Bang!
The door of the hospital room closed, and the sound made Zhang Shan's heart tremble. He was completely bewildered, his eyes filled with despair.
He had initially thought that Wang Chao, being so powerful, would stand by his side and save his life. But he never expected that Wang Chao's way of handling things would be to throw him out. Wasn't that pushing him into the fire pit?
"Wang Chao, you bastard, I'll kill you!" Zhang Shan roared angrily, his heart filled with the desire to kill.
But before he could finish speaking, he received a slap from Huang Zixu, hitting him so hard that his head buzzed and his face burned with pain.
"Zhang Shan, you're quite something, borrowing our money and refusing to repay it, and now you want to run away. You even caused me to get hit. Tell me, how should we settle this account?" Huang Zixu said coldly.
Zhang Shan wanted to escape, but it was useless. Three or four people had already pinned him down, rendering him unable to move.
His eyes were filled with terror, and he quickly begged for mercy, "Brother Huang, give me a chance. I was wrong, I beg you. Just give me a little more time, I promise I'll come up with the money."
"Heh, give you a chance? Zhang Shan, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I don't know what you're really like? Well, this is a hospital. If I injure you, I'm not afraid of causing a death!" Huang Zixu's gaze turned icy as he took out a dagger and said coldly, "Hold his hand down on the ground. Today, I'm going to chop off one of his fingers!"
As he spoke, two thugs immediately took action, firmly pressing Zhang Shan's hand to the ground.
Huang Zixu's expression turned dark, and he held the dagger against Zhang Shan's finger.
The sharp blade cut through Zhang Shan's skin, drawing a drop of blood.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Zhang Shan struggled frantically, trying to escape.
But it was futile. The thugs were ruthless, holding him down tightly, rendering him completely immobile.
As Huang Zixu was about to cruelly sever his finger with a sinister smile, Zhang Shan's face turned pale with fear, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, listen to me. I have money, I really have money!"
Only then did Huang Zixu lift the dagger slightly and asked, "How much money?"
"Huang Ge, listen to me. Although I don't have money, my sister does."
Zhang Shan, in order to avoid harm, had already thrown caution to the wind and said, "Do you know that guy Wang Chao? He's my sister's man. He's really wealthy. I investigated him before, and my sister controls stocks worth tens of millions for him."
"As long as I find a way to get him to sleep with my sister, then he will be my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law will definitely help me repay the debt!"
Huang Zixu laughed upon hearing Zhang Shan's words. "Zhang Shan, you're quite something. You even dare to betray your dear sister."
"However, we all saw Wang Chao's way of doing things earlier. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would help you repay the debt."
"So, forget about that finger of yours!"
With that, he exerted force with the dagger in his hand and swung it down.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Zhang Shan immediately felt an excruciating pain in his finger and let out a heart-wrenching scream. His face twisted in agony, and he was drenched in sweat.
His finger wasn't severed, but it was dripping with blood.
Huang Zixu raised the dagger, aiming it at Zhang Shan's eyes. "Shut up! Otherwise, the next cut will be your eyes!"
Zhang Shan was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word.
"This cut is your punishment. If you can't come up with the money today, next time I'll chop off all your fingers."
Huang Zixu stared coldly at Zhang Shan and said, "Tell me, when can you repay the money?"
Zhang Shan still felt intense pain in his finger, his face pale, and he couldn't utter a word.
Huang Zixu slapped him again and scolded, "Speak up! When will you repay the money?"
Zhang Shan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to speak at all.
He was penniless at the moment. He had come here by bus, hoping to scam some money from the driver who had hit his father.
But Wang Chao did not fall for his tricks. Instead, he beat him up and threw him out, leaving him in despair.
Now, he had no money to repay Huang Zixu.
"No money, huh? Alright, brothers, give him a beating!" Huang Zixu said coldly.
As he spoke, a group of vicious thugs immediately pinned Zhang Shan to the ground and began ruthlessly beating him, leaving him covered in bruises and wounds.
One person was particularly brutal, picking up a brick and preparing to strike Zhang Shan's head.
Huang Zixu immediately stopped him, threw the brick away, and rebuked, "Have you gone crazy? Who told you to hit his head?"
"Boss, I..."
"What 'boss'? We're here for the money. What if you damage his head? And remember, Wang Chao said we can't give rise to any deaths. Do you want me to die?"
Huang Zixu glared at the thug and angrily slapped him, "Get lost, you stupid bastard!"
Though he was fierce, Huang Zixu still remembered Wang Chao's words and did not dare to give rise to any deaths.
From Wang Chao's gaze just now, Huang Zixu could tell that Wang Chao was not someone he could provoke.
At this point, Wang Chao probably just wanted to teach Zhang Shan a lesson through him. If things really escalated and someone died, Huang Zixu could not guarantee what would happen.
"Stop hitting him, Brother Huang, I beg you, please stop," Zhang Shan pleaded desperately, in pain from the beating.
However, his pleas were futile.
Those people continued to grab hold of him and relentlessly beat him, causing him excruciating pain. He curled up on the ground, crying and howling.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Huang Zixu looked at the door of the ward and thought to himself, "This Wang Chao seems to be using someone else to do his dirty work. It's not like he wants to kill anyone, just teach Zhang Shan a lesson."
"So, he must have money to repay. As long as Zhang Shan is beaten enough, he will show up."
With this in mind, Huang Zixu uttered to his subordinates, "Keep hitting him! Hit him harder and make him cry!"
Inside the ward, Zhang Min heard her brother's screams of agony from outside and became extremely worried. She looked at Wang Chao and said, "Brother Wang, won't something bad happen with them beating him like this?"
"Do not worry, he won't die," Wang Chao replied calmly.
"So, we just watch him being beaten like this?" Zhang Min's eyes filled with concern, feeling a bit uneasy.
"It's fine. I just kicked him, and he was able to stand up so quickly. He's quite sturdy. It's better for him to take a few more beatings to make the lesson sink in."
Wang Chao remained composed, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "What we need to do is one word: wait!"
"Wait for what?"
"Wait for someone to come!"
Confused and puzzled, Zhang Min asked, "Wait for someone? Who are we waiting for?"
