Chapter 107 IOU
No matter what, Zhou Ying is an arts soldier. If Lin Youqian really files a lawsuit in court, she will not even be able to maintain her dignity in the army.
In the future, if she is dismissed from the army as a deadbeat, she will be pointed at wherever she goes and will have difficulty taking a single step, let alone returning to the stage and returning to her acting career.
So, she had to bow her head and beg Lin Youqian.
"Ah Qian, please, give me another chance. I can pay you back. Can I write you an IOU and repay you on time?"
Lin Youqian stamped his feet, sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked down on his slaves like a king.
"Okay, write it down first and put your fingerprint on it. Then ask the person inside to be a guarantor, and I can give you some time."
At this moment, Zhou Ying's resentment turned into intense hatred. With every word she wrote, the hatred in her heart grew.
"Lin Youqian, just wait, I will make you pay the price one day."
Lin Youqian half-closed his eyes, shook the IOU in his hand, and spoke to the man in the inner room.
"Come out! Let me see what Miss Zhou's taste is like."
Zhao Yunliang hid behind the door tremblingly, not daring to open it.
Lin Youqian knew that he was from the army, so he yelled, "Get out of here! Are you waiting for me to come in and invite you out?"
The person inside came out trembling, his head tucked in almost to his neck. He called out in a trembling voice, "Master Pao!"
Lin Youqian never imagined that this person was Zhao Yunliang, his most trusted brother.
He wasn't angry about Zhao Yunliang and Zhou Ying being together. On the contrary, if Zhao Yunliang took the initiative to tell him that he liked Zhou Ying, he would definitely support him strongly, and would be willing to provide the greatest help, whether financially or in other ways.
And he actually conspired with Zhou Ying to betray me. First he stole the staff housing, then he stole my military uniform and fabricated a fake photo, causing misunderstanding and harm to Qiqi. This is absolutely intolerable.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, you have good taste. You're in a good mood today, too. This is the first time I've seen Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao so high-spirited."
Lin Youqian rarely addresses his subordinates by their full names or titles unless he is very angry.
Zhao Yunliang knew that he was doomed, but he didn't want to implicate Zhou Ying, so he took the responsibility on himself.
"Master Pao, Yingying is not to blame for this. I was blinded by lust and had dirty thoughts. After getting drunk, I forced her to have sex with me."
"A man should take responsibility for his own actions. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Please let Yingying go."
Lin Youqian sneered. "The dirty things between you and her have nothing to do with me, and you don't have to explain it to me."
"Now, I'm not planning on doing anything to her. I just want her to pay back the money. Paying back a debt is only natural. Why, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, do you think I did something wrong?"
Zhao Yunliang fell to his knees in front of Lin Youqian and begged him.
"Master Pao, I'll pay back Yingying's debt. This IOU is mine. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore."
Lin Youqian couldn't help but clap his hands. "It's true that the man is in love and the woman is willing, what a pair of star-crossed lovers. This opera is well sung, I love it!"
"Since Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao is so wealthy, please transfer the money over now. I need it urgently."
Zhao Yunliang was choked with speech.
Although he was a mid-level military officer, his monthly salary was only over 20,000 yuan. How could he possibly come up with over 4 million yuan at once?
"Master Pao, can you give me some time to pay in installments?"
Lin Youqian calculated it for him calmly. "Based on Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's monthly salary, even if he pays back 20,000 yuan a month, that's 240,000 yuan a year. That's 2.4 million yuan over ten years. Including interest, it'll take 20 years to pay off 4.7 million yuan."
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, with such a long repayment period, who are you trying to outlast?"
Lin Youqian wasn't short of money, nor was he a petty person. Since he didn't care about Zhou Ying being with him, he must have had other reasons for doing this.
Zhao Yunliang suddenly realized something and asked tentatively.
"Master Pao, Yingying and I did something wrong, and we sincerely apologize to you. Please tell me what you want us to do in order to forgive us."
Lin Youqian negotiated with these two idiots for a long time and finally waited for these words.
"I want both of you to kneel down and kowtow to Qiqi in person to apologize. And explain the origins of those photos. As long as Qiqi stops being angry, that IOU will be canceled."
"If Qiqi refuses to forgive, you two will spend the rest of your lives repaying your debt!"
Lin Youqian's forgiveness didn't mean forgiving the couple, but rather asking Qiqi to reconcile with him.
Now, all he could do was to clear up these misunderstandings and obstacles first, and then try to win back her heart little by little.
Zhao Yunliang readily agreed. "Okay, I'll explain to Miss Qi that those photos have nothing to do with you, Master Pao."
Lin Youqian corrected him. "It's not Miss Qi, it's Mrs. Lin."
Seeing Lin Youqian defending Qi Xu so much, Zhou Ying's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred, and she was both unwilling and jealous.
"I'm not going. Why should I apologize to her? You want me to kneel down to that little bitch? Don't even think about it! My boyfriend and I can have fun however we want. If she misunderstands, it's none of my business!"
"Those photos didn't indicate that the man's name was Lin Youqian. I never told her that the man was you."
"So, even if you sue me, I'm not afraid."
Lin Youqian raised his eyes slightly, his gaze seemed to come from the top of a frozen mountain thousands of miles away, cold and ruthless, making people shudder.
Compared to the psychological trauma Qi Xu suffered and the pain and suffering she endured during those days, kneeling was the lightest punishment. Since she was stubborn and unrepentant, she shouldn't blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Okay, very good. Zhou Ying, if you don't apologize to Qiqi, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
Zhao Yunliang quickly pulled Zhou Ying aside, signaling her to calm down. After all, the man before him had methods that were absolutely appalling, whether in the army or in the outside world, once he got angry.
"Yingying, what nonsense are you talking about? Just explain it to Mrs. Lin. It won't take long."
Zhou Ying remained standing there, unmoved. Zhao Yunliang whispered two words in her ear.
"IOU!"
Zhou Ying was now extremely poor. If she was forced to pay off her debts again, it would be the end of her life.
I could only grit my teeth and give in. "Okay! When?"
"Now!"
Of course Lin Youqian wanted it to happen as quickly as possible, and he couldn't wait to clear up the misunderstanding, let the little woman return to his arms, kiss her, and pamper her.
Lin Youqian rushed to the hospital with Zhao Yunliang and Zhou Ying, but Qi Xu was not there.
The doctors said she had resigned and had not come to work for two consecutive days. They did not know where she was living.
Lin Youqian called the dean's office and asked Dean Feng, "Old Feng, where is my wife?"
Dean Feng felt weak after receiving his call. "Your wife resigned. She's been accepted into the graduate program at Medical University A. She said she'll be moving to City A for the spring semester."
There was still a month until the spring semester started, and Lin Youqian was asking about the present. "I mean, where is she now?"
The director of a division-level military hospital, who was nearly sixty years old, was yelled at by a young officer who was not yet thirty years old. Dean Feng was also angry.
"Your wife is missing, why are you asking me? Go find her yourself!"
"She's no longer a doctor at our military hospital. Stop causing trouble here every day!"
