Chapter 217 Brave Ruan Mei, Speaking Up for Justice
还债

Hearing those two words from Ding Yixie's mouth, Fang Zhanbo felt nothing but amusement. Could the Ding family ever repay what the Fang family owed them?

They could never pay off their debts in this lifetime, unless they all died.

Ding Yixie's words reignited a nameless fire in Fang Zhanbo's already dead heart, a raging flame that wanted to burn the Ding family to ashes.

Ding Yixie snapped his fingers twice, and his underling carried a cardboard box about half a person's size onto the table.

The most eye-catching thing on the cardboard box is the Ultraman toy.

Seeing these things, Fang Zhanbo's eyes were moved; these were all his toys from when he was a child.

What does Ding Yixie intend to do by bringing these things here?

"Do you remember this? When we were little, you loved Superman toys the most. Back then, a few of us would pick up your unwanted toys to play with. It's a pity that you can't buy them now. I had to go all the way to Kowloon City to buy this one."

"Now, I'm giving it back to you."

Ding Yixie picked up the Superman figure and threw it on the table, while Fang Zhanbo's eyes were already burning with anger.

That wasn't the end of it. Ding Yixie then had Fang Zhanbo escorted to a stove on the side.

“Back then, your father often helped our family out of poverty. Now, I’m burning it all for him in front of you.”

"Speak," Ding Yixie said, picking up a box of money from the table and deliberately showing it to Fang Zhanbo.

"Look carefully, there's more than you'll find."

After saying that, he picked up a stack of money and threw it next to the burning stove. Still feeling unsatisfied, he poured all the money in the box into it.

Fang Zhanbo watched the money slowly turn to ashes, feeling an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

“I remember our family ate a lot from your family, and now I’m returning the favor.”

At another table in the private room, various dishes had already been prepared. Fang Zhanbo was pressed onto the table, and Ding Yixie picked up his chopsticks and personally served the dishes to Fang Zhanbo's mouth.

"eat"

Fang Zhanbo forced himself to eat a piece, and after chewing it, his anger surged through his chest. He was about to spit it in Ding Yixie's face, but Ding Yixie was prepared and covered Fang Zhanbo's mouth tightly, shouting.

"Swallow it"

"You still feel like throwing up, swallow it down."

As he spoke, he grabbed the dishes on the table and shoved them into Fang Zhanbo's mouth. When Fang Zhanbo struggled, he punched him twice.

Fang Zhanbo was so uncomfortable that he felt like he was going to vomit bile.

After the feeding process, the Dingyi crabs' frenzy gradually became apparent.

“My dad used to beat your dad, and now, I’ll let you beat him on my dad’s behalf.”

As he spoke, he pulled Fang Zhanbo to the counter, picked up the wine bottle, and handed it to Fang Zhanbo.

Fang Zhanbo picked up a wine bottle and smashed it against Ding Yixie's head. He felt no fear, only exhilaration.

Just hear a bang.

Ding Yixie's head exploded and blood flowed, but he seemed to feel no pain at all. With a fierce look in his eyes, he even picked up the wine bottle himself.

"One bottle isn't enough."

He slammed the glass bottle against his head, shattering it, and blood streamed down his head to the corner of his eye.

Coupled with that ferocious face, it was quite frightening.

Even Fang Zhanbo hadn't expected Ding Yixie to be so ruthless. He was stunned for a moment, but soon his anger dispelled his fear.

"We have now repaid everything we owed the Fang family."

"What do you mean, 'pay back'? What are you going to use to pay back? You'll be able to pay it back even if your whole family dies."

Ding Yixie flew into a rage and punched Fang Zhanbo in the stomach again. With his hands firmly held, Fang Zhanbo had no choice but to passively take the beating.

“It’s not just us who owe your Fang family. You caused my father to run away, made us live without a father for more than ten years, and made my grandmother refuse to see us. My father wanted to turn his life around, but your father cut off his path.”

