On the first floor of a quiet residential building, a burly man with a dragon tattooed on his left upper arm and a tiger tattooed on his right upper arm lingered at the door.

He was a burly man with clearly defined muscles, wearing a tight white vest, and his eyes revealed that he was waiting for someone.

Dragons and tigers coiled and twisted on his skin, and none of the neighbors dared to approach and speak to this burly man.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Yuan felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It's that person again!

Ever since Lin Yuan moved in, people have been coming to his door from time to time to collect debts.

I've heard that Xia Qingxue's ex-husband is a gambling addict who owes the casino a lot of money.

Unable to find her ex-husband, she was confronted by gangsters demanding money from her.

This is also the main reason why he wants to move away from here.

Lin Yuan quickly sent a message: "Landlord, that person is here again. Are you home?"

The phone rang from the hallway, crisp and abrupt.

The sound was unusually loud in the quiet hallway.

The burly man stopped and looked around, searching for the source of the sound.

Xia Qingxue was quickly found and cornered in the stairwell by a fierce-looking man.

She leaned against the wall, her face pale, her white shirt clinging to her chest heaving, her eyes filled with terror.

"Still trying to hide? Hahahaha..."

The rough voice suddenly rang out, making people's eardrums ache.

The burly man with a face full of scars and a muscular build revealed a ferocious and terrifying smile. He locked his gaze on his prey and slowly approached step by step.

At this moment, Xia Qingxue felt as if the air around her had frozen, and the silence was terrifying.

Only the heavy breathing and footsteps of the burly man echoed in the narrow, dimly lit stairwell, striking their ears again and again.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the sky, sharp and ear-piercing.

The scream pierced the still air and echoed for a long time in the otherwise tranquil environment.

It was chilling and sent shivers down my spine.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

Despite the crowd watching from the sidelines, no one dared to step forward and offer a helping hand.

They either showed fear or looked at it indifferently.

After all, none of this had anything to do with him.

The burly man continued to laugh menacingly, his laughter echoing throughout the corridor.

He pressed closer and closer to Xia Qingxue.

Poor Xia Qingxue was already terrified, her face pale and her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

Terrified, she retreated repeatedly, trying to escape.

However, the stairwell was so narrow that she had nowhere to escape.

"Let her go!"

A roar was heard, followed by a lithe figure rushing towards them.

The person who arrived was Lin Yuan.

He was filled with regret and anger.

If I hadn't interfered by sending the message, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

While I'm at it, I'll try some master-level martial arts to vent all the negative emotions I've been holding back tonight.

Upon hearing the angry shout, the burly man turned around abruptly and glared fiercely in the direction from which the sound came.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan flashed forward and rushed towards the burly man.

In an instant, Lin Yuan raised his elbow and slammed it into the burly man with all his might.

Caught off guard, the burly man was struck squarely by the blow.

With a muffled thud, the burly man screamed in agony as he clutched his bleeding nose.

Blood flowed from between his fingers, staining his already hideous face red.

"Go!" came the angry shout from the newcomer, the warning deafening.

Despite this, Xia Qingxue, who was being held tightly, was unable to break free from the strong man's powerful grip.

The burly man wiped the blood flowing from his nose with his hand.

He glared at the person who attacked him, wincing in pain, and gritted his teeth to regain his footing.

"Heh heh, kid, this isn't your business! This woman's husband owes us a huge sum of money, and I'm here today specifically to collect it! Since ancient times, paying back debts has always been a matter of course!"

As the burly man spoke menacingly, he symbolically shook Xia Qingxue's arm, which he was tightly gripping.

At this moment, Xia Qingxue, who was standing to the side, had her hands tightly held by the strong man.

Her face turned deathly pale with pain, but she still didn't forget to defend Lin Yuan.

"Brother, I don't know this person, please let him go!"

But was that burly man the type to give up so easily?

Hearing Xia Qingxue's words, he showed no intention of letting go.

Instead, he sneered and said, "Fine, since that's how it is, let's let this 'hero saving the damsel in distress' guy see this clearly!"

After saying that, he suddenly grabbed Xia Qingxue's hand and forcibly dragged her in front of Lin Yuan.

Because the burly man used too much force, Xia Qingxue's feet kept scraping against the ground.

The shoes she was wearing had long since fallen to the ground, revealing her fair and delicate little feet.

What's even more heartbreaking is that her toes were rubbed raw by the ground, leaving several cuts and bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's anger surged.

"Look what you've done!"

My goddess's legs... give me back my beautiful legs!

Without hesitation, he swung his elbow again, then clenched his fingers together and slammed them hard against the burly man's arm.

With a crisp "crack," the burly man's arm bent down in an extremely strange position.
