The man in front of her had a fairly deep relationship with the movie star Li Qinghe.

Given this connection, Zhong Xingyue guessed that he might indeed be able to help her with her problem.

Adjusting the towel wrapped around her body, Zhong Xingyue said, "I... my dad owes the Ye Family three hundred thousand, and if he doesn't pay it back, they, they're going to kill him."

In recent days, to gather the three hundred thousand, Zhong Xingyue had been running around everywhere.

After a lot of effort, she had managed to scrape together one hundred thousand. Facing the insurmountable gap of two hundred thousand, she had no choice but to take part in tonight's set-up.

"The Ye Family? The Ye Family of the top three clans on Hong Kong Island?"

Hearing Zhong Xingyue's dilemma, Xu Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and confirmed once again.

"Yes, that Ye Family."

Zhong Xingyue nodded and said.

Her father was a compulsive gambler. This time, he gambled at a venue operated by the Ye Family, not only losing all their assets but also incurring a gambling debt of three hundred thousand.

Although she had long severed father-daughter ties due to her father's gambling habits, those people eventually came after her.

Due to their frequent harassment, Zhong Xingyue had already lost her job.

She guessed if the money wasn't repaid, it wasn't just her father who was in trouble; she too might be killed by them.

Now, having nowhere to turn and with no one willing to help, or those who were had ulterior motives, she decided to lay all her cards on the table with Xu Fan.

"You mean, your father accrued three hundred thousand in gambling debts, and now it's fallen on you to pay?"

After hearing Zhong Xingyue out, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.

If the owed amount was three hundred thousand, considering the past few days, it didn't make sense for the gambling ring only to demand three hundred thousand from Zhong Xingyue. At the very least, they should be asking for some interest.

Are the loan sharks being this generous these days?

"Yes, they said that tomorrow night, I should bring the money to Jin Yutian to meet them, or else they'll kill my dad."

Zhong Xingyue nodded and said.

Now, less than a day remained until the agreed-upon time, and she simply couldn't come up with the remaining two hundred thousand.

"Jin Yutian? I see..."

Hearing Zhong Xingyue mention Jin Yutian, Xu Fan suddenly understood.

Those debt collectors were most likely planning to take her body as interest.

"Meeting you must be fate. I'll take care of this problem for you."

If he just ignored the situation, this woman's life might be over, Xu Fan sighed and then agreed to help.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go to sleep now; tomorrow, I'll accompany you there."

After speaking with Zhong Xingyue for so long, it was very late, and Xu Fan glanced at her and urged her to rest.

"Ah?"

Clutching the towel, Zhong Xingyue couldn't help but blush.

This... this guy was so direct.

Even though she was grateful for his offer to help, he shouldn't be this direct, right?

Directly telling her to sleep with him.

Thinking about how Xu Fan had just refused her request, Zhong Xingyue couldn't help but pout.

Men, surely all are duplicitous creatures.

Blushing, she then climbed onto Xu Fan's bed.

"Only... only allowed to hold me, don't... don't make a move on me!"

Now hiding under the blanket, Zhong Xingyue timidly poked out her head and cautioned him.

In the past few days, hearing about her plight and fearing the Ye Family's threats, her friends had all severed ties with her, except for him, a stranger she met for the first time who was willing to help her out.

She did indeed have a bit of fondness for this man, and if it was just about sleeping in the same bed, she could barely accept that.

"Sis, we've just met, and you already want to sleep with me? You're really straightforward," he said.

Seeing Zhong Xingyue lying on the bed, looking like a virtuous young lady about to be defiled, Xu Fan couldn't help but tease her with a laugh and a cry.

She appeared at his door wrapped in a bath towel, which, if he wasn't mistaken, must have been an outfit change at Wang Zhennan's place.

Now that Wang Zhennan had scrammed, where could she go, draped in just a bath towel?

Given her current financial situation, she must have been homeless by now.

"Alright, get some rest early. If you want to sleep with me, try a bit harder, and I'll see if I feel like giving you a break," he said.

After saying that, Xu Fan left the room straight away, leaving Zhong Xingyue lying on the bed, quivering with rage!

She grabbed a pillow and threw it towards the door!

"You scoundrel! Shameless!"

...

After leaving his room, Xu Fan entered the room arranged for the two Living Corpses of the Green Rakshasa, planning to spend the night there.

Once he was in the room, Xu Fan took out his phone and dialed Zhao Shun's number.

"Hello? Who is this? Calling me in the middle of the night, are you hastening my death?"

When the call connected, he could hear Zhao Shun cursing out of breath on the other end.

From his voice, it was clear that the Gang Leader of the Fuk An Gang had not rested late at night and was vigorously busy creating troubles.

"Zhao Gang Leader, do you remember me?" Xu Fan said with a slight smile, greeting Zhao Shun.

With last night's experiences still vivid in his mind, Zhao Shun had intended to use this rough manner to soothe his inner trauma.

This familiar voice made Zhao Shun pause.

"Sir, why... why are you calling me at this hour..."

Zhao Shun's voice trembled a bit, clearly showing his fear, making Xu Fan laugh.

"Gang Leader Xu, I am not a ghost. What are you afraid of?"

Ghosts aren't as scary as you, sir...

Remembering the experience of almost being strangled to death by Xu Fan, Zhao Shun couldn't help but mutter in his mind.

After a pause, he forced a dry laugh, "Sir, do you need me for something?"

Returning to the matter at hand, Xu Fan couldn't help but sneer, "It seems like Zhao Gang Leader has forgotten the words I said to you last night. Now you dare to mess with my friend?"

"Uh... "

Zhao Shun's throat tightened, thinking to himself that he had indeed offended this plague deity again, but he had absolutely not done anything of the sort?

That's too unjust...

Zhao Shun cautiously said, "Big brother, I've been wronged, I really didn't do it..."

"Haha, whether you did it or not, you know best, Zhao Shun. I'll give you five minutes to investigate, and if I don't hear an explanation from you in five minutes, you better have your will ready," said Xu Fan, and he hung up immediately.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhao Shun felt like crying but had no tears. Five minutes, with no leads, how could he investigate?

Looking at the ticking clock hands on the wall, Zhao Shun had to rack his brains.

Damn it!

After mulling it over for a while, Zhao Shun remembered something a Hall Master of the Fuk An Gang had mentioned to him today.

It seemed to involve a woman.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Zhao Shun grinned, unable to dismiss the thought, and quickly called his Hall Master...
