Chapter 1: Chaos KTV

  As soon as he heard that Qiang wanted to give 5 million first, and then continue to borrow the remaining 5 million - at least acknowledging those debts, Xu Lin let out a sigh of relief.

  But Qiang's words made Xu Lin understand again - this guy just found a new excuse for being lazy!

  "Just listen to the strong, bitter words: "Sister, but brother is really tight on hands now, even if the 500 million yuan loan in the back can't be repaid in a short time. If I write 'repay within one year', wouldn't that be deceiving you and Dragon Brother? So... cough, how about ten years? Of course, last time when borrowing money, Dragon Brother said this loan is interest-free, so the interest on this 500 million yuan... consider it as me owing Dragon Brother a favor."

  Ten years, and it's interest-free, this is too dark. Ten years, who knows if Gao Longsheng can still be alive in ten years. Moreover, based on the current price increase, the five million after ten years will probably not be worth as much as two million now.

  But it doesn't matter, even if Gao Longsheng can't live for ten years, Xu Lin can. Moreover, Gao Longsheng and Xu Lin had already made psychological preparations to be owed 5 million, and now they can still accept it. So Xu Lin smiled faintly and said "thank you" to Gao Longsheng.

  As soon as Xu Lin agreed, Qian Ya Qiang immediately said "Still, sister-in-law understands brother's difficulties", and then dialed a phone call. Immediately afterwards, the head of the finance department hurried over with a smile. Qian Ya Qiang laughed and said: "Director Liu, how about the 50 million cash I asked you to prepare?"

  Liu Kezhang said with a wry smile: "It's barely enough. Director Hong, if this money is allocated, not to mention the office expenses of our agency, even the wages of employees for this month will be a problem."

  "Cut the crap, I'm Lóng Shēng's older brother and I need money even more!" Tù Yá Qiáng said, "Prepare a check for 5 million yuan, bring it over and let me sign it."

  Liu Kechang left, and Xu Lin thanked him a million times. But Xu Lin also guessed that this must be a play between Liu Kechang and Qian Yangqiang, showing how much they lacked money. Let them act, anyway, first get back the five million yuan and then talk.

  As for the check, although there is a possibility of issuing a blank check, this is not a concern. When the time comes to withdraw money from the bank, if it is discovered that the account of the company "Tiger Strong" does not have the 5 million, the bank will automatically freeze his account. Moreover, even with a blank check, the law will still recognize this debt. So, Tiger Strong doesn't need to play tricks like this. This kind of thing can't be hidden for half a day, it's meaningless.

  Soon, Director Liu brought a check. Xu Lin took a closer look and it was indeed 5 million, with Qiang's private seal on the back. Then Qiang took it over, he laboriously held the Parker pen, signing his crooked name. The crooked signature didn't matter, as long as it was his handwriting, Xu Lin watched him sign it herself. With this level of education, why use a Parker pen, pretending to be cultured?

  Then, Hong Yongqiang wrote another new IOU: Today, I borrowed 500,000 yuan from Gao Longsheng (ID number ***), to be repaid in ten years without interest. Signed "Hong Yongqiang" and today's date.

  "Sister-in-law, you've got it all packed up. I'll go take a look at the Longsheng old brother's place later. Ah, old brother has really helped me out, you see, my brother only just found out about this matter." Yan Yang said with a forced smile, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Lin's bag.

  Xu Lin knew what it meant and smiled as she handed the IOU for 10 million yuan that Qianye Qiang had written back to him.

  He took it with a strong smile, checked that it was indeed the one he had written, lit it with a lighter and then lit a cigarette: "Sister-in-law, let's have lunch."

  Xu Lin didn't have the heart to stay, but Qiang was enthusiastic. When he heard that Xu Lin had taken a taxi, he immediately sent someone to drive and take Xu Lin to the hospital. Who says Qiang is not loyal? At least this matter was handled openly and honestly, and can be spoken of with pride.

  On the bus, Xu Lin let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She thought that with this five million, at least she could make a living now. As for the IOU for five million, she would just have to wait and see what happened. Who knows, maybe by then Wu Zhen would have made his fortune and wouldn't even care about this small amount of money, or perhaps he would pay it back just for the sake of his reputation.

  Upon arriving at the hospital, Xu Lin hastily rushed to Gao Longsheng's ward. Seeing Xu Lin return, Gao Longsheng immediately asked anxiously: "How is it?"

  Xu Lin smiled and said: "Not bad, opened a check for 5 million, and also made an IOU for 5 million."

  Gao Longsheng nodded and let out a sigh of relief: "Hurry up and take the money out, put it in our own account. By the way, won't there be any problem with the check? Didn't they find someone to sign it ahead of time and cheat us?"

  Xu Lin somewhat proudly took her index finger and poked it on Gao Long's forehead, "Look at you being suspicious, I saw him sign it with my own eyes."

  "That's good, that's good!" Gao Longsheng also rarely smiled. In these days, this is the only good news he has heard.

  Then, Xu Lin took out the bill and handed it to Gao Longsheng: "You don't believe me? Take a look yourself! Who else can imitate that crooked signature, haha!"

  But the check had just been handed over halfway, and Gao Longsheng hadn't taken it yet. Both of them were stunned. On that check, there was clearly a crooked signature with missing teeth at that time, but now... it was gone?!

  Impossible! Xu Lin was stunned, Gao Longsheng was dumbfounded.

  Xu Lin took the check over and turned it over, and indeed, the signature was gone! She had been staring at Quan's buck teeth as he signed it in person, and there was no chance to switch it in the middle!

  Tightly nervous, Xu Lin took out the 5 million IOU again. As a result, when she opened it and took a look - it was a blank sheet of paper! Where were the words?!

  Gao Longsheng thought for a moment and felt a lump in his throat: "This... invisible ink? He didn't use a signature pen?"

  Invisible ink? The kind that disappears naturally after a short time, without leaving any trace? Xu Lin's face turned pale in an instant, and she suddenly understood that Qiang and Liu were indeed singing the same tune, but not because they were really crying poor, but to create an atmosphere for repayment! At the time, Xu Lin only thought about how Qiang would get out of paying the five million, but didn't expect that they were diverting her attention!

  Who would have thought of this!

  Xu Lin heard Gao Longsheng's question and trembled all over: "It seems... it seems to be a pen..."

  Gao Longsheng's face turned ashen: "That... that initial IOU of 10 million must also..."

  "I... I gave it to him, he burned it... lit a cigarette..."

  Pffft! Gao Longsheng spits blood again, still truly spitting blood. This time, Gao Longsheng is probably really done for!

  Xu Lin was so frightened that she let out a loud shriek. The nurse rushed over in a flurry, and the doctor also arrived, busily giving orders for emergency treatment while complaining about the family members being unreasonable - how could they still be upsetting the patient at a time like this? Didn't they want to kill him?!

  Xu Lin was dazed and confused, as if she had lost her soul. At this time, Gao Longsheng's breath was like a wandering thread.

  Two dragons were born!

  Come on with the third breath, it's really going to take my life.
