At this moment, Cheng Junan completely put aside the displeasure brought by Wang Zheng and quickly thought about how to please Mr. Pepes.

However, what Pepes said next was like a bucket of cold water over his head, no, ice water.

"Cheng Junan, your father borrowed another $20 million from Mousse Company last month, for a period of one month. Do you know about this" Pepes said with a forced smile.

"What Twenty million dollars" Cheng Junan was shocked: "Mr. Pepes, that's impossible! Twenty million dollars is not a small sum! If he needs to borrow more money, he would definitely tell me!"

Twenty million dollars—that's 130 million yuan, how long would it take for him to earn back such an amount How could this be possible!

Cheng Junan knew that although his family company was still doing well, they definitely wouldn't need such a huge sum of money to keep the business running.

"If you don't believe me, you can call your father and verify it." Pepes looked at Cheng Junan and said: "I have no reason to lie about this matter. Your father has accumulated a massive gambling debt with Ho Hung Noh in Macau and had no choice but to borrow money from me."

Cheng Junan was alarmed; both he and his father were heavy gamblers, but how could his father owe such an astronomical amount Twenty million dollars! Was he out of his mind

Cheng Junan knew that Pepes had no reason to deceive him, but this matter was too serious for him not to verify it.

When Cheng Jun'an heard the voice on his phone saying "temporarily unable to connect," his heart sank.

Could it be that his father was really in so much debt that he couldn't pay back a high-interest loan and had started running away

At this moment, Cheng Jun'an tried calling his mother again. Fortunately, the phone connected.

"Is my dad at home" Cheng Jun'an asked solemnly.

"Jun'an, your father hasn't been home for a week now, and I can't reach him..." The woman on the other end of the line sounded無奈。

"A whole week Why didn't you tell me earlier" Cheng Jun'an shouted. He sensed something was wrong.

"He used to be like this before as well, staying at casinos in Macau and often not turning his phone on for a whole week..." His mother said委屈ly: "Didn't you use to do the same thing too"

Cheng Jun'an hung up the call directly. The face of this film and television superstar was as dark as water!

If his father really had fled because he couldn't repay this huge sum, then the debt would fall upon him to pay!

Pepys smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, Cheng Jun'an. The deadline for your father's repayment is one month. It has already been extended by three days, so according to the agreement, his payment amount has reached thirty million US dollars."

Predatory lending is indeed an extremely terrifying thing. You must never get involved with it, or you might end up losing your entire life!

"Thirty million US dollars" Cheng Junan really wanted to shout at the old man across from him: "Why don’t you just rob someone instead" However, he lacked the courage to do so. The rules of predatory lending are such that if one fails to repay on time, interest will compound and reach an extremely terrifying amount!

"T-this..." Cheng Junan's previous arrogance had completely vanished; now, he stuttered, unsure how to proceed.

Wang Zheng admired Pepys with approval. This old man was putting up a decent performance, knowing exactly what Wang Zheng wanted and acting accordingly without being told. Although the guy seemed somewhat sly, he still made for an effective assistant.

Seeing Wang Zheng's approving gaze, Pepys felt rather proud; it didn’t often present itself with such opportunities to showcase oneself in front of the Eastern Tyrant King. Since he had already pledged loyalty to his new master, he needed to demonstrate his worth now.

"Mr Cheng Junan, I would like to kindly remind you again: if this month passes and you still haven’t repaid your loan, the principal plus accrued interest will amount to forty million US dollars. In terms of RMB, that’s about...

...two billion five hundred million yuan!"

Two billion five hundred million yuan! Cheng Junan felt dizzy and nearly collapsed on the spot!

Cheng Junan was well aware that these predatory lenders were heartless people who wouldn’t leave any bones behind. Once they targeted someone, that person's life would never be good again.

Although he earned a lot from his acting roles and endorsements, Cheng Junan also spent lavishly, losing several tens of millions in the casinos every year. He now only had about fifty million yuan left, which was far short of the loan amount!

Lee Lan, who previously appeared arrogant, could hardly believe the dramatic turn of events and was shocked into silence.

Mr. Cheng Junan, don't doubt the truth of what I said. If you still have any doubts, go to Mousse's Hong Kong branch and they will tell you the exact figures," Although Pepys was somewhat lecherous, his usual high position allowed him to exude an air of authority at this moment, causing Cheng Junan's body to involuntarily shiver!

"Since we've met today, it must be fate. Otherwise, our next meeting won't be as pleasant," Pepys' words undoubtedly put immense pressure on Cheng Junan, making his teeth begin to chatter.

"Go borrow money, and borrow all you can. Otherwise, the interest will escalate to an unimaginable extent." Pepys suddenly leaned forward, a chilling tone in his voice: "If you can't pay up, then your life is on the line."

Cheng Junan's body collapsed onto the chair; he didn't doubt for a moment the truth of what Pepys had said. Two billion and fifty million yuan—would borrowing from all his friends be enough

"You are openly threatening the safety of citizens. I am calling the police!" Li Lan suddenly stood up, taking out her phone to call the police.

"If reporting to the police is useful, then try it! Stupid woman!" Cheng Junan turned around and shouted at Li Lan. His face was flushed red, with veins bulging on his neck—a far cry from his usual handsome appearance!

Li Lan was so frightened that she froze; her phone slipped from her hand without her noticing. She never imagined this man who had once taken her to the peak of desire would shout at her in such a disgraceful manner.

"Mr. Pepys, I will repay your money on time," Cheng Junan collected himself and walked out.

"You did well," Wang Zheng glanced at Pepys, who was still sitting upright and immersed in his performance, and praised him.

"It is my honor to serve the master as a dog or horse," Pepys said respectfully.did you say you couldn't give me happiness" Zhang Miaomiao asked: "Since you have no connection with Shangguan Shishi, why can't you accept me Am I really that bad""No, you're very good," Wang Zheng s...
