Chapter 469: 465. When in Trouble, Find Dad (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Siyan went to work as usual the next day; although she felt some worry for Qian Li in her heart, since Qian Li had said it was fine, she could only temporarily set those worries aside.

However, she did not go to Kangshilan today, but instead went to the company she and Qian Li owned to start handling some matters.

Qian Li had been gone for six days already, and some matters had indeed piled up.

"General Manager Zhang, these are the recent sales figures and the accounts; please take a look, and also here..." The employee began to report on the recent issues encountered.

After Zhang Siyan finished handling them one by one, she suddenly asked, "Are there any problems with the company's accounts recently?"

"No, there aren't. Would you like to check them, General Manager Zhang?" the employee asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Siyan felt relieved in her heart and said, "No need, I was just asking."

It was good that the accounts were fine; this indicated that Qian Li's situation was truly not very serious, or at the very least, she had not embezzled any of the company's public funds.

Zhang Siyan spent the day running back and forth; she spent the morning at the company handling matters Qian Li hadn't had time to deal with, and in the afternoon, she still had to go to Kangshilan for meetings and to handle affairs.

The busy day left Zhang Siyan very tired, and coupled with not knowing what exactly had happened to Qian Li, she was in no mood for anything, so she ate a little at Zhang Ran's place and prepared to go to sleep.

Yet at this moment, Qian Li was still in the casino, and it seemed she had already lost her mind from gambling.

Wen Jing watched the emotions of excitement, conflict, and others appear on Qian Li's face simultaneously, and he felt some anger in his heart.

He stared fixedly at Chai Gou, who was sitting in front of them, and at Fan Hong and the others who were seemingly accompanying them at the table.

"What are you trying to do?" Wen Jing took advantage of a moment when Qian Li wasn't paying attention to walk to Fan Hong's side and growl.

Fan Hong looked very innocent as he said, "What do you mean, what am I trying to do?"

"Why did you use such a heavy dose of drugs?" Wen Jing's chest heaved violently.

From the moment he entered, he had felt something was wrong; although casinos would burn some herbal incense that could slightly excite people, it basically wouldn't affect a person's subjective emotions.

But now, Qian Li had clearly been affected; he could maintain his composure because he knew about this, but Qian Li didn't know, so she had not a shred of defensive awareness in this regard.

"I don't know, go ask Gou Ge," Fan Hong said in a low voice.

"Xiao Li, we're not playing anymore, let's go." Wen Jing immediately grabbed Qian Li's hand, intending to leave.

Qian Li, however, was already completely trapped at this moment, her mind constantly filled with thoughts of turning the tables, winning money, and so on.

"I'm not leaving, it's fine, Wen Jing, I can definitely win." Qian Li refused to leave, still looking as if she firmly believed she could win.

"Ahem, this gentleman, please do not disturb the guest's enjoyment," Chai Gou said with a dry cough, a hint of threat in his eyes.

He hadn't expected such a big fish to come this time; in such a short amount of time, he had actually let her win so much.

Even when it came time to split the accounts, there would be a lot to go around, and besides...

At two o'clock in the morning, Qian Li finally became a bit clearer-headed, and the effects of the drug had worn off.

But at this moment, her face was deathly pale, because in front of her were many IOUs, totaling one hundred million!

In just one night, she had actually lost one hundred million!

Even now, Qian Li hadn't reacted; she couldn't even remember how she had lost it all.

Wen Jing's expression was also exceptionally ugly; he hadn't expected Fan Hong and these people to be so ruthless—one hundred million! Was this trying to take Qian Li's life?

"Miss Qian, please settle the account," Chai Gou said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Siyan was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by her phone ringing; she glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Qian Li calling. Looking at the time, Zhang Siyan suddenly woke up—calling her so late?

"Hello, Lili." Zhang Siyan hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hello, hello." But a strange man's voice came from the other end.

Zhang Siyan immediately asked, "Who are you? Where is Qian Li?"

"Don't be anxious, Miss. Miss Qian is doing very well here, it's just that she owes us some money and doesn't have the funds to pay it back, so we've let her rest for a moment." Chai Gou's voice carried a hint of a smile.

At this moment, Qian Li was looking at him with an angry face; her phone had been snatched by Chai Gou, and there were several casino security guards watching her from the side.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Siyan became anxious, "Don't you dare hurt Qian Li! How much money does she owe you? I'll pay it."

Chai Gou said with a chuckle, "We are a legitimate casino; we wouldn't do those kinds of things. Please rest assured about that, Miss."

Hearing this, Zhang Siyan felt slightly relieved and said, "Then how much money does she actually owe you?"

"One hundred million!" Chai Gou said airily.

When he said this, Fan Hong and the others on the side all looked at him eagerly; they hadn't expected to actually get this one hundred million, but being able to get a bit more was good too.

If nothing else, twenty million or ten million should be expected, right?

In truth, they hadn't expected to win so much in the end; at the time, they just wanted to make one last haul, but Chai Gou's ambition was too big—so big that it even made them feel a bit alarmed.

Zhang Siyan was also stunned. One hundred million?

"How much?" Zhang Siyan seemed not to have heard clearly.

"One hundred million. Miss, we have cameras here; no one forced Miss Qian when she borrowed the money, so please don't misunderstand." Chai Gou seemed to understand what Zhang Siyan was thinking and said with a chuckle.

Zhang Siyan took a deep breath and said, "Fine, I need to raise the money. Wait for me a moment, and also, don't hurt Qian Li."

Chai Gou was stunned upon hearing this—she wasn't even going to bargain? So straightforward?

"Of course I won't, please rest assured. I already said, we are a legitimate casino," Chai Gou said.

"I want to speak with Qian Li," Zhang Siyan said.

"Of course you can." Immediately, Chai Gou handed the phone to Qian Li.

When Qian Li received the phone, she hurriedly said, "Yanyan, I..."

"Lili, don't worry, it's fine. Don't be anxious at all, you must protect yourself," Zhang Siyan immediately urged with concern.

Qian Li was somewhat unable to speak, "I'm sorry..."

"No need to be sorry, we are sisters, it's fine. It will be over in a moment; I'm going to find my dad to get the money, don't worry," Zhang Siyan comforted her.

"Lili, don't feel bad either; this matter isn't big, your safety is what's most important. Remember, money is a small matter."

While speaking, she had already put on her clothes and started walking out; by the time she hung up the phone, she had already reached downstairs.

Unlike before, in the past, when Zhang Siyan encountered trouble, she basically had to shoulder it herself, and going to her older brother would only add to his troubles.

Now that she had encountered a thorny issue, the first person she thought of was her dad; this was her backing. With her dad there, Zhang Siyan felt an incomparably sufficient sense of confidence in her heart.

Seeking out her father when encountering trouble had already become an instinct for Zhang Siyan without her realizing it, and Zhang Ran was also very happy to see this.
