Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Pure Jade Idol Is Not to Be Provoked 29

"There’s only a week deadline, once the week is over, there’s no way to get the person back, and by then, no amount of money can bring them back. Isn’t that why I’m so anxious? How could I come up with tens of millions?" Guan Mingqing cried.

Actually, over the years, thanks to Du Chen, she’s made quite a lot, over a hundred million.

But her expenses are high, buying this and that, and she lost quite a bit in investments. Currently, she can only come up with over ten million in cash. To scrape together twenty million, she would have to sell the house. She owns two houses, in prime locations, comfortable to live in, all of which she likes dearly and is unwilling to sell.

Ah Chen was surprised, "Tens of millions!"

"Yes." Guan Mingqing’s eyes were bloodshot, "Actually, I have a good relationship with my cousin. My aunt has cried till she fainted several times, which makes my heart ache. I’m also gathering money here, but it’s not enough."

"Sister Guan, just do your best." Ah Chen comforted briefly and said no more.

Based on what Guan Mingqing said, she made some guesses.

Guan Mingqing probably truly needs a sum of money, and it definitely isn’t to save the so-called cousin. The other party seemed anxious, with anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

She figured it out.

There’s a high possibility Xuan Yanrui caught something on Guan Mingqing and wants to extort a sum.

She wore a faint smile; Xuan Yanrui was now smashing the pot to pieces, extorting Guan Mingqing, and there was no reason he wouldn’t extort others connected to him.

Su Zihuan, Zhang Chaoming, and others entangled with him were probably not getting away.

Xuan Yanrui planned to make a fortune and live a wealthy life abroad, adapting quickly to the situation.

Seeing Ah Chen silent, Guan Mingqing felt irritation rise inside.

Du Chen truly was cunning, refusing to take the bait.

Since the other party wouldn’t speak, she brought it up herself. Twenty million was easy for Du Chen, not something significant. Over the years, Du Chen surely earned a lot, and her lifestyle wasn’t extravagant, likely saving a large sum.

"Xiao Chen, I want to borrow some money from you." Guan Mingqing awkwardly began, sighing, "I, as the older cousin, can’t just ignore the cousin."

"Doesn’t Sister Guan have two houses?" Ah Chen asked, "Either one is worth twenty million."

Guan Mingqing’s expression froze for a moment, then quickly said, "Selling a house isn’t that fast. Knowing I’m anxious, they’ll definitely drive the price down. My plan is to borrow from you first, and then repay once I sell the house."

"There’s no need for such hassle; Sister Guan can sell the house to me at market price, and we can start the process immediately."

Ah Chen added, "It’ll be very quick."

"Sister Guan, do you really have a cousin?" Ah Chen asked abruptly.

This startled Guan Mingqing, only to hear Ah Chen continue, "I suspect you’ve been gambling."

Guan Mingqing let out a breath, she was scared to death.

"This money, I won’t casually lend it. If you really did gamble, me lending you money is like providing a safety net, and without learning a lesson, you’d gamble again. Sister Guan, a word of advice, stay away from gambling. If you have, hurry to pay the debts, don’t expect anyone to cover for you; I won’t help a gambler pay debts, it’s a bottomless pit."

Guan Mingqing mumbled a few responses, not bringing it up again.

Annoyed, Du Chen really was tough to handle, like a stingy miser, not a cent could be obtained.

Forget it, she’ll sell one house.

If Xuan Yanrui releases those things, her career would be over.

Within a few days, Guan Mingqing sold the house.

Ah Chen asked whether the issue was resolved, and Guan Mingqing could only guarantee she wouldn’t gamble again, though she felt stifled. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She lost a significant sum, heart aching fiercely. Damn Xuan Yanrui and his ancestors!

Zhang Chaoming gritted his teeth and decided to still hand over the two hundred million, even wanting to kill Xuan Yanrui. But committing murder, he had never done that. Even so, he wasn’t clean himself and didn’t want any more trouble.

He contacted Du Chen, but Du Chen didn’t respond, leaving him fuming silently.

The people in this circle were something else, each one strong, no one to be trifled with.

Meanwhile, Su Zihuan encountered some issues. He first paid five million to Xuan Yanrui to stabilize him, saying the rest needed time. Su Zefang, noticing he was gathering funds, called him to his study, and he had to explain everything honestly.

"What an issue you’ve caused, caught by such a small-time character." After hearing it, Su Zefang almost fainted from anger.

Su Zihuan remained silent, not expecting Xuan Yanrui to have such audacity.

However, the other party was indeed at a dead-end, so going this far was expected, a barefooted person fearing nothing.

"Are you sure that after giving the money, he won’t bother again? I understand these types well, once he squanders the money, he might come looking again, a bottomless pit. He might not plan this now, but when things reach that point, human nature doesn’t withstand tests," Su Zefang said.

Su Zihuan frowned, "Then how to resolve it? We can’t just kill him, right? Nowadays, anything done leaves traces, not viable, it’d cause more trouble later. Besides, he prepared backup plans, better to just pay him off."

"Not quite to the extent of killing..." Su Zefang sighed, "Indeed, technology has advanced quickly, making things inconvenient."

"We can invite him over for a talk, have a proper discussion," Su Zefang added, "Let me show you this time, observe and learn, be more decisive when facing such situations in the future. Conduct yourself cleanly, don’t get cornered again."

"And that Du Chen, don’t provoke her for now, she’s well-known, many eyes are watching. Over time, opportunities will come. Everyone has weaknesses, don’t rush things."

Xuan Yanrui went downstairs to buy cigarettes and was suddenly pulled into a van. He tried to scream, but after a few struggles, there was no movement.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a closed room, filled with fear.

Before long, he saw Su Zihuan, but realized Su Zihuan wasn’t in charge, the one orchestrating things was this middle-aged man.

"I heard if you’re gone, lots of things will be released; I don’t believe it." Su Zefang sat in a chair, looking mysterious, "Even if there’s something, our Su family isn’t that scared, hiring a few skilled computer experts can keep an eye. Once you’re dealt with, they’d monitor online, anything suspicious would be immediately removed. Even if too late, it won’t be a fatal blow to the Su family. But you actually dared to extort Zihuan, feeling like you’ve lived too long?"

"Hand over the items, and perhaps your life can be spared." Su Zefang said lightly, appearing indeed unhurried, intimidating Xuan Yanrui.

Realizing Su Zefang truly wasn’t afraid, Xuan Yanrui panicked.

If they weren’t afraid, being caught by them meant his life or death was in their hands.

Xuan Yanrui wasn’t fearless, nor was he ready to die.

So frightened by Su Zefang, he wet his pants.

Su Zefang sneered, thinking he was a tough character, only to be spooked so easily, yet capable of manipulating Zihuan.

"Learn from this." He glanced disapprovingly at Su Zihuan, who felt uneasy, not expecting it to be so easy, if only he’d known...

The door banged open.

"Put your hands up!"

"Hands on head, squat down."
