Chapter 124: 124 The warmhearted Liang Zhenlun

"I can’t call my parents, or my dad will beat me to death!"

Administrative building.

Security chief’s office.

Ruan Guang shook his head incessantly, his face full of resistance and panic.

After having a clear understanding of the incident’s ins and outs, the head of security in charge of handling student conflicts and emergencies realized that this student named Ruan Guang was entirely to blame.

A watch worth more than four hundred thousand, even he was taken aback. He had never imagined that a student in his school would wear a car on their wrist. However, the girls had submitted the invoice, providing irrefutable evidence, leaving no room for falsehood.

"Ruan Guang, you need to think carefully. You intentionally destroyed someone else’s property, and paying compensation is already the lightest outcome. If we call the police, you could end up in jail."

The head of security spoke solemnly, laying out the consequences.

Of course, he did not wish for the incident to escalate beyond the school, which is why he had to remain neutral. Otherwise, antagonizing the victims would only backfire.

"Jiang Chen, I was wrong. Can you please forgive me just this once?"

Ruan Guang, who had been so imposing on the basketball court, suddenly changed his demeanor, begging Jiang Chen pitifully, almost bursting into tears.

He wasn’t one of those rich second generations with boundless family wealth, nor a dashing young master. For him, over four hundred thousand was indeed a significant sum.

"That’s not what you were saying just now."

Luo Peng remained unmoved.

Every pitiful person has a detestable side.

Would this brat be begging for mercy if he weren’t driven to a corner?

He was only compelled by the circumstances, not truly remorseful.

Jiang Chen remained silent, clearly not willing to let the matter rest so easily.

If it had truly been an accident, he might not have been so tough on the other party, but today’s incident was clearly intentional.

He had asked Xu Siyi to find the invoice in Li Shuru’s locker and bring it to him; soon, Li Shuru would know about it.

This was a gift from Li Shuru. If he didn’t get an explanation, he wouldn’t be able to face the girl.

"Ruan Guang, you’ve destroyed someone else’s belongings, and that’s a fact. The fact that they’re not pursuing other liabilities is already showing ultimate kindness. If you’re unwilling to inform your family, then we will help you make the call."

The head of security said sternly.

Although he wished to settle things amicably, such a large financial loss couldn’t just be brushed aside without any consequences.

Even as students, as adults, they must learn to take responsibility for their actions.

"No, please don’t!"

Ruan Guang was panic-stricken and quickly said, "I’ll call myself!"

"Fine."

The head of security nodded, then personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chen and Luo Peng, thanking them for understanding the school’s position and cooperating with his work.

At this moment, Ruan Guang also realized that merely begging for mercy wasn’t going to solve the problem. He had gone too far earlier. Jiang Chen was only asking him to pay compensation as a concession for the school’s sake; if he disagreed, it would almost certainly force the other party to call the police.

At that point, it wouldn’t just be a simple matter of paying money anymore.

He was well aware of the severity and repercussions involved.

"I’ll make the call outside."

No one worried that he would run away.

After all, the monk can run away, but the temple won’t run with him.

Stepping out of the office, Ruan Guang took out his mobile phone. Of course, he dared not call home. His thoughts racing, he suddenly thought of someone.

Liang Zhenlun!

His relationship with Liang Zhenlun wasn’t exactly good, but it was passable. The key point was that Liang Zhenlun and Jiang Chen were like water and fire, sworn enemies. Now that he had a conflict with Jiang Chen, the other party would likely not sit idly by.

Hope flared in Ruan Guang’s heart, and he immediately picked up the phone.

"Who is it?"

The phone rang a few times and was quickly answered.

"Young Master Liang, it’s me, Ruan Guang."

Ruan Guang said with a forced smile.

"What’s the matter?"

Liang Zhenlun’s attitude was indifferent.

"...Li Shao, could you lend me some money?"

There was silence on the other end.

Ruan Guang knew that asking for money right off the bat was bound to annoy people, so he quickly explained, "Here’s the thing, today while playing basketball, I accidentally stepped on and broke Jiang Chen’s watch, and he wants me to compensate him. But I can’t come up with that much money right now. Could you lend me some first? I will definitely pay you back later."

Ruan Guang deliberately mentioned Jiang Chen’s name, and sure enough, it caught the other party’s attention.

"Whose watch did you break?"

"Jiang Chen!"

Ruan Guang repeated emphatically.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, just when Ruan Guang was anxiously uncertain whether the other party would help him or not, a sudden voice came through.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Four hundred thousand."

Ruan Guang’s voice was feeble, knowing he was asking for quite a sum.

Even if Liang Zhenlun was famously wealthy in school, he was still a student after all, and four hundred thousand was certainly not a small amount.

Moreover, his relationship with the other party wasn’t that strong.

"Four hundred thousand, that much?"

"Li Shao, if it were a small amount of money, I wouldn’t have troubled you, but Li Shuru actually gave Jiang Chen a Vacheron Constantin. I’m really being forced into a corner here. If I ask for it from my family, my dad will kill me!"

Ruan Guang sounded pitiful and desperate.

"Don’t panic just yet."

Liang Zhenlun seemed to ponder for a minute.

"I don’t have that much cash on me right now..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Guang felt a chill in his heart.

With Liang Zhenlun, the most capable person he knew, unable to provide such an amount, who else could save him?

"However..."

Liang Zhenlun suddenly changed his tone.

"However what?"

Ruan Guang asked eagerly, his sinking heart lifting once more.

"I know someone who might be able to help you, but you’ll probably have to pay some interest."

Ruan Guang wasn’t foolish and immediately understood, "Li Shao, are you talking about a loan?"

"Something like that."

"But this is four hundred thousand. I don’t have any assets to offer as collateral..."

After all, still a student at Dong University, Ruan Guang had some financial sense.

It was easy to borrow a few thousand, but with four hundred thousand without substantial capital, nobody would lend you the money.

"What are you talking about, he’s my friend, he’ll give me this much face," Liang Zhenlun said laughingly.

"But I must make it clear first, they’re not running a charity. Even though they won’t need you to put up anything for collateral, you do have to pay a certain amount of interest. I’m not sure what the rate is, you have to negotiate with him yourself. If you’re willing, I’ll send you his contact information later."

Ruan Guang understood that the "friend" Liang Zhenlun was referring to must be a loan shark.

Generally, there isn’t much good to say about this industry.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t want to deal with those types of people, but now he was out of options.

Thinking about the storm that would erupt if his family found out, his scalp tingled.

"Li Shao, okay."

Like many others who gradually sink into debt, Ruan Guang had no choice but to agree.

"His name is Bai Haoran, I’ll send you his number in a bit."

After finishing, Liang Zhenlun hung up the phone.
