After pressing herself against Lin Dong, Bai Jue began to fumble around.
Soon, Lin Dong's face turned red, and his mouth felt dry as he hurriedly said, "Sister Bai Jue, stop, I have something to tell you."
"Oh? What is it?" Bai Jue did not stop her movements and casually asked.
"Sister Bai Jue, I made six hundred thousand today. I can redeem you from Brother Jian's hands now!"
Once Lin Dong said this, Bai Jue's body stiffened for a moment.
However, she did not believe what Lin Dong was saying and assumed he was just talking nonsense.
Make six hundred thousand in one day?
For a youngster from the Hometown, how could that possibly be!
"Dongzi, Sister Bai Jue knows you're looking out for me, wants to make money to redeem me from Lin Jian, but you shouldn't lie," Bai Jue chided.
"Sister Bai Jue, I really made that much money. If you don't believe me, I'll show you," Lin Dong explained.
But Bai Jue did not let him get up and instead used his momentum to pin him against the door.
Of course, she still did not believe Lin Dong could come up with six hundred thousand!
Just as her hand was about to undo Lin Dong's belt, suddenly, from outside, the sound of footsteps approached.
Lin Dong, with his sharp hearing, had heard the footsteps while they were still a distance away.
"Stop, Sister Bai Jue, Brother Jian is coming back!" Lin Dong quickly pushed her away.
Bai Jue's face also turned ashen as she now heard the footsteps outside.
She quickly straightened her clothes and urgently instructed Lin Dong, "Dongzi, pretend to go out for a late-night snack, quickly!"
She gave Lin Dong a push.
Lin Dong had no choice but to nod.
As he neared the door and the person outside was about to enter, Lin Dong suddenly flung the door open.
Lin Dong saw standing right at the door was indeed his cousin Lin Jian.
His face was darker than before, his pupils yellowed; Lin Dong knew that his liver disease had worsened.
"Brother Jian, didn't you go get medicine?" Lin Dong asked kindly.
Lin Jian spat out and said, "I've told you I'm not sick, what medicine do I need!?"
"And I was wondering why I would lose money today; now it seems it's all your fault. A jinx, uttering such bad luck, affecting my luck!"
Lin Dong was speechless, "So you treated my words from yesterday like passing wind? That one thousand... you didn't use it to get medicine but went betting again?"
Lin Jian angrily said, "What, you want to boss me around now?"
Lin Dong was profoundly disappointed in him.
This person was truly beyond help!
"One last piece of advice, go get treatment right away. Otherwise, you're going to be incurable," Lin Dong said and then said no more.
Instead, he left to buy a late-night snack!
Lin Jian did not take Lin Dong's words to heart.
He even cursed at Lin Dong's departing figure, "You're the one that's incurable!"
After cursing Lin Dong, he turned his gaze to Bai Jue.
"Yo, why are you dressed so provocatively?" Lin Jian smirked, "Did you fall for my little cousin Lin Dong?"
Bai Jue's face turned red, she spat and said with some guilt, "You're talking nonsense."
"Huh, even if you did, it's no big deal. But, he has to pay up," Lin Jian said carelessly: "If he can bring me five hundred thousand, then he can have you."
"Even if you did it right in front of me, I wouldn't care..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jue quivered all over. By now, she had completely given up hope on Lin Jian.
She even hoped keenly that Lin Dong could produce the five hundred thousand, to redeem her from Lin Jian.
As long as she could be redeemed from Lin Jian, she was willing to serve Dongzi like an ox or horse...
But, sigh, that was five hundred thousand!
Where could Dongzi come up with that.
"Bang bang bang~"
A short while later, the sound of banging on the door erupted from outside.
Several rough voices called out.
"Lin Jian, you damn well better pay up!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Jian's fear shot through the roof, his body quivering.
Those were the debt collectors!
"You… you cover for me, I'll go hide," he said.
Facing Bai Jue, he was domineering and unreasonable. Yet, in front of these debt collectors, he trembled like a dog tucking its tail.
Now, he ignored the safety of his wife and hid himself in the bathroom.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The pounding on the door grew fiercer from outside, "Hurry up and open the door, or I'll just smash it in!"
Although Bai Jue was nervous and scared inside, she had no choice but to muster the courage to open the door.
With a creaking sound, she opened it.
Immediately, seven or eight big men barged in, each towering over 1.8 meters.
The leader, almost two meters tall and exceptionally burly, had arms as thick as buckets.
Tattooed with a hideous python, his face covered in flesh, his mere presence inspired fear.
After entering, the leader snorted coldly, "Where's Lin Jian?"
Bai Jue was trembling and did not dare to reply.
"Brother Snake, the restroom door is closed, he must be hiding inside!" a little brother piped up.
With that, the group headed for the restroom.
They quickly dragged Lin Jian out of the toilet.
"Lin Jian, hiding, are you? Keep hiding!" The two-meter tall, imposing Brother Snake punched him in the stomach and sneered, "Damn it, pay up!"
"If you don't pay today, we're going to cripple you!"
"No, no, no..." Lin Jian, after being punched, was in tears, pointing at Bai Jue and gasping, "My wife, I'll mortgage my wife to you guys!"
Upon his words, the seven or eight sturdy men turned their gazes to Bai Jue, dressed in a nurse uniform, and a burning desire arose in their eyes...
