Chapter 387 Debt Collection
The next morning, Huo Xilin sent Xu Qingsui to work. After he left, she was about to walk into the museum when a voice came from behind her: "Xu Qingsui."
Xu Qingsui suddenly froze, turned slowly, and looked at Lu Jingyu who came out from the corner, feeling inexplicably panicked.
Could it be that the people who were arranged to be around my brother and the others were discovered?
Every time Lu Jingyu appeared, nothing good happened. Xu Qingsui was not afraid that he would do anything to her, but she was very afraid that Lu Jingyu would do something bad to her relatives.
Although she was flustered, she remained calm on the surface and asked Lu Jingyu, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Jingyu approached Xu Qingsui with a casual step. It was obvious that the money Xu Qingsui gave him last time finally allowed him to live a good life. He wore branded clothes and was neatly dressed, unlike the first time they met, when he was tattered and smelled bad.
"Where did you and Qin Fang go last night and the night before yesterday?" Lu Jingyu went straight to the point and asked Xu Qingsui directly.
After hearing Lu Jingyu's question, Xu Qingsui's worried heart finally relaxed. He didn't know about the bodyguard.
So he pretended to be calm and said, "Eat, you've been following me all the time, and my every move is under your surveillance. Do you think I dare to do anything?"
"You'd better not dare." Lu Jingyu snorted coldly: "I have no money left, transfer some money to me."
"I just gave you so much money last time, and you spent it all?" Xu Qingsui asked in disbelief. That much money was enough for Lu Jingyu to live a wealthy life for several lifetimes.
Lu Jingyu said irritably: "I lost the money in gambling, so just give it back when I asked you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
After saying this, he glared at Xu Qingsui with a ferocious look, as if he would beat her to death immediately if she dared to say no.
Even though he had a ferocious face and fierce tone, Xu Qingsui was not afraid of him. Facing his gaze, she calmly asked, "How much do you need?"
Lu Jingyu opened his mouth and said, "Give me 100 million first. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for more."
Xu Qingsui took a deep breath. One hundred million might not be enough. He would have to keep giving more later. He was really bold to ask for that.
She sneered: "I gave you so much last time, you don't think I still have a lot of money on me, do you?"
"Let's not talk about the money our family compensated you for. Let's just talk about Huo Xilin. He has so much money. One hundred million is just the tip of the iceberg of the Huo family's assets. Xu Qingsui, are you going to cry poor to me?" Lu Jingyu asked viciously.
"My money is my money, and Huo Xilin's money is Huo Xilin's money. Although we are married, our assets are not placed in the same place. What's more, would a smart man like Huo Xilin hand over his assets to a woman like me?" Xu Qingsui lied without changing his expression.
"What's more, don't forget our two-year agreement. If I touch Huo Xilin's money now, although 100 million is nothing to Huo Xilin, it is still a large sum of money. It will definitely make him suspicious. According to his ability, if he finds any clues, you may never get what you want. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"
"For one hundred million, you're willing to give up tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even more. Are you sure?"
Xu Qingsui's eloquent questioning made Lu Jingyu, who had originally had a tough attitude, begin to hesitate, and embarrassment and fear appeared on his face.
"Well... I don't care. You have to find a way to get me some money now!" He said to Xu Qingsui, "Give me all the money you have. I need it!"
Looking at Lu Jingyu's reaction, Xu Qingsui guessed that he must have encountered some difficulties, and the most likely difficulty was that he lost in gambling and was being chased for debt.
Compared with Lu Jingyu, that group of debt collectors are the real desperadoes who walk outside the law and use any means to achieve their goals. It is easy to imagine what will happen to Lu Jingyu if he fails to pay the money and falls into their hands.
Xu Qingsui suddenly had a terrible thought. She didn't want to be entangled by Lu Jingyu any longer, nor did she want her family to be in danger. If Lu Jingyu was killed by that group of people, would that be...
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Xu Qingsui was frightened by her own thoughts. How could she have such thoughts? As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Once you get involved with that group of people, it will be difficult to get away from them.
Although that group of people could help her solve the current dilemma, it was not the best choice for her. Instead, it was like walking from a wolf's den into another tiger's den. She had weaknesses: her child, Xu Di, Lin Wan, and Huo Xilin. She could not afford to gamble.
"Xu Qingsui, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Lu Jingyu asked Xu Qingsui in a stern voice.
"I can give you the money, but you have to give me some time. You know, large withdrawals require an appointment. I just withdrew so much money last time. If I withdraw again this time, I will have to wait."
"Tomorrow night at the latest. I don't have time. Before 8 o'clock tomorrow night, prepare 50 million yuan, and send it to the place where you delivered it last time. I'll wait for you. If you are one cent less or one minute late, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
After Lu Jingyu warned Xu Qingsui, he looked around and then turned and left.
Xu Qingsui hated this feeling of being threatened, but she had not yet figured out how to deal with it, so she could only cooperate with Lu Jingyu's orders.
Helplessly, she could only tell Tang Cheng and then go to the nearest bank to make an appointment to withdraw money.
As soon as Lu Jingyu walked into the alley, he was knocked down by two people who appeared, tied his hands behind his back, and forced him to kneel.
Soon, footsteps were heard, and a blonde beauty walked up to Lu Jingyu and slowly squatted down.
The moment Lu Jingyu saw the person coming, his eyes were filled with fear, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. He begged desperately, "Ms. Wang, I will definitely pay you back the money I owe you. I will deliver it to you on time at 8:30 tomorrow night."
The woman was playing with a triangular sharp knife in her hand, with a harmless smile on her face, but her eyes were full of indifference.
"Master Lu, you know I am a man of my word. If you can't pay the money back on time tomorrow, what will be the consequences..."
The gentle voice sounded like the sound of nature, but to Lu Jingyu's ears, it sounded like summoning the soul.
The sharp tip of the knife gently scratched his cheek, and the cold touch made the fear in his eyes even greater.
Three years ago, the same sharp knife had slashed across his cheek. The pain was still fresh in his memory. Although the wound on his face had healed, the fear it brought him was something he would never forget.
