Hong Kong Variety Show: Me, the Traffic Enforcement and Control Team?

Isn't it Ye Zimei and Zhang Baizhi?

Moreover, it's the younger versions of the two.

Ye Zimei looked to be in her early twenties, while Zhang Baizhi looked even younger, only seventeen or eighteen.

of course!

Considering it's a Hong Kong variety show, Lin Zhengyi is certain that these two are characters from a movie or TV series.

But there was one thing that puzzled Lin Zhengyi!

Why did the two of them run away together?

He didn't recall making any movies with the two of them together!

There's no reason for the two of them to run away together!

"Could it be... something I just haven't seen?" This thought flashed through Lin Zhengyi's mind, but he didn't pursue it further at that moment.

Now is not the time to investigate.

The most important thing right now is to rescue them!

Otherwise, if they had come any later, the two of them might have gotten beaten up.

Immediately!

He stepped forward, stopped the two men, and said, "You two stay behind me, and I'll handle the rest!"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in the eyes of the two men, and they then appeared terrified and panicked, not understanding what was happening, and instinctively hid behind Lin Zhengyi.

And this time.

The men who were chasing them have also caught up with them!

"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

One of the men, a bearded man who seemed to be the leader, spoke to Lin Zhengyi in a deep voice.

"So what if I'm going to meddle in other people's business today?" Lin Zhengyi raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile.

"Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Fine, then pay back the money these two sisters owe us, and that will do!" the bearded man sneered.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi was taken aback.

This feeling.

Something's not right here!

Judging from their ferocious appearance, shouldn't they have just come up and attacked them, or said something like "How dare you meddle in my business?" before attacking them?

How come you turn around and ask him to pay off their debts? So amicable!

Thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi quickly came to his senses.

"You owe him money!?"

He turned to the two women behind him, whose faces were filled with fear and panic, and asked them.

"Ok!"

Ye Zimei nodded nervously, then immediately shook her head.

"What's going on?" Lin Zhengyi asked, frowning.

"It's not that we owe money, it's that my dad was a gambling addict. When he ran out of money, he would borrow from them and owed them hundreds of thousands. Later, he accidentally fell down the stairs and died because he was drunk. These people couldn't find him, so they came looking for us!" The woman who looked exactly like Ye Zimei explained pitifully.

"And what about your mother?"

Lin Zhengyi asked subconsciously.

"Our mother is paralyzed and bedridden, and she needs us sisters to take care of her every day!"

After saying something pitifully again, the woman who looked remarkably like Ye Zimei pulled a girl who looked remarkably like Zhang Baizhi next to her and said, "My sister is also in school, and I'm the only one in the family who earns money."

“But because I owed too much money, these people kept coming to my door. The bosses were afraid of getting into trouble and dared not hire me for a long time, so I could only do odd jobs to make money.”

"Today I went to work as a temporary hostess at a nearby hotel and happened to run into them, and as a result, they followed me all the way here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi suddenly realized what was happening.

But the next second!

He felt something was off again.

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized what was going on.

This is just a repeat of what those masseuses at foot massage parlors often say: "The father gambles, the mother is sick, and the younger brother is in school."

It's just that instead of the younger brother going to school, the younger sister is going to school!

This incident.

Is there any problem?

Such a thought flashed through Lin Zhengyi's mind.

no way!

What Ye Zimei said sounds too much like a lie.

It's almost exactly the same line that technicians use to talk to people.

This time!

"Hey, have you thought it through? Are you going to pay or not? If not, get out of my way and stop blocking my way!" the bearded man shouted.

Hear this!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhengyi asked, "How much?"

"One million!" the bearded man said without hesitation.

"Their father only owes a few hundred thousand, and you want a million?" Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but ask.

“Several hundred thousand, hehe, eight hundred and one thousand is still several hundred thousand! His father owes us eight hundred and one thousand, and it's been a year already. It's not unreasonable for us to charge a little over twenty-three percent interest, is it?” the bearded man sneered.

Interest rate of a little over 23%?

Hearing this, Lin Zhengyi was stunned once again.

According to Hong Kong law, an annual interest rate exceeding 60 percent is illegal, exceeding 48 percent is considered extortion, and rates exceeding 24 percent are not protected by law.

Twenty-three percent is clearly within the limit protected by law.

This is actually quite reasonable!

A moment!

Lin Zhengyi felt even more strongly that something was wrong.

Otherwise, how could it be controlled so perfectly?

You should know that illegal loans always want to charge as much interest as possible. Let alone nearly 24%, illegal loans should charge at least 50% or more, right?

And what about the legal ones? Which legal one would lend money to a gambling addict?

Aren't you afraid that if the other party gambles it all away and can't pay it back, it will become a bad debt?

Even if you really want to lend money, shouldn't the other party provide some kind of collateral?

A car, a house, anything is fine!

Judging from the two sisters' escape, if they had collateral, why would these people have chased after them?

Why not just go back to court, sue them, seize their collateral, auction it off, and then repay the loan?

Why chase after two women for money?

At this moment, a woman who looked similar to Ye Zimei and a woman who looked like a blank sheet of paper looked at Lin Zhengyi with pitiful expressions, as if hoping that he would take pity on them and pay off their debts.

Seeing this, Lin Zhengyi narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and said, "Alright, I'll pay for them!"

Under normal circumstances, Lin Zhengyi would never help them repay such a normal loan unless the other party was willing to give something in return!

After all, he's not a sucker; he can't just pay back money every time a woman asks him to, can he?

Even if she's pretty, it won't work!

but!

There's clearly something wrong with these two.

This only piqued Lin Zhengyi's curiosity; he wanted to see what these two were up to.

So he chose to help the two pay off their debts.

We're going to follow their line of thinking and see what happens.

then!

"Give!"

He simply took out a check, wrote down one million, tore it off, and handed it to the bearded man, saying, "One million, is that alright?"

"no problem!"

After glancing at it, the bearded man smiled and said, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he prepared to leave with his underlings.

"and many more!"

Seeing this, Lin Zhengyi called out to them.

"what happened?"

The bearded man turned his head and frowned.

"Have you forgotten something?" Lin Zhengyi asked, reaching out his hand.

Seeing this, the bearded man was stunned for a moment before saying, "What?"

“An IOU!” Lin Zhengyi said seriously.

The bearded man then realized what was happening and said, "An IOU, right? Okay, here you go!"
