194: Chapter 194 Playing with the Brothers

Lou Dong's entire body was trembling, his lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

He never expected the loan sharks to come so quickly, and even find him directly at home.

Fear submerged him like a tide, leaving him without even the courage to resist.

"Who? We're here to collect the money!"

Scar Strong sneered, his gaze falling on Lou Dong with a heavy sense of threat.

"I told you long ago, you must pay off the five hundred and eighty thousand debt today, or I'll cripple your hands. Now time's up, where's the money?"

"The money... I haven't gathered it yet..." Lou Dong's voice was as small as a mosquito's hum, not even daring to lift his head.

"Brother Qiang, please give me a little more time, just a few more days, I'll definitely be able to get the money!"

"A few more days?" Scar Strong laughed loudly as if he had heard some huge joke, his laughter coarse and ear-piercing.

"Lou Dong, do you think I'm a philanthropist? I already gave you a chance yesterday, and you fucking dare to haggle with me?"

He took a step forward, suddenly grabbed Lou Dong's collar, and yanked him fiercely in front of himself, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to devour him.

"I'm telling you, today you either pay back the money, or I'll cripple your hands and make you a useless person for the rest of your life!"

Lou Dong was grabbed so hard he couldn't breathe, his face turning bright red, tears and snot flowing instantly.

He was scared out of his wits, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing incessantly to Scar Strong.

"Brother Qiang, please spare me! Please give me one more chance, I really can get the money! I swear, as long as you give me a few more days, I'll definitely pay you back!"

"Spare you?" Scar Strong let go of his hand, looking at Lou Dong who was like a stray dog, his eyes full of contempt. "Do you think you're still in a position to negotiate with me?"

He waved his hand, and a lackey behind him immediately stepped forward, pulling out a gleaming machete from his waist and throwing it on the floor in front of Lou Dong with a 'clank'.

The blade reflected a cold light under the sun, making Lou Dong tremble all over; his crotch instantly became wet, and a smell of urine spread through the air.

"Brother Qiang, I really don't have the money... Please, give me one more chance!"

Lou Dong was scared into incoherence, kowtowing repeatedly until blood marks appeared on his forehead.

Shang Yuya stood to the side, already frozen with fear.

She watched this terrifying scene, listening to the conversation between the two, and finally understood.

It turned out Lou Dong really did owe a huge amount in high-interest loans; everything Cao Kun said was actually true!

Huge shock and fear made her whole body tremble. Looking at Lou Dong begging for mercy like a dog on the ground, then at these ferocious men, the last bit of hope in her heart completely shattered.

She wanted to run, but her legs felt heavy as lead, unable to take a single step.

Smelling the urine in the air, Scar Strong frowned and took a step back in disgust.

He glanced at Lou Dong, who was kneeling on the ground scared out of his mind, then at Shang Yuya, who was shivering to the side, and a malicious light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Although Shang Yuya was pale and shaken, her delicate features and slender figure were still hard to hide.

Especially her clothes, which were clinging to her body after being soaked, outlined her exquisite curves, sparking wicked thoughts in people.

A wicked smile curled at the corners of Scar Strong's mouth. He crouched down, patted Lou Dong's face, and said in an ambiguous tone, "It's not impossible to give you another chance."

Hearing this, Lou Dong felt as if he had grabbed onto a final life-saving straw. He looked up abruptly, his eyes full of hope: "Brother Qiang, say it! As long as you can give me another chance, I'll do anything!"

Scar Strong's gaze turned toward Shang Yuya, the evil in his eyes unconcealed: "Your wife looks pretty good! Since you don't have money to pay the debt, why not let her play with us brothers? This will count as paying off a portion of the debt."

"What?" Lou Dong's face instantly became even uglier, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him from head to toe.

He turned his head sharply to look at Shang Yuya, his eyes filled with struggle.

Shang Yuya also heard Scar Strong's words and trembled violently, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.

She looked at Lou Dong in disbelief, her eyes full of terror and pleading: "Dong Zi, you won't agree, right? Quick, save me, Dong Zi!"

"Brother Qiang, this... this won't do..." Lou Dong's voice carried a hint of trembling, "She's my wife, I can't let her do this kind of thing... Please change the condition, no matter what it is, I'll agree to it!"

"Change the condition?" Scar Strong sneered, stood up, and kicked Lou Dong. "Besides this, what else do you have to give me? Either let your wife play with us, or I'll cripple your hands right now. You choose!"

After saying that, he gave a look to the lackey behind him.

The lackey immediately picked up the machete from the floor, walked to Lou Dong, and rested the blade against Lou Dong's wrist.

The cold blade against his skin made Lou Dong shudder, and fear swept over him once again.

"I'll count to three. If you still don't agree, I'll chop off your hand directly!"

Scar Strong's tone was cold and resolute.

"One!"

Lou Dong's body trembled violently. He looked at the machete on his wrist, then at the terrified Shang Yuya, the struggle in his heart becoming more and more intense.

On one side were his hands, on the other was his wife; he was caught in a dilemma.

"Two!"

Scar Strong's voice rang out again, carrying an unquestionable threat.

"No! Dong Zi, you can't agree!"

Shang Yuya cried out, her voice filled with despair.

Lou Dong felt an uncomfortable tightness in his chest, but thinking of the pain and despair of losing his hands, he ultimately chose to compromise.

He closed his eyes and painfully squeezed out a few words: "I... I agree..."

Hearing these words, Shang Yuya's body jolted as if all her strength had been drained, and she slumped onto the sofa.

She looked at Lou Dong in disbelief, her eyes filled with disappointment and despair.

She never imagined that the man she had loved for two years would push her into such an abyss just to save his own hands.

Scar Strong laughed with satisfaction and waved his hand for the lackey to put away the machete.

He pulled a small medicine bottle from his pocket and threw it to Lou Dong: "This contains an aphrodisiac. Feed it to your wife. When the effects kick in, we'll come back in."

Lou Dong caught the bottle, looking at the white powder inside, his heart filled with humiliation and helplessness.

But he didn't dare to resist; he could only grip the bottle tightly and nod.

"We'll wait for you outside. We'll give you ten minutes."
