Chapter 99: Debt Collection
The room was quiet for a moment until Yun Shuili's voice rang out. The mermaid's voice was pleasant to the ears, like the sound of nature.
"She doesn't remember us now, so it's best not to do anything unnecessary."
He was also really worried that affecting the course of time too much would lead to changes in the future.
They are now not in an illusion or a memory, but in the real world of the past timeline. That is to say, if Jiang Jiu really recovers her memory in the future, as they leave the long river of time, there will be more memories of the past in her mind of them accompanying her here.
If the future changes, everything will be unpredictable.
"Who would do unnecessary things? Isn't it obvious at a glance?"
Xiao Nianzhong curled the corner of his mouth sarcastically, his gaze falling on Yu Zimo who was standing in the shadows. They knew too well how possessive this Ghost King was of Jiang Jiu. The paranoid yandere tried to monopolize Jiang Jiu. If they were not short of manpower, they would not even want to bring this guy along to avoid trouble.
"....I won't."
Yu Zimo pursed his lips slightly, looked away for a while, and uttered three words.
If it really involves Jiang Jiu's safety, he will never act recklessly. No matter how strong his possessiveness is, he has to give way to Jiang Jiu's life.
"Okay, there's no point in arguing. We need to help the little thing recover her memory, but it's obvious that even though you found her, you haven't accomplished anything yet. If things are progressing so slowly, perhaps other means of intervention are needed."
Chi Li waved his hand, interrupting Xiao Nianzhong's hesitation to speak, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Other means? What do you mean?"
Xiao Nian frowned and looked at Chi Li.
Although he said that Chi Li was unreliable, he actually believed the fox's words more than others. After all, the fox was right about many things, but failed to prevent that thing from happening.
"We need to recreate some of the scenes we had with Jiang Jiu, using all sorts of methods and means, as long as they can make her remember them."
Chi Li said in a calm tone.
After he finished speaking, the others fell into a strange silence. At least for Yu Zimo, the situation when he and Xiao Jiuer first met was quite bad. It would be better to say that if the scene was restored, Jiang Jiu might hate him even more.
After all, when they met again this time, he just stood on the way home from school waiting for her to show up, but she was scared.
"Okay, everyone, use your own methods."
After a while, Yun Shuili seemed to have figured something out. A charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone changed from calm to determined.
His original character was to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he only restrained his bad behavior for Jiang Jiu.
Xiao Nian glanced at Yun Shuili again, and felt suspicious. He had always thought that Yun Shuili had a bad character, and it was still the same now.
Everyone ended the conversation with their own thoughts in a fruitless one.
Now, whoever can make Jiang Jiu recall his past first will be able to seize the initiative. No one will give up this opportunity, and of course it will not be given to others.
Jiang Jiu didn't know all this yet. She lay in the bedroom unconscious until the next morning.
...
The sky was getting light, and Jiang Jiu seemed to hear a loud banging on the door in her daze. She sat up from the bed with a start, her whole body in a daze, and she only vaguely remembered the tragic scene she saw last night.
The banging sound of the door continued. Jiang Jiu got out of bed in a panic, without even wearing shoes, and walked towards the living room.
She was afraid that the landlord knew something and came to claim compensation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw that the living room was intact, without any signs of damage, as if everything last night was a dream, and the other men had disappeared, and no one knew where they went.
The banging sound on the door continued. Although she felt a little confused, the most important thing now was to open the door.
This rental house was very simple, without even a peephole, so Jiang Jiu couldn't be sure who the person was.
As a result, the moment she opened the door, she was pushed to the ground.
She looked up in a daze and saw a group of people blocking the door with ferocious looks, looking at her with strong hostility.
"You're Ginger Wine, right?"
A burly man walked up and looked down at Jiang Jiu, with disdain written on his face, but he still said.
"...It's me...what's wrong?"
Jiang Jiu felt very uneasy, but she had no other choice now. She moved her body back with difficulty, leaned against the sofa and tried to stand up while answering the questions of the men.
"Huh, what's wrong? Are you Jiang Hai's daughter?"
A somewhat strange yet strangely familiar name appeared in Jiang Jiu's ears. She was slightly stunned and then pursed her lips.
"What are you going to do?"
She really hadn't heard this name for a long time, but she knew who it was. Although her memory was not clear, she had heard it from her mother. It was her biological father.
It's just that her parents divorced a long time ago, and she has been living with her mother. She has never seen her biological father again. Her mother is also very secretive about him, so Jiang Jiu's memory of him is very vague.
"Humph, he owed a debt and ran away because he couldn't pay it back. Of course, we have to exchange his woman and child for it."
The man snorted coldly and looked Jiang Jiu up and down. His eyes were evil, obscene and disgusting, which made Jiang Jiu get goose bumps all over his body.
She almost subconsciously grabbed the weapon beside her, and her voice was trembling uncontrollably.
"I don't have any money. He didn't leave me a cent. I'm just a high school student. I can't pay him back."
She shouldn't have opened the door. She was caught off guard and let the wolf in.
Jiang Jiu felt regretful, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't defeat this group of men alone, so she could only find a way to delay time.
For the first time, she missed those guys who claimed to be her lovers in her previous life so much. Why did they disappear at the critical moment, leaving her here alone?
Jiang Jiu wanted to cry in her heart, but she still maintained a strong mask on the surface, trying hard not to let the tears in her eyes flow out, and said pretending to be calm.
"I don't know how much he owes you. If you really want to get the money, it's impossible to rely on me. Or if you are willing to wait, I can go to college and work hard to repay you. Now we live in a society ruled by law. If you do anything to me, the police will not let you go."
"Of course, there is another way. I can take you to find my biological father, but the prerequisite is that you leave first today. Otherwise, it will alert him and I may not be able to contact him."
Jiang Jiu tried his best to sort out his thoughts, half coaxing and half lying, mixing truth and lies.
