Chapter 470: 466. Seems Like I've Gotten Into Big Trouble (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Zhang Ran was still in his sleep when he was awakened by intense knocking at the door, but when he got up to open it, he found that Liu Lu had already gotten up and opened the door.
"Siyan, it's so late, did something happen?" Zhang Ran was stunned the moment he saw Zhang Siyan.
At this moment, Zhang Siyan's face was full of anxiety, which made Zhang Ran's heart skip a beat; what could have happened?
"Dad, Xiao Li is in trouble," Zhang Siyan said hurriedly.
Zhang Ran signaled for her not to be anxious and said, "What trouble? Don't worry, tell me clearly what happened."
Zhang Siyan said, "I don't know the specifics too well either. For the past few days, Xiao Li has been borrowing money from me, and she has already borrowed nearly ten million. Today, she seems to have lost another hundred million at a casino in Macau. They called me asking for the money. Dad, you must help Xiao Li."
Zhang Ran was somewhat stunned upon hearing this, and Liu Lu was so surprised she couldn't speak. Could Qian Li really owe that much money?
In her impression, Qian Li wasn't that kind of person.
"It's fine, it's just a small matter, don't worry. Is Xiao Li safe right now?" Zhang Ran asked with concern.
Hearing her father's words, Zhang Siyan calmed down a little, "She was fine when I spoke to her on the phone just now."
"Call them back, I'll have a word with them. It's fine, don't be too anxious. It's just a hundred million, a small matter," Zhang Ran said in a relaxed tone.
Seeing her father's relaxed and composed expression, Zhang Siyan finally felt at ease. Looking at her father, the sense of security in her heart reached an unprecedented level.
"Hello, is there anything else?" The call was still being answered by Chai Gou. It hadn't even been three minutes since Zhang Siyan hung up, and he thought Zhang Siyan had something else to say.
Zhang Siyan hurriedly said, "I have gathered the money, let the person go."
"Huh?" Now it was Chai Gou's turn to be stunned. Gathered it?
Does your family run a bank?
No, even if they ran a bank, they wouldn't be able to gather it this quickly, right?
"What did you say?" Chai Gou asked subconsciously.
However, at this moment, a man's voice came through the phone; it was Zhang Ran. Zhang Siyan had put the phone on speaker.
"We have prepared the money. How do we pay? Can you guarantee the person's safety?" Zhang Ran said.
"Sir, we are a legitimate establishment. What are you thinking?" Chai Gou said.
"Fine, since it's legitimate, give me an account number and I will transfer the money to you now," Zhang Ran said noncommittally.
At this moment, he didn't care whether it was legitimate or not; he just had to ensure Qian Li's safety first.
As for the money?
If the hundred million was truly lost by Qian Li herself, then Zhang Ran was willing to pay for it, but if it wasn't...
Heh!
Did they think the Zhang Family's money was so easy to take?
"Zhang Shu, I'm sorry!" This was Qian Li's voice. At this moment, the other side was also on speaker, and Fan Hong and the others were watching eagerly on the side.
However, Fan Hong and the others were not as happy as they had imagined, because they felt they seemed to have gotten into big trouble.
Giving away a hundred million just like that—what kind of family is this?
Could they really get this money into their hands?
Even if they got it, could they spend it safely?
Chai Gou was also feeling a bit guilty, but he had a big backer, so he wasn't too anxious. His backer was very protective, and he hadn't forced Qian Li to gamble.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ran heard Qian Li's words and said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Li, don't worry, it's fine, it's a small matter."
"I'm sorry." Qian Li seemed to only be able to say this one sentence at the moment.
"You child, why are you being so polite with Zhang Shu? It's just a little pocket money, consider it money spent to buy a lesson. This money is worth it," Zhang Ran said easily.
But the more he acted like this, the more uneasy Fan Hong and the others felt. A hundred million is pocket money?
And spending a hundred million to buy a lesson is worth it?
"Friends, I can pay the money immediately, but I need my friend to go and pick up Xiao Li, is that okay?" Zhang Ran said in a tone of negotiation.
Chai Gou thought for a moment and said, "Of course, no problem."
"Alright, I will call my friend now and have him go pick up Xiao Li, and by the way, bring the money to you, how about that?" At this point, Zhang Ran stopped talking about transferring the money into an account.
Chai Gou also sensed Zhang Ran's intention, thought about it, and probed, "Sir, why don't you just transfer the money over first?"
He had only intended to probe to see if Zhang Ran was playing any tricks.
Who knew that as soon as those words left his mouth, Zhang Ran immediately said, "Fine, give me the account number, I will transfer the money immediately."
When it came down to it, Qian Li was still in their hands, and Zhang Ran had to ensure Qian Li's safety first.
As for their so-called legitimate casino?
Zhang Ran would not believe it until he saw that Qian Li was safe, and even if it were true, he wouldn't believe it.
Chai Gou thought for a moment and gave the account number. After Zhang Ran wrote it down, he said, "Give me three minutes."
He didn't hang up the phone. Zhang Ran called the bank directly. He had a dedicated 24-hour customer service line. A hundred million, while a large sum, was nothing to Zhang Ran.
In three minutes, Chai Gou received the notification that the money had arrived. His expression at this moment was truly remarkable.
"Has the money arrived?" Zhang Ran asked.
"Sir, the money has arrived. That, well, I..." Chai Gou was so nervous he couldn't speak. When he truly saw Zhang Ran transfer a hundred million so casually with a single word, he was genuinely nervous.
At this moment, let alone him, Fan Hong and the others felt their hearts jump into their throats. They felt that they had truly gotten into big trouble.
"Since the money has arrived, can I let my friend go and pick her up now?" Zhang Ran asked tentatively.
"Of course you can. We have never restricted Miss Qian's freedom; she can leave whenever she wants." Chai Gou seemed to want to explain something.
Zhang Ran said, "It's fine, just let Xiao Li stay there for now, I will have my friend go over to pick her up."
It wasn't that Zhang Ran didn't want Qian Li to leave immediately; he was worried that Qian Li had truly been set up, and if something happened, that would be bad.
Now that he had paid the money, he needed to protect Qian Li's safety. The fact that he could pay so quickly, giving a hundred million just like that, proved his financial power.
Therefore, they definitely had to protect Qian Li's safety, otherwise they would have to consider the consequences of offending a super-rich person who could casually pull out a hundred million.
After saying this, Zhang Ran handed the phone to Zhang Siyan, letting her stay on the line with Qian Li, while he began to dial his old friend's number, and at the same time, he needed to rush to Macau.
