Chapter 1: The Man Who Owes Money

Next Chapter

I asked the Buddha: What if I meet someone I can love, but I am afraid that I can't grasp it?

The Buddha said: How much love does it take to stay in the world, welcome the thousand changes of the floating world, and have lovers, do happy things, don't ask whether it is a catastrophe or fate.

- Cangyang Gyatso, "Ask the Buddha"

……

"Deeply cut your wrist and I will take you to a place where there is no sadness and pain."

Ling Banxia had been lying on the ground for a long time, the sound ringing over and over again in her mind as if it was being replayed, her red and swollen eyes opened, and her gaze quickly locked on the fruit knife on the bedside table.

She got up, and crawled slowly over like a walking corpse, holding the hilt of her knife.

The blade reflected the sun's rays, like a silver snake, cold and bloodthirsty.

A weak and trance-like smile appeared on Ling Banxia's face, and he accurately slammed the blade on his left wrist and slashed it down without too much hesitation.

She fell, looking at the bright red stream left on her wrist, bubbling and flowing.

I'm dying.

I'm dying, and I don't have to face everything anymore.

……

"Open the door, open the door, open the door."

Hearing this voice vaguely, Ling Banxia ignored it, it was just an auditory hallucination.

Someone was indeed knocking on the door, but the person outside the door didn't hear a response, so they simply slammed the door open.

"What about people? Why doesn't anyone pay attention to me? Ling Banxia! I'm here to pay it back! Ling Banxiaβ€”β€”"The one who came in was a teenager, wearing a simple and refreshing T-shirt and denim, and ran in with a note, shouting and looking around for someone.

Ling Banxia was completely awakened by him, and looked at the person in front of him in a daze, "Who are you?" ”

The young man looked at her: "What are you going to ...... Suicide? ”

"Then I don't have to pay you back! Ness. The boy snapped his fingers and turned to leave.

Ling Banxia stretched out his hand to cover the wound, trying to stop the bleeding, got up and shouted with all his might: "Stop!" ……”

"What?" The boy stopped, looked back at her, not nervous at all, but said, "I won't bother you, you continue." ”

After that, he ran out of the door with a smoke, Ling Banxia struggled to stand up, shouting and chasing after him: "I'll let you stop." Do you hear that? ……”

Ling Banxia chased him out of the hotel all the way, and when he saw him enter and drive a black Porsche away, Ling Banxia quickly stopped a TAXI and sat in.

She is not a daughter, and her life was difficult when she was a child, which led to Banxia's favorite money since she was a child, and if someone owes her money, she will definitely get it back.

"Catch up with the car in front of you." Ling Banxia gasped and said to the driver, because he was in such a hurry that he forgot that this was in the United States and had to speak English.

Fortunately, this driver understood Chinese, but he saw that Ling Banxia's face was pale, his wrist was bleeding, and his right hand holding his wrist was dyed red, and persuaded her:

"Miss, I'll take you to the hospital first."

Ling Banxia's heart was now full of the person who said he owed her money, and he must ask the driver to catch up with him.

The driver sighed and could only do what she wanted.

And what Ling Banxia expected was that this person went to the hospital.

As soon as the driver stopped, he said to her, "No need to pay, let's go in." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Ling Banxia knew that the driver was worried about her life and felt the warmth of the stranger, but she didn't have time to be grateful, so she got out of the car and chased after her.

Blood flowed down the ground along her path......

As soon as she entered the gate of the hospital, her hand was caught, and Ling Banxia saw that it was this person.

"She needs first aid." He grabbed Ling Banxia's hand and said to the doctor on the side.

"Please come with me." The doctor speaks fluent Chinese.

Ling Banxia grabbed him with his bloodied right hand, "You tell me clearly, who are you?" How can you owe me money? ”

"If you want to know, you have to live well."

Ling Banxia had lost his strength, his face was pale and pale, and his whole person was paralyzed.

The young man wanted to speak and stopped, but he just hugged her horizontally and asked her to pick it up, and hurriedly ran to the emergency room.

β€œNo,just return of goods.” In the ward, as soon as the young man hung up the phone, he turned around and saw that Ling Banxia had woken up.

"How does it feel?" He asked.

Ling Banxia didn't bother to answer, and was about to get up.

"Slow down!" The boy helped her down.

