Wang Chengjin was still talking nonsense: "Mr. Li, this matter is simply too strenuous. Those people are quite difficult, I —"

Li Chengyuan interrupted coldly: "Get to the point."

Xia Xingchi's eyes scanned the picture of the little milk cake, thinking that since this person was so desperate to please Li Chengyuan, why didn't he think about treating the guests to something to eat?

This was on par with his own stinginess, ah.

If Wang Chengjin knew that he thought so, he would definitely feel wronged: Today the boss obviously wanted to bring his lover out to play, and just asked him in passing to come over and report.

He had guessed that he would bring Young Master Xia, but didn't expect that it would be a good-looking little lover instead......But no matter, he would be crazy to order food and "join them" to eat and talk.

Seeing that Li Chengyuan was impatient, Wang Chenjin quickly finished speaking: "All in all, if you do the math — the money owed by Young Master Xia is 15 million to be settled."

"What......cough cough cough!"

Xia Xingchi was trying to determine through taste why the lemonade was so expensive, and almost choked to death when he heard these words.

Why didn't he know that the original owner owed so much money?!

What kind of fate was this to be poor for two lifetimes, his debt increased tenfold after transmigrating?

The original owner had borrowed from more than a dozen loan sharks, so maybe he couldn't remember the amount. They held his secrets and all kinds of information in their hands, walking on the edge of the law and daring to do anything for money.

Although Wang Chengjin was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he was actually a local snake with connections and skills. He smelled a huge business opportunity —

This debt was quite messy, with many creditors and an amount that fluctuated erratically.

It was impossible for a busy boss to handle this mess in person. If he wanted to settle this chaotic bad debt, Mr. Li may need a "knowledgeable" right hand man.

A little kickback for this matter was worth millions. So relying on his thick skin and countless connections, Wang Chengjin finally contacted Li Chengyuan and assured him that it would be handled properly, and that all photos and information would be disposed of.

After Wang Chengjin made a quote, he quickly observed the situation, but saw that Li Chengyuan had remained calm and didn't have a big reaction after hearing this.

The outcome was that the "little lover" sitting to the side could not sit still. Xia Xingchi was astonished and maddened: "Fifteen million? That's impossible! Why would an ordinary person owe so much?!"

He had lived in the Xia residence for two days after transmigrating. Although the original owner had many luxuries that didn't match his income, without investing or doing business, it was absolutely not possible to have so much money.

Wang Chengjin: "Some are gambling debts, and there is interest......this is a usury loan, the kind that doubles interest on a day-to-day basis."

"Then are they not committing robbery?" Xia Xinchi said while pulling Li Chengyuan's arm, "Usury is illegal. Li Chengyuan, we can't pay back the money!"

Li Chengyuan deliberately kept silent, sounding out and silently observing Xia Xingchi's words and reactions.

Now that some conjectures had been confirmed, he had more speculations about Xia Xingchi's origins.
