She said angrily, "Five hundred thousand! Where do you expect me to find that?"
The other side said coldly, "If you don't have the money, we'll all be finished!"
After that, the call was hung up.
Tian Yi suddenly covered her face and wept.
Ye Tian handed her a tissue and said gently, "Sister Hua, if you have anything you can tell me, perhaps I can help you."
Tian Yi wiped away her tears, her eyes a little vacant, and murmured, "No one can help me. Ever since I got on his crooked ship, I knew this day would come."
Ye Tian: "Can you tell me about this matter?"
Tian Yi sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "At this point, I have nothing to fear. Alright, I'll tell you everything."
It turned out that two years ago, Tian Yi went abroad for a trip. When she returned, customs checked her luggage. The inspection was not a small matter. One of the customs officers' expressions changed. He then called Tian Yi into a separate room and told her with a serious expression that her luggage was found to be carrying drugs.
Tian Yi was struck by lightning. How could there be drugs in her luggage?
However, the man took out a cloth toy from her luggage in front of her, cut it open, and found a packet of powdered drugs inside.
Tian Yi knew this was a serious crime and was completely at a loss. She cried, saying the toy was a gift from someone else and she didn't know it contained drugs.
The man sighed and said he had encountered similar situations and was willing to help Tian Yi, but she had to be his girlfriend. Tian Yi was terrified at the time and completely lost her judgment, agreeing to the man's request on the spot.
Later, although Tian Yi cleared customs safely, the nightmare began from then on. This so-called boyfriend was normal at first, but within a few months, he started asking Tian Yi for money, and the amounts kept increasing.
Tian Yi, with an annual income of four to five hundred thousand, not only gave it all to this person but also borrowed over two million from online loans and over one million from bank loans. Now, her monthly loan repayments alone were over one hundred thousand. But she had no choice; as soon as she said she had no money, the man would threaten to expose her drug-carrying incident.
After explaining the process, Tian Yi slapped herself twice and cried, "It's all my fault. Why did I accept a cloth toy from a stranger? I'm such an idiot!"
Ye Tian quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "From the very beginning, you were being set up. The person who gave you the doll was very likely an accomplice of this man."
Tian Yi's face was full of tears. She looked up and said, "Ye Tian, I don't want to live anymore. I can't go on. When we reach the station, I'll surrender myself! I'd rather be shot than be controlled by him again!"
Ye Tian said calmly, "It's not that serious. Don't worry, I'll help you sort it out."
Tian Yi was stunned, "You can sort it out?"
Ye Tian: "After we get off the car, I'll accompany you to meet him. Now, tell me about him."
Tian Yi was at her wit's end. She immediately described the man's situation. This person was named Zhou Yukun, twenty-seven years old. He claimed his family owned several factories and was experiencing financial difficulties at the time. Tian Yi had never met Zhou Yukun's family, nor had she ever been to his home.
In the past year or so, she had given Zhou Yukun a total of 4.36 million.
After understanding the situation, the car had also reached the station. Zhang Jiliang drove to pick them up in that Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions.
Getting into the car, Tian Yi looked a bit dazed and asked, "Ye Tian, is this your car?"
Ye Tian: "No, it's my girlfriend's."
Tian Yi covered her mouth, "Is your girlfriend very rich?"
Ye Tian smiled, "She does have some money. Aren't you going to talk business with Baozhi Company? She's a shareholder of Baozhi."
Tian Yi exclaimed, "Heavens! You're not talking about President Lin, are you?"
Ye Tian: "Yes, her name is Lin Ziyi. You'll probably meet her in the future."
Tian Yi said with envy, "You're so lucky to have a girlfriend who's a millionaire."
Ye Tian winked, "Lucky? She has a terrible temper."
Tian Yi gave him a sideways glance and said, "If I were you, I'd tolerate her temper no matter how bad it was."
Ye Tian said no more and said, "Liangzi, let's go somewhere first."
