Chapter 192: Chapter 191 Such a Father (Fourth Update)

"Fifty thousand? Not much..." Without any hesitation, Lin Hao reached into his jacket, making a motion to take out money.

In secret, his hand flipped, and a stack of money appeared in his hands.

"Take the money, and go." He nonchalantly tossed out the stack of cash.

After counting the money, the two men exchanged a look of surprise, then got into their car and left immediately.

"Are you okay?" Lin Hao asked the woman with a pale face.

"I’m... I’m fine." The woman stared blankly at Lin Hao for a long time before she was sure that they didn’t know each other.

A complete stranger, not only did he save her, but he also gave her fifty thousand yuan to send others away.

Her mind was still a mess, filled with disbelief.

At the same time, she was filled with gratitude towards Lin Hao.

"Handsome guy, thank you. I will pay you back the money slowly," the woman said timidly, "My name is Zhu Wei."

"Lin Hao." Lin Hao took her business card and said his own name.

Fifty thousand yuan, he didn’t care all that much about it. Saving her and pulling out the fifty thousand, it was all just because it was convenient.

Had he not seen, he would have left it, but seeing the situation, of course, he had to do something about it.

One could say that Zhu Wei was lucky, or perhaps, they were destined to meet.

"No need to pay me back. Let me take you home." Zhu Wei’s hand was still clutching Lin Hao, her legs trembling, and Lin Hao figured she wouldn’t be able to make it back on her own.

To be a good Samaritan through and through, he simply decided to take her home.

"Thank you." Zhu Wei didn’t put on any airs, partly because she was genuinely scared, and partly because she wanted to invite Lin Hao over to her home to express her gratitude properly.

The urban villages in Binhai are places for ordinary wage earners to live. The rent here is much cheaper than in other areas, with the cheapest single room being about a thousand a month, and there’s even the option to farm on the landlord’s land.

Ordinary people would find it hard to notice that such a place exists in a bustling corner.

Zhu Wei lived in a small bungalow built of red bricks, practically with no decorations. As she approached, the light inside the house turned on.

Then, the front door opened from inside, and a middle-aged woman came out: "Weiwei, you’re back. Why are you working so late again?"

After saying that, she looked at Lin Hao: "And this is..."

"Son of the Lin family, this is my mom," Zhu Wei introduced Lin Hao, then told her mom, "Mom, this is a kind person I encountered on the road, he saved me."

With that, she recounted to the middle-aged woman what happened on the road.

"What?" the woman exclaimed in shock. "That bastard, always causing trouble outside, it’s so shameful!"

"Son of the Lin family, thank you. We will try our best to repay your money."

"It’s alright, I’m not in a hurry." Lin Hao did not say that the money didn’t need to be repaid. He knew it would be useless to say so, and smilingly said, "Since everything is fine now, then I’ll take my leave."

"Son of the Lin family, since you’re already here, please come in and sit for a while. If it weren’t for you, my Weiwei might have..." Saying this, the middle-aged woman almost burst into tears. Zhu Wei was her only daughter; if something had happened to her, she wouldn’t have been able to go on.

"Alright."

Just as Lin Hao agreed and was ready to go in for a visit, suddenly, a glaring light shone from afar towards them.

The entire bungalow was illuminated so brightly that Zhu Wei and her mother were forced to squint.

Immediately after, three vans stopped in front of them.

More than twenty strong men in black clothes stepped out of the three vans.

Among them were the two men who had previously grabbed Zhu Wei and taken the money.

In their midst was a man with a face full of fleshy creases and a chest as broad as a mountain, striding down from the van.

Upon seeing Lin Hao, the two people beside him said, "It’s him, he’s the one who gave the money."

"What’s going on, why is it so bright?" An impatient voice sounded from inside the bungalow. Immediately after, a middle-aged man in underwear walked out, grumbling nonstop, "Didn’t I tell you two to keep it down, don’t disturb my sleep..."

Before he could finish speaking, he caught sight of the man with a rough face and instantly his expression shifted to one of fear and trepidation, and he obsequiously said, "Brother Leopard, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

"Why am I here, of course, to collect the money you owe," Brother Leopard disdainfully glanced at him. "Zhu Lishan, isn’t it about time you paid back what you owe?"

"Brother Leopard, there’s no need for someone like you to come out for such a trifle. Give me a few days’ grace, I’ll definitely bring it to you," Zhu Lishan said ingratiatingly.

"Dad!"

Zhu Wei’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction: "Your money has already been paid back."

"What?" Zhu Lishan was startled. "When was it paid back?"

"Hmph, we have your daughter to thank this time." Zhu’s mom looked at Zhu Lishan with disdain. "It’s her friend who temporarily helped us repay it."

"Friend?"

Only then did he notice Lin Hao, who had been standing silently to the side.

He sized up Lin Hao and seeing that Lin Hao was young, certainly no more than twenty years old, he asked with suspicion, "Zhu Wei, is this your boyfriend?"

"Dad, don’t talk nonsense," Zhu Wei frowned, "He’s just an ordinary friend I just met."

"Not bad at all, you found a rich guy." Could someone who can pull out fifty thousand to repay a debt be just an ordinary friend? And how could they have just met?

Fifty thousand, that’s no small amount.

He glanced over Lin Hao and cheerfully approached him, "You’re not bad, young man, does your family have a lot of money?"

Lin Hao’s look became unsightly, and he remained silent. How could Zhu Wei’s dad be like this?

"Zhu Lishan, stop dawdling, cough up the money," Brother Leopard toyed with a string of Beads in his hand, speaking authoritatively, "Since your daughter found a rich guy, have him repay your debt too."

"Brother Leopard, hasn’t his debt already been paid?" Zhu’s mom’s eyes were filled with fear, surrounded by more than twenty men armed with knives, and despite her fear as a woman, she always stood in front of Zhu Wei, offering her protection.

"Paid?"

Brother Leopard scoffed: "You’re unaware that he borrowed a million today at our casino."

"What?!" Zhu Lishan exclaimed in shock. "Don’t spout nonsense, it was clearly only two hundred thousand!"

Two hundred thousand!?

This number caused both Zhu Wei and her mom’s faces to fall, turning deathly pale.

Two hundred thousand, what’s the difference to a family like theirs compared to a million?

Whether it’s two hundred thousand or one million, it’s all unrepayable for them!

"Brother Leopard, I really have no money," Zhu Lishan pleaded, "You know how it is, look at our home, we can’t come up with two hundred thousand right away."

"How about this, how about this, I’ll give you my daughter," Zhu Lishan grabbed Brother Leopard’s sleeve, begging pitifully, almost on the verge of kneeling.

Lin Hao’s expression turned even uglier.

To gamble away and even offer his daughter, does such a person deserve to be a father?

"Get lost!" Brother Leopard kicked him away, sending him to the ground, domineeringly saying, "First, it’s not two hundred thousand, it’s turned into a million in one afternoon."

"Second, we want money, not a woman, your family’s worthless lives aren’t worth a million."

He glanced at Lin Hao, squatted down, and lightly patted Zhu Lishan’s face, "I give you five minutes to bring the money or you know the consequences. As for where the money comes from, I’ve already thought of a way for you."

"Your rich son-in-law here, he should have the money."