"Who the hell are you? How much do you owe me? Ling Banxia asked.

The young man rolled his eyes depressedly: "Why are you still thinking about money!" I just got back from the ghost gate. ”

Ling Banxia smiled, "I like money the most." ”

"If I don't, will you come after me? Can I come to the hospital? ”

Ling Banxia looked at it carefully and confirmed that he didn't know him, "Why do you want to save me?" Do we know each other? ”

"Do you still have a reason to save people?"

"So you're lying to me? You don't owe me any money at all? Ling Banxia looked disappointed.

The young man handed over an IOU, and Ling Banxia looked at it, and it was clearly written there that Mo Jiu owed Ling Banxia 200,000 yuan, and the deadline for repayment was more than two months away from today.

The signature is indeed your own handwriting, and the ID number is also your own.

Mo Jiu, is this person's name?

"I, when did I borrow your money?" Ling Banxia was at a loss, he didn't know how to borrow money from others, let alone someone he didn't know.

"Did you forget?" Mo Jiu was pleasantly surprised, "Then I don't have to pay it back." ”

"Think beautifully!" In Ling Banxia's dictionary, it is impossible to have the words "owe money and don't pay it back". It doesn't matter if she borrows someone else's money or someone else lends her money.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on." Ling Banxia looked like a prisoner on trial, his eyes were sharp and his tone was serious.

"Do you remember that last year, your father took all your New Year's money away from you?"

"Of course I do! It's not because my mother gave him all my New Year's money to deal with the company's financial crisis, and I feel sorry for me! Ling Banxia grumbled, half-pouting.

"I borrowed the money from your dad after the crisis in your dad's company, and it was all yours, so the IOU written by your dad was your name and ID number. This signature was also written by him in imitation of your notes. ”

"Count him on a little conscience!" Ling Banxia muttered, and then asked, "How did you know my father?" ”

"They're all businessmen."

Ling Banxia looked him up and down, and he was just about the same age as himself.

"Aren't you a student?"

"I don't like to learn, I love to start a business, can't I?"

"Okay! It's good if you're happy. But how do you know where I am? Ling Banxia's eyes were a little vigilant, "Are you supposed to ...... You're stalking me, right? ”

Mo Jiu explained: "Your father told me! He said I'll just give you the money because you're in Manhattan, and I'll find you at the address he said. ”

After speaking, he handed a card to Ling Banxia: "Here are 50,000 yuan, the password is 123456, and I promise to pay off the rest before the date written here." ”

Ling Banxia took it and said with emotion: "You are really not afraid of being stolen with this password. ”

"Most people will guess 123455, just like how many college entrance examination questions 1+1 is equal to, and most candidates can't write 2."

Ling Banxia "cut" with a faint smile.

It was just a fleeting smile, but Mo Jiu clearly found it, "Laughing? That means you don't want to die, right? ”

Ling Banxia said arrogantly: "If you want to die, wait until you pay off my money." ”

"Good! Do you accept the settlement of the account? ”

"What is the occupation offset?"

"I'll cover your food and lodging to offset part of the arrears."

"Yes." Anyway, he has no place to live now, and now the money in his hand is only enough to stay in a hotel for one night, since he owes himself money, he does it for the benefit of others and himself.

"How much?"

"It depends on the environment and the food you provide."

"Don't worry, you're satisfied."

Ling Banxia couldn't help laughing again, this seemed to be said by a person selling products.

This is the VIP ward of the hospital, the environment is very good, Ling Banxia can probably guess that this person's economic strength is good. It seems that his business is still somewhat successful.

"Is your name Mo Jiu?" Ling Banxia wanted to confirm his name.

"Yes. You can also call me by my English name, Geoffrey. ”

Ling Banxia suddenly received a phone call, and the caller ID made her hesitate for a long time before connecting it.

Before he could say anything, a triumphant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Banxia, how are you doing in the United States?" Is there still a place to live? Is there something to eat? Do you want my sister to help you? ”

This person, named Ling Lianqiao, is her best friend, and they talked for a long time because of the stalk of "the same surname, and the names are all taken from traditional Chinese medicine", and then quickly developed into good girlfriends.

But just last week, she threw herself into hell. Not only is he the culprit who caused himself to be isolated and excluded at school, but he also made his biological father disgusted with him.
