"Why on earth is that, dad?" Han Fei asks first.
"Who is w.a.n.g Qiang, dad?" Han Lu also asks.
"Dongtao, is there a story about it?" Sun Xiaomei thinks to herself.
The three women all stare at Han Dongtao, seeming that they have discovered what he tries to conceal.
Han Dongtao has hardly recovered from the shock. Keeping his voice down, he says painfully, "Stop thinking nonsense. I don't tell you because it's for your own good."
"It doesn't matter if I'll die or not. But I can't put you in danger."
"Money is not so important. We can pay a billion yuan for the safeness of our family. What's so bad about it? Remember, the world is far more horrible than you could imagine. Possessing huge wealth is no better than living simply. I hope our family can live a simple and happy life."
Han Lu and Han Fei look at each other and then become depressed. They are too young to help their father, for which they feel self-condemned and guilty.
Sun Xiaomei keeps sighing. She knows Han Dongtao best, and she understands that everything Han Dongtao has done is for the Han Family. There were a lot of doubts in her mind. What Han Dongtao said makes her even more confused. She just holds Han Dongtao's hand tightly to convey her understanding and support.
"Dad, is it really so serious?" Li Yong is also influenced by Han Dongtao's words, which makes him more confused. The world is very horrible indeed, but it's unlikely to scare people like this.
After a moment of silence, Han Dongtao suddenly asks in a low voice, "Xiaoyong, how do you know w.a.n.g Qiang?"
"I have a college cla.s.smate and his name is w.a.n.g Qiang." Li Yong laughs.
"Xiaoyong, tell me the truth." Han Dongtao says seriously.
So Li Yong explains briefly to Han Dongtao about what happened when he went to Lulu Pharmaceutical Company to look for Han Lu just now. Hearing what he said, Han Dongtao pats his shoulder gently and sighs, "Xiaoyong, you are the only hope for our family to make a comeback. I'll be away for a while in a few days. You must take good care of them."
Then he looks at his wife and two daughters. They are his greatest wealth.
"Dad, where are you going?" Han Lu and Han Fei ask at the same time.
"I'm going to meet a friend. Don't worry about me. I'll be back soon." Han Dongtao forces a smile.
"Dad, is w.a.n.g Qiang so terrible?" Li Yong asks again, for he is really curious about this man.
"Yes, very terrible." Han Dongtao replies absent-mindedly.
"Then I'll talk to him." Li Yong clenches his fists in anger.
"Xiaoyong, don't be silly. You won't be able to see him." Han Dongtao persuades him.
"Is he in the capital?" Li Yong asks.
"No one knows where he is." Han Dongtao sighs.
Li Yong thinks to himself that it's better that w.a.n.g Qiang isn't in the capital. If he is, Li Yong won't be so sure.
This reminds him of the last time that he was pointed at the head by a gun. He is not powerful enough now to go to the capital. He can only have a try when he completely cultivates the Reviving Method to the sixth level and can be able to avoid bullets.
When building the medicinal material base in Lotus Town, he practiced hard every night but he only made slow progress.
They keep silent for a while, and then Han Dongtao asks, "Xiaoyong, when can you raise 300 million yuan?"
"In about three months!" Li Yong replies. He has already figured it out in his mind. His money, plus his house, is worth only over 30 million yuan, and it is far from 300 million.
He must try hard to make money and strive to earn 300 million yuan in three months.
"Three months? It's too long. We only have three days to pay off the debt. If we don't, it will be very troublesome and may be dangerous for us all." Han Dongtao says with fear.
"I will protect you." Li Yong says firmly.
"No one can protect us." Han Dongtao says with a gloomy face, looking as if he grows much older all of a sudden.
"Let me have a try. If I can't raise 300 million, I'll use the company to pay the debt." Li Yong says helplessly.
"It's the only way. Good boy, I'm counting on you." A flash of light shows in Han Dongtao's eyes, and then he pats Li Yong's shoulder again, "I have to go now. When you get the money, just transfer it into that account."
"Thank you for helping us through this." Sun Xiaomei says with great emotion.
"Dad, Mom." When Han Dongtao and Sun Xiaomei walk out hand in hand, Han Lu and Han Fei shout, unwilling to part with their parents.
"Take good care of your grandpa." Han Dongtao says, and then walks out of the office.
"Take care of yourselves." After saying this, Sun Xiaomei leaves with her face in hands.
The door is shut gently, as if the parents and the children were separated forever.
Han Lu and Han Fei burst into tears and want to go after them. But they are stopped by Li Yong, who holds Han Lu into his left arm and grabs Han Fei with his right hand. The two women are already in tears. But they are the bosses of the company. This will not only damage their image, but also cause panic to the employees.
