Age of the Titanic Wasn't an Issue

Just when Lu Shi was in a mood of anticipation and fear, this week came to an end.It should be those people who came to ask for usury. Fortunately, there is a Karl here, and his housekeeper Lai Fujie.

Lushi couldn't fall asleep, so she got up early, got dressed, and just sat there.Just waiting for Judy to call me.

"Tuktuk" Judy knocked on the door outside, what was supposed to come would come after all, and Lushi stood up to open the door.

Judy just knocked, and the door opened immediately.Hands are still raised in the air.

"Uh, ma'am, you're already up, it's so early." Judy put down her hands in embarrassment, and said to Ruth.

"Get up, what's the matter with you knocking on the door?" Lushi asked expressionlessly.

Then Judy said seriously: "Ma'am, the men who came to collect debts last week came again and must see you. What do you think should I do? Do you want to see? If you really don't want to see, or just Go and call the police. That's what Frau Laura sent me to ask you."

"It's time to come. I'll see you. Besides, I've already prepared the money. I'm not afraid." After saying that, Lu Shi left the bedroom, ready to go down with Judy.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot, go to the guest room and ask Carl Hawke to come down, and tell him that this loan shark is here. I think he should know what I mean." Lushi suddenly realized that the money was not hers. Here, I still told Judy to ask Carl to come down.

After Lushi waited for Karl, she went down the stairs.

"Oh, oh, our Mrs. Bucket is down, and we'll have to wait an hour. Oh dear Mrs. Bucket, I wonder if you've got the fifty thousand pounds we're asking for?" It was the same tall loan shark who said to Lushi.

After hearing this, Lu Shi looked at Carl, thinking about asking Carl to write out the check first.Just hand it over to them and send them away.

Carl accepted Lu Shi's gaze, but didn't move his hands.Instead, he said to the usury man, "Whenever you borrow money, you must have an IOU. It is impossible for you to take the money and leave today for no reason. Wait until the next time you come here with an IOU to ask for money."

The loan shark laughed when he heard what Carl said. "Hehe, this means that I have found a lover, or my younger brother. Mrs. Bucket, your husband has only been buried for a few days, and what you did is a bit out of character. IOU, okay, this is not That's it."

He joked a few words to Lushi, and looked at Lushi's face flushed because of anger.Then he took out an IOU from his inner pocket.

After flashing in front of Lushi and Carl, he said to Carl, "Boy, this is the IOU. After you give me the money, I will return the IOU to you."

Carl and the others didn't see it clearly at all, so they said, "I can't see clearly when you look like this. I just have some checks for the money. Let me see clearly first."

When the loan shark saw the check, he knew that Karl was rich, so he handed over the IOU to Karl.

Carl took the IOU, and Lushi also wanted to see this IOU.

Suddenly, Lu Shi felt infinite anger.This IOU is real, but the principal here is only [-] pounds, and the loan date is two months ago.What the hell is going on with Bukett? There are also debts here, and debts are also borrowed everywhere.Why on earth do you need the money all of a sudden?

Originally, Lushi wanted to say something, but Carl stopped what Lushi wanted to say.

"That's the only one, right? There's nothing else owed?" Carl asked there.

"What's the matter, you want something else, but that's gone. Hurry up, take out the money you prepared, so that we can settle the two. Don't worry, although we say we are usurers, but It's not a rascal, you paid off the principal with interest, then we won't bother this Mrs. Bucket." The loan shark asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Carl said, "No, I'm just asking. Fifty thousand pounds, right? I'll write a check right now."

After Carl sat down, he took out the checkbook he saw two days ago from his arms.He picked up the pen and wrote a few more strokes.Only then did he tear it up and hand it over to the loan shark.

"Look, here is fifty thousand pounds. I have already seen this IOU. It is Mr. Bukett's seal. Please accept it, Lushi." Carl said to Lushi.

The loan shark took the check, looked at it, and smiled. "Okay, then Mrs. Bucket, let's go first. If you want to borrow money in the future, come to us. You know, we are all innocent."

Lu Shi looked at the man's playful smile and turned her head away.It's a scam, it's [-] pounds, and it has increased by [-] pounds in two months.That's what robbing a bank looks like.

"Hehe, don't mind, Mr. Bucket is gone, so I'm in a bad mood now, and that's what it looks like. But I think if I'm here, this usury won't be needed. I think your business must be It's very busy, so I won't keep you guys any longer." Karl said politely to this group of people, but the expulsion order was also very obvious.

"Oh, okay, let's go now. We won't harass Mrs. Bucket." The loan shark raised his hand and left.

After these people left, Lushi couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Carl, "Carl, why did you stop me from questioning them? They were ordered to blackmail them. How did this ten thousand pounds become fifty thousand?" That's it. I can call the police if that's the case."

"Hehe, Lushi, do you think they don't know that you are the baroness? Of course they do, but they still come like this. Then they are not afraid of you, and their backstage is much harder than you imagined. You still don't want to think about it." It's not very good now, and all the money has been paid off." Carl couldn't help but told Lu Shi what happened behind this.

After hearing this, Lu Shi realized that she was thinking simply, and became angry because of patronizing.After all, this is not the world I am familiar with, it is England. I don't know what kind of customs this is.It is better to ask less and see more.

"Forget it, I was also dazzled by anger just now. The next step is the Royal Bank of England. If possible, I can just use this factory as a mortgage. Anyway, I, a woman, have no ability to manage this. The factory." Lu Shi said to Carl.

"Lushi, it would be the best if you can figure it out. As for the matter of the factory, I will help you deal with it." Carl nodded and said.
