257: Zhao Hu attacks, Lin Jianjun's despair

Inside the empty rental house.

Lin Jianjun, reeking of faeces, his face grim, dialed the landlord's number.

Before he could sternly scold him and extract the whereabouts of Lin Hao and his mother, a gruff voice immediately came from the other end of the phone...

"(#`O') Hello?! Hmm... This phone number, good! You finally decided to show up!!!"

"You and your family have been playing disappear lately? Your phone was off? You don't want to pay the overdue rent, do you?"

"Are you trying to live for free? Haven't you heard of my name?!"

"And those furniture, you actually sold them without my permission???"

"A lot of those things were bought by me before I rented to you. You scoundrel, pay me back immediately!!!"

"You're at the rental house now, right? Wait there honestly, I'm coming with people right away! If you don't pay me back with interest today, see how I deal with you!!!"

"..."

Ah... What?!

Hearing that the landlord was about to arrive at the rental house, Lin Jianjun was completely stunned. How could he dare to stay there?!

If he, a penniless man, were caught, what then?!

Lin Jianjun, looking panicked, completely forgot about asking for Lin Hao and his mother's whereabouts. He immediately hung up the phone and stumbled out of the apartment building... Two and a half minutes later.

On the bustling street, Lin Jianjun looked dejected, wandering aimlessly.

Because of his scruffy beard, tattered clothes, and the smell of faeces, a two-meter radius around him seemed to become a vacuum.

Passersby all covered their mouths and noses, instinctively frowning and moving away, not daring to approach...

"What's with those expressions? What's with those disgusted looks???"

"You're not allowed to look at me like that! I was once the Executive of a hundred-billion-dollar corporation, and in my eyes, you bottom-feeders are trash, ants!!!"

"My son, Lin Xuan, is also the Chairman of Su Corporation, I am the Chairman's father, do you know that!!!"

"Lower your heads immediately, do you even deserve to look at me directly? A bunch of good-for-nothings, social outcasts! Losers who only earn a few thousand a month!!!"

"..."

Noticing the disgusted expressions of the passersby, Lin Jianjun's mental state instantly broke. With his self-esteem damaged, he yelled like a madman on the street.

Now, no one dared to approach him. They all dodged far away as if they had encountered a lunatic, letting Lin Jianjun be hysterical there.

Seeing that everyone was afraid of him, Lin Jianjun felt no shame, but rather pride. He put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly with satisfaction.

"You know to be afraid now, don't you? I'm someone you social outcasts can't afford to provoke, hahaha..."

Rumble—

Just then, the roar of a car engine sounded, and it finally stopped beside Lin Jianjun, giving him a big scare.

"Damn it, can you even drive? You motherf... Uh, you, you..."

Lin Jianjun cursed loudly and kicked the van several times.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Just as he was about to kick again, the car door was suddenly opened, revealing a fierce-looking face that was smirking menacingly at him.

"Old Lin, I've been looking for you so hard! Come on, get in the car! Let's have a chat, brother."

"Hu... Master Hu, hehe... What a coincidence! Cough, cough... I still have something to do, let's just forget it! Next time if there's a chance..."

Looking at Zhao Hu's fleshy face, Lin Jianjun almost peed himself on the spot. He knew how ruthless the other party was, so how could he willingly walk into the tiger's mouth?!

"Shut up! Get in the car!!!"

Zhao Hu didn't bother with pleasantries. He glared with wide eyes and roared, making Lin Jianjun tremble all over. He dared not say another word and timidly got into the van.

Rumble—

Soon, the car door closed, and the van slowly started and drove away under everyone's gaze...

"Old Lin! I sent you messages, why do you always read them and not reply? →_→"

In the back seat of the van.

Zhao Hu, with one hand stroking the black tiger tattooed on the back of his head and the other arm around Lin Jianjun's shoulder, asked with a sinister smile.

"Uh (ÒωÓױ)... Master Hu, listen to my sophistry... No, listen to my explanation! I, I... I've been too busy lately, so..."

Cold sweat beaded on Lin Jianjun's forehead, his eyes darting around frantically as he stammered for an excuse.

But how could Zhao Hu be so easily fooled?

Moreover, he had received a call from Lin Xuan and came with a mission, so how could he easily let Lin Jianjun go?!

Seeing Lin Jianjun still struggling in vain, Zhao Hu's eyes instantly turned sinister. He grabbed Lin Jianjun's neck and shoved his head into his crotch.

Then he lowered his head and threatened him viciously in his ear:

"Stop with the damn nonsense!!!"

"I'll just ask you one thing, when are you going to pay back the money you cheated from me? You haven't even paid me a single cent of interest yet?!"

"..."

Facing Zhao Hu's declaration of debt collection, Lin Jianjun was so scared he didn't even dare to breathe.

He owed several hundred million in usurious loans, and the interest alone was already an astronomical figure. Penniless, how could he possibly pay it back???

So even though his neck was being squeezed painfully, Lin Jianjun dared not resist at all. He could only timidly bury his head in Zhao Hu's crotch, not saying a word, trying to pretend he hadn't heard anything like burying his head in the sand...

"Are you deaf? Or mute? Playing dead, are we!"

"Hu... Master Hu, you, you... give me some more time, I will definitely raise the money to pay you back. You know, my son is a major shareholder of Su Corporation, he has plenty of money!"

"Tch~~ Don't think I don't know! Your son indeed has plenty of money, but what does that have to do with you?!"

"..."

Zhao Hu sneered repeatedly.

He really wanted to say that if it weren't for your son's hint, I wouldn't dare to touch you. It's precisely because of your son's intention that I came back to find you... However, Lin Jianjun was unaware of the reasons behind it. Overwhelmed with fear, the only way he could think of to save himself... was to pull out Lin Xuan to act as a tiger using a fox's prestige.

As the saying goes: 'Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face.'

With Lin Xuan's status and position as a guarantee, under normal circumstances, few people would dare to physically harm him.

"Master Hu, listen to me... I do have a small conflict with that unfilial son."

"But blood is thicker than water, isn't it?! No matter what, I am his biological father. Just based on that, he wouldn't possibly stand by and watch me die."

"..."
