So she dodged directly that time. Now Qin Yuhan returned, she could be said to have returned with honors, but she no longer had the status of a duke's daughter. She didn't want to see Qin Yuhan, and she didn't want Qin Yuhan to mock her. Even if Qin Yuhan wouldn't mock her, she didn't want Qin Yuhan to see her in such a sorry state.
"I, I saw you had performances in the country recently, so I knew you were here..." Cen Ya said guiltily.
In fact, it was after she met Qin Yuhan that she went home and searched online, only to learn that Qin Yuhan had a performance.
However, Qin Yuhan accepted this reason and did not press further.
Qin Yuhan pondered for a moment, "What crime did Ou Minghan commit, and why was he imprisoned?"
Cen Ya stammered for a long time, "I'm not too sure either... Yuhan, the most important thing is, please ask your lawyer to pass a message to him. He scammed so much money from me, I won't hold it against him anymore, but the debt I owe now... please, for the sake of our past relationship, you must help me pay it off!"
"How much debt do you owe?" Qin Yuhan asked.
"This, this question..." Cen Ya said bitterly, "Can I not answer? I really don't have any money at all right now. I can't afford a lawyer myself. If this continues, I really don't know what to do..."
Qin Yuhan was very helpless. She could tell that Cen Ya was hiding many things from her. No matter what she asked, Cen Ya wouldn't say, which left her completely in the dark.
"Yuhan, please, now I don't know who else to turn to for help besides you! If you don't help me, I'm completely finished!" Cen Ya said sorrowfully.
She dared not go to Gu Sheng for help. The last time she asked Gu Sheng to find a way to save Ou Minghan, Gu Sheng rarely came home in the past month. Although he occasionally returned and told her about the progress of saving people, he would usually leave directly after speaking.
Cen Ya also called him, but every time she called, she was told that he was busy.
Gu Sheng's coldness towards her made her even more hesitant to bother him. She was very afraid that Gu Sheng would misunderstand.
"I'll consider it and give you an answer later," Qin Yuhan said. Then, she hung up the phone.
Soon, Ye Zhi returned.
"Manager Ye, can I ask you some questions?" Qin Yuhan's brows were tightly furrowed.
"Yes." Ye Zhi nodded.
"Do you know what happened between Ye Qinya and Ou Minghan? Why is Ou Minghan in jail? And why is Cen Ya in debt?" Qin Yuhan asked, confused.
Ye Zhi was stunned when she heard this. Qinya...
She hadn't heard this name for a long time. It seemed Qin Yuhan was still in the earliest version.
Ye Zhi didn't hide anything from her. She told Qin Yuhan the whole story: Ou Minghan took Cen Ya to Country K for a heart transplant surgery, but she was rescued and recognized by the Cen family, then returned to the country as the Cen family's daughter, used the Cen family's money to support Ou Minghan, and finally broke ties with the Cen family.
Even though Ye Zhi summarized it concisely, it took more than an hour, and she even ordered another pot of fruit tea to moisten her throat.
Qin Yuhan listened with wide eyes. She really didn't expect so many bizarre and outrageous things to have happened.
"So... Cen Ya now owes two hundred million?" Qin Yuhan gasped.
"Yes," Ye Zhi nodded.
Qin Yuhan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Manager Ye, is it possible for Ou Minghan to help Cen Ya repay the money?"
"Whether he is willing or not, it's impossible," Ye Zhi said with certainty. "Ou Minghan has killed many business rivals. Their families have enough money to hire lawyers. Now these families want compensation and do not forgive him, clearly intending to leave Ou Minghan with neither life nor money.
Ou Minghan still has some assets under his name, but after these assets are confiscated, they are not even enough to cover the compensation, let alone have so much to help Cen Ya repay her debts."
Qin Yuhan sighed.
"You want to help her?" Ye Zhi shrewdly sensed her emotions.
"I just want to find a lawyer for her as she requested," Qin Yuhan said in a deep voice. "This request is not troublesome, and I can do it. It won't cost me anything. We grew up together, so I can still help with this."
Ye Zhi sighed, Qin Yuhan was truly a good person.
"Let me handle this matter," Ye Zhi said calmly. "Since you are about to sign with Taoxun, these daily trivialities should naturally be handled by our management company."
Qin Yuhan was taken aback. She couldn't help but say, "Manager Ye, this..."
"Alright, alright, no need to say more," Ye Zhi smiled faintly. "For me, this is just a phone call. If you refuse again, I can only interpret it as you no longer want to sign with Taoxun!"
"Manager Ye," Qin Yuhan said with a wry smile, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Afterward, Ye Zhi arranged for a lawyer to meet Ou Minghan in the detention center.
However, Ou Minghan's answer completely put Cen Ya in a difficult situation. Ou Minghan asked the lawyer to tell her that as long as Cen Ya could save his life and keep him from the death penalty, he would give all his assets to Cen Ya.
Cen Ya called Qin Yuhan again, crying to her, "He's asking me to find a way to help him avoid the death penalty, but how can I possibly do that? Yuhan, you always have better ideas than me. Tell me, what method can prevent him from being sentenced to death?"
Qin Yuhan thought for a moment and said calmly, "Given the crimes Ou Minghan has committed, if he wants to avoid the death penalty, he probably only needs to achieve controlled nuclear fusion before the verdict is announced."
Cen Ya's mouth widened in shock. She said somewhat anxiously, "Yuhan, at this time, please stop joking, okay? I beg you, help me think of a way..."
"I'm not joking, and this is a way that can genuinely help him avoid the death penalty," Qin Yuhan said speechlessly. "Cen Ya, I'm just a pianist. I'm not a fairy.
If you ask me to spend some money to help you hire a lawyer, I can still help, but if you ask me to find a way to help him avoid the death penalty, do you know how absurd that is? It's less likely than this world suddenly experiencing a spiritual resurgence, him awakening superpowers, and directly breaking out of prison!"
Cen Ya opened her mouth, wanting to say something but unable to. The next moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "But, but what will I do in the future... such a huge debt..."
"Qinya, no matter what kind of predicament you encounter, as long as you don't give up, there will be a way," Qin Yuhan sighed. "I know that a debt of two hundred million is very difficult to repay, and it makes you see no hope, but don't you still have Gu Sheng? With Gu Sheng taking care of you in life, you can find a job and earn some money to repay it slowly.
As long as you show an attitude of being willing to repay the money, the bank won't do much to you. After all, if you can't repay, you can't repay. Even if the bank pushes you to your breaking point, they will only gain a bad debt. Why would they do that?"
