Chapter 160: Crippled

Seeing Brother Huan coming to collect the debt, Lin Shuhai showed a panicky expression, at a loss as to what to do.

He knew that Brother Huan was a figure in the underworld, ruthless and with several lives on his hands.

As an ordinary person with no money and no power, when encountering such figures from society, he belonged to the vulnerable group. He dared not offend those people from the underworld, otherwise the consequences would be extremely miserable.

When he first discovered he had lung cancer, Lin Shuhai had borrowed usurious money from Brother Huan. Now the debt was piling up higher and higher, making it impossible to pay back.

He had no special skills, couldn't make big money, and whatever he earned was not even enough to cover the interest.

Brother Huan had already brought people over to demand payment several times, and his attitude was increasingly hostile and vicious.

"Brother Huan, I really don't have the money right now. Could you give me a few more days? As soon as I have the money, I will definitely pay you back. I swear I won't stall," Lin Shuhai quickly stepped up to Brother Huan, bowing and scraping as he spoke, while taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulling one out, and offering it to him.

Brother Huan wore an arrogant look, took the cigarette, and let Lin Shuhai light it for him.

Coming here this time, he had no intention of letting Lin Shuhai off easily.

After all, he was a loan shark, not someone soft-hearted; what he wanted was ruthlessness.

In his line of work, without enough ruthlessness, there was no money to be made.

"Lin Shuhai, I must get the money today, or else your end will be miserable." Brother Huan took a fierce drag of the cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke. "I happen to be short of cash these past few days. If you don't satisfy me today, you definitely won't have an easy time."

He had been having bad luck lately, losing all his money at gambling, which left him in a very foul mood.

Just as well, Lin Shuhai still had unpaid debts here, so he had come over.

If he couldn't collect the money in his current frame of mind, he would definitely tear the man limb from limb.

The dozen or so thugs following behind Brother Huan surrounded Lin Shuhai to prevent him from escaping.

Looking at the fierce and vicious expressions of these thugs, Lin Shuhai felt a deep sense of terror.

"Brother Huan, I just got discharged from the hospital and haven't found a suitable job yet. I really don't have the money to pay you back," Lin Shuhai pleaded with a face full of desperation. "Brother Huan, as long as you give me a little more time, I will definitely find a job, and then I'll have the money to pay you."

"Screw your mother," Brother Huan cursed harshly at Lin Shuhai, and then delivered a kick, sending him crashing to the ground. "I am no philanthropist; I don't have the heart to pity you. If you know what's good for you, pay up; otherwise, I'll cripple you."

Lin Shuhai was struck in the abdomen, staggered backward, and fell to the ground, his face contorted in pain.

Seeing her father being beaten, Lin Susu was filled with indignation. "What right do you have to hit my father? If you don't leave right now, I'm calling the police!"

Walking over to help Lin Shuhai up, Lin Susu stared angrily at Brother Huan and his gang.

"Well, well, Lin Shuhai, I never expected you to have such a pretty daughter. Tsk tsk, what an absolute masterpiece." At the first sight of Lin Susu, Brother Huan was utterly dazzled. "So young, and still a student."

Lin Susu was youthful and vibrant, with delicate features and no makeup, making her even more stunning than major celebrities.

When this group of thugs laid eyes on such a beauty, their eyes naturally lit up, and their hearts burned with irrepressible heat.

"Don't come closer." Seeing Brother Huan walking toward her step by step with a lewd smile on his face, Lin Susu felt terrified.

She was still a student and harbored immense fear toward these underworld figures.

"Lin Shuhai, how about this: let your daughter spend the night with me, and we'll consider that the interest for this month." Brother Huan stared at Lin Shuhai with a smile on his face. "I can give you an extra month's grace period. This condition is generous enough, isn't it?"

Being able to sleep with such a top-tier student like Lin Susu, Brother Huan felt it was entirely worth it.

Besides, he had only come today to collect a bit of interest anyway.

Seeing that Lin Shuhai had such an exquisite daughter, Brother Huan's hands itched, and he instantly changed his mind.

"Brother Huan, this won't do. She is my only daughter!" Hearing that Brother Huan was targeting Lin Susu, Lin Shuhai's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly staggered over and pleaded, "I will definitely pay back the money, please just give me some time!"

No matter how much of a scumbag Lin Shuhai might be, he would never let anyone ruin his daughter.

He would rather suffer himself than let his daughter be defiled by others.

"Damn your mother, you really don't know what's good for you." Brother Huan kicked Lin Shuhai once more, his expression vicious. "I'll put it bluntly here today: let your daughter accompany me for a night, and this month's interest is canceled."

"Lin Shuhai, our Brother Huan is already being merciful to you. Don't be ungrateful. If we take matters into our own hands, you won't have a good ending," a yellow-haired youth advised Lin Shuhai.

"You've got to be open-minded. Our Brother Huan just wants to sleep with your daughter for a night, not take her life. Besides, women sooner or later have to be broken in by men anyway. Our Brother Huan is just doing you a favor."

"Haha, exactly! Our Brother Huan is doing your daughter a favor, letting her experience a man's touch early on, and you even get a benefit out of it, right?"

Brother Huan's lackeys chimed in one after another, wearing sinister grins on their faces.

In truth, their own hearts were racing as well.

They had never laid eyes on a top-tier student like Lin Susu before; she was far prettier than any student girls they had played with in the past.

"You beasts, scumbags!" Hearing these foul words, Lin Susu's face flushed red with anger.

"Haha, you're right, we are scumbags!" Brother Huan laughed heartily, walking toward Lin Susu step by step. "Since you already said I'm a scumbag, what harm is there in acting like one for real?"

"Brother Huan, no!" Seeing that Brother Huan was about to make a move on Lin Susu, Lin Shuhai rushed forward to stop him.

"Get lost!" Brother Huan lashed out with a kick, sending him flying. "Hold him down! Don't let him ruin my fun."

Hearing Brother Huan's command, a few of the lackeys hurriedly rushed over and pinned Lin Shuhai down.

Regardless of Lin Shuhai's desperate cries and pleas, Brother Huan remained completely unmoved.

Seeing Brother Huan approaching with a lewd expression, Lin Susu hurriedly hid behind Yang Fan.

She was a woman kept by Yang Fan, so in her heart, she believed Yang Fan would help her.

And her intuition was correct—how could Yang Fan watch his own woman being defiled? Even a single touch was out of the question.

The reason he hadn't intervened until now was simply to let Lin Shuhai suffer a bit.

Only by doing so would Yang Fan's intervention make Lin Shuhai truly grateful to him.

" brat, get lost, or I'll cripple you," Brother Huan walked up to Yang Fan and said with an arrogant sneer.

Just some punk; he didn't take him seriously at all.

With so many of his own thugs around, he had nothing to fear.

"Do you know who she is?" Yang Fan pointed at Lin Susu, fixing his gaze on Brother Huan.

Brother Huan curled his lip and asked, "Who is she?"

"She is my woman," Yang Fan said calmly. "And since you dared to harbor evil thoughts toward my woman, I'm going to cripple your third leg."

"Screw your—" Hearing that Yang Fan intended to cripple his third leg, Brother Huan was enraged and prepared to curse him out before making a move.

Before he could finish his words, a brutal impact struck his groin, accompanied by the distinct sound of something shattering.

"Aargh..." Cupping his crotch, Brother Huan curled up on the ground, his face twisted in agonizing pain.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present completely stunned.
