Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1068 - 1067 Brother Hu

Chapter 1068 -1067 Brother Hu

“Is this the place?”

With a leap, Hao Jian used the terrain to run to the balcony on the fifth floor of a residential building. Under the cover of darkness, he gazed distantly at the crowd below.

“They should be arriving soon.”

Then, Hao Jian turned his attention to the entrance of this dark street corner, where a graceful figure suddenly appeared, walking briskly in high heels with a click-clack sound.

“Let’s observe for a bit first.”

Seeing Li Wen arrive, Hao Jian’s lips curled up slightly. With him here, these twenty-something people wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble. Of course, if Li Wen could resolve it smoothly, he wouldn’t mind saving some effort.

“But this guy, why do I feel a bit annoyed just looking at him…?”

His gaze fixed on Li Shi, Hao Jian touched his nose. This person gave him the impression of those gamblers he’d seen before, the kind who lost everything yet refused to admit defeat.

……………

“Li Shi, it’s been half an hour, and your sister still hasn’t come. Is she too scared to come?!” Brother Hu looked at Li Shi on the ground with displeasure. Since capturing Li Shi on his way home, forty minutes had passed, and it had been another half an hour since his phone call.

“No… no, Brother Hu, my sister… she will definitely come!”

Hearing Brother Hu’s unfriendly tone, panic immediately appeared on Li Shi’s face. His eyes darted around, finally catching sight of Li Wen racing towards them from the street corner.

“My sister’s here… my sister’s here!”

Seeing Li Wen’s arrival, Li Shi’s face showed a look of surprise and joy. Lying on the ground, he kept pointing ahead, his voice extremely excited, as if as long as Li Wen came, he’d be saved.

Above them, Hao Jian, seeing Li Shi’s disgraceful display, sneered with disdain.

“I’m here! Let go of my brother now!”

Standing in front of Brother Hu and his men, Li Wen, with her hands on her knees, gasped for air, her expression quite unsightly, mostly out of urgency. She had seen her brother, bruised and battered, lying on the ground anxiously calling for her.

This brother of hers, although good-for-nothing and only gambling, was still her brother, her only family left in this world.

A few years ago, due to a car accident, their parents passed away, leaving only her and her brother to rely on each other. It was then that Li Wen abandoned her major university studies, dropping out and working nights selling drinks at a bar and days in a factory.

With the income from two jobs, she barely managed to support the two of them, even saving a significant amount. Unfortunately, after their parents passed, her brother suddenly got addicted to gambling.

It spiraled out of control; every month, every six months, she had to use half of her salary to pay off his debts. Initially, it was just a few thousand, but later it became seven or eight thousand, ten or twenty thousand, suffocating her financially.

This time was even more ruthless; he owed fifty thousand. That fifty thousand had taken her half a year to scrimp and save, barely touched. Yet, today, for her useless brother, she was willing to part with it.

Because, after all, he is her only brother?!

“Haha, you’re here, but the money isn’t. Just your words won’t do.” Hearing the voice from behind, Brother Hu turned his head to look at Li Wen, a fiery desire flashing in his eyes. He sneered, “If you want to take your brother away, you have to leave the money behind. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to break his hand!”

“Fifty thousand! Here is fifty thousand!”

Hearing Brother Hu threaten to break her brother’s hand, Li Wen became anxious and hastily took out a package wrapped in yellow paper from her bag, throwing it directly to Brother Hu.

“This fifty thousand is what I paid for him. Can you release him now?!”

“Haha!”

Weighing the money in his hand, Brother Hu tore open the yellow wrapper and examined the fifty thousand. Suddenly, a hideous grin appeared on his face. He sneered, “Did you really think you could take him away with just fifty thousand?!”

Hearing this, anxiety and anger flashed across Li Wen’s face, and she shouted, “Didn’t my brother only owe you fifty thousand?! Why isn’t that enough? Are you planning to go back on your word?!”

“Haha, in our line of work, debts must be repaid. We don’t unjustly accuse anyone. This fifty thousand is just for yesterday. Today, your dear brother gambled again at my place!”

“And he even wrote me an IOU!”

As he spoke, Brother Hu took out an IOU with a bright red handprint on it, which clearly belonged to Li Shi. Holding the IOU, Brother Hu continued, “Today, your brother borrowed another hundred thousand from me to gamble, added to yesterday’s fifty thousand, totaling one hundred and fifty thousand.”

