Wu Xiutao cried and said that he owed someone a gambling debt and couldn't pay it back, so he was detained by someone. The other party gave him one day to collect the money, otherwise he would be killed.

"Brother, what is going on?"

Zhang Beixing also heard it clearly and was wondering: Didn't he just borrow money from me? Why did he still owe money to others? Could this phone call itself be a scam?

On the phone, Wu Xiutao kept urging Wu Xiujuan to transfer the money to him quickly, and vowed that this was the last time, and that if the money was paid back, he would quit gambling completely.

Wu Xiujuan didn't know whether she should believe him or not. After hesitating for a moment, she hung up the phone.

"Sister, please don't disbelieve me. This is a matter of life and death!"

But Wu Xiujuan quickly hung up the phone.

At this time, Wu Xiutao was with Fang An.

Fang An had just called his sister Fang Pingping, and his words were exactly the same as Wu Xiutao's. They both said that they were being controlled by someone and urgently needed to raise money to pay off their debts, and they would never gamble again.

"My sister should believe what I said. Does your sister believe it?" Fang An asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. I feel like she might not believe it, but no matter what, I still have to harass her over and over again."

Wu Xiujuan was at a loss at the moment and had to turn to Zhang Beixing for help.

Although she and Zhang Beixing were not familiar with each other, she inexplicably felt that Zhang Beixing was her support at this moment.

Zhang Beixing comforted her and told her not to worry, as the other party would definitely call again.

"I feel like my brother is lying to me, but what if it's true?"

Wu Xiujuan's mind was in a mess.

Zhang Beixing told her that when the other party called again, he would say that he would send someone to teach those who had detained him a lesson and ask them to release Wu Xiutao.

"But what should I do if he is not lying to me?" Wu Xiujuan was still worried.

"Okay, just listen to me first. Leave this matter to me." Zhang Beixing said firmly.

Zhu Xiaoling had already cursed Wu Xiutao in her heart.

This guy is such a jerk. He even cheated his own sister. It's totally unfair.

Sure enough, after a while, Wu Xiutao called again, still asking for money. Wu Xiujuan also followed Zhang Beixing's instructions.

"Sister, are you crazy? If you say that and irritate them, I'll be even more dead!"

"But what can I do? I have no money. You said before that you would not gamble anymore, but then what did you do?!"

"Sister, I really know I was wrong. This time it was really dangerous. If you don't have money, you can find a way to lend me some. I don't ask for much, just 100,000."

"It's only 100,000. I'm just an ordinary salesperson. Where can I get so much money for you? For those rich people, this may only be the cost of a meal, but for us, how can we have so much money!"

"Sister, I beg you, can you bear to see me suffer?"

At this moment, Wu Xiujuan seemed a little shaken. Seeing this, Zhang Beixing quickly signaled to her with his eyes that she must make her words final.

So Wu Xiujuan made up her mind and said, "I have no money anyway. It's useless if you don't tell me your address. I know a friend who is a boxer. Apart from this, I really have no other choice."

"Sister, if you don't lend me money, then you can wait for me to collect your body."

This time, it was Wu Xiutao who hung up the phone.

Wu Xiujuan was a little at a loss. She really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to listen to Zhang Beixing's words.

Zhang Beixing comforted her, "We can find his address through his cell phone location. I have a way to find him."

Zhang Beixing did this not only for his own 100,000 yuan, but also for the sake of his sister Wu Xiujuan.

"Really? Can you really know where my brother is?" Wu Xiujuan asked expectantly.

Zhang Beixing firmly believed that this method would work, and immediately started to check the location of the mobile phone.

After some searching, I finally found the result.

He specifically told Wu Xiujuan not to tell this secretly to his brother.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not tell him. I am willing to believe that what you said is true." Wu Xiujuan responded.

Afterwards, Zhang Beixing brought a few people to an ordinary residential area.

Zhang Beixing immediately went forward and knocked on the door.

At this time, Fang An and Wu Xiutao were in the room.

When Fang An opened the door and saw Zhang Beixing, they were both stunned.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Beixing asked hurriedly.

At this moment, Wu Xiutao also walked quickly to the door, wanting to see who was coming.

When he saw this, he was also stunned, wondering why Zhang Beixing was with his sister?
Wu Xiujuan rushed in and asked, "Didn't you say you were caught? What's going on?"

