Sunday, at the Pei family home.
After a series of clanging and smashing sounds, a figure was thrown out and landed on the sofa, then rolled onto the floor.
Pei Yu screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain.
Qin Xuehua turned pale with fright and screamed as she tried to rush forward, but before she could take a step, two men who had caught up from behind grabbed her shoulders and held her down tightly.
Pei Yongshou's situation was slightly better, but he was still blocked by two extremely burly men. He could only watch helplessly as a burly man covered in tattoos walked step by step toward his son.
The tattooed man stomped on Pei Yu, who had fallen to the ground, and ground him down several times until Pei Yu's face turned deathly pale from the pain. Then he squatted down and plunged the dagger in his hand into the carpet in front of Pei Yu.
The man's eyes hardened, and his voice grew even harsher: "A week has passed, Young Master Pei, has the three million been repaid yet?"
Pei Yu stared at the IOU that the man had slapped onto the coffee table, his face turning pale: "I...I don't have any money..."
The man sneered, "You have no money? Your family has no money either? Fine, then pay with your life!"
With a swift motion, the blade struck Pei Yu's hand, and a blood-stained finger rolled away, coincidentally landing right in front of Qin Xuehua.
Qin Xuehua screamed and nearly fainted.
But before she could completely lose consciousness, a glass of ice-cold water was splashed over her face, causing her to shiver violently and forcing her back to her senses.
Qin Xuehua was trembling all over, both angry and scared. After a long while, she finally spoke in a trembling voice: "Who are you people? Who gave you the audacity to break into a private residence? Do you have no respect for the law?! I... I'm going to call the police! I'm going to sue you!"
The tattooed man sneered, "Paying back debts is a matter of course. Your son has the guts to borrow money at exorbitant interest rates and the guts not to pay it back, so he should be prepared to lose a hand and his life!"
"Let me tell you, if you don't pay this money back today, not only Pei Yu, but neither of you will leave here unscathed!"
"Borrow...borrow money...How could I? My son is only sixteen years old, he's still a child, how could he possibly borrow money from loan sharks!"
That's what I meant...
Even the tattooed man couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Even someone like him who doesn't go online much has heard about some of the messy things the Pei family has done, not to mention that Pei Yu borrowed money from their casino. Of course, he knows the Pei family's background very well.
child?
He just chuckled.
Whose child is so promiscuous at sixteen that they can't have children? Whose sixteen-year-old son doesn't even spare his sister? Whose sixteen-year-old child sleeps with other women?
Let alone children, even someone like him who has long been involved in the gray area and has seen all sorts of chaotic situations could not have this much fun.
The tattooed man, too lazy to waste words with them, patted the IOU on his subordinate's hand and said, "The IOU is right here in black and white, along with your son's signature and fingerprint. Don't give me any more nonsense. Just one question: pay it back or not?"
Qin Xuehua and Pei Yongshou exchanged a glance, but neither spoke immediately.
The man pulled out the dagger, twirled it skillfully in his hand, and said calmly, "You can take your time to think it over. If you delay even a minute, I'll cut off one of your son's fingers."
"After cutting off the fingers, we'll cut off the toes, and after cutting off the toes..." The man's gaze swept over Pei Yu's neck, and he chuckled twice.
Pei Yu felt a chill run through his body and soul, and finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad! Mom! What are you still thinking about! You only have me as your son. If I die, you won't even have anyone to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!"
Pei Yongshou's face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "Shut up!"
"dad!"
Before Pei Yu could say anything more, a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes, and a piercing pain struck him. He watched helplessly as the little finger of his other hand rolled to the side.
The tattooed man sneered, "One minute is up, you can continue."
Pei Yu was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat and didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only look at Pei Yongshou and Qin Xuehua pleadingly.
Qin Xuehua couldn't hold back any longer. She opened her mouth to say, "Stop cutting, I'll go get the money!" But before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Pei Yongshou's sinister gaze.
Qin Xuehua's face was covered in tears: "Yongshou, please save Yu'er, he's our only son."
Pei Yongshou remained silent, then lowered his voice and said, "We do indeed only have one son, but don't forget, we also have a daughter."
Qin Xuehua was taken aback, then a thought struck her: "You mean..."
Bae Yong-soo took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to one of the men blocking his way, but he looked at the tattooed man: "I have a daughter, also sixteen years old. Here is her picture. Take a look and see if she's worth three million."
The tattooed man said "Oh?" and gestured with his chin toward the man holding the phone, saying, "Let me see it."
The man immediately handed the phone to the tattooed man.
The tattooed man stared at the photo for a long time, until Qin Xuehua and Pei Yongshou felt a chill run down their spines, before he nodded: "It's a good piece of work, but whether it's worth three million is not my decision. You'll have to ask our boss."
He paused, then looked up and glanced at the two of them: "Where are they?"
Pei Yongshou immediately said, "They went out to play. I'll call them back right away!"
The tattooed man nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask my boss what he thinks. You guys call him back immediately."
He then tossed Pei Yongshou's phone back to him.
Pei Yongshou immediately took it and then pulled Qin Xuehua aside.
Once everyone was alone, Qin Xuehua couldn't hold back any longer: "If we really want to exchange Pei Ling with them, didn't you say you wanted to keep her to threaten Qin Sheng?"
Pei Yongshou sneered: "Do you think Pei Ling will still listen to us after what happened last time? Her side has long been turned towards Qin Sheng. Do you think she can still help us deal with Qin Sheng?"
and……
Pei Yongshou closed his eyes, his voice low and helpless: "Qin Sheng is no longer the Qin Sheng of the past. We... cannot defeat her."
Qin Xuehua opened her mouth as if to refute, but couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, all he could do was curse a few times.
Pei Yongshou waited until she finished cursing before saying, "We managed to keep those three million from those people with great difficulty. It was saved for Yu'er's medical treatment. Don't let it slip later."
Qin Xuehua hesitated slightly: "But Yu'er's illness... the doctor said there's nothing that can be done."
“If there’s no other way, then there’s no other way. If it really doesn’t work…” Pei Yongshou’s face darkened. “At worst, we can just buy him a woman from somewhere else and have two IVF babies born.”
Qin Xuehua had never thought of this before, but her eyes lit up when Pei Yongshou mentioned it.
Without thinking too much about it, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll call Pei Ling right now!"
