Tong Xiaohuai frowned and stared intently at him, his hesitation and astonishment not falling into her eyes.
The elevator doors opened with a "ding," and Tong Xiaohuai walked out on her own.
After regaining his senses, Yan Bo hesitated for a moment, but still ran out after him.
"Xiao Huai..."
Tong Xiaohuai had already run to the car, opened the door, and turned to Yan Bo, saying, "Go back now, I'll send you a message later to let you know I'm safe."
If she's alright!
Tong Xiaohuai silently added a sentence in her mind.
Before Yan Bo could catch up, Tong Xiaohuai had already jumped into the car, slammed the door shut, and sped away in the blink of an eye.
Yan Bo's hesitation was merely a momentary retreat. Now, watching her car quickly drive away from him, his heart felt as if it had been pulled out by her car, and from that moment on, it was also drifting further and further away from him.
He didn't realize what was happening until the car disappeared from his sight. He turned around, went back into the elevator, and got his car out of the underground parking garage.
As the car drove out of the building, he realized that he didn't even know where the Tong family's money exchange in Beicheng was.
After thinking for a moment, he still made a phone call to the director he knew.
"Director Cui, this is Yan Bo. May I ask where the money exchange in the northern part of Tongjia is located?"
"Young Master Yan, what's going on?"
"Director Cui, please don't misunderstand. I don't need the money. It's just that a friend of mine borrowed some money from there before, and I'm going to pay him back!"
Anything that can be done with money is no big deal in the eyes of Yan Bo or Director Cui. Therefore, Director Cui didn't ask any further questions and readily gave Yan Bo the address. Finally, he added, "Young Master Yan, if there's anything you can do for me, just let me know."
Yan Bo said "Thanks!" and hung up the phone.
He drove very fast, secretly planning that after this matter was over, he would definitely have someone come and get the addresses and names of all the Tong family's properties in L City tomorrow.
According to Yanbo's estimate, the address Director Cui gave him would take at least an hour to drive there. On the way, he tried to call Tong Xiaohuai several times while waiting at traffic lights, but the call was either busy or unanswered.
Although Yanbo has been in L City for two or three months, he is not very familiar with some of the more remote areas.
He followed the road signs as he remembered them, and an hour later, the car was still a third of the way from his destination.
After finally arriving in the northern part of the city, he wandered around the narrow old streets and finally realized that he was lost.
By the time he finally found someone to ask for directions, an hour and a half had passed since Tong Xiaohuai left.
While he was wandering around the old streets of Beicheng, Tong Xiaohuai, accompanied by Uncle Ming, met with the other party's big boss.
The meeting place was an old noodle shop not far from the money exchange.
The noodle shop was open, but the two groups stood in a circle on either side. On this slightly chilly autumn night, the negotiation meeting between the two groups didn't seem to have any impact on the people around them.
"Brother Shui, how do you plan to resolve today's matter?"
In Tong Xiaohuai's opinion, Brother Shui was clearly here to cause trouble!
"How do we resolve this? No interest, just return the original!"
The incident began when one of Shui Ge's underlings borrowed 100,000 yuan from a money exchange a month ago. At the time, it was stipulated that the principal and interest would be repaid within one month, or else a small shop belonging to the other party would be used as collateral.
The money was due a week ago, but the gang leader not only refused to pay it back, but also refused to pay the interest.
The money exchange manager took the original contract, went directly to the shop to find the person, gave him a final deadline, and said that if the principal and interest were not paid in full by today, the shop would be shut down according to the contract.
Little did they know, before the money exchange manager could even go to collect the money, this little gang leader led his boss, who was none other than Brother Shui in front of them, to the money exchange and started smashing things up!
The Tong brothers were no pushovers, but they couldn't withstand the sheer number of the other side, and in the end, Brother Shui managed to escape.
Tong Xiaohuai received a call from Uncle Ming, who said that Brother Shui wanted to meet her to discuss the money.
In fact, in Tong Xiaohuai's eyes, that 100,000 yuan was just a small amount of money.
But the fact that this "Brother Shui" dared to spend 100,000 yuan to swindle money from a bank shows not only extreme arrogance, but also that he probably has someone backing him up.
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him coldly, "Brother Shui, if everyone calculates it like this, how am I supposed to keep my money exchange open?"
Shui Ge, with his nose in the air, didn't take the girl in front of him seriously at all.
"I don't care about others, but I borrow money and never pay back the principal. Paying you back the principal is an honor!"
Tong Xiaohuai chuckled twice, already unwilling to waste words with this person. He winked at Uncle Ming, and in the blink of an eye, all the people that Brother Shui had brought were pinned down and suppressed one-on-one by the Tong family members, from outside the gate to inside the shop.
Shui Ge's face turned pale in an instant.
Because he could clearly feel that there was a hard object pressing against his head, but he didn't know what it was.
He wasn't new to this business; he could tell what it was from its texture and its aura.
"Tong Xiaohuai, you dare to trick me? Brother K won't let you get away with this!"
It turns out that this "Brother Shui" was just someone who was thrown out and used as a pawn.
"Oh? Then I'll leave you a little bit of breathing room. Go back and tell Brother K all about your treatment!"
As Tong Xiaohuai spoke, he stood up, not even glancing at Brother Shui, who was being held captive by his men. He simply nodded to Uncle Ming and said, "Uncle Ming, I'm leaving now. I'm so tired!"
Uncle Ming nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of things here!"
As Tong Xiaohuai reached the door, Brother Shui, despite being covered in cold sweat, still fearlessly shouted at her retreating figure, "Tong Xiaohuai, I thought you had some real skills! You're just relying on a bunch of old guys to back you up. Who do you think you are? If anyone really respects you, it's because you have a few pretty faces that these old guys..."
With a muffled thud, Brother Shui's words came to an abrupt halt! Immediately following was a crash, the sound of porcelain shattering on the ground.
No one noticed when Tong Xiaohuai had taken a porcelain soup bowl. While Brother Shui was cursing, Tong Xiaohuai turned around, raised his hand, and the soup bowl hit him squarely on the head.
Blood streamed down his forehead, but he was too terrified to make a sound.
Not only him, but many people present were stunned by Tong Xiaohuai's unexpected flick of his hand.
"If you keep babbling, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
Tong Xiaohuai coldly uttered a sentence, but had already walked out of the noodle shop.
Tong Xiaohuai had originally planned to go home and sleep. At this moment, she was not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted. However, when she passed by the crowd, she saw Yan Bo standing not far from the noodle shop, leaning against the car door and standing there blankly!
