Chapter 88 - The Villa (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On set, Jiang Zhi discussed with Director Zheng about the best filters and hues to be used. After filming a few scenes, she finally returned to the waiting room with satisfaction.

She saw a few unknown missed calls on her phone and dialed back doubtfully. After two beeps, there was a loud noise coming from the other end.

“Hello? Is this Ms. Jiang? I’m the property manager of the Central Garden. There are a few people trying to break into your villa property by force. They said that they have spoken with you. Are you aware of this?”

“No, please stop them. I’ll rush back immediately.”

Jiang Zhi did not bother to remove her makeup. Lu Mian accompanied her to brief Director Zheng on the situation and asked for permission to rush back to the villa.

In front of the villa, the property manager and security guards were holding truncheons to stop more than a dozen burly men.

Jiang Zhi frowned and recognized the business manager who was leading the group. “Yesterday, I clearly handled the cancellation of the mortgage agreement with you. Why are you still here to collect the room?”

“This is considered a forced occupation of a private house. I have the right to call the police. Please leave quickly…”

Jiang Zhi’s attitude was firm, but the business manager was nothing like the gentle clerk from yesterday. He put on a rude attitude and tried to force his way in.

“When you promised to mortgage this villa, we posted it on the relevant websites. Now, the financier has reached an agreement with us, and the company has also promised to mortgage it to someone else!

“If you suddenly go back on your word, how are we going to explain things to the financier?

“Now you have two choices in front of you. Either you compensate the company for a breach of contract, or you continue to mortgage the villa at that low price!

“If you insist on going your own way, don’t blame us for being ruthless. You also know that there are many ways for loan companies to collect debts…”

The business manager was obviously threatening her. Jiang Zhi’s face was dark, but she did not answer.

Lu Mian’s lanky figure flashed past and he raised his leg to kick the business manager in the stomach. He fell to the ground on his back with two rows of nosebleeds coming out of his nostrils.

The onlookers were shocked by Lu Mian’s swift and decisive action. They did not dare to move recklessly and hurriedly helped the manager up.

Lu Mian patted the dust on his leather shoes, and disdain flashed in his long and narrow eyes.

The business manager coughed violently and raised his hand to point at Jiang Zhi and Lu Mian. His voice was trembling, but he threatened them fiercely, “You… Don’t move! I’ll call someone right now! You’ve all heard of the underworld behind the loan company, right?”

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He felt that his mouth was filled with a fishy smell, and it was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

Lu Mian protected Jiang Zhi by his side. He took out his phone, typed a few words, and sent it out.
