Han Yichen’s face turned completely dark when he heard Han Ziyan’s words. He no longer knew what to say to his adopted daughter. It seemed like Han Ruochen was correct. Han Ruochen only had a sweet tongue but a bitter heart. In their family, she only cared for herself and no one else besides herself. Her character was not only self-centred but also cold-blooded.

Han Ruochen’s face also darkened, but she did not erupt. She had long known how selfish Han Ziyan truly was in her heart, so she did not have many expectations from her anyway. She pursed her lips and said, "Fine, since you have to leave, just make a quick trip home and tell Sister Xuehan to come over now. " The two of us thought that you still had two hours before starting your shift at the warehouse, and we arranged everything according to that."

"Now that you have something to deal with, just relay the message to our eldest sister."

"Sure." Han Ziyan felt like she was quite generous and then rushed out of the ward. She was worried that if she stayed any longer, her father would ask her to stay behind.

Han Ruochen watched her leave and sighed. She shook her head and turned her attention to her father; the good mood from earlier also disappeared. Now she could only hope that the Xu family was in big trouble; only then would the bad breath in her chest ease a little.

"Ouch! Why are you hitting me? You should have gotten the money now, right?" Xu Jin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but at the same time he was too terrified to even make a peep, so he could only glare at the leader of the thugs, who was looking down at him. If his hands were not tied, then...then...the man thought there was nothing he could do. He could not fight with these people, and there was nothing that he had in his hands that could threaten them. He could only be beaten up by them.

Xu Jin was terrified, and all of his anger just went down the drain in a whoosh.

"What money?" sneered the leader. "Do you even know when we went to look for the woman you told us about? She actually told us that she has no money and even if she did, she would never take out a single penny for a man like you. Xu Jin, you told us that you and your brother-in-law’s family have very good relations, but it seemed like they actually hate you to your bones."

Xu Jin turned pale when he heard that Han Ruochen had not given these men any money. When he sent these thugs to Han Ruochen, he thought that as long as these men threatened her a little, that woman would take three thousand yuan in a hurry. What was more, the two of them were still related to one another even if they did not have a good relationship. But that woman was so heartless that she actually left him in this mess!

Damn Han Ruochen. That woman better not fall into his hands, or else he would make her look good.

Xu Jin was extremely petty and narrow-minded. When he heard that Han Ruochen was not willing to help him, he wanted to hurt her so badly that she would remember her mother. However, even if he planned to cause trouble for Han Ruochen, he still had to wait until his family could release him from the clutches of these thugs.

"Ca..Can you call my sister? I can talk to her. Maybe that woman was scared silly by you lot and refused...but if my sister talks with her, she will definitely take the money out." Xu Jin could only turn to Xu Yuanshu. He hoped that his sister would be willing to talk to Han Ruochen for him, or else he was worried that he would really lose his hands or feet. He could not allow that to happen!

The leader of the thugs wanted this effect from the start. So he naturally nodded and asked his underlings to bring Xu Yuanshu to the gambling den.

It didn’t take long for the underlings to drag Xu Yuanshu over, who looked terrified and flustered. Even though she was quite courageous when she acted up in the Han family, she was actually a paper tiger. When she was brought over, she did not dare to even utter a fart and looked at the person in front of her with a terrified expression on her face.

"Sister!" Xu Jin shouted in panic when he saw Xu Yuanshu walking over. He wanted to hurry over, but he could not because he was tied like a dog to one place.

"Ah Jin!" Even though her brother had caused a lot of trouble for her, Xu Yuanshu was still heartbroken when she saw his condition. She could see that these thugs were really ruthless and their threats were not just empty words; they would really break the legs of her brother if they did not get the money they wanted.

"Yuanshu, wuuu...you have to help me. If this goes on, then I am afraid that I will be killed. Go and ask Han Ruochen to take three thousand yuan; you are her sister-in-law, and by relation I am also her brother. Why is she so ruthless? She didn’t even give me any face and left me to suffer like this."

"What? You went to look for Han Ruochen?" Xu Yuanshu was startled when she heard that her brother went to look for Han Ruochen. Her expression turned really bad. After all, she knew in her heart that Han Ruochen was no longer as obedient as she was before, she must have refused to take the money out, which caused her brother to be beaten up like this.

Xu Jin nodded pitifully and even started to fan the flames. "She even told these people that she did not care whether I lived or died. Yuanshu, how can she be so cruel? In the end, you are the wife of her brother, how can she leave me here?"