After a while, they gradually calm down. Han Lu gnashes her teeth and says, "It must be the tricks of the Zhao Family. Zhao Dazhou and his son Zhao Hongyu are really bad."
"Besides, the Wu Family and the Feng Family are taking this opportunity to add to the misfortunes of us." Han Fei also says angrily.
"We must try harder to make a comeback." Han Lu says firmly.
"If we can't pay off the debt, mom and dad would go to jail." Han Fei bursts into tears again.
Han Lu looks at Li Yong and asks seriously, "Xiaoyong, are you sure you can help us?"
"300 million yuan is just a piece of cake for me." Li Yong says with a smile. But in his heart, he is not relaxed at all. He has only three days to raise 300 million, which is too urgent.
However, his relaxation makes Han Lu and Han Fei more relaxed. At the moment, they choose to believe in Li Yong, and their eyes are full of grat.i.tude.
Han Lu is grateful especially, for she has never given Li Yong anything, and didn't expect Li Yong to really help her.
"Brother Yong, if there's anything I can do, just tell me," Han Fei says earnestly.
"Me too." Han Lu whispers. She feels somewhat constraint in front of Li Yong unexpectedly.
Li Yong looks at each of them, who have the same haircuts and wear the same tops. They are really eye-catching, but look a little bit haggard with their gloomy faces, making people feel sad for them. Li Yong coughs and says, "Give me a smile, ladies."
Hearing this, Han Lu looks more gloomy.
But Han Fei gives him a smile and asks, "Brother Yong, is this all right?"
"Be more happy." Li Yong encourages her.
Han Fei grins finally, revealing both rows of white teeth and a lovely little dimple. The smile is so bright, just like the warm suns.h.i.+ne in winter. She asks again, "Brother Yong, how about this?"
Li Yong nods with satisfaction and smiles, "That's it." Then he looks at Han Lu who is still frowning and says, "Give me a smile, dear."
"I can't." Han Lu sighs.
"If you don't, how can I have the motivation to raise money?"
"I..." Han Lu tries and finally shows a smile.
"Just let go and laugh out loud." Li Yong continues to encourage them.
"Brother Yong, look at me." Han Fei suddenly pokes Han Lu in her armpit. Han Lu bursts into laughter, looking sweet and lovely.
"What I want you to do is so simple. Just be happy, relaxed and confident. Because happiness shows your confidence and it can be pa.s.sed on. As long as you two are happy, the whole company will be filled with happiness and make more benefits."
At the moment, they hear a knock on the door. Deng Hongli walks in cautiously. When she sees Li Yong, she gives a smile just for a second.
But then she finds that Han Lu and Han Fei are both smiling, so she smiles again and says cheerfully, "President Han, the finance department has added up the debt receivable. The total amount is 18.3 million yuan. Five million can be recovered within three days, but the rest is difficult to recover within a short time."
Han Fei stands up and smiles, "OK, everyone is working hard. Now inform everyone to get off work."
"OK." Deng Hongli leaves the office to inform the staff, who burst into cheers immediately.
Now it's already 11:00 p.m. They have never worked so late before.
After the staff have left, Li Yong leaves the company with Han Lu and Han Fei.
When they walk out of the company, Li Yong sees Deng Hongli and Liu Xiaoyue standing on the side of the road and looking at him. The two women wave their hands, as if they are waiting for him.
Li Yong doesn't go over, instead, he takes Han Lu and Han Fei directly to the parking lot, and then drives away.
Since Han Dongtao has sold all the properties except for the villa that Han Lu lives in now, Han Fei moves back. The servants and bodyguards are also dismissed. Lyu Chun is the only one that still stays in the family.
"Can you cook?" Li Yong asks Lyu Chun who is cultivating in her room.
"Just a little." Lyu Chun opens her eyes reluctantly and replies.
"From now on, you'll be responsible for cooking at home. Now, go and make some food." Li Yong asks. He is very hungry now. On the way back, he suggested to go to a restaurant but refused by Han Lu, who're counting every cent now. The 300 million of debt gives her a lot of pressure.
"Why? I am a bodyguard." Lyu Chun is dissatisfied with this immediately.
"If you don't, I'll take back the mental cultivation method. And you're not able to cultivate anymore." Li Yong says seriously. He really has no good temper to this 60-year-old woman.
"OK! I'll just go." Lyu Chun jumps out of bed, drawling the word "go" very long.
Half an hour later, when Han Lu and Han Fei get out of the shower, wearing s.e.xy nightdresses and going downstairs to have instant noodles, Lyu Chun has already cooked the food. The living room is filled with delicious aroma.
It's really unexpected that Lyu Chun is able to cook, which makes them very happy.
