After Being Forced To Marry A Wealthy Man, Mr. Qi Wants To Divorce Every Day - Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Debt Collection

After Qi Weixiong committed suicide, he “inherited” his heavy debts, and shortly after he personally sent his birth mother to prison, he found himself under constant pressure from debt collectors day after day.

Due to his debts, his personal bank cards were frozen. Now, the money he has is not enough to sustain his idle lifestyle.

Without the protection of the Qi family and having paid off most of his debts with the money from his bank cards, Qi Lei now lacks even the most basic survival skills, let alone continuing to fulfill Qi Weixiong’s debt repayment mission.

It’s unclear who leaked Qi Lei’s current address, as someone has already found him at the hotel where he currently resides.

Qi Lei, who has never experienced such a blow, how could he possibly accept such a huge contrast?

So when a group of spontaneously organized creditors found Qi Lei’s current hotel, he was simply not bothered by it.

“Mr. Qi! We know you’re in there, come out! When is your father going to repay the debt he owes us!”

“That’s right! When will he pay us our wages? We all have families to support, and this money is hard-earned. Your father took it without conscience. You can’t follow in his footsteps!”

“Hey, why waste time talking to him? Let’s see what kind of hotel this young master is living in now? It’s a five-star hotel! I don’t believe he doesn’t have money. If he didn’t have money, how could he afford to stay in such a hotel for so long!”

“That’s right! Let’s take turns guarding here. I don’t believe he can stay in there without eating or drinking!”

“Maybe he’s a little fairy, really able to go without food or drink~”

“Hahaha, if this little scoundrel is a little fairy, then we’re in trouble today.”

“I don’t know if he’s a little fairy, but I’ve heard that this Qi Lei has been messed around by quite a few men. Whether he can hold it together is really hard to say, maybe he can’t even control his bowels now~”

“Hahaha, is that true? Then maybe he’s too embarrassed to open the door, maybe he’s in there with a sorry state~”

Outside Qi Lei’s room, a group of rough men were loudly mocking and belittling him, their words becoming more and more unbearable.

Qi Lei was originally still sleeping, but the noise outside the door, intended to disturb him, woke him up quite effectively.

Especially when he heard the content of the conversation outside clearly, his anger rose to its peak, and he even put his hand on the door handle, almost ready to confront the troublemakers outside.

Just as he was about to open the door, rationality prevailed.

With so many people outside, and they were all debt collectors, if he opened the door now, wouldn’t it be giving them an opportunity?

As long as he didn’t open the door now, the people outside wouldn’t dare to barge in without permission.

Qi Lei temporarily didn’t have time to think about how the people outside knew he was staying here.

He dialed the hotel’s front desk phone using the room’s landline while directly calling the police.

“Hello, this is the front desk customer service of the Azure Pool Hotel, how can I assist you?”

“How do you manage your hotel? Random people can come in and out of the hotel at will, and even gather outside a guest’s room to threaten them!”

Qi Lei vented his anger at the front desk on the other end of the phone.

“Sorry, sir, we have not managed the hotel properly. We will immediately send someone over to solve the problem for you. Could you please tell me your room number?”

“Well, room number 1001. I hope you won’t neglect such incidents in the future.”

“Okay, okay, we will definitely pay attention to this issue in the future. We apologize for your bad experience. To compensate you, can we waive the fee for your stay today?”

“No…” I still have this money.

Just as Qi Lei was about to say the next sentence, he suddenly remembered that he still owed billions of debts, and he might really need this money.

“Okay, it seems that your hotel’s service is quite good.”

“Okay, thank you for your understanding. Please wait a few minutes, our security team will be there soon.”

“Mm.”

Qi Lei hung up the phone and also moved his right index finger away from the “110” dial button.

Since the hotel could handle it, there was no need to call the police.

Sure enough, it was a five-star hotel. The service was still in place. He wanted to see how long the group of people outside could make a fuss.

Qi Lei sneered inwardly and continued to lie on the bed.

Now that his location had been exposed, and the daily accommodation fee was in the four digits, this place was definitely not suitable for him to continue staying.

He didn’t want to repay the debts for that waste Qi Weixiong. He wanted to escape, leave this country, and go to a place where they couldn’t find him.

As for those who wanted money, as long as they couldn’t find him, they would inevitably shift their focus to Qi Yue.

Even though Qi Yue was not legally obligated to repay the debts, those creditors didn’t care about that. They only cared about money. As long as there was money, it didn’t matter who paid it.

Qi Lei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tracing the exquisite patterns above.

