Lian Bing came to Zhao Yong demanding money, and Zhao Yong became very impatient, even scolding him.

Tian Jia and Ye Xuan saw this and immediately called Chu Yun, who was worried for Lian Bing's safety and went to the warehouse with Qilin and the police.
Lian Bing begged Zhao Yong for another 100,000 yuan, saying he didn't need the rest. But Zhao Yong not only didn't give him the money, he also scolded him again.

Chu Yun checked Zhao Yong's accounts and found no money in them, suspecting Zhao Yong of cooking the books, so he sent Qilin to investigate.
