บท 731: 731, Old Fox

Huo Zhexi had no choice but to make a call to another person.

Bai Ruwei sat aside, listening as he made a dozen phone calls and, finally...

"Smash!"

Upset, Huo Zhexi smashed his phone on the table, "Bloody freeloading bastards! They eat my food, drink my wine, use my stuff! Now that I need to borrow money, not one of them is willing to lend it to me! A bunch of ingrates!"

Bai Ruwei was puzzled too, Huo Zhexi's friends - all living lavishly, decked in gold and silver - couldn't spare a dime? It wasn't a large sum Huo Zhexi was asking, so it's not like they couldn't afford it.

The situation was much too odd.

Remembering Su Wanwan's phone call earlier, she quickly suggested, "Zhexi, could it be that the CEO Huo forbids them to lend you the money?"

Huo Zhexi was taken aback. "My elder brother?"

"Yes, he didn't come over when you were in trouble, asked you to borrow money from friends, and yet none of them would lend any."
