Chapter 125: Falling into a Trap  

Fu Tingyan looked at Qin Shu once more and saw her take out her notebook from her bag and putting it on her lap before flipping it open.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders because of the way she tilted her head. Her hair was soft and smooth and it reflected the sunlight brilliantly.

It was such a hot day. Wasn’t she afraid that it would be hot if she wore her hair down?

In the past, he had thought that Qin Shu chose to wear her hair down because she was ugly.

However, after seeing her without makeup yesterday, he felt that it wasn’t the case.

Fu Tingyan looked away, started the engine, and drove to school.

At the same time...

At the Qin residence...

Mu Lan had not slept well the whole night. When she woke up in the morning, she found that both of her eyes were swollen and there were serious dark circles under her eyes.

After all, she was old and couldn’t afford to stay up late.

Last night, she had wanted to wait for Qin Hai to come back and cry before him so that he would pay the compensation for her.

In the end, she had waited until three o’clock in the morning, but Qin Hai did not come back.

His phone was still turned off. He must have gone to attend a social gathering.

To put it nicely, it was a social gathering. In other words, he might have been fooling around somewhere.

Last night, she had gone to the police after she found that the money was gone. The police took her statement and asked for relevant information. Then, they told her to go home and wait.

Mu Lan picked up her phone and wanted to make another call. She saw an unread message. It was from a loan company. She thought about it and tapped on the message to take a look. She figured that the interest for taking a loan for a day was still affordable.

She exited from her message inbox and called Qin Hai’s phone. When she realized that it was still switched off, she couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

At this moment, her phone rang.

Mu Lan glanced at the caller ID. It was the person-in-charge of the auction. Her heart trembled.

She really didn’t want to answer the call, but she had no choice.

As soon as the call connected, she heard the person in charge of the auction say, “Bring the antique over. The auction will start in three hours.”

Mu Lan said with difficulty, “I’m not selling the antique anymore.”

“What? You’re not selling it again? Are you toying with me on purpose? Do you really think we’re so easy to bully and will let you play around with us?” The auctioneer was really angry this time. Mu Lan was treating him as if he were a monkey.

“Both times I renege on the sale were accidental...”

Before Mu Lan could finish speaking, the person in charge of the auction said harshly, “We can’t afford to offend a partner like you. You will be placed on our blacklist from now on. Since you’re not selling, I’ll let you know how much you should compensate us. Please transfer the money to us immediately, or else we’ll see you in court.”

Mu Lan wanted to say something else, but the other party had already hung up.

She could not help but curse silently. What a scumbag. He was just trying to intimidate others because he had a strong backer.

There was a mysterious person behind the auction. Outsiders only knew that this person could not be offended, but they did not know anything else.

There was a rumor that he was one of the four big families in Jiangcheng.

Not long after, she received a message. It was a message about the amount of compensation. [The amount of compensation is 2, 814, 888] The message also stated that they would see her at court if she did not pay the compensation today.

When she saw the amount, Mu Lan immediately cursed, “This is a f*cking robbery.”

Mu Lan hurriedly dialed Qin Hai’s cell phone again, but it was still turned off.

Where did this scumbag go to fool around? Why didn’t he reply to her message?

In her anxiety, Mu Lan opened the message about the loan again. She read the detailed introduction and saw that there was a phone number on it.

She tried to call the number and found that the person who answered the call was a man. His voice was deep and pleasant to the ears.

Mu Lan was someone who liked people with nice voices. When she heard such a pleasant voice, she quickly started chatting with him.

They chatted for two hours before hanging up.

Moreover, all they had talked about over these two hours was Mu Lan taking a loan.

And naturally, Mu Lan listened to what the other party had to say and borrowed a sum of money. She even signed a contract.