After leaving the country, he had saved some money abroad. As long as he didn’t spend extravagantly, it would be much better than this endless life of debt repayment.

At this moment, there was another louder quarrel outside, presumably the hotel security team had arrived.

“These gentlemen, if you don’t need to check in, you are disturbing the guests here. According to the hotel’s regulations, I kindly ask you to leave on your own. Otherwise, we may have to resort to other means.”

The burly man standing at the forefront of the security team in security uniform spoke in a coarse voice.

“Hey hey hey, don’t misunderstand, we are not irrelevant people! Do you know who is staying in there? The young master of the Qi family owes us a lot of money. We’ve come to collect it. How can you call us irrelevant?”

One of the creditors stood up, towering at nearly two meters tall. Even standing in front of the security team leader, he didn’t look inferior in stature.

The confrontation between the two actually weakened the momentum of the security team slightly.

Initially, when the other creditors saw the security team arriving, they were somewhat intimidated. But after this big brother-like man spoke up, they regained their confidence and chimed in.

“That’s right, the occupant of this room owes us a lot of money. If he doesn’t repay and runs away, who can we reason with?”

“Yeah, yeah! If he refuses to repay like his father and ends up committing suicide in your hotel, can you bear that responsibility?”

With this chorus of agreement, it evidently had some effect, slightly intimidating the security team.

Finally, the man who initially confronted the security team leader patted the security team leader’s shoulder and said solemnly, “Brother, I also know it’s not easy for you. If it’s easy for you, can it be easy for us? We all have families to support, and for many of us, most of our assets are tied up with the Qi family. How can we be willing? How can we explain this to our families?”

Despite the man’s robust and imposing appearance, his tone and expression when saying these words couldn’t help but move people.

A tough exterior with a tender heart, perhaps this was the demeanor of this man at the moment.

The security team leader was somewhat conflicted when he heard the man’s words, showing a hint of hesitation between his brows and eyes.

He also had a family to take care of, he also had dependents, and he was also an ordinary person in society. How could he not understand the struggles and hardships that the man spoke of?

So, he was somewhat swayed by the man’s words.

“Brother, we won’t make it difficult for you either. As long as your hotel lets us stay here and wait for the person inside, we guarantee not to cause trouble before we see him. Is that okay, brother?”

“Well…”

Seeing that the team leader was still hesitating, the man took the opportunity to further persuade him.

“In that case, brother, let’s talk further.”

The man put his arm around the team leader’s shoulder and led him away a bit, leaning in to whisper to the team leader’s ear, “If your hotel can find a way to get the young master out here, to resolve the issue face-to-face with us outside the hotel, we promise not to cause trouble in the hotel. We’re all ordinary folks, let’s be understanding~”

The burly man patted the team leader’s shoulder, slipped a pack of premium cigarettes into the team leader’s hand, and then left him some time to think. The team leader, swayed by the man’s persuasive words, actually began to consider compromising.

“Brother, I’m not unwilling to help you, but this is my job. It’s not good for your group to stand in front of the guest’s room door, affecting our hotel,” the man said slowly. “How about this, you wait outside the hotel main entrance first, and I’ll try to get this guest to come out. Is that okay?”

Seeing the security team leader relent, the burly man immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude.

“Great, brother, you’re practically saving our lives, do you know that? We’ll be waiting downstairs for your good news!”

After exchanging contact information with the security team leader, the burly man led the other creditors downstairs.

Meanwhile, the protagonist of the room, Qi Lei, was completely unaware that the security team and the debt collectors outside had conspired together.

After a few quiet minutes outside, Qi Lei received a call from the hotel front desk.

“Hello, Mr. Guest of Room 1001, the hotel has already resolved the issue of unrelated individuals entering and leaving the hotel. To compensate you, we have specially arranged for complimentary dining services at the hotel restaurant today. You can dine at the third-floor restaurant throughout the day. However, you need to come to the front desk to collect the dining vouchers at your convenience. We wish you a pleasant stay!”

“Okay.”

Qi Lei didn’t expect just the waiver of a day’s accommodation fee, but also a complimentary day of dining.

“Gurgle…”

Qi Lei had been awakened since eight in the morning and it was now past ten, and he hadn’t had breakfast yet. It was the perfect time to go and have breakfast.

He couldn’t help but wonder what the person causing the disturbance earlier would feel if they knew that their early morning commotion had inadvertently led to such a big benefit for him.

The anger and frustration he had just felt completely dissipated at the thought of this.

Anger doesn’t disappear; it just shifts.
