The two squeezed into Jian Ruoxi's ward, and at the same time they saw Lu Shen and the movie star.
She instantly became reserved and obedient, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My daughter is so disappointing."
Last time, Lu Shen had his bodyguards beat up Jian Feng, and the scars on his face hadn't healed yet. Now he's come to Jian Ruoxi's hospital room demanding money again.
Lu Shen looked at Jian Feng incredulously: "Why are you asking Jian Ruoxi for money again?"
Jian Feng said tremblingly, "I have no money. If I can't pay back the loan sharks, they'll break my legs."
"Uncle, how come you still owe high-interest loans?" Su Ziyu didn't know Jian Feng's character and thought he had encountered some trouble, so he asked with concern.
Jian Feng asked with a cheeky grin, "Who is this handsome guy?"
"Uncle, I am Jian Ruoxi's friend."
"Don't even mention it, young man. I was doing business before, and I wanted to get them a bigger and better house, but I got scammed out of several million by an investor. Now I've lost both the house and the money." Jian Feng said, pounding his thigh in anguish.
After understanding the situation, Su Ziyu immediately said, "I can help you pay this money back, Uncle."
Hearing this assurance, Jian Feng was overjoyed: "Young man, thank you. You're handsome and kind-hearted. You must be my Xixi's boyfriend."
Su Ziyu did not refute.
Jian Feng's eyes gleamed with the promise of money. He grasped Xi Xi's hand and showered her with praise: "Xi Xi, you're really something, finding such a rich boyfriend."
Hearing Jian Feng say that, Lu Shen left in a huff.
He originally came to the hospital to help Jian Ruoxi, but seeing the relationship between Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu, he felt there was no need to say anything more.
Jian Ruoxi looked at her money-grubbing father and felt ashamed: "Can you take the money and get out of here?"
I don't want to see you.
Jian Ruoxi knew that if she refused Su Ziyu's offer to help Jian Feng repay his debts, he would definitely keep coming back to ask her for money. She was simply too tired lately and needed to rest.
However, to her surprise, just a few days later, the media broke an explosive piece of news: Su Ziyu had gone missing.
Without a second thought, Jian Ruoxi assumed that this was Lu Shen's doing.
So he arranged to meet Lu Shen.
The moment the two met, Jian Ruoxi angrily yelled at him, "Are you crazy? Why did you kidnap Su Ziyu?"
Lu Shen was confused: "Kidnapping Su Ziyu? I think you've lost your mind."
In fact, if Jian Ruoxi had calmed down and thought about it carefully, she would have known that Lu Shen had no reason to kidnap Su Ziyu.
At most, they would try to smooth things over with people in the industry to get Su Ziyu to film fewer movies and stay out of the spotlight. There was no need to go to the point of kidnapping him.
Moreover, Su Ziyu is a movie star; if he were kidnapped, the entire entertainment industry would know.
When the investigation comes, this mess will be pinned on them, and the Lu family will also be affected.
However, while resting in her hospital bed, she was too anxious to think much and only focused on arguing with Lu Shen: "When I was in mortal danger, when I was being harassed by others on set, he came to help me."
“These are all things that happen naturally. We have a very good relationship. Why do you have to be so cruel?”
Lu Shen found Jian Ruoxi utterly unreasonable. "Please, can you think about this properly? What would I gain from kidnapping him?"
The two argued more and more fiercely, and eventually parted on bad terms.
Actually, Su Ziyu simply knew that Jian Feng was having trouble with loan sharks, so he went to negotiate with them.
Moreover, he contacted the loan sharks through Jian Feng.
Jian Feng was timid as a mouse; he simply handed over the person in charge's contact information to Su Ziyu and then washed his hands of the matter.
Su Ziyu initially discussed the interest rate with the person in charge via WeChat.
Even the loan sharks charge exorbitant interest rates, and Jian Feng's family's house is mortgaged to them, yet they refuse to relinquish it.
However, this loan shark noticed that Su Ziyu's words were not only logical but also remarkably polite.
So they make an excuse, saying, "There are some things here that need to be discussed offline, you know what I mean."
Su Ziyu initially thought that these loan sharks were doing shady things that couldn't be discussed in detail on WeChat, lest they leave evidence against him, so he agreed to meet with them.
To their surprise, after meeting him, they saw that Su Ziyu was dressed in high-end luxury goods and assumed he was rich.
They chatted for a while, then he deliberately tried to get information out of Su Ziyu: "Why did you help Jian Feng pay off his debts?"
“He’s my relative. My grandma couldn’t bear to see him being harassed by loan sharks, so she pleaded with me for him,” Su Ziyu lied.
However, his little tricks couldn't fool these shrewd people.
One of them secretly took a picture of Su Ziyu's face and sent it to someone who works in the internet industry, asking him to search for it on an information website.
The search revealed that Su Ziyu is a movie star.
This delighted the boss. Originally, they just wanted to extort money from this rich man and get him to pay more.
Unexpectedly, it was a movie star. In that case, they can ask for an exorbitant amount.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jian Ruoxi, heavily pregnant, was asking around for news about Su Ziyu.
First, they went to Su Ziyu's management company and asked his agent, "Who has Su Ziyu been in contact with lately? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
His agent was also panicked: "Brother Su told me he had some personal matters to attend to and wouldn't let me go with him."
“I thought there were no problems when he didn’t let me be with him before, but this time it’s a big problem.”
Jian Ruoxi wiped the sweat from his brow and suddenly remembered that he had promised Jian Feng yesterday that he would pay back the high-interest loan.
