"No, Dad absolutely didn't!" Ye Siren quickly explained, "Even if Dad were to die, he wouldn't use Xiaoying to pay off his debts."
"Uncle, how much money do you owe them?" Xia Xiang asked cautiously, tilting her head.
“It’s only five million,” Li Daxiong said with a sly smile. “However, if I use you to pay off the debt, I can pay it off immediately, and there might even be some left over.”
"Hey!" The debt collector slammed his fist on the table impatiently. "We're a legitimate underground money exchange, we don't do human trafficking! Don't slander us! I'm suing you for defamation!"
"Dad, if I die today, I won't blame you," Xia Xiang said, crying. "But could you please stop associating with people who are involved in gambling, prostitution, and drugs?"
"Dad will never be friends with these scumbags again! Dad was wrong!" Ye Siren was already crying and stamping his feet in frustration.
But Li Daxiong wouldn't listen at all and kept trying to sell Xia Xiang to the debt collectors.
"Uncle, you've really messed with me." Xia Xiang said as she raised her hand, her long, slender fingers pinching the tip of the knife pressed against her neck.
Seeing this, Li Daxiong was about to stab Xia Xiang in the neck, but Xia Xiang broke the knife in two with her fingers.
"Trying to fool me with a fake?" Xia Xiang asked, tilting her head as she held up the broken piece in front of him, startling Li Daxiong into widening his eyes in terror.
Li Daxiong: That knife is real! It's real!
"Ye Siren! Ye..." Li Daxiong shouted in a panic.
But Xia Xiang wouldn't give him that chance. She punched Li Daxiong in the stomach, so hard that he couldn't make a sound. His face turned red, and he curled up and fell to the ground.
"Alright, does everyone have anything else to say?" Xia Xiang turned around and looked at the debt collectors.
The hand behind his back moved stealthily, slipping some drug into Li Daxiong's throat. If he survived, the rest of his life would be spent in pain and nightmares—
"No, no," the debt collector stammered, pointing to Li Daxiong on the ground, "that person was supposed to give us..."
Xia Xiang glanced at Ye Siren subconsciously, and seeing that Ye Siren didn't have any expression she didn't want to see, she stepped aside with satisfaction, and the debt collectors simply dragged Li Daxiong away...
Not long after the group left, Ye Siren felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that his kindness would almost harm his daughter, and he was somewhat afraid to face Xia Xiang.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Xia Xiang called out casually.
"I'm sorry, Xiangxiang, I'm not a good father." Ye Siren bowed his head and apologized.
Xia Xiang looked at the large bruise on his forehead and this time chose to forgive him. "It's okay."
"What do you mean it's okay!" Xiong Ge slammed open the door of the old man's house, glaring angrily at Ye Siren and shouting.
"Ye Siren! How could you do this?!" Xiong Ge was trembling with rage.
She was originally planning to forgive him because he had stood in front of them to fight against the demonized humans, even though he was a Muggle.
And what happened? Forgive him my ass! That rotten person!
She walked over to Ye Siren and Xia Xiang in a few steps, pulled Xia Xiang behind her, and slapped Ye Siren across the face.
"Mom" Xia Xiang grabbed Xiong Ge's arm, wanting to explain.
"You brat!" Xiong Ge took a deep breath and yelled at Xia Xiang, "Even if he's your father, you can't listen to everything he says! He's going to use you to pay off his debts! I heard those debt collectors talking about it when I arrived!"
"You are never allowed to see this dead man again! Absolutely not!"
After Xiong Ge finished speaking, he launched into a tirade against Ye Siren, and finally grabbed whatever he could and threw it at him, smashing the old man's buttocks to pieces.
Xia Xiang couldn't get a word in edgewise. When she tried to explain for Ye Siren, Ye Siren was scolded even more harshly, so she simply shut up.
Ye Siren didn't know why, nor did he explain, and let Xiong Ge hit and scold him.
Finally, after Xiong Ge got tired of hitting him, Xia Xiang started to explain...
