Upon hearing the bald boss demand repayment, Tang Jingyi's face changed slightly. She hesitantly said, "Boss Qin Tian just mentioned that he would repay it for me."
The bald boss angrily retorted, "Stop dreaming. How could someone like him, a big boss, repay your debt? They're all gone now. It's just you two left to pay. Ten thousand yuan, not a cent less, or the woman works as a 'chicken' and the man as a 'duck' until I get my money back."
Tang Jingyi hurriedly said, "Boss, this has nothing to do with Wang Yan. Please, give me more time. I will definitely repay the money."
The bald boss snorted coldly and said, "You're not fooling me today. That's ten thousand yuan. You haven't even repaid the initial two thousand. How will you repay the ten thousand? The only solution is to sell you, which could fetch ten thousand."
Tang Jingyi grew increasingly anxious, but to her, repaying debts was natural and justified. She really ought to repay the bald boss ten thousand yuan.
But earning only eighteen yuan an hour, when would she ever repay it?
At this moment, Wang Yan smirked coldly and said, "Woman works as a 'chicken,' man as a 'duck.' Your means are quite impressive. I wonder where you plan to send us."
The bald boss smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I have a place, Heaven and Earth. Have you heard of it? I'm thinking of sending you there."
"Heaven and Earth? What is that place?" Wang Yan asked.
Upon hearing these words, Tang Jingyi's face turned pale with shock. She exclaimed, "Wang Yan, we can't go there. Heaven and Earth is an entertainment venue, a literal pit of fire."
The bald boss laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, serves you right for not repaying the debt. Fortunately, there are places like Heaven and Earth. Just sending someone there guarantees money. Hahaha, but anyway, Tang Jingyi, since you'll be toyed with by others once there, why not let me have a taste first?"
As he spoke, the bald boss leered at Tang Jingyi, reaching his dirty palm towards her fair face.
Tang Jingyi retreated in fear, but the bald boss's hand moved closer. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
Just then, Wang Yan lifted his hand, flicked his middle finger, striking the bald boss on the wrist.
The bald boss cried out in pain, feeling half of his body go numb instantly, and his extended arm limply dropped down.
The bald boss looked at Wang Yan in astonishment, exclaiming, "What did you do to me?"
Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Nothing much, just hit your numb spot."
Upon hearing this, the bald boss indeed felt half his body numb, but it was slowly recovering.
At that moment, Wang Yan turned to Tang Jingyi and said, "Wait for me around the corner. I'll talk with him and find you soon."
Tang Jingyi quickly shook her head and said, "No, Wang Yan, are you planning to repay my debt at Heaven and Earth? No way. Even if I go, you can't."
As she spoke, she thought of the horrors of Heaven and Earth and realized she had reached a dead end. Now, the only option was to jump into that pit by herself.
She bit her lip, resolutely nodded at Wang Yan, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "I caused the mess at the hotel, so it's my duty to repay the debt. Besides, I'm not going to Heaven and Earth. I'm just going to talk to him. Remember that redhead earlier? I convinced him. I'm great at negotiating. He'll be won over, too."
Tang Jingyi stared at Wang Yan with her big eyes, shaking her head in disbelief.
Wang Yan patted Tang Jingyi's shoulder and said, "Go on, trust me."
Looking into Wang Yan's eyes, Tang Jingyi felt warmth and security from their depth, making her forget all her worries, as if she could entrust him with everything, even herself.
Involuntarily, Tang Jingyi nodded, showing gratitude in her eyes, and obediently turned to walk towards the corner.
Every few steps, Tang Jingyi would glance back, and Wang Yan kept watching her. Each time she turned, he waved, smiling, urging her to go quickly.
Finally, under Wang Yan's urging, Tang Jingyi disappeared around the corner.
Only then did Wang Yan turn back to face the bald boss.
Seeing Tang Jingyi leave, the bald boss had wanted to stop her. But after Wang Yan's flick, half his body was numb, and he couldn't move. By the time he regained mobility, Tang Jingyi was gone.
The bald boss was furious and shouted, "Why let her go? Now it's just you left. I need to sell you for ten thousand yuan, or else you'll have to sell blood to repay me."
At this point, Wang Yan's previously calm demeanor changed, his eyes emitting a cold glint as he looked at the bald boss.
The bald boss, seeing Wang Yan's gaze, was startled. Wang Yan's eyes were so different from before, making the bald boss shiver.
Yet, thinking of his loss, the bald boss gritted his teeth and said, "What are you staring at? Want me to gouge your eyes out?"
Wang Yan's lips curled slightly, saying, "I can pay you ten thousand yuan right now, but you must also repay what you owe me."
Hearing this, the bald boss dismissively said, "You can repay ten thousand yuan now? Hmph, if you could, you wouldn't be here working for me. Fine, pay up. If you can repay it, I'll return whatever I owe you."
Narrowing his eyes, Wang Yan coldly said, "What you owe me is your vile intentions toward Tang Jingyi, forcing a kind girl to desperation. That's your debt."
The bald boss snickered, waving his hand, "You're right. If you hadn't let Tang Jingyi go, I wouldn't have let her go either. She's worked for me so long; I've wanted to play with her for ages. Hmph, whoever plays, it's all the same, why let others benefit."
Hearing this, Wang Yan's face turned even colder, restraining his anger, saying, "What scum. Looks like you have to repay this debt."
The bald boss impatiently said, "Enough nonsense, hand over the ten thousand yuan. If you can't, everything else is worthless. Tonight, get ready to be a 'duck' at Heaven and Earth."
Wang Yan no longer paid attention to the bald boss but turned towards the back of the hotel and said, "Who's got cash? Bring it here for me to use."
The bald boss froze, quickly looking towards the back of the hotel.
Seeing Qin Tian and others slowly emerge from the darkness of the hotel.
