Chapter 52: Collecting Personal Debts

In order to rush for time, Ling Chu hired a carriage after going out.

Of course, Ling Chu was the only one in the car, and Ge's ghost was floating outside the car to guide her.

Lingchu heard Ge Shi mention what the rich businessman said to avoid long nights and nightmares, and was about to ask her what else she heard the rich businessman say.

However, Ge's ghost suddenly pointed to a steamed bun stall on the street with excitement and said to Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, that's him. He is the wealthy businessman who took my daughter away. I heard his companions call him Li Flat light.”

Ling Chu looked in the direction of Ge's finger and saw a man wearing azure silk hurriedly walking into the bun stall.

Li Pingguang didn't know that he was being targeted by one person and one puppet.

After entering the bun stall, he immediately sat down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup, and drank it all in a few gulps. Seeing the bun seller coming up to greet him, he took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table.

"Bring me three meat buns, and another thirty meat buns and ten vegetarian buns. Wrap them carefully for me. I'll take them away later."

The stall owner did not expect that a big customer would come early in the morning, and he was immediately overjoyed.

It was time for breakfast. There were many customers sitting at the steamed stuffed bun stall. After hearing the words of the man and the stall owner, they all turned their heads and looked over.

But after seeing how the man was dressed, it wasn't surprising.

This man is a businessman at first sight. If he buys such buns, he must be traveling far away to do business.

Li Pingguang poured another cup of tea and was about to drink it when he suddenly found a girl walking in front of him.

Looking up, Li Pingguang's eyes flashed with surprise.

This was the first time he saw such a beautiful girl.

Ling Chu stood next to Li Pingguang's table, glanced at him, and asked directly, "Excuse me, is your name Li Pingguang?"

Li Pingguang didn't expect that the girl actually knew his name, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Yes, my name is indeed Li Pingguang. I wonder what happened to the girl?"

Ling Chu nodded, "That's right. I'm here to collect debt from you."

The guests who were having breakfast saw a beautiful girl suddenly arriving, and they secretly looked at her with their eyes. Hearing her words, he looked over in surprise.

After all, this was the first time I saw someone pursuing a debt at a steamed bun stall, and she was such a pretty girl.

Li Pingguang looked stunned and said, "Girl, are you afraid you have the wrong person?"

Ling Chu, "Didn't you just say your name was Li Pingguang?"

"My name is Li Pingguang, yes, but..."

Ling Chu glanced at him and interrupted him rudely, "Since you admit that your name is Li Pingguang, then I didn't find the wrong person."

Li Pingguang frowned, "But, girl, I don't know you."

"That's not important. I'm here to collect debt from you, not to make friends with you."

Li Pingguang originally thought that this girl might have deliberately found an excuse to strike up a conversation with him because he saw that he was dressed richly.

It can be seen that the other party keeps asking him to collect debts, and he is a little impatient.

"Girl, I don't know where you got my name from, but I really don't know you. Also, I have never asked you to borrow money."

“Just because you don’t know me doesn’t mean you don’t owe debts.”

Seeing that the girl in front of him couldn't make sense, Li Pingguang was annoyed, "Well, since the girl keeps saying that I owe you a debt, then you can tell me when and where I asked you to borrow money? I have borrowed money from you in total. How much was borrowed? When borrowing money, was there a contract signed and who was the borrower? "

Ling Chu was not intimidated by Li Pingguang's momentum. She looked at him intently and said word for word, "The debt I am collecting is not money, but a person."

Li Pingguang frowned and said, "Which family are you from? Is there something wrong with your brain? Now you're asking for debts, and now you're begging for people. Are you trying to make fun of me?"

"I bought a maid a few days ago, but I heard that you bought her by force. I'm here to ask you for that maid back."

"What maid? I, Li Pingguang, am a businessman. I came to Beijing to do business, but I have never bought any maid."

Thinking of the people in the house and his companions who were waiting for him to buy steamed buns, Li Pingguang didn't want to be entangled with the girl in front of him anymore, lest he miss the time to leave Beijing.

He took out a small piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the table. He frowned and said, "Okay, you girl just want to extort money. I'll reward you with this piece of silver. Take the silver and leave quickly." , don’t waste my time here.”

The guests who were having breakfast next to him saw that Li Pingguang didn't look guilty, only impatient, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

That girl is so beautiful and has hands and feet, so making some embroidery and selling it would be better than anything else. Why are you so thick-skinned? You don't even think about the right path. When you see a rich person, you try to use some crooked ideas to seek their money.

Ling Chu saw those strange looks, but she ignored them.

Looking down at the piece of broken silver on the table, Ling Chu said to Li Pingguang with a faint look, "I heard that yesterday you bought Liu Xiangju, the daughter of Liu Dongluo, Donglaifu's former employer.

That Liu Dongluo's daughter is my maid. "

Li Pingguang's heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed.

But after all, he was a person who had traveled extensively and seen a lot of the world. He only panicked for a moment and immediately returned to normal.

He glanced at the diners next to him with his peripheral vision and saw that many people were looking at him and whispering. Li Pingguang forced himself to calm down, turned around and said impatiently.

"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. I don't know the boss of Fudonglai, and I have never bought his daughter."

After sneering, Li Pingguang added, "Girl, do you think the money is too little? Seeing that I am a foreigner, you want to put these names on me and extort more money?

I advise you not to be too greedy. Take the money and leave quickly. If you continue to pester me, I will take you to the government office to report to the authorities."

Li Pingguang spoke harshly, wanting to let the diners next to him see his righteousness and scare the girl away at the same time.

A diner nearby couldn't stand it any more, "Girl, hurry up and leave. You are still so young, why don't you learn well? Go home and embroider some flowers and sell them, you can also make some money, don't always think about these crooked thoughts."

Another lady also advised, "That's right, you are a girl, if you are caught and taken to the government office, your reputation will be ruined."

"Girl, you are about to reach the age of marriage, if it doesn't work out, with your looks, it's not difficult to find a wealthy family to marry. Why do you have to come out and use these despicable means to extort money..."

Ling Chu's eyes twitched. She didn't look like a swindler, so why did these people think she was doing something crooked?

Ling Chu didn't argue with those onlookers, but said to Li Pingguang, "You want to report to the police? What a coincidence, I also have this intention."
