Chapter 181: I’ll Pay His Debt

The two men didn’t even bat an eyelid.

“It seems you’ve chosen to lose your legs?” One of the men said expressionlessly, his eyes scanning around.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped at a shop across the street where a thick wooden stick stood.

“I’ll go get the stick.” The man pointed at the stick and walked towards it.

Hearing this, the young man’s face turned as white as paper. His body trembled uncontrollably. He begged the other man with a face full of terror, “Big brother… please… don’t break my legs… Please have mercy… Let me live… I’ll definitely repay you as soon as possible…”

At this moment, his heart was filled with self-blame and regret. He regretted that he had listened to his friends and indulged in gambling with them. Now, he had not only lost all his possessions but also had a huge debt.

Watching the man with the stick walk towards him step by step, the young man struggled. He wanted to escape, but the other man was holding him down tightly, and he couldn’t move at all.

The man with the stick reached the young man. He raised the stick, a cruel smile on his lips, “Enjoy the feeling of having your legs broken!”

He swung the stick hard towards the young man’s legs.

The young man was filled with despair. He closed his eyes in despair, tears silently sliding down his pale cheeks. After losing his legs, his future would be bleak. He might as well be dead.

Just then, a hand, as white and delicate as sheep fat jade, smooth and lustrous, suddenly reached out from the side. With lightning speed, it firmly caught the stick that was about to land on the young man.

“How much does he owe you? I’ll pay it back.” A clear and pleasant voice, tinged with a hint of coldness, followed.

The young man opened his eyes in astonishment and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a woman standing there. Her face was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, exquisite and elegant, like a heavenly beauty. Every movement she made exuded an elegant and holy aura, making people dare not disrespect her.

The two men were also surprised, looking at Ling Yao.

“How much does he owe you?” Ling Yao asked again.

The two men came to their senses and looked at Ling Yao with lecherous eyes. “Who are you to him?” They had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

“Don’t waste my time. How much?” Ling Yao’s voice was cold.

The two men let out a sinister laugh and looked at each other.

One of them said, “10,000 yuan! But, if you’re willing to play with us brothers, we can be generous and give him a few more days to pay back the money.”

Hearing this, the young man’s face flushed red with anger. He glared at the two men, “I only owe you 2,000 yuan. How did it become 10,000 yuan? You’re basically robbing me!”

The man who had been holding the young man down glared fiercely, “I said it’s 10,000 yuan, so it’s 10,000 yuan. What are you talking so much for? Watch out, I’ll beat you up!” He threatened the young man by waving his fist.

The young man trembled with fear but still mustered up the courage to look at Ling Yao, “I don’t know you. Don’t worry about me. Just leave! These guys are ruthless. They’ll do anything.” Although he desperately wanted her help, he didn’t want to involve her.

The man who was holding the young man down raised his hand and slapped the young man hard, “You’re asking for it.”

The slap was hard. The young man felt a burning sensation on his face. He didn’t dare to speak anymore, but his eyes were filled with anxiety as he looked at Ling Yao.

“10,000 yuan, right? Let’s go to the bank. I’ll withdraw the money for you.”

The two men looked at each other, not believing Ling Yao, “You’re really going to pay us back for him?” After all, it was 10,000 yuan, not 100 yuan.

“Do you want it or not? If you do, then come with me.” Ling Yao looked at them impatiently.

The two men looked at each other and followed Ling Yao.

The young man got up from the ground and walked to Ling Yao’s side, “I don’t know you. Why are you helping me pay back the money?” He really couldn’t understand. 10,000 yuan was no small amount. Even his own relatives probably wouldn’t be so generous, readily offering such a large sum of money to help him.

Ling Yao smiled slightly, “Maybe it’s fate.” In her previous life, whenever she encountered difficulties, she would listen to his songs. His singing was filled with infectiousness and power. It gave her warmth and encouragement, helping her overcome her difficulties time and time again.

The young man pursed his lips, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, “I will definitely pay you back.”

“Okay!” Ling Yao nodded. She knew that it wouldn’t be long before he was discovered by an entertainment company in Beijing. Soon, he would become a household name.

Ma Meifang pulled her daughters over, “Ling Yao, you’re really going to get the money for them?” She couldn’t understand why Ling Yao, who didn’t know the young man, would pay his debt.

Ling Yao nodded, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”

“I’ll go with you.” Ma Meifang looked at the two men with worry. If the two men had bad intentions towards Ling Yao, she couldn’t do anything to them, but she could buy Ling Yao time to escape.

“Alright.” Ling Yao smiled and nodded, walking towards the bank.

Not far away, a military vehicle was parked quietly.

In the back seat, sat a handsome man with an outstanding aura.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Ling Yao’s retreating figure. He had seen everything that had just happened. Although he was also filled with doubts, he felt that Ling Yao must have her reasons for doing this.

Ling Yao felt a gaze on her back. She turned her head and saw a military vehicle not far away. She raised her eyebrows slightly and retracted her gaze.

Chu Lie smiled faintly and retracted his gaze. He gave an order to the guard sitting in the passenger seat, “Find out the details of those two men and the forces behind them. Destroy their forces completely.” His voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination and authority.

“Yes!”

Chu Lie looked at the direction Ling Yao had left again, and the smile on his lips deepened. Ling Yao had saved his life. He would do everything in his power to protect her and repay her.
