Chapter 29 - 28: The Difficult Debt
When Luo Yazhi opened her eyes, she realized Ye Fan was beside her.
At that moment, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
"What do you want?" Luo Yazhi responded coldly. A trace of panic was visible in her eyes; without a doubt, she had miscalculated this time, and Ye Fan had won.
Ye Fan said, "I haven’t even asked you anything, yet you’re already questioning me. Here in this quiet room, just a man and a woman alone... what do you think I’m going to do?"
Luo Yazhi immediately squeezed her eyes shut. She knew she would likely fall prey to Ye Fan this time, so she lost all hope of resisting.
However, after a while, nothing happened. She quickly opened her eyes and saw Ye Fan was close to her ear, saying, "Miss Luo, don’t be so scared. It was just a joke. I’m a true gentleman, hahaha!"
Ye Fan then untied the ropes binding her hands.
Luo Yazhi said coldly, "King of Heaven, I will surely repay today’s humiliation twofold another day."
Ye Fan immediately replied, "Very well! I’ll be waiting! Hahaha!"
Then he left, laughing uproariously.
Tears filled Luo Yazhi’s eyes. At that moment, she had the urge to tear Ye Fan into pieces, but she knew she had to endure for now. In any case, she had committed this debt to memory.
Ye Fan’s mood improved considerably. Teasing someone once in a while wasn’t a bad choice. Just like that, he had forgotten his earlier displeasure and now felt quite pleased with himself.
However, his conversation with Luo Yazhi put him on guard. It seems many factions know about my return to the Divine Land. Since it’s already known, there’s no need to hide it anymore. After all, I’m not afraid of anyone. That is the pride of the King of Heaven.
When Ye Fan returned to the company, Su Qingxue was coming downstairs. He immediately went to greet her.
"Where were you last night?" Su Qingxue asked.
"Well, I didn’t really go anywhere, just stayed in a hotel for the night!" he said awkwardly, unable to guess if Su Qingxue was pleased or angry.
Su Qingxue moved closer but didn’t smell any woman’s perfume, so she didn’t flare up. In truth, Ye Fan had been prepared and wouldn’t have let her discover a thing.
At that moment, Su Qingxue said, "Come with me to collect a debt!"
"Collect a debt?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes," Su Qingxue said. "Dongjiang Company owes our company a sum of money. They’ve been delaying payment over and over, and now they won’t even answer our calls. So, I plan to go there personally. We must recover this debt."
"Alright, leave it to me," Ye Fan said.
Gaining Su Qingxue’s forgiveness isn’t easy! I have to seize this opportunity, or I’ll really be homeless. For the great King of Heaven to be reduced to this state... this must be a first.
Upon arriving at Dongjiang Company, Su Qingxue said, "This is the place!"
Ye Fan took one look and sensed this company was trouble; they were surely planning to run off with Su Qingxue’s money.
The two walked up to the dilapidated building, finding the place sparsely populated and extremely dirty.
After some difficulty, they finally found the office. Once inside, they saw a few men and women playing mahjong on the first floor.
When they saw Ye Fan and Su Qingxue arrive, they stopped their game and asked, "What do you want?" Their greeting was far from polite.
"I am Su Qingxue, the head of the Su Family Business," Su Qingxue said. "I’m looking for your boss, Mr. Wang. He owes our company a huge sum of money and has been delaying payment. Now, he’s completely dropped off the radar."
"So, you’re here to collect a debt!" the Bald Man said, leering at Su Qingxue with a sly smile.
Ye Fan stepped in front of Su Qingxue and glared fiercely at the man. The man was instantly shocked by his powerful aura.
However, with their superior numbers, they weren’t too intimidated.
Disappointed, the women put their clothes back on. The Bald Man then said, "Wait here, I’ll go notify Mr. Wang!"
Su Qingxue found the atmosphere very distasteful. If Ye Fan hadn’t been there, she never would have come to such a place.
