Chapter 118: Internet Bet

"That's accurate!" declared the leader of Line 5. "We found ourselves mired in a substantial debt… We were consumed by obsession…"

The leader of Line 4 voiced a degree of discontent. "Manager Jia, we're unable to even protect ourselves. Must we continue shielding President Zhao?"

The leader of Line 5 was besieged by debt collectors, a situation that had him contemplating drastic measures. Were it not for his young child and ailing wife, he might have met a tragic end long ago.

"President Zhao encouraged you to gamble online?" Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, her concern centered on the legality of such actions.
