He pulled Lin Kai and knelt before Lin Ya.
Lin Kai knelt reluctantly. He felt Lin Ya wasn't worthy! A woman who had been used and discarded by a man, she wasn't worthy of his kneeling! And she dared to disobey them, even less so!
"Xiao Kai grew up under your watchful eye. He's being wrongly accused and needs to pay money. If he doesn't, he'll go to jail. Can you really bear it? You're his aunt. If you had no money, it would be one thing, but you have money. It's just fifty thousand to help him, to help us. Are you really that heartless?" The uncle sobbed, tears streaming down his face.
The aunt also knelt. "Yes, I'm kneeling to you too. If I've done anything wrong before, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us! It's just fifty thousand, please help us!"
"Cousin, don't be so stingy. It's just fifty thousand. If I can't resolve this, I'll go to jail. If the villagers know you're standing by and watching, you'll lose face too, won't you?" Lin Kai said aggressively, his tone full of dissatisfaction. If he was going to kneel, and they still wouldn't give him fifty thousand, he'd beat them all to death today! Then he'd sell Xiao Jun. She was so pretty, she'd fetch a good price. Of the three of them, only Lin Jing could resist, but he wouldn't be a match for him. When it came to fighting, if he wasn't first, no one else would dare claim to be.
While Lin Kai was hatching his plans, the uncle and aunt were doing the same. They had to bring back money. If they couldn't bring back money, they'd bring back people. One of the two things had to happen.
Lin Ya didn't want to hear another word from them. Although they were kneeling, their words were full of threats. While she valued family ties, she wasn't foolish. She walked a few steps to the door and opened it.
"Please leave now, or I'll call the police," Lin Ya said coldly.
Lin Jing immediately took out his phone. "I heard that rapists are the most bullied in Yan Cheng's prison. They despise scumbags who bully women the most. You came from the countryside to Yan Cheng, perhaps you're on the run. We are law-abiding citizens and must do what is right."
The three were stunned. Lin Kai suddenly stood up and lunged for Lin Jing's phone. "Are you crazy! You're going to call the police? Lin Jing, don't think I won't hit you! From the moment we got here, you've been the one I've wanted to beat the most!" His face was ferocious, and his hand, clenched into a fist, was about to strike.
If that punch landed, it would likely knock out two teeth. However, just as his fist was about to fall, Zhan Xiaojun caught it. Zhan Xiaojun lifted her foot and kicked.
The kick astonished everyone in the living room. Lin Kai was tall and burly, yet he was sent flying several meters, right out the door! How could she be so accurate? Zhan Xiaojun looked at her foot and frowned. It wasn't as useful as her own body.
"Ah!"
"Xiao Kai!"
The couple immediately ran out to help the disoriented Lin Kai. Lin Jing was completely shocked, stammering, "Xiao Jun, when did you learn? Is that Sanda or Taekwondo?" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that his frail-looking niece could pack such a punch. He had seen it clearly; Lin Kai had intended to strike with lethal force just now.
"Xiao Jun, I'll fight you!" The aunt, seeing her son being beaten and wronged, her eyes red, charged forward.
Lin Ya recovered from her shock and stopped the aunt. "You attacked first. How much strength could Xiao Jun have? Stop making a scene, just leave!"
"No, I'll beat this dead girl Xiao Jun to death!" the aunt insisted.
"Xiao Jun, I'll beat you to death! How dare you hit me!" Lin Kai came to his senses, clutching his stomach and howling. The uncle also lunged forward. The family of three looked as if they were going to kill Zhan Xiaojun.
Seeing this, Lin Ya finally understood. She walked to the door and slammed it shut. Through the door, she said to the family of three outside, "From today on, we are no longer relatives! You have five minutes. If you are not gone in five minutes, I will immediately call the police."
Lin Jing looked at Zhan Xiaojun. "Xiao Jun, is that my sister?"
"One should deal with hateful people like this. Don't give them any chance to take advantage. They have no right to be so presumptuous," Zhan Xiaojun smiled and gave Lin Ya a thumbs-up.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Ya chuckled. "I just didn't want to argue with them too much because they are relatives. But today's events made me realize that I cherish family ties, but they don't."
The three outside were surprised that Lin Ya had shut the door so decisively. Amidst their shock, they began to pound on the door. "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
"You hit someone and now you want to let it go? Lin Ya, I'm telling you, you've offended our entire family!"
"Even if you kneel and beg us a hundred times, we will never forgive you! Hurry up and give us fifty thousand, or you will regret it!"
Zhan Xiaojun listened to the shouting outside, and with a gentle smile, she looked at Lin Ya and Lin Jing. "Mom, Uncle wants to talk to you. I'll go out and deal with them. Don't worry, I've practiced Sanda. They can't hurt me."
"They are being unreasonable. Xiao Jun, don't go. I'll call the police right now!" Lin Ya quickly stopped Zhan Xiaojun.
Zhan Xiaojun smiled. "The police will only be able to deter them at most. Don't worry, I know how to make them shut up forever."
Lin Jing recalled the scene of Zhan Xiaojun hitting Lin Kai just now and nodded. "Sister, let Xiao Jun handle them. Xiao Jun has learned Sanda, she'll be fine." Those people were not easy to deal with, being so unreasonable. He didn't know why, but he trusted that Xiao Jun could handle it. She could make them shut up and never bother them again.
Zhan Xiaojun opened the door and walked out. The three people who were banging on the door were stunned to see Zhan Xiaojun come out alone. They hadn't expected her to actually dare to come out.
"You..."
"Didn't you want me to come out? I'm out. It just so happens that I also want to have a good talk with you," Zhan Xiaojun said calmly, her gaze sweeping over the surveillance camera in the hallway.
"You want money, right? Lin Ya doesn't have it, but I do. Let's talk over there by the stairs," Zhan Xiaojun said, pointing to the stairwell next to the elevator.
The three's eyes lit up when they heard Zhan Xiaojun's words. They thought their threats had worked, and Zhan Xiaojun was afraid to offend them! Thinking of the fifty thousand they were about to get, all their anger vanished. They quickly followed her into the stairwell.
The stairwell was quiet. There were no surveillance cameras. After the three entered the stairwell, the aunt said to Zhan Xiaojun, "I'll give you my bank account number, and you can transfer the money directly. If you had been this reasonable earlier, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Don't worry, if you don't like the village chief's son now, when you return to the countryside, I'll find you someone else, I guarantee they'll be even better."
