The three of them took a taxi to the sales office.
In the car, Gan Tang asked Tian Tian, "What were you doing just now?"
Making a phone call shouldn't take that long.
Tian Tian felt a little guilty: "I went to pay Zhang Yuan's medical expenses."
Gan Tang was furious, her head practically steaming. "You're still paying his medical bills?"
“I was thinking that if he didn’t pursue the matter, your boyfriend could get out sooner.”
Gan Tang gave her a gentle push, but didn't forget to emphasize, "What boyfriend? He's my husband."
Today's sales office is very different. Even though half of the houses are still unsold, the billboards outside are being taken down, and the sales office itself is deserted.
To be precise, they were their only customer.
The person in charge waited at the door and personally led them to the finance office.
Even after Tian Tian sat down across from the finance department to process her refund, she was still somewhat incredulous: "Why are you giving me a refund?"
The house was finally sold through deception.
The person in charge gestured for Gan Tang and Mo Huaixing to sit on the sofa and explained, "You're really lucky to have met such a kind person. Our company has been acquired by the Lu Group. Chairman Lu is a good man and has refunded all the houses that our boss had previously sold by deception."
At this point, he exclaimed with great admiration, "No wonder he's a renowned entrepreneur, he's just different. The houses didn't sell, and Chairman Lu still has to pay the bank interest for early repayment, which is at least one or two hundred million. And this property here, worth several billion. The location isn't good, so it can't be sold. I don't know why the Lu family wanted to acquire it."
Seeing the murderous look in Mo Huaixing's eyes, the person in charge choked for a moment and hurriedly said, "Don't blame me. I didn't want to work with that heartless boss to cheat people, but I also have to support my family."
Gan Tang grasped Mo Huaixing's hand and asked the person in charge, "Why is our household the only one that has processed a refund?"
"We'll officially start checking out tomorrow. However, the Lu Group specifically sent someone to inform Tian Tian to come and handle the check-out today." The person in charge seemed puzzled at this point, then suddenly realized something: "You know someone from the Lu Group?"
"I don't know him." Gan Tang felt a pang of sadness. It turned out that their lives had never escaped Lu Zhengqian's control.
The process was quick, and Tian Tian received her down payment of 50,000 yuan back.
As they left the sales office, Gan Tang glanced back; the entrance had been changed to bear the logo of the Lu Group. They walked along the cobblestone path inside the sales office toward the main road.
Tian Tian pulled Gan Tang aside and asked, "Tang Tang, does this have anything to do with you? Aren't you his daughter? How come you're not anymore all of a sudden?"
"No. Before, Lu Zhengqian's daughter was sick, so he asked me to pretend to be his daughter. Now that his daughter is better, I can naturally come back." Gan Tang made up a lie on the spot. Noticing the bank card in her hand, she asked, "You still need 20,000."
“I’m already very content.” Tian Tian became more and more frightened as she thought about it. “If I had to carry that house for the rest of my life, I don’t know how I would live.”
A black minivan appeared ahead. Ali got out, grabbed Zhang Yuan from the back seat, and threw him to the ground. Zhang Yuan crawled tremblingly toward Tian Tian, slapping himself hard: "Tian Tian, I'm a bastard, I'm not human, I'm sorry."
Tian Tian had never seen anything like this before, and she hid behind Gan Tang in fright.
The person kneeling on the ground was covered in injuries. Although Mo Huaixing had hit him, it was clearly not this serious. It's unclear how ruthless Ali had been, given how terrified he was.
Zhang Yuan had been hitting himself for a long time, and Ali, getting impatient, kicked him in the butt, saying, "Speak."
"Yes!" Zhang Yuan kowtowed three times and presented a bank card with both hands. "This is your 20,000 yuan and the 100,000 yuan commission."
Tian Tian subconsciously looked at Gan Tang, but Gan Tang didn't say anything and looked at Mo Huaixing beside her.
At this moment, Ali was also looking at Mo Huaixing. Mo Huaixing had a bruise on his face, and Ali pointed at it, laughing, "How come you're so down on your luck after only a few days away?"
Mo Huaixing didn't say anything and walked forward alone.
Gan Tang said to Tian Tian, "You decide what to do."
Tian Tian glanced timidly at Ali and asked, "Can I make my own request?"
Ali nodded earnestly, "Of course."
Tian Tian spat at Zhang Yuan with full confidence, "Who wants your stinking money? Give me back my 20,000 yuan and the medical expenses I paid for you. Also, give me a detailed breakdown of all the money I spent on you. If you miss a single item, I'll chop off one of your fingers."
Ali kicked him, "Didn't you hear me? Hurry up and settle it."
Zhang Yuan took out his phone, opened the notepad app, and wrote down each point carefully.
"That's a total of 32,752 yuan." He said, and hurriedly transferred the money to Tian Tian.
"Let me see!" Tian Tian grabbed his phone, pointed at the screen and said fiercely, "I even bought you a phone case, why didn't you write that on it?"
A scream rang out, and a little finger fell to the ground. Zhang Yuan clutched his hand, groaning in agony.
"What are you doing!" Gan Tang hurriedly covered Tian Tian's eyes.
"Wasn't it Miss Tian who made the request?" Ali asked, feeling wronged, but he still continued, "Miss Tian, is there anything else that was missed?"
Tian Tian quickly shook her head. Actually, he had already calculated quite a lot, including the cost of their meal. She just wanted to scare him a little more, but she didn't expect Ali to actually chop off his hand.
Gan Tang thanked Ali and pulled Tian Tian to chase after Mo Huaixing.
Tian Tian was still shaken. "Tangtang, do you think Zhang Yuan will retaliate against me?"
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare!" Gan Tang turned her head back and saw Ali put the bank card into his pocket.
Walking onto a white stone arch bridge, Gan Tang saw a black Bentley parked by the roadside with its windows wide open, revealing Lu Zhengqian's profile.
Mo Huaixing stood motionless on the steps by the roadside.
"Tian Tian, hurry up and take a taxi!" Gan Tang instructed, then ran towards Mo Huaixing.
One sat inside the car, the other stood outside. A long, long time passed, but finally one of them spoke first. Lu Zhengqian got out of the car and gently patted Mo Huaixing's shoulder, "Look how dirty you are. How did you get like this?"
Mo Huaixing took a step back and asked distantly, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Zhengqian laughed: "Is this the world you so desperately want to return to? It's filthy and hypocritical, filled with people who are either incompetent and pass the buck, or who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."
Mo Huaixing replied calmly, "So, you've reached the pinnacle."
"Shouldn't it be?" Lu Zhengqian sighed. "This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. There is no justice or ideals as you think. That's just nonsense."
Mo Huaixing shook his head. "That's because you think what you see is the whole world. But in reality, you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg."
"Son, how many more falls will you have to make before you accept reality?" At this moment, Lu Zhengqian's eyes were full of helplessness. He pointed to the building behind Mo Huaixing and asked, "What can you do about this? Investigate, write reports, wait for notes? By the time you've exhausted all your efforts to wait, the houses will have already been sold out, and the people will have run away with the money."
