Rong Yu stood beside Bai Qianmo the whole time, afraid that the thugs would run into her.
"How much money did you borrow at exorbitant interest rates?"
Rong Yu's face was scrunched up tightly, filled with regret and self-reproach: "Fifty thousand."
Fifty thousand, that's probably already ten times the interest.
"Qianmo, you shouldn't have run over here. These people aren't good people. I'm afraid they might do something to you later..."
Rong Yu's gaze turned icy: "If they dare to bully you, I'll fight them to the death!"
Bai Qianmo chuckled noncommittally: "That's called throwing an egg against a rock."
Rong Yu looked utterly embarrassed: "Anyway, I will protect you with my life."
Bai Qianmo didn't say anything more. She looked around and saw that it was a large study with a row of large bookshelves on the east side, filled with many books, most of which were about stock trading.
In the center of the study is a solid wood desk with some documents scattered on it. A computer is on, displaying the A-share market trend.
From the moment she entered the garden, she thought that the owner of the garden did not look like a crude old scoundrel. On the contrary, he exuded a cultured air. Looking at the bookshelf full of books in the study, she thought that he must have a certain level of education.
"Don't worry, things aren't that bad yet!" Bai Qianmo gently comforted Rong Yu.
Several thugs stood behind them, waiting for their big boss.
A few minutes later, a group of people walked into the study.
Bai Qianmo looked up and saw that the person in the lead was a middle-aged man in his forties with a tall and straight figure, who looked like he had been working out for a long time.
He wore a simple shirt and trousers, with silver-rimmed glasses, exuding a commanding presence. His narrow, almond-shaped eyes were slightly upturned, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade when he looked over.
"Fourth Brother, these are the people A-Fei brought back!"
Gou Si walked to the leather sofa and sat down, casually crossing his long legs. His subordinate immediately offered him a cigar and lit it.
Gou Si took a drag, swallowed a mouthful of smoke, and then began to scrutinize Bai Qianmo and Rong Yu. To be precise, his sinister and cold gaze was fixed on Bai Qianmo the whole time.
His eyes were like those of a lurking venomous snake, staring intently at its prey that was about to be devoured.
Bai Qianmo's gaze met Gou Si's. Her calm eyes held no panic, only indifference and aloofness.
Gou Si puffed on his cigar, his sharp, eagle-like eyes curving into a smile of interest.
Although he was dressed very elegantly, the expression on his face and the aura around him gave people a strong sense of oppression.
When Rong Yu saw Gou Si staring intently at Bai Qianmo, he straightened his back and stood in front of Bai Qianmo.
"Master Gou, the money was borrowed by me and has nothing to do with my friend. If you have any problems, come at me alone."
“Young man, reckless bravado won’t do you any good, nor will it do your friends any good. If I were you, I would shut up immediately!” Gou Si laughed.
He turned to the man in the floral shirt standing beside him and asked, "How much did he borrow?"
"Fifty thousand, including principal and interest, you should repay five hundred thousand."
The man raised an eyebrow, puffed on his cigar, and his deep gaze fell on Bai Qianmo again.
"Five hundred thousand is nothing to me, but it must be a huge sum for you."
Rong Yu frowned: "I was deceived by my relatives at the time. My uncle borrowed the money in my name, and I only received 30,000 yuan."
The thugs couldn't help but laugh when they heard Rong Yu's words.
The man in the floral shirt sneered, "Kid, there are plenty of people like you on our debt collection list. That's no excuse for refusing to pay back your money."
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t pay it back. If you just give me two more months, I will definitely be able to raise the money.”
He still owes nearly 200,000 yuan from filming; if all else fails, he'll take out a bank loan to cover the shortfall. What he lacks now isn't a solution, but time.
The eyes of the man in the floral shirt and the thug both fell on Bai Qianmo.
A few hundred thousand is nothing to alarm the boss. The reason he brought them here today is simply to deliver women to the boss.
Clearly, this girl's appearance is right up the boss's alley.
Stunning yet not seductive, she effortlessly shifts between refinement and innocence, making her appear both beautiful and pure. This kind of look is fatal to all men, especially older men like Gou Si who have experienced countless relationships and dated many women.
Gou Si sneered: "Young man, every industry has its own rules. I have a bunch of brothers to support. If everyone who borrowed money delayed paying it back like you, our company would have gone bankrupt long ago. But... since you don't have it right now, I'm not going to force you to your death. If you can come up with something else to exchange for it, it's not impossible!"
Rong Yu instantly understood what Gou Si meant and said angrily, "My friend has nothing to do with me."
"Hehe, you look so nervous, do you like her?"
Rong Yu's lips tightened, his whole body stiff: "We... are just friends."
Gou Si snorted coldly, looking like he was losing patience. He glanced at the man in the floral shirt next to him, and the man immediately understood.
"Take that girl away."
Two thugs shoved Rong Yu aside and surrounded Bai Qianmo with wicked grins.
As they reached out their dark hands to grab Bai Qianmo, she sneered and delivered a swift spinning kick, sending the two men flying to the ground.
The movements were swift and lightning-fast, giving no one time to catch their breath. The two thugs, clutching their swollen, red faces, collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
Gou Si frowned, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
