Lin Yuan spoke slowly.

"Uncle Sun, how much money do you owe exactly?"

Sun Jian raised his head, his eyes filled with despair, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair.

He licked his dry lips, opened his mouth, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Lin Yuan, I... I owe one million yuan in high-interest loans, and now with the interest compounding, it has grown to four or five million yuan. I really don't know what to do."

Lin Yuan pretended to think, but in reality, he already had a plan in mind.

"I don't know why, back then..."

Lin Yuan coldly replied, "I can help you pay this money, but what will I get in return?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian was immediately startled.

His first reaction was that Lin Yuan wasn't satisfied with winning over Sun Yuxin, and had his eye on his eldest daughter, wanting to have his cake and eat it too, even though they were both sisters.

His face instantly turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with despair, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The old man suddenly stood up, his voice trembling slightly: "Lin Yuan, you...you've gone too far!"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, watching this overconfident clown continue his performance.

"My second daughter was in your room last night. Aren't one or two enough?"

Lin Yuan slowly stood up and walked to Sun Jian, looking down at Sun's father.

"Uncle Sun, what kind of person do you take me for? I'm helping you get rid of those loan sharks not for your daughter, but because you're my friend's father!"

Sun Jian was startled by Lin Yuan's words. He was stunned for a moment, as if he had been hit on the head.

He hurriedly said, "Lin Yuan, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was just confused for a moment."

His anxious voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of pleading, begging Lord Lin Yuan not to hold a grudge against him.

Don't offend this big spender because of a moment of impulse.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, trying to make himself look like he was enduring, but in fact he had already thought of a solution.

"Uncle Sun, I can help you get rid of the loan sharks, but you have to agree to one condition."

Sun Jian nodded hurriedly, as if he had grasped at a lifeline.

"Tell me, tell me, I'll agree to anything."

"If you dare to gamble again, I will use drastic measures to help you kick your gambling addiction."

Sun Jian was startled upon hearing this.

Recalling what happened last night, he knew that Lin Yuan meant what he said.

So he quickly swore, "Lin Yuan, I swear, I will never gamble again. Once I get through this, I will go to another city to investigate the market and start a small business."

Lin Yuan squinted and nodded.

Perhaps Sun Jian has some flaws, but he's not entirely without merit.

"Uncle Sun, what kind of work did you do before?"

Sun Jian sighed, and after recalling that painful past, he spoke eloquently.

“I worked for a seafood company in Shanghai, but I was suppressed by a large corporation and the company went bankrupt. Later, I developed a gambling addiction.”

A cold laugh rang out, the sound like a sharp sword piercing straight into the other person's heart.

The lie was exposed without mercy.

"Don't try to fool me! Don't think I don't know that you were already hopelessly addicted to gambling long before the company went bankrupt, right?"

Lin Yuan's words left him speechless, completely at a loss for words.

Sun Jian lowered his head, looking like a thief caught red-handed, his face full of shame.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but he found that his throat was blocked by something, and he could not make a sound.

After a long while, Sun Jian finally spoke, "Lin Yuan, please don't be angry. I... I did get into gambling before the company went bankrupt. At that time, it was the leading seafood tycoon in our industry who took me to the gambling den."

"Alas, it's all my fault for being bewitched, thinking I could make a fortune there. As a result, I got deeper and deeper into debt, not only losing everything but also incurring a huge debt that I can never repay."

Lin Yuan listened quietly to Sun Jian's words, and a slight thought stirred in his heart.

Originally, this person was not lazy or gluttonous, which is why he ended up in this situation.

Perhaps things are not so simple.

The reason Sun Jian embarked on this path of no return was not entirely due to his own fault, but rather because someone deliberately set a trap for him, leading him into the abyss.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes softened considerably.

"Uncle Sun, since things have come to this, there's no use in regretting it. However, I happen to have a job opportunity at a diving base in the South China Sea for you. But the condition is that you must completely give up your gambling habit and start a new life."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes lit up.

This person clearly saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

He looked at Lin Yuan with great excitement, his eyes filled with gratitude, and nodded repeatedly.
