Several business partners simultaneously turned their heads and saw a young man in a long robe.
The young man's expression was indifferent, as if he held nothing in his eyes.
As soon as the business partners saw this expression, they became furious.
In Jianghai, they had never encountered such an arrogant young man!
"What are you? How dare you tell us what to do?"
"What, you want to be a hero saving the damsel? Young man, I advise you to be rational! Don't think that a bit of courage can fight the whole world! In fact, this world doesn't revolve around your thoughts! In the eyes of this world, you are just a piece of dog shit!"
"Hmph, what's the point of talking nonsense with him? Let's get down to business! Hurry up and throw him out, don't delay our business!"
The business partners spoke one after another, intending to physically remove the young man from the premises!
However, the business partners failed to notice that Min Ziqiong, whom they considered to be at her wit's end, suddenly changed her expression, as if she had suddenly gained immense confidence!
Gone was the look of despair, fear, and meekness from before!
The reason was simple: this young man who appeared at the opportune moment was none other than Ying Chen!
After Ying Chen dealt with the elder and younger bastards, and their confidantes, he did not linger in Hong Kong.
After all, the overall situation in Hong Kong was settled, and Ying Chen disdained to manage the remaining messy minor affairs, leaving them all to He Chongxu.
He Chongxu could be described in one sentence now: When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.
All the tigers had been killed by Ying Chen, so how could He Chongxu not become the sole king?
What Ying Chen didn't expect was that he returned at such a coincidental time, just when these business partners had come to demand payment.
And it happened to be one minute before the contract's default.
Another minute later, perhaps even Ying Chen would have been helpless.
The only solution would probably have been to physically "send to heaven" these business partners.
"Kid, are you going to roll out of here on your own, or should we roll you into a ball and throw you out?"
A burly business partner stepped forward and asked with a sideways glance.
Ying Chen ignored this business partner and instead looked at Min Ziqiong inside the house: "How much do you owe them?"
With a protector, Min Ziqiong dared to open the door and walk out.
She held Nannan and walked to Ying Chen, replying, "Thirty million."
"Oh, I thought it was a lot. It's only this much." Ying Chen nodded.
Ying Chen's words instantly made the business partners explode.
"Hey, where did this ignorant mad boy come from? Do you know what thirty million means? Do you know that if thirty million were converted into coins, they could smash you into a pulp? Do you know that you couldn't earn thirty million in ten lifetimes?"
"No one in Jianghai dares to boast like this. I never expected that the first person to boast like this would be you, kid! Interesting, very interesting."
The business partners burst into laughter, their words and expressions filled with ridicule and mockery of Ying Chen.
However, Ying Chen's expression remained calm, and he said seriously, "I have one hundred and fifty billion. Isn't thirty million just 'a little bit' to me?"
Whoosh!
The entire audience was instantly in an uproar.
Not just the few business partners, but even Min Ziqiong widened her eyes in disbelief.
One hundred and fifty billion?
Was Ying Chen joking?
Know that this wealth was enough to rank on the Dragon Country's wealth list!
However, no one had ever heard of Ying Chen's name or seen his face.
Let alone the Dragon Country's wealth list, even Jianghai's wealth list had never seen Ying Chen's trace!
"Boasting! It must be boasting!"
The few business partners instantly made their judgment.
They did not believe that Ying Chen was telling the truth at all.
Ying Chen did not explain, but simply took out a card from his pocket: "There are twenty seconds left until midnight. The money in this card is enough to repay your debts. Take it, and you and Min Ziqiong will be square, with no outstanding debts between you."
"Hmm? A Hong Kong Diamond Card?"
The pupils of the few business partners instantly contracted, recognizing the origin of the bank card.
But then, they instinctively sneered: "I thought you would pull out a Centurion Black Card or a Globe Black Card! Even if not, it should be a JP Morgan Palladium Card!"
"You, on the other hand! You only took out a Hong Kong Diamond Card! Although the Hong Kong Diamond Card is considered a top-tier card, it's not enough to impress anyone!"
"Let me teach you a lesson. Next time you buy fake cards online, buy the top-tier ones! Don't buy these second-tier ones! These second-tier ones don't match your boasted net worth of one hundred and fifty billion!"
"Hahahaha..." After ridiculing Ying Chen, the business partners looked at each other and laughed heartily.
It was as if they saw a kindergarten child holding Monopoly money and showing off their wealth.
Childish and ridiculous.
Even Min Ziqiong showed a look of doubt.
She suspected that Ying Chen was just talking nonsense, trying to scare away these business partners.
After all, Ying Chen was not very sensitive to modern financial figures, so casually shouting out one hundred and fifty billion was also normal.
But Ying Chen didn't know that one hundred and fifty billion was already a frightening astronomical figure!
Facing the business partners' mockery and Min Ziqiong's doubt, Ying Chen calmly said, "There's a saying, isn't there? A top student gets a perfect score not because they can only score that much, but because the maximum score on the test is only that much."
"Similarly, the reason I'm using this card is not because I'm not worthy of a higher-level card, but because the highest-level card in Hong Kong is only this one."
The business partners were stunned.
Then they burst into laughter again.
"Interesting, interesting. Is this the highest level of shamelessness?"
"In any case, I've never seen anyone more shameless than him. Today, I've learned something!"
Ying Chen seemed indifferent to their taunts and simply stared at the wall clock in the bedroom, counting down: "Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Time's up."
"It is you who refused to accept the repayment, not that we didn't offer it. Therefore, this contract default is not our responsibility."
Ying Chen put away the card and said.
The business partners were dumbfounded.
They never expected Ying Chen to play this trick!
"A ploy! It's all a ploy!"
"He deliberately said he had one hundred and fifty billion, making us instinctively disbelieve him, and then he took out the card to offer repayment, making us subconsciously refuse the card! Ultimately, it turned into not that they refused to repay, but that we refused to accept!"
"We've been tricked! Damn it, too damnable!"
The business partners, as if realizing it belatedly, kept stomping their feet.
In this way, the consequences of the contract default would not be borne by Min Ziqiong!
Instead, it would be borne by them!
However, it seemed they didn't need to bear any consequences either?
After all, they had already prepared the goods according to the contract!
And although Min Ziqiong seemed to not need to bear the consequences of default on the surface, could Min Ziqiong really come up with thirty million?
As long as they could verify that the card was fake, they could still sue Min Ziqiong for breach of contract through legal channels and obtain the ownership of the Mirage!
Thinking of this, the few business partners became instantly excited.
Ying Chen's little cleverness was destined to be just little cleverness!
It could help Min Ziqiong avoid trouble for a while, but not for a lifetime!
