43: Chapter 43 He prayed frantically in his heart that nothing bad would happen.

Lin Wantang covered her mouth.

She was scared half to death by Luo Wei's actions!

As the person involved, Xie Simin felt as if her soul was about to be obliterated!

Thud—

The sound of a strike rang out!

The kitchen knife in Luo Wei's hand slammed into the wall right next to Xie Simin's head!

Witnessing this scene, Lin Wantang breathed a sigh of relief, but upon closer inspection, she was left dumbstruck!

The blade of that kitchen knife was completely embedded in the wall, with only the handle remaining outside!

The inside of that wall was made of red brick; even using an impact drill would take quite a while!

Luo Wei's strength was truly defying the natural order!

Realizing the kitchen knife hadn't cleaved her head...

Xie Simin was still so terrified it felt as if her soul had been ripped out.

Her body went limp, and she slid down the wall to sit on the floor.

A wet patch appeared on her pants; she had clearly wet herself out of fear!

"Waaah..." Not only did she wet herself, but she also burst into tears from the fright.

"Can crying solve the problem?" With a dark expression, Luo Wei tossed the diary onto her.

"Return Lin Wantang's one million, and on top of that, you must pay her five hundred thousand in compensation!"

"Otherwise, I'm absolutely not done with you. I'll take photos of your diary and post them online to completely ruin your reputation!"

"Of course, if you obediently pay the compensation, your grudge with Lin Wantang will be wiped clean."

At this moment, Xie Simin's lifeblood was completely in his grasp.

She had no choice but to pay up.

"Sob... I, I don't have any money..."

"Lin Wantang's money is all spent..."

Hearing this, Lin Wantang also felt like grabbing a kitchen knife to hack someone!

She had worked so hard to earn hundreds of thousands from her Milk Tea Shop, plus her parents' hundreds of thousands in retirement savings—totaling one million.

In just a short six months, Xie Simin had actually squandered such a massive sum of money!

Luo Wei sneered, not caring whether Xie Simin had money or not.

"If you're out of money, ask your boyfriend for it!"

"Or ask your parents!"

"I'm giving you a one-hour limit to transfer the money."

"Otherwise, I'll be the first to post your diary on this neighborhood's bulletin board!"

Faced with this threat of social death, Xie Simin hurriedly grabbed her phone and dialed her father's number.

"Dad, sob, hurry home, waaah..."

On the other end of the line, the balding Father Xie was anxiously waiting outside the operating room.

His daughter's sudden crying call left his mind in a mess, and he had to rush away from the hospital.

He was very fast. Upon arriving home and entering, he saw his daughter slumped on the floor, the smell of urine emanating from her.

And inside the house, there were two strangers who clearly didn't come with good intentions!

In an instant, he was beyond furious!

"Who are you people?"

"What did you do to my daughter?"

"You dare to break into my home to cause trouble!"

"This is a society ruled by law; I'm calling the police right now..."

"Dad—" Xie Simin screamed, "Don't call the police!"

Xie Simin didn't want this matter to become a huge scandal!

If things escalated, it wouldn't benefit her one bit!

The balding Father Xie helplessly put down his phone. "Simin, what exactly happened?"

"I, I..." Xie Simin quickly made up an excuse. "I, I borrowed 1.5 million from them..."

"The loan is due, and I don't have the money to pay it back, so they came to the house..."

So that was what it was about.

The balding Father Xie really wanted to scold his daughter.

However, now was not the time to discipline her.

Wasn't it just 1.5 million? He had plenty of that!

"You should have told the family sooner; it's not like the family lacks money for your expenses!"

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Luo Wei. "You two wait here, don't do anything rash. I'm going to get the money!"

"Get the money?" Luo Wei chuckled. He knew where the balding middle-aged man was going to get the money; the wealth in the study's storage room had long since been emptied by him!

"Sorry, we don't want cash. We only accept transfers!"

Hearing Luo Wei say this, the balding Father Xie had no other choice.

He grit his teeth. "Fine!"

Lin Wantang was delighted; her money was coming back!

Then, the balding Father Xie pulled out his phone, preparing to make the transfer.

However, Luo Wei changed his mind. "Xie Simin borrowed 1.5 million from us, but with interest, it's two million!"

Lin Wantang was startled by Luo Wei; the other party had already agreed to give 1.5 million!

With Luo Wei opening his mouth so wide, she was worried the other party would regret it and refuse to pay!

However, although the balding Father Xie was extremely angry...

He could only glare at his useless daughter!

Two million was nothing. "Give me the account!"

At Luo Wei's signal, Lin Wantang hurriedly provided her account number!

Soon, the two million arrived. Father Xie waved his hand to dismiss them. "Now that you've received the money, get out!"

"As you wish!" Luo Wei took the diary out of his inventory and dropped it on the floor.

Then, he led Lin Wantang away with a swagger.

"What is this?" Father Xie didn't understand what those notebooks were.

"No, nothing..." Xie Simin stammered, hurriedly picking up the notebooks and turning to enter her room, closing the door.

Father Xie didn't have time to discipline his daughter; the presence of strangers in the house just now had given him a very bad feeling.

He quickly entered the study, wanting to see if his things were safe.

Closing the study door, he saw at a glance a notebook lying on the desk.

That notebook looked very much like the ones his daughter had been frantically protecting just now.

He picked up the notebook in confusion and flipped to a random page.

With just one glance, his blood pressure spiked, and he nearly had a heart attack from anger!

He had always felt he had raised his daughter well!

Who would have thought his daughter was actually so dissolute and shameless!

This kind of thing was simply unbearable to look at!

Father Xie slammed the notebook shut and took deep breaths!

He wanted to go find his daughter and ask her why she was so shameless!

Just then, he noticed that the bookshelf against the wall had clearly been moved by someone!

Horrified, he went to move the bookshelf, praying frantically in his heart that nothing would go wrong!

However, the moment he moved the bookshelf, he saw the hidden door that had been violently kicked open!

He looked into the room with trembling steps—just one look!

The empty storage room caused his breath to stop instantly!

His soul was suddenly ripped from his body, and his whole person collapsed onto the floor like he had no bones!

His face was bloodless as he stared blankly at the empty storage room, hoping it was just an illusion!

Because the money launderers took such a massive cut...

He had never taken this money to be cleaned.

He hadn't spent much of the money in the storage room at all, and now it had actually been emptied by someone else!

Father Xie felt weak all over, and sharp pains came from his heart; he was truly having a heart attack!

He wanted to call for his daughter, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

Outside the room, Xie Simin thought her father had gone back to the hospital to be with her mother.

She took her diaries into the kitchen; these things had to be disposed of, or they would affect her chances of marrying a rich man!

She placed the diary directly on the gas stove to ignite it; the smell of burning paper and leather was very pungent!

Xie Simin covered her nose and used chopsticks to try and flip the diary over.

By accident, the burning diary fell to the floor.

The flames almost burned her foot; she screamed in fright and quickly left the kitchen.

She came back after changing into shoes that could protect her feet, but to her surprise, the kitchen was filled with thick smoke!

The flames had ignited the apron hanging on the kitchen wall and the various plastic bags her mother had collected...
