Chapter 76: Rich Entertainment City
Wu Yi hesitated for a moment before finally answering the call. He looked up at Tang Shuo and walked aside.
Although Tang Shuo was puzzled as to what had caused Wu Yi to be so frightened, he was not very curious. Seeing that Wu Yi was deliberately avoiding him, he naturally watched and eavesdropped.
After muttering "rude" to himself, Tang Shuo turned and walked towards the ward.
Wu Yi picked up the phone and said, "What's the matter? Haven't I already transferred this month's living expenses to you?"
The person who called was Wu Yi's father, Wu Gang. Wu Yi's mother had passed away several years ago, and his father Wu Gang had fallen into depravity since then, from initial alcoholism to drug abuse.
Wu Yi had tried to persuade Wu Gang countless times, but he still couldn't convince him. Reluctantly, he sent his father to a drug rehabilitation center, but after he came out, Wu Gang not only didn't calm down, but became even worse than before.
As a result, the relationship between father and daughter continued to deteriorate.
"Daughter, please help daddy one last time." A man's crying voice came from the other end of the phone.
If you don’t know the reason, most people will be moved by his tearful words.
"What did you do again?" Wu Yi asked with a frown.
"Dad borrowed 100,000... No, it was 1 million." Wu Gang pleaded, "If you don't pay it back by noon today, they will chop off one of Dad's hands."
"One million!" Wu Yi unconsciously raised his voice. "Why are you borrowing so much money? I don't have that much money."
Wu Gang had come to her for help because of debt collection before, but the amounts before were mostly around tens of thousands of yuan. Wu Yi knew there was something wrong with the one million yuan.
"Daughter, Daddy promises this is the last time." Wu Gang immediately promised: "As long as you help me pay back this money, I will absolutely obey you and never touch these things again."
Wu Yi had heard these words countless times and had already given up hope. Moreover, he simply couldn't afford such a large sum of money right now. Wu Yi sighed and said helplessly, "I really don't have that much money."
Then, a burst of scolding came from the other end of the line, followed by a deep voice. "You are Wu Gang's daughter, right? Are you the agent for celebrity Lu?"
When Wu Yi heard the other party mention the agent, he felt nervous. If this matter were to be exposed, it would be a big leak.
Putting aside her work problems, this incident will definitely have a certain negative impact on Lu Wanqi.
Wu Yi calmed down for a moment before asking in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about who I am," the other person replied. "Your father owes me one million. If he doesn't pay me by noon, you'll be ready to collect his body."
"Loan sharking is illegal," Wu Yi threatened.
"Of course I know it's illegal, but I advise you not to take the risk." The other party laughed twice and said playfully: "Let me remind you, you still have two hours to prepare. If I don't see the money by then, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Wu Yi asked unwillingly, "Where are you?"
"Sanchuan Mansion, Rich Entertainment City."
Wu Yi hung up the phone directly, calmed himself down, and walked into the ward.
People must be rescued, but of course they won’t be given that much money.
Her current savings are about 150,000 or 160,000 yuan, so she can only negotiate with the other party to release the person first.
Wu Yi only hoped that after this incident, his father would learn from his mistakes and repent.
After entering the ward, Wu Yi said to Lu Wanqi lying on the bed, "Wanqi, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. You should take good care of yourself for the time being, and don't worry about your work."
Lu Wanqi nodded. Seeing Wu Yi's panic, she asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Yi forced a smile and said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Wu Yi turned around and took a step, then suddenly turned back to Tang Shuo and said, "Do you have a car? Can you give me a ride?"
The area around Sanchuan Mansion was mostly filled with low-end entertainment venues, and this Fuhao Entertainment City must be a mixed bag. Since she was a public figure now, she naturally couldn't be spotted going to a place like that.
Most of the paparazzi knew about her car, and if she was photographed by them, it would have a very bad impact.
Tang Shuo was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lu Wanqi nod at him, he stood up and said, "Let's go."
The two of them didn't talk much along the way. Tang Shuo saw that Wu Yi looked worried and didn't want to disturb him.
When they arrived at the parking lot downstairs of the hospital, Wu Yi saw Tang Shuo getting into a McLaren. A strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
After getting in the car, Wu Yi said, "Let's stop at the bank ahead first."
Tang Shuo naturally had no objection and parked the car in front of a bank near the hospital.
After a while, Wu Yi came out carrying a black cloth bag. After getting in the car, he said to Tang Shuo, "Let's go to the Fuhao Entertainment City in Sanchuan Prefecture."
Tang Shuo frowned and started the car as he was told.
Although he was not familiar with the Rich Entertainment City, he thought it was not a good place with such a vulgar name.
The two of them were thinking about their own things, and the car soon arrived at the Rich Entertainment City.
Wu Yi hesitated for a moment while sitting in the car, then thanked Tang Shuo and got out of the car with the cloth bag.
…………
The peak consumption time in places like entertainment cities is usually midnight. Few people would come here to get drunk during the day, so the entrance of the entertainment city is very deserted at this time.
As Wu Yi walked in, a young man leaning against the bar turned and asked, "Are you looking for Wu Gang?"
Seeing Wu Yi nod, the young man stood up and said, "Follow me."
As he led the way, he cursed and muttered: I didn't expect that the old guy really didn't lie this time. This Wu Yi is so beautiful.
Although Wu Yi was a little scared, he thought that it was daytime and these people would not dare to do anything rash, so he followed them.
Walking to the door of a room in the corner of the first floor, the young man said to the two big men guarding the door, "I'm looking for Wu Gang."
The two big men opened the door, and the young man turned and urged, "Hurry up."
The room was filled with smoke, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Four burly men with flabby faces sat on the sofa. As soon as Wu Yi entered, they stared at her intently. One man, clearly the leader, had his feet propped up on the desk in front of him, puffing on a cigarette.
Her father Wu Gang had his hands tied and was curled up in the corner of the room with blood all over his face.
Wu Gang, who was in the corner, saw Wu Yi coming over and immediately knelt down and walked towards Wu Yi, saying, "Daughter, please save me quickly."
"Be honest."
Wu Gang had just taken a step forward when a big man on the sofa next to him stood up and kicked Wu Gang in the face. Wu Gang fell backwards instantly.
Wu Yi frowned and said coldly, "If you fight again, you won't get a penny of the money."
The man at the desk put his feet down, sat up straight and said, "Stop fighting for now." As he spoke, he did not hide his aggressive gaze at all, and his eyes looked back and forth at Wu Yi.
Wu Yi suppressed his disgust and said, "I've brought the money. You can let him go now."
Then, the young man who first took Wu Yi forward asked, "Where's the money?"
Wu Yi handed the money he had just withdrawn to the other party and said, "Here is 160,000 yuan. I will return the remaining money to you within a month."
The leader winked at the young man, took a look at the money in the bag, threw it on the table in front of him, and shook his head, saying, "That won't do. If I say one million, it means one million."
Wu Yi didn't expect the other party to be so unreasonable, so he spoke again: "This is all the money I have now. I will give you the rest within a month."
The leader smiled and said, "It won't be one million in a month."
"How much is it?" Wu Yi asked.
She also realized that today's matter could not be resolved the way she wanted.
However, if the number the other party said was within her acceptable range, Wu Yi would agree to it.
"Ten million." The leading man raised the price.
"Why don't you go and rob it?" Wu Yi said angrily.
The leader laughed and said, "Don't be angry yet. We can discuss this matter. There are other solutions."
"Is there any other solution?"
"If you stay here tonight, not only will we settle our accounts, but you can also take back the 160,000 yuan."
