Chapter 187 Man is the butcher, I am the fish on the chopping block.



The next day, Yanling dragged his weak and tired body home. He found that everything was going wrong for him. Even going to put medicine on the fish had landed him in the hospital.

He began to wonder if his smooth sailing in that world was because of Jiang Xin.

Or perhaps it's because of the Ye family?

Could it be that Jiang Xin severed ties with the Ye family, causing him to lose all connection with them, which is why he has been having such bad luck?

Yanling didn't go out that day; he ordered takeout for lunch.

In the evening, Yanling ordered takeout again. This time, the delivery person was an internet celebrity who had lost a bet with a friend and was fulfilling his promise.

He thought he could finish his work after delivering Yanling's order, but he was stunned the moment the customer opened the door.

He was live streaming when, in a moment of distraction, the camera panned across Yan Ling's face, and the previously quiet live stream room erupted in excitement.

This internet celebrity had also watched Yanling's live stream, and he and his friends all disliked him.

He once joked with his friends that if he met a rich girl like Jiang Xin, he wouldn't let go. He would serve her perfectly and then work hard to show his parents-in-law his ambition and ability. He promised to treat her well for the rest of his life and always listen to her.

Instead of inciting her to sever ties with her parents, or using despicable means to force her family to submit.

I never expected to actually meet him in person today. This scumbag who lives off a woman has truly disgraced all men.

He really wanted to yell at someone right now. Even if the deal fell through, there should still be goodwill. Why was he so ruthless towards Jiang Xin? Hadn't she done enough for him?

And what about the children? How could he bear to treat his own children like that?

Yanling saw the dazed delivery guy, who hadn't been wearing a mask when he rushed to open the door, and knew he probably recognized her.

In an instant, he didn't even want the takeout anymore; he just wanted to close the shop as soon as possible to ensure his safety. He didn't know if this person would do anything rash.

To his surprise, the delivery person stuck out a foot to block him from closing the door and asked, "Why would you treat your daughter like that? Don't you have nightmares at night?"

Yanling's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word. He just grabbed Yanling's body and tried to push him out the door.

Seeing that he didn't speak or argue, the man simply said, "I despise you," and left the takeout at the door before walking away.

Yanling knew he couldn't stay here anymore. If that deliveryman leaked his information, he would definitely be confronted by those radical netizens.

He cursed Shu Yuqing in his heart. It was all that woman's fault. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be hiding like a stray dog.

This city doesn't seem safe either. I only have 110,000 yuan left. Where can I go with such a small amount of money?

Yanling was disheartened. He felt he had nowhere to go and didn't know what to do next. He just wanted to live a good life, but why was it so difficult?

After receiving news that Yan Ling had returned home, Wang Baoyu kept thinking about how to teach him a lesson. She had clearly planned not to hold it against him, but this guy was ungrateful and dared to poison her fish stall!

He went to the hospital to inquire and learned that the person had been admitted due to diarrhea. He felt a chill of fear; what consequences would he face if that person had succeeded?

He suddenly remembered the note, so he wrote one himself and secretly slipped it into a house.

Cheng, a petty hoodlum, was good for nothing since childhood. As he grew up, he often stole chickens and dogs and hung out in places like bars. One day, he was about to try his luck at the train station when he found a conspicuous note on the ground as soon as he got to the door.

Curious, he picked it up and examined it. It had an address written on it, and it said that the person renting the place was from out of town and was a disabled person.

Ah Cheng was immediately tempted. Why bother going to the train station? This was like a fat sheep delivered right to his doorstep!

Acheng's parents divorced when he was very young, and both of them remarried. They ignored Acheng and left him to fend for himself. If it weren't for his elderly grandmother giving him a bite to eat, he might have starved to death long ago.

The place he lives in now was left to him by his grandmother. Having lacked education since childhood, Acheng is simple-minded and has an empty mind. When he saw this strange message, he did not doubt the origin of the note at all, and only felt that he had hit the jackpot.

He went back inside to change his clothes, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and went to find his fat sheep according to the address on the note.

Yanling was unaware of the impending danger. He lay stiffly on the bed, pondering what he could do to earn money, as a life of only taking in money and not giving it out was not a long-term solution.

Perhaps because she hadn't slept well last night, Yanling drifted off to sleep as she thought about it.

Yanling rented an old house that was over thirty years old, without an elevator, property management, or security cameras. Acheng easily opened the flimsy security door, took out a fruit knife from his pocket, and tiptoed into the room.

Half-asleep, Yanling felt something on his neck. He reached out to touch it, and the cold touch instantly woke him up.

Before he even opened his eyes, he felt a sharp blade pressed against his flesh, and a male voice rang out above him: "Don't open your eyes! Behave yourself! Tell me your phone unlock password."

At that moment, Yanling felt like a fish on a chopping board, helpless and powerless to resist, as he slowly uttered the unlock code.

Then Acheng opened his mobile banking app and forced him to reveal his bank password. Yanling's veins bulged. He wanted to get up and fight the thug, but as soon as he tried to move his body, the knife sank deeper into his flesh.

He truly understood what it meant to be at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping board, and had no choice but to give up the struggle and reveal the bank password.

Yan Ling sneered inwardly. This stupid guy, doesn't he know that he can be reached through bank transfer?

Acheng had no such concerns. He had stolen countless wallets containing ID cards and bank cards. He had already opened many bank accounts using other people's ID cards, so he wasn't worried about being tracked down.

After a series of actions, Acheng was about to tie Yanling up and leave when he noticed his empty trouser legs. For once, Acheng felt a pang of pity. He simply tied Yanling's hands with a towel and quickly grabbed his phone and left.

Yanling heard the door close and slowly opened his eyes. He struggled to break free of the restraints on his hands. Whether it was because Acheng was soft-hearted or because the towel was simply not suitable for tying people, he broke free in no time and went to the nearest police station to report the crime.

Upon hearing that he had been robbed at home, the police responded quickly. When they arrived at the scene, the police collected fingerprints, took photos, and traced the whereabouts of the money that had been transferred out.

Finally, they regretfully told Yanling that the perpetrator was a seasoned criminal; no fingerprints were left in the house, and he may have even worn shoe covers after entering, leaving no clues whatsoever.

As for where the money went, the police investigation revealed that it was eventually transferred to an overseas account, and it is estimated that it will not be recovered.

After all that fuss, Yanling slumped into a chair, utterly bewildered. He couldn't understand why fate was so cruel to him, leaving him no way out.

That person not only transferred his money, but also took his phone with him, leaving him completely empty-handed.
