Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 40 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

Xu Chen remained silent, thinking carefully in his mind.

I still need to think about how to repay this money.

How to explain to the stubborn Brother Bing later, and how to avoid some dangers and troubles.

After all, the other party is a loan shark and is definitely not a good person.

Since I want to help Xie Bingran solve the problem, I should solve it once and for all, without leaving any tails or causing myself subsequent troubles.

Seeing Xu Chen remained silent, Li Rui guessed that "Brother Chen" didn't have any good solution.

After all, Brother Bing owed more than 30,000 yuan, which was not a small amount of money...

Xu Chen thought about it for a while and decided to cut the Gordian knot and solve the problem quickly.

Tomorrow is the selection for the City Games. Don’t let this incident delay the crucial opportunity to change the fate of “Brother Bing”.

"Find two people to go with me to get the money, and then I'll return the money at noon."

Xu Chen thought for a moment and then spoke again:

"Li Rui, go wait for me at the school gate first.

I'll go get my bank card.

Besides... I have to find someone."

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, then took another deep puff of cigarette:
"Brother Chen...it's more than 30,000, not more than 3,000 or more than 300."

Xu Chen: “I know, money is not a problem.

Hurry up, go and wait for me at the school gate."

Li Rui thought for a moment:
"Brother Chen, if you want to help Brother Bing pay back the money, why don't you tell her first?"

Xu Chen: "I can't find her now. Besides, telling her would only cause more trouble..."

Li Rui remained silent, thinking that it was indeed true.

If I tell Bing in advance, she will definitely disagree. If Chen has a way to pay back the money, it is better to do it without telling Bing.

In fact, when Li Rui pooled money with his brothers, he was considering paying it back without telling Brother Bing if he could raise the money.

Xu Chen made this decision, naturally based on his understanding of Xie Bingran's personality...

Xu Chen turned to leave, then turned back and added:
"Just two of you will do. Li Rui, bring one more person..."

Xu Chen did not linger any longer and walked quickly towards the classroom.

Zhao Feng came up and said to Li Rui:

"What do you mean? Brother Chen wants to pay back the money? That's more than 30,000 yuan..."

Li Rui exhaled white smoke:
"Since Brother Chen has spoken, it can be done."

He had experienced the department store incident with Xu Chen before, and he still believed in Xu Chen.

Although it was incredible that a high school student could come up with 30,000 yuan immediately, Li Rui still believed in Xu Chen.

Zhao Feng looked at Xu Chen's departing back and blinked his small eyes:
"So righteous! So righteous!"

He thought for a moment, then turned to Li Rui and said:

"Let's bring all the brothers along. It will be easier to get things done with more people."

Li Rui stamped out his cigarette butt:
"No! Just listen to Brother Chen. There must be a reason for his arrangement.

Besides, I know the lending side, so there is no point in bringing all the brothers along..."

As he said this, he looked back:
"Fang Tao, come with me at noon!"

A boy with a crew cut stepped forward and responded in a muffled voice.

Fang Tao, the man with a buzz cut, is the younger brother who happened to be seen taking Xu Chen and others to the department store when Xie Bingran got into trouble last time.

……

Xu Chen quickly returned to the classroom.

Most of the students went to have lunch, and a few of them were eating the lunch they brought from home.

Xu Chen returned to his seat and took out his bank card from his bag.

He searched the bag inside and out again, and finally found a blue and white card in the side pocket.

"Police-Citizen Liaison Card"

"Police officer in the jurisdiction: Chen Xinlan"...

Chen Xinlan was the female police officer who accompanied Xie Bingran for questioning at the police station last time.

This police-civilian contact card was picked up by Xu Chen when he left the police station that day. Although Xu Chen has the mind of an adult, he still looks like a high school student.

Going to a loan sharking place now would still be dangerous, not to mention Xu Chen had to carry tens of thousands of dollars in cash.

The main thing is that I don’t know what the situation is on the other side.

“If you have any difficulties, find the police” is the trust and memory engraved in our bones.

The first thing Xu Chen thought of was the police officer Chen Xinlan from last time.

She had personally asked Xie Bingran and knew something about Xie Bingran's situation.

Xu Chen also considered looking for his biological father Xu Zhiquan, as his father could be completely trusted.

But his father was in town at the moment, and it would take some time to drive over. Besides, Xu Chen didn't want to make his father worry too much.

As for the teachers at school, Xu Chen didn't trust either Zhang Liqun, Xu Chen's head teacher, or Huang Aiying, Xie Bingran's head teacher...

After walking out of the classroom, Xu Chen called Chen Xinlan.

Chen Xinlan was still a little surprised when she received Xu Chen's call.

Xu Chen quickly explained the general situation.

"Officer Chen, we high school students are a little scared to go and pay the money back.

I didn’t know who to turn to for help, so I called you.”

Chen Xinlan replied on the phone:
“You were right to make this call.

I have a rough idea of which lending company you are talking about.

Their situation is quite complicated. They have all the necessary formalities and their debt collection efforts are just skirting the fine line... To be honest, there is nothing we can do about them.

Whenever you go, I can go with you."

Xu Chen: "That's great! We just want to pay back the money and clear the debt, but we are also afraid that there may be some hidden dangers left.

If Officer Chen could come as a witness, then we wouldn't have to worry about anything.

I'll go there at noon and withdraw money from the bank first..."

Chen Xinlan: "Tell me which bank it is and I'll come over right away."

……

When Xu Chen walked out of the school gate, Li Rui and Fang Tao were already waiting at the flower bed at the entrance.

"Brother Chen."

"Accompany me to withdraw the money first. Do you know the exact amount?"

"I only know it's over 30,000, but I don't know the exact amount."

Xu Chen nodded.

Li Rui and Fang Tao paused and searched their pockets at the same time.

Four hands stretched out, each holding a handful of colorful banknotes of different denominations.

Li Rui said:

"This is what our brothers just collected. I counted it and it's about a thousand, almost two thousand..."

Xu Chen: "It's okay, I'll take care of the money."

Li Rui: "No, Brother Chen! We don't have much money, not even enough...

But we brothers must take care of Brother Bing's matter!"

Xu Chen thought about it, took the money from the two people, and stuffed it all into his pocket:

“That’s just right.

If Xie Bingran asks about it later, just say that the money for repaying the debt was collected by everyone, and don’t specifically mention how much I gave.”

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Brother Chen, this won't work... We only paid a little over a thousand yuan, but that's more than thirty thousand yuan, and almost all of it was paid by you!"

Xu Chen: "Just do as I say...

You know what kind of personality your brother Bing has. I don’t want her to feel like she owes me anything because of this matter.”

Li Rui and Fang Tao remained silent, but the looks they gave Xu Chen were serious and complicated.
