286: Chapter 286: Returning to the Rightful Owner 286: Chapter 286: Returning to the Rightful Owner Qian Chengxue had mortgaged assets totaling 160 million, and since there wasn’t much ti, the interest was not substantial.
Including processing fees, a total of 161 million was needed to repay.
“Miss Ye, you only need to repay this amount to retrieve all assets, including shares and real estate valued at 100 million, and a necklace worth 60 million.”
After hearing this, Qian Chengxue fell into a dilemma.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t co up with the money, but if she did, there would not be enough left to pay wages.
After weighing her options several tis, Qian Chengxue sighed.
“Let’s redeem the shares and real estate first, and we can deal with the necklace later.”
“That’s possible.”
The manager responded politely.
Standing aside, Xiao Jie spoke up at this mont, “Xiao Xue, if you are short on cash, just tell , there’s no need for all this trouble.
I’ll redeem the necklace for you.”
Although the recent turmoil at the gold points had resulted in heavy losses and left him with not much money, Xiao Jie was still prepared to painfully part with what he had, for one can’t secure the wolf without giving up the child.
“No need, thank you.”
Qian Chengxue shook her head and declined Xiao Jie’s offer.
“Why are you being so polite with ?”
“I appreciate your kindness, but it’s not necessary.”
Qian Chengxue was exceptionally insistent.
She knew better than anyone that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Seeing that Qian Chengxue had made up her mind, Xiao Jie did not persist further.
At that mont, in the next room, Su Mo and Chen Yue were clearly observing everything inside Qian Chengxue’s room.
The two rooms were separated by a mirror, which was a one-way mirror.
After a long silence, Su Mo asked Chen Yue, “Can I pay off that mortgage money?”
Chen Yue responded respectfully to Su Mo, “Under normal circumstances, that would not be possible.
But given your VIP privilege, it would be no problem.”
“Good, let’s proceed with that, and kindly send the items over.”
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Regardless, the reason for the failed attempt to seize the gold mine points had nothing to do with him, but after all, it had been his idea.
“Alright, I’ll handle it right away.”
Chen Yue replied hastily.
…
A mont later, Qian Chengxue and her group walked out of the bank towards the helipad.
Xiao Jie invited politely from the side.
“Ye Xue, let’s have lunch together at noon.
I know a new restaurant nearby that is quite good, with incomparable taste.”
“No need, I have things to do.”
Qian Chengxue continued to refuse blandly, seemingly unwilling to have any relation with Xiao Jie.
“Are you still worried about the funding issue?
Honestly, you can just tell if there’s a need.”
“This is my own matter, but thank you for your concern.”
As they reached the helicopter, Qian Chengxue stopped, thanking Xiao Jie.
At that mont, Liu i, looking very worried, spoke up, “Sister Xue, our finances are indeed too tight, if there is…..”
“Liu i!”
Qian Chengxue interrupted Liu i sternly.
Seeing this, Liu i quickly shut her mouth and did not continue.
Xiao Jie hurriedly said to Qian Chengxue, “Don’t be angry, your subordinate is just looking out for you.
There’s no need for us to be strangers with our history.”
“Thanks, I have to go.”
Qian Chengxue said as she prepared to board the helicopter.
Just then, Chen Yue hurried over and called out, “Miss Ye, wait!”
Qian Chengxue saw the person from the bank approaching and stopped.
A hint of confusion appeared on her face.
Had she not completed all her business?
“You are?”
“Hello, my na is Chen Yue, and I am an employee of the Federation Bank.
This is your jewelry that was mortgaged at our bank, please take good care of it.”
“I didn’t redeem it!”
Qian Chengxue frowned slightly, puzzled.
The bank was no charity; it would not aid in tis of snow nor would it be so generous.
“Your mortgage has been cleared by a gentleman.”
“Who?”
After hearing this, Qian Chengxue was even more astonished.
It wasn’t a small amount of money; who was so generous as to pay it off for her?
“I am not at liberty to disclose that, but the gentleman asked to pass on a ssage to you.”
“What ssage.”
“He said that the necklace is better returned to its rightful owner.”
Chen Yue conveyed without missing a word.
After listening, Qian Chengxue was silent for a long ti.
Actually, she was reluctant to accept that soone had redeed sothing for her.
However, this necklace was indeed her most treasured possession.
She said to Chen Yue, “Miss Chen Yue, can you tell who paid the money so I can repay them in the future?”
“I am sorry!
Miss Ye, I cannot say, nor am I aware of that person’s identity.
Excuse for disturbing you, I will leave now.”
Chen Yue bowed to Qian Chengxue and turned to leave.
From the side, Xiao Jie watched the scene unfold.
His facial muscles twitched unexpectedly, though there was no significant change in his expression; only his gaze grew gloomier.
What he had failed to accomplish, soone else had managed, and he couldn’t even voice any objection.
Seeing Chen Yue leave, Sun Li curiously inquired of Qian Chengxue, “Sister Xue, who was so generous to redeem the necklace for you?”
“I don’t know, but I will definitely find out in the future.”
Qian Chengxue thought for a long ti but couldn’t figure out who it was.
Her initial thought was her father, Ye Tian, but she imdiately dismissed it.
Ironically, her father had been extrely caring when her mother was still around, even giving such a valuable necklace.
However, after her departure, he had not shown any concern, nor had he provided any significant financial support, much less secretly redeed it for her.
Xiao Jie gently persuaded, “This is a good thing; don’t fret over it.
Since the person was willing to redeem the necklace for you, it must be soone close to you.”
“No matter who it is, I will reimburse them.
Anyway, let’s leave that aside, I have other matters to attend to.
Mr.
Xiao Jie, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Xiao Jie responded courteously.

In an office within the Imperial Capital Center Administrative Building, the Council President was reviewing docunts.
Tang Qin hurriedly walked in.
“Council President.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Soone bought the gold points at their lowest, and now, a huge amount of gold points are missing from the market, sending those financial giants who shorted the gold points into a frenzy.”
“Those who hunt eagles all year round eventually have their eyes pecked out.
This kind of thing is common in history, but these people never learn.”
“You are right, Council President, but a lot of the gold points taken were produced by us, which is a big loss for us too.”
Tang Qin hastened to explain.
Hearing this, the old Council President put down his pen and asked in a grave voice, “How many gold points were taken?”
“1.2 billion.”
“That many?”
The Council President also furrowed his brow when he heard the number.
“Yes, now besides the reserve points held by various countries, there are barely any gold points left on the market.
That ans, apart from new ones being mined or the occasional sale within the Federation System, there are hardly any gold points left, and the exchange rate for gold points has restored itself to 2000.
Furthermore, there has been a trend of a sharp increase recently, but fortunately, mbers of the Federation have started to control it.”
