Chapter 0005: The Consequences

Oh!

Run! Why aren't you running?" Brother Tuchan and his two companions caught up, surrounding Qin Heqing and Guaqiao in a semi-circle, hands on their hips, panting, and with a menacing demeanor, they mocked.

"Uncle, it's just a little money I owe you, right? I'm not refusing to pay it back. Is it really necessary to pursue me so relentlessly?" After catching her breath for a moment, Kakehashi Sayaka pushed herself up from the ground, brushed off the dust from her clothes, and while carefully inspecting the scrape on her palm from the fall, she complained with a twitch of her lips.

In the next moment, A Jing, Brother Tsuchida, and another young man with a thin build, dyed yellow hair, and a haggard appearance indicative of excessive late nights and physical exhaustion, with triangular eyes, stepped down from the van and purposefully approached Qin Heqing and Kakehashi Sayaka, who were walking slowly.

Perhaps it was due to the overly tense relationship, or perhaps other reasons, but the girl, Sayaka Kakehashi, who had been subconsciously pulling Qin Heqing to escape, suddenly stumbled and fell out.

"You little brat, how dare you meddle in our affairs? I see you are tired of living!" Bald-headed Tutiang's expression stiffened as he glared fiercely at Qin, who was protecting Kizaki Sayaka behind him, and spoke in a cold voice

Run forward and backward, running and running

Ah!

Qin and Qing stumbled out a few steps near the hanging bridge of Shaya Xiang, before steadying themselves and coming to a halt

After all, no matter how one puts it, he is someone with a legacy, be it in swordsmanship or martial arts, he still possesses some skills—well, although they are all inherited from his original self, one could say they are at a half-baked level, and he has not really engaged in any serious combat...

This time, Qin and Qing, who had been standing by, could no longer remain uninvolved. Suddenly, they turned around and raised a foot, kicking A Jing, who was pulling on Hangqiao Sayaka, to the ground.

"How much does she owe you?" Qin and Qing furrowed their brows, and Ning looked at the land in front of them for a moment before inquiring.

"What, are you reluctant? If that's the case, then don't act tough here, pretending to be a hero. Just roll over to the side quietly, or else you'll face the consequences!" Tuchan saw that Qin and Qing did not respond, and his expression changed again, filled with mockery and a cold sneer as he reprimanded them.

"Stinky woman, stop right there!" shouted Brother Tuchan. At the same time, I also quickened my pace and chased after her.

"Is there anything that cannot be discussed properly? Pulling and tugging like this is ridiculous." Qin and Qing glanced at the flick knife in the hands of the yellow-haired man, slightly furrowing their brows, and then their gaze returned to the bald man, Tuchan.

It is just that he cannot quite understand how an idol trainee, who is unemployed and even has to invest money, managed to deceive over seven hundred thousand from a group of loan sharks

Thud

Not much, just over 700,000. What, do you want to pay it back for her?" Tuchan raised an eyebrow and asked with a somewhat ambiguous tone.

Kuaqiao Sayaka sensed it and instinctively grabbed Qin and Qing's arms without hesitation, immediately running back along the path they had come from

"Two hundred thousand is too much, I do not have it, at most only one hundred thousand. If you want it, take it, and then let us go, do not... then I can only fight with all my might." Qin and Qing negotiated, their tone resolute, fully expressing their determination and bottom line.

Then, A-Jing, who had originally been kicked aside, stepped forward again and reached out towards Kakehashi Sayaka.

Of course, this refers to her being unqualified, which has prevented her from becoming an official member of Nogizaka 46. Otherwise, although it would still be quite difficult to recover, it is not impossible to do so within a short period of time.

That is not up to you

As he spoke, Brother Tuchan's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, A Jing swiftly moved to Sayaka Kakehashi's side and grabbed her arm.

Over seven hundred thousand ... ... Qin and Qing remained silent, but their understanding of Kakehashi Sayaka deepened increasingly.

In terms of physical fitness and athletic ability, the debt collectors are not significantly stronger than the weak woman, Sayaka Kakehashi.

Fortunately, she changed into flat shoes out of concern for encountering debt collectors, fearing she would not be able to escape; otherwise, her situation would likely have been even worse

No. Seeing that she could not avoid the hanging bridge, Sayaka straightened her neck, hardened her face, and answered defiantly.

"Talk? Sure, as long as you are willing to kneel down and apologize, and let that woman behind you pay back the money you owe us, I guarantee that my brothers and I will greet you with smiles just like we do with service personnel, without laying a finger on you." Tuchan said coldly, with an air of having Qin and Qing completely at his mercy.

Fine, one hundred thousand it is!

"If you want us to let her go for the time being, that is acceptable; give us 200,000, and I will take the responsibility to temporarily spare you." Tuchan scrutinized Qin Heqing for a while, seemingly assessing his worth, and after a long pause, finally stated his conditions.

What else can be done? Is it a case of losing both talent and opportunity? Or perhaps after both sides suffer losses, one takes the woman away, leaving behind a troublesome situation

However, it is not the case that, like ordinary people, upon seeing a member of a certain group or a knife, one becomes flustered and panicked

One hundred thousand... Tuchan was somewhat dissatisfied with this price, but seeing the situation, he could understand that this was the bottom line for Qin and Qing. After hesitating for a moment and gritting his teeth, he ultimately agreed.

"No? If not, then you can repay with your body! It's just that this kind of high school student is in vogue right now. With your looks, I believe it won't take long for you to earn enough money to pay off your debts." Brother Tuchida looked at Hangqiao Sayaka with a sneer, examining her like a product.

Kuaqiao Shayekang evaded, while Qin and Qing once again opened A Jing's palm

Suddenly, Guoqiao Shayexiang's expression changed, and she hid behind Qin Heqing, saying, "I won't go with you!"

"Still? If you were capable of repaying the money, how could they possibly send us to personally collect the debt from you?" Brother Tudian, with a completely bald head, sneered and impatiently said, "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and repay the money."

As for Qin and Qing, he was also compelled to start running under the pull of Guoqiao Shaye Xiang, becoming a target pursued by the three debt collectors, including Tuchan.

Especially with the posture of the blonde, who looked like a junkie, pulling out a knife, the situation instantly transformed from debt collection to a brawl.

Ah! Let go, you let go of me!" Guoqiao Sayaka was terrified, screaming, gripping Qin Heqing's arm as if it were a lifeline, refusing to let go, resisting A Jing's pull.

"Fifty thousand? Are you trying to throw money at a beggar?" Tuchan's eyes flickered, and he pretended to shout in dissatisfaction.

Don't say it, it really is quite imposing

I can help her repay you 50,000 first in exchange for you granting her an additional two days, how about that? Qin and Qing looked at the decision-maker, Tuchan, negotiating.

Over seven hundred thousand, which is roughly equivalent to two or three months' living expenses for an average working-class family, becomes an astronomical figure when applied to ordinary laborers. Even if one refrains from eating and drinking and works two jobs a day, it would take nearly half a year to earn that amount. Moreover, considering the additional expenses related to practicing life skills, it is estimated that there is no hope of achieving this within two to three years.

Is it based on the fruit photo

"Then how much do you want to let her go?" Qin Heqing frowned and asked again
