Ba Yilan had already made it clear that the token was lent to Ling Feng and the others.
Yet, Ba Qingping opened his mouth demanding money and wanting to sell the item!
That was a family heirloom. If this item were sold, the Ba lineage would be completely gone, and the legacy of the Corpse Gu family would become history. This would be an absolute disgrace!
However, the thought of the item remaining in Ba Qingping's hands made Ba Yilan feel even more sorrowful; it was a humiliation!
Immediately, Ba Yilan, her pretty face flushed red, looked at Ling Feng.
"Brother Ling Feng, look..."
"Name your price!"
Before Ling Feng could speak, Lin Shuainan jumped out, acting as if he were wealthy and looking down on Ba Qingping with disdain.
Lin Shuainan's demeanor made it obvious that he was offering himself up to be fleeced.
Ling Feng shook his head and, before Ba Qingping could speak, stopped Lin Shuainan.
"Please, could you bring the item out for us to see?"
"No, that won't do. You have guns. If my father brings out the item, what if you snatch it from us?"
Ba Xinyue, thinking herself quite clever, jumped out and repeatedly shook her head.
Then, she quickly retreated, as if afraid Yang Fei would shoot her.
This petty behavior truly made everyone around them feel their tempers rising.
Yang Fei directly aimed his gun at Ba Xinyue and Ba Qingping.
"Even if you don't bring it out, can you stop me if I decide to shoot?"
"Ah! Don't, don't shoot! I, I'll go get it now!"
Ba Qingping waved his hands repeatedly, appearing extremely afraid of death, and then got up to go upstairs.
This time, no one stopped Ba Qingping. No one wanted to get shot!
Ba Xinyue, however, looked wronged and hid behind the sofa, pointing at Ba Yilan and crying.
"Boohoo, Ba Yilan, you ungrateful wretch! You actually brought people to our house to rob us! You jinx! Will you not be satisfied until you curse all of us to death!"
Ba Yilan's face turned extremely red, filled with shame and anger.
Yang Fei also felt a bit awkward. It seemed his attitude had been a bit too forceful. Although it was effective, he had overlooked that this was, after all, Ba Yilan's home.
The father and daughter opposite were also Ba Yilan's relatives. His actions were indeed a bit excessive.
"Shut your foul mouth. If you dare call my sister Yilan a jinx again, I'll turn you into a death star!"
Lin Shuainan jumped out again, shouting a reprimand, which scared Ba Xinyue into silence!
Thump, thump, thump!
Soon, hurried footsteps came down from upstairs. Ba Qingping ran down, clutching an ancient box in his hand.
He stumbled towards Ba Yilan, fearfully dodging the dark muzzle of Yang Fei's gun.
"Here, the item is here. Yilan, you can't be heartless. I'm your uncle, after all. Are you going to watch as our family's villa is taken away by others? This is the last of my belongings."
Looking at Ba Qingping's pitiful appearance, Ba Yilan couldn't help but soften a little.
Ba Xinyue, however, kept staring at Ba Yilan's expression. Seeing this, she immediately knelt on the ground. "Cousin Yilan, you can't just take the item for free! You're kicking us while we're down! You have to pay!"
"Hey, you dare to yelp again? Are you asking for a beating?"
Lin Shuainan shouted and moved to kick her.
"Brother Yi, no."
Ba Yilan quickly stopped him.
Then, she looked coldly at her uncle, Ba Qingping. "Uncle, name your price."
"This... thirty, thirty million!"
Ba Qingping stammered out the price.
Ba Yilan's beautiful eyes widened. Thirty million was clearly an outrageous demand.
However, the cost to acquire this item back then was more than thirty million. Ba Qingping didn't know its value, and if it were sold, it would fetch more than thirty million.
At this moment, Ling Feng noticed the creditors around them exchanging glances and deduced that this thirty million was likely for Ba Qingping's creditors.
"Alright, thirty million it is."
Ling Feng spoke, and everyone was stunned.
But no one objected. Lin Shuainan even took out a card and threw it to Ba Qingping.
"There's over thirty-five million in here. The excess is a reward from me, young master. Remember this, my sister Lan is your lucky star, not a jinx!"
"Th-thirty-five million? Wonderful! Thank you, boss. Oh, Yilan, you truly are our family's lucky star!"
Ba Qingping's expression immediately changed. Getting an extra five million for free was simply wonderful!
Ba Yilan completely ignored Ba Qingping's fawning face.
Ba Xinyue, on the ground, had eyes filled with jealousy. She was envious that Ba Yilan had managed to associate with a rich young master like Lin Shuainan.
"What are you looking at? Be careful, or I'll dig your eyeballs out!"
Lin Shuainan suddenly turned and reprimanded her.
Ba Xinyue immediately shrank her head in fear!
Rich people were indeed amazing. Rich people could be so fierce. No matter how sharp-tongued Ba Xinyue was, she dared not oppose the wealthy.
"Heh heh, Ba Qingping, you're lucky to have such a beautiful lucky star helping you! Come! Hand over the card?"
"Yes, hand over the money so we can leave directly!"
The creditors extended their hands one after another.
Ba Qingping was very reluctant but dared not resist, handing over the card.
The creditors professionally completed the card transaction. Finally, there were five million left in Ba Qingping's card. The creditors then left, circling around Ling Feng and his group.
"Phew, they're finally gone."
Ba Qingping breathed a sigh of relief and then turned around with a fawning smile.
"Yilan, quickly invite your friends to sit down. Oh, I'll go prepare a banquet to properly entertain your friends!"
"No need, we have other matters to attend to!"
Ba Yilan refused decisively, handed the token in her hand to Ling Feng, and was about to leave.
Ling Feng and his group naturally did not linger. Looking at the father and daughter pair made them feel disgusted.
But just then, several more people barged in from outside. However, these newcomers seemed to be bank staff.
"Ba Qingping, we hereby officially notify you that you have failed to repay the loan, which is three years overdue. As collateral for the loan, all three villas here, as well as the Ba ancestral home, have been seized by our bank. Please vacate the premises immediately!"
The person in the lead waved a piece of paper.
Ba Qingping was dumbfounded upon seeing this.
"Are you mistaken? I never mortgaged..."
Ba Qingping stopped mid-sentence, then suddenly came to his senses and looked back at Ba Xinyue, his eyes seeming capable of devouring her!
Ba Xinyue immediately cowered.
"Dad, don't look at me like that. I told you, we needed three hundred million. You insisted on thirty million. If we had three hundred million, we wouldn't have lost our house and ancestral home, and we would still have over a hundred million left."
"You scoundrel! I..."
Ba Qingping was filled with shame and anger. He cursed, then gasped, and the next moment collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown!
