The sound of timid begging was heard. Chaerin dared not be cocky, and she looked terrified at the man before her.
She knew the methods of these people since she had seen for herself the way a debtor who could not pay back was beaten until they were severely handicapped. She still had lingering fears at the thought of such bloody thirsty methods. In fact, most of these people were criminals. When they worked in the underground gambling dens, they were all vicious and merciless.
As a result, Chaerin was quite afraid at the moment too. She definitely dared not provoke them lightly.
However, just as Chaerin said that, the man laughed coldly. "Give you a few more days? The boss has given you enough. If it were not certain people, you wouldn't have been able to stand after the brothers' second visit to you! It's best if you behave. Quickly pay up. Otherwise, don't blame us for being vicious!"
"Boss... but I've been a little tied up with things recently. Can you ask your boss to just give me a few more days? Three days! Just three more days!" Chaerin gasped and suppressed the fear in her heart as she extended her fingers and pleaded softly.
"Hmph! You only have two choices today: either you return the money or leave your pair of legs behind. Choose yourself. You have five seconds to decide!"
They were still gangsters who definitely would not be ambiguous with these things. Chaerin could not help but shudder at the man's cold words. The fear in her heart spiked sharply. She quickly went up and begged, "Please, boss! I beg of you to tell your boss. Three days! In three days, 'ill definitely bring the money to you and settle this debt! Please just extend it by a few more days for me, please! Please!"
"Enough, I already told you. You only have two options today. You either leave your legs behind or pay us back! After three days, you'll ask for three more days. Do you think we're fools? One!"
That man glared at Chaerin as he started to count threateningly.
"Two!
"Three!"
Chaerin's whole body tensed as it shuddered. Fear made her tremble all over as she rushed up and held that man's wrist. "Please! Please, just a few days more! I'll definitely get all the money ready! Please!"
"Get lost! Four!' That man pushed Chaerin away with a hand and continued counting.
"No! No, please! Just a few days more! Please!"
Chaerin turned pale from fright as she went up to him half-rolling and half-crawling. She held onto the man's pants and cried, "Please! Next time, I'll definitely pay you back! Please!"
"Five!"
The man was indifferent to Chaerin's tears and terror. He mercilessly finished counting till five. When Chaerin still would not yield, he nodded to his two subordinates on the side and said, "Cripple her legs!"
"No! No! No, please! I'll call my daughter and son-in-law right away! She has money! She has money! She'll definitely get someone to send money over right away!"
Chaerin was scared witless. She quickly sat up and took out her phone. First, she found Kai's number and quickly called it, yet the dial tone indicated that his phone was switched off as always!
She breathed in sharply, and then quickly found Krystal's number which she called swiftly.
After a while, the call was answered.
Right now, Krystal had given birth and moved back to the Han residence. Yes, she had moved back to Han residence!
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had moved into the Han residence following Huang Ziyao's arrangements.
At that moment, she was sleeping in a daze. Earlier, she was already annoyed by the child's ruckus. She had finally coaxed the baby to sleep and was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.
She glanced at the phone screen, but eventually picked up the call. Now, when she received Chaerin's call, she was in an extremely bad temper and she growled in an attacking tone, "Why are you calling me so late at night?"
The other day at the hospital, she had slapped her twice in front of Kai, and even said those things. Kai had probably heard most of it.
She could not do anything good and had made things worse instead!
When Chaerin heard Krystal's voice, her panicked heart finally eased slightly. She did not notice Krystal's unhappy and annoyed tone as she choked on her sobs. "Krystal, I was wrong. Quickly come and save me. I owe a gambling den $10 million. They came looking for me today. If I don't give them money, they will cripple my legs! Krystal, I'm really scared. Can you help me pay the $10 million?" Chaerin could barely finish her sentences clearly.
On the other end when Krystal heard this, a sneer of disdain flashed across her face. "You've already used this same way to take millions from me. Do you think I'm a bank? $10 million! Where am I suppose to get that money? Don't you know how to change your methods? I don't have money!"
When Chaerin heard her rejection, she turned pale with fright as she quickly explained, "No! Krystal! Krystal! Come save me quickly. I beg you! If you don't give them the money, they'll definitely cripple me, Krystal!"
"Then, let them cripple you first!" Krystal heartlessly said before she hung up and turned off her phone! She would not believe Chaerin's nonsense!
Plus, she had finally made her way back to the Han family. If there were any more negative news, the Han family would definitely judge her again, especially the Elder, so she could not let Chaerin pull her down again. If anything, it should only happen after her position as the young lady of the Han family was established firmly!
Chaerin looked stunned at her phone screen that dimmed. Her face was filled with horror and disbelief, yet before she could react, the man had already sneered in disdain.
"Looks like you won't be able to pay up, huh?"
As he said this, he signaled to the other two people, and both of them swiftly held her down. Chaerin struggled hard and screamed in panic, "No! No! You can't touch me! You can't touch me! I'm the mayor's wife. You can't touch me! Or I'll show you what you'll get!"
When that man heard that, a coldness flashed across his face as he ordered, "You're still so reluctant before death! What an unruly woman! Don't hesitate. Get to it!"
"Got it!"
What came after were shrieks as if a pig was being slaughtered. The sound of someone crying out in pain rented the air.
"Help! You thugs! I want to kill you! Ah! Ah! My legs!"
"You still have time to curse us, huh? Slap her mouth a few times too!" The vicious voice commanded, and then the sound of fists and kicks came!
The intense ear-piercing, blood-curdling screech ripped through the night!
