Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

"Twenty years ago, I met Yao Hong by chance. He had just started his real estate business at that time and had a huge capital demand, but it took a long time for him to get a bank loan. He said that casinos can make money quickly, so he supported me in purchasing a bar to turn it into a casino. When I went to the bank to get a loan, he guaranteed me and used his connections to attract many wealthy people. The bar was just a cover, and the bets made by the wealthy were unimaginable. They brought high profits to the casino."

"As the casino grew, it became a place where both big and small bets could be taken, and anyone who came to the bar could participate. Gradually, a large number of borrowers accumulated, so they took the opportunity to start loan sharking, with an interest rate of 5 to 8 percent, which was the icing on the cake. Even so, Yao Hong was still not satisfied, and turned the loan sharking business into an underground money house, lending to all kinds of people, those who needed to buy houses or cars, those with bad credit, and those who needed to make large investments..."

"We made a lot of money in the casino and bank for a few years. Yao Hong was in charge of the accounts, and I only participated in the dividends, which were not small. After a few years, the bar was often checked by the police and became increasingly unsafe. Yao Hong said he had connections with car manufacturers, so he encouraged me to open a 4S store. That year, I got the agency rights of three 4S stores. After that, we made more money and continued to get the agency rights of several car brands."

"In recent years, there have been more and more car brands, and the sales of many old brands have stagnated. Bank loans have gradually become unpayable, and the manufacturers' orders and sales tasks have not been completed. The rebates from the manufacturers are also not available, and many stores have been closed one after another, breaking the capital chain."

"Even so, there's nothing that can't be overcome. What I've earned before is enough for you."

"A few months ago, because of the arson incident at the bar, the police were slowly looking for clues about the casino and the bank. Yao Hong stayed out of it completely, and I realized that for so many years, I had been a puppet, making money for Yao Hong. I was the lender at the bank and the person responsible for the casino. If the police found out, I would be the one to cover it. So, I wanted to cash out the bar and the remaining profitable stores as soon as possible and get away from Yao Hong. Even if the police found clues about the casino and the bank, I didn't run away, so at least I could leave enough for you."

Combined with what Song Qiaoran said before, Qi Xiangtian basically grasped the situation. He asked: "You were hit in Xijing. Was it Yao Hong who did it?"

Qi Jinye hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Probably. I have fallen out with him now, and he knows I want to get away from him. He is afraid that I might betray him if I am found out, so he sent someone to scare me."

"Then why would he allow Song Siyao to help you? He could have easily told Song Siyao about you kidnapping Song Qiaoran."

"He's not that stupid. He was the one who ordered this. He doesn't want to be an enemy of Song Siyao in public. Besides, I have a lot of leverage over him. Who's afraid of who?"

"You are responsible for the investigation of the casinos and money houses. Regardless of whether Yao Hong is there or not, you are involved in the casinos and money houses." Qi Xiangtian said.

Qi Jinye said: "I'm willing to give it my all. Even if I have something to do, I have to take care of everything. What should be left for you must be given to you."

"I don't need you to leave me anything. I've lived well without you for all these years." Qi Xiangtian said, "Those things that didn't originally belong to you, if you lose them, they're gone."

Qi Jinye sat back on the sofa. "That's impossible. No one can buy my legitimate business. I haven't been doing this for nothing all these years."
