Dragon Hidden in the Sky

The tenement building was filled with all sorts of smells.

The entire place was dirty and chaotic, and had an extremely pungent smell of paint.

As he climbed the stairs, he noticed lines of words sprayed in red paint around the perimeter of the staircase!

"Li Yan, pay me back!"

"Paying back debts is a matter of course, but Li Yan borrowed money and didn't pay it back!"

"die!"

……

Such words filled the entire corridor.

Ye Qing frowned deeply upon seeing this.

These debt collectors are resorting to any means necessary. They're trying to ruin Li Yan's reputation and put pressure on her.

Before long, they arrived at a door on the fifth floor!

The doors and walls were also sprayed with all sorts of paint.

Li Yan opened the door and said, "Come in!"

Ye Qing entered the room.

The room had an extremely pungent medicinal smell.

The room wasn't large, but it was quite clean, indicating that these people hadn't broken in.

The room was about ten square meters, with a cabinet, two beds, a table, and several stacked stools next to it.

A cloth was used to separate the two beds.

Li Yan brought over a stool and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this!"

Ye Qing shook her head and said, "No..."

"Wait a moment!" Li Yan said, then she walked behind the cloth.

Ye Qing leaned back and looked down, and he saw a person lying on the bed.

If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Li Yan's sick father.

Li Yan whispered to him, "Dad, it's alright now, you should rest!"

The person on the bed didn't speak, but Ye Qing heard soft sobbing.

Li Yan sighed, then walked to the front of the cabinet and pulled it open!

Inside the closet, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, a beautiful young woman in a school uniform, was huddled up. When she saw Li Yan, she rushed out and hugged Li Yan tightly, saying, "Sister, sister, are you alright!"

Li Yan shook her head and said, "It's alright, it's alright, they're all gone!"

"That's good, that's good!" The girl released Li Yan and patted her rather large breasts.

At this moment, she also noticed Ye Qing and immediately became nervous again.

"It's alright, he's my friend. You comfort Dad first, I need to take care of something!" Li Yan said.

"Oh!" The girl looked at Ye Qing curiously.

My sister's friend?

Since her sister's accident, none of her sister's friends have come to visit her home for a long time.

After dealing with all of this, Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She went to face Ye Qing, looking even more haggard.

Even as a man, Ye Qing found this situation exhausting to watch.

He had no idea how Li Yan had managed to get through those three years.

Moreover, she is very beautiful. If she really wanted to make money through improper means, it wouldn't be difficult for her, but she has always stuck to her principles!

To be honest, after seeing this, Ye Qing felt a deep sense of admiration for her.

"There's not much to drink at home!" Li Yan said with a wry smile.

"It's alright, it's alright!" Ye Qing said. "Were those people debt collectors? Is the 'Young Master Zhang' they were talking about Zhang Zijie?"

"Hmm!" Li Yan smiled bitterly, then sighed.

"Zhang Zijie...isn't he from the Zhang family? The Zhang family is involved in mortgage lending?" Ye Qing asked in surprise.

According to the information he had, Li Yan borrowed money at high interest rates, but a business like the Zhang family's wouldn't need to engage in such a business.

“Sigh, I lost my job at the Zhang family's place because of him,” Li Yan said.

"Huh?" Ye Qing asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

“Zhang Zijie is incredibly lecherous. In fact, quite a few girls in the Zhang family company have been sexually harassed by him,” Li Yan said with a wry smile.

Ye Qing's brows furrowed deeply.

Zhang Zijie had previously come over and said that Lin Qianyu had to marry him, and Ye Qing thought he was Lin Qianyu's lapdog.

It turns out that this guy was pretty clever with his tricks.

However, it's normal for rich kids to have extravagant lifestyles.

As for Lin Qianyu, firstly, it's probably because Lin Qianyu is very beautiful. Secondly, it's probably because he pursued Lin Qianyu but never succeeded; what he couldn't have was always the best, so he wanted to possess her.

“I have a good relationship with your sister. Although she works at the Zhang family's company, Zhang Tiancheng still has to give her some face!” Li Yan said. “Zhang Zijie also tried to harass me back then, but he didn’t succeed because your sister was there!”

"Later, your sister disappeared, and he started openly harassing me. He knew about my family situation, so he threatened me..." Li Yan said, her eyes glistening with tears again, "He demanded that I sleep with him, or he would fire me!"

“I didn’t want to, and he…he really fired me,” Li Yan said. “But Zhang Zijie is a psychopath…”

“I tried to find a job at other companies, but he always ruined it. Most companies in Jiangcheng have to give him face,” Li Yan said. “Later, I could only do some low-paying part-time jobs!”

“But my father’s illness was too expensive, and I had no choice but to take out online loans. Later…” Li Yan said with a bitter smile, “A former colleague of mine said he knew a loan company where I could borrow money, but the interest rate was very high… At that time, I was really desperate, so I borrowed from them!”

"Later I found out that this loan company was run by Zhang Zijie and some other people in society. They would lend money to pretty young girls, and if they couldn't pay it back, they would pay it back with their bodies... When Zhang Zijie got tired of sleeping with them, he would send them to clubs..." Li Yan said.

Ye Qing was stunned when she heard this!

Zhang Zijie, he really knows how to play the game!

"How much money do you owe him?" Ye Qing asked.

Li Yan said, "I borrowed 500,000 yuan at the time, and now it has ballooned to more than 1 million yuan due to interest."

At this point, she seemed quite helpless.

There's over a million here, plus some online loans...

This number is quite large. He asked in confusion, "I wonder what disease Uncle has?"

Li Yan remained silent, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter further. Then, she composed herself, looked up at Ye Qing, and forced a smile, saying, "You came to see me to ask about Yingying, right?"

She changed the subject.

Ye Qing nodded, and was just about to speak when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"boom!"

A short while later, someone suddenly kicked the door open, and their not-so-sturdy door was instantly kicked open, slamming into the wall behind it with a loud bang!
