"Hey, you live here?" The bald man asked.
I nodded.
"Do you know him?" The bald man took out a photo and showed it to me.
I took a closer look and saw a young man in the photo. Isn't he the little bastard Simon!
All of a sudden, I understand that these three men are here to ask for debt.
Simon was addicted to gambling. He had owed a lot. Before my wife and I get married, I had seen Simon being chased by debts.
After getting married with my wife, I helped Simon pay off his gambling debts several times, which cost me about eight hundred thousand. In other words, if it weren't for me, Simon would have lost his hands and feet.
But after I went bankrupt, Simon turned his back on me faster than turning a book. He looked down upon me when he saw that I had no money. From the last time he wanted to hit me with a stick, I could see that if someone gave him a sum of money, he might be willing to stab me to death.
So I'm very happy to see him being pressed for money.
"How much does he owe you?" I asked with a smile.
"What? Do you want to pay it back for him?" The bald man stared at me and said.
I waved my hand to get rid of them. "I have nothing to do with him. He owes you money. You can go to him. This is my home. I live alone. Did you find the wrong place?"
"Are you trying to fool us? I saw Simon walk into this room!" The man with the a big scar shouted at me.
I ignored them and turned to open the door.
Since they are not here to kidnap me and the target of the debt is not me, I have no reason to be afraid of them.
Besides, even if I really fight, my fighting tech is not in vain.
"Hey, wait!"
The moment I closed the door, the man blocked the crack with an iron rod.
"You either hand over Simon today, or pay him back one hundred thousand, or we'll go inside and search!" The bald man shouted at me.
I was not reconciled to be kicked by the thin kidnappers before. Now they threatened me again, and my temper instantly came up.
I opened the door and walked up to him. "Go inside and search? If you have the guts, you can have a try."
Ten minutes later, I threw the man who has a big scar to the three men who were running downstairs. I finally let out all my anger when I was kidnapped.
I went back to my room and closed the door. Looking at the two barrels of instant noodles on the table, I instantly realized that Simon was really hiding here, and the wife had come back from her parents' house.
My wife has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child. After we got married, she didn't do chores, so she didn't know how to cook. I usually cooked for her. Today, I came back so late, so she could only eat instant noodles.
A moment later, when I was wiping medicinal liquor for myself with bare arms, Simon poked her head out of the bathroom carefully. Seeing that there was only me in the room, she swaggered out of the living room.
"Did you drive them away?" Simon glanced at me.
I ignored him. After applying the medicine, I went to the bedroom.
"Leon Lin, what's wrong with you? I'm asking you." Simon shouted behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.
I gave him a suplex, and he immediately fell to the ground. At this time, my wife opened the door of the bedroom and saw this scene.
She stared at me with resentment and gritted her teeth, "why did you hit Simon as soon as you came back? Even if we couldn't reach an agreement to buy a house for Simon last time, you wouldn't be so vindictive to hit her, would you? Do you look down upon my family so much?"
I sneered in my heart, thinking that it��s your family who looked down upon me. It is really the obscene style of having an affair with another man. If I tell you the truth, you will unite with the adulterer to kill me?
But I didn't retort. It's not the time to tell her the truth. The most important thing now is to keep my house.
"I'm trying to wake him up. If it weren't for me, the three men would have broken into the house. Where would Simon find one hundred thousand to pay off his debt? He would have to break one of his hands to pay the debt."
"Besides, you are also here. What if they harass you? The three men are all perverts. Do you want to be implicated by your brother all the time? If I don't beat him, how can he remember? If he doesn't remember, how can he quit gambling?"
I tried my best to be reasonable and said to my wife.
After saying that, his wife lost her temper and looked at him with a complicated expression. Simon knew that he was in the wrong, so he got up dejectedly and ran to the bathroom.
When she went back to the bedroom, her wife sat beside me. At this moment, she noticed the bruises on my body. "Honey, does your wound hurt? How about I massage it for you?"
Looking at his wife's concerned face, I can't tell whether she is true or not.
"No, thanks. I just applied some medicinal liquor." I said lightly.
My wife suddenly held my arm and whispered, "honey, are you hurt like this because you fought with those people to protect me?"
I took a look at her and thought it was funny. Julia, don't flatter yourself. I was hurt like this for woman, but not for a b***h like you.
But I still pretended to smile and said, "of course, I can do anything for you."
"Honey, I know you are the best to me." Julia kissed me on the cheek.
That night, I didn't sleep all night. I kept thinking about a question: since I was so good to my wife, why did she still have an affair? Was money really so important that it could ignore all feelings?
I didn't realize it until I experienced something.
On the second morning, after I made breakfast for my wife and Simon, I drove to the company.
Last night, my wife tried to persuade me to take out the money from the bank card of five hundred thousand to pay off the debt for Simon, but she still took the initiative to serve me. I refused her without hesitation, so in order to calm her down, I compromised and agreed to let Simon stay here to avoid the debt.
When I arrived at the company, I still didn't see Selena at the front desk. As soon as I asked, I knew that she had asked for another half a month's sick leave. It seemed that the matter really had a great impact on her.
It made me feel very guilty, because if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been used by Pete Bradly to lure me into the bait and threaten me.
Not long after he returned to his office, Pete Bradly pushed the door open and came in. He didn't even knock at the door. He almost found that I was watching Tyler Owen on my phone.
Pete Bradly was still wearing the suit he had worn in the night club two days ago. He looked a little excited, his eyes bloodshot, and his fingers were filthy. People who didn't know him might think that he had stayed up late last night to be a thief.
"Good morning, Manager Lin." He gave me an annoying smile.
"Cut the crap. Since you've fallen into your trap, you'd better make a condition now." I said coldly.
"Ha ha, Manager Lin is indeed a straightforward person," Pete Bradly said with a smug smile. "In fact, my conditions are very simple."
