"What?" Zhang Chunyuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "That's not what Old Wang told me! Wait a minute, let me call him and ask!"
Zhang Chunyuan quickly took out his phone and called Lao Wang, a drinking buddy of his, who was the one who introduced him to the investment company.
Guan Hao's lips curled into a cold smile. In fact, this Lao Wang was one of his men. He had molded him into an upper-class person, making connections with bosses everywhere, and then helping him lend money at high interest rates!
Zhang Chunyuan made two unsuccessful phone calls, then seemed to finally realize what was happening. He stared at Guan Hao and said, "So you're all in cahoots. You tricked me?"
Guan Hao said with a stern face, "Old man, don't make false accusations! You signed the agreement yourself in black and white, no one forced you! In short, ten million, not a penny less. You can use the villa as collateral, but you still owe five million, which you must pay me today!"
Zhang Xuewu listened from the side, his head buzzing.
So Dad's villa is gone, and he still owes someone five million?
What good is a will then?
Returning the two million to Zhang Ailan is like throwing money down the drain!
Zhang Chunyuan said with a stern face, "Mr. Guan, you should know that usury is illegal. Do you believe I'll call the police right now?"
"Call the police?"
Guan Hao's face slowly darkened. He pulled out a dagger and slammed it into the coffee table!
"Fine, go ahead and call the police! But before they arrive, I'll have my henchman break your old arms and legs. My henchman will only be in jail for a few years at most, but your whole family might be dead!"
Zhang Xuewu's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly said, "Dad, don't you still have antiques? Why don't you use them as collateral for General Manager Guan's money first?"
Zhang Chunyuan was also terrified, sweating profusely. He glanced at him and said, "The company hasn't been doing well these past few years, so I sold all my antiques long ago!"
"What? The antiques are gone too?"
Zhang Xuewu was so angry he wanted to curse!
So this will was just a joke to him?
At this moment, Guan Hao looked at Zhang Xuewu again and said, "You're his son? Heh, that's perfect. There's a saying that the son pays for the father's debts. Since your father can't pay them, you'll pay them for him!"
Zhang Xuewu's head was buzzing, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "President Guan, he's not my father, you, you've got it wrong, I don't know him!"
After saying this, he quickly moved far away to the side, acting as if he didn't know Zhang Chunyuan.
Five million! How could he possibly pay that back?
He's even disowning his father!
Zhang Chunyuan froze for a moment, his old body trembling uncontrollably. He pointed at Zhang Xuewu's nose and cursed, "You unfilial son! How have I treated you since you were a child? All the good things in the house were reserved for you. Your older sisters had many complaints about me because of my pampering of you. Now, because of a little debt, you actually disown your father?"
After cursing for a while, Zhang Chunyuan quickly said to Guan Hao, "Mr. Guan, he is my son! I have already made a will for him. You will inherit not only my assets but also my debts. As for the remaining five million, you can ask him for it! By the way, his family also owns a large villa worth more than ten million!"
Zhang Xuewu panicked immediately. "Dad, I only have one house left. If you use it to pay off debts, where am I supposed to live?"
"I don't care where you live! Live wherever you want! If you don't pay off my debt today, we'll both die!" Zhang Chunyuan roared angrily.
Guan Hao pulled out the knife, picked at his nails, and glanced at Zhang Xuewu. "Kid, you heard that too. Your dad said you have to pay back the money. Hurry up and go home to sell your house!"
Zhang Xuewu hurriedly said, "Mr. Guan, the house is registered in my wife's name. She can't possibly agree to sell it. Besides, a house isn't something that can be sold just like that. You have to give me some time, right?"
Guan Hao seemed to have anticipated his response and sneered, "I've already thought this through. You sign a mortgage contract with me first, and consider this five million a loan to you. Don't worry, there's no interest! Go back and sell the house slowly, and pay me back when you're done. As for how to convince your wife, that's your own business!"
Guan Hao waved his hand, had someone bring the contract, and forced Zhang Xuewu to sign it on the spot.
Zhang Xuewu refused to sign, so Guan Hao slammed the dagger into the coffee table, this time piercing through Zhang Xuewu. Zhang Xuewu was so frightened that he wet himself and, trembling with fear, had no choice but to sign the contract.
Guan Hao glanced at the contract and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good! The contract period is one week. I need to see five million after one week, otherwise the interest will double. You can decide for yourselves!"
After saying this, Guan Hao led his men out.
thump!
Zhang Xuewu collapsed to the ground instantly, feeling completely numb!
He glared at Zhang Chunyuan, tears streaming down his face, and roared, "Dad! Are you even my real dad? You've really screwed me over! How am I supposed to go back and explain this to Mei Yun?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Zhang Chunyuan's eyes darted away, but he still stubbornly said, "What can I do? I started this company, wasn't it all for you?"
"You still have the nerve to say it's for my sake?" Zhang Xuewu said angrily, "If Mei Yun finds out about this, she'll definitely divorce me. Then the house will be split in half, and she can find someone else with five million. What about your son? He'll be a complete pauper. I'm forty years old, and nobody wants to hire me. Who would want me? Besides, I don't even have any kids yet! Just wait for our Zhang family line to end!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunyuan's face immediately showed a hint of guilt. "Son, I've dragged you into this mess this time!"
He went over to comfort Zhang Xuewu, but Zhang Xuewu pushed him away and burst into tears.
