The door was kicked loudly. Zheng Jing had no choice but to open the door. Looking at the several debt collectors gathered outside, Zheng Jing was full of anger, but she couldn't let it out. As Xue Jinbao said just now, she was the one who owed money, so she was in the wrong first.
"Zheng Jing, leave the matter to me later. Don't say anything more." Xue Jinbao said.
"Jinbao, I know you mean well, but I really can't let you help me pay the debt anymore." Zheng Jing shook her head firmly.
"Zheng Jing, I think you'd better let Jinbao handle it. Just take it as the money you borrowed from him. Otherwise, it's not a solution to let these people keep making trouble. Even if you drive them away tonight, they may come again tomorrow, and your house won't be peaceful." Chen Xing said.
As the door opened, Chen Xing's words were drowned out by the noise of the people who came in, but Zheng Jing still heard Chen Xing's words clearly. Looking at the several people who came to collect the debt aggressively, Zheng Jing gritted her teeth, and her heart was shaken.
"Zheng Jing owes you a lot of money. I won't give you any less. Be quiet." Xue Jinbao snorted coldly.
Zheng Jing wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Sun Yunlu. "Zheng Jing, let Jinbao handle it."
Sun Yunlu knew that Xue Jinbao's family was not short of money, and she didn't want Zheng Jing to suffer these harassment and torture anymore. At this moment, she also supported Xue Jinbao to handle it.
Zheng Jing smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say. Seeing that her parents-in-law had come out of the room, Zheng Jing hurriedly walked over.
The next thing became particularly simple. Xue Jinbao asked several debt collectors to take out the IOUs one by one. After confirming with Zheng Jing that there were no mistakes, Xue Jinbao wrote several checks in a row. When he sent the last person away, Xue Jinbao couldn't help but grin. In the blink of an eye, he had spent more than 10 million yuan. The price of this dinner tonight was really high.
Thinking of this, Xue Jinbao also joked. "Zheng Jing, it costs 10 to 20 million yuan to come to your house for dinner tonight. You have to cook something delicious to entertain us later.
Jinbao, I'm really … really sorry. " Zheng Jing smiled bitterly.
Jinbao was a local tycoon. He didn't care about this little money. Zheng Jing, I think you should hurry up and cook noodles for us. We are really hungry. Chen Xing interrupted with a smile.
Okay, I'll go cook the noodles first. Zheng Jing nodded her head and didn't say any more pretentious words. She knew that she owed Xue Jinbao a huge debt. Instead of saying more words of gratitude, she might as well return all the money in the future. That was better than any words of gratitude. Even if Xue Jinbao didn't care about the money, she still had to return it. This was a principle and integrity of a person.
"Zheng Jing, I'll go and help you. It'll be faster that way. Otherwise, these two men will really be starving." Sun Yunlu glanced at Chen Xing and Xue Jinbao and joked with a smile.
The two women went into the kitchen to busy themselves. Only Chen Xing and Xue Jinbao were left in the living room. Xue Jinbao, who hadn't had a good talk with Chen Xing alone, went to Chen Xing with a face full of gossip. Chen Xing, did you catch someone and start investigating? Otherwise, why did you go straight to Yun Tian as soon as you arrived in Beiqing Province?
Don't make wild guesses if there's nothing. Chen Xing glanced at Xue Jinbao and scolded with a smile. "Since when did you become so curious?"
"It's normal to be curious. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I not be curious about your mysterious inspection team?" Xue Jinbao smiled. "Besides, don't ordinary people like to gossip about the affairs of your officialdom?"
"Come on, are you an ordinary person?" "I think you belong to the rich and powerful." Chen Xing twitched his mouth.
"Hey, Chen Xing, you're discriminating against the rich. You're obviously putting a label on me. I protest." Xue Jinbao pretended to be serious.
The two of them chatted in the living room. Not long after, Sun Yunlu came out of the kitchen. The noodles were already in the pot. This kind of instant food cooked very quickly. Sun Yunlu had already called Chen Xing and Xue Jinbao to wash their hands and eat.
When the few of them were preparing for dinner upstairs, a red Jaguar was quietly parked by the road outside the neighborhood. The debt collectors who had just come out from Zheng Jing's house said something to the people in the Jaguar and left one after another. There were only two people left in the car. The driver's seat was a man who looked less than 30 years old, and the person in the passenger seat was none other than Yang Long.
"Young Master Li, I was right, right? That Zheng Jing really found a rich backer. Will her husband's case really be overturned?" Yang Long looked at the man in the driver's seat. He was the son of District Chief Li. He didn't expect that after calling District Chief Li, District Chief Li's son would actually come personally. However, after thinking about it, it wasn't strange. Zheng Jing's husband's case was really related to this Young Master Li. It was no wonder that he would come personally to understand. Although he said that he happened to be nearby and came along, Yang Long knew that he was actually more anxious than anyone else.
"Want to overturn the case? Dream on. " The man sneered. "Zheng Jing, that crazy woman, goes to the city every day to cause trouble. Is there any use in looking at her?
Of course it's useless. Who do you think you are, Young Master Li? " Yang Long smiled ingratiatingly. Then, he asked in confusion, "Young Master Li, why did you allow Zheng Jing to go to the city to cause trouble? It's better to be safe than sorry. What if she really attracted the attention of the city leaders?"
"Hmph, I just let her go cause trouble because I'm confident that there won't be any problems." The man grinned. Originally, he planned to let her go cause trouble for a while and then find an excuse to send her to the mental hospital. He didn't expect this crazy woman to find a rich backer. It seemed that he had to be careful. In this day and age, money makes the world go round. He had to find out the background of the person who helped her pay.
The man spoke to himself, but Yang Long didn't pay attention to the latter part of his words. When he heard that Zheng Jing was going to be sent to the mental hospital, Yang Long took a deep breath and quietly glanced at the young man beside him. Yang Long secretly felt a chill in his heart. "This young man is really ruthless!"
"Yang Long, go find some people. When they come out later, listen to me and take action." The man suddenly said.
"Young … Young Master Li, what do you want to do?" Yang Long was startled.
"Nothing much. I just want to find out the background of the people around Zheng Jing." The man's face darkened. The reason why Zheng Jing's husband was sent to prison was actually because of a dispute between him and the other party. To put it bluntly, it was related to money. The other party didn't cooperate, so he could only play dirty. Otherwise, his relationship with Zheng Jing's husband was actually very good.
"Young Master Li, you can't act recklessly. Shouldn't you ask for your father's opinion first?" Yang Long's face was bitter. At this moment, he wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to be so meddlesome just now? If he hadn't called District Mayor Li, nothing would have happened. Now, he had really shot himself in the foot. He wanted to curry favor with District Mayor Li's family, but now he was involved in muddy water. If this Young Master Li, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, really acted recklessly, he would also be implicated.
