Chapter 1828
The next morning, Chen Ping jogged in the park. His mood was light and cheerful, as if solving the Ning family's problems made him feel deeply satisfied. Suddenly, his phone rang; it was a call from Ning Chen. He answered, hearing only Ning Chen's excited voice: "Uncle Chen Ping, thank you! My mom and dad have reconciled!"
Chen Ping smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Ning Chen. I'm glad to hear the news. What are you planning to do today?"
"I want to invite Li Qingzhu to go out and celebrate together."
Ning Chen replied happily.
"Then remember to relax well and don't get too tired."
Chen Ping reminded him.
"Okay, I'll pay attention. Thank you, Uncle Chen Ping!"
Ning Chen thanked him again.
After hanging up, Chen Ping continued his jog. He felt extremely pleased, as if nothing in this world could block his good mood. He was grateful to have resolved the family conflict for the Ning family and also felt he had grown and progressed through the process. In the following days, the Ning family lived in harmony, and Ning Chen and Li Qingzhu spent a happy time together. Watching them, Chen Ping felt deeply gratified.
However, just during these peaceful days, Chen Ping suddenly received a call from a stranger. The voice on the other end sounded somewhat eerie and opened by asking, "Are you Chen Ping?"
Hearing the voice, Chen Ping felt uneasy but still replied, "Yes, I am Chen Ping. May I ask what you need?"
"I am Liu Yiyang's creditor. He owes me a lot of money, but he seems to have gone missing. I heard you are his relative; I hope you can help me recover his debt."
The voice on the other end said.
Chen Ping was startled; he never expected Liu Yiyang to owe so much money. He took a deep breath and asked, "How much does he owe you?"
"Not much, just five hundred thousand."
The voice on the other end said lightly.
Chen Ping's heart tightened; he simply didn't have that much money. He thought for a moment and said, "I will try my best to find him, but I'm not sure if I can help him repay the debt."
"If you don't help him repay the debt, we will come after you."
The voice on the other end threatened.
Chen Ping took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. He understood he couldn't be intimidated by these people, so he said, "I will try my best to find him, but please give me some time."
"Fine, I'll wait for your news."
The voice on the other end said.
After hanging up, Chen Ping felt extremely uneasy. He didn't know why Liu Yiyang owed so much money, but he didn't want to be entangled by these creditors. He decided to find Liu Yiyang first and ask him exactly what happened. At the same time, he prepared to ask Ning Chen and Li Qingzhu for help, hoping to receive their assistance.
……
On the other side, as soon as Chen Ping left the park, Ning Chen and Li Qingzhu walked out.
Both wore worried expressions, especially Ning Xuehong; her brow was filled with deep sorrow. She murmured, "Can Chen Ping really do it? He can't even come up with five hundred thousand."
"Mom, don't worry. I believe that with Uncle Chen Ping's ability, he will definitely repay this money. Besides, he is also a trustworthy person."
Ning Chen comforted his mother.
At this moment, Li Qingzhu suddenly remembered what Chen Ping had said to her last night, so she asked, "Xiao Qing, did you hear clearly what Chen Ping said to you last night?"
"Mm, I heard everything clearly. Mom, don't worry." Ning Chen nodded obediently.
Hearing her daughter's words, Li Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. She turned, took her wife's hand, and advised, "Xuehong, we have delayed too long; this matter must be handled early."
"Sigh, I know, husband." Ning Xuehong sighed and said helplessly.
……
Chen Ping drove straight to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
On the way, he dialed Zhang Hu's phone number.
"Hello? Brother Chen, do you need something from me?" Zhang Hu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I have something that needs your help." Chen Ping said directly.
Zhang Hu immediately said, "Brother Chen, just give orders if you need something; since we are brothers, don't be polite."
Chen Ping then told Zhang Hu about his desire to find Liu Yiyang. Zhang Hu patted his chest and promised that he would definitely find Liu Yiyang within three days.
Only then did Chen Ping feel relieved. After entrusting Zhang Hu with a few more instructions, he ended the call.
Shortly after, Chen Ping drove his car and parked at the entrance of the abandoned factory.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Hu came out to greet him. He warmly grasped Chen Ping's hands and said excitedly, "Brother Chen, you've worked hard these past days. I will definitely get this matter settled for you."
Chen Ping patted Zhang Hu's shoulder and said, "I appreciate your awareness. Recently, I need to accompany my friend on a trip, so I may not be able to handle this matter personally. You just proceed according to my instructions. I have already contacted a lawyer; the Daoshihou Society will take full responsibility for this matter then."
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Hu immediately declared, "Brother Chen, rest assured; I will handle it beautifully."
Chen Ping nodded, gave Zhang Hu a few more instructions, then turned and left.
He returned to the company and began pondering Liu Yiyang's situation. He didn't know why Liu Yiyang owed so much money; could he have encountered some difficulty?
