706: Chapter 697: The Big Brother Who Got Scared Peeless, No One Can Help?

Why did Luo Xiaobu take out a high-interest loan?

This matter must be traced back to a few months ago.

Luo Xiaobu was being pressured by his family to go on another blind date.

For some reason, every girl he met on these dates was either an ill-intentioned tramp or a deceptive female player.

In any case, this time, he met a girl who was quite attractive and seemed to hit it off with Luo Xiaobu.

After dating for over a month, Luo Xiaobu was very attentive to the girl, and it seemed like the feeling was mutual.

But when the topic shifted to marriage, her family demanded a dowry of 880,000 yuan and a large new house in Dongfang Capital.

Luo Xiaobu came from an ordinary family, clearly unable to muster such a considerable sum of money.

Fortunately, Luo Xiaobu had some luck initially when he won a prize on Dongfang Star’s slot machine, and Zhang Wei gave him the 5 million yuan he had won.

However, with the house prices in Dongfang Capital, 5 million yuan was somewhat insufficient to buy a large house in the city center.

After discussing with his parents, Luo Xiaobu decided to sell his family’s house and use the proceeds combined with the 5 million yuan to buy a larger property.

They managed to buy the house, but then they realized they didn’t have enough money for the renovations and the dowry.

Luo Xiaobu had no choice but to discuss the issue with the girl’s family, but they adamantly demanded the full 880,000 yuan for the dowry.

The new house had to be luxuriously furnished, and the girl’s name had to be included on the property deed.

Luo Xiaobu’s parents were understandably reluctant, but the girl’s family was not pushovers either.

Seeing that Luo Xiaobu’s family had some resources, they were not likely to let go easily.

The girl was creating drama every other day, sending messages to Luo Xiaobu about suffering from mental stress due to family pressure, saying she was in great pain, and so on…

In short, Zhang Wei found the girl’s approach somewhat speechless and inexplicable.

This was nothing but the typical ploy of a female player hooking an honest man, even employing psychological control in an attempt to influence Luo Xiaobu’s decisions.

And sure enough, Luo Xiaobu, the naive virgin, fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

After much deliberation, he followed the girl’s suggestion and approached a credit company recommended by a ‘big brother’ who was apparently a friend of the girl’s family, where he took out a private high-interest loan from them.

What happened next was something Zhang Wei also became aware of.

The interest on this loan was exorbitant, and it increased monthly.

Luo Xiaobu, just an ordinary notary office worker, had no means to repay the loan.

And so it was, the creditors abducted him to pressure him into repaying the debt, threatening to make him sell the house to cover his debts and so on.

“This…,”

Hearing Luo Xiaobu’s woeful tale, Zhang Wei was full of pity and disbelief.

“Radish, with your qualifications, you should be able to find a decent girl.

Why is your luck so…”

“Zhang Wei, what’s wrong with me?”

“Haven’t you realized?

You’ve been trapped.

That girl is clearly in cahoots with the loan company.

I heard that the new house you bought has her name on the deed, right?”

“Yes, it does!”

“Did the loan company tell you to sell them the house to settle your debt?”

“Yes, they did.

They said if I agreed to sign, the debt would be wiped clean.”
