Chapter 96: Worse Than Pigs and Dogs!

Page 1/3

Liang Kuan was sweating profusely from the pain, his face pale, while Lin Yang had already gripped his other shoulder. Liang Kuan was nearly scared into losing control; if both his shoulders were crushed, he would be utterly useless.

“Lin Yang, I beg you, have mercy and spare me. I promise I won’t cause you any more trouble from now on.”

“Weren’t you just boasting about humiliating me, about beating me half to death? Now that I’ve merely crippled one of your arms, you can’t take it?” Lin Yang said coldly.

“However you want to treat me, I’ll repay you in kind—that’s fairness.”

“I was wrong! I’m sorry, I was wrong! I was reckless earlier and spoke too loudly.”

“Lin Yang, I’m kneeling to you—please treat me like a worthless nothing and let me go.”

Ignoring the agony from his broken left arm, Liang Kuan hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Yang, banging his head so hard it bled, not daring to stop.

Liang Kuan was terrified of death. He knew well the saying: as long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood. He had to survive if he wanted a chance at revenge.

Yu Ping and Liu Fuyu trembled at the sight, not daring to make a sound, barely daring to breathe.

Lin Yang lifted his foot and pressed it onto Liang Kuan’s head, forcing his entire face into the ground. A foul yellowish liquid seeped from Liang Kuan’s lower body.

Liang Kuan had wet himself in fear!

“Are you a dog? Peeing everywhere?”

Liu Fuyu was stunned that Liang Kuan had actually peed his pants right before Lin Yang.

This encounter was even worse and more humiliating than the beating Lin Yang gave him back in high school.

Yu Ping watched as her betrothed suffered such disgrace, utterly miserable. She wanted to protect him but lacked the courage.

“You’ve soiled my place. You owe me compensation. Here’s the deal: within three days, bring me two century-old ginseng roots, and I’ll let you off today.”

Lin Yang had no intention of killing Liang Kuan. Killing him was easy but pointless; it was better to seize the precious herbs.

“Fine! I’ll pay, I admit it!”

Liang Kuan mumbled in agreement.

Only then did Lin Yang remove his foot and say, “Get lost.”

Liang Kuan ignored Yu Ping and Liu Fuyu, scrambling away hastily.

“Brother Kuan, don’t go! What are we going to do?” Liu Fuyu called out anxiously.

Liang Kuan didn’t look back or respond, fearing delay. He climbed into the car, enduring excruciating pain, and drove straight to the hospital, disregarding his injured secretary.

Having just been discharged, Liang Kuan was back in the hospital again.

Lin Yang turned his gaze to Yu Ping and Liu Fuyu, who both looked panicked and instinctively took a step back.

“X-Xiao Yang, it was Liang Kuan who came looking for revenge and insisted we come watch.”

Yu Ping quickly shifted the blame.

“Is this ‘entertainment’ any good?” Lin Yang asked.

“N-No, not good.”

Yu Ping answered cautiously.

“Aunt Yu, the last time you schemed against me, I spared you out of past feelings and respect for Uncle Liu. I didn’t hold it against you. But I’ve said before: if you are unkind, I cannot be unjust.”

“But you must understand, my patience and tolerance have limits. What you’ve done today has exhausted my patience and the last bit of goodwill I had left for you.”

Lin Yang’s voice was cold and unyielding; he no longer showed mercy to Yu Ping and her daughter.

He knew well that no amount of tolerance would earn their true loyalty. Given the chance, they would still try to trample him.

“You... what do you want? Are you going to treat us like you did Liang Kuan, maiming us?”

Yu Ping did not want to lose limbs or be disabled.

“Weren’t you just mocking Uncle Shen as a cripple? I’m going to let you experience that feeling firsthand.”

Lin Yang said as he advanced toward Yu Ping and Liu Fuyu.

“No!”

Liu Fuyu screamed in terror, more afraid than her mother of losing arms or legs.

“Lin Yang, Uncle Shen was just a former driver for your family, but what is the relationship between our two families? I watched you grow up, held you, cooked for you, fed you!”

“Today, it’s our fault. But are you really going to be ruthless to us over a servant?”

Yu Ping had no choice but to play the sentimental card.

“Uncle Shen may have been a servant, with lower status than you, but he possesses something you do not. For that reason alone, you don’t deserve to compare yourselves to him.”

“What does he have? A servant—what could he possibly have?” Yu Ping said resentfully.

“A conscience!”

“He has a conscience. You don’t! You’re ungrateful wolves—selfish and shameless. You’ve lost even the most basic virtues of being human, yet you dare to mock others. How laughable!”

“A dog, given a few bones and a morsel to eat, knows to wag its tail in thanks. But you—so cold and shameless you’re worse than beasts—how dare you speak to me of past feelings? How dare you plead for mercy?”

Lin Yang’s words cut like knives, wounding Yu Ping and Liu Fuyu deeply, leaving them battered and humiliated.

“I never expected you to repay kindness, nor did I hate your ingratitude. But you repay kindness with enmity and wish me dead—then you cannot blame me for being ruthless.”

Lin Yang’s words left Yu Ping and Liu Fuyu speechless, unable to refute, utterly ashamed.

“Brother Lin Yang, I was wrong. Please don’t hurt me. If you spare me and my mother, I’ll restore our engagement and remain your fiancée.”

Liu Fuyu said in panic.

“Your fiancée?”

Lin Yang shook his head, sneering, “You’re not worthy.”

That simple sentence carried immense sting, dealing a crushing blow to Liu Fuyu’s pride.

She had hoped to endure and survive this ordeal first, never truly planning to be Lin Yang’s fiancée again. She never expected to be discarded like trash.

The blow left her deeply hurt and humiliated.

“Mom, what do we do? I don’t want to lose hands or feet—that would ruin my life.”

Liu Fuyu, knowing she could not resist, hid behind Yu Ping, filled with fear and regret.

Of course, her regret was not for being ungrateful, but for having arrogantly come along with Liang Kuan to show off—only to jump into the fire.

Yu Ping also knew that since Lin Yang had spoken so harshly, he was determined to act against them.

“Xiao Yang, all the blame is mine. You’re right—I am ungrateful, repay kindness with enmity, shortsighted, and shameless. I have wronged you. I will take responsibility for all these mistakes. Do whatever you want to me, but please spare Xiaoyu.”

“Direct all your anger at me—I will not complain.”

Yu Ping bit her lip and steeled herself, willing to sacrifice everything to save her daughter.

She knew well that even if she became disabled, it didn’t matter. As long as the Liu family remained standing, she could continue living a life of luxury and comfort.

But if Liu Fuyu were harmed, Liang Kuan would surely lose interest in her. Without the help of the Liang family, the Liu family would be kicked out of the Wanhao Chamber of Commerce. The Liu family would inevitably decline.

They would be left with nothing.

Yu Ping, as the financial manager, was extremely precise in weighing the pros and cons.
