Chapter 978: Profiting from Other’s Ill Luck

In the spacious and bright room, Zuo Daquan continued smoking his cigar while quietly reading the financial statement in his hand. His business had been in trouble as of late, which involved a particular case that was his gold mine. The gold sand had been mined, smelted and refined; yet the gold price plummeted, thus leading to abysmal sales. It made him depressed since he was in dire need of cash.

“Boss, Kanaja just sent someone to give another reminder again.”

A middle-aged man whose appearance was far from looking handsome, though with eyes full of wisdom and experience, walked inside with a briefcase and reported with a helpless expression.

“What the fuck? When it rains, it fucking pours, and now another shit comes hitting with another headache?” Zuo Daquan slapped the table furiously. “It’s only six days until I have to pay back the money we owe him; how can we have the price of gold bounce back again? How come we haven’t had any big buyer within six days?”

“Kanaja told us that he agrees with us paying our debt with gold. But he said the arrears must be paid according to the current gold price on the market,” said the middle-aged with a bitter smile.

“He’s just fucking robbing the house while it burns!” Zuo Daquan furiously shouted.

“He’s indeed taking advantage of our ill fortune,” said the middle-aged man. “But we have no other option than to pay the arrears with gold. We practically have no liquidity left in other businesses we can use, while we also need 80 million more to fully pay the debt.”

The cloudy expression on Zuo Daquan’s face turned grim. He dared not default on his debt to Kanaja since he knew who this man was. If he were to offend this man, he would end up far worse than when he offended the Huang. Although the latter had been hunting him and destroyed many of his businesses, they still didn’t dare to act to the extreme due to the legal restraints in China. But Kanaja was a different breed of man who had great influence and power in Bangkok, a ruthless man who could paint anything black or white on a whim. He was known as a lunatic who would utterly destroy someone for the sake of profits.

Ring, ring, ring…

The cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Zuo Daquan took a deep breath and directly picked up the call, asking in a heavy voice, “What is it?”

“The young lady is here, Boss.”

The voice of the estate’s security captain came out of the mobile phone.

Zuo Daquan looked vacant for a moment before a look of joy covered his face. Although he needed to resolve the debt with Kanaja, the most important thing in his mind was the matter with his daughter and his two grandsons. He couldn’t care less about paying his debt with gold regardless of its plummeted price as long as they could come here safe and sound.

“Take and escort her here immediately! I’ll be waiting.”

As he hung up, Zuo Daquan looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Tell Kanaja that I’ll definitely pay back his money within six days. Tell him that he’ll get the gold if we don’t have cash by then.”

Having said that, he hurriedly ran outside with eagerness and loudly yelled unceasingly, mobilizing his men nearby to prepare the grand welcome for his daughter.

After six-plus minutes, four cars parked in a small square outside the courtyard of the multi-storied building. Zuo Daquan quickly ran with an overjoyed expression the moment he saw Zuo Qing and his two grandsons, hugging her and saying, “I’m really glad you’ve come here safe and sound, Qing’er. It’s been hard on you. Blame me for being a useless father, causing you to be in so many hardships and pains.”

Zuo Qing hadn’t seen her father for more than six years. All the restlessness she had all this time finally disappeared after the hug. With a constant flow of tears, she sobbed and whimpered, “I never blamed you, Dad.”

Zuo Daquan released his hug and shook his head. He then looked at the two boys beside his daughter and immediately squatted down.” You’re Yangyang and Doudou, right? It’s our first time seeing each other after you were born. Blame your Grandpa for being incompetent.”

“Yangyang, Doudou, quickly greet your grandfather!” said Zuo Qing hurriedly.

The two sensible boys greeted, “Hello, Grandpa!”

With a face full of joy, Zuo Daquan nodded to them. He grabbed their small hands and said, “Good children. You both are good children. Let’s walk. Grandpa has told the maids to prepare delicious meals for you. Qing’er, the journey must’ve been very hard on you. Take a hot bath and rest well.”

“We did encounter a lot of trouble on the journey into this country illegally,” said Zuo Qing. “We are here because of Divine Doctor Tang who has been protecting us all the way here. Let me introduce you to him. This is Divine Doctor Tang, and the rest are his men and his friends.”

Only at this moment did Zuo Daquan notice a group of people behind his daughter. He suddenly frowned and glanced at the crowd. Then, he walked to Tang Xiu’s front and amiably stretched out his hand. “Hello, Divine Doctor Tang. I’m Zuo Daquan. I’m very grateful to you for helping my daughter.”

“I just happened to run into her. I just did whatever I could do.” Tang Xiu smiled lightly and said, “There’s no need for such courtesy, Boss Zuo.”
