Lin Jianshen composed himself and said, "Brother Jian, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor."

"I think I should practice with Boss Fang."

"When I first debuted, I swore that I would never bully women or children."

Sun Jian handed the cigarette butt to Qiangzi and clapped his hands twice, saying, "Sigh, if we had done this earlier, it wouldn't have been like this."

He then scoffed, "So your sister is neither a woman nor a child?"

Lin Jianshen wore a nonchalant smile: "They're just tools for making money and venting anger, so they don't count."

He looked down at the spot on his fist; a few days ago, there had been a band-aid there.

It was blue and wrinkled; it took him a long time to smooth out the band-aid.

Actually, the wound wasn't deep; if the band-aid had been applied any later, it would have healed completely.

But the girl mustered her courage, knocked on his door, and insisted on giving him what she had in her hand.

Lin Jianshen suddenly said, "Brother Jian, could you give me a pair of boxing gloves?"

"Boxing gloves?" Sun Jian looked puzzled. "You're acting really strange today."

Lin Jianshen pointed at Boss Fang: "I think he's on the verge of a breakdown. I'm afraid he'll give in after a couple of slaps."

"That's so boring, why would I bother getting angry?"

「戴着拳套,我多揍他几下。妈的,这孙子敢出老千。不让他好好长长记性怎幺行?」

Sun Jian squinted at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Even my dad said you have a talent for this, but it's a pity you can't control yourself."

"Qiangzi, get the boxing gloves."

Lin Jianshen put on boxing gloves and squatted down.

With his left hand holding down Boss Fang, he estimated the position and then delivered a heavy punch with his other hand, striking the flesh-to-skin junction of the last rib.

There is no direct protection from bones there, and the nerves are densely packed, with internal organs right next to it.

Even through the boxing gloves, the feeling of being assaulted still made him very uncomfortable.

My scalp tingled, and it felt as if my very soul was shaking and trembling.

In a daze, he heard a voice that seemed not to belong to him: "What a nostalgic feel."

A roar came from my head.

Boss Fang shuddered in pain, but Lin Jianshen held him down tightly.

His lips twitched unnaturally into a strange smile: "Boss Fang, no rush. Take your time, get used to it, and we'll have fun slowly."

The voice was filled with hostility.

Qi Xiumei cried desperately beside her.

Seeing that he had caught his breath, Lin Jianshen suddenly threw another punch.

This punch was clearly delivered with increased force.

Mr. Fang trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted.

Lin Jianshen held him down, his expression excited, as if he had become a different person.

"Oh dear, how could Boss Fang be so careless?"

"Look, even Sister Mei is heartbroken."

"Are you really out of money?"

Qi Xiumei broke down: "I still have some dowry, and my parents still have a house..."

Mr. Fang's voice was hoarse: "Please, please let us go. All our family has left is that one house my father-in-law left."

"Sorry, I'm just a debt collector." Lin Jianshen tilted his head. "But then again, I know what it's like to rent a place. Sometimes you have to put up with the landlord's attitude."

"But it seems like you cheated me out of my original house too."

"Where's my house?"

"Sold."

Lin Jianshen laughed and said, "Then you don't seem to have the right to beg for mercy from me. There's only one way out for you today."

"That is—paying back the money."

"Oh, right, just hold on a little longer. If you pass out, I won't be able to vent my anger yet."

Lin Jianshen turned to look at Qi Xiumei: "I wonder how long your wife can hold on?"

Boss Fang was punched in the stomach again, and clutching his stomach, he cried out, "I have to take responsibility for my own actions!"

Lin Jianshen looked at him and said, "Tsk tsk, you're quite the smooth talker now, but you tried to trick me into selling my sister while I was drunk."

"Do you know that they are my dearest relatives and friends, my siblings?"

"You don't seem to have the right to say that."

Boss Fang begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, it was really my fault. Please let me go."

Lin Jianshen tilted his head and looked at him: "If you take my sister away, who will earn money for me to drink?"

"By the way, your wife is pretty, but she looks delicate. I wonder how many punches she can take."

Boss Fang's voice was hoarse: "You said you wouldn't hit women and children."

Lin Jianshen threw his head back and laughed loudly: "You actually believe that... I've been doing this kind of work for a while now."

"And I love their screams the most."

Sun Jian sat on a single sofa in the lounge, smoking a cigarette.

I could hear screams coming from next door from time to time.

Bodyguard Qiangzi asked, "Brother Jian, why go to so much trouble to avenge him?"