"I want to fight you one-on-one." Ding Yixie ordered his men to release Fang Zhanbo, and the two immediately started fighting. Fang Zhanbo had been holding back his anger for years and could no longer tolerate it. They exchanged punches and kicks.

He then picked up a wooden stool and smashed it on Ding Yixie's back, and Ding Yixie retaliated by hitting him back.

Having fought his way up in gangs since childhood, Ding Yixie easily beat Fang Zhanbo so badly he couldn't get up. Just as he was about to continue, the door to the private room opened.

Sister Ling arrived with Fang Ting and Ruan Mei.

He rushed over immediately and helped Zhanbo up.

"Zhanbo, are you alright?"

Fang Zhanbo was covered in blood and could barely stand.

Upon seeing Sister Ling and the others, Ding Yixie stopped making a move and taunted them with a disrespectful look:
"Sister Ling, it's been so long! You've raised four of them, and you still have such a great figure."

After helping Zhanbo up, Sister Ling slapped Ding Yixie across the face. Ding Yixie, who was hit, was clearly not expecting Sister Ling to dare to hit him.

"You dare to hit me?"

Just as he was about to retaliate, another group of people entered the private room.

With his slicked-back hair and loose black suit, he bears a striking resemblance to Ding Yixie at first glance.

This person was none other than Ding Xiaoxie, the eldest son of the Ding family.

It turned out that before setting off to find Ruan Mei, Fang Ting had called her grandmother, who was also the grandmother of the Ding brothers, and left a message.

The shrewish mother-in-law, upon seeing the message, immediately sought out Ding Xiaoxie, which is why Ding Xiaoxie rushed over at this time.

The Fang family certainly knew who Ding Xiaoxie was, but the two families were enemies, so Sister Ling and the others did not greet Ding Xiaoxie.

The first thing Ding Xiaoxie did upon entering was to look at his younger brother and pat his wet, blood-covered head.

"How did it get like this?"

"Big Brother"

Ding Yixie smiled but said nothing, while Ding Xiaoxie walked up to Sister Ling in a very open and generous manner.

"Sister Ling, I didn't want this to happen either. I promise you, I will never harass you Fang people again."

Sister Ling looked at Ding Xiaoxie with disgust, but said nothing. She knew that with their current impoverished family background, they couldn't afford to offend a scumbag like Ding Xiaoxie.

Therefore, he only wanted to take Fang Zhanbo home with him.

As for Ding Xiaoxie, although he appears to respect Sister Ling on the surface, he has actually been intentionally protecting his younger brother ever since he entered the place.

If he truly respected Sister Ling, he wouldn't have come in and immediately expressed concern for his younger brother, and instead asked, "How did things get like this?"

He was sending a signal and stating his position.

Sister Ling saw things clearly, so she didn't say anything, because she knew that ordinary people like them couldn't do anything about Ding Xiaoxie and his gang of gangsters.

So, she pulled Zhanbo away.

Sister Ling wanted to keep the peace and dared not offend Ding Xiaoxie and his group, but Ruan Mei, who was traveling with her, could not stand it.

The person was beaten up like this, and these people on the other side just let it go with a flippant remark, without even offering the most basic apology. Isn't this bullying?

In the past, she wouldn't have bothered with such trivial matters, because she couldn't even guarantee her own life, so why would she actively cause trouble, especially not with these sluts?

But the current Ruan Mei is no longer the Ruan Mei who lived in the housing estate. She has the backing of the community property management company and Brother Yuan, so she can say no to the actions of these criminals for the sake of her friends.

"You assaulted someone, and you haven't even offered the most basic apology!"

At this moment, Ruan Mei's words undoubtedly escalated the situation.

All eyes turned to her, but Ruan Mei wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, she took the initiative to stand in front of Sister Ling and the others, blocking them from view.

"You stinking bitch, it's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs."
