The yandere CEO’s Black Moonlight is reborn again

Chapter 182 Mortgage
To make matters worse, before Tang Mingxiao could recover from the huge blow, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

He was feeling annoyed and impatiently ordered his assistant, "Who is making trouble outside? Send them away."

Before the assistant could move, the office door was roughly kicked open from the outside, and several big men came in with sticks.

"Where is Tang Mingxiao?"

The leader had a square face, a beard, and eyes full of hostility. After scanning the area, his eyes were fixed on the desk.

He snorted and laughed, walked over, and saw Yin Yue beside Tang Mingxiao, and said deliberately: "We have something to deal with, all irrelevant people should leave."

The assistant was scared to death by him, but when she heard what he said, she still looked at Tang Mingxiao hesitantly. Tang Mingxiao's face was not very good either, but he was the boss after all, so he gave her a reassuring look.

After the assistant went out, the door was immediately locked from the inside.

Even though the door was locked, gossiping is human nature, and the noise was so loud that many people couldn't help but secretly put their ears against the door to hear what was going on inside.

Fang Zheng walked to Tang Mingxiao's desk, slapped the paper in his hand on the table, put one foot on the guest chair beside the table, and said nonchalantly: "Tang Mingxiao, seeing you are so handsome with a beautiful woman in your arms, you haven't forgotten that you still owe us tens of millions of loans, right?"

Tang Mingxiao took a deep breath and said calmly: "I have my own difficulties, but I am definitely not someone who evades debt."

"Difficulties?" Fang Zheng sneered, "We are not a charity. What does your difficulty have to do with us? I'll give you a week. If you don't pay me back, we'll follow the rules and put you in jail!"

Tang Mingxiao's eyes flashed with panic. He knew that these people could do what they said. He couldn't go to jail! He still had his career and reputation. He still had a chance to make a comeback. How could he fail here? But he tried his best to stay calm and tried to negotiate: "Give me some time, I will definitely raise enough funds."

"Time?" Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, as if considering it. "Okay, since you were once a person of some importance, I'll give you a chance. But you have to put up something of equal value as collateral."

Tang Mingxiao's heart sank. He thought for a while and said, "I'll mortgage my car to you. I have several luxury cars, and their total value must be over 10 million."

"Who wants your junky car? And you borrowed tens of millions of dollars in the first place. With the subsequent interest, it's almost 100 million. You need something worth 100 million to be eligible for collateral."

"What?" Tang Mingxiao's expression was completely tense. He still remembered what Tang Zhiyi said when she recommended this loan institution to him, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't your interest rate much lower than other institutions? How come it's higher instead of lower when calculated this way?"

"High? Go ask around, our family is already the lowest." Fang Zheng snorted, "Stop playing tricks."

He leaned down, and a cold object touched Tang Mingxiao's face: "Since you can't offer anything valuable as compensation, why not use something on your body as compensation?"

Tang Mingxiao's face immediately turned pale: "No, no! You can't touch me! I... I have something to pledge! I have a manor worth hundreds of millions, I can pledge it to you!"

Fang Zheng's face seemed to think about it for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly, saying ruthlessly: "Okay, but you have to sign the transfer contract first, and we will return it to you after you exchange the money."

Tang Mingxiao had no room to refuse.

After they left, Tang Mingxiao felt unprecedented pressure.

After returning home from the company, Tang Mingxiao stood in front of the manor, gazing at his manor, with mixed feelings in his heart. This manor witnessed his rise from a nobody to a business tycoon, but now it is about to become a victim of debt.

The lender's voice was like a cold blade, echoing in his ears: "Remember, this is only a temporary solution. We will give you one last chance in a week. I hope you can understand the situation." Tang Mingxiao turned around and faced the interior of the manor. Every piece of furnishing here revealed luxury and refinement. His hand gently touched the carved railings, as if saying goodbye to this place that once brought him glory and comfort.

"Mingxiao," a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. Tang Mingxiao turned around and saw Yin Yue, who had a gentle smile on her face. "Why don't you go in?"

Tang Mingxiao forced a smile and said, "I'm thinking about something. Come in."

The two of them entered the gate together and walked side by side along the wooden staircase corridor covered with flowers. Yin Yue did not notice that Tang Mingxiao was abnormal, and happily shared her daily life. Tang Mingxiao listened in a daze until Yin Yue said, "...The baby seemed to kick me today. It seems that he also likes this new house. He will definitely grow up healthily here in the future."

Tang Mingxiao paused for a moment and suddenly felt at a loss.

"Ayue, if...if we can't continue to live here in the future, will you be sad?"

Yin Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "How could that be? I am already very happy to be with the Master."

Tang Mingxiao held her slender hand that was resting on his arm and patted it twice in a soothing manner.

Yin Yue asked, "Is there something wrong with the company? If there is anything I can do to help..."

"Don't think too much," Tang Mingxiao interrupted her, "Just focus on your pregnancy. I'll handle any problems at the company."

As night fell, the manor was shrouded in a faint darkness. Tang Mingxiao sat in the study, with various documents and account books piled in front of him. He knew that he had to find a new source of funds in the coming days.

He opened a notebook and started calling the names one by one.

"Hello, is this Mr. Wang? It's me, Tang Mingxiao... Hello?"

The other party hung up the phone directly.

"WTF?"

Tang Mingxiao calmed down for a while and continued to make the next call.

"Mr. Jiang, it's me. I've been in trouble recently. Can you lend me some money... Hello?"

"I can lend you money, but how much interest will you pay?"

Tang Mingxiao was furious, but after all, he was the one asking for help, so he had no right to be angry. After asking a few more questions, he found out that the answer was no different from loan sharking, so he hung up decisively.

He called a few more people, but some of them avoided him after seeing the news, some wanted to pay him, but would not discuss the matter when asked to borrow money, or some asked for exorbitant amounts. After making dozens of calls, Tang Mingxiao was exhausted.

"Lend me money? Sure, I don't want any interest, and you can lend me as much as you want."

Tang Mingxiao suddenly became alert: "Then what do you want?"

After some evasion, the other party finally spoke up: "How about this, you convert it into shares based on Tang's current market value and transfer it to me."
