[Godfather, please keep this in mind]

Bang bang bang!

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Zhou Yi! It's time to pay back the money!"

A deafening roar erupted.

Zhou Yi sat up straight instantly, as if he had risen from the dead.

I can still vaguely see the scene from my dream: a software engineer with a blurry face, who is about to discuss the mysteries of life with me.

Unexpectedly, a dump truck, lacking any sense of decency, suddenly fell from the sky and knocked him into the air.

His gaze unconsciously searched around, and his eyes gradually focused.

It turned out someone was knocking on the door.

The knocking grew louder and louder.

A thin, messy little girl, holding a wooden stick, stood trembling in front of the bed, seemingly ready to fight the person knocking on the door.

Zhou Yi sat down on the edge of the bed and pushed the little girl away.

"Damn it! This is a funeral dirge!"

He grabbed the blood-stained tetanus knife from the bedside table, took a few steps to the door, and peered through the crack in the door.

Three people.

According to the theory of canyon relativity, if the other party really wants to mess with him, they can just kick down the door; there's absolutely no need to alert them.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yi pulled open the door.

A dark, pockmarked face came into view, behind which stood two burly men.

"Give me back the money!" The man with the pockmarked face stared with his large, round eyes.

"You've got the wrong person! I didn't borrow any money!" Zhou Yi said expressionlessly.

Black Pockmarked Man waved the IOU in his hand. "Your ex-wife borrowed 100,000 yuan, and you were the guarantor. Now that she can't be found, of course you have to pay it back!"

The word "ex-wife" instantly evoked memories in Zhou Yi's mind.

The Book of Changes remains silent.

Did I take the wrong passage when I traveled through time?

The family was destitute, and to make matters worse, his ex-wife cashed out his money.

That's right, this body is married and has a little daughter.

The lesson learned from being a sucker who takes over a bad deal—what a painful realization.

Seeing Zhou Yi remain silent, the man with pockmarks curled into a wicked smile. "What? Don't want to pay me back? I..."

Zhou Yi immediately interrupted, "Get lost! I have no money! Go find that bitch!"

Blackie's crooked smile froze abruptly. "Damn it! You're asking for it! Beat him up!"

Before the bodyguards could react, a loud shout came from afar: "Spare his life!"

Then a bald man led two others in strides toward them.

The spirit of the Book of Changes was shaken.

Could it be that his identity as a rich young master can no longer be hidden?

The bald man approached and stood opposite the man with pockmarks, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Zhou Yi said, "You've finally arrived! They wanted to kill me!"

"If you want to kill Zhou Yi, you'll have to get past me first!" the bald man said calmly.

Black Pockmarked Man glared angrily: "Bald Qiang, you're meddling in other people's business, I'll take you down with me!"

Zhou Yi's mind was focused and steady!

Just as the atmosphere reached its most tense point, Bald Qiang suddenly pulled out an IOU and looked at Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, 100,000! Pay up!"

this……

Zhou Yi put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sky.

This must be a dream! Where are the reasonable dump trucks?

Even the man with black pockmarks was rendered silent.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Bald Qiang, mind your manners, first come, first served!"

The bald man scoffed, "You're all about cheating and swindling, and you want to talk to me about manners?"

So you're saying there's no room for negotiation?

"No negotiation! If you're not happy, then let's fight!"

Both bodyguards tensed, gripped their weapons, and glared at each other with fierce expressions.

Black Pockmarked Man's tone changed: "How about I beat him up first, and then you talk to him?"

The bald man looked Zhou Yi up and down and shook his head: "If you beat him to death, you'll pay back his money?"

This skinny frame can't withstand a good beating.

"What's the panic? This kid's sister-in-law is the owner of Xue Ru Dumpling Shop." Black Pockmarked Man chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"If that doesn't work, he has a beautiful little daughter at home, which can be used to offset a lot of money."

Xue Ru Dumpling Shop?

Just thinking about the graceful proprietress in her cheongsam made Bald Qiang swallow hard, and a smile bloomed on his face like a chrysanthemum.

"Hahaha! Little Zhou, don't rush to pay me back. We can pay you back whenever we have the money."

Black Pockmarked Man nodded in agreement, then turned and scolded, "What are you doing? Put down your weapons! What if you scare our Brother Zhou Yi?"

The bodyguards scratched their heads and then laughed.

The atmosphere was harmonious for a moment.

Zhou Yi's lips twitched.

So those two bastards were putting on a show with him!

So why would the other party agree to have their predecessor act as guarantor? It turns out they had their eyes on their cheap sister-in-law.

The next step will likely be compound interest, ballooning to hundreds of thousands or even millions. If they can't collect the debt, they'll force women into prostitution.

Black Pockmarked Man and Bald Qiang left arm in arm, laughing heartily.

"What if the boss's wife doesn't comply?" Bald Qiang asked in a low voice.

Black Pockmarked Man sneered, "Then don't blame me for crippling her brother-in-law's entire family..."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Zhou Yi took out a dagger and sat down in front of the door to sharpen it.

He's after his sister-in-law?

I just want to ask if they need my help?

As he continued grinding, Zhou Yi's stomach suddenly rumbled.

I'm so hungry!

I only had one piece of black bread for dinner yesterday. I was hoping to numb my stomach by sleeping, but now that I've been woken up, I'm completely wide awake.

How about we go and ask your sister-in-law for some money?

However, Zhou Yi shook his head when he thought of the 180-kilogram strong man who was kicked away yesterday.

My cheap sister-in-law has such long legs, I can't mess with her.

Life is tough, even the Book of Changes sighs.

Looking up, the neighbors watching had a variety of expressions.

Pity, mockery, regret, and so on.

He was once a model worker who was known for his hard work, but he was ruined and lost everything because he married the wrong person.
