Even if this kind of person makes friends, they'll definitely be thugs. But how could thugs possibly beat Han Mingrui's thugs? They're all professionals!
Moreover, she had watched the live stream, and Qin Yiheng was indeed a legendary doctor; everyone called him that, and his apprentice's skills were also showcased in the live stream...
Shen Ru believed it to some extent.
Jiang Yan could obviously tell what Shen Ru was thinking, but she didn't answer directly: "I don't want to talk to you about Qin Yiheng, but he's not what you think he is."
Shen Ru didn't press the matter further.
Now that things have come to this, she certainly knows that Qin Yiheng is not the simple character she imagined.
Her own situation was already complicated enough, and she didn't want to get involved in anything more complicated. She was about to lose her own life, so how could she have the mind to care about others?
"Tell me about you. Weren't they asking for 30 million? What are you planning to do about it?"
It was wonderful that Jiang Yan brought up the topic herself; Shen Ru was just wondering how to start the conversation with her.
Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Yan Yan, I know you've made a lot of money from live streaming, and you also have connections with the Chu family. I really have no other choice. Can you help me? Ask the Chu family to talk to Han Mingrui. Surely he'll give the Chu family some face. I know that among the five major families in Yuzhou, the Chu family is the largest..."
You know quite a lot.
Jiang Yan scoffed inwardly, but on the surface she looked troubled.
"Since you watched my live stream, you should know that I have terminated my contract with Chu Chusheng and have no connection with the Chu family anymore. How can you expect me to speak on your behalf?"
Jiang Yan knew that Shen Ru was such a boastful person, but she still wanted to give Shen Ru a chance.
She knew she had no right to do this, nor should she. Whether to help or not, she should just say it directly.
But she was stuck on this point. It wasn't that she didn't want to help Shen Ru at all; seeing how difficult things were for her, she couldn't bear it. But Shen Ru had to give her a reason to help.
Shen Ru had no idea what Jiang Yan was thinking. She forced a smile and said guiltily, "I know this is indeed a bit unreasonable... but what else can I do? Do you have thirty million to lend me?"
Jiang Yan felt a mix of emotions and was suddenly speechless.
I have 30 million, but I don't want to lend it to you.
Whose money is ready, just waiting for you to come and borrow it, and then they'll lend it to you?
"You've always been like this. Whether you want someone to help you or someone asks you for help, you always come up with a whole bunch of conditions, and you do it all with complete self-righteousness."
Seeing Jiang Yan's displeasure, Shen Ru realized that she had been too hasty in expressing herself.
Although the atmosphere of their conversation was fairly good, it was far worse than it was in college. Jiang Yan is no longer the same Jiang Yan she used to be.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Yan Yan, I was just too anxious..." Shen Ru apologized very quickly.
But in those three words, "I'm sorry," was even one word truly sincere?
"As you know, I can't possibly come up with 30 million. How could I possibly have that much money? Besides, I feel that even if I give them the money, people like them might still come after me. I really don't want to live like this anymore, Yan Yan."
Shen Ru was completely incoherent and didn't know what she was saying, but her fear and anxiety were genuine.
"Over the years, I've met quite a few people, but emotionally speaking, we're still the closest. Please help me, please think of a solution. What should I do? Don't let my calm demeanor fool you, I'm truly at my wit's end. They only gave me three days, and it's already the second day. If I don't have the money by tomorrow night, I'll..."
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Ru's matter needed to be resolved, Jiang Yan really wouldn't want to say another word to her.
Since she's been given two chances and still refuses to take them, there's really nothing we can do.
In order to completely eliminate Shen Ru as a potential threat, Jiang Yan had no choice but to provoke her.
Jiang Yan then sighed softly.
"If only I had known then what I know now."
These eight words sometimes feel incredibly powerless. If there were a pill to undo regrets, Shen Ru would definitely go bankrupt to buy one and make sure none of this ever happened.
Shen Ru clenched her fists.
Why even say something so pointless? Isn't it just adding to the frustration?
"It's no use talking about that now. I have to find a way to get the 30 million, otherwise they said they'd target my family. I have to get it..."
Shen Ru made a huge decision and kept repeating it to herself. She kept her head down, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked somewhat crazy.
Jiang Yan stood up, took a card from the bedroom, and handed it to Shen Ru.
"This is part of my savings. Even if it were me, I really couldn't come up with thirty million, but here's ten million. As for the rest, you can think of another way..."
As Jiang Yan spoke, she sighed again, seemingly disapproving of Shen Ru's statements and actions.
Originally, Shen Ru was overjoyed when she saw the bank card, but when she heard that it was only one-third of the original amount, her already faint smile froze on her face.
Her eyes were still bloodshot, and a hint of confusion lingered in them, making her look quite strange.
Shen Ru murmured softly, "Ten million? How could this be..."
"What?" Jiang Yan didn't hear clearly.
Shen Ru didn't care about anything else. She forced a smile and revealed an even more distorted one.
"How come there's only ten million? Yan Yan, are you going to start your live stream...?"
Seemingly realizing that she looked terrible, Shen Ru paused, calmed her anxious and almost unsettled emotions, and tried to maintain a normal state.
After a while, she spoke again, her voice much calmer and even more conciliatory.
"I mean, your live streams are pretty popular, right? So many fans are sending you gifts. I've watched a few times, and you're always at the top of the leaderboard. And you also have a base salary, right? Plus commission, how could you only have this little money after all this time?"
Then, feigning concern for Jiang Yan, she tentatively asked, "Could it be that the company and platform have withheld all of it?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's expression turned cold.
You're overthinking it.
Shen Ru didn't think she was wrong about anything.
"I'm only doing this for your own good, afraid you'll be scammed..."
"No." Jiang Yan's voice was completely flat.
