He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Li Jianguo palely told Lou Xiao'e on the other end of the phone what happened in the casino, then quietly listened to the noise on the phone, but could not hear the other party's response. He shouted anxiously: "Lou Xiao'e, please save me! We know each other after all, for this relationship, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e was secretly delighted, knowing that Li Jianguo had fallen into the trap she had carefully designed. She raised her lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and said softly, "It's hard to explain over the phone for a while, how about this, which hospital are you in now?"

Lou Xiao'e knew that she couldn't be impatient and had to make Li Jianguo fall into the trap step by step. Otherwise, given Li Jianguo's character, he would definitely not admit it when he returned to Beijing.

But Lou Xiao'e also knew that she must have something on Li Jianguo, and then Li Jianguo would obediently cooperate with her.

As if grasping the last straw, Li Jianguo quickly reported the name of the hospital where he worked and pleaded: "Lou Xiao'e, I have no relatives in Xianghe. The only person I can count on is you. If you are unwilling to help me, then I will really have no way out!"

Li Jianguo knew the situation of the Lou family. Combined with the attitude of the casino owner towards Lou Xiao'e when she went to the casino, he knew that Lou Xiao'e's family must be rich.

But Li Jianguo also knew why Lou Xiao'e would help him pay back the debt, so Li Jianguo was also thinking about what he could do to exchange for so much money.

Lou Xiao'e chuckled again and said soothingly, "Alright, alright, don't be so pessimistic. There is a cafe at the entrance of your ward. Wait for me there for a while. I'll come to you soon."

Li Jianguo nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Lou Xiao'e, I'll go out and wait for you." After that, he hung up the phone in a hurry and couldn't wait to go out. However, just as he was about to step out of the door, he was blocked by two ferocious casino staff.

One of them raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hey! What do you want to do?"

Li Jianguo forced himself to remain calm and said with a smile, "Brothers, I was just planning to go out and borrow some money. I can't rest and recuperate unless I pay off my gambling debts to you, right? Please be kind and let me go."

The two looked at each other, as if they were communicating something with their eyes. After a moment, one of them pointed at the other and said, "Okay, go ahead. But you have to let him go with you, or you won't play any tricks."

Li Jianguo rushed to the coffee shop without even having time to change his clothes. He waited anxiously for Lou Xiao'e in the coffee shop, but in his heart he was wondering how he could get Lou Xiao'e to give him so much money.

While Li Jianguo was daydreaming, Lou Xiao'e came to the cafe and recognized Li Jianguo at once. After all, he was the only one wearing hospital clothes.

So Lou Xiao'e walked over, and Li Jianguo stood up all of a sudden, and then knelt in front of Lou Xiao'e: "Lou Xiao'e, I still have a few houses in Sijiu City. Can you lend me some money? I will pay it back when the time comes. Even if I don't have money, I will give you all the houses. How about that?"

Lou Xiao'e helped Li Jianguo up: "Let's sit up and talk if you have anything to say. How will others see me when you look like this?"

Li Jianguo felt the gazes from the people around him, like a thorn in his back. He sat up awkwardly, looked at Lou Xiao'e for help, and said in a trembling voice: "Lou Xiao'e, you must help me this time!"

Lou Xiao'e stared at Li Jianguo expressionlessly, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. She slowly said, "Don't be anxious, tell me what's going on. How much debt do you owe them that these people are clinging to you like a dog-skin plaster. If I'm not mistaken, the man standing over there should be one of them." As she spoke, she pointed her chin at a figure not far away.

Li Jianguo's face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly. A dense layer of sweat beads appeared on his forehead. He stammered and replied, "I... I really don't know the exact amount. I only heard from their boss that I owed a full 800,000 yuan! If you don't believe me, look at this IOU." As he spoke, he tremblingly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e took the IOU, looked at it carefully for a moment, frowned, and sighed helplessly: "Director Li, I don't have so much money on hand right now! Aren't you making things difficult for me?" After that, she handed the IOU back to Li Jianguo with an embarrassed look on her face.

Lou Xiao'e wanted to see what Li Jianguo was confident of now and wanted to borrow 800,000 yuan for her, so Lou Xiao'e did not rush to say anything else.

When Li Jianguo heard this, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e was quick to catch him. "Okay, okay, don't kneel down so quickly. I'll think of a solution." Lou Xiao'e consoled him.

Li Jianguo knew very well that Lou Xiao'e would not help him for no reason. She must be waiting for him to offer attractive enough conditions.

After thinking it over, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Lou Xiao'e, I can tell you who reported your family back then, how about it? Based on this condition, can you help me?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Director Li, who did you say reported me? Wasn't it Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao? Could it be anyone else?"

Li Jianguo looked at Lou Xiaoe and said, "That's right. It was Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong who found me. I can help you deal with them."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Forget it, I don't have that much money now anyway, and you don't have any sincerity, so I'll go back first."

Li Jianguo wanted to say something, but Lou Xiaoe looked at him and said, "By the way, Director Li, I don't have much time. I have to go out to discuss a business deal tomorrow. It won't take long, maybe half a month."

Li Jianguo knew that his conditions were not enough to impress Lou Xiaoe, but now Li Jianguo really didn't know what to say to impress Lou Xiaoe, so he could only sit here.

Lou Xiao'e went out and left in the car. After all, she only said that it was Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong who reported her, and she asked for 800,000 yuan. Isn't this unrealistic? It seems that Li Jianguo has not been forced into a desperate situation.

Li Jianguo didn't know how he got back to the hospital. He lay on the hospital bed thinking about how to ask Lou Xiao'e to help him pay back the money, but he really couldn't think of any.
