In his previous life, he borrowed from everyone he knew to raise money for his surgery, enduring countless scornful looks and contempt, and ultimately receiving no kind words in return.

In this lifetime, I'm sorry, this matter has nothing to do with him.

If you want to save Zhao Xiaoya, fine, I've come up with a solution for you. If you don't do it yourself, you can't blame anyone else.

Zhao Xiaoya is innocent, but so is he.

Stop trying to use moral blackmail. As long as I have no morals, morality can't blackmail me.

Faced with these two hypocritical ingrates, sorry, he has already sealed his heart and locked away his love. His heart is now as cold as the knife used to kill fish in RT-Mart for ten years.

Selling blood?

Borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates?

Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were both stunned for a few seconds upon hearing these two suggestions.

Immediately,

Both of them couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. If they weren't going to lend the money, they shouldn't have. What did it mean to make them sell their blood?

Zhou Ling, realizing from Zhou Chen's absolute statement that the loan was impossible, immediately abandoned her pitiful demeanor. Her eyes quickly filled with resentment as she glared at Zhou Chen and angrily said:

"Zhou Chen, you are so heartless. You would rather use your money to help people who have nothing to do with you than help Xiao Ya. You are ruthless and heartless. If anything happens to Xiao Ya, you will be the murderer who killed her. How could God let someone like you make money and get rich? I curse you. Sooner or later you will lose everything."

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Ling's true colors were revealed, exposing her true nature.

Zhou Chen was not surprised at all.

Is that right? This is the real you, Zhou Ling. Keep talking. I'd like to hear what other foul-smelling filth you can spew out of your mouth.

"Zhou Chen, let me tell you, I've recorded everything you just said. If you don't pay for Xiaoya's treatment, I'll expose what you just said so that netizens all over the country can see how ruthless you are. If you don't want to ruin your reputation, give us the money right now, and we might still have some sympathy for you. Otherwise, don't blame us for going all out against you."

Zhou Chuan suddenly took out his phone, waved it, and threatened.

He stopped pretending. After suffering a few losses, Zhou Chuan matured, became smarter, and learned to gather evidence.

Zhou Ling looked at Zhou Chuan with some surprise, because she hadn't expected that Zhou Chuan had secretly recorded Zhou Chen's heartless words.

"Hehe, Third Sister, I understand the principle of learning from mistakes. He recorded us before, now I'm going to let him taste what it's like to be recorded too."

Zhou Chuan's face showed a smug look.

Zhou Ling was secretly delighted. With the recording from earlier, she no longer wanted to lend the money. Instead, she wanted to ask for it directly. If Zhou Chen refused, she would have Zhou Chuan expose it on the internet for netizens across the country to see.

“Zhou Chen, give me the money, and I can get my fourth brother to delete the recording immediately. You're good, I'm good, everyone's good. If you don't give it, then none of us will be good. Once people know that you are such a heartless person, your business will no longer be popular, and your business will not be far from going bankrupt.”

Zhou Ling acted as if she thought she had Zhou Chen under her thumb.

Zhou Chen chuckled, casually took out a voice recorder, and said indifferently, "Coincidentally, I also recorded something, and I even recorded it at the police station. You two spread all sorts of rumors about me just to see me. You two should put the recording online, and I'll put it online too. Let's see who netizens believe."

A fight to the death?

Alright, let's see who dies in the end.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling immediately stopped and gave up.

"You...how could you be so despicable!"

"Are you even human? We just wanted to borrow money from you, why did you have to be so cruel?"

Zhou Chuan was truly furious. Zhou Chen had secretly recorded him again. Did Zhou Chen have to record everything 24 hours a day?

When Zhou Chen brazenly called him despicable, Zhou Chen almost laughed out of anger. "You secretly recorded him yourself, and you have the nerve to call others despicable?"

Are you out of your mind?

"Zhou Chen, I'm begging you one last time, give me 200,000 yuan, or else... or I'll die right here in front of you, don't force me!"

Zhou Ling suddenly grabbed her neck, her face turning red from holding her breath.

To be honest, Zhou Chen was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

What the hell is this? Threatening me with your life? Are you out of your mind, Zhou Ling?

Whether you live or die is none of my business.

Do you think I'm scared?!

Zhou Chen recalled a joke: someone asked someone for a favor, but before even opening their mouth, they demanded that the other person kneel down first, and then began begging for help.

This thought process is truly bizarre.

He used to think that Zhou Chuan, that good-for-nothing, was the dumbest of the three ingrates. Now, he decided to take back that conclusion. The dumbest one should be you, Zhou Ling.

You're really brain-dead!

Whether you, Zhou Ling, live or die is of no concern to me. Threatening me with your life? You think you can threaten me? That's utterly absurd.

It's both hilarious and funny.

"If I die in front of you, you will have nightmares for the rest of your life. Even if I become a ghost after I die, I will not let you go."

Zhou Ling threatened again.

Zhou Chen: "..."

He really has no sense of prophecy, and he's even indulging in feudal superstition, hasn't he?

You, Zhou Ling, are truly unbeatable.

Hurry up and die, stop talking nonsense. I really want to see if a brain-dead person like you will become a brain-dead ghost after you die and seek revenge.

Let's begin!

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand, gesturing for Zhou Ling to invite him. If there had been a chair, Zhou Chen would have preferred to sit and watch how Zhou Ling would kill him.

"Fine, you forced me to this, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Zhou Ling immediately switched to using both hands to strangle herself.

In an instant, his face turned bright red.

Zhou Chuan was puzzled by what he saw, unable to understand how threatening Zhou Chen with his own life could have any effect.

If you're going to strangle someone, you should strangle Zhou Chen's neck instead.

"Third sister, let go! Don't do anything rash!"

Without thinking twice, Zhou Chuan quickly reached out to stop him.

Cough cough...

Zhou Ling was no match for Zhou Chuan in strength, and after being stopped, her body instinctively gasped for air.

She never expected Zhou Chen to be so ruthless, remaining unmoved even as she watched him nearly strangle her to death.

At that moment, she knew that no matter what she did, Zhou Chen would not take the money.

Zhou Chen would only laugh at her.

"Let's go."

Glancing at Zhou Chen's mocking gaze, Zhou Ling, not wanting to be a laughingstock any longer, pulled Zhou Chuan along and turned to leave.

"Not dead?"

"Continue?"

The sound from behind made Zhou Ling's face turn extremely ugly, and she immediately quickened her pace to escape.

Zhou Chen watched the two ingrates disappear, then looked away. He knew that Zhou Ling wasn't determined to die. Even without Zhou Chuan's intervention, when she was really about to suffocate, Zhou Ling would let go on her own because her body's instincts wouldn't allow her to do so.

Therefore, what appears to be a threat is actually a joke.