As she spoke, Wu Xiujuan reached out and grabbed Wu Xiutao's ear and twisted it.

"Sister, please let me go, what are you doing?"

"What do you think I do?"

Wu Xiujuan started crying as she spoke, but she felt a little relieved at the same time. As long as her brother was okay, that was enough.

Zhang Beixing looked at Fang An coldly and asked, "How did you get together? What did you do?"

"We are good friends and are just chatting here." Fang An replied.

The security guard was about to speak, but Zhu Xiaoling couldn't help but said, "Do you believe what you said?"

After hearing this, Fang An said nothing more.

Wu Xiujuan turned to Wu Xiutao and said, "Wu Xiutao, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

"Sister, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. We have been here all the time. We just lack money and want to invest in a big project." Wu Xiutao said.

"Don't lie to me. Did you two go gambling?" Wu Xiujuan asked.

Wu Xiutao's face suddenly turned red and he nodded.

Wu Xiujuan was so angry that she raised her hand and hit him: "How could you, a heartless person, do such a thing?"

"Sister, stop fighting. Can you tell me how you and Zhang Beixing knew each other?" Wu Xiutao asked.

"Don't change the subject. When can you change it?" Wu Xiujuan said angrily.

Zhang Beixing also understood at this time and said, "Okay, you borrowed my money to pay off your gambling debts."

"Zhang Beixing, I'm sorry to you, but I really had no choice at that time. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me. Besides, I have already paid back the 100,000 yuan." Wu Xiutao explained.

Fang An said at the side: "Wu Xiutao, tell them the truth."

Wu Xiutao's face turned very ugly.

Seeing this, Fang An told the truth.

They no longer owe anyone money.

This time he asked for money because he was thinking of taking another big gamble and winning back all the money he lost before.

But they are also afraid of losing too badly and not being able to bear the consequences, so they must have strong financial backing.

"Wu Xiutao, let me ask you, is what he said true?" Wu Xiujuan asked.

Wu Xiutao nodded helplessly.

"How could I have a brother like you!" Wu Xiujuan said, moving away from Wu Xiutao, squatting on the ground and crying. Except for Wu Xiujuan's crying, there was silence all around.

Zhu Xiaoling gently pulled Zhang Beixing's clothes and asked him what he was going to do next.

"Wu Xiutao, in this case, you must return the 100,000 yuan I lent you as soon as possible." Zhang Beixing said.

Wu Xiutao looked embarrassed and said, "Zhang Beixing, I know this is not good, but I have already used the money to pay off my gambling debts."

"I don't care. It's your own business. I must get the money back now." Zhang Beixing said firmly.

More importantly, Zhang Beixing felt that he had been deceived by Wu Xiutao, which was something he absolutely could not accept.

As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty. I helped him with good intentions, but the result was like this. Isn't this making me the one being taken advantage of?
Upon seeing this, Wu Xiujuan immediately stood up and said that she would pay back the money and could write a receipt to Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing immediately waved his hand and said, "Wu Xiutao must pay back the money himself, otherwise he will be spoiled."

Wu Xiutao quickly said: "I will pay you back, but not today."

"No, I want it today." Zhang Beixing was firm in his attitude. He decided not to indulge Wu Xiutao this time.

"I think Brother Zhang Beixing is right." Zhu Xiaoling agreed.

"But Zhang Beixing, I really don't have any money. Even if you force me to death, I can't take it out." Wu Xiutao said helplessly.

Moreover, the house they were staying in now was neither his nor Fang An’s, but belonged to a relative of Fang An.

So even if you want to mortgage, there is nothing to mortgage.

"From what you said, it seems like you're planning to just throw the jar into the ground and throw it away?" Zhang Beixing asked coldly.

Wu Xiutao looked miserable and said, "I don't want this to happen, but I really don't have the money to pay you back. I can apologize to you and admit that I cheated you."

In fact, Zhang Beixing had already helped Wu Xiutao think of a way to repay the money on the way here.

"I can give you a chance. Come with me to Lin Country now." Zhang Beixing said.

When Wu Xiutao and his sister heard this, they were both surprised and didn't understand what Zhang Beixing meant.

Zhang Beixing explained that he and Lin State's ruler Shui Wenrou were good friends.

