We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Su Weile looked at him seriously and calmly asked, "Su Yicheng, what's wrong with you? Tell me the truth, otherwise I can't help you."

Su Yicheng stubbornly said, "Just lend me ten million, you don't need to know anything else."

Su Weile was angry, so she leaned forward and said in a lower voice, but in a very unpleasant tone.

"Bullshit! You fucking ask for ten million, and I can't even ask why? Do you think this is just a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand? You think I can lend it to you without asking any questions? Do you think my family owns a bank?"

Su Yicheng looked at the car Su Weile had driven towards him once again.

The voice sounded somewhat sickly as it said, "For some people, it's just the cost of a car, but for others, it's the cost of a family's life. This world is so unfair."

Su Weile gritted her teeth and said, "Su Yicheng, stop spouting your dark nonsense."

Nobody's money comes from thin air. The world is mostly made up of ordinary people, and you and I are both ordinary people.

Everyone else can approach life with enthusiasm and positivity, so why are you behaving like this with me, all sarcastic and unpleasant?

After a few seconds of silence, Su Yicheng persisted in asking, "Can you lend me money?"

Su Weile really wanted to hit someone. But she held back and said, "I can't lend you that much. You should know my family's situation. Even if I wanted to help you, I couldn't possibly come up with that much money all at once."

The most important thing now is that I need to know exactly what happened to you.

Su Yicheng remained silent. After his initial extreme anger subsided, Su Weile gradually calmed down. He began to analyze the situation. Su Yicheng's sudden demand for so much money couldn't be due to any normal difficulties; it must be something unusual.

Gambling? Illegal lottery? Pyramid scheme? Or...?

Suddenly, in a flash, Su Weile thought of Su Yicheng! That company your boss from last time tricked you into investing in...?

Seeing the instant change in Su Yicheng's expression, Su Weile knew she had guessed correctly.

He took a deep breath. "Then why didn't you say so then? We should have called the police then, wait..."

Su Weile realized a terrifying question: Su Yicheng invested money? Then where did his money come from?

"You invested money? Where did you get the money, from loan sharks? Why would loan sharks lend you money? You don't have anything to offer as collateral, you..."

Su Weile suddenly stopped talking, and Su Yicheng's emotions also collapsed. He suddenly slammed his head on the table and then banged it hard on the table.

The guests at the distant table were startled and kept looking this way. Su Weile, no longer caring about being embarrassed, looked up at Su Yicheng's head and said coldly...

"Su Yicheng, don't tell me you mortgaged my uncle's house?"

Su Yicheng didn't speak, but faint sobs could be heard coming from under the table.

Su Weile slumped back in her chair, her fists clenched tightly. She bit down hard on the meat in her mouth.

"Su Yicheng, who the hell gave you the guts?! That house is my uncle's life's work, it's for his retirement, what right do you have?! What right do you have?!"

After calming down for a moment, Su Weile took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, let's call the police."

Su Yicheng looked up in alarm. "No, we can't call the police. It's no use. We can't call the police."

"Wake up, you bastard! At a time like this, you're not calling the police? Are you going to let that swindler live a life of luxury with your ten million while my uncle and your whole family are left to sleep on the streets?!"

Su Yicheng said in a very sorry state, "It's no use. That Manager Ma has already fled abroad and can't be caught. But, but, if I don't pay back the money, I'm finished, really finished. They're all gangsters, they'll kill people, they really will kill people."

Then Su Yicheng grabbed Su Weile's hand and said, "Su Weile, you...you don't want to see your uncle homeless, so please help me! Help me pay back this money, and the house will be saved. Everything will be alright~"

Su Weile stared at him fiercely, feeling that the person in front of him was both pitiful and hateful.

In fact, ever since he arrived at the Su family, everyone has taken good care of him, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable or overthink things. Everyone has been especially careful around him.

For some reason, Su Yicheng was becoming increasingly awkward.

He always seems to want to prove something, even though no one is competing with him. Why can't he just live a relaxed life?

Su Weile said helplessly, "Su Yicheng, I'll say it again, I can help you, but there's one condition. You must call the police."

Now, I'll take you there.

Inside the Porsche sports car, Su Yicheng sat, touching the handcrafted interior. He watched Su Weile start the car with a dashing air, and noticed the intense gazes of passersby that had been pouring in since Su Weile got in.

Su Weile was focused entirely on dealing with this matter.

After starting the car, he said, "When we get to the police station, you should explain your situation in detail and make it clear."

Then I mentioned the mortgage I processed, so the police could check if they were a legitimate lending company and whether they were engaging in usury.

Su Yicheng sat in the car without saying a word; the immense pressure he had been under recently had driven him to the brink of collapse.

He knew that if he went to the police station, all his misdeeds would be exposed at home. But he couldn't care less now; he desperately needed relief, he was on the verge of going insane.

Su Weile stayed with Su Yicheng the whole time while he gave his statement at the police station until noon.

While Su Yicheng was in the restroom, Su Weile took the opportunity to ask the police officer handling the case. She learned that the company that lent money to Su Yicheng was indeed a legitimate lending company.

Whether there were illegal operations or excessive actions that were unavoidable, judging from these contracts alone, the loans they offered were indeed legal. Although the interest rates were high, they did not fall into the category of usury.

Su Weile's heart sank. The police looked at the handsome boy and said, "Your brother is too stupid. How could he easily take out so much money and only come to report it now? The swindler has already gone abroad, and it will be very difficult to catch him."

Because the property certificate was in Su Hui's name, the police notified Su Hui.

When Su Hui and Cheng Ling arrived, they were both completely bewildered. They had no idea what was going on.

They didn't even know their property certificate was missing. The power of attorney that Su Yicheng had tricked Su Hui into signing had already been held by the loan company.

At the police station, Su Weile specially poured water for her uncle, stayed by his side, and cooperated with the police to tell him the story in a very tactful way.

But even with the most tactful words, Su Weile still felt it; the arm she was supporting went from stiff to trembling slightly, and then to shaking uncontrollably.

Su Weile looked at her uncle, whose face was ashen, and her eyes reddened with heartache.

He whispered in his uncle's ear, "Uncle, it's okay, it's okay, it's nothing. Dad and I are here, we'll help you solve it, don't worry."

Su Hui slowly turned around, looked at his nephew, and, unusually vulnerable, shed tears.

"Good boy~"
