Chapter 312 I Regret Too
Sister Lin looked at Ma Junjie with some surprise.
He suddenly let out a cold laugh.
He raised one hand, and an assistant handed him a piece of paper.
Sister Lin took the paper and slowly opened it.
He said to Ma Junjie,
"Kid, this is your brother Hao's IOU."
"Come over and take a closer look. It's written clearly in black and white."
Ma Junjie paused, took two steps forward, and stared at the paper for a few moments.
Sure enough, Jiang Hao's name was clearly written on it, the loan amount was five million, and the repayment date was today.
Below are Jiang Hao's autograph and bright red handprint, the handwriting is clear and the seal is distinct.
Ma Junjie's expression suddenly changed, and he involuntarily clenched his teeth.
He slowly turned his head, looked down at Jiang Hao who was standing dejectedly to the side, and his voice carried a hint of disbelief.
"Brother Hao, the 500 million you owe, is it hers?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao didn't dare to look Ma Junjie in the eye; his shoulders slumped, like a deflated balloon.
He hung his head, his lips moved slightly, and finally he nodded heavily.
Looking at Jiang Hao's appearance, Ma Junjie felt a mix of emotions.
He gritted his teeth, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
Ma Junjie initially thought that Sister Lin had brought a group of thugs to cause trouble on purpose.
Little did they know, they came with an IOU, clearly seeking repayment.
Now that it's all in black and white, the evidence is irrefutable. Paying back debts is a matter of course. Even if I wanted to help Jiang Hao, what could I do?
Besides, Jiang Hao doesn't owe five hundred yuan, or five thousand yuan, but five million!
This is no small sum.
As an ordinary person, let alone in one lifetime, even several lifetimes wouldn't be enough to earn 500 million!
Thinking this, Ma Junjie felt deflated and deeply powerless.
Seeing that Ma Junjie remained silent, Jiang Hao seemed to sense Ma Junjie's predicament and disappointment.
Jiang Hao, who had been silent with his head down, suddenly raised his head, a flash of grief and indignation in his eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice,
"Ah Jie! It's not what you think."
"I was tricked by them!"
"You lied?" Ma Junjie stared wide-eyed at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao pointed angrily at Sister Lin, his whole body trembling with emotion, shouting,
"Ah Jie, Lin Wei and the others deliberately set up a gambling scheme. At first, they let me win money, tens of thousands! I was blinded by greed and became more and more addicted to gambling!"
"Later on, they teamed up to cheat me out of all the money in my pocket!"
"I was blinded by greed after losing, so they took advantage of the situation and lent me money at exorbitant interest rates! I initially only borrowed 100 million! But with the interest compounding, it ballooned to 500 million in just half a month!"
"Lin Wei... Lin Wei, this is a scam! It's robbery! They're liars!"
Ma Junjie was utterly shocked and bewildered.
He finally understood why Jiang Hao had said that before.
It was both his own problem and that he had been deceived by others.
Ma Junjie stared at Jiang Hao, shook his head, and disappointment showed in his eyes.
After a long pause, he said with considerable feeling,
"Brother Hao, to be honest, I've considered many possibilities, but I never imagined that you were in debt for this reason."
Ma Junjie gave a wry smile.
"Brother Hao, nine out of ten gamblers lose, the last one is a shill."
"In my memory, my dad was a big gambler. He would be all smiles when he won money, but he would come home and beat people when he lost money."
"In the end, my dad got into a fight at the gambling table and was hacked to death. Our whole family buried him laughing."
"The thing I hate most in my life is... gamblers."
Ma Junjie's tone was icy, and his words revealed deep disappointment.
Jiang Hao listened silently, his face turning from yellow to black, and finally from black to white, overwhelmed with shame.
"Ah Jie, actually I... I don't usually gamble, it was just a sudden urge, and I couldn't resist the temptation..."
"I...I also regret it very much, I..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei sneered and interrupted Jiang Hao.
"Jiang Hao, stop with the nonsense. You're an adult now, and you have to take responsibility for the consequences."
"You need to understand that many times, we don't actually care about the process; the result is what matters most."
As she spoke, Lin Wei held up the IOU in her hand again.
"It's all in black and white, crystal clear. Your signature and your fingerprint were both signed voluntarily; no one forced you!"
"That's the reality, enough talk, just pay me back!"
Hearing Lin Wei's words, Jiang Hao sighed, raised his hand, and forcefully pounded his head.
He was frustrated, filled with self-blame, and kept cursing.
"Damn it, I'm a piece of trash, I'm such a piece of trash!"
"Ah Jie, go! Don't worry about me, just go!"
"I'll figure it out myself, I can handle it, let's go!"
Ma Junjie stood motionless, staring at the somewhat hysterical Jiang Hao with a somber expression.
Seeing Jiang Hao's reaction, Lin Wei suddenly burst into laughter twice.
After a while,
She stared at Jiang Hao, her eyes icy cold and piercing, carrying an undisguised threat.
"Jiang Hao, you'd better handle this yourself..."
"Otherwise, if you can't pay me back today, then according to our last agreement... you know what I mean!"
Lin Wei paused deliberately, watching Jiang Hao's face turn deathly pale, a cruel smile curving her lips.
"The remaining three fingers on your left hand are probably going to disappear without a trace."
"Jiang Hao, tell me, bank transfer or cash?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably with fear.
His voice was hoarse and out of control, choked with sobs.
"Lin...Lin Wei, your father and I were old friends. I watched you grow up. Could...could you do me a favor?"
"Don't worry... I'll definitely pay you back. Just give me some time, give me a little more time!"
Lin Wei's expression changed drastically the moment Jiang Hao mentioned her father.
Her face, which had initially appeared somewhat relaxed, even carrying a hint of a smile,
Suddenly his face turned ashen, and his expression became ferocious.
With an icy expression, he slowly uttered a few cold words.
"snort…"
"Jiang Hao, thank you for remembering my dad..."
"But where were you when my father died, when he was kidnapped and tortured? Did any of you lend a hand?"
"Now you want me to give you face because of my dad?"
"Okay, okay..."
As she spoke, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in Lin Wei's eyes.
He quickly raised one hand and waved it to his subordinates behind him.
Those thugs, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, burst into arrogant laughter upon seeing Lin Wei's gesture.
Seven or eight men rubbed their hands together, deliberately making a cracking and clanging sound with their steel pipes and machetes.
The leader, one of the captains, asked,
"Sister Lin, how do we play?"
Lin Wei's face was as cold as ice, her eyes indifferent.
He simply uttered two words, without much fanfare.
"Kill them!"
"Hahaha!" The thugs burst into excited laughter.
"Okay, okay!"
"My greatsword, it's been so long since it tasted blood!"
Having said that, the men stared at the trembling Jiang Hao, raised their clubs and machetes, and swarmed forward like a tidal wave...
