527: Chapter 566: Purely Adorable 527: Chapter 566: Purely Adorable Below the steps in front of Jinrong Building, things had beco extrely chaotic.
Many people had stopped to watch the scene, while the ‘investors’ who had put money into Childe Company were rushing inside.
Ironically, the guards did not dare to do anything to them and could only try to hold them back.
With the main force already inside, holding them back seed pointless, so they simply let everyone through.
Several journalists’ vehicles drove over, coming to a halt one after another.
Journalists, photographers, and sound engineers rushed out, making the place exceptionally lively.
However, no matter how you looked at it, it was nothing more than a farce.
Song Hongye stood shoulder to shoulder with Fang Yi, watching the scene with an expressionless face.
She whispered, “Do you think…
these people are stupid?”
Fang Yi nodded, “Yeah, not just stupid, they’re incredibly stupid.
To put it simply, they’re almost brain-dead.”
“You have quite a poisonous tongue, but I like it,” Song Hongye inhaled deeply and said calmly, “Anyone can see that Childe Company, under the guise of a venture capital firm seeking investnts, was nothing more than a scam.
Giving such high interest rates, anyone with a normal brain could tell it was just a fundraising fraud.
But alas, so many fools have jumped into this well-prepared pit, which is truly laughable.”
Fang Yi suddenly burst into laughter.
Song Hongye raised her eyebrows, “What’s so funny?”
Fang Yi sighed, “Actually, I am a fool, too.”
Song Hongye looked at him, puzzled and full of confusion.
Fang Yi continued, “I started a company called Tianyi Company.
At that ti, Childe Company approached my company for a partnership.
I signed a contract with them and also transferred so funds to them.”
Song Hongye looked at him in shock, her face filled with disbelief, “You…
you an…”
“Yes,” Fang Yi said with a smile, “I’m one of the brain-dead as well.
But now, I have another identity.
I’m one of them.”
Indeed, Fang Yi had intentionally allowed Tianyi Company to sign a contract with Childe Company and invest money in it.
But that was just what Fang Yi had done deliberately, with an ulterior motive in mind.
Regardless, Fang Yi was now part of the group demanding their debts be repaid.
“You…
you…” Song Hongye stared at him as if she had seen a ghost and then chuckled helplessly, “I really can’t figure out what’s on your mind.
What exactly are you thinking?
You’ve beco part of the debt collection army?
Now that Li Xuan has been arrested and the executives of Childe Company have almost all run away, where will you get your money?”
Song Hongye’s implication was simple: now that the people have run off with the money, trying to get it back is like a daydream.
“Li Xuan’s arrest was my idea,” Fang Yi suddenly dropped this bombshell.
Song Hongye, who had been smiling, suddenly froze.
Li Xuan’s arrest was related to him?
Song Hongye understood what Fang Yi ant—that he had set a trap for Li Xuan.
But…
what did that have to do with collecting debts?
Song Hongye, despite having been involved in her family’s business from a young age and having seen many business prodigies, found the man in front of her inscrutable.
This man was the most unpredictable.
“Curious?” Suddenly, Fang Yi spoke again, unintentionally revealing Song Hongye’s thoughts.
Song Hongye didn’t hide her curiosity and nodded, “Yes, I’m curious.”
Fang Yi chuckled, “That’s a secret I can’t reveal.”
Song Hongye glared, gritting her perfectly aligned white teeth.
She had co with so expectations, but she had not anticipated that he would tease her curiosity only to leave her without answers.
It made Song Hongye feel as though her heart was being scratched by a cat’s paw.
It itched terribly!
Fang Yi had no intention of explaining to Song Hongye because the matter was too complicated, and it was also connected to the Divine Court.
The relationship between Fang Yi and Song Hongye was not bad, but it definitely was not good, especially since Song Hongye was mysteriously unpredictable.
Fang Yi felt it was best to maintain a degree of caution.
Suddenly, within the crowd, Fang Yi caught sight of a familiar, slender figure and promptly strode over.
“Qin Xin, what are you doing here?” Fang Yi asked.
Indeed, it was Qin Xin.
At that mont, Qin Xin was holding a sign, not rushing in with the others, but just standing there, steadfastly holding her sign, her jade-like face etched with mysterious stubbornness and determination.
When she saw Fang Yi, Qin Xin’s expression clearly showed panic, as if startled by him, hurriedly hiding the sign she was holding behind her back and lowering her head slightly, she said, “Brother Fang, I…”
“There’s no need to explain, I know all about it.
Did Aunt Tao go inside?” Fang Yi said.
“Mm,” Qin Xin, with her head low, pursed her lips and said, “Brother Fang, have you…
have you been cheated out of money by Childe company too?”
Fang Yi chuckled and said, “No, I was just passing by and ca to see the commotion.”
Qin Xin’s cheeks turned exceptionally red, filled with embarrassnt.
Her head hung lower, and her voice grew much fainter, “I’m sorry, Brother Fang, for letting you see this.”
“There’s no need to watch a joke; I’m not here to laugh at you,” Fang Yi shook his head and said, “How much money did your mom get cheated out of?”
“About fifty thousand yuan, plus the house that was mortgaged, about three hundred thousand altogether.”
“Hmm, don’t worry, I’ll help you get the money back,” Fang Yi comforted her.
Qin Xin suddenly lifted her head, her eyes wide with confusion as she looked at Fang Yi, “Brother Fang, no…
there’s no need, I…”
Fang Yi extended his hands to rest them on Qin Xin’s shoulders and said, “Are you trying to say you’ll get the money back yourself?
But think about it, can you do that?
If you can’t, then don’t force yourself.
Plus, in my eyes, you’re like my sister, and I’m your brother.
If I can’t even help you with this, wouldn’t it an that I am a useless brother?”
Qin Xin fell silent, feeling a warmth flowing through her heart, her eyes becoming moist, and her gaze shimring with unshed tears.
Fang Yi did not continue to offer comfort.
Turning his head to look at Song Hongye, he saw her giving him a goodbye gesture, then walking towards the Jinrong Building with a gourd in her left hand.
After about fifteen minutes or so, people started to erge from the Jinrong Building.
The first to co out were those who had scavenged sothing.
So carried computer monitors in one hand and computer towers in the other; typewriters, office supplies, water coolers, and even sofas were being carried out.
It was imaginable what kind of disastrous scene the Childe company was in now.
Among this pillaging crowd was Tao Xiuying, who had snatched an Apple laptop, along with an office chair, holding them both in her hands with great difficulty, yet showing no sign of letting go.
From a distance, Tao Xiuying saw Fang Yi and quickly called out, “Little Fang, co help Auntie carry these.”
“Don’t!” However, Qin Xin suddenly grabbed Fang Yi’s arm.
“Why?” Fang Yi looked amusedly at the girl.
“It’s soone else’s property.
Even if they can’t repay the money, we can’t do sothing only a mob would do.
Brother Fang, we must follow the law, we must absolutely uphold it!”
Qin Xin’s face was earnest.
Fang Yi looked at Qin Xin in surprise, finding the girl too naive, yet it was a naiveté that was endearing.
