The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 688 The Despicable Gambler

Wang Lan’s action had startled both Ling Feng and Li Fei’er, prompting them to quickly stand up and help her to her feet.

"Auntie, what are you doing? Please don’t do this!"

"Noble benefactors, you really are saviors to our family!" Wang Lan said with red eyes and tears welling up.

Ling Feng felt a bit uncomfortable inside and said with a wry smile, "I’m no noble person; actually, it’s all thanks to An Xue. She helped me earn this much money!"

As he said this, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, auntie, hasn’t Xue’s father come back yet?"

"He hasn’t been home for two days now, and I have no clue where he’s off fooling around. To tell you the truth, our family is in this state all because of that good-for-nothing who loves gambling and drinking!" Wang Lan said with teary eyes.

"I have a rough understanding of the family’s situation."

Ling Feng nodded and continued, "But luckily, you have such an obedient and sensible daughter!"

"Yes, if it weren’t for Xue, I would’ve lost the will to live long ago!"

Wang Lan became emotional, and knowing her daughter had earned a lot of money, she opened up her heart.

However, she actually didn’t believe Ling Feng’s words that An Xue had the ability!

In her eyes, being able to take out a million clearly indicated his interest in her daughter.

But seeing that Ling Feng was a talented individual who spoke kindly, having her daughter with him wouldn’t be too bad.

While they were talking, a man’s voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Do we have guests at home? Must be a big boss, right?"

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Lan’s face changed, and she hurriedly advised Ling Feng, "Young man, please don’t mention the million, if he hears about it, he will surely snatch it away for gambling!"

"Oh."

Ling Feng nodded noncommittally, knowing that An Jiaming had returned.

He thought to himself that the timing of his return was just right, as he was in for a surprise!

Just as he was thinking, An Jiaming entered the door cheerfully, "Who is the distinguished guest? That car parked at the door is..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his throat seemed to be seized by an invisible hand, and he instantly fell silent!

Ling Feng looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "You’re out now?"

"Is it you?"

An Jiaming was a bit bewildered, having thought the visitor was one of his daughter’s suitors, but the sight of this prominent figure made his legs tremble!

"That’s right, it’s me!"

Ling Feng nodded, "I came to take a look at your home environment and brought An Xue a million on the way!"

Wang Lan: "..."

An Xue: "..."

The mother and daughter were both stunned. They had just told him not to mention it, so why had he announced it the moment he opened his mouth?

They didn’t understand, but Li Fei’er knew what Ling Feng was up to. She smiled subtly and gave An Xue a knowing look, indicating that there was no need to worry, everything was under control with Uncle around. No worries!

An Jiaming’s eyes bulged as he pinched his own thigh, "How much did you say?"

"One million, Huaxia Currency!" Ling Feng repeated.

"Good heavens, I knew you were a big boss. Truly a noble person! It’s fortunate for our little Xue to marry you!"

An Jiaming’s face blossomed into a smile, as if he was eager to kneel and lick Ling Feng’s toes!

Ling Feng felt somewhat helpless at his words. He hadn’t said anything yet, and just because of the million, he was ready to sell off his own daughter?

Seeing An Xue’s flushed face, Ling Feng said with a bitter smile, "You’ve misunderstood; this isn’t a betrothal gift for An Xue. Actually, we’re just collaborators, it’s not what you think!"

"Ah?"

An Jiaming paused for a moment, then suddenly understood and said with a teasng smile, "I get it, I get it, no problem, you can take a subordinate role. After all, which man wouldn’t look for a few concubines after getting rich?"

This statement was a bit shameless. It was his own daughter he was talking about, and yet, he seemed ready to accept anything for money!

Ling Feng furrowed his brows and looked back at Li Fei’er: "Stay with auntie and Xue; I’ve got a few things to discuss with him."

"Got it!"

Li Fei’er nodded and glared fiercely at An Jiaming.

Ling Feng stood up, and without caring whether An Jiaming was willing or not, he reached out, clapped a hand on his shoulder, and dragged him into the courtyard.

"Mr. Ling, what do you want to say?" An Jiaming didn’t understand his intention and felt that Ling’s grip was a bit too strong, so he gritted his teeth and asked.

Ling Feng didn’t speak; he pulled him straight out the door, then opened the car door and threw him in!

An Jiaming had no strength to resist, almost rolling into the back seat, his head hitting the roof of the car, and he instantly cried out in pain.

Ling Feng got into the driver’s seat, looked back at him, and asked, "Tell me, how did the police deal with you?"

"They didn’t, didn’t do much, I didn’t break the law, they just held me for twenty-four hours and then released me..."

Seeing the unpleasant look in Ling Feng’s eyes, An Jiaming spoke with a bit of fear.

"But that doesn’t add up. If it was twenty-four hours, shouldn’t you have gone home last night?" Ling Feng asked.

"Uh, well, I, I went down to the casino in the southern part of town to have a look..."

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "That’s even more wrong. Wasn’t the casino already busted?"

"Yes, it was indeed busted, but a few of the lackeys had organized a game again, only a few close acquaintances were allowed to join!" An Jiaming said awkwardly.

"Oh? But weren’t you out of money? How did you join the game?"

Ling Feng asked curiously, puzzled.

"I borrowed two thousand..."

An Jiaming dared not withhold the truth, but as Ling Feng’s expression grew more and more ominous, his voice also grew fainter.

Ling Feng sneered to himself, thinking this man was truly beyond help!

"So, did you lose or win last night?" he continued to ask.

"Lost, I lost everything!"

An Jiaming hung his head, not daring to look up anymore.

"Not just lost, but lost everything, right?"

Ling Feng’s voice became icy, and murderous intent began to flicker in his eyes!

"..."

An Jiaming knew talking further might get him beaten, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

But Ling Feng already knew he had guessed right and continued to ask coldly, "You just cleared a gambling debt of a hundred thousand, then immediately borrowed two thousand, and after losing everything, you were planning to come home and force your wife and daughter for money, weren’t you?"

"..."

Ling Feng: "I’m asking you, when will you pay back the two thousand, and how much do you need to pay?"

An Jiaming stole a glance at him and said in a low voice, "Tonight, I have to pay back three thousand..."

"What if you can’t pay it back?" Ling Feng’s voice even trembled a bit.

"..."

An Jiaming, too scared to speak, hung his head in silence, his legs trembling violently.

"Speak!"

Seeing his lack of cooperation, Ling Feng barked loudly, almost scaring An Jiaming out of his wits!

Then he lifted his head, trembling, and said, "Big brother, boss, I was wrong, please stop asking, I promise you I’ll quit gambling, I’ll definitely change!"

"Change?"

Ling Feng sneered, "I think you’re just trying to buy time, waiting for me to leave, then take out that million and go gambling again, right?"

"I..."

An Jiaming had indeed been thinking that, and now that Ling Feng had exposed him, he had no idea what to say.

Seeing his reaction, Ling Feng scoffed, "Don’t worry, you don’t have a future anymore!"
