Chapter 125: Chapter 125: You Truly are a Filial Son
Nine o’clock.
The bank opened promptly.
Jiang Xu was the first to enter.
He had chosen a small bank.
Big banks took more time with loans and were very strict.
In contrast, the small bank was more lax in every aspect.
After explaining his purpose, the staff handed him a form to fill out.
Once the form was completed, a member of staff reviewed it.
Then, Jiang Xu was asked to accompany a bank staff member to inspect the site.
Fortunately, the deeds of his parents’ two houses also included his name.
After all, he was their only son.
This made Jiang Xu’s task easier.
Otherwise, the owners themselves would have to be present at the site.
All the properties were of excellent quality.
Only the one bought from Li Honghong was slightly substandard.
In the end, for these five houses, the bank granted a total loan of nine million five hundred thousand.
The term was ten years, with the option of early repayment, for a small additional fee.
According to Jiang Xu’s plan.
It would all be paid back within a year at most.
Loan money would be transferred within three business days.
Exiting the bank, Jiang Xu took a deep breath.
Everything was settled.
He now had sufficient funds, so the two hundred thousand was no longer needed.
He quickly put the money back to where it belonged.
That way, if his parents discovered it, he could minimize the trouble he’d be in.
On the way, he also bought some emergency heart pills from a roadside store.
They were to prevent any heart problems that his parents might experience once they learned the truth.
Looked at this way, Jiang Xu really was a very filial son.
In the afternoon, he arrived at the school.
As soon as he entered the classroom, An Nuonuo voiced her concern, “Have you been having some trouble recently? You’ve been taking leaves frequently. Is there any way I can help?”
Jiang Xu replied, “Indeed, there is. I lack a wife. Can you help with that?”
An Nuonuo solemnly responded, “I’m not joking with you.”
“Really, there’s no issue,” Jiang Xu said, rubbing her head. “If there was, I’d certainly ask for your help first.”
An Nuonuo asked, “You’re not lying to me?”
Jiang Xu swore, “I promise. If I’m lying, may I be punished by having to marry you.”
An Nuonuo pouted and didn’t say anything.
But seeing that Jiang Xu could still joke with her, it was likely that there was no major problem.
Jiang Xu’s gaze shifted to Fu Yanjie.
The kid was grinning stupidly with a book in his hands, oblivious that he was holding it upside down.
Obviously, he was fantasizing about some wonderful story with that Jingjing girl again.
That’s it.
The seven commandments he’d imparted to Yanjie yesterday seemed to have been of no use.
Such a waste.
Readers might think he was padding his word count.
After school in the afternoon, Jiang Xu asked An Nuonuo to go home by herself first.
He quietly followed behind Fu Yanjie.
He was curious to see if this bootlicker would do anything unexpected.
As expected, Yanjie met with Jingjing again.
In the morning, she had been wearing jeans with black stockings.
In the afternoon, she had changed into a pink dress that reached her knees.
He wasn’t sure if her skin was really so white or if it was makeup.
In any case, she was glowing white.
Fu Yanjie, an innocent young boy, was unable to tear his eyes away from her appearance.
What a disgrace.
After they met, Jingjing leaned in close.
She gently intertwined her arm with Yanjie’s.
From afar, Jiang Xu could clearly see the boy’s body tremble, shaking all over.
Really, it was disgraceful. Was it that big a deal?
She only touched him a little, right?
Jingjing’s lips curled up slightly.
After accidentally getting to know this naïve, rich little lad.
With only a bit of manipulation, he had him spinning in circles.
In just a few days of acquaintance, he had lavishly spent quite a sum on her.
And today, she was supposed to trick him into a big project.
“Sister Jingjing, where exactly are we going?”
“To my place, I’ll cook for you.”
Fu Yanjie suddenly became quite excited.
According to the dating guide he looked up online last night.
A girl would only take a guy home when she was utterly trusting and very fond of him.
Did Sister Jingjing already have feelings rooted deep for him?
In Fu Yanjie’s mind, scenes of lessons taught by various teachers emerged involuntarily.
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at a rental house, on the second floor.
Jingjing opened the door with her key, then pulled Fu Yanjie in.
Jiang Xu stood at the base of this rental building.
Slung in his mouth a lollipop he casually bought at a shop en route.
Unless a miracle happened, Fu Yanjie was likely to come across mishap.
Looks like the lad was going to fall for a scheming scam.
As expected.
He didn’t wait long.
Jiang Xu saw two tall and ferocious men, their faces fiercely grim.
Tattoos marked their arms walked into the rental building.
Jiang Xu shook his head.
Told himself in the heart, “If it weren’t for the fact that you once called me Dad, I wouldn’t bother.”
He pulled out his mobile phone and dialed Fu Xinghan’s number.
He had kept this number from the time they signed the contract.
Indeed, he saved it, thinking he might need it one day.
Upon being connected, Fu Xinghan’s steady voice came from the other end.
Jiang Xu greeted with a laugh, “Uncle, hello, this is Jiang Xu.”
The moment Jiang Xu was recognized, the tone on the other end immediately relaxed.
“Oh, it’s you, Jiang Xu, what’s up? What can I do for you?”
Jiang Xu forthrightly told him everything about how Fu Yanjie fell for the scam after being a sycophant.
He had no idea about what the other party might be capable of.
If there were any extremely vicious characters in their organization.
That would be troublesome to deal with, which could even put him in danger.
It would be better to let Fu Xinghan, who had a strong hold in the area, deal with it.
“Such an idiot! How did I end up with a son like this? I’ll go and thrash him up now.”
Fu Xinghan was utterly furious after hearing the description from Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu quickly said, “Uncle, we cannot let him know that you know about this.
Otherwise, I’m sure it will severely hurt his self-esteem at his age.
Now you can send some men he knows over.
Save him first, and then investigate the origin of those people.
And then get rid of them.”
Fu Xinghan applauded, “You’re quite measured in handling affairs, Jiang Xu.
Where are you? I’ll have men sent over right away.”
Jiang Xu gave an address.
After hanging up, he quietly waited.
About fifteen minutes later, the men Fu Xinghan dispatched arrived.
Good grief! When Jiang Xu saw them, he was simply stunned.
With such a large crowd, there were at least a hundred people.
Were they mobilizing for a village raid?
The man leading the group approached and respectfully said, “Is this Brother Jiang Xu?”
Jiang Xu nodded, “Yes, it’s me. Nice to meet you, let’s wait here.”
Once those cunning men and women come down.
Seeing this scene, they would probably be scared and weak at the knees.
When these people came, Fu Xinghan had delegated that they completely follow Jiang Xu’s command.
Therefore, after listening to Jiang Xu, they dispersed.
Not much time later, the crooked fellows came down.
Jingjing was in the lead.
A smile beaming on her face that she couldn’t suppress.
However, right after going down the stairs and seeing the sight below, her body jolted violently.
