Chapter 214 The Fire Is Burning



Xiang Nanzhi chuckled softly, "When did this happen?"

"It's been a while, but I haven't had a chance to tell you."

Jiang Yao could tell that Xiang Nanzhi was in low spirits, and she suddenly had an idea. "Actually, if you want to know whether Shen Shixun has betrayed you, looking at anything else won't help."

"Then what's the point of looking at anything?"

"I'll find you a woman; you just need to test her to find out his true nature."

Xiang Nanzhi was eager to help, but she shook her head. "If you really want to help me, help me find Chen Moli. Chen Moli has a husband in China. My second brother said he's in Li Luchuan's hands, but I don't know how to lure him out."

Shen Shixun left the apartment, and Xiang Nanzhi felt empty inside, not knowing where he had gone, so she called Yang He...

Yang He's phone was ringing when he was pinned down in an alley and beaten.

"I'll pay you back, I promise I'll pay you back..."

"Give me a few more days, and I will definitely pay you back."

"Three days. I'll give you three more days. If you don't pay me back, I'll kill you!"

Yang He's legs went weak from the beating. Only after the attacker left did he pick up his phone from the ground; the screen was already cracked.

He hadn't walked far when he saw Shen Shixun coming over. He quickly got up and turned to run away.

Shen Shixun grabbed his clothes, "What's going on?"

Yang He didn't tell anyone that in order to pay off the money he had borrowed from Shen Shixun, he sold his house in his hometown and also borrowed money from others.

He didn't notice the high interest rate when he signed the papers. He managed to raise the money to pay off the principal, but the interest kept piling up, and the interest was quite alarming.

Yang He initially didn't tell Shen Shixun because he felt ashamed, but now that he couldn't hide it anymore, there was no need to continue hiding it.

Shen Shixun glanced at it and saw that Yang He had already repaid six or seven thousand more than the principal. Six or seven thousand was a very high amount for him. These loan companies were simply outrageous.

Where are they?

“Sehun, these people are not easy to mess with. They all have some connections in the underworld. There isn’t much left. I can pay it back. It’s just that Shiqi is in school right now and I’m a little short on money.”

Shen Shixun laughed, "My friend has never urged you to pay back the money, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Your family is also struggling financially."

Meanwhile, Rooney and Gila, following Shen Shixun's advice, acquired many cattle and sheep on the grassland and expanded the enclosures for them at night.

The cows and sheep were separated, but their genders were not. At night, the cows mated with the cows, and the sheep mated with the sheep. Gila's belly was big, and she couldn't do anything strenuous. Rooney could only watch, feeling hot all over.

That night, Rooney came in from outside, lit a pipe, and saw that the female mastiff he had recently brought back was quite pregnant. He cursed Old Black a few times at the door, and Old Black, displeased, howled at him.

Once inside, Rooney was overwhelmed by the noise from the entertainment circle.

"Gila, why does he want us to buy so many cattle and sheep?"

"I don't know, maybe they have other plans. It's good to have more cattle and sheep, so we won't have to worry about not having meat to eat, and we can also make money from it."

"We had enough to eat before."

"Since our elder brother has spoken, let's listen to him."

——

Shen Shixun found Master Zhou and asked him about the loan company that was collecting debts from Yang He. Old Ding, who was by Master Zhou's side, quickly provided information about the loan company. The legal representative was a man named Zhang Wei.

Thanks.

"You're in deep trouble yourself, yet you're still sticking up for others?"

Clearly, nothing in the ancient city could be kept from him, especially regarding the mines.

"I will handle my own affairs."

Li Luchuan was wary of Xiang Ciyuan, but he couldn't stop Zhang Yandong.

Zhang Yandong had someone keep an eye on Li Gao, who was standing next to Li Luchuan. Soon, they found Chen Moli's husband, Qin Yu, in a garden villa in the city.

Having been imprisoned for so long, Qin Yu himself really wanted to escape, but he was worried that he hadn't had the chance.

Zhang Yandong's men explained their purpose and took him away. Qin Yu got into the car without thinking.

Zhang Yandong was afraid that Shen Shixun would be stubborn and only wanted to figure things out himself, rather than talking to the Xiang family about it. So he made a special phone call to Xiang Nanzhi.

Once this matter was settled, Xiang Nanzhi would have settled everything. He couldn't bear to see his good brother leave the ancient city and return to the grasslands, isolated from the world.

The key is to look south.

Late at night, Xiang Nanzhi arrived at Zhang Yandong's residence, accompanied only by Ma Xiaorong.

Qin Yu had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another. He insisted that he knew nothing, but Zhang Yandong's offer was very tempting: "Your wife, Chen Moli, took the money abroad and won't care whether you live or die, but you and I can care about your life and death. I'll help you pay off your gambling debts, as long as you tell the truth."

Qin Yu didn't believe him, so Zhang Yandong revealed his identity, "If you still don't believe me, I'll take back what I said."

Why did you help me?

"I want you to tell the truth." He also wanted to stand up for his brother.

Qin Yu had no choice but to tell the truth.

He and Chen Moli got married very early, around fifteen or sixteen years old. In their hometown, there was no custom of getting a marriage certificate, so before officially registering their marriage, the two lived in the countryside for several years without a certificate, but they were considered a couple by everyone else.

Back in their hometown, Chen Moli gave birth to a daughter for Qin Yu. Later, when their daughter got a little older, the two discussed going to the city to work, and that's when they officially got their marriage certificate.

What was thought to be the beginning of happiness turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare.

Qin Yu and Chen Moli were both uneducated and had a hard time living in the city. They barely saved any money they earned and had to send the rest back to their hometown.

Later, Qin Yu started gambling through the introduction of a colleague.

At first, it was just to earn more money, but gambling can't always make money. If you can win, you'll always lose sometime.

Victory or defeat can happen in an instant. Qin Yu spent a month's salary in just half an hour. He was scared half to death and dared not touch it again.

After returning home, he apologized to Chen Moli, and Chen Moli forgave him.

The two worked themselves to the bone at honest jobs, but after six months they didn't see much money. Qin Yu was in a lot of pain and started thinking about taking a gamble again, just in case he won.

Thinking this way, he started doing it too, and won money right away. He felt he hadn't won enough, so he thought he'd win a couple more rounds before leaving. In the end, he lost everything, all the money he and Chen Moli had saved up for half a year...

Later, at the casino, someone gave him advice: what money can you make with a proper job? Why not do something that makes money quickly?

So she kindly invited Qin Yu to an entertainment venue and told him that the girls in front of him were just there to eat, drink, and have fun, and that some could earn thousands a day.

Qin Yu was eager to try it, and after returning home, he told Chen Moli the good news.

At that time, Chen Moli was just twenty years old and still a respectable woman. She absolutely refused to agree. Qin Yu persuaded her to do it for a few years and then stop. She could then go back to her hometown and live a good life with the money.
