Chapter 606 The Solution

However, Gao Qilin did not pay attention to these things and agreed to too many of their requests.

"Then it's settled. If I don't see the money in three days, I'll still come back to cause trouble."

Seeing Gao Qilin's certainty, those people felt relieved this time, rolled their eyes at him, and left.

After they all left, Mo Guanshan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and questioned:

“You saw their condition; it wasn’t serious at all. After their stomachs were pumped and they rested for half a day, they were fine again. Why pay them so much money?”

"If we don't do as they ask, they'll definitely keep coming back to cause trouble. What, do you want to be bothered by these people every day?"

Faced with Mo Guanshan's questioning, Gao Qilin explained the current situation.

After Gao Qilin said that, he didn't say anything more, but instead lowered his head to check his wallet.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a bank card from his wallet, withdrew about 200,000 yuan, placed it in Gao Qilin's hand, and said:

"The money here is not much, and it's not enough to deal with this matter at all. But this is all I have left. How am I going to explain this to them when they come to ask for the money back?"

"This amount of money is enough. I'll take care of the rest. You don't need to worry about this anymore. Just go do what you want to do."

Gao Qilin never expected that a boy from the mountains could have so much money, so he looked very surprised when Gao Qilin spoke.

However, Mo Guanshan directly rejected the method offered by Gao Qilin, saying:

“One should take responsibility for one’s own actions. This matter was clearly caused by me, so it is only right that I pay some money. Besides, the money I contribute is not even enough to cover the expenses of one person.”

After saying that, Mo Guanshan lowered his head again, looking helpless. He regretted not making more money when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't be in this situation.

"Since you've said so, I'll accept the money for now. But don't worry, if you ever need money again, just come to me and I'll find a way to help you."

Gao Qilin was afraid that if he took out all the money at once, he would have no money left to use, so he deliberately said such a thing.

"My barbecue stand is doing so well, how could I ever be short of money? Don't worry, I'll earn all the money back later, and I'll pay you back once I have all the money."

Upon hearing his words, Gao Qilin agreed without hesitation, knowing full well that it would probably be another lifetime before Mo Guanshan paid off the debt.

After chatting there for a while, the two headed toward the seaside amusement park.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and get some rest. I'm a little tired today too, so I need to rest early."

After returning to their lodgings, the two said a brief goodbye and hurriedly went back to their rooms.

As soon as Gao Qilin returned, Gao Qilan came in and asked:

"How did things go today? Did you encounter any tricky situations along the way?"

When did you come into my room?

Since no one usually comes to Gao Qilin's room, and the room was empty when he returned, he felt like he was all alone, which made Gao Qilan's words very frightening.

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

"That's how I walked in. Don't forget I have the key to your room. It's easy for me to come in and play, isn't it? Stop with the nonsense and tell me how things are going. I'm really curious about the outcome."

When Gao Qilin asked her questions, Gao Qilan explained how she got in.

Upon hearing her say that, Gao Qilin realized that she also had a key to his room. He no longer had any suspicions, and after letting out a long sigh, he told her everything that had happened that day.

......... ...... .......

"What? These people want a million in compensation? That's too greedy! A stomach pump should cost at most ten thousand, plus compensation for emotional distress, and at most one hundred thousand per person. How dare they ask for one hundred thousand? That's outrageous."

Upon learning of the situation, Gao Qilan couldn't help but complain. At that moment, she wished she could call these people over on the spot and ask them for clarification.

“I also thought what they said was a bit outrageous, but the situation was urgent at the time, and if I didn’t agree to them, Mo Guanshan would not have been able to get away at all.”

Upon hearing Gao Qilan's words, Gao Qilin appeared quite helpless, as he didn't want to do it either.

"So what do you plan to do next? Just go along with them? Or..."

Seeing Gao Qilin's state, Gao Qilan didn't press him further but instead inquired about his proposed solution.

“I’ve already promised them, so I’ll do as I’ve promised. Let’s start with one million each. I hope they don’t cause any more trouble later.”

After saying this, Gao Qilin sighed, as he didn't want such a thing to happen either.

Chapter 607 Seeking Zhao Hu's Help

“There are fifteen of them in total. If each of them loses one million, that's 15 million. Do you think we have that much money to come up with right now? Our marine park has finally started to improve, but the net profit every day is only 50,000 to 60,000. If this continues, when will we be able to raise all that money?”

Seeing that Gao Qilin was still insisting on giving them the money, Gao Qilan analyzed the current situation, trying to make Gao Qilin understand this point.

“You don’t need to tell me that, I know it by heart. But if we don’t give them the money, the Ocean Park will face a series of negative news, and it will be very difficult for the ‘967’ Ocean Park to develop.”

Gao Qilan had also thought of this, which made the two of them struggle with the matter. After careful consideration, they still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

At this moment, Gao Qilin looked up at the time and realized it was already past twelve o'clock, so he said:

"I'm afraid we won't be able to reach a conclusion on this matter today. You should go back and rest first, and we can discuss it again tomorrow."

"Okay, you should get some rest too, don't worry about this and ruin your health."

