"Please, please get up," Lin Siqi finally mustered the courage and said tremulously to the kneeling creditors.
Hearing Lin Siqi speak, the group finally stood up.
"Thank you, Sister Lin, for sparing us!"
"Sister Lin, you are magnanimous. Don't worry, we will never dare to appear before you again!"
"Sister Lin, if there's nothing else, we'll..."
Seeing the group about to leave after their outburst.
Lin Siqi, filled with confusion, couldn't hold back and asked in a soft voice, "What exactly is going on?"
This was also the confusion in the hearts of the surrounding classmates.
Then, the creditors exchanged glances, and one representative stepped forward – the one who had been slapping himself and had beaten his face into a pulp.
"Heh heh, Sister Lin, your friend has already paid off all the money. We won't dare to bother Sister Lin again."
"What? The money is all paid off? How is that possible?"
Lin Siqi was extremely astonished, marveling in disbelief, "That was usury, with interest and principal, at least six hundred thousand..."
The pig-headed creditor heard Lin Siqi's words clearly and immediately waved his hands repeatedly.
"Oh, no, no, no, without six hundred thousand, how would we dare to collect interest? It was just over twenty, hehe, anyway, it's all settled. Sister Lin, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore."
Lin Siqi was even more shocked. To have these people not collect interest, only the principal, was like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.
Who was the one who helped her? And with such means.
"Sister Lin, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first..."
"Wait a moment, I want to know who paid my debt." Lin Siqi bit her lower lip and stopped him. She was not someone who would owe favors without reason.
This debt must be repaid!
The pig-headed creditor smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, "Heh heh, Sister Lin, I don't know either. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Seeing that he said so, Lin Siqi knew that she wouldn't be able to find out.
The pig-headed creditor, seeing this, quickly signaled his group to leave the ward in a hurry, and then gently closed the ward door, appearing very cultured and polite.
But this left everyone in the room even more dumbfounded.
These people were like a gust of wind, coming and going swiftly, leaving them in a daze, their hearts filled with shock.
"Young Master Xu, this money, it wasn't you who paid it, was it?"
Suddenly, another voice emerged from the crowd.
In an instant, everyone was ignited, and they quickly crowded around Xu Yang.
"Young Master Xu, it must have been you. When we donated money before, you said your family knew those lending companies! You can't hide it from us!"
"Oh, Young Master Xu, you've truly opened my eyes, amazing! With one word, you made these ruffians kowtow at your door!"
"Haha, Young Master Xu, your act of doing good deeds without leaving a name is not a good habit!"
"Well, you don't understand. Young Master Xu is expressing his love for classmate Lin Siqi with practical actions! Oh, it's truly enviable!"
Xu Yang felt a sense of panic, as if he had transformed into Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, being forced to wear the imperial robe and become emperor.
"Heh heh, since no one is admitting it, I'll just take all the credit!"
Xu Yang looked back at Lin Siqi's gentle gaze, feeling incredibly pleased.
Soon, soon, after Lin Siqi recovered from her illness, this woman would be his! This was truly a gain without effort!
Amidst the crowd, Xu Yang transformed into a gentleman. He was no longer as lewdly trying to take advantage of Lin Siqi, and he even took out a fruit knife to peel an apple for her.
Meanwhile, Meng Xue, on the periphery of the crowd, sneered at this scene, "Hmph, what a bunch of idiots. Those debt collectors are not that easy to deal with. Don't they use their brains to think? Even if Xu Yang's family has some influence and can deter them, it's absolutely impossible for them to come to the door and beg for mercy!"
"The person who took action is more than one or two levels higher than Xu Yang... Ling Feng, I know it's you!"
Achoo!
At the same time, in another ward, Ling Feng sneezed without warning.
"Uncle, are you sick too?" Ling Xiaoran had woken up and was held in Ling Feng's arms. She reached out her small hand and tenderly stroked Ling Feng's face.
Ling Feng smiled and shook his head, "No, Uncle won't get sick. It's just that the smell in the hospital is a bit pungent..."
"Xiaoran, shall Uncle take you to see Grandpa Bai?"
"Okay, okay, Xiaoran wants to see Grandpa Bai."
Ling Xiaoran's condition was not serious, so she didn't need to be hospitalized. Ling Feng took Ling Xiaoran to visit Old Mr. Bai. Seeing that his condition had also improved, he then took Ling Xiaoran home with peace of mind.
Time flew to the evening. After dinner, Ling Xiaoran was coaxed to sleep by Ling Feng.
Turning around, Yang Fei approached him.
"What is it?" Ling Feng asked indifferently.
"Heavenly Venerate! It's Hu Deqiang from Tianlong Group. He's been lingering outside the door for a long time. I didn't dare to disturb you earlier as you were coaxing the young lady to sleep," Yang Fei replied respectfully.
This Hu Deqiang again?
This guy was truly persistent!
However, this also proved one thing: the person behind Hu Deqiang had enough capital to make Hu Deqiang so persistent.
"Bring him in."
Ling Feng uttered indifferently, then sat on the living room sofa, his gaze coldly fixed ahead.
He wanted to see what moves Hu Deqiang could play against him.
Soon, Hu Deqiang was brought in by Yang Fei.
Hu Deqiang, with his sharp appearance, saw Ling Feng sitting on the living room sofa with a nonchalant demeanor, and felt a surge of disdain in his heart.
"Pretentious brat, you made Mr. Hu wait for a long time!"
Although he muttered this in his heart, Hu Deqiang did not show any displeasure on his face.
Carrying the leather briefcase in his hand, he walked up to Ling Feng.
"Mr. Ling, hehe, I finally meet you. I am Hu Deqiang."
"If you have something to say, speak." Ling Feng didn't even bother to lift his head to face Hu Deqiang, let alone glance at him.
Being so contemptuously treated, Hu Deqiang's mouth twitched, and then, suppressing the anger in his heart, he directly placed the money box on the table.
"Alright, Mr. Ling is a straightforward person, and I, Hu Deqiang, will not beat around the bush! As long as Mr. Ling agrees not to continue investigating Ling Yan's matter, then this money will be yours!"
A smile played on Ling Feng's lips. He was amused by Hu Deqiang's ignorance.
Did he, the dignified King of Zhenbei, need money? How ridiculous!
Even more ridiculous was that Hu Deqiang, seeing Ling Feng smile, thought that the matter could be resolved and also started to smile, "Heh heh, Mr. Ling is young and promising, and also a wise person. I believe you know how to choose!"
