Something's Wrong

Qin Qinghan finally nodded, but immediately she was puzzled and asked, "Mom, didn't you just say Dad lost 100,000? How did it become 80,000?"

Hearing this, Yang Yu's face was visibly somewhat embarrassed, and then she mumbled, "Today...today when you weren't home, Mom took your ring to pawn."

When Qin Qinghan's face changed, Yang Yu snorted again, "What billion dollar Emerald Gem ring, it was just a high-end imitation at best, I thought it could sell for a lot, but it only got 20,000 yuan in the end."

After hearing Yang Yu's words, Qin Qinghan's face became even more ugly, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions. At this moment, she suddenly realized why Ye Fengwu's face was so ugly after getting the ring. It turned out that he already knew the ring was no longer the original ring.

But he didn't expose her on the spot, and just left without saying anything instead.

Thinking of this, Qin Qinghan's eyes turned red with anxiety. She blamed, "Mom, how could you take my stuff, do you know, I just returned the ring to him today, how would he see me if he knew the ring was swapped."

Yang Yu snorted impatiently, "What's the point of returning it to him, he ate and lived for free at our house, the ring was a bargain for him."

Qin Qinghan was ashamed, and said bitterly, "Mom, you don't know anything, I already kicked him out today."

Yang Yu was slightly stunned, and said, "Good thing you kicked him out, eating our food for free, and giving you an imitation ring while bragging arrogantly, hmph..."

Qin Qinghan shook her head helplessly, but the urgent matter now was to first save her dad, then get the ring back later.

But she barely had any friends around her, let alone someone who could lend her 100,000 yuan.

After tossing and turning sleeplessly for a night, the next morning, Qin Qinghan finally got through to Chen Nan's phone.

"Qinghan, I'm busy, what's up?" Chen Nan picked up after a few rings.

Qin Qinghan hesitated for a moment before stammering, "Chen Nan, could you...lend me 80,000 yuan?"

"80,000..." Chen Nan was startled at first, then asked, "Did something happen to you?"

Qin Qinghan didn't dare tell Chen Nan the truth, and said, "I...I want to transfer Qingsi to another school, so I'm in a hurry."

Chen Nan directly said, "I can transfer 50,000 to you immediately, I'll have the remaining 30,000 for you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Chen Nan, 50,000 is enough."

Chen Nan said, "Okay, I'll transfer it to you right away. Same as always, if you're in trouble, you must call me."

"Okay, thanks!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Qinghan looked for an app on her phone. Her car cost just over 70,000, and had been driven less than two years, so it should sell for around 30,000-40,000 yuan.

Since Gao He had only given her one day, Qin Qinghan couldn't wait until Chen Nan's 30,000 tomorrow, so she chose to sell her own car instead.

But because she was too anxious, she only managed to sell the car for 30,000.

Clutching the 80,000 yuan, Qin Qinghan arrived at the address Yang Yu gave her, a very large chess and card room.

The card room was already packed at this time, and most of the card players were young people, each with a roguish air, which made Qin Qinghan's mind instinctively tense up.

When the gorgeous Qin Qinghan with her graceful temperament suddenly walked into the smoky card room, the noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Some even whistled at Qin Qinghan.

"Hey beauty, wanna play too? Come to our table, guaranteed you'll make money."

Then, a youth with tattoos all over his arm leered at Qin Qinghan and said.

"Beauty, come to our table, what you win is yours, what you lose is on me."

Many people extended invitations to Qin Qinghan.

Qin Qinghan's face was wary as she nervously asked, "I...I'm looking for Gao He, I want him to release my dad."

Hearing this, the tattooed youth got up and came to Qin Qinghan, with faint amusement in his eyes, and laughed, "You must be Qin Qinghan, you really are a great beauty, much prettier than those movie stars."

Qin Qinghan clenched her red lips and said, "Please."

The youth waved his hand at Qin Qinghan and said, "Follow me."

Then he walked inside.

Qin Qinghan followed behind and was directly led into an office inside.

