's normal. Recently, Brother Black Snake in West City is fighting for territory with Brother Black Panther. I don't know who will get the night market in the end."

"Look!"

Seeing Lin Yiming and Ling Yao coming over, several people stared at Ling Yao with their eyes wide open. When have they ever seen such a beautiful woman here? She is even more beautiful than a big star.

Lin Yiming walked to the other side of Ling Yao and blocked the sight of several people. These guys are well-known hooligans in their area. They usually fight, smoke and drink, and follow social people to collect protection fees at the night market.

When they arrived at Lin Yiming's house, the house looked very simple, with peeling walls and windows that must have been smashed by something. The ground was full of broken glass shards.

The door was half-open, and it was covered with red paint. There were bright red characters written on the walls on both sides, which looked a bit intrusive.

Lin Yiming pushed open the door and walked into the house with Ling Yao. The room was small and dim, with only a table and a few chairs, and some miscellaneous items piled on the ground.

"Yiming, how was the interview? Did you pass? Ahem... " Lin Yiming's mother came out after hearing the noise. Her face was pale and her eyes were dull. She looked sick.

Lin Yiming didn't know what to say. Now that his eldest brother has run away, all the family's hopes are on him.

"Who is this?" Lin's mother noticed Ling Yao next to Lin Yiming, and her eyes lit up. Does her son finally have a girlfriend?

She didn't dare to say anything else, but her son was definitely the most handsome in the area, and her son had a good singing voice since he was a child. In the future, her son will definitely become a big star.

"She is my friend Ling Yao." Lin Yiming introduced. Just on the way, Ling Yao had told him that she had already talked with He Qinghua, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, and the two were going to cooperate to open an entertainment company and a training class, open to all ordinary people who are interested in acting and singing.

As long as you want to be an artist, you can submit your information to sign up for a six-month training.

"Hurry up and sit down!" Mother Lin greeted Ling Yao with a smile, "Yiming, you accompany Miss Ling, I'll go get Miss Ling a glass of water."

"Okay." Lin Yiming nodded.

"Aunt! Don't be busy. I came here this time because I heard from Lin Yiming that you and your uncle are not in good health. I happen to be a doctor, so I came to help you."

"It's just an old problem. It will be fine after a while. You sit for a while, cough cough cough..." Mother Lin said and went to the kitchen.

"Ling Yao, please sit down." Lin Yiming called Ling Yao.

"Okay." Ling Yao nodded and sat down.

At this time, there was a sound of kicking the door outside.

"Lin Yiming, get out here and pay me back, or I will demolish your house today."

Lin Yiming's face changed, knowing that the debt collectors were here, "I'll go out and take a look." He had promised before that he would pay them back today. Because once the contract for the substitute role was signed, he would receive a sum of money first.

"I'll go out with you." Ling Yao stood up. She came here this time to help Lin Yiming solve his problems.

"No! Those people are gangsters, they can do anything, it will be dangerous for you to go out." Ling Yao is so beautiful, what if those people have bad intentions towards her?

"It's okay, trust me." Ling Yao smiled and walked towards the door.

"Ling Yao." Lin Yiming chased after Ling Yao anxiously.

Ling Yao stretched out her hand to open the door. The hooligans who were kicking the door outside were stunned when they saw Ling Yao, with surprise in their eyes.

Lin Yiming walked quickly to Ling Yao's side, took a step forward, blocking the sight of those gangsters, and said to the leader Brother Biao in a flattering manner: "Brother Biao, I'm already trying my best to raise money, really, I will pay you back in a few days."

Brother Biao sneered: "In a few days? How many days have you told me? Today is the deadline, pay me back."

While speaking, his eyes turned in the direction of Ling Yao, revealing a lewd smile, "But if you lend her to me "If you want to play for a few days, I can give you three days."

Lin Yiming's face changed, and he said nervously: "Brother Biao, she is just my friend. This matter has nothing to do with her. Please don't make things difficult for her."

Brother Biao spitted with disdain and sneered: "Damn it, if you don't accept my toast, don't blame me for being rude. Brothers, give him a little color and let him know what the rules are!"

Hearing this, several gangsters behind Brother Biao immediately walked towards Lin Yiming with their fists rubbed.

Their eyes were full of ridicule and cruelty, as if they couldn't wait to see Lin Yiming being beaten to his knees and begging for mercy.

Lin Yiming took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared to face the next storm. He knew that he could not compete with these people at all.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled Lin Yiming aside.

Then a cold voice sounded: "How much does he owe you?"

Ling Yao took a step forward and her eyes fell on Brother Biao.

Seeing this, Brother Biao raised his eyebrows playfully, smiled, and said with a hint of ridicule, "Why? You want to pay him back?"

Ling Yao frowned impatiently, "Don't be so long-winded! How much is it?"

Hearing this, Brother Biao stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Ling Yao, "Not much, just one million."

Lin Yiming's face changed drastically, and he stared at Brother Biao with wide eyes, "You are talking nonsense! It's only 200,000 yuan, when did it become 1 million yuan?" Even if he had to pay off 1 million yuan in his lifetime.

Brother Biao laughed wickedly and said in a sinister way, "200,000 yuan is just the principal, and the remaining 800,000 yuan is interest. If you don't give me the money today, it will rise to 2 million yuan tomorrow."
