Chapter 1316: My Woman!
"Shen Hao!"
As soon as Brother Long spoke those words, Shen Ling's face darkened instantly.
She cast a cold, sharp gaze at Shen Hao and shouted.
"What's all the yelling about?!"
Already in a foul mood, Shen Hao exploded upon hearing Shen Ling's shout. His face looked grim, and he stared angrily at Shen Ling.
"What kind of dirty deal have you made?!"
Shen Ling's face turned ugly.
"Why are even our parents here?!"
"Heh, you still don't get it? I'll say it again!"
Shen Hao wanted to shout back, but the laughter from Brother Long's side poured over him like cold water, instantly sealing his lips. At this moment, Brother Long also looked at Shen Ling with a cold smile.
"Your brother has already sold you to me, which means you belong to me now!"
With Brother Long's confirmation, Shen Ling's face turned even uglier. She lifted her head and looked at Brother Long: "How much does my brother owe you? I'll give you the money!"
Shen Ling definitely didn't want to fall into the hands of a man like this. Besides, she had already been bought by Hao Jian. Although neither party would admit it, there was indeed such a connection. Only after Shen Ling had paid off the debt could it be completely dissolved.
Hao Jian was one thing; after all, he didn't have any malicious intent. But Brother Long was different. Seeing his lecherous look towards her made Shen Ling feel nauseated.
Moreover, she was not the same Shen Ling as before. Now she worked at Shu Ya Group, and this job was better than any she had before.
Considering her salary, it might not take long to pay off these debts, so she thought she could pay Brother Long back, and perhaps he would let her go.
However, now that she's here, can she leave so easily?
It's obviously impossible...
"Pay back?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Long grinned: "You're the interest. No matter how much money you pay, it's useless. Besides, your brother owes me a million, and the added interest is time. Understand time? That's something money can't measure!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ling's face became extremely ugly. This guy was spouting nonsense, but now he was the dominant party. If she dared to oppose, perhaps she wouldn't be standing here.
"What's your opinion?"
Suddenly, Shen Ling turned her gaze to Shen Hao and her parents. She wanted to get her answer from the responses of these three. If they stood by her, then perhaps she could save them.
After all, standing behind her was Hao Jian, the chairman of Shu Ya Group, recognized by Shu Ya herself.
With him, would she be afraid of these people? After all, Shu Ya Group was one of the world's top companies, with only a few rivals.
"Our opinion?"
Shen Hao sneered, pointing at Brother Long and said: "Of course, you're going to sleep with Brother Long. Don't worry, as long as you serve Brother Long well, you'll have whatever you want. This is an opportunity I'm giving you for a better life, so don't waste my goodwill!"
At the end, Shen Hao bit down heavily on the syllables of those words, as if warning Shen Ling not to act rashly.
As Brother Long's subordinate, Shen Hao knew well how terrifying Brother Long could be. Anyone who defied Brother Long faced a miserable end. He didn't wish for his life to be snuffed out here by Brother Long.
As long as he could survive, he'd pay any price, not to mention what he had to offer was just a woman he didn't care about anyway, Shen Ling.
He had never liked this woman from a young age, and it wouldn't surprise him at all if she died any day.
"Shen Ling, just listen to Brother Long and sleep with him, become his woman. Why all the talk?"
Shen Ling's father also looked at her, his face a bit ugly, seething with rage. Of course, this anger wasn't aimed at Brother Long, but at Shen Ling.
As his daughter, this woman was so unaware. She should do what she's told without question. Asking so much, was she trying to get them killed?!
"This is your opinion?"
Shen Ling looked at Shen Hao and her parents, her heart filled with despair. It seemed she had overestimated them; their minds remained unchanged, as did their attitude towards her.
"Damn girl, do what you're told! Why are you pretending?!"
Seeing Shen Ling like this seemed to trigger a certain angry point within Shen Hao, and he shouted at her in fury.
"Heh..."
Shen Ling's smile was full of bitterness. What kind of sins had she committed in past lives to deserve such a family!
"Sorry."
Raising her head, she looked at Brother Long, a bitter arc on her lips, and spoke words that made Brother Long's face turn ugly and infuriated Shen Hao and the others.
