Chapter 468: 464. Pulling Off a Big One (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Siyan was still thinking about Qian Li's situation when she received a call from her asking to borrow money again, and this time, she wanted to borrow five million.

Zhang Siyan fell silent for a moment and said, "I will transfer the money to you immediately. What exactly have you encountered over there?"

"Li Li, we are sisters, closer than biological sisters. If you encounter trouble, don't carry it alone; you must tell me."

"If I can't solve it, there is still my father. Do you still not trust my father?"

Upon hearing this, a warmth rose in Qian Li's heart, but after thinking it over, she still said, "Siyan, just this once. If it can't be resolved this time, I will go ask Zhang Shu for help. Once the matter is settled, I will tell you the details."

Zhang Siyan did not press further, only urging, "No matter what, your safety comes first. Money and such things are trivial matters, understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand," Qian Li said.

Not long after Qian Li hung up the phone, she received a bank transfer notification; the five million had already arrived.

Looking at the transfer notification, Qian Li said, "Look, the money has arrived. I'll gamble with them one more time tomorrow. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go ask Zhang Shu for help."

"Xiao Li, thank you," Wen Jing subconsciously grasped Qian Li's hand and said in a low voice.

Qian Li held Wen Jing's hand back and said, "It's nothing. This matter is still my fault. If I hadn't been so impulsive back then and gambled away your family heirloom, it wouldn't have come to this."

Wen Jing looked at Qian Li's tender gaze, a look of guilt appearing in his eyes.

They say that women in love are blind, and Qian Li currently belonged to that category. She was nearly thirty years old and had dated twice before, but neither had given her that feeling. After meeting Wen Jing, she fell directly into a whirlpool of love.

After speaking a few words with Wen Jing, most of the time was still spent with Qian Li comforting Wen Jing, telling him not to worry.

"Xiao Li, who is this Zhang Shu you mentioned?" Wen Jing asked, pretending to be curious.

Qian Li smiled and said, "Zhang Shu is extraordinary; he has great capabilities. All the money I have now is thanks to Zhang Shu's help."

As she spoke, Qian Li also revealed a proud expression, seemingly proud that she could have such an uncle.

Just when Wen Jing wanted to continue asking, Qian Li stopped talking, only saying, "You'll know when the time comes. After we go back this time, I'll take you to meet Zhang Shu. If you can gain Zhang Shu's approval, your future achievements will definitely not be low."

Looking at Qian Li's confident appearance, Wen Jing's heart couldn't help but jump, but he quickly smiled and said, "Alright, I will definitely meet Zhang Shu then. Alright, you should rest first; it's already very late."

"Mm, goodnight," Qian Li said gently.

"Goodnight!"

Wen Jing exited Qian Li's room and returned to his own. After checking once more, he opened his computer and logged into a chat interface. Soon, five people appeared on the screen, three men and two women.

"Wen Jing, how is it? Does the girl surnamed Qian have any suspicions? Can we continue?" A young man asked impatiently.

The others also looked at Wen Jing; they hadn't expected the fish they caught on a whim to be so wealthy.

Wen Jing's group specialized in this; they would play various roles to hook wealthy people.

Then they would take them to casinos or other similar places they collaborated with, make them lose money, and finally split the proceeds.

They had been doing this for seven or eight years and rarely failed. Even if they were occasionally seen through, it didn't matter.

Anyway, they hadn't actually committed a crime; after all, it was the person themselves who gambled, not them.

Wen Jing took a deep breath and said, "It's fine, she hasn't suspected anything yet. But why don't we just leave it at this? I see she has already borrowed money so many times. If this continues..."

"Tsk tsk, what? Are you feeling soft-hearted?" Liu Qi laughed; he was the young man who had spoken just now.

Wen Jing sighed, "Liu Qi, we have already gained a lot this time. There is no need to go on like this. If we continue, it will make Xiao Li go completely bankrupt."

"Heh, you're even calling her 'Xiao Li' now. You haven't actually fallen in love with this woman, have you?" one of the women said with a laugh.

Wen Jing fell silent. He didn't know what his current feelings were, but every time he saw Qian Li borrowing money just for his so-called family heirloom jade pendant, his sense of guilt rose immensely. This was something he had never experienced before.

People like them who toy with emotions are actually most afraid not of those who are calculating, but of those who are simple and straightforward. Qian Li was exactly that kind of person.

"You really fell in love with her? Wen Jing, don't forget who you are. Do you think she will appreciate you for this?"

"Heh, when she comes to her senses, she will probably hate you to the bone," the woman mocked.

Wen Jing didn't speak. He also knew that if Qian Li found out these were all his schemes, she would definitely never forgive him.

But he still felt a bit soft-hearted. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Qian Li has an uncle who is very powerful. I can tell that every time Qian Li mentions this Zhang Shu, she is very confident. Let's not end up in trouble. Why don't we just stop here? After all, if it turns out to be someone we can't afford to provoke, we're finished."

He was trying to use the Zhang Shu mentioned by Qian Li to scare off the greed of these people.

However, it was clearly in vain. "So what? We haven't broken the law. These were all their own choices. Even if they have great power, what can they do to us?"

"Even if that uncle of hers has heaven-defying abilities, at worst, we just won't return to Huaxia," Liu Qi said dismissively.

"Don't you feel this is going a bit too far?" Wen Jing was getting angry.

"Too far? Wen Jing, don't you..."

Seeing that they were about to argue, the leader, Fan Hong, spoke up, "Stop arguing. Wen Jing, didn't you say she has already borrowed the money? Just this once. After this one time, we pull out."

Seeing that the leader had spoken, no matter how unwilling Wen Jing was in his heart, he could only agree.

But after he hung up the communication, Fan Hong held another small meeting.

"Boss, Wen Jing is being too emotional. This is a big fish; we finally encountered one, we can't just give up like this," Liu Qi said anxiously.

Fan Hong signaled for him to calm down and said, "Don't be anxious. Since I promised Wen Jing it would be just this once, then it is settled."

Then, seeing that the others still wanted to speak, Fan Hong continued with a smile, "But how big this 'once' is, and how much money is gambled, that is not for us to decide."

"And think about it, this girl can take out so much money on a whim, and borrowing money seems to be just a word for her; there definitely won't be a shortage of money."
