Earning Money to Repay Debts

"Boss, are you alright?"

The car stopped, and a young man jogged out from the driver's seat.

"I'm fine. Have the driver go check up ahead. If the car's still there, tow it away." With someone here, Gu Mingwei's expression finally improved.

He pointed ahead, telling the tow truck driver to see if that wreck had been hauled off.

Li Chen immediately told the driver to go look, then waited there for the boss to speak.

Gu Mingwei nodded, didn't mention leaving, but instead turned back to the person behind him and asked, "Brother, what's your bank card number? I'll have someone transfer the money to you."

Li Chen followed the direction his boss turned, and saw him asking a younger man for his bank card number. He wasn't sure if he'd misheard, but he felt a hint of respect in his boss's tone.

The thought flashed through his mind, then he quickly dismissed it.

This guy didn't look like any young master from a wealthy family. The boss acting so polite, he usually only showed that attitude to a select few people.

"Here's my bank card. Just transfer the money to this card."

Lu Chengchuan took out his bank card, letting him transfer the money there. With this three million, he could not only pay off his debts from the past few years, but also have a good amount left over.

Gu Mingwei took the bank card and turned to hand it to his secretary. "Li, transfer three million to this card, directly from the special funds account. Get the money transferred as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Boss." Li Chen took the bank card, even more puzzled.

"Brother, the money will take about an hour to arrive. How about we find a place to wait?"

Since the money couldn't arrive immediately, Gu Mingwei thought for a moment and invited him for tea.

He was deliberately trying to build a good relationship with him. After all, he had witnessed the other man's strength, and there was no harm in building a good relationship with someone like that. Who knew when he might need it.

"Sure, let's find a place to wait."

Lu Chengchuan didn't want to just sit here, and since the big boss was offering, he readily agreed.

"Great, great. What do I call you, brother?"

Up until now, Gu Mingwei still didn't know his name.

"Lu Chengchuan. Just call me by my name," Lu Chengchuan said casually.

"Brother Chengchuan, please. I remember there's a decent tea restaurant around here. Let's go have a seat."

That's what he said, but there was no way Gu Mingwei would call him by his name directly.

After inviting Lu Chengchuan into the car, he turned to his wife and children and said, "You guys go home first. I'm going to talk with Brother Chengchuan. Be careful on the way back."

Gu Mingwei had specifically called for two cars so they could go home first and not disturb his conversation with Lu Chengchuan.

Everyone got into the cars, and the two luxury cars drove off in different directions.

Secretary Li Chen drove them to the tea restaurant. A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the restaurant, and the three of them got out. Li Chen jogged ahead to reserve a private room.

Li Chen arranged everything perfectly, so the two of them didn't have to do anything.

"Brother Chengchuan, are you a local?"

The secretary waited outside. Only the two of them were in the private room. At the table, Gu Mingwei took the initiative to start a conversation.

Lu Chengchuan responded casually. He knew what Gu Mingwei was thinking – he just wanted to improve their relationship.

"What kind of work does Boss Gu do?"

"Me? I do some real estate projects, nothing much to talk about. If you ever need a house, brother, just come find me. I'm not a big boss or anything, but I do have a few plots of land on hand."

Speaking of himself, Gu Mingwei's words carried a hint of smugness.

"Thanks, but I'm not interested in houses," Lu Chengchuan said, shaking his head.

"If you need anything, brother, just say the word. I have some connections in Anyang City."

"I'd rather not trouble you."

Gu Mingwei put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression, "There's no such thing as trouble. We all trouble each other. The more we trouble each other, the better our relationship becomes."

Something about that didn't sound right, but Lu Chengchuan couldn't quite put his finger on it.

However, since he said that, Lu Chengchuan thought about the martial arts and, after thinking for a while, he put down his chopsticks. "I'm interested in martial arts. Real martial arts, not those fake displays."

"Martial arts..."

Learning that he was interested in this, Gu Mingwei began to think.

Lu Chengchuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. He had already hinted very clearly, so Gu Mingwei should definitely be able to understand.

The lunch-afternoon tea lasted nearly fifty minutes. When it was almost time, his phone rang with a message notification. The full three million had arrived.

"Boss Gu, it's about time. I have something else to do."

With the money in hand, Lu Chengchuan hinted that he wanted to leave.

Of course, Gu Mingwei understood what he meant and immediately stood up. "Where are you going, brother? Let me give you a ride."

"Then I'll have to thank you."

Lu Chengchuan didn't refuse, gave a location, and the two of them left the private room.

"Li, let's go. We'll take Mr. Lu back first." Gu Mingwei came out and found his secretary, ready to leave.

The secretary drove Lu Chengchuan home. Looking at the dilapidated street, Gu Mingwei grew even more curious. This place didn't look great; he was surprised Lu Chengchuan would live here.

However, he didn't show it on his face. After saying goodbye to Lu Chengchuan, the luxury car turned around and left.

Lu Chengchuan returned to his rented apartment and found his mother at home. Not only her, but there were also two relatives.

"Aunt, cousin, hello."

The visitors were his mother's younger sister and her daughter. The three of them were sitting in the small living room, and his mother was chatting with her sister.

Seeing him return, his aunt looked incredulous. "Xiao Chuan? You're really better!"

Huang Yuqing looked at her nephew. Unlike the weak image she had in her mind, he was now tall and strong, full of energy. He didn't look like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"He suddenly got better; it's truly a blessing from heaven," Huang Yuyun said from the side.

Her words made the other two very puzzled. They had been treating him for several years without any effect. How could he suddenly be cured?

"Aunt, didn't my mother borrow 500,000 from your family before?" Seeing them, Lu Chengchuan thought of the debt and asked.

Huang Yuqing waved her hand. "Hey, don't mention that. It's a great thing that you've recovered. You don't need to rush to pay back the money; just work slowly and pay it back gradually."

"No, I've already earned it. Aunt, tell me your card number, and I'll transfer the money."

He had money now, and since they were here, he would pay his aunt back.

His aunt's family had been really good to them. They had lent them the money readily, without fear of not being repaid. Lu Chengchuan was very grateful to them.

"What? You've earned 500,000! How did you earn it?"

When he said he had earned the money, his mother, aunt, and cousin were all very surprised. His mother looked at him in shock, his aunt asked incredulously, and even his cousin Lin Qingyu wore a surprised expression.

He had only recovered from his illness for less than a month. Where would he have the time to earn so much money? Did he go out and sell drugs?

"Don't ask so much. I can only say that this money is absolutely clean." Lu Chengchuan didn't want to say more, only that the money wasn't stolen goods.

Huang Yuyun was also curious about how her son had earned the money, but since he didn't want to say, she didn't ask.