The moment the door opened, the first thing Qin Qinghan saw was Qin Zhi. At this time, Qin Zhi was not tied up, but sitting on a chair, only his body was stiff and his face deathly pale.

Seeing Qin Qinghan, Qin Zhi immediately cried, "Qinghan, dad has wronged you, it's all dad's greed, you must save your dad!"

On the other side in a swivel chair sat a man smoking a cigar, looking to be in his thirties, with an originally fierce face made even more sinister by a jagged scar.

This was Gao He, the boss of this chess and card room. During the day the room ran a normal business, then at night he would start organizing some shady gambling events.

Seeing Qin Qinghan, Gao He was also clearly shocked and stunned, thinking to himself that Liu Fu was right after all, Qin Qinghan was far superior to movie stars in both temperament and beauty.

When Qin Qinghan saw Qin Zhi, her nose soured up, but she knew she couldn't appear too weak. So she directly put the bag containing 80,000 yuan in cash on the table and said to Gao He, "This is 80,000 yuan, please let my dad go."

Gao He blew out a smoke ring, an amused smile on his face, "80,000, that was yesterday's price. Today...there's a new price."

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan was clearly angry and said indignantly, "You...how can you do this, I brought the money to you on time."

Gao He leaned back in the recliner chair, his lustful gaze freely roaming over Qin Qinghan's body, cursing her conservative dress.

Then he said, "What your dad did was very serious. In our business, the biggest taboo is cheating, but your dad just happened to touch on this point. So without 200,000, this afternoon at 5 pm, I'll have someone send an arm over to you."

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan became both angry and afraid, while Qin Zhi urgently pleaded, "Qinghan, I didn't cheat, they framed me, they deliberately set a trap for me."

Although Qin Qinghan believed her dad's words, right now her dad was in their hands, whatever they said goes, she could only comply.

After a long while, Qin Qinghan gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, 200,000 I can only give you tomorrow, but you have to promise not to harm my dad."

Gao He said amusedly, "Beauty, today it's 200,000, tomorrow it may become 400,000, so you'd better hurry."

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan became even more furious, "What exactly do you want to release my dad, we have no enmity with you."

Qin Qinghan was gentle in personality, but extremely astute in mind. She could see that Gao He had no intention of releasing her dad at all.

Gao He put out his cigar in the ashtray, an amused smile on his face, "I'll give you a chance, go to a dinner party tomorrow night, as long as you go, your dad can go home safe and sound, and the debt your dad owes me can be written off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Qinghan was shocked, wide-eyed. So this was their goal all along, just to get her to attend a dinner party, they didn't hesitate to set a trap and frame her dad.

But Qin Qinghan had her own principles, she shook her head and said, "I will pay back the money, but I won't attend the dinner party you mentioned."

Gao He seemed to have expected Qin Qinghan would say this. He calmly said, "In that case, just wait to receive your dad's arm. Also, don't even think about going to the police, otherwise what you'll be receiving won't be your dad's arm, but...his corpse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhi turned white with fright, but still gritted his teeth and urged Qin Qinghan, "Qinghan, dad will bear the consequences of his own actions, you cannot go to that dinner party."

After listening to Qin Zhi's words, Gao He frowned and the tattooed young man next to him immediately punched Qin Zhi in the face, splitting his mouth open.

Seeing this, Qin Qinghan anxiously shouted, "Stop, I'll go..."

Qin Zhi spit out some bloody saliva and said, "Qinghan, you can't go."

Gao He laughed and said, "Weren't you r*ped by a strong man eight years ago? Why do you care so much about your body?"

Qin Qinghan's face was icy as he looked at Gao He and said, "Tell me the time and place, I'll go, but you also have to keep your promise."

Seeing Qin Qinghan agree, Gao He finally smiled satisfied and said, "Don't worry, as long as you arrive at Fenghao Hotel at 8 pm sharp tomorrow night, your father will leave here."

"It's a deal," Qin Qinghan said coldly, and then said to Qin Zhi, "Dad, you'll get out of here."

After that, Qin Qinghan left the chess and card room without even looking back, not even taking the 80,000 yuan.
