Nian's eyes glinted with mischief, and he chuckled. "Clearing debt doesn't mean just paying back the money, dear~"
She eyed him in confusion. "Then how else will the debt get cleared?"
Nian threw his brother a questioning glance.
'How much does she know about our family?'
Jun shrugged and replied. "She has pretty much seen me killing a robber."
"Oohhh~ She has already seen the spicy part. Then this makes it easy."
He looked back at Ai and said, "Liu family is the leader of the Underworld. So loan sharking, gambling, casinos, gold - everything comes under us. I can find out in a jiffy about the loan sharks who are collecting debt from my Xing Bi. I will have a 'good word' with them, and they will set Xing Bi free! Hahaha!"
Ai slowly widened her eyes. "You can do that?"
Nian's nose grew longer with pride. "That's why we rule the Underworld. I will eradicate all the trouble that hangs around my woman!"
Ai softly trembled. She recalled Xing Bi's death in her past life and her efforts to look deeper into her accident. But all her efforts were in vain. It was an open and shut case. She had suspicions that perhaps the debt collectors had a hand in her death. Even though Xing Bi had paid all her father's debt with her hard work, she couldn't say for sure if the loan sharks really let go of her or not.
Those kinds of dangerous people were hard to escape from.
If…If I had Jun or Liu Nian's help in the past life, then maybe…maybe I would have gotten some leads to Xing Bi's case. Perhaps, I might have been able to avoid her death altogether…
Jun sharply noticed the mistiness in her eyes, and he knew what she was thinking about. He pulled her to his side and whispered in her ear. "Don't cry. What happened in the past won't repeat in this life."
The confidence in his voice reassured her.
Nian blinked. "What? What? Am I missing something here?"
"Nothing," Jun replied.
Ai glanced at Nian. "It will be really helpful if Xing Bi doesn't have to face anymore debts," she pursed her lips, "though I am not sure if she will appreciate it. She is used to doing everything all alone without anybody's help. She doesn't tend to depend on others…I want to help her, but I don't want to hurt her either."
Nian smiled. "She won't because technically, this debt is not hers to begin with. It's her father's. The gang seems like a bad apple who is breaking the Underworld rules. So, I will set them straight. That's a good thing actually.
I hadn't had fun in a while~"
Ai smiled in relief. "Thank you so much," she then smiled. "Though you will still have to work hard. She won't forgive you so easily."
She looked at Nian whose balloon of excitement just got deflated. She softly exhaled and said, "But I will talk to Xing Bi and convince her to forgive you. I will do my best."
Nian stared at her with his glittering gaze as if she was some Goddess who descended on earth just to help him. "Goddess Zhou Ai…"
"You can just call me Ai."
Jun's meter of anger rose. "No need to be so chummy with him! Let him call you by your full name."
Nian sneered. "You have got no say in this, little brother, if she has given me her permission! Ai, you can also call me Nian! Same with Jian!"
"Enough! Now get out of my house. You already ruined Ai and my time together!" Jun showed no mercy and dragged him out of his condo, kicking him out. This text is hosted at NovelHub(.)net
"No hey, only bye. Get out!"
"Wait! I have something else to say to you too," Nian harrumphed and whispered something to Jun.
Jun cocked his brow up. "I have already taken care of that."
Nian beamed. "Really!? That's why you are my little brother. I love you, Jun!"
Jun clutched his chest and wanted to puke. "Please stop that…You disgust me."
Nian winked and grinned. He craned his neck and furiously waved at Ai. "Bye, Ai! Your most favorite brother is leaving."
Her mouth twitched and so did Jun's.
"Don't worry about my family or Xing Bi! I will take care of everything. You have my full support!"
Ai chuckled. "Thank you."
Jun banged the door shut and rained a string of curses on Nian. He turned and walked back to Ai's side, pressing his brows together. "You look too happy for someone who interrupted us."
"It was nice talking to him," she sincerely said.
Jun smiled and blocked her way on the couch. "It would be nice if we continue where we left off too."
She coughed while her cheeks reddened. "I have things to unpack…"
Kissing her lips and unbuttoning his shirt, he sexily hushed into her mouth, "Yeah sure but after we finish what we had started…"
Yating called at the hospital and asked the doctor on the other side with a chilling voice, "Are those bastards awake?"
After getting lethally beaten up by Nian and Xing Bi in the Summit, there was no other option but to admit the corrupted judges in a hospital.
The doctor wiped his forehead on the other end. "N-Not yet…"
Yating shut his eyes, trying to rein his temper. "How long will it take? They have been there for a whole night now!"
"B-But they were beaten too badly. Whoever brought them to this condition was a beast! Just how much did he torture them?"
Yating recalled Nian's appearance and frankly, he was shocked by it. He could understand Jun and Yunru's presence in the Summit, but why Nian and even go so far for Xing Bi?
"Beaten too badly? If it was me, I would have fucking killed them! They are not innocent, so cut it with your sympathies. I just want to know when they will be awake. They have to answer my questions…" he warned in a low voice.
