Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Making a Rod for One’s Own Back_1

The naked contempt in her words immediately darkened Old Uncle Hu’s face, like the night before a storm.

"Damn girl, you’re walking a path to your own demise. Don’t blame this old man for being ruthless when you’re on the Road to the Underworld!"

The severity in his voice took Lui Muyi by surprise.

"Uncle Hu, what exactly is going on? Is there some inside story?"

Lui Muyi was no fool!

Previously, Uncle Hu had been very cautious, and he had not noticed anything amiss. But now, upon seeing the other party panic, his keen instincts immediately picked up on something.

Uncle Hu hesitated for a moment, then put on a bitter face, starting to complain: "Young Master, you don’t know! Recently, the number of people coming to me for medical consultation has drastically decreased, all due to this damn girl’s mischief! She has a knack for framing others! The street rumors you heard, are all spread intentionally by this damn girl to frame me! Young Master, please, you must help me!"

By the end of his rant, Uncle Hu was crying rivers of tears.

The only problem was, no one knew how genuine these tears were!

"I think you’re just like Zhu Bajie going through the Fiery Flames Mountain - blaming others for your own faults!"

Su Pan’er took a deep sip of her drink: "The truth is right there, no matter how eloquently you depict it, you can’t change the facts!"

Uncle Hu was almost jumping up in fury!

"Truth? The truth of the matter is that your Qin family owes money. Even if you take the matter to the County Magistrate, you can’t avoid paying this debt!"

Su Pan’er burst out laughing: "You want me to pay back the money? Why don’t you ask the Overlord Tiger behind you, see what he has to say!"

The Overlord Tiger and his men’s faces changed as they heard Su Pan’er’s words!

It seemed they could no longer avoid the situation.

"Why are you hiding there? Are you planning to harass someone else’s daughter? Get your asses over here, now!"

Young Master Lv’s face turned grim.

"You, Young Master, there’s no such thing..."

Overlord Tiger dodged Su Pan’er’s gaze and quickly sidled over to Young Master Lv, whispering to him.

Upon hearing a few words, Young Master Lv’s face changed dramatically!

He gazed at Su Pan’er with wide-open eyes filled with astonishment.

After a while, Young Master Lv raised his hand, stood up, and walked slowly toward Su Pan’er. He scrutinized her for a moment before finally speaking.

"Debt must be repaid, that’s only right! The truth of the matter you spoke of probably has nothing to do with me. I just want to ask, will you repay this debt or not?"

Su Pan’er’s gaze slid away from Uncle Hu, her face wearing a casual smile.

"Of course debts must be repaid, but if someone intentionally sets a trap, cons and deceives, I won’t give them a damn penny!"

Su Pan’er’s words were pregnant with meaning.

"Oh? Is that so."

Young Master Lv’s eyebrows raised: "The debt is written in black and white on the promissory note. If you believe you’ve been deceived, please tell me who did it? I’ve always endeavored to be virtuous! However, if you can’t explain it clearly, don’t blame me for being ruthless! I’ll have to follow the rules of the underworld."

"The rules of the underworld?"

Su Pan’er let out an unexpected smile, glanced at Uncle Hu who was enjoying the drama, and curiously asked: "What are these rules of the underworld?"

Young Master Lv stepped back two steps, reseated himself, and started to fan himself with his folding fan.

He directed his command to Overlord Tiger: "You tell her what the rules of the underworld are!"

Me? Get up and speak?

Overlord Tiger’s eyes bulged in complete surprise! His eyeballs nearly popped out of his sockets. He couldn’t help but tremble involuntarily. Obliged to obey but not wanting to, he reluctantly dragged his legs to stand up.

Confronting Su Pan’er’s ambiguously smiling face, his legs gave way, and he nearly collapsed on the spot.

Fortunately, he was propped up by Naughty Dog, a carefree guy standing behind him.

He swallowed, stammering, "According to the rules of the underworld, anyone who owes a debt and doesn’t pay it back has their legs broken and their hands and feet’s tendons severed, along with the guarantor suffering the same fate."

"Does that mean the guarantor can also repay the debt?"

Su Pan’er scooped out her ears and deliberately repeated it. As expected, she saw Old Uncle Hu’s old face suddenly darken.

Despite this, her mood was unusually good, and her voice was full of cheerfulness, "First, let’s not talk about the dubious origin of this IOU. But for that IOU, the guarantor is the old dog beside you!"

Old Uncle Hu was furious!

"Su Pan’er! You little bitch think I will pay your debt, I spit! You wish!"

Initially, to fool Qin Yu into signing this usury, he took advantage of Qin Yu’s honesty and became the guarantor.

Unexpectedly, today he was being used by Su Pan’er, even forcing himself to fall into a trap of her making! How could he swallow this?

"Old dog, do you understand the meaning of ’make a rod for one’s own back’? Now you are the cocooned silkworm."

Su Pan’er looked nonchalant, hands spread wide!

Laughing loudly: "My family is clean and incorruptible, we don’t even have leftover meals. All we have is ten mu of wasteland and the land deed of the old house, all together not even worth one ounce of silver. Since you are the guarantor, whether you pay it back or not, this debt should be settled between you and Young Master Lui behind you. It has nothing to do with me, Su Pan’er!"

"You..."

Uncle Hu was so angry that his veins bulged and he pointed shakily at Su Pan’er.

"You damn girl, you are even more domineering than the debt collectors, isn’t there any justice in this world?"

"I have said it before, the origin of this debt is dubious."

Su Pan’er stood her ground, beckoning to Overlord Tiger and the others, "Of course, you can also try to break my legs, or sever the tendons in my hands and feet, I am waiting!"

If someone really went up to her, it’s still uncertain who would get their legs broken!

The shadow of Su Pan’er over Overlord Tiger was even thicker than Deicide Mountain!

He had no power to fight back in front of her, hearing about having a fight with her, his whole body began to shudder.

His eyes sweeping over Old Uncle Hu, thinking that he was here today, and the whole high-interest loan idea from beginning to end, was incited by this old guy. He gritted his teeth, his face spiteful.

You make the first move, I make the retaliation - an eye for an eye!

Turning his eyeballs!

He approached Young Master Lv, "Young boss, in my opinion, this matter..."

Followed by some whispering.

Young Master Lv listened and nodded repeatedly, casually closing the folding fan in his hand and heavily banging it on the table!

Smack!

A loud noise, and the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

"Although the one who owes the silver is the Qin Family, the guarantor is Miracle Healer Hu, according to the rules of the underworld, when the debtor is unable to repay, the guarantor takes responsibility. In the opinion of this young master, let’s divide the silver equally, with each party repaying 45 ounces. Did you all understand?"

Old Uncle Hu suddenly became anxious!

He quickly stood up, "Why do I have to repay as well? Young Master Lv, are you mistaken? This silver has nothing to do with me..."

"Because you are the guarantor of this silver, naturally it has something to do with you!"

Young Master Lv was unusually impatient, tapping the folding fan on the table, "That’s it! If anyone has any objections, they can come straight to me."

He gave Uncle Hu a suggestive glance.

Old Uncle Hu opened his mouth wide, it took him a while before his lips twitched and he rasped out,

"Yes, young master..."
