Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Fell into the Trap

After making two turns, the bald man led Zheng Qiuhang to a closed iron gate.

He scanned his face at the camera, and the iron gate slowly opened.

Inside was a whole different world. Zheng Qiuhang was secretly shocked when she got a clear look at the situation.

There was actually a huge underground casino here, and it was filled with people.

The bald man didn’t stop, leading Zheng Qiuhang to the door of an elegantly decorated room.

After a light knock, the door opened automatically.

"Come in!" The bald man gestured for Zheng Qiuhang to enter, then stepped forward and said, "Boss, Elder Zheng’s daughter is here to pay his debt!"

Zheng Qiuhang followed him into the room and saw a very fat man sitting behind a large desk. The man was bare-armed, revealing startling tattoos, and a menacing scar ran across his neck.

The fat man casually lifted his head, but his eyes widened the moment he got a clear look at Zheng Qiuhang.

"Where’s my father?" Zheng Qiuhang frowned at the fat man. "Have him come out and see me. And just how much does he owe you?"

"Hey, no need to rush!" The fat man, Yang Guomin, squinted as he looked Zheng Qiuhang up and down, then said with a chuckle, "Miss Zheng, you must be tired after coming all this way. Have a seat, drink some tea! Would you like Longjing or Biluochun?"

"I’m not drinking any tea. Hurry up and bring my father out," Zheng Qiuhang said, turning as if to leave. "Or I’m leaving!"

"Why the hurry?" Yang Guomin stood up and walked briskly over to Zheng Qiuhang, his eyes fixed on her prominent chest. He said with a smirk, "I can let your father’s debt slide, as long as you agree to one thing for me. How about it?"

"Not interested!" Zheng Qiuhang said with a cold expression. "Where is my father?"

Yang Guomin clapped his hands, and two men in black pushed an old man out.

It was none other than Zheng Qiuhang’s father, whom she hadn’t seen in years.

Seeing her father’s haggard face, Zheng Qiuhang felt a sudden pang of sorrow, but she didn’t go over to greet him.

She pointed at her father and asked Yang Guomin, "How much does he owe you? Tell me! I’m not interested in discussing anything else."

Yang Guomin held up three fingers. "Three million. I wonder, has Miss Zheng prepared the money?"

"What?" Zheng Qiuhang’s expression changed instantly. "Three million? How could it be that much?"

"A lot? Not at all!" Yang Guomin let out a dry laugh. "Miss Zheng, your father has been losing for the past two days. He wanted to win his money back and just borrowed a few more sums from us. So, that’s the final number."

Elder Zheng froze for a moment, then practically jumped three feet in the air. "What? Three million? Are you kidding me? I only borrowed five hundred thousand from you in total! Where did three million come from? This is extortion!"

"Elder Zheng, didn’t you know you were playing a leveraged game?" Yang Guomin said with a chuckle. "It’s true you borrowed five hundred thousand from us, but you were playing with five-to-one leverage. Losing it all means you lost two and a half million. Add the five hundred thousand you borrowed, and doesn’t that come out to exactly three million? I may have only finished elementary school, but I can still do that math."

After hearing Yang Guomin’s words, Zheng Qiuhang was no longer as agitated as before.

Forcing herself to calm down, she replied with a hint of authority, "Yang Guomin, do you realize this is fraud?"

After her father abandoned her mother for another woman, she had originally planned to never speak to him again for the rest of her life.

But when she received his call for help, the unbreakable bond of family kept her from standing by and doing nothing.

No matter how today turned out, she knew she wouldn’t be able to smooth this over with Wang Chenning.

If Wang Chenning looked down on her or stopped trusting her because of this, she would regret it to her core.

’I should have asked Wang Chenning to come with me,’ she thought. ’I was too naive, too impulsive, and too worried about my pride.’

Elder Zheng also shouted excitedly, "You never said it was a leveraged game before I played! This is fraud! I didn’t even write the IOU! You forced me to put my thumbprint on it! I don’t acknowledge this! You’re just trying to scam us!"

"So what if I’m scamming you?" Yang Guomin said with contempt. "Everyone knows gambling is a scam. But you, Elder Zheng, you knew it was a scam and you dove in headfirst anyway. Who can you blame but yourself? Besides the house, have you ever seen anyone get rich from gambling?"

"Three million is impossible," Zheng Qiuhang said, adopting the air of the owner of Li Garden Hall. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll have people come and cause trouble for you?"

"Oh? Threatening me now, are we?" Yang Guomin pulled an IOU from his drawer and waved it at Zheng Qiuhang and Elder Zheng. "Here’s the IOU. It’s a legally binding document. No matter how you spin it, we’re in the right. Even if the police or the courts get involved, there’s nothing you can do to me."

Before Zheng Qiuhang could answer, Yang Guomin continued, "I know you definitely don’t have this kind of money, and I’m not in a hurry for you to pay it back. How about this? I’ll treat Miss Zheng to dinner, and we can find a place to discuss this matter. What do you say, Miss Zheng?"

With a frosty expression, Zheng Qiuhang flatly refused, "No!"

Yang Guomin naturally knew Zheng Qiuhang wouldn’t easily accept his invitation. He chuckled and said, "Well then, you’d better start thinking about how to raise these three million! Of course, you don’t have unlimited time. How about this: I’ll give you until seven o’clock tonight to transfer the money into my account. Hmm, that’s still a few hours. You can figure something out!"

"Fine!" Zheng Qiuhang didn’t confront Yang Guomin head-on. She turned to walk out. "You just wait. I’ll go raise the money!"

"Miss Zheng, you can’t leave!" Yang Guomin blocked Zheng Qiuhang’s path. "You can make a phone call!"

Rage boiled up inside Zheng Qiuhang. "Yang Guomin, are you trying to illegally detain me?"

"Illegal detention? Is there such a thing as legal detention? I’m not the police!" Yang Guomin sneered. "Miss Zheng, I’ll be straight with you. Just keep me company for a year, and we’ll wipe this three-million-dollar debt clean. A three-million-dollar allowance for one year... you should be very satisfied with that."

"In your dreams!" The fury in Zheng Qiuhang’s heart was indescribable, but she didn’t fly into a rage. Instead, she said with a dignified expression, "Let me tell you something. I am now the owner of Li Garden Hall. You dare to threaten me like this? Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?"

"Ooh, the owner of Li Garden Hall? So you’re Eldest Young Master Li’s woman, huh? I’m so scared!" The fat man pretended to be terrified, giggled a few times, then his expression turned cold. "If you’re the owner of Li Garden Hall, then I’m the President of the United States! Like hell I believe you."

After a pause, he added, "Heh, I think I’ll have some fun with the ’owner of Li Garden Hall’ today and see if your lover, Eldest Young Master Li, will come to your rescue."

"Then let’s see you try." Zheng Qiuhang immediately pulled out her phone, quickly sent a message, and then dialed Wang Chenning’s number.

But unexpectedly, the bald man standing beside her snatched the phone right out of her hand.

After grabbing Zheng Qiuhang’s phone, the bald man smashed it on the ground and stomped on it viciously.

The phone quickly broke into a pile of parts, which the bald man then kicked away, scattering them across the floor...
