To be honest, Qin Sheng had not expected Monitor Ao to say something like that.
Five thousand pounds was nothing compared to Audrey's total assets, but a considerable portion of her wealth consisted of tangible or virtual assets such as stocks and plantations.
Monitor Ao was still underage. The Hall family managed those assets, and she could not freely dispose of or sell them.
Even though Audrey had received a cash reward for reporting Vice Admiral Hurricane earlier, five thousand pounds was still no small amount of pocket money.
She was being so generous now. What a rich lady, Little Li.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Justice. You truly are a kind lady, but there's no need to lend me money." Qin Sheng's tone softened somewhat. He did need money, but he only wanted money from The Fool, not Justice.
Could you lend the great Mr. Fool some money? Nine out, thirteen back!
Klein remained outwardly motionless, but he was screaming inside.
Damn it, money always flowed into the pockets of people who did not lack money.
"Actually, I invested my six hundred thousand-plus gold pounds. I should receive returns before long, but I need some money before that happens," Qin Sheng explained. He was not lying about that.
"I see." Audrey nodded with some regret.

Qin Sheng's words also shocked everyone
