In the luxurious suite of the Riddle Bar, Fu Chengyu had already tidied herself up.
During this time, he even calmed himself down, found out who the owner behind the Riddle Bar was, and calculated the huge debt he had incurred that night.
From now on, he owes Ye Zishi, the second master of the Ye family, a full 380 million yuan, written in black and white with a red handprint. Of this, 120 million yuan can be used as collateral for Fu Chengyu's own private residence and sports car, and the remaining 120 million yuan was used as collateral for Fu Chengyu's shares in the Fu Group.
As for the remaining 160 million, the staff member sent by the Riddle Bar to settle the matter smiled and said, "This is your own reputation as collateral, Young Master Fu. It's all because our Second Master Ye trusted you that you signed this IOU."
Fu Chengyu's first reaction was naturally that this was a setup by Ruan Chen.
After calming down, he did not go to see the owner behind the Riddle Bar, even though the staff said that Ye Zishi was inspecting the bar today and that if Young Master Fu needed him, Ye Zishi, as a super luxury VIP, could make time to meet him at any time.
But Fu Chengyu refused.
He immediately hired a legal team and bank staff to conduct an asset assessment and retrieve the surveillance video from the casino the previous night.
During this time, the Riddle Bar provided him with meticulous service and care, serving him delicious food and drinks. Even when Fu Chengyu's eyes ached, his head hurt, and his body was itchy from watching the surveillance footage, two delicate and charming girls came up to him from either side to give him a massage.
After a whole morning, the bank and the legal team had both released their results.
When the bank liquidated Fu Chengyu's assets, the amount was indeed very close to the amount written on the IOU for Riddle Bar. All of Fu Chengyu's assets, including his shares, totaled about 220 million yuan. In this respect, Riddle Bar really did not commit fraud.
After collecting the evidence, the legal team reviewed the surveillance footage frame by frame. All of Fu Chengyu's actions from beginning to end were entirely voluntary. They even took the alcohol Fu Chengyu drank the night before and his blood sample for expedited testing.
Ultimately, it was only proven that a small amount of blood was detected in the alcohol, but the Riddle Bar did not actually do anything as self-destructive as drugging Fu Chengyu.
At this point, Fu Chengyu understood that he had now confirmed his debt of 380 million yuan.
He pondered to himself that the Fu family had strict rules, and gambling was absolutely forbidden among the Fu family's descendants.
The most fatal flaw for Fu Chengyu was not that he lost 380 million yuan, but that he actually mortgaged the shares of the Fu Group.
The shares held by Fu Chengyu are original shares, and although they are only worth 100 million yuan, their value in the Fu Group far exceeds this amount.
If the clan elders find out that he has caused such a huge disaster, even if Fu Jianzhi is dragged down by the trouble he has caused, the clan elders will only choose a more outstanding person from the collateral branches of the Fu family, and will never include him in the consideration of successor.
Therefore, he must cover this up, and he must find a way to repay the 380 million yuan on his own.
He finally called Ruan Chen.
"Ruan Chen, that little fool has come to you for help." Yu Xiaoya was very interested in this drama. Today, she even put aside her company affairs to work from home, just to watch this show with Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen got up, picked up her phone, and exchanged a knowing glance with Yu Xiaoya before answering. She then made a shushing gesture, answered the call slowly, and spoke in a sleepy tone.
"Ruan Chen, did you set me up?!" The moment the call connected, Fu Chengyu's pent-up anger exploded.
Ruan Chen was a little confused, and after a while, she gave a puzzled "hmm," and said, "Are you sick? Didn't you plan the confession yourself? Why are you taking it out on me now? Just because I rejected you? Stop trying to morally blackmail me!"
After saying that, Ruan Chen hung up the phone, threw herself on the sofa, and snuggled up with Yu Xiaoya, laughing.
Soon, Fu Chengyu called a second time. Ruan Chen didn't answer immediately, and only answered after Fu Chengyu called three times in a row.
On the other end of the phone, Fu Chengyu's tone was a bit more polite, "Ruan Chen, don't you know what happened last night?"
Ruan Chen's tone was very impatient, "I just checked for you, it's 380 million, right? You can't afford to pay it back? You're trying to renege on this debt to the Ye family?"
After learning that this matter had nothing to do with Ruan Chen, Fu Chengyu's attitude changed completely. "Ruan Chen, this is not about money. Are you free now? I'd like to meet with you."
"No time. Who do you think I am? Someone you can summon and dismiss at will? Seriously, don't expect me getting involved in this to help you. Don't you know I don't get involved in the Ye family's affairs?" Ruan Chen's tone was very impatient. "Find your own way. This amount of money isn't much for you. Sell your sports car, real estate, artwork, and other miscellaneous items."
Seeing that Ruan Chen was about to hang up again, Fu Chengyu's tone was almost pleading, "No! My family will find out if I raise money on such a large scale! You know our Fu family has strict rules!"
Ruan Chen said sarcastically, "Three hundred and eighty million, I've also witnessed the Fu family's rules."
Before Fu Chengyu could make another request, Ruan Chen had already played hard to get enough. "Alright, let's meet. You're at Riddle Bar, right? I'll head over now."
"This silly boy is about to be extremely grateful to you," Yu Xiaoya teased.
As Ruan Chen changed his clothes, he said, "Are your real estate companies ready?"
"Are you ready? You're really going to ruin Fu Chengyu... just because he bullied the dog you picked up?"
Riddle Bar, Luxury Suite.
Ruan Chen entered the room, exuding a cold and aloof aura that kept strangers at bay. He immediately slammed a contract in front of Fu Chengyu, saying, "Don't say I didn't help you. I'll give you a six-month grace period for this debt. Slowly work on raising the money."
