He had been reduced to a pauper. "I just want my eighteen yuan back. Why is it so hard..." As he cursed, Ma Ming suddenly felt his eyes redden with frustration. He had tried everything but still couldnât get the money.
Meanwhile, in the university classmatesâ group chat, those classmates had also been following the developments over the past few days.
"Ma Ming, howâs it going? Did you get the money? With the Enforcement Courtâs intervention, there shouldnât be any problems, right?"
"Let us know whatâs up. He owes me eight thousand yuan, and Iâm waiting to get it back."
"If this method works, Iâm going to confront Meng Lei too. If he wonât pay, Iâll sue him as well!"
"If I ever lend money to anyone again, Iâm a dog!"
"..."
Many people felt the same as Ma Ming. After this incident, they were all feeling a sense of weariness. Getting money back was just too hard.
Ma Ming opened the classmatesâ group chat and let out a long sigh. He replied, "The Enforcement Court sent me a message saying that Meng Lei has now... transferred all his assets. Heâs truly penniless, and they canât proceed with seizure."
The moment the message was sent, it stirred up a frenzy. Classmates who had been lurking suddenly came out of the woodwork, all riled up.
"Isnât that just shameless? For such a small sum, what on earth is Meng Lei thinking?"
"What else could he be thinking? Heâs obviously afraid that all of us classmates would find out and gang up to demand our money back."
"I canât take it anymore! My lungs are about to burst! And the kicker is that this guy even has a wifeâI saw her at the court hearing; she was pretty good-looking."
"Man, itâs infuriating to compare oneself to others. Here I am, an honest guy, still single. I havenât even held a girlâs hand."
"..."
Meng Leiâs maneuvers had once again exceeded everyoneâs expectations. With him being truly "penniless," not even the courtâs compulsory enforcement could do anything. He wasnât just any deadbeat; he was the pinnacle of deadbeats.
At the same time, everyone felt a profound sense of helplessness. Going to court and winning the case, but still being unable to collect the moneyâwhat else could they do?
"From now on, it doesnât matter who comes begging to borrow money, not even if the Heavenly Emperor himself shows up, I wonât lend it!"
"Lending money is easy, but getting it back is so tough. Running into someone like Meng Lei is just my bad luck."
"My eight thousand yuan! Gone, just like thatâdown the drain. He told me his grandma had passed away, and thatâs why I lent him the money for the funeral."
"I went to court, filed for enforcement, but still couldnât get my money back. I think itâs hopeless."
"I just saw Meng Leiâs WeChat Moment saying heâs preparing to buy a second house."
"..."
In the group chat, everyoneâs comments turned increasingly pessimistic. There were sighs and complaints. Some even considered swallowing their pride and giving up on getting their money back.
In such a situation, getting their money back would be possible only if they could catch Meng Lei and forcibly take it. But by doing this, they would be the ones breaking the law. The debtor continued to get off scot-free.
In todayâs world, the sly and cunning prosper, while the honest fall further behind. Meng Lei was even preparing to buy a second house. Many among them hadnât even started dating yet. It must be said, this was just too ironic.
"Donât be too pessimistic for now. Let me seek advice from someone; there might still be a solution," Ma Ming couldnât help but send a message in the group, seeing everyoneâs discussion.
Afterward, he found Qin Muâs contact and decided to ask for his advice again.
In reality, the methods Qin Mu had previously suggested were all very practical. Ma Ming had won the lawsuit, received the judgment, and even initiated enforcement proceedings. But Meng Lei didnât play by the rules; heâd actually managed to transfer his assets. Thatâs why the money still couldnât be reclaimed.
ăMeanwhile.ă
In Jin City, at the nursing home, Qin Mu looked at the message from Ma Ming, his lips twitching slightly. He had thought this was just a simple loan dispute case. He couldnât have anticipated... that the other partyâs maneuvers would become so outrageous.
Moreover, he had transferred his assets all because of 268 yuan. Resigning, divorcing, transferring his savings, and disposing of his real estateâthis whole series of maneuvers was executed in one clean sweep, remarkably smoothly.
