Then, Sheng Xiao ordered Jing Yun to prepare a few things for him. He went to the slums when the preparation was done.
Su Zipei was still persuading the man when he arrived. However, Sheng Xiao was not a patient man.
The bastard was still sitting on the chair with his hands and legs tied up when the door was pushed open. He was rather frightened when he saw Sheng Xiao appear in front of him.
"Young Master Sheng... How are you recently?"
"You're quite daring now. You won't even listen to me anymore." Sheng Xiao sat on a clean chair at the side. Then, he leaned back against the chair and spoke to him, "I heard that you asked for a million dollars."
Sheng Xiao had protected Mu Qiqi before. He was still protecting her now. The answer was quite obvious.
Sheng Xiao was putting both Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei under his wing.
So, he used up all of his courage and said to Sheng Xiao, "Young Master Sheng, you have Qiqi with you now. Do you think it's too much if I ask for a million dollars? It's just a small amount for you. Please be generous to me for once."
Sheng Xiao nodded his head when the man had finished talking. "Luckily, I am in a good mood today. I'll treat it as charity but I don't have a million dollars for you. I'll give you ten thousand dollars. Do you want that?"
The man wanted to ask for more but Sheng Xiao interrupted him directly. "If you want more, you might not even get a penny."
He knew that he could not afford to annoy Sheng Xiao. He just wanted the money. It seemed that he finally had found Sheng Xiao's weak spot. He could always come back and ask for more in the future.
"Fine. Ten thousand dollars it is."
After that, Jing Yun put the money in front of the man but Sheng Xiao had another condition. "Sign and promise never to come back to Sheng Jing!"
"No problem, given how generous you are."
"Sign the divorce settlement too!"
Jing Yun put the letter of guarantee in front of him together with the divorce settlement. Then, he freed the man.
That bastard was only thinking about the money. He did not even know what kind of letter he was signing.
Although he was rather displeased with signing the divorce settlement, he could always come back to ask for more money when he spent all of his money.
He put the money in his pocket after he was done. He even praised Sheng Xiao, "Young Master Sheng, thank you so much. You're really a rich man, giving me ten thousand dollars directly."
Su Zipei looked at the man who left smugly. She did not understand why Sheng Xiao had given him ten thousand dollars and allowed him that kind of freedom. "Young Master Sheng..."
"I didn't give him ten thousand dollars. He's the one who had signed for it. It's not even a guarantee letter but a loan receipt.
The interest rate and date of payment are clearly stated there. If he doesn't manage to take out a million dollars tomorrow morning, I don't know what the debt collectors would do to him. They might chop off his hands or legs." Sheng Xiao laughed softly. He was rather excited to see what would happen to him.
Su Zipei understood his action instantly.
"The debt collectors are generally stronger than the private detectives in looking for people. If he dares to stay in Jianchuan from now on...he needs to choose to pay the debt or be killed by them."
Moreover, the interest would grow bigger and bigger just like a snowball. Then, he would be unable to stay in Jianchuan anymore. If he dared to stay there still, Sheng Xiao's name could be read from the back.
"Then he..."
"He won't die, don't worry." Sheng Xiao left the small house after that. He knew what he was doing.
"Fine. I'm just afraid that you...for my sake and Qiqi's..."
