After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 85 Not Saved

"It's only right and proper to pay off debts."

Chen Yanjin said slowly, "How do you plan to repay your money? Just say it in one sentence."

Looking at the crowd of waiters, Xie Jinbo knew he had no chance of escaping today, so he quickly said, "I was very rude just now. Please let me go home, Mr. Chen. I will definitely go home and get the money to pay back the debt!"

"Let you go home?"

Chen Yanjin scoffed, "You've already lost all the Xie family's land deeds, what money do you have left to pay back? Besides, I haven't forgotten what happened last time. You said the same thing before, but after you left, you hid at home and never came back. Do you really think I don't remember?"

"My...my sister-in-law is rich!"

Xie Jinbo was so frightened that he could barely speak, "She gave me the four thousand taels of silver last time. Her family is rich! She can definitely come up with five thousand taels of silver too!"

"Oh?"

Chen Yanjin raised an eyebrow. "Your Xie family actually has such a sucker? Fine, then I'll send someone to ask your Xie family for it. But asking them for five thousand taels of silver without any proof, I'm afraid they won't believe it."

As he said this, Chen Yanjin's gaze swept over him, and after a moment he turned around and said, "Take off one of his legs and send it to the Xie family along with the dog skin he's wearing today. If his family doesn't bring over five thousand taels of silver before dawn, then take off his other leg too!"

Xie Jinbo's eyes flashed with terror, his teeth chattering as he stammered, "Boss Chen! Boss Chen! Please spare me this time! Let me write an IOU and they'll still pay me!"

Chen Yanjin had no intention of replying to him. Several of his men immediately stepped forward and pinned him down. One of the men, Wang Er, took out a large knife from somewhere, picked up a bowl of wine, put it in his mouth, and spat it onto the blade before slowly walking towards Xie Jinbo.

"My knife skills aren't very good, Erlang, so don't move around too much. If you accidentally cut off the mark, it won't be good."

With a heart-wrenching scream, Xie Jinbo's leg was brutally severed, bleeding profusely on the spot, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Wang Er picked up Xie Jinbo's severed limb, hastily wrapped it with the clothes he had taken from Xie Jinbo's body, and then took the severed limb with him and several of his men to Xie's house.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

The waiter arrived at the Xie residence and banged on the gate without any politeness, but after shouting for a long time, the Xie family gatekeeper refused to open the door.

The commotion woke up the neighbors, who all put on their clothes, lit lamps, and went out to check what was happening. What they saw was the blood-soaked object in Wang Er's hand.

Unexpectedly, the Xie family refused to even open the door. Wang Er sneered inwardly. The situation was different now than last time. This time, they had Xie Jinbo as a hostage. The Xie family couldn't just pretend to be dead and hide!

After scanning his surroundings and seeing that a large number of people had gathered, Wang Er spoke in a loud, clear voice, issuing another warning.

"Although disturbing you all was not our intention at Wansheng Casino, since you are all here, you can stand as witnesses for our casino!"

Wang Er threw the package in his hand on the ground, and the bloody leg was immediately exposed. Everyone was shocked by the sight, and some of the weaker ones even vomited.

"Xie Erlang owed gambling debts at our Wansheng Casino. As the saying goes, a life for a life and a debt for a debt. Since Xie Erlang had no money to pay, we broke one of his legs as punishment."

"But that's not enough. The money still has to be paid back. My manager said that if the Xie family doesn't repay Xie Erlang's five thousand taels gambling debt before dawn, then he can forget about getting his remaining leg!"

These words caused an uproar. Although they had vaguely known that Xie Erlang owed gambling debts a few days ago, they never expected that he would cause such a big trouble this time!

Strangely, no matter how much the casino staff pounded on the door, the Xie mansion's gate remained firmly shut, and not a single servant came to inquire.

This made the onlookers somewhat puzzled. Could it be that the Xie family was truly so disappointed in Xie Jinbo that they no longer cared about his life?

Wang Er was an impatient man to begin with, but he patiently moved a chair and sat down at the Xie family's gate. However, even as the eastern sky began to lighten and the sun slowly rose, the Xie family still made no move.

"I never imagined that officials could be so heartless!"

Wang Erbai waited all night, his heart filled with anger. "They don't even care about the lives of their own children and grandchildren. If that's the case, then our Wansheng Casino won't be polite!"

After saying this, Wang Er stood up and called to his men to leave, "Let's go back!"

At this moment, Xie Jinbo, whose leg had been severed, was tied to a pillar. Although he slowly woke up, he saw his bloody severed leg and felt the excruciating pain in his leg, and he couldn't stop crying out.

"Don't scream."

Rouge sat to the side, coldly watching his current disheveled appearance. "Don't worry, the people at Wansheng Casino still need to keep your worthless life to go and ask the Xie family for money. They just gave you a life-saving soup, so you won't die easily. But it might be different when it gets light."

Looking at Rouge, who was no longer as tender as before, Xie Jinbo recalled the moments he had spent with her, and then, considering the "Yunniang" she had just mentioned, he gritted his teeth and said, "Was all of this orchestrated by you?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

Rouge's words were laced with undisguised sarcasm, "Now that you can barely keep your own life, do you still want to seek revenge on me? Xie Jinbo, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

During their conversation, Wang Er returned with a dark face. Seeing his expression, Xie Jinbo's heart jumped into his throat again, and he quickly spoke up.

"How did it go? Did my sister-in-law give me the money? Can I leave now?!"

"Go? Where to go?"

Wang Er sneered, "Don't even mention your so-called kind-hearted sister-in-law. I shouted at the Xie family's gate for ages, and not a single servant from your Xie family showed up. Who's going to help you pay back the money? Xie Jinbo, it seems the Xie family is really going to abandon you!"

As he said this, Wang Er picked up the large knife again and slowly walked towards him. "This is what we agreed on before. If the Xie family doesn't hand over the money before dawn, we'll cut off your other leg. Now that the sun has risen, Xie Erlang, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your other leg either!"

Xie Jinbo trembled uncontrollably, utterly unable to believe what Wang Er had said. Could it be that even his mother, who had always doted on him, would refuse to help him?
