"As you said, I did pay off that kid's debt." Xingzheng replied calmly.He himself may still feel hale and hearty, but in Namie's eyes, he looks so haggard. "Where did he borrow the money from?" Nei Haixun asked. "From various places. There are both large-scale financial companies and suspicious municipal financial companies. I should have taken all the receipts. I will show them to you later." "Then I will thank you. How much is the total amount?" "Well, if you add them all up, I'm afraid it will exceed 50 million." Nei Haixun opened his eyes wide and hurriedly started recording.

Namie listened to their conversation and recalled the scene at that time. Although the men who came to collect debts were considered gentlemen, they had nothing to do with words like compromise and warmth.After those people learned that Banghong had found Xingzheng, the cash cow, they began to move around.They didn't come to threaten directly, but they were like killing people with soft knives, and they pressed on Xing Zheng every step of the way.Instead of understanding his father's suffering, Banghong scolded his father with crueler words than a debt collector. Who do you think it's all about - that's Banghong's catchphrase.

It was all because of his parents' willfulness that he got to where he is today.The average father should not only give money, but also do his best to raise his children.Fortunately, he didn't do his best. If he didn't pay a price equivalent to this, it would be too much to justify.And Banghong didn't go to university.If he could have received some more education at that time, he might have been able to enter the university.So he thinks that he has the right to ask for the education funds that were not given to him and the money he spent during his university studies. Thanks to Banghong’s words of asking for money, his unreasonable reasons are really admirable. Those who came to collect debts also smiled wryly after hearing this.

Namie thought to herself, wouldn't it be enough for you to file for personal bankruptcy, but she didn't have the courage to say it.No matter how you say she is an outsider, what's more, she understands Xing Zheng's feelings very well.He has been apologizing to Banghong from the bottom of his heart.The reason why he didn't refute Banghong's bullshit fallacies was precisely because he felt that the root cause of Banghong's depravity was him. In the end, Xingzheng sold the land of Youyong's family and helped Banghong repay the debt.Although Namie has no idea how much property the Tomonaga family has, she still knows that the family is not particularly rich.

Nei Haixun then insisted on inquiring about the disputes over arrears, and the disputes between Banghong and nearby residents.It appears that they have collected some level of personal information about Banghong. "By the way, is there anyone around Mr. Banghong holding a Japanese sword?" Kaoru Utsumi asked. "Japanese sword?" "Even if it's not a Japanese sword, it's a very long sharp weapon. Have you ever heard of anyone holding something like this before?" "I don't know." Xingzheng said with his head tilted, "I don't have a clue. Could it be that my son was killed with a Japanese sword?"

"At present, it is not sure whether it is a Japanese sword. I only know that it is a very long murder weapon. If you really can't think of it, it doesn't matter." After she continued to ask a few questions, she took a copy of the financial company's receipt and went back. "Looking at it like this, it is estimated that they will come here many times in the future." Just as Xing Zheng was sighing, the doorbell rang.Namie went to answer the door and found that the visitor was Konno Sosuke. "I came here because of work, so I wanted to stop by to see you." Konno's voice came from the microphone.

Xingzheng said, "Let him come in and sit down", and Namie led Konno into the living room.Fortunately, he thoughtfully went to his own house.Namie told him that the two were dating. "I've been to the other house to see it. It's a mess." Zong Jie had a baby face, but when he opened his eyes, he looked younger. "It feels like it's all burned down, and it's estimated that it will cost a lot of money to clean up the ruins." "It doesn't matter if you just leave it for a while, right?" "That's not okay." Namie poured Zongsuke a cup of black tea, and he thanked her.

Sousuke works at the distribution office of a car company, and he lives with three of his parents. His father is almost bedridden and his mother takes care of him. "I heard that he was stabbed to death with a sharp object." He took a sip of black tea and said, "Now I understand why you said yesterday that the murderer came after that guy." "Yeah." Namie nodded. "I said, although I also know that I shouldn't say that, but I actually agree with the murderer's actions, and I want to thank him for eliminating harm for the people." "Mr. Zongjie, you are wrong."

"I know. I'm just talking here." Zongsuke licked his lips, "But you actually think so in your heart, don't you?" Namie didn't speak, but her silence was the answer to Sousuke. "That guy still plans to be a parasite until Mr. Youyong dies. When Mr. Youyong dies, he will rob property. Property is nothing, but I'm afraid that if things go on like this, you will have no happiness at all, and you will not be able to follow I'm getting married because it's impossible for you to leave Mr. Tomoyong alone." "Yeah, although I have no blood relationship with him, and I don't have his household registration book, but he is my precious father."

"Because of this, I feel lucky." "I beg you, please don't say such things outside." "I know. I'm not an idiot." Zongsuke put down his teacup, looked at her hand and said, "This ring suits you very well." "Really? Dad said before that I shouldn't let Konno-kun spend so much money." "Even if my salary is low, something like this is still affordable. I can tell you the truth, I didn't buy it in installments." "Hearing you say that, I'm relieved." Just as the two of them met their eyes, the doorbell rang again.Namie answered the door with a little surprise, only to find out that the other party was a policeman, and neither Kusanagi nor Utsumi Kaoru.

"I heard from the person in charge of monitoring that Mr. Konno Sousuke is here, right?" the other party asked. "Yes, he is here..." "Sorry, we have something to ask him, is it convenient?" "Ah, uh..." Namie went to ask Konno what she meant.According to him, he was stopped by uniformed police officers before entering the door. She came to the entrance with Konno, and two men were waiting for him outside. "Excuse me, Mr. Sousuke Konno?" The slightly older man said with a serious face. "It's me, what's the matter?" The man first showed him the police brochure, and then said, "Excuse me, where were you at about eight o'clock last night?"
