Ye Lingchen answered the call. "Yunxi?"

"Lingchen, save me! I'm running out of options. Can you please save me..." Zhang Yunxi pleaded, her voice hoarse. She had probably been crying for an entire night in desperation.

"Don't worry, I'll help you!" Ye Lingchen's expression darkened. "Stay calm and slowly tell me what happened. It'll be fine with me around."

Hearing Ye Lingchen's voice, Zhang Yunxi broke into tears once again.

She told him what happened as she cried.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen's face was turning darker by the second.

It turned out that Zhang Yunxi's father was addicted to gambling. Some time ago, he impulsively borrowed money from a loan shark to gamble. With the compounding interest, not only did they lose their assets, they were now in a huge debt of over RMB500,000.

RMB500,000 was an unbearable debt for Zhang Yunxi's family. Even Zhang Yunxi's university funds could not cover it.

"You're not studying?" asked Ye Lingchen.

"N—no..." Zhang Yunxi replied in a raspy voice.

Her entire family was cleaned out. The school fees along with accommodation cost was around RMB10,000. That was not something they could spare.

Ye Lingchen went silent. Since he was young, he knew Zhang Yunxi as a driven person. It was commonly said that a poor man's child will mature quickly. Not only was Zhang Yunxi beautiful, but she was also driven and had high self-esteem. He never expected her to be in this kind of situation.

"I originally planned to work my debt off, but...it's too difficult." Zhang Yunxi's voice was filled with despair. "That group of people came yesterday. They said they were going to use me to repay the debt. I'm only calling you as I have no other choice. I'm really scared..."

"Don't be scared. I'll go to your house right now. Wait for me!"

Ending the call, Ye Lingchen dared not to waste any time. He had his housemate take leave for him and immediately rushed out. He purchased the earliest plane ticket without a second thought and rushed to the airport.

The flight from Capital City to Jinghai City takes approximately two hours. He purchased the 7:30am flight and should arrive at Jinghai City around 9:30am. To travel from Jinghai City to Rugao City needed approximately 40 minutes.

There should be enough time.

On the way to the airport, Ye Lingchen continually consoled Zhang Yunxi. To be safe, he transferred RMB500,000 over to her first.

With his wealth, RMB500,000 was nothing. Wealth was not a necessity, but if Zhang Yunxi got hurt, his conscience will not rest well.

"Yunxi, if that group of people comes collecting debt again when needed, just pay them with the RMB500,000 I gave you. Remember, you must always prioritize your safety."

"Lingchen, how do you have so much money? Don't tell me you've also taken a loan from loan sharks. That's something you should never do!" Zhang Yunxi was badly traumatized by her experience.