Seeing this, Gao Qilan didn't say anything more, and left the room, leaving Gao Qilin alone.

At this moment, Gao Qilin took out his phone to check the amount on their bank cards.

Although they had enough money on the card to make compensation, if they did that, all their efforts over the past few days would be wasted, and they would have to start all over again.

Gao Qilin naturally didn't want things to turn out this way. After some thought, he decided to put the matter aside for now and go to see Zhao Hu first thing tomorrow morning, hoping to get his help to resolve the issue.

"How's everything going on your end lately? It should be going pretty smoothly, right?"

Upon seeing the call from Gao Qilin, Zhao Hu immediately inquired about the situation on his end.

After all, Gao Qilin gave up the opportunity to continue speculating in stocks in Beiling to develop the marine park.

"Recently... I've come across some tricky issues that I'm not quite able to handle with my current abilities, so I was hoping to get your help, Tiger. I wonder if you have some time recently so we can meet and discuss this properly."

Since the two of them already had a good relationship, Gao Qilin didn't waste any words and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"You've run into some trouble? It's not Zhao Ruilong causing you trouble again, is it? It's quite a coincidence, I just happened to be back these past two days, and I'll arrive in Handong Province this afternoon. You can come find me then, and we can have a good talk about this."

Zhao Hu knew that Gao Qilin was in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have called him. So after Gao Qilin finished speaking, Zhao Hu hung up the phone and discussed the matter of returning with his servants.

Seeing that Zhao Hu would be back this afternoon, Gao Qilin felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He had come to regard Zhao Hu as his reliable support, and with Zhao Hu around, things could generally be resolved.

Nevertheless, Gao Qilin made preparations in advance and headed towards Zhao Hu's residence early in the morning, afraid of wasting even a little time.

Seeing Gao Qilin leave so early and not return for so long, Gao Qilan assumed he had gone to pay those people compensation, and a sense of worry began to creep in. She quickly picked up the phone to call and inquire about his situation.

"What happened to you? How come they suddenly disappeared and haven't come back for so long? You didn't actually go and pay them compensation, did you? Let me tell you, people like them, even if you give them the money, they'll still use this opportunity to cause trouble."

In order to make Gao Qilin give up completely, Gao Qilan told him the worst possible outcome she could think of.

“I understand everything you’re saying. Don’t worry, I’m not stupid enough to give money to others. I contacted Zhao Hu this morning, and he said he’ll be back this afternoon. So I’m going to visit him specifically to ask for his help in resolving this matter.”

Faced with Gao Qilan's concerns, Gao Qilin immediately explained his own plans.

"Oh, I see. I thought you really went to pay them compensation."

Gao Qilan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Gao Qilin said.

2.8 “Since you’re looking for a solution from Zhao Hu, then I won’t bother you any longer. If you need anything from me, just contact me directly. I’ve been here all day.”

Gao Qilan was worried that Gao Qilin might need something along the way but wouldn't be able to contact anyone, so she said those words on purpose.

"Okay, I'll contact you as soon as I need to. You should go and take care of things at the seaside park. There must have been a lot of trouble there lately, and you need to find a way to resolve it."

"You don't need to worry about the amusement park. With me here, nothing will happen. Besides, the drugging incident just occurred, so naturally I need to keep a close eye on things here."

Chapter 608 Zhao Hu Makes a Move

After they had a brief chat, Gao Qilin hung up the phone, thinking all the way about what to say to Zhao Hu after they met.

Just as Gao Qilin was thinking about these things, he had already arrived at the place where Zhao Hu lived.

The area outside was already filled with luxury cars, a detail that showed Zhao Hu had returned.

However, Gao Qilin did not linger to go in, because there were so many cars outside and quite a few people inside. Moreover, those who came from Zhao Hu's circle were mostly people of high status who knew something about the Sea Paradise.

Gao Qilin was afraid that if he went in like this, he would become the focus of everyone's attention and cause gossip, which would have a significant impact on Zhao Hu.

Fortunately, Gao Qilin stood outside the whole time, waiting for the owners of the luxury cars to come out one by one before he went in.

But just as he was about to go inside, his phone suddenly rang.

"What's going on with you? Didn't 16 say he was coming to see me today to resolve something? How come so much time has passed and I still haven't seen you? Do you even take this matter seriously?"

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Hu's reproachful voice came through. It turned out that he had been waiting for Gao Qilin to appear all afternoon, but he hadn't come.

"I arrived a while ago, but when I saw the luxury cars outside, I knew there were a lot of people here. I didn't know any of them, and if I went in like this, it would definitely ruin the atmosphere. So I thought it wouldn't be too late to come out after they left."

Faced with Zhao Hu's blame, Gao Qilin explained the situation on his side.

"Are you waiting outside?"

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhao Hu looked incredulous and immediately hung up the phone to check the situation.

He hadn't gone two steps when he saw Gao Qilin, whose skin was charred black by the sun.

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but say:

"Just tell them when you come next time. With our relationship, they won't say anything. If anyone does, I'll make them pay."

After saying that, Zhao Hu immediately took him into the room and prepared some things to cool him down so that Gao Qilin could alleviate his current physical condition.
