As if sensing his contempt, Chu Huanzhao became somewhat embarrassed and angry: "What exactly did you do to owe him so much money!"
Anger value from Chu Huanzhao +241!
Mei Shisan, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that someone would help Zu An pay back the money, which would be troublesome, since his goal was not money, but life!
“He came to our gambling den a while ago, and he lost so much money after a few rounds.”
Mei Shisan thought it would be better for this pretty girl to know his true colors, lest she be blinded by love and help him pay back the money. Hmm, this girl looks somewhat familiar.
"Zu'an, you bastard, you actually went gambling? Do you know that's the biggest taboo in our Chu family! Last year, one of our cousins even had his leg broken after gambling." Chu Huanzhao immediately exploded.
Anger value from Chu Huanzhao +333!
Mei Hua Shisan was startled and finally realized that this little girl was the second young lady of the Chu family. Strange, wasn't Zu An supposed to be a good-for-nothing who was not well-liked in the Chu family? She didn't seem like it at all.
Zuan was also having a headache, as he was annoyed by Mei Hua Thirteen's constant pestering: "Stop acting like a nagging ghost every day, I'll give it back to you."
After saying that, he pulled out a bag from his pocket: "There are 7 spirit stones inside. These things are priceless and have no market value. They're worth at least 800 taels. Here's another 100 taels..."
Cheng Shouping, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. His son-in-law had been penniless when he came today, so how did he become so rich after just one day of school?
However, Zu An was in an awkward situation. He had scraped together what he could, but he was still a few dozen taels short of a thousand taels. Fortunately, Chu Huanzhao took out a Yuan Stone and threw it to him: "Here's another one. Consider the extra money a tip. Now get lost."
Mei Hua Thirteen took the bag with some skepticism. Inside were indeed genuine spirit stones, and she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Where did you get so many?"
"What do you care where I got it from? Just give me back the IOU." Zu An stretched out his hand in front of him.
"No way, what if you stole this at school? We don't accept stolen goods," Mei Shisan said hurriedly. Their goal was to kill this guy, and they never expected him to be able to pay back the money.
“I’m handsome, so why would anyone give me gifts? If you don’t believe me, go ask the school yourself,” Zu’an snorted. “You’re making excuses and deliberately refusing to return my IOU. What are you up to? Keep confessing. Go back and tell our father that the Plum Blossom Gang is bullying our Chu family.”
Mei Hua Thirteen looked exasperated. Those other sons-in-law were all ashamed to admit their status, but this guy was different. He kept calling himself "Father" of the Chu family. Did he have no shame?
However, he was also worried about alarming Mingyue Gong. If Zu'an owed them money, it would be fine, but they had already paid back the money, and they were still holding on to it. Anyone would suspect that they had ulterior motives.
"Alright, alright, here's your IOU back." Mei Hua Shisan took out the IOU, already regretting bringing it with him. He had brought it because he was worried about being accused of causing trouble by the academy, so he brought it to leave them with nothing to say. He never expected that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
Zuan took it and saw that it was indeed the same one from before: "Didn't you mention having a dungeon before? Take it out too."
Mei Hua Thirteen said in a deep voice, "I said that before to trick you. How could there be a copy of a promissory note? Even if there were, it wouldn't have any legal effect."
Zu An showed the IOU to Chu Huanzhao to confirm that the other party was not lying. He then tore the IOU to shreds and rubbed it between his hands until it was crushed into powder.
He now possesses the strength of 143 adult men, making it easy for him to crush a piece of paper.
However, he was still not very satisfied. Thinking back to the black flames that entwined Pei Mianman's body, he thought that thing was cool. A flick of the finger and the problem was solved. Why did he have to grind it here like a fool?
"Since the IOU has been destroyed, I'll be leaving." Mei Hua Thirteen wanted to get back quickly and discuss it with the gang leader. Since they couldn't get the IOU, they had to find another way.
"Wait, don't go." Zu'an suddenly called out to him. Mei Hua Thirteen was startled and hadn't reacted when he heard the other party shout, "Help! Help! The Mei Hua Gang is robbing us!"
Mei Hua Thirteen stared at him with a look of utter disbelief. What was this guy doing?
However, he quickly understood. A gust of wind swept by, and a middle-aged man with a bald spot on the top of his head appeared nearby, looking at the group with a gloomy expression.
"What exactly happened?" The one who came was Rude, the school's dean of students. He was in charge of security at the school gate after school and rushed over as soon as he heard the commotion.
Zuan had deliberately shouted because he had just seen him nearby. Seeing that he had indeed come after hearing the news, he hurriedly said in rapid succession, "Reporting to the teacher, this person stole our spirit stones, which were given to us by the school."
Mei Hua Thirteen, who was standing to the side, almost vomited blood in anger and hurriedly retorted, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't."
Anger value from Plum Blossom Thirteen +666!
Zuan said, "If you don't believe me, teacher, you can check his bag. He just robbed us of our spirit stones. They were issued by the school, and each one is engraved with a number."
To prevent each academy from embezzling funds, the imperial court allocates resources to students of all qualification levels. Each issued spirit stone is also numbered and recorded, making it easy to investigate if anything goes wrong.
Generally, when trading these Yuan Stones on the black market, to avoid trouble, both parties will sign an agreement as evidence, or erase the serial number on the stone after the transaction. Mei Hua Thirteen is not a professional in this field, and her mind was only focused on going back to discuss countermeasures with the gang leader, which is why she was careless for a moment.
