"Yes, it's almost done," Luk forced himself to calm and answered.
Tina spontaneously moved up the corners of her mouth.
Her father was so efficient.
She must leave Birmingham when Oliver didn't notice anything.
As long as she reached Holland, she would be safe because it would be too late for Oliver to do anything to her.
"What about booking the plane tickets now?" Tina said.
"Tina, you know that I have spent a lot of my savings in order to arrange a house in Holland for you. The company meets some problems and needs some money, so could you lend me some?"
Tina was not a fool. Why did Luk borrow money from her?
Ever since she lent money to Jason and suffered a loss, Tina naturally did not dare to lend money to Luk easily.
Even if the person who borrowed the money was Luk, she had to figure out the reason why Luk needed to borrow money.
Tina didn't believe that Luk needed money for the turnover of corporate funds.
Jason had used this excuse before so it would never work again.
Tina interrupted him, "Dad, I have something urgent to do right now. I'll go to the Mose Clubhouse to see you tomorrow. Let's talk about it face to face."
Luk didn't want to say anything more to Tina in front of his creditors, and he also wanted to hang up the phone.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we meet."
Luk seized the chance and hung up the phone.
Then, he said to the two burly men in front of him, "You heard that the person who agree to lend me money happened to have some urgent affairs. I promise I will pay some of my debt tomorrow. I will not let you leave empty-handed."
They frisked Luk and found no money but his passport.
Luk could not leave the country without his passport, so they took Luk's passport.
"Well. Stop playing any more tricks on us." The man who took Luk's passport waved the passport in his hand, "I'll keep this for you. See you tomorrow."
They let Luk go.
After the two burly men left, Luk breathed a little more smoothly in the dark corner.
He tried to delay paying his debt as much as he could.
How should he spend the night? Luk just wanted time to stop lapsing.
He found it difficult and embarrassed to borrow money from Tina because she was his daughter.
He had never taken care of her, and his debts became a burden to her.|
Tina was looking forward to following him to Holland to live a peaceful life.
Luk didn't know what he could do and went back first.
"I can cross that bridge when I come to it," He could only comfort himself like this.
On the following day, Tina arrived at the Mose Clubhouse to meet Luk. They sat at a booth on the first floor.
They were talking when the two burly men Luk met yesterday went straight to the booth where they were.
Luk was so nervous that his face was trembling.
Tina was confused when she saw two strangers coming in.
However, they went straight to Luk. Obviously, they knew Luk.
Just as she was about to ask something, she heard two strange men call Luk Mr. Luk.
