The boss looked up at her and glanced at Lin En. His eyes stayed on Lynn for a moment, as if he could see something unusual, but he didn't show much emotion.
"Sorry, miss, we don't provide free consultation services here." The boss continued to wipe the cup, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Instead of being frightened by his attitude, Kate put his hand directly on the bar and approached a little bit, "We are here to ask Lisa. She works here, right?"
The boss's movement paused for a moment, then he showed a malicious smile, "Lisa? Are you talking about that beautiful blonde girl? She does work here, but I think her affairs should have nothing to do with you."
"Don't talk nonsense." Kate's voice suddenly became cold, and there was a dangerous sharpness in his eyes. "I know her affairs are unrelated to your bar. She owes money, right? Are you in touch with it? , introduce her to those creditors? ”
The boss's face changed slightly, but he soon returned to calm. He put down the cup in his hand, supported his hands on the bar, and said in a low tone, "Little girl, do you know what you are talking about? I am just a bar, just to make money to support my family. As for whom Lisa owes, it is her own Something about it."
Kate was about to refute, but Lynn reached out to stop him. Lynn took a step forward, his tone was calm and unquestionable, "You know Lisa's debt problems, and you know that she has been threatened because of these debts. I don't care about you in this matter What role did you play, but if you keep hiding it, I promise you will have more trouble."
The boss's eyes met Lynn, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and tried to see through Lynn's identity, but finally snorted coldly and leaned back.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" He finally spoke, a hint of impatientness in his tone.
"Who is forcing Lisa?" Lynn's voice was low and cold, "Who does she owe?"
The boss hesitated for a moment, obviously not willing to say it, but under Lynn's suffocating gaze, he finally spoke, "Cavana Group. She owes them money, those people are not good at it."
"How did you get involved?" Kate asked immediately, his eyes filled with anger, "Don't tell me you're totally innocent."
The boss sighed and spread his hands, "She came to me and said she needed money and asked me if I could help her. I just gave her a 'opportunity' to make some extra money working here. She is a Sir, don't blame me for your own choice."
Kate's fists clenched, his tone getting colder, "You know she has no other choice, and you're taking advantage of her."
Lynn reached out and pressed Kate's shoulder, signaling her to calm down. Then he turned to the boss, his tone still cold, "When will these people come to the door?"
The boss hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's been the last two days. They have been urging me recently and say that if they don't pay back the money, they will take action."
Lynn nodded and said coldly, "Okay. I hope you remember that if they come here again, you have to tell me the first time."
The boss snorted, as if reluctant, but nodded, "Okay, I'll pay attention."
Kate looked at the boss's expression and his anger still did not fade, but Lynn's calmness prevented her from continuing to attack. She took a deep breath and pulled Lynn to turn away from the bar.
Walking down the street, Kate finally couldn't help but speak, "Lynn, we can't sit still. Those people will really attack Lisa."
Lynn's eyes were as calm as ice, and he whispered, "I know. So, we have to find a more effective way before they do it."
Kate looked into his eyes and nodded after a moment, "I believe you. But we can't fail, Lynn. Lisa's safety depends on us."
Lin Neng's mouth pursed slightly and didn't say anything.
As night fell, Lynn and Kate stood outside an abandoned warehouse, the glimmer of neon lights reflected on the wet ground, and the whole scene exuded a dangerous atmosphere. This is the trading location selected by the creditor - Kavana Group. Lynn's hands were in the pocket of the windbreaker, his eyes cold and sharp. Beside him, Kate held the bag strap, his face seemed calm, but Lynn knew that she was burning with anxiety and anger.
"Are you sure we can solve the problem like this?" Kate asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone. "These people are not the kind of reasoning."
"There are many ways to solve the problem." Lynn's voice was low and steady, with his usual calmness, "but first, we need to know their bottom line and what tricks they are playing."
Kaite nodded, but her fingertips turned slightly white due to tension. She had seen Lynn's calmness and decisiveness, but this time it was different - it was not an ordinary case, but the dilemma of her best friend.
A few minutes later, a man in a dark suit walked out of the warehouse, followed by two tall bodyguards. There was a hypocritical smile on his face, and the professional indifference made people see his danger at a glance.
"You are here to pay off Lisa's debt?" the man asked in a hint of mocking tone, looking up and down at Lynn and Kate.
"Yes." Lynn's voice was calm and firm. He took out a file bag from his windbreaker and handed it to the other party. "This is 25,000 US dollars, full payment. I hope you will let her go after you get the money .”
The man did not rush to pick up the file bag, but sneered, "Twenty-five thousand dollars? This is indeed the amount Lisa owed, but things are not that simple, my friend. We extended the deadline several times, and the fees were still paid. I have tried a lot of effort to remind her. I think the current value of this debt is no longer something that can be solved by 25,000."
Kate widened his eyes, suppressing his anger in his tone, "What did you say? You know her situation, but you still raise the price?"
The man turned his head and glanced at Kate, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Business is business, little sweetheart. Do you think we are doing charity?"
"Don't talk nonsense to her." Lynn interrupted, his voice as low as a piece of ice, "How much do you want?"
The man's expression instantly became greedy, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, "Fifty thousand."
"Fifty thousand?" Kate shouted out almost out of control, "Are you crazy? You are blackmailing!"
The man shrugged and looked innocent, "Whatever you say, 50,000 is the current price. If you don't want to pay it back, let Lisa continue to work, maybe she can earn some money for us." Something back."
Kate's face turned pale with anger. He was about to rush forward to argue, but Lynn raised his hand to stop him. He was not very move, but he had unquestionable power.
