A rare opportunity

Chapter 270 Blockage

Xing Wu, who was on his way, suddenly heard someone shouting:

"Xing Wu! You bastard, where have you been all this time? You don't pay me back the money you owe me, are you still thinking of shirking your debt?"

Xing Wu looked closely and found that Dou Jinsuo was looking at him angrily! He knew that he wanted to get information, so he shouted angrily:

"You Dou, you are such a jerk. It's just a small amount of money. Why the hell do you care? Just wait there. I will return it to you!"

Then he said to Xing Xuewen who was looking at him doubtfully with an embarrassed face:

"Master! Um... please wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon!"

"What's wrong with you? Isn't your salary enough? Why are you borrowing money from others?"

Xing Xuewen asked.

"Well... that's right, actually I didn't borrow money from him. I just didn't pay for the things I bought from him! Please wait here for a moment, I will settle the bill with him, so that he won't think that I will default on his debt!"

Xing Wu hesitated.

"Oh! Then go ahead! I won't wait for you!"

Xing Xuewen frowned.

"Master, you better wait for me! I...I'm afraid that if I let you go back by yourself, Madam will blame me again!"

Xing Wu said hurriedly.

Xing Xuewen didn't know how sick his mother was, so he was eager to go home! He couldn't help but frown again, but when he saw Xing Wu's anxious expression, he knew that the debt he owed was not as simple as he said! The reason why he wanted to stay and wait for him was probably because he wanted to use himself to intimidate the other party. Although Xing Wu was just a servant in their family, they had been together for many years and had some feelings for each other. Seeing his begging expression, it was difficult to refuse, so he sighed and said:

"Oh! All right! But you have to hurry up!"

Xing Wu couldn't help showing gratitude when he heard this, so he bowed to Xing Xuewen and said:

"Thank you, young master! Please rest assured, I will be back soon!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked to Dou Jinsuo who was far away, deliberately lowered his voice, and said angrily:

"Dou, you are going too far! I only owe you a small amount of money, do you really want to embarrass me in front of the young master?"

"Haha! If I don't do this, you won't return it!"

Dou Jinsuo also deliberately lowered his voice.

Xing Wu glanced at Xing Xuewen in the distance, pulled him aside, and whispered:

"I know why you are here! Go and inform Master Wu that Tong Lingfeng is busy and will not be here for a while."

Then he raised his voice again and said:

"Don't worry! I will definitely return it to you in two days!"

"You've said this countless times, and I haven't seen you pay me back a penny! Do you still want to cheat me?"

Dou Jinsuo couldn't help but speak loudly.

Xing Wu seemed a little flustered and reached out to cover his mouth, whispering:

"Keep your voice down! Don't let my master hear it!"

Dou Jinsuo took the opportunity to let his men who were hiding and eavesdropping nearby quickly pass the news to Li Yu, while he stayed behind and continued to whisper with Xing Wu in order to delay Xing Xuewen's return to the Xing Mansion as much as possible.

Seeing them mumbling for a long time in the distance, Xing Xuewen could tell from the few words that Xing Wu must have owed a large sum of money. He probably couldn't pay it back now! Seeing that it was almost noon, Xing Xuewen seemed a little impatient and asked loudly:

"Butler! How much do you owe him?"

"Master! Don't worry, it's not much money!"

Xing Wu replied hurriedly.

"Haha! You don't have much money? Indeed, a hundred taels of silver is nothing in the eyes of rich people like you! Since you don't have much money, then please pay it back today!"

Dou Jinsuo said with a look of sarcasm on his face.

Dou Jinsuo's words shocked Xing Xuewen! One hundred taels of silver! With so much money, what on earth was Xing Wu doing? How did he owe so much money? He was originally thinking that if Xing Wu owed ten or eight taels, he would pay it back for him. But this much was beyond his ability!

Xing Wu heard this and said anxiously:

"Dou, you are talking nonsense! I only borrowed fifty taels. When did it become one hundred taels?"

"Am I talking nonsense? The principal you borrowed was indeed fifty taels, but what about the interest? We had a certificate at the beginning!"

Dou Jinsuo said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Xing Xuewen knew that Xing Wu must have borrowed money at high interest rates. Although he didn't know why he borrowed money, he saw that he was a little evasive, so he thought it must be something bad, so he didn't bother to care about him. He was also unwilling to wait any longer, so he waved his hands to his men and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves was heard in the distance, followed by a voice:

"Xuewen! Why don't you go home and see your mother? Why are you staying here?"

Xing Xuewen turned around and saw that his uncle Tong Lingfeng was rushing over with a dozen followers!

When Dou Jinsuo saw Tong Lingfeng coming, he didn't dare to delay and disappeared without a trace! The reason why he ran so fast was that he was afraid that Tong Lingfeng would recognize him. Secondly, he also wanted to inform Li Yu and the others in time.

"Uncle! You're here! Xing Wu just met a debt collector and was delayed here for a while! Hey, housekeeper, where is that person?"

While Xing Xuewen was explaining to Tong Lingfeng, he turned around and looked at Xing Wu, only to find that Xing Wu was the only one left there!

"Haha! Uncle is still so powerful! When the guy surnamed Dou saw Uncle coming, he was so scared that he pissed his shit and ran away immediately!"

"Debt collection? What debt?"

Tong Lingfeng naturally ignored Xing Wu's compliments and asked in confusion.

Without waiting for Xing Xuewen to answer, Xing Wu spoke first:

"Reporting to my uncle! Those are just some personal debts I owe. It's no big deal. I will pay him back later!"

Although Xing Xuewen knew that Xing Wu was lying, he did not point it out. He naturally knew his uncle's character, and if he knew that Xing Wu owed so much money, Xing Wu would definitely be punished.

Tong Lingfeng looked at Xing Xuewen suspiciously. He thought, could this kid have owed money? He knew Xing Wu's character. Apart from drinking, he had no other bad habits. He couldn't believe that he owed money!

Looking at his uncle's eyes, Xing Xuewen felt a bit bitter and couldn't say anything! He wanted to tell the truth, but if he did so, Xing Wu would definitely be beaten up, and he might even lose his life! So he could only pretend to be confused and said to Tong Lingfeng:

"Since my uncle has arrived, let's go home quickly!"

Tong Lingfeng suspected that the so-called debt was owed by his nephew for his misdeeds. But after all, he couldn't verify it now, and could only wait until he saw his sister! He nodded to Xing Xuewen immediately, and then took more than 20 people to rush to Xing's house!
