Chapter 35 [Zhao Wanying's Trouble]

When Zhang Yan left, Li Wendi put away his smile, crossed his fingers on the table and gradually fell into deep thought.

The 'borrowing money to develop' business model proposed by the Chen brothers and sisters has many drawbacks and high risks, but as Gao Qiqiang said, 'the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.'

Although Li Wendi has only been in this world for three months, he already has a net worth of hundreds of thousands. However, compared with those predecessors, he is undoubtedly a small shrimp, or even not even a small shrimp. When the world economic crisis comes, he will probably have to "grow slowly" for another two years.

If there is enough capital, Li Wendi believes that he can buy some properties and land in good locations to prepare for the real estate recovery in 75.

So Li Wendi was still short of money, which was one of the reasons why he took the risk with the Chen brothers and sisters.

As a time traveler who can predict major disasters, Li Wendi does not think that he will fall like Chen Songqing and Xu Jiayin. After all, he can avoid it in advance.

He did not stay in Hengyao Real Estate Company for long before returning to Sai Wan, wanting to visit his dear lawyer Zhao Wanying and consult on the legal aspects of asset transfer.

Before reaching Zhao Wanying's store, I saw a group of people surrounding it from afar, holding weapons in their hands, as if they were about to start a fight.

Li Wendi frowned as he walked forward. A yellow-haired gangster greeted him, "Brother Wendi, why are you here?"

So, several gangsters hurriedly greeted Li Wendi, and Li Wendi asked what was going on with a bad look on his face.

After hearing the general idea, Li Wendi's face became even gloomier. "You guys go first. I'll talk to Brother Hui later."

"Brother Wendi, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that the woman inside is too arrogant. She even shouted that she would call the police, saying that we are breaking the law and so on. And Brother Hui insisted that we teach her a lesson." The leading gangster was a little unhappy.

Li Wendi sneered, "What's wrong? Is this what Brother Hui taught you? Get out of here right now. Tell Brother Hui that I'll take care of this matter."

Seeing that the gangsters were still hesitating, Li Wendi continued, "Do you want me to ask Brother Hui to tell you directly? Or do you want me to find someone to throw you all into the sea to feed the fish?"

Finally, this group of gangsters left reluctantly. They knew that Li Wendi had been in Sai Wan and had an unusual relationship with Ma Yunhui. They were really afraid that Ma Yunhui would use them as scapegoats to ease the relationship.

Li Wendi saw Zhao Wanying holding a stool, her face flushed, staring at the door nervously and fearfully. She felt a little better after the gangsters left. She supported herself on the table with her hands and her breathing became a little rapid.

"Hey! Open the door! Are you scared?" Li Wendi glanced at the glass door and said jokingly.

Zhao Wanying calmed herself down, pretended to be calm and walked over to open the door.

"Are you interested in telling me what happened?" Li Wendi felt that it should not be a big deal. Zhao Wanying was not a wicked person. At most, she would offend Ma Yunhui.

"Cough cough!" Zhao Wanying picked up the cup to drink water and accidentally choked.

Li Wendi took the opportunity to take advantage of Zhao Wanying and patted her on the back. "Don't worry, I will help you settle this matter."

When Zhao Wanying stood up, Li Wendi's hand was still on Zhao Wanying's back, so Zhao Wanying pulled it away and said fiercely, "You young and dangerous guys are all unreasonable bastards. You actually want to commit murder in broad daylight."

Li Wendi didn't feel anything at all about Zhao Wanying's accusation. It was the most incredible that the Young and Dangerous could be reasonable. Do you dare to believe that a group of people who "will kill gods if they stand in your way, and will kill Buddhas if they stand in your way" could be reasonable?

The Young and Dangerous gang makes their living by intimidating others with violence. Are they going to throw away the things that make them live?

"Have you finished venting? Can you tell me the whole story?" Li Wendi looked at the somewhat embarrassed Zhao Wanying with interest. This woman always behaved very calmly and acted like a strong woman, but now she was scared.

Zhao Wanying turned her head away, as if she was a little embarrassed. Li Wendi didn't provoke her, and even helped her drive away those gangsters, but she ended up scolding him. However, she adjusted her mood and told the whole story.

There are some discrepancies between the statements of both parties, but Li Wendi believes more in his own guesses and judgments rather than the statements of either party.

It should be that Zhao Wanying stood up for others and interfered with Ma Yunhui's business of acquiring the warehouse at a low price, so Ma Yunhui sent people to cause trouble. However, Zhao Wanying, this young and foolish person, was unwilling to admit defeat, nor did she think that she would lose. She even didn't think that the Young and Dangerous dared to do anything to her, because she was a lawyer.

In fact, this was an era when gangs were rampant. They dared to threaten the powerful and the rich, let alone small lawyers.

Li Wendi is most interested in the owner who came to Zhao Wanying to help. This is clearly putting Zhao Wanying on the fire. His intentions are extremely sinister and even more hateful than those of Ma Yunhui and others.

However, from Zhao Wanying's words, Li Wendi did not hear the owner's name, so it was obvious that the person had given an explanation.

Li Wendi did not ask directly for the owner's information because it was easy to find out from Ma Yunhui.

"Don't worry about it. Those people cannot be easily punished by the law. It's useless to call the police."

Zhao Wanying fell silent. "I don't care, but the owner must get the ideal price."

Li Wendi really didn't want to do this as it would offend Ma Yunhui, and the owner was probably not a good person.

"Wanying, your landlord is a warehouse owner and should know the rules of the underworld. Then why does he want you to get in touch with those gangsters?" Li Wendi reminded tactfully.

Zhao Wanying was stunned. Li Wendi's meaning was very clear, but she was stubborn. "I don't care. Do you agree or not?"

"I can't agree to this. If you insist on doing this and it leads to dire consequences in the future, I will have the owner thrown into Victoria Harbour to feed the fish." Li Wendi warned calmly.

"You...you are taking human life lightly!" Zhao Wanying roared suddenly.

"You can think about Uncle Zhao instead of yourself. Those gangsters are not good people. They are good at threats, intimidation, kidnapping and other means. Do you want Uncle Zhao to be intimidated?" Li Wendi said seriously.

When her father was mentioned, Zhao Wanying became dispirited. She really didn't dare to take risks with her father. "Don't you have a rule? Don't you have to keep your family members safe?"

"That's useful for people in the underworld. Are you people in the underworld? They can also deny it." Li Wendi continued to persuade, "You saw a lot of this when you were young. When did they follow this rule?"

"You can stop them, right?" Zhao Wanying grabbed Li Wendi's arm and asked pleadingly.

"Wanying, if you weren't my neighbor, do you think I would care about this? That owner clearly wants to use you to test the club's resolve. If you can get the money for him, that would be the best. If you get killed by them, he won't lose anything. Are you really willing to risk Uncle Zhao's safety to test the blade of others?"

Seeing Zhao Wanying's lost look, Li Wendi softened his heart and sighed, "Okay, I'll try my best to get more money for your client, but it's impossible to get more than the market price, maybe 7% or 8% at most."

"Well, thank you in advance." Zhao Wanying replied in a low voice.

"This world is indeed a mess. If you want to change it, you can only solve it from the top. Find your mentors. Their interpersonal relationships should be able to ease the situation." Li Wendi suggested weakly.

Zhao Wanying's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Wendi deeply, and then fell silent again.

She didn't even know when Li Wendi left.