Qiangzi used to be Sun Hao's confidant, but now he's been assigned to Sun Jian.

He was considered one of Sun Jian's confidants.

Therefore, Sun Jian did not hide anything: "You're overthinking it. I just want Boss Fang's money."

"Whether he's there or not, I'll still set up a scheme for Boss Fang."

"Taking advantage of Lin Jianshen was just a convenient thing to do."

Qiangzi asked again, "What's the use of having leverage over a scoundrel like him?"

Sun Jian flicked off his cigarette ash: "It was just a casual move, so it's not a big deal if it's useless."

"If it happens to come in handy someday, wouldn't that be a bonus?"

He said in an admiring tone, "My dad said that the person he admires most is President Su from the Su family."

"That woman, Su Qingqian, will purposefully sponsor many impoverished students, but most of them are of little use."

"But a few useful ones were of great help to her."

Qiangzi nodded as if he understood, then asked, "Will he report us to the police?"

Sun Jian laughed and said, "I know what kind of person he is. He seems fierce on the surface, but he is actually cowardly and afraid of trouble."

"He didn't dare, and he couldn't understand that I was actually using something against him."

"Believe it or not, he'll thank me after this is all over."

Qiangzi said, "I believe you."

Sun Jian turned on the projector out of boredom, watched a movie, and was about to choose another one when there was a knock on the door.

Lin Jianshen stood in front of the door, his face flushed with excitement, holding a piece of paper in his left hand.

"nailed it?"

Lin Jianshen patted his chest: "I'll take care of it."

Sun Jian unfolded the paper, which was covered in snot and tears.

Sun Jian tossed it to Qiangzi with some disdain and asked, "What's this?"

"The address above is the password for the electronic lock on Mr. Fang's parents' house."

"The numbers below are the combination to the safe at home."

"There was a property certificate inside, as well as some money that Qi Xiumei had hidden away, which she said was her dowry."

Sun Jian laughed and said, "I knew it! Boss Fang bought such a good location in the food street, but he doesn't put any effort into running it."

"It's probably because they have money that they don't care much."

"Look, what a big order!"

Lin Jianshen asked, "Has his debt been cleared?"

Sun Jian gave him a look of exasperation: "Why have you suddenly lost your mind again?"

"How could we possibly make him pay it all back?"

"For big clients like this, of course we should leave them for later and take our time."

He looked at Lin Jianshen's expression and said, "This is your first time handling such a big deal. Do you think I'm being cruel?"

Lin Jianshen scoffed, "Cruel my ass, I wish I could beat him to death."

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

Sun Jian nodded approvingly: "Don't forget how we looked with our faces bruised and swollen by the stinky ditch."

"To rise above others, you must be ruthless."

He nudged Lin Jianshen with his shoulder: "Hey, brother, to be honest, you're not mad at me, are you?"

Lin Jianshen laughed and said, "Haha, he lied to me so much, how could I blame you?"

"You're overthinking it, bro."

Sun Jian winked at Qiangzi.

Lin Jianshen said, "Brother Jian, give me the contract."

Sun Jian handed him the contract and pointed to the table on the other side: "The shredder is over there."

Lin Jianshen glanced at the contract, then took it to the shredder and shredded it.

He shuddered as he listened to the sound of the paper shredder working.

When he turned around, his expression seemed to have changed slightly: "Brother Jian, thank you."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take Siyuan back first."

Sun Jian said, "Wait a minute."

Lin Jianshen turned around: "Brother Jian, is there anything else you need?"

Sun Jian handed over an envelope: "As I said, this deal is very lucrative."

"Thirty thousand yuan, isn't that generous enough?"

Lin Jianshen pointed to the paper shredder: "No need, you've already paid the fee, so there's no need for money."

Sun Jian shoved him into his arms: "What, aren't you giving your older brother any face?"

Lin Jianshen said with a grin, "No, it's just that the bag I bought this morning was a bit expensive, and I was afraid you'd feel bad about it."

Sun Jian pointed at him and laughed loudly: "You've got a conscience, kid. But my sister has been quite temperamental ever since she was grounded."

"She told me to pay, so I dared not disobey."

"Keep this money for yourself."

Lin Jianshen no longer stood on ceremony and took the envelope: "Alright, then I won't be polite."

Song Siyuan followed behind him.

The two walked along the corridor, and the surrounding noise gradually faded away.

Lin Jianshen suddenly fell silent.

Song Siyuan watched his retreating figure.

The lights in the passageway lingered on him one by one before passing over him.
