You dare lay a hand on my woman!
Do you have multiple lives to squander!
Bai Yan’s commanding words echoed in Li Xiaoman’s mind, making her heart flutter, as if she had knocked over a honey jar, the sweetness reaching deep into her soul.
This silly man, since when am I his woman? We haven’t even...
Oh my, I’m so embarrassed!
"Bai Yan..."
Li Xiaoman’s pretty face blushed, her voice soft and gentle, she looked at Bai Yan with so concern and whispered, "That’s enough, don’t really hit him."
Li Xiaoman didn’t feel sorry for Leng Zhenyi, she felt sorry for Bai Yan who had paid too much for her.
There was a ti before when Bai Yan confronted so black gangsters for her sake, fighting seven or eight husky black n all by himself, leaving them all incapacitated, but also ending up in the hospital for half a month.
During that ti, Li Xiaoman cried herself to sleep every night, staying with Bai Yan at the hospital, serving him without rest.
Although Leng Zhenyi was a scoundrel, she couldn’t deny that he had so background and power; she’d rather suffer a bit herself than have Bai Yan be retaliated against by Leng Zhenyi afterward.
"It hurts, let go of ! Otherwise, you’re gonna pay for this!"
Leng Zhenyi’s voice grew louder and louder.
However, Bai Yan’s expression remained extrely stern, with arms like steel, unmoving as a mountain; he glanced indifferently at Leng Zhenyi and said, "I’m really curious, how exactly are you going to make regret this?"
A few months ago, Bai Yan was penniless but still had the heart of a hero, single-handedly daring to confront a gang of knife-wielding thugs; let alone now, when he already had quite a few aces up his sleeve.
It’s over.
This man, he’s not going to be serious, right?
Leng Zhenyi’s scream ca to an abrupt halt as a wave of trendous fear rushed over him, suppressing the tearing pain in his wrist, he looked at Bai Yan in terror.
From Bai Yan’s eyes, Leng Zhenyi could clearly see an indifference, the kind of indifference one shows to an ant, not caring at all about your life or death!
Is he... is he going to kill soone?
Leng Zhenyi was extrely frightened inside; at this mont, he truly regretted coming to find Li Xiaoman today.
Beauty moves the heart, that’s true.
But, there’s a saying, "desire brings disaster."
Just then, a noisy commotion ca from downstairs of the KTV.
Could it be another incident? It’s well known that, in many places abroad, local security isn’t as good as back ho; in the eyes of many foreign refugees and desperados, Hua Xia people are born savvy and money-making, like born-to-be-sheep.
"What’s going on?"
Bai Yan frowned, glanced at Leng Zhenyi, and released his arm with no courtesy, barked out a warning, "Scram! If I see you harassing Xiaoman again, watch out, I’ll break your legs!"
As Bai Yan let go, Leng Zhenyi collapsed to the floor, trembling, his face pale white, unable to recover for a while, unable even to stand up!
Li Xiaoman looked disdainfully at Leng Zhenyi; how could she ever fancy such a cowardly man.
The noise from downstairs grew louder, accompanied by the screams of people like John and the sounds of clashing and breaking objects.
Li Xiaoman’s face changed, she also knew sothing was wrong.
"I’ll go down and take a look."
Bai Yan reassured Li Xiaoman, then glanced at Leng Zhenyi, planning to take this trash with him and throw him out like garbage.
He’s so useless, such a coward.
Killing soone like him would dirty my hands.
However, at that mont.
John and others burst into the office with blood-covered faces, panicking as they yelled at Li Xiaoman, "Boss, run! They’re here!"
Following that, John and the others tried to turn back and shut the office door, their faces full of nervous fear.
Before Li Xiaoman could ask.
"Bang!"
The office door was kicked open, more than a dozen burly black n stord in, one of them picking up a bottle from the office’s liquor cabinet and smashing it to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Ah!"
Li Xiaoman let out a startled scream; the person kicking in the door was rough and overbearing – clearly, they ca with ill intentions!
