Approaching closer, Xia Li was truly frightened, the wild man who was grabbing her had a sickle shaped scar on his face, extending all the way from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, she unconsciously gasped, and behind him were two big men with their arms crossed, looking ferocious, and looking at them, it looked like they were not to be trifled with.

scarred man looked towards the distance from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive. Right at this moment, the sound of a child crying came from not too far away.

"Boss Yang, I'm begging you, can you let us go? I really don't know where my man went."

"Mom, I want to get down. I'm scared, quickly let me down!"

Very quickly, the sound of crying slowly approached her and reached Xia Li's ears. It made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as though her heart was being pierced by needles.

"Boss, I caught him."

As if the scarred man was offering a treasure, he pushed Xia Li right in front of the owner he was talking about, and Xia Li sneaked a peek over.

A middle-aged man wearing silk clothing with a one-word beard was walking towards her with a smile while waving a fan in his hand. The two big men behind him were grabbing onto someone.

Tears rolled down her face and down her cheeks. She looked extremely haggard, her hair was in a mess, and her clothes were patched up. The woman in front of Xia Li was the same as the Lee's in his mind.

The other child who was being hugged by the sturdy man and was crying non-stop had a terrified look in his eyes. He looked like he was five or six years old, and that was his original younger brother, Xia Qing.

Xia Qing uneasily twisted his body, his throat was already hoarse from crying. The sight of these thin bones made Xia Li feel pain in his heart, but at the same time, he was angry.

Just as Xia Li was sizing up Lee's and Xia Qing, the scarred man beside him immediately bowed to greet the middle-aged man.

Xia Li glanced at the man who wore a fake smile on his face. She did not have this person's memories, but looking at the respect scarred man showed him, this person should be the boss of this group of people. She slightly frowned, her heart feeling more and more uneasy.

"You are Xia Manjiang's daughter, Xia Li, right?!"

The middle-aged man continued to fan himself as he asked with a smile. His eyes narrowed into a line.

Xia Li did not speak.

"Damn girl, our boss is asking you a question. Are you deaf?"

scarred man said as he raised his hand to punch Xia Li, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.

"Seventh Brother, you're too rude, scaring me."

"Xia Li, don't be afraid, Ol 'Seven is joking with you."

"You might not know me, but everyone in the town calls me Rich Man Yang, they call me the God of Fortune. I opened a casino in the town, and your dad lost 400 taels of silver in a row in my gambling house. When I urged him to pay his debt, he disappeared. As for me, I don't want to make things difficult for the three of you. As long as you tell me where your father went, I'll immediately get them to release you. "

While Rich Man Yang was speaking, the person behind him had already pulled Lee's along with Xia Qing towards the lakeside. Very clearly, Xia Li could not tell them where he was, so they were prepared to throw the two of them into the lakeside. Xia Li's gaze was closely following the two figures, his heart was beating even faster.

Her attitude immediately became obedient and begged Rich Man Yang.

"God of Fortune, I beg you to let my mother and my brother go. My father hasn't returned home for several days, and I really don't know where he went. I hate him to death right now. If it wasn't for him, how could our entire family have fallen to such a state?"

The more Xia Li spoke, the angrier he became, and there was a faint fire throbbing in his eyes.

Rich Man Yang's eyes flickered with a dim light, his lips twitched, and his fan moved even faster. In the end, he closed his fan and slapped it into his palm, then looked at the two big men by the pool side.

"You two, throw Lee's and Xia Qing down!"

"Wait!" God of Fortune, even if you really threw all three of us into Tan Shui to feed the fishes, you will still be the one to suffer. Other than having three more corpses, your debts will not be repaid.

"Besides, there was a human life. Aren't you afraid that I'll report this to the county magistrate?"

Xia Li was really scared by Rich Man Yang in front of him, and had no choice but to bring out the county magistrate.

"To tell you the truth, Xia Li, I have already reported to the county magistrate about your father's escape. He even gave me an idea and directly captured you all and sold you all to repay your debt. "If you dare resist and cause trouble, even if I kill a few people, I don't think the county magistrate would care too much about it."

Rich Man Yang's smile was especially brilliant, as he clearly didn't take Xia Li's threat seriously at all.

"…"

Xia Li finally understood that this Rich Man Yang and the county magistrate had already colluded! She had no other choice but to continue fighting with the God of Fortune in front of her.
