The alley where Yang Xiaolan's house was located was in the slums of the Imperial Capital.
It was remote and the security was bad.
Although they knew that Yang Xiaolan's family might have some difficulties, they didn't know that the situation was so bad.
In the distance, they could see the dilapidated little yard deep in the alley. The fence was made of some broken, rotten wood that had been casually surrounded.
Even the thing known as the "gate" was nothing more than a broken plank that had been split in half by an axe. It lay crookedly to one side.
It was a bungalow but the tiles on the roof were all broken.
The windows were also broken in several places..
There was originally a small stove in the courtyard. The fire inside had not been extinguished, and it was obvious that it was stewing soup. However, the clay pot that was stewing soup was kicked to the ground, and the pork rib kelp soup inside spilled all over the ground.
Upon seeing this, Gu Qiqi and Xiao Ning looked at each other.
They felt that this situation could no longer be explained by family difficulties.
Indeed.
A few more steps.
An unusual sound was heard.
It was extremely violent!
"Mr. Yang, how dare you say you don't have money to pay me back? What is this?"
"Hand over the thing in your hand and I'll waive your interest today!"
"Hmph, you're so straightforward when you're borrowing money. So when will you return the money? Let me tell you, there's no free lunch in this world! If you can't return the money after eating, then spit it out for us!"
"No money? I'll beat you until you vomit!"
The threatening voice came from afar and soon reached the door.
Bang!
The door was kicked over and shattered into two like the courtyard gate.
In a cloud of dust.
A few burly men pushed and shoved an old man into the middle of the courtyard.
"Dad! Don't hit my dad! That's not his stuff. It belongs to a guest, so I can't give it to you. Can you be more reasonable… We owe money, but your interest is too high…"
Yang Xiaolan rushed out and looked at Father Yang worriedly.
The latter was holding onto a small package tightly, refusing to let go.
No matter how the burly men's fists landed on his back, he remained stubbornly silent.
"Xiaolan, hurry up and leave! Don't bother about me! I borrowed the money, it has nothing to do with you."
Yang Xiaolan's face was covered in tears. "Dad, this money… how could it be borrowed by you? It was clearly borrowed by Yang Xiaoqing! Yang Xiaoqing, that ungrateful bastard! Why didn't you ask him for money? He stole Qingyu Xuan's most valuable assets and sold them to outsiders. Now that he's rich, why didn't you ask for it!?"
The leader snorted. "Your father's signature is on the IOU. Of course we're looking for him!"
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled wretchedly. "Little sister, since you're so concerned about your father, why don't you use your body to repay the money?"
The moment he said this.
A few burly men immediately laughed sinisterly as they sized up Yang Xiaolan's figure.
Yang Xiaolan was petite and thin.
It gave them the urge to bully her.
"I think it's fine! Why don't we just play with her once to offset the interest for a day!"
"How can it be so valuable? The chickens outside are only worth 200 yuan each time. Can she be worth the interest of 20,000 yuan a day?"
"Tsk tsk, that's 100 times to pay back the interest for a day… Ah, wouldn't you have to work hard to earn enough money to save your father?"
"Tsk tsk, this father-daughter relationship is so deep. How about we fulfill it?"