He planned to let Wu Xiutao work in Lin Guo’s mine.

The salary there is very high, so Wu Xiutao can pay off his debts.

"I will only give you living expenses every month, and the rest of the money will be used to repay my debt in installments." Zhang Beixing said.

This would also isolate Wu Xiutao from the outside world, so he wouldn't have the chance to gamble.

The brother and sister were shocked when they heard Zhang Beixing's words. What should they do? And they also knew that working in the mine was very dangerous.

Although Wu Xiujuan was full of hatred for her brother, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him at the moment.

She quickly opened her mouth to plead for mercy.

At this moment, her heart was full of regret. She really shouldn't have listened to Zhang Beixing and followed him on this trip.

As a result, my brother was forced into such a passive situation.

"Comrade Wu Xiujuan, I hope you will stop spoiling your brother like this. I think this method is very good, you have to do as I say." Zhang Beixing said firmly.

Wu Xiutao felt that Zhang Beixing's idea was too vicious.

What if something unexpected happens while working in a mine?
He expressed his concerns.

Zhang Beixing said, "Everything depends on human effort. Of course, if you can find a similar high-paying job and pay me back, that's fine. But the question is, can you find it?"

Wu Xiutao naturally couldn't find it, but he still refused.

Zhang Beixing grabbed him by the collar and said viciously, "You have to agree whether you agree or not."

Zhang Beixing said that Wu Xiutao had cheated him when he asked him to borrow money, so no matter what he does now, Wu Xiutao has to bear it.

Wu Xiujuan cried even harder now.

Zhang Beixing pointed at her and said, "Look at what you have done to your sister."

Wu Xiutao thought to himself, how can you blame me for torturing her?

Isn’t all this caused by you, Zhang Beixing?

Ren Wushuang urged from the side: "Okay, make a decision quickly, it's getting late, and we have to hurry to Lin Country."

Although they planned to set off tomorrow, Ren Wushuang said this on purpose.

As Zhang Beixing spoke, he attacked Wu Xiutao and smashed many tea sets to pieces.

He had to put on a ferocious look, otherwise he would not be able to intimidate Wu Xiutao at all.

Wu Xiujuan was really scared now, and she advised her brother to agree to it quickly.

If the stalemate continues, my brother will be beaten to death by Zhang Beixing.

Wu Xiutao's face was filled with pain, and he complained, "Sister, it was you who brought Zhang Beixing in. You are simply inviting a wolf into the house."

When Zhang Beixing heard this, he raised his hand and slapped him several times.

"Try telling me again."

"Zhang Beixing, you are too cruel. We are classmates."

"Don't mention classmates to me. Since I'm your classmate, are you going to let me suffer like this?"

"I've already apologized to you, what else do you want?"

"I told you and pointed out a clear path for you, why didn't you agree?"

Fang An sighed and advised Wu Xiutao to agree quickly. Fortunately, he did not lend money to Wu Xiutao, otherwise he would have ended up in a miserable situation.

Wu Xiutao asked tentatively: "Zhang Beixing, since you can contact the people over there, can you take care of me and find me a better job?"

Zhang Beixing refused without even thinking about it.

What are you thinking? He needs to be punished.

He still wants to escape punishment, how can it be so easy?
Wu Xiutao's face turned very ugly.

Wu Xiujuan quickly winked at him, indicating that he should agree quickly and stop doing these weird things.

Otherwise, who knows what more severe punishment will come next.

"Okay, I agree." Although Wu Xiutao agreed verbally, his voice was weak.

Zhang Beixing said: "In this case, I will contact the ruler over there."

Wu Xiutao was stunned. It turned out that they hadn't contacted each other yet.

Seeing how confident Zhang Beixing sounded just now, I thought they had already made the contact.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he couldn't get in touch with them, or that they didn't need him.

This way I don't have to go to the mines.

Zhang Beixing dialed the number and said, "Shui Wenrou, I have something to trouble you with. Can you help me arrange someone to go to work?"

"Since you asked me to arrange someone, this person must be very important to you. However, it's fine for ordinary jobs, but it's definitely not possible to enter the state palace."

"Of course he won't be allowed into the state palace."

Then, Zhang Beixing explained the whole story. (End of this chapter)
