Chapter 389: A Phone Call
Xing Xiaomin is even more bewildered now.
She doesn't understand why these young men are so persistent with a woman in her thirties like her.
Similarly, Xing Xiaomin is also very afraid.
After all, in front of her are six burly, strong men, and if they really wanted to attack her, they could tear her apart.
"Big brother, did I offend you somewhere?"
Xing Xiaomin instinctively took several steps back, leaning against the corner of the wall, trembling continuously.
"Not really."
"However, you have a good brother. If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have come all the way to find you."
"Considering your extraordinary demeanor, I can let you make a choice. Do we take turns, or do we do it all at once?"
Zhao Tienan touched his nose and said unhurriedly.
"My brother? Xing Zhaolin!"
Upon hearing this news, Xing Xiaomin immediately understood what was going on.
It must be that useless brother of hers who caused trouble again, resulting in the debt being pinned on her.
"Big brother, is it necessary?"
"What did my brother do to offend you? How about I give him a call, and he talks things over with you to clear up the misunderstanding? Why make things so tense?"
Xing Xiaomin secretly cursed in her heart, wishing she could go over and give her brother a slap right now.
"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll give you a chance."
Zhao Tienan nodded and then dialed a call to Xing Zhaolin.
"Zhao Tienan, what are you calling me for?"
"If you're looking to beg for mercy, it's not necessary. The conflict between us can't be resolved privately."
As soon as the call connected, Xing Zhaolin's arrogant and icy voice came from the other side.
It was as if he had already seized control, and Zhao Tienan absolutely had no chance to turn the tables.
"You're mistaken. I'm not interested in chatting with you much, but your sister misses you and wants to say a few words."
Zhao Tienan said expressionlessly. Although his voice wasn't loud, for Xing Zhaolin, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"What?"
"Zhao Tienan, you despicable man, how dare you touch my sister!"
"What the hell are you worth? Don't you understand? Family should not be involved in such affairs."
Xing Zhaolin was instantly furious and began to shout loudly.
"Go ahead!"
Zhao Tienan rubbed his ear and then called Xing Xiaomin.
He had no interest in dealing with such impotent rage and was too disinterested to argue with him.
Saying family should not be involved, saying despicable?
It was clearly Xing Zhaolin who first attacked the innocent Cao Lei. He's the one who was unreasonable from the start, so he can't blame others for not playing by the rules.
"You brat, what's the matter? They've already surrounded me, and if you don't think of something, they won't let me go today."
Xing Xiaomin said with a sob.
"Sis, don't worry. Zhao Tienan is just a small village doctor from our village. He doesn't have much power, he's just bluffing at most."
"Give me half an hour. I'll immediately spend money to find someone to get you out of his hands."
Xing Zhaolin clearly didn't want to give up so easily, trying to get his sister to hold on, thinking he still had some room to maneuver.

"Big brother, I..."
Xing Xiaomin holding the hung-up phone, stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.
She never imagined it would end up like this.
The younger brother she had doted on for half her life actually abandoned her.
Half an hour...
That time seems neither long nor short.
Usually, she couldn't even feel anything in half an hour. If these six burly men rushed at her now, half an hour would be more than enough to ruin her.
"Don't worry, I have all the time in the world, I can wait!"
"I'll give your brother half an hour. If he can really find a way to make this irrelevant village doctor back off, then I won't trouble you."
Zhao Tienan said leisurely, pouring himself a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.
"Whew..."
Xing Xiaomin let out a long breath, finally relaxing her tense heart.
She felt fortunate now; the man in front of her, who looked coolly roguish, was reasonable enough to give her half an hour.
Hopefully, her good brother won't screw up and quickly find someone to smooth things over...
"But to be clear, if after half an hour your brother hasn't figured out a way, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhao Tienan gently put down the teacup, a faint smile playing at his lips, adding a hint of elegance.
"Oh, okay..."
Xing Xiaomin instinctively nodded, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
The following period felt like an excruciating ordeal for Xing Xiaomin.
She leaned against the window, watching several luxury cars from the countryside drive by.
Among them were famous big shots, wealthy businessmen, and even important figures from relevant departments.
But unsurprisingly, they did nothing more than circle the entrance before driving away in defeat.
The man sitting on the restaurant steps guarding the door was just too immovable.
He was actually the local tyrant of the countryside, Boss Qiu!
This...
Xing Xiaomin's heart leaped to her throat.
She couldn't understand.
Who was this young man really, to have even the notorious Boss Qiu, whom everyone avoided, guarding the door for him?
How could a mere village doctor have such great influence?
This matter was definitely significant!
"Cough, cough, friendly reminder."
"Half an hour has passed. The people your brother contacted couldn't even get through the door, so he's clearly no good."
"Don't blame me for being ruthless; your brother is just too incompetent and useless."
Zhao Tienan slowly walked over and drew the curtain in front of Xing Xiaomin.
The next steps were self-explanatory.
"Big brother, let's talk this through, I..."
Xing Xiaomin's nerves tensed as she tried to say something, but was immediately gagged with a cloth by a burly man.
"Too late!"
"Your brother could have ensured your safe return home, but he was too short-sighted, always planning to bite me."
"I gave him a chance and waited half an hour. Now I've run out of patience. Either you strip yourself, or I tear your clothes off for you. What's it going to be?"
Zhao Tienan sniffed, unbuckling his belt with his tone ice-cold.
The other burly men weren't idle either, taking out phone stands to prepare to capture the upcoming delightful moments.
