Emperor Phoenix: The Divine Doctor Abandoned Concubine 944 Borrowing money, it’s good to have inside information
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling didn't care whether Su Rou's plan would fail. In their opinion, Su Rou was no different from a dead person. Feng Qingchen thought it was better for Su Rou to be alive, so let Su Rou continue to live.
Compared with Su Rou's life and death, they were more concerned about who was the mastermind behind the fire in the zoo, and Feng Qingchen's safety.
Therefore, for Feng Qingchen's safety, even if Feng Qingchen had no injuries on his body, he had to be told that he was burned, and very seriously.
It's not that the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling deliberately made trouble for Feng Qingchen, but only by saying this can the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to disturb the water in the imperial city so as to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
In order to make it look like serious injuries, Feng Qingchen wrapped bandages on his body and arms. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen's face was exposed at the time, and everyone in the zoo knew that Feng Qingchen's face was not burned, so Feng Qingchen's face escaped the disaster and was not wrapped in thick bandages.
It was not enough to just bandage it, Feng Qingchen had to lie in bed all the time to avoid being exposed. It was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, Feng Qingchen got bored and counted her hair in the bed.
"It turns out that pretending to be sick requires a technical skill. We can't live like this anymore." Feng Qingchen rolled around in the bed, while Tong Jue and Tong Yao laughed silently and dared not make a sound.
Because Feng Qingchen was "seriously injured", even if someone came to see her, they did not need Feng Qingchen as a patient to entertain them. In order to avoid being exposed, Feng Qingchen would never see anyone she could avoid seeing. Usually, the only people who could talk to her were a few people who knew her, but they were all busy.
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling were investigating the fire, while the Master of Xuanyi Valley was busy accompanying Yun Xiao. One day, he met Cui Haoting and kept pestering him. If Cui Haoting was not the sixteenth son of the Cui family, the Master of Xuanyi Valley would most likely have pinned him down and cut another wound.
You can't mess with medical lunatics.
Everyone was busy, even Tong Jue and Tong Yao were busy as hell, Feng Qingchen was even more bored. If he hadn't known the overall situation, Feng Qingchen would have removed the bandage long ago. |
When Feng Qingchen was bored to death, someone finally came to keep her company.
"Su Wenqing, are you here to visit the patient?" Feng Qingchen propped himself up with one hand and motioned Su Wenqing to sit down.
"You look like you're sick." Having said that, Su Wenqing still obediently offered the supplements.
Feng Qingchen looked at Su Wenqing's pale face and listless appearance, and nodded heavily: "Compared to you, I really don't look like a patient. Instead, you look like a patient. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Stretch out your hand."
This is a doctor's occupational disease. When they see that the patient is not looking well, they want to diagnose him. Even if they are "recovering" from an illness, they cannot change this professional habit.
Su Wenqing was distracted, and when he heard Feng Qingchen's words, he didn't think much about it, and obediently stretched out his hand. When Feng Qingchen was about to feel the pulse, Su Wenqing remembered that Feng Qingchen was a doctor, and quickly withdrew his hand: "I'm fine, it's you who is unwell."
"Not sick? Why do you look so sick if you're not sick?" Feng Qingchen didn't quite believe it and wondered if Su Wenqing's kidney disease was getting worse.
That shouldn't be the case. The last follow-up visit was good.
Seeing Feng Qingchen frowning in thought, Su Wenqing guessed what Feng Qingchen was thinking. His face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Feng Qingchen, I'll say it again, I'm not sick, I'm fine."
"Okay, okay, you're not sick, you're not sick, I get it, you don't have to repeat it again." This strong voice really didn't sound like she was sick. Besides, with the master of Xuanyi Valley here, it wouldn't be her turn to worry even if Su Wenqing was sick.
Thinking of this, Feng Qingchen stopped asking questions, but Su Wenqing was not happy. Instead, he sat there sullenly and didn't say anything. The more Feng Qingchen looked at him, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked tentatively, "Su Wenqing, are you okay?"
"Not very good." Su Wenqing was originally pretending to be pitiful, and when Feng Qingchen asked, he took the opportunity to say it.
"What happened?" Feng Qingchen was now certain that even if Su Wenqing was not sick, he was in trouble.
Su Wenqing glanced at Feng Qingchen, wanting to speak but stopping. Feng Qingchen was not in a hurry, just waiting for Su Wenqing to speak. Su Wenqing waited for a long time, but Feng Qingchen did not ask any more questions. He asked unhappily, "Feng Qingchen, can't you ask more questions?"
Didn’t you see that he was waiting for Feng Qingchen to speak?
"Do you need it? Looking at you, you would tell me even if I don't ask you." Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows. Don't think that her eyesight will be damaged just because she is "recuperating".
Su Wenqing gnashed his teeth in anger. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was not curious or concerned at all, he knew that teasing Feng Qingchen would only end up killing himself. Su Wenqing took a deep breath and quickly told her what he wanted to say today: "Feng Qingchen, I came here today to borrow some money from you."
"Borrow money? How much?" Feng Qingchen knew that Su Wenqing was probably embarrassed. The concept of male superiority and female inferiority was deeply rooted in his mind. It definitely took courage for a grown man to ask a woman to borrow money.
Su Wenqing is a proud man at heart, and he would never say this if he had no other choice.
Su Wenqing's ears turned red. He had prepared himself mentally for a long time, but he was still embarrassed to speak. Seeing that Feng Qingchen didn't care at all, he managed to calm down and reported the number he wanted: "Two million taels."
"Two million taels?" Feng Qingchen repeated in surprise.
This, this is too much. How could she have so much money?
"Yeah." After speaking, Su Wenqing no longer had anything to worry about. He was just not used to it and had never asked a woman to borrow money before.
Asking Feng Qingchen for help and cooperation is one thing, but borrowing money is another, and the amount he borrowed was such a large sum.
"Why do you need so much silver?" Feng Qingchen didn't want to find out what Su Wenqing was going to do, but the amount was too large and she had no way of taking it out.
Su Wenqing did not hide anything from Feng Qingchen and reported all the loopholes in the gambling game one by one.
Feng Qingchen was not surprised after hearing this. How could the merchants keep the silver in their hands in a money house? Of course, they would use it as capital for operation. However, Su Wenqing was unlucky. He could not get his silver back in a short time and could not make the turnover for a while.
"So, you still need five million taels." Feng Qingchen frowned when he heard Su Wenqing calculate the amounts one by one.
This gambling game is a big cake, and there are many people who want to share it. If Su Wenqing cannot come up with the money, those people may tear Su Wenqing to pieces.
"Not that much. As long as you win a game against the Su family, Jiuqing will win nearly two million taels, and I will only be short of three million taels. Two days ago, I transferred one million taels from the No. 1 Bank in the World, so I am only short of two million taels now." Su Wenqing transferred all the silver he could, but in the end he was still short of nearly two million taels.
Although two million taels is a lot, it is nothing for a businessman of the country's richest man's level. However... Su Wenqing cannot go to his friends or partners in the business world to borrow money.
Once the request is made, regardless of whether the money can be borrowed or not, the news that the Su family is going to collapse will definitely spread, and then the Su family will be in even worse situation. Maybe people will start to push the wall before it falls...
