Chapter 120: Chapter 120 I Advise You to Stop While You’re Ahead

"Jingting!"

Han Bowwen, seeing Han Jingting and the others arrive, was also overwhelmed with emotion.

The day’s experiences for Han Bowwen had been like a rollercoaster ride.

When he first entered the gambling den, Han Bowwen, with the twenty thousand in capital given by Yellow Hair, killed it at every corner, earning over two million in one go, which made him ecstatic to the point of losing all sense of himself.

However, the good times did not last long, and not long after, the more than two million in Han Bowwen’s hands had all been gambled away.

Watching the money he had in hand disappear without a trace, Han Bowwen was extremely reluctant.

It just so happened that someone in the casino offered to lend him money, and Han Bowwen, taking his chances, took five hundred thousand.

From there, things spiraled out of control. Han Bowwen’s losses and gains fluctuated until, by the time he regained his senses, he had already racked up a debt of over twenty million!

Han Bowwen regretted it immensely, but it was already too late.

The casino staff told him to call home for money, but Han Bowwen didn’t dare, and as a result, one of his fingers was chopped off, causing him to cry out in agony.

Although Han Bowwen was somewhat timid and not favored by the Han Family, he had always lived a carefree life and had never encountered such misery. To him, this basement was practically hell, and he wanted to get out of here every second.

"You damned scoundrel, I told you to gamble! Just wait until I deal with you properly!"

Ding Lijuan cursed as she rushed towards Han Bowwen.

But before Ding Lijuan could reach him, a burly man shoved her back.

"Save the chatter for later, where’s the money!"

On the boss’s chair, a burly man with a tuft of small braids on his head spoke impatiently.

This burly man, known as Brother Yao, was the one in charge of this Vegas underground gambling den.

Han Jingting gave Chen Xuan a meaningful glance.

When they had gotten out of the car, Han Jingting had handed the suitcase to Chen Xuan, who, understanding her signal, immediately opened it.

Stack after stack of bright red banknotes was instantly revealed.

But even Chen Xuan could see that the amount was obviously not enough.

Brother Yao sneered and cursed, "Shit, do you think I’m blind, or that I’ve never seen money before? Is this damn amount even two million?"

Han Jingting’s expression was serious. "Indeed, it’s not twenty million here, only two million, but this is truly all the money we can come up with right now."

As she spoke these words, Han Jingting’s hands trembled slightly, showing that she was only trying to appear calm.

After all, she was just a woman and it was her first time dealing with these fiercely ruthless kidnappers; not being scared was impossible.

Ding Lijuan also tried to display a strong stance, chiming in, "That’s right, this is all the money we have. Take it or leave it!"

However, no sooner had she said these words than Brother Yao, without saying another word, slapped her directly across the face, knocking Ding Lijuan to the ground on her butt.

"Mom!" Han Jingting exclaimed.

Brother Yao pointed at Ding Lijuan with a ferocious expression, "Fuck, how dare you act so brazenly in front of me? Do you think I’m a saint or something?"

Bang!

A sharp machete was thrust directly into the table in front of them, its blade still stained with blood.

Ding Lijuan was so frightened that she turned pale and didn’t even dare to cry out.

It was only at that moment that she truly realized the cruel and ruthless nature of the people she was dealing with!

Han Jingting was also completely terrified by Brother Yao’s fierce and menacing appearance and dared not speak for a moment.

At this point, Chen Xuan spoke calmly, "There are laws above ground and rules below; you knew he didn’t have any valuable assets in his name, yet you still lent him so much money. Your actions don’t seem quite right, do they?"

"I advise you to cut your losses. Otherwise, you might end up not getting a single penny!"

As soon as Chen Xuan’s words were spoken, Han Jingting’s heartbeat accelerated, and Ding Lijuan broke into a cold sweat.

Both had seen how ferocious Brother Yao could be, yet Chen Xuan dared to stand up to him with such force. It was tantamount to seeking death!

Brother Yao cursed, his face immediately turning sinister, "Damn it, fine, it seems you need to taste some pain before you realize how tough I can be!"

"Come on, let’s see some blood!"

At Brother Yao’s command, one of his men immediately approached, lifted the knife in his hand, and aimed to slash Han Bowwen’s ear.

"Ah! No, please, I know I was wrong, Jingting, save me!" Han Bowwen cried out in horror.

Ding Lijuan was so anxious that she slapped Chen Xuan’s face, "You good-for-nothing, what nonsense are you talking? Are you deliberately trying to get your dad killed? How can you be so heartless!"

Chen Xuan was about to use his Peach Blossom Needle to take out the thug, but Ding Lijuan’s slap forced him to abort the move.

At that moment, Han Jingting hurriedly shouted, "Don’t touch my dad! I’ll pay!"

Brother Yao raised his hand, and the thug stopped his action.

Han Jingting heaved a sigh of relief before continuing, "But 20 million is really too much. Even if we sold our house, we couldn’t gather that amount. Could you ask for a little less? That would be more realistic."

Han Jingting had hoped that her reasonable explanation would earn them some leeway, but to her dismay Brother Yao sneered, "You think we’re fools, huh? We’ve already done our homework; you are the CEO of Han Corporation in Huai City. You oversee a multi-billion dollar company, and yet you claim you can’t come up with 20 million—who would believe that?"

"I’ve only been in office for a month," Jingting explained, "although the company is wealthy, it’s not mine..."

"As the CEO, isn’t it just a matter of a word to turn the company’s money into your own?" Brother Yao said pointedly.

Han Jingting was stunned. "Are you suggesting I embezzle company funds? That’s impossible!"

"Impossible? Then prepare to collect your father’s corpse!"

Brother Yao signaled with his eyes, and the thug who had raised the knife earlier moved to slash at Han Bowwen’s ear once more.

"Ah! Oh God, no! Wu wu wu..." Han Bowwen became utterly panicky.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to intervene, Ding Lijuan suddenly spoke up, "We’ll pay the money!"

"The full 20 million, we’ll pay it!"

Ding Lijuan decisively declared.

Han Jingting looked incredulously at Ding Lijuan, "Mom, where would we get that much money?"

"Didn’t they say it already? Take it from the company!"

"But..."

"But what, do you really want to watch your father die? How can you be so cruel!"

Han Jingting stood frozen.

As a daughter, how could she bear to see her father in danger? Rebuked in such a way by Ding Lijuan, Jingting found herself utterly speechless.

Brother Yao wore a triumphant expression, "That’s more like it, owing the company money is always better than owing us. Hahaha..."

At that moment, however, Ding Lijuan spoke again, "We will give you the money, but we have one condition!"