"We won't give you 50,000." Lynn's tone was still calm, but his tone was as low as a repressed thunder. "You have taken enough benefits. If you don't accept 25,000, then this money will be fine. I won't give you any points."
The man's smile disappeared, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Lynn coldly, "Are you threatening me, friend? Do you know who you are talking to?"
"I know." Lynn looked back at him without any retreat, his eyes as cold as a blade. "I also know that you guys have no intention of letting Lisa leave at all. Even if we give 50,000, you will find others I kept pestering her with excuses.”
The man's face changed, and he obviously didn't expect Lynn to see so thoroughly. His hand was slowly clenched, and then he signaled the bodyguard behind him to take a step forward.
"Friend, I don't like your attitude." The man's voice became low and dangerous. "We have rules for doing things, but if you have to make trouble, we won't be polite."
The bodyguard took a step closer to Lynn, and his tall shadow enveloped him in the shadow. But Lynn didn't even blink his eyes, and his hand had moved silently toward his waist.
Kate immediately realized that the atmosphere was already tense, her heart beat faster and forced herself to calm down, "Wait a moment! Don't do it!"
She stood beside Lynn, trying to ease the atmosphere, "We can talk - 25,000 is all we can raise. If you raise the price, it will only make things more complicated. We are not here to make trouble. , we just want to solve the problem."
The man glanced at Kate, as if he was a little appreciating her posture, but his tone was still threatening, "Little Sweetheart, no one in this world can get something for nothing. You must pay the price."
"Price?" Lynn sneered, his voice was filled with chills, "So, why not try the price you can bear?"
His hands were already firmly placed on the handle of the gun, his eyes shudderingly cold. The two bodyguards obviously noticed Lynn's actions, and they looked at each other, as if confirming what to do next.
The scene became depressing in an instant, and there seemed to be a tight sense of danger in the air.
The man was silent for a few seconds and finally showed a stiff smile, "Okay, friend, it seems you have the courage. But you better remember that we are not just relying on scaring people to live."
He waved his hand and signaled the bodyguard to retreat, then took the file bag from Lynn, opened it and took a look, "Twenty-five...you are lucky. We collected this money and from then on, we will have a account with Lisa from now on One stroke is written off.”
"You better remember your words." Lynn's tone was still suffocating. "If I hear you trouble Lisa again, I will make you regret today's decision."
The man's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at Lynn in a drowning look, but in the end he said nothing. He turned and walked into the warehouse, and the two bodyguards followed closely and closed the door heavily.
Kate stood there, taking a deep breath, trying to calm down his inner tension. She turned to look at Lynn and found that his expression was still calm, but his eyes were filled with an unquestionable determination.
"Linn..." Kate said softly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I didn't know what to do."
Lynn glanced at her, calming his tone, "This isn't over yet. Lisa is safe now, but I don't believe these people will stop there."
Kaite nodded, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "Anyway, I appreciate you for your help. Lisa's fate cannot be ruined by these people."
Lynn didn't answer, but just took a deep look at the direction of the warehouse, then turned around and left.
Late at night, Lynn and Kate finally returned to the hotel. The lights in the hall were dim and soft, only the front desk staff were yawning, while the corridor was empty, making it look particularly quiet. Kate didn't say a word, walking beside Lynn, the fatigue on her face mixed with complex emotions, which made her look a little uneasy.
"Are you okay?" Lynn asked in a low voice, breaking the silence. He glanced at Kate with a rare tenderness in his tone.
Kate stopped, leaned against the wall of the corridor, and took a deep breath, "I don't know. Those people just now were simply total bastards. I can't believe that Lisa has been facing it alone for so long... She has to bear it How much pressure did Lynn? I can't imagine it at all."
Lynn stared at her, with a little more complexity in her eyes, "Lisa did take a lot, but she's safe now. That's the most important thing."
Kaite nodded, but a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, "I just...I just feel like I've missed too much. She's my best friend, but I don't know anything. She's been through so much , but I didn't realize it until now. Lynn, this makes me feel like a bad friend."
"You're already doing everything you can." Lynn's voice was low and firm, as if trying to calm her heart down. "Sometimes, people don't say it because they don't want others to see their own. Fragile. You're not a bad friend, Kate. Lisa needs time, she needs to know, and someone supports her."
Kate pursed his lips and sniffed, "You're right. I can't let her continue like this. She needs a change, a new beginning."
Lynn didn't say anything anymore, just nodded. The two continued to walk towards the room.
When I returned to Lisa's room, the door was already empty and the light inside was shining. Kate knocked on the door, pushed open it and walked in, Lynn followed behind her. The air in the room was a little dull, and Lisa sat by the window, holding her knees in her hands and looking down at the floor. She didn't seem to hear them coming in.
"Lisa." Kate called her softly, walked to her and sat by the bed.
Lisa raised her head, her eyes red, obviously she had just cried. She tried to squeeze out a smile, but the smile seemed extremely reluctant, "You guys are back."
"We solved your debt problem," Kate said bluntly, with a stubborn determination in his tone, "You don't need to worry about those people going to cause trouble for you anymore."
Lisa's eyes widened for a moment, then lowered her head and murmured, "You shouldn't interfere... This is not your business, I originally planned to solve it myself."
"You can't solve it at all, Lisa." Kate's tone suddenly became intense, with a mixture of anger and heartache, "Are you facing these bastards alone? Use your body, use your dignity? You know I don't know how these people will force you to? You have no chance at all!"
