Mrs. Yu, with reddened eyes, stood up and said, "If you dare to harass us again, I... I’ll call the police!"
"Call the police? Feel free. Do you want me to help you make the call?"
He Jiang snorted, "Please, Auntie, get it straight. This is a civil dispute; there’s a formal contract, not a loan shark. What good is it going to do calling the police? President Qi, isn’t that right?"
Qi Kai, who was cowering in the crowd, felt compelled to smile and nodded at He Jiang.
"Yes, yes, Mr. He is always right..."
As Mrs. Yu was momentarily speechless, He Jiang’s expression suddenly turned cold, his gaze sweeping over everyone, especially Yu Duo.
"If you kill someone, you pay with your life; if you owe money, you pay it back. No one has ever dared to jump over He Jiang’s wall... I’ve given you chances, but you didn’t seize them, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Let me tell you, even if you can’t run today, even if you could escape, no matter where in the world you go, I have a hundred ways to make your life a living hell!"
Listening to He Jiang’s confident threats, Yu Fei also fell silent, and for a moment, the sense of helplessness even drowned out his resentment.
Because he knew, given He Jiang’s displayed status, such things were easy for him.
At this moment, Xu Wenqian, who had been listening for a while, looked at Yu Duo in shock and asked quietly, "Duoduo, what’s going on? Who is this person, and why is he pressing you so hard? Does your family owe them money?"
"No, my dad was deceived... He doesn’t know about this at all."
Yu Duo wiped her tears and quickly explained the situation, though her unease made it somewhat vague, but Xu Wenqian pieced together most of it from what she heard earlier.
Xu Wenqian’s face became serious as she immediately stood up, walked to the front of the crowd, and said to He Jiang:
"This... Mr. He, right? Yu Duo has told me roughly what happened, and I don’t believe they are necessarily obligated to pay you back!"
"And who are you?"
He Jiang raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Wenqian with interest.
Actually, he had noticed this beautiful woman earlier. Although there are many beauties in the world, encountering two exceptional ones at the same time is incredibly rare.
Her body was wrapped in a gray professional skirt suit from LV, highlighting her delicate and curvy figure. Her legs, encased in black stockings, were perfectly shaped, long and full, with no gap when closed. Just a glance, and any normal man’s mind might conjure all sorts of wild scenarios.
But what attracted He Jiang most was Xu Wenqian’s unique office lady charm, a blend of maturity and allure. If the setting were switched to an office, it would be overwhelmingly attractive...
From the first glance, He Jiang had wondered what kind of lucky day it was for him today—coming to a banquet without expectations, only to encounter an exceptional Loli and now a top-tier beauty.
But He Jiang noticed her expensive outfit, and combined with Xiao Wang’s noticeably stern demeanor, he dared not approach rashly. Yet, she had stepped forward voluntarily.
Alright then... He Jiang loved people who meddled in others’ business.
"I’m Yu Duo’s friend. You don’t need to know who I am. I just want to remind you that the loan agreement her father signed with you was without his knowledge, indicating possible fraud. The so-called debt you mention may not be valid..."
Under He Jiang’s unabashed scrutiny, Xu Wenqian furrowed her brows.
Fortunately, given her looks, she’s used to such gazes and remained calm, simply stating.
"Fraud?"
He Jiang laughed heartily, "Don’t be ridiculous, beautiful. We have a formal contract. Look, the other party is right here. Even if there’s fraud, it’s not my problem—it’s their internal dispute. Don’t think I don’t know the law. Even if this goes to court, the judge has to protect my legal rights..."
"Mr. He has a point... Miss, we’ve handled so many similar cases. If ’unknowing’ could absolve debt, why are there so many defaulters?"
Mr. Xu from Ginkgo Capital chuckled.
"Is that so?"
Despite the rebuttal, Xu Wenqian remained calm... months of experience had seen her transition far from a small bank clerk.
"Whether it’s fraud or default, it’s not up to you or me to decide; the law will determine it."
After speaking, Xu Wenqian turned to hold Yu Duo’s hand, "Duoduo, don’t worry, I’ll find the best lawyer to help you with this case... If necessary, I’ll talk to my boss. If he agrees to help, your current troubles should be just a minor issue."
"Such arrogance!"
He Jiang finally felt somewhat provoked, primarily due to Xu Wenqian’s overly composed demeanor, which made him feel a bit humiliated.
In Magic City, except for a few rare individuals, who would dare to boast in front of He Jiang?
He threw a glance at Elva, the executive director of the Waldorf Hotel, then sneered, "I don’t care where you came from, but if you insist on getting involved, I can only tell you, face the consequences yourself!"
"And as for the boss you mentioned, I want to see how he dares to make a peep in front of me, He Jiang!"
