"Where's Xiao Yun?"
Yu Tian realized she had not shown up at work. It was almost nine o'clock, but she did not even explain her absence with a phone call. Did something bad happen?
He instructed Old Han to redo the proposal and call Xiao Yun.
"She turned off her phone?"
The young man immediately rose to his feet. He decided to drop by her house to check if something was wrong.
Xiao Yun's house.
Xiao Aichu poured baijiu down his throat. Under the alcoholic influence, his twisted features were magnified.
In the corner, Xiao Yun's hands were tied up behind her back and she was gagged. She curled up into a ball and cried with terror.
Aichu smashed the alcohol bottle in front of her and shouted through his gritted teeth, "T'll sell you off to Young Master Lei if you don't call your boss. I lost two million yuan to the b*gger last night!"
"Didn't you say that your boss adores you? He wants to marry you, right? I'm his future father-in-law, so what's wrong with asking him to lend me some money?"
Xiao Yun shook her head violently. She had lost all faith in her father.
After Yu Tian helped him settle the debt with Young Master Feng, he went on to gamble at another illegal casino on the same night. In the end, he lost another two million yuan.
He even demanded Xiao Yun to ask for more money from her boss. The young woman was already clueless as to how she would repay Yu Tian's previous kindness.
So, she had made up her mind to not ask him for money ever again, even if it meant she was going to be killed.
Aichu stomped forward and pulled his reluctant daughter's hair.
He shouted, "If you don't do it, then I'll have no choice but to sell you to Young Master Lei. I birthed and raised you. Your life belongs to me!"
Shortly after, a young man in his early twenties dressed in a black suit and brown sunglasses showed up. He walked into the house with a handkerchief over his mouth. Disgust was written all over his face.
Upon seeing him, Aichu instantly changed his demeanor. He humbly bowed and smiled at the man.
"Young Master Lei, you didn't need to come all the way here. Please, take a seat!"
Lei Yi glanced at the young woman who was crying in the corner. Behind the sunglasses, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He did not expect Xiao Aichu to have such a sexy daughter. It seemed like the man was planning to trade her for two million yuan.
He gave a snort of indignation and said impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense. I'm here to collect the two million yuan you owe my casino. Have you got the money ready?"
Aichu turned to look at his daughter. Then, he smiled shamelessly.
"Young Master Lei, I don't have the money now. However, my son-in-law is a wealthy man who owns a huge business. My daughter will be able to get the money from him!"
Lei Yi did not believe a single word he said.
No one would be foolish enough to trust the words of a gambling addict.
Who would want to be the son-in-law of such a useless person?
Unless the person was stupid himself.
Since the man was unable to repay his debt, Lei Yi thought that he should trade in his daughter instead.
Once he got bored of fooling with her, he could sell her off to the west to become a prostitute. It would still be a profitable business.
Without wasting more time, he instructed his staff to forcefully drag the struggling young woman out of the house.
He was about to leave when Aichu stopped him.
"Young Master Lei, hang on a second!"
"Why? Are you regretting your choice?"
Lei Yi glared at him coldly.
"Oh, no, of course not. I'd like to ask you for a favor. When my son-in-law pays for the ransom, can you demand another few million yuan from him? I want to have some pocket money!"
Lei Yi had encountered numerous shameless people, but none of them could compare to Xiao Aichu.
This person was totally inhumane. He was a piece of garbage.
However, this had nothing to do with him. He just snorted sarcastically and took his leave.
After sending them off, Aichu found another bottle of alcohol in the cupboard. He hummed joyfully as he drank more liquor.
"Once I get the money, I'll try my luck at the casino again. I don't believe I'll always be so unlucky!"
At the same time, he heard the noise of tires screeching coming from outside his house.
He turned to look at the source of the noise, only to see Yu Tian kicking open the door and stomping inside.
Aichu was delighted. Now, he could take advantage of the young man again.
He put on an anxious look, hurried to the front door, and started wailing.
"My dear son-in-law, you're finally here. Please save my daughter. She's been kidnapped! They're asking for five million yuan in ransom or they'll kill her!"
Kidnap?
Yu Tian frowned. Who would be foolish enough to kidnap Xiao Yun, who had nothing of value?
It would have made sense if she was the daughter of some affluent family.
Clearly, Aichu was lying.
Yu Tian yelled in rage and wrapped his fingers around the man's neck.
"Tell me the truth. Have you sold Xiao Yun off to someone again?"
The tone of his voice was very intimidating.
Aichu's entire body was shaking uncontrollably. His little trick was not enough to deceive the young man.
Since his lie was exposed, he thought that he should just tell the truth. After all, he did not believe that Yu Tian would kill him.
Upon reaching that conclusion, Aichu covered his mouth with both of his hands and started crying.
"It's all my fault. I couldn't control my addiction and went gambling again last night. I lost five million yuan to Young Master Lei and they took Xiao Yun away as payment!"
Yu Tian was exasperated. He would have killed this man with a single punch if he was not Xiao Yun's father!
How could he sell his own daughter off like a commodity?! In fact, he even did it twice!
He had to give him a good warning. The young man pushed Aichu to the ground and firmly reproached him.
"Listen, starting from this moment, Xiao Yun is no longer your daughter. I'll kill you if you dare to harass her or her mother again!"
Aichu's face was as pale as a sheet. He nodded nervously.
Either way, his plan worked.
As for Yu Tian's threat?
He could deal with it next time!
After Yu Tian sped off into the distance in his Continental GT, Aichu snorted in contempt and slowly got back to his feet.
"Xiao Yun is my daughter. You can't do anything about it. I'll not give up until I get 10 million yuan from you!"
Meanwhile, Yu Tian made a phone call to Chu Qing.
The second she picked up, he asked impatiently, "Elder Sister Qing, do you know someone named Young Master Lei? He runs a casino!"
Her cold voice entered the phone.
"It seems like you keep getting yourself involved with casino owners. Is it because of your secretary again?!"
Yu Tian did not know how else to explain.
"Elder Sister Qing, we graduated from the same university and she's also my employee. I'll do the same if anyone else was in her situation!"
"Enough!"
Chu Qing's unkind tone turned several octaves higher.
"You treat her like a friend but she thinks of you as her husband. I can't control what you do but may I remind you, you're now a boss with a net worth of over ten billion yuan. Yet, you're going around town, fighting with strangers because of a female secretary. I'm ordering you to head back to the office
right now. I forbid you from getting yourself involved with Xiao Yun's family business again. Their life has nothing to do with you. Listen to me and head back right away!"
She was genuinely furious this time.
Yu Tian was doing too much for Xiao Yun. It was enough to threaten his relationship with the elder sisters.
Furthermore, Chu Qing was considered as one of the more merciful sisters. The other elder sisters might make Xiao Yun disappear if they learned about this news.
However, Yu Tian was not the kind of person to watch someone die!
"Elder Sister Qing, I can't do that. You can scold me all you want, but I'm going to rescue Xiao Yun no matter what!"
'What kind of person would he be if he chose not to save the young woman?
Chu Qing became even more infuriated upon hearing that.
It seemed like Yu Tian could not understand where she was coming from.
Given his status and identity, Xiao Yun was not a good match for him.
When would he understand that?