"I no longer belong to myself. Before you, Shen Hao had already sold me to someone else... So, after I pay you back the money, I will leave..."
Before Brother Long could react, a hand suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ling...
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of a slap rang out, a clear red imprint of five fingers appeared on Shen Ling's face, and before she could speak, a foot wearing slippers rushed towards her.
"Boom!"
The foot ruthlessly struck Shen Ling's lower abdomen, and in excruciating pain, Shen Ling flew backward towards the door!
"Stop!"
At this moment, Brother Long's shout finally sounded, frightening the perpetrator into a cold sweat, as Brother Long turned to see the culprit—Shen Hao: "Shen Hao, Shen Ling is already my woman. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to hit her like that?!"
"Brother... Brother Long..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hao shivered all over, regretting it immensely; it was just a rash act in anger, attacking Shen Ling without any thought.
After all, such incidents were common when they were together; whenever Shen Ling resisted, he would strike, having become an instinct over the years.
It might have been acceptable under normal circumstances, but now it was in the presence of Brother Long! Moreover, he had sold Shen Ling to Brother Long, meaning Shen Ling was Brother Long's woman. In other words, he, Shen Hao, had hit Brother Long's woman!
As Brother Long finished speaking, his group of underlings surrounded Shen Hao and his parents inside, including Brother Long himself.
"Alright, everyone back off."
Brother Long waved his hand and looked at Shen Hao with an indifferent tone: "Shen Hao, I'll forgive you this time, considering you're her brother, I'll let it slide this once. You should think about how to gather that one million for me! You have only seven days!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Watching the crowd gradually disperse, Shen Hao's parents quickly moved to his side, very nervous.
Seeing his parents, Shen Hao's face turned ugly again. These two people actually sold the house without telling him, and even more infuriating, they chose today to tell him!
Meaning, if not for today's situation, wouldn't they have kept it from him indefinitely if he hadn't asked?!
"Now, let's talk about our matter."
Shifting his gaze from Shen Hao and the others, he turned to Shen Ling, looking at her with a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ling, lying on the floor, her beautiful face slightly changed color, struggled to get up, with the red imprint of five fingers on her face, staring at Brother Long, her mind pondering how to escape.
Carefully glancing behind, through the transparent glass of the door, she noticed two people standing at the entrance...
"I think you better surrender; the two people at the door are my underlings, and there's only this one exit, so you might as well stop thinking about leaving."
Seemingly aware of Shen Ling's thoughts, Brother Long folded his arms, with a sense of a cat playing with a mouse: "You're better off compromising; I don't ask for you to be with me long, just need you to sleep with me a few nights, serve me well, and you can leave."
"What you sacrifice is just your dispensable body..."
Hearing this, Shen Ling's face showed an expression of despair, realizing there was no way out today. With her abilities, she couldn't handle anyone here, let alone two guards at the only exit.
"Is that so, then let me tell you, the woman in front of you is mine, not some dispensable one as you said."
Just as Brother Long felt he had the upper hand, a calm voice suddenly came from the entrance, his previously proud expression gradually turned grim.
Because the door was opened, and a man entered—a young man, and in his hand, he held two people.
These two people were bruised and battered. If not for their clothes, maybe Brother Long wouldn't recognize them; they were the guards he sent to watch the door!
"How is this possible?!"
Looking at this man, Brother Long's face carried an incredulous look; ten seconds ago, he saw the two guards perfectly fine, but the next moment, they were like this—who had such skill?!
"Hao Jian!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Ling's face lit up with joy, turning excitedly, just in time to meet Hao Jian's somewhat indifferent gaze, making her heart tremble.
Changed from her dim gaze, Hao Jian suddenly smiled, but upon seeing the clear red imprint on Shen Ling's face and the footprint on her white outfit at the lower abdomen, his face immediately darkened.
"Thud thud thud..."
Heavy footsteps stepped forward, casually throwing the two unconscious guards aside, he reached Shen Ling, touching the five-finger imprint on her cheek, his tone low and dangerous...
"Who, in my absence, dared to hit my woman without my permission?!"
