Chapter 197: Deserving to Die Ten Thousand Times

It turned out that two years ago, Li Rong's husband had been diagnosed with leukemia.

To pay for her husband's bone marrow transplant, she borrowed money everywhere, yet she was still one hundred thousand short for the surgery.

With no other options, Li Rong had to bite the bullet and go to the person in charge of the Baijiang Society, who was the owner of the Baijiang Nightclub, Li Baijiang.

The reason Li Rong went to Li Baijiang was that Li Baijiang often lent money to people.

Although the interest on loans from Li Baijiang was very high, Li Rong was forced into a corner with no other choice.

However, what Li Rong never dreamed of was that she had actually been swindled!

The agreement had clearly been for an annual interest rate of ten percent, but the terms in the contract had been changed to a monthly interest rate of ten percent.

To put it simply, Li Rong had originally borrowed one hundred thousand, and after one year, she would have repaid one hundred and ten thousand including principal and interest.

But now, she would incur ten thousand in interest every month; after one year, the interest alone would be one hundred and twenty thousand, and adding the principal, it would be two hundred and twenty thousand!

Annual interest rate, monthly interest rate—there was only a one-character difference, yet the consequences were worlds apart!

Furthermore, even after borrowing the money, Li Rong's husband did not pull through; the bone marrow transplant failed, and he died shortly after.

Having spent all her savings and burdened with heavy debt, Li Rong was completely desperate.

If it weren't for the need to raise her daughter Li Lele, she might have found a secluded place to quietly die and meet her husband in the afterlife.

"This... this is simply... outrageous!" Lin Wei clenched her small fists, trembling with anger.

Lin Feng also felt furious.

An annual interest rate of ten percent was already very high, yet they had secretly changed it to a monthly interest rate of ten percent to cheat ordinary people.

This Li Baijiang truly deserves to die ten thousand times!

"Why didn't you go to court to sue? Such a high interest rate does not conform to the laws of our Dragon Kingdom at all; it should be ruled invalid," Lin Feng said.

Li Rong cried and said, "How would I dare? If I went to court to sue, perhaps my daughter and I would be killed by the people of the Baijiang Society without anyone knowing... I am just a weak woman with no strength to truss a chicken; how would I dare to report this to the authorities?"

After saying this, Li Rong covered her face with both hands and sobbed.

Li Lele hugged Li Rong's leg and cried, "Mom, don't cry. When I grow up, I will help you pay back the money..."

However, hearing Li Lele's words, Li Rong cried even harder, almost becoming a person made of tears.

Lin Wei could no longer hold back and cast a pleading look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng then said, "Don't worry, I will help you. I will take care of this matter, and you will receive good news very soon."

Li Rong nodded but did not say much; it was clear she did not believe Lin Feng had the ability to do so.

But Lin Feng did not explain; anyway, saying anything now was useless, so he would just use actual actions to prove it.

After paying for the meal and leaving his contact information, Lin Feng left the small restaurant with Lin Wei.

Once outside, Lin Feng called Lei Dong and told him about the matter.

After listening, Lei Dong guaranteed with a resonant voice, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. I will send people to the Baijiang Nightclub tomorrow to have a good talk with Li Baijiang. If he is sensible, that's fine, but if he dares to be unreasonable, I will teach him how to behave!"

"Good, I will wait for your news," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng believed that Lei Dong could resolve this matter.

After all, he was the Dragon Soul Captain and a Martial Venerable Peak; if he couldn't even handle a small gang of thugs, he should just find a block of tofu and bash his head against it!

"Xiao Wei, I have already arranged it. Don't worry, the problem for that mother and daughter will be solved very soon," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Lin Wei, however, could not be happy. She lowered her head slightly and said dejectedly, "Brother, what has happened to this world? Why do those with money and power always like to bully ordinary people?"

"If they didn't bully ordinary people, how could they show that they have money and power?" Lin Feng said.

"But this is just too... if we hadn't encountered them, the fate of Li Rong and Li Lele would surely have been very miserable," Lin Wei said again.

Lin Feng patted Lin Wei's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will handle it well."

"But in places we can't see, there must still be situations like this," Lin Wei said.

Lin Feng said helplessly, "This is also something that can't be helped, but I can guarantee that as long as I encounter it, I will definitely intervene and will never stand by and watch."

Only then did Lin Wei finally reveal a smile, hugging Lin Feng's arm and saying, "Brother, I knew you wouldn't condone those bad people!"

Lin Feng chuckled and stepped onto the road home with Lin Wei.

At the same moment, at the Baijiang Nightclub.

In a luxurious private room, a burly man with a large frame sat in a grand manner on a soft leather sofa, holding a sexy woman with heavy makeup and revealing clothes in each arm.

"Brother Baijiang, come, eat a grape."

The enchanting woman on the left pinched her fingers and brought a peeled grape to Li Baijiang's lips.

Li Baijiang laughed, bit the grape, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it with a gulp.

"Little beauty, your grape is truly delicious."

The woman on the right immediately offered a cherry and said coquettishly, "Brother Baijiang, try my cherry; my cherry must be even better."

"It really is better, it's delicious to death!"

Li Baijiang laughed loudly, touching and rubbing the two sexy women, making them pant with excitement.

Suddenly, Huang Ya, with a bruised face and blood hanging from his lips, stumbled in.

Li Baijiang was instantly furious and roared, "How many times have I said it? When I am playing with women, no one is allowed to disturb me!"

Huang Ya trembled and said, "But Big Brother, something happened! That widow Li Rong found a very powerful fighter from somewhere, and none of us were his match... Big Brother, look, I've been beaten into this state!"

Li Baijiang did not take it to heart and sneered, "I thought the sky had fallen; it turns out it's just about that widow. You can't even handle such a trivial matter and got beaten up—are you all useless?"

After a harsh scolding, Li Baijiang ordered without any courtesy, "Take more people now and go smash Li Rong's shop for me. I want everyone to know what the consequences are for going against me, Li Baijiang!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Huang Ya nodded in agreement and then left at high speed.

And as soon as Huang Ya left, Li Baijiang impatiently pulled the two women back into his arms and began groping them.

One woman said, "Brother Baijiang, why are you making things difficult for a widow? Why not just let her go like a fart?"

"That won't do. If I let her go and word gets out, others will think I, Li Baijiang, am finished, that I can't even handle a widow who sells spicy noodles!" Li Baijiang said with a ferocious expression.