Leng Zhenyi was also taken aback, looking at the group of burly black n in panic, while Bai Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
As they were still clueless about what was happening, a portly white man erged leisurely from behind the black henchn.
The white man looked directly at Li Xiaoman, his eyes gleaming with lust, and sneered, "Mr. Li, long ti no see."
"It’s you!"
Li Xiaoman’s pretty face turned deathly pale as she recognized the group.
"Paying debts is a matter of course."
The white man said in fluent Hua Xia language, eyeing Li Xiaoman up and down with ill intentions and sneered, "Today is the final deadline. If you don’t pay up..." Mr. Li, do you believe my brothers can twist you into eighteen different shapes!"
Li Xiaoman’s face drained of color as she bravely suppressed the fear in her heart, rebuked, "I’ve paid back the principal and the interest, what more do you want from !"
"No, no, no, according to our rules at the Li Lai Casino, you haven’t even fully paid the interest, let alone the principal."
The white man took a step forward, sneering sinisterly at Li Xiaoman.
They were from the Li Lai Casino!
Leng Zhenyi was suddenly alard, and the strength he had mustered to stand up left his legs, which couldn’t help but tremble again weakly, as he cursed his own bad luck today with a mournful face.
Li Lai Casino, a notorious local underground casino and usurer well-known to have the Governor of Mo City as a backer, big enough to wield influence in both the underworld and lawful circles.
"Big brother, could there be so misunderstanding?"
Leng Zhenyi took a deep breath and mustered his courage to speak. He felt that this matter still had to be resolved by his stepping in. Who here could help Li Xiaoman? This little manager? Or those staff downstairs who had already been scared off?
Leng Zhenyi looked down on Bai Yan, the little manager, from the bottom of his heart. Did he even deserve to have Li Xiaoman, this beautiful mature woman? Beauty is a disaster; do you have the capability to maintain order and protect Li Xiaoman?
Don’t you know that the Li Lai Casino is a ruthless gang that devours its victims whole?
Perhaps, if he made an effort today, Li Xiaoman would see that this little manager was good for nothing but his strength, and she might turn her affection toward him in one fell swoop! What’s most important, he wanted to let this little manager know that he had great influence!
He wanted Bai Yan to feel fear! He wanted Bai Yan to regret and feel anxious about his earlier actions!
Leng Zhenyi glared at Bai Yan with so hatred.
"Misunderstanding? Ask this damned bitch if it’s a misunderstanding?"
The pot-bellied white man pointed at Li Xiaoman with an extrely arrogant attitude.
"It was clearly you who played dirty, altering the contract! Changing the interest rates! I will not pay this money!"
Li Xiaoman’s face turned beet-red, fuming with anger.
"Not paying? Then co with !"
"I will not go with you! If you dare to ss around, I will call the police!"
"Hmph, if you don’t co with us, then wait for your father to lose an arm!"
Li Xiaoman went pale as she faced the nacing white man and the group of black henchn with ferocious smiles. The reason she owed money to the Li Lai Casino was because of her father’s huge gambling debts.
Though her father had since nded his ways, he had been kidnapped by these people, who were threatening Li Xiaoman with her father’s life to repay the extortionate usurious debt.
Leng Zhenyi was not foolish; seeing their aggressive approach and hearing this conversation, he had guessed the hidden story.
If I were to pay off this debt and save her father, could it be that Li Xiaoman would repay with her affection?
The opportunity has co!
Leng Zhenyi’s eyes lit up, he coughed and smiled at the white man, "Big boss, may I ask how much she owes you?"
"Hey! Buddy, are you thinking of paying it off? Do you fancy playing the hero to save the beauty?"
The white man looked at Leng Zhenyi with a slanted eye.
"Hehe."
The white man chuckled, looked at Leng Zhenyi, gestured a number with his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Fifty million Australian dollars!"
"Fifty... fifty million!"
Leng Zhenyi gasped in shock, instantly dumbfounded.
Dongyi Group’s liquid funds didn’t even add up to fifty million Australian dollars; how could he, an executive vice president, possibly have access to so much money!
