Chapter 444: Chapter 445: My Son-in-law is Awesome
Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan did not show themselves immediately. Their car had stopped outside the mine factory, and now the two were hiding in a dark corner watching everything unfold.
The guy named Erhei facing Lin Suâerâs father, Lin Gang, glared fiercely and barked, "Lin Gang, you son of a bitch, playing tough with me, huh? With that little ability of yours, maybe you couldâve muddled through twenty years ago, but itâs not your era anymore. If you have any sense, youâll quickly pay up willingly; otherwise, Iâll really skin you alive."
Lin Gang lifted the iron rod in his hand and cursed, "When I was mixing it up, your damn hair wasnât even fully grown yet, and now you dare talk to me about being in the underworld? Let me tell you, Iâve got many brothers I know, and with just one call from me, those brothers will come and chop you into pieces."
Erhei zi sneered, "Lin Gang, to compare underworld connections with me? You really have no idea how reckless that is. Your so-called connections are all outdated news. Whoâs doing well now? To measure your ties against mine, youâre truly courting death!"
"Fuck, Iâve eaten more salt than youâve eaten rice. Youâve only been on the streets for a few years, while Iâve been around for so many. Which brother from the streets doesnât show me some respect? You actually dare to trick me? Do you really think I, Lin Gang, have been twiddling my thumbs all these years on the streets?"
Erhei zi glowered and said, "Fine then, Lin Gang. Donât say I didnât give you a chance. Go ahead and call in your people. If you can find someone who can make me yield, Iâll return the money to you. But if you donât have the capability, then you better live quietly with your tail between your legs from now on."
Lin Gang boasting about his connections was pure bluster. After all these years, he was still just a petty thug. At his age, one would either have quit or become notable if he were really involved; who would bother with him otherwise?
The one Lin Gang had called for help was actually Song Xiaodong. Having seen Song Xiaodongâs ruthless moves last time, even Cao Zhiji, who came with several bodyguards, was no match for him. Clearly, he was no goodie-two-shoes and, being relatively young, probably had significant connections. Thus, he believed that with Song Xiaodongâs arrival, his problems would be settled.
"Do you think I, Lin Gang, have no one to call on? Let me tell you, youâre mistaken. Indeed, I, Lin Gang, donât have much ability, but let me tell you, I have a daughter with talents. She hooked me up with an excellent son-in-law. My son-in-law is quite capable, you know. Do you know where this money came from? Itâs given by my son-in-law."
"Pah! You think I donât know? You got this money by selling off your daughter; as if they would care about you."
"Bullshit, no matter what, heâs married to my daughter. That makes him my son-in-law, and I am his father-in-law. How could he possibly not care about me? Erhei zi, Iâm telling you, my son-in-law drives a Mercedes, his influence is significant. You know Cao Zhiji, right? Last time, even with several bodyguards, they all got chased off by my son-in-law. Youâre here with just a couple of guys; the moment my son-in-law arrives, heâll finish you on the spot."
Erhei zi snorted coldly, "Is that so? Then call him over. I want to see if heâs as capable as you claim."
Song Xiaodong suddenly felt a small hand pressing on his lower back, the thumb and forefinger pinching a fold of skin and twisting hard.
"Hey, Xuanxuan, ease up a bit, that hurts," Song Xiaodong quickly turned his head and whispered into Miao Xuanxuanâs ear.
"Alright then, so youâve become someoneâs son-in-law, my dear brother-in-law," Miao Xuanxuan ground her teeth.
Song Xiaodong grinned and said, "I was just helping Suâer. You saw for yourself how rotten her dad is. Besides, if I really feared being found out, why would I bring you along?" Saying this, Song Xiaodong gently kissed the lobe of Miao Xuanxuanâs ear.
Miao Xuanxuan felt her body soften instantly, released her hand, and gave Song Xiaodong a push, saying, "Humph, itâs easy for you to talk a good game, but donât think you can take advantage of me so easily. Iâll check this out thoroughly. Donât tell me youâre messing around with that nurse Lin Suâer again. You men always have a special fascination with nurses, female cops, and the like."
"Look at you, Xuanxuan, now youâre just a little vinegar jar," he said.
"Really?" Miao Xuanxuan felt somewhat uneasy inside. She used to date Song Xiaodong openly without much sense of crisis or jealousy. But now, for some reason, she was prone to being jealous. Maybe it was because she couldnât have Song Xiaodong. Anyone who might have a chance with him made her feel envious and jealous.
At that moment, a group of six or seven people rushed out, gathering around Erhei zi. Erhei zi shouted, "Lin Gang, I have no time for nonsense. If you donât pay back the money, youâll leave your life here today."
"I... my son-in-law is coming right away. Youâd better not mess around," Lin Gang suddenly felt weak inside. He was confident earlier because he had the numbers on his side, but now that the others were more numerous, he was no longer confident.
Another guy who arrived later said with a grave voice, "Heizi, why waste words with him? Break his leg first, then let his son-in-law bring the money."
Erhei nodded and said, "Thatâs a good idea. Brothers, letâs do it."
"Hey, hey!" Lin Gang cried out hastily, but the others completely ignored him. Over ten people surged forward and began to beat him up.
The few people Lin Gang had brought with him werenât particularly strong. They were just acquaintances who had come to support him. Seeing the situation turn sour, they immediately took off running. The fight hadnât even started, and in the blink of an eye, they had cleared out, wishing they could grow extra legs to run faster.
Lin Gang wanted to run too, but Erhei and his group, having let the others go, were certainly not about to let him escape. They quickly surrounded him.
Erhei kicked Lin Gang to the ground and shouted, "Lin Gang, any last words? Hurry up and pay up."
Lin Gang rolled on the ground, clutching his head, and said, "Heizi, weâve known each other for many years, donât do this."
"Donât do this my ass. Werenât you the one asking for money? Didnât you say your son-in-law is all that? Come on, fight back then."
Lin Gang didnât have a trace of fighting spirit left, continuously apologizing profusely, practically groveling like a dog.
Erhei snorted coldly and said, "Fine, you wonât pay, huh? Alright then, brothers, start by breaking his legs for me."
Lin Gang inwardly lamented, knowing today was going to end badly, but now there was no one to help him, and it seemed he was already facing the threat of broken legs.
"Stop!" Just then, a voice rang out, and Lin Gang saw Song Xiaodong appear with a girl by his side. But the girl was not his daughter, Lin Suâer. Although he was originally excited, he was now somewhat bewildered.
