Zhou Ning covered Mr. Zhao's mouth, aware that voices here could be overheard. He pulled him into Room 309 and briefly described the situation. Mr. Zhao kept making tutting noises.
"Damn, Fang Qing really is heartless. If he had wanted to help even a little, Fatty wouldn't be saddled with eight million in debt, struggling for breath all these years. Yet Fang Qing has made a fortune. But how did he think of borrowing money from Lou Sanfeng?"
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"Maybe it's just as he said, an offhand remark that he didn't expect Lou Sanfeng to actually lend him the money. Of course, it's also possible that he's hiding something, that he has long known Lou Sanfeng took an interest in his sister Fang Yue. He may have felt that someone with such a role and a destitute background wasn't good enough for their family. It was only after Fang Yue died that he asked for the money."
