Chapter 107 Trash?Third release, ask for recommendation tickets?
Ge Dongxu grew angrier as he listened, but his gaze on Jiang Lili gradually became filled with deep sympathy.
It turned out that the two men from just now, one named Duan Qiaoxue, and the other Jin Ma, were two friends her father had met early last year while doing business.
In the beginning, they both seemed very generous and loyal. They not only paid promptly in their business dealings with her father but would also take small losses upon themselves rather than letting her father bear them. Thus, through their back-and-forth interactions, her father came to regard them as confidants, and Jiang Lili, having met them, would enthusiastically call them "uncle".
However, this relationship underwent a drastic change after a gambling event some days ago. In that gambling bout, not only did her father lose all his savings, but in his bet-blinded state, he also mortgaged their house to the bank to get more funds to continue gambling. In the end, he lost all the borrowed money and, completely maddened by his losses, begged his two friends to act as guarantors for a loan of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan from another gambler. He promptly wrote an IOU and continued to gamble, only to continue losing.
Her father wanted to borrow even more when those two so-called good friends, Duan Qiaoxue and Jin Ma, saw he had nothing left to offer and refused to guarantee any more loans. Moreover, they had been coming to their house every day to press for repayment, claiming they had guaranteed the loan out of goodwill. Now the creditor was pressing them for the repayment daily, and they also mentioned that the creditor was involved in the underworld. If the money wasn't repaid soon, there would be serious trouble.
At that point, her father started to realize that his two "friends" had set him up in a scam. Naturally, he cursed at them and refused to pay the debt.
Seeing Jiang Lili's father refuse to repay the debt, the two men showed their true colors. Not only did they have someone take her father to a place and beat him up, but they also showed him the IOU, saying that it was black on white, debts must be repaid, and that no matter where they argued, her father was in the wrong. Moreover, they warned her father that they had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world, and he better not try anything, or it wouldn't just be a matter of repaying the money in the end.
Jiang Lili's family was just an ordinary household and knew those people were capable of anything. Naturally, they didn't dare make a scene, and her father had since been left somewhat dazed from the incident and took to heavy drinking. What was worse was that those people would still come to their door demanding the debt.
Jiang Lili, feeling helpless, cried and begged them to show mercy and spare her family, promising to repay the money once she started earning.
Those two scumbags, whom she used to warmly call "uncle," then leered at her chest, saying that could work as well, as long as she was willing to please them really well, they could delay the debt.
And then, the incident from earlier unfolded.
"Scum! They are nothing but scum!" A youthful Ge Dongxu, upon hearing the story, felt for the first time the urge to kill.
But Ge Dongxu quickly suppressed this murderous impulse, knowing they lived in a lawful society where all should be left to legal judgment. Moreover, with Zuo Le present, Ge Dongxu was confident they wouldn't escape severe legal punishment.
"Dongxu, I know you're capable, and you know many people. Please help me, our family really has not a penny left, our house is gone, and my dad has even borrowed a lot from relatives and friends. We really can't pay them back!" After saying this, Jiang Lili clutched Ge Dongxu's arm and pleaded with tears.
"Hmph, repay what money? Rest assured, I will make sure these scumbags get jailed!" Ge Dongxu, in his anger, didn't bother to correct Jiang Lili's address of him as "Dongxu" and spoke with a cold face.
"Really? But I heard they have connections in both the underworld and legitimate world. There was even a time they beat someone so badly, my mom called the police. When the police came and saw the IOU my dad wrote, they didn't say a word and left," Jiang Lili said, both excited and worried.

"Don't worry! This time, not just them but even the people backing them won't get away with it!" Ge Dongxu declared coldly.
"Dongxu, was that Mr. Lin just now the owner of the Changxi Grand Hotel? And who is Chief Zuo he mentioned? Is he a government official?" Jiang Lili, seeing Ge Dongxu's confident demeanor, had her eyes filled with deep hope.
"Yes, the chubby one just now is the owner of the Changxi Grand Hotel, and the Chief Zuo mentioned is the chief of the Public Security Bureau in our county," Ge Dongxu nodded and said.
"Ah! The chief of the Public Security Bureau!" On hearing this, Jiang Lili's mouth flew open, and she couldn't recover her senses for a long time.
For ordinary people, especially a high school student, the chief of the Public Security Bureau is an enormously important official. Furthermore, since the Public Security Bureau is a law enforcement department, it further highlights the chief's status in the eyes of ordinary people.
"That's right, so you don't need to worry," Ge Dongxu nodded and told her.
"Ah, I'm not worried, I'm not worried. Thank you, Dongxu. You must ask Chief Zuo to punish those bad people severely!" As soon as Ge Dongxu spoke, Jiang Lili finally snapped out of it, hurriedly nodding repeatedly. And in her excitement, she even bowed to Ge Dongxu.
Jiang Lili already had a large chest, and since she wasn't wearing a bra, her bending over suddenly caused her neckline to stretch widely, hanging down, seeming even more enticing than when she wasn't wearing one, which frightened Ge Dongxu into quickly turning his head away, with a wry smile he said, "You better hurry up and put on your clothes, and don't call me Dongxu in the future. What if other students from school hear you?"
"Got it, Dongxu. I'll just call you that in private from now on," Jiang Lili saw Ge Dongxu turn his head away, and not only did she not feel dejected, but there was even a hint of mischief in her eyes. She leaned in close to Ge Dongxu's ear and whispered sweetly, then, without avoiding Ge Dongxu, she started getting undressed right there in the room.
Ge Dongxu inadvertently turned his head back, saw a flash of white, and quickly turned away again, saying, "Hey, Jiang Lili, don't go too far, we're still just students!"
"What's too far about it? Anyway, you've already seen it before, and there wasn't a problem, right?" Jiang Lili responded nonchalantly.
"How can that be the same?" Ge Dongxu replied irritably.
"So you're saying, Dongxu, that you did feel something? Hehe, it seems you're not as pure as you pretended to be in front of us before, right? Could it be you've spied on me before?" Jiang Lili had a naturally cheerful and lively personality. Thinking that her ordeal was finally about to end and the bad guys were going to be punished, she felt a cathartic joy, regaining some of her usual vivacity and spiciness.
"Ahem!" Ge Dongxu turned a little red with Jiang Lili's question.
"Giggle!" Seeing Ge Dongxu blush, Jiang Lili laughed out loud.
Seeing Jiang Lili laugh out loud, Ge Dongxu stopped blushing. In fact, he let out a sigh of relief.
He knew that after experiencing something like that, it's inevitable for a girl to be left with some psychological scars. The fact that Lili could laugh out loud meant that her condition was relatively good.