“As for the interest… since I’m in a good mood today, I’ll let you off the hook. Just pay me fifty thousand in interest, which is a discount. Usually, I take a hundred thousand, but today I’m doing you a favor.”

Brother Hu suddenly reached out to grab Li Wen, a sleazy smile on his face. But Li Wen quickly reacted, her face darkening as she slapped away Brother Hu’s hand and shouted in anger, “Keep your filthy hands to yourself or don’t blame me for not being polite!”

Upon hearing this, Brother Hu smirked, saying lewdly, “Haha, I’m actually looking forward to you being impolite to me! Why don’t we head to the bed now and see how impolite you can get?”

“Haha!”

As Brother Hu finished speaking, the guys around them laughed in agreement, making Li Wen’s face grow even darker. Yet with more than twenty people here, she couldn’t deal with even one of them.

“What can I say about you?! I’ve told you not to gamble, why do you still do it?! You really think my money falls from the sky?!”

Ignoring Brother Hu and his crew, Li Wen was already utterly disgusted by them. If it weren’t for some of her own tactics, she would have been dragged to bed by Brother Hu long ago.

Originally, the two of them were from different worlds, but because of her brother, she was forced into this dark, nauseating world.

“Sis, I was having a good time at first today, who knew I’d lose so much later?”

Seeing his sister questioning him, Li Shi quickly looked up at her, trying to explain, but his eyes were filled with resentment, “Just another hundred thousand, and I can definitely win it back! Who knew, who knew Brother Hu would only lend me a hundred thousand.”

“Sis, help me pay off this debt, then give me another hundred thousand, and I’ll go gamble one more time now! I will… I will definitely win, then we won’t have to worry about debts anymore!”

“You… you…”

Hearing such words from her brother, Li Wen was heartbroken, how… how could she have such a brother?! Can’t you see this is all a trap by Brother Hu?!

You still… still want to gamble?!

Over the years, she’s already paid off debts over a million for Li Shi. With so much money, she could have bought a nice house in the suburbs, but now, she’s left penniless because of her brother.

If only he could turn over a new leaf, but he’s always thinking he can win back all the money, so the stakes have been getting higher and higher these days, to the point she can’t even bear them.

Initially, two jobs were enough to support the two of them, but now even ten jobs might not be enough.

After all, his expenses are growing larger and larger!

This kid.

Above, Hao Jian, with his extraordinary hearing, clearly heard the conversation between these people, and what enraged him was still Li Shi. How can a man like him still be alive?! freēwēbnovel.com

“Ah, let’s observe the situation a bit more. Li Wen is suffering a lot too…”

Shaking his head in frustration, Hao Jian sighed, showing a helpless expression. Having such a brother, anyone would feel like this, right?

It’s also fortunate that Li Wen has a mild temperament. If she had been hot-tempered, who knows if Li Shi would even be alive now.

One can only imagine how hard Li Wen’s life has been over the years for the sake of this so-called brother: working during the day, dealing with harassment at the bar at night, and coming home to manage her brother’s debts.

This relentless pressure from morning to night has lasted for years, and anyone else would have broken down. Yet Li Wen endured it and even lived her life with some semblance of dignity. A woman like this is a true strong person, a champion of life.

“Brother Hu, the money… I can’t get it together right now. Can you give me a few more days to scrape it together? I’ll definitely pay you back!”

She really couldn’t gather that kind of money right now! Fifty thousand was already her savings from half a year, let alone over a hundred thousand. How could she pull that together?

If she couldn’t, she would have to grit her teeth and borrow from those people, those so-called colleagues.

“A few days?”

Brother Hu sneered, spitting on the ground and snorting coldly, “Li Wen, it’s not that I don’t give you face, but your brother owes me more than just a little bit, with interest, it’s a total of one hundred fifty thousand!”

“And my brothers here need to eat today. You’d better get me the money; otherwise, all that’s left is for you to accompany me…”

Licking his lips, Brother Hu had these thoughts of Li Wen long ago, and now he finally had the opportunity, how could he let it go?

“If you spend a night with me, we’ll write off the debt, and I won’t hold your brother accountable. I might even give him money, and I’ll take care of you from now on. What do you think?”

“Great! Sis, hurry up and agree! It’s just one night!”

Before Li Wen could speak, Li Shi exclaimed in delight.
