C157 Qiao Soong Called for Someone Threatening to Make Lin Dong Look Bad

"Cousin, I'm on the verge of a breakdown. I just can't shake him off!"

Xia Qinghee was hugging her head, sitting on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

Nearby, strands of hair were scattered on the ground, remnants of when Qiao Soong had dragged her.

Lin Dong surveyed the scene, noting that the bedroom was in disarray, while the rest of the place was tidy.

It was clear that Xia Qinghee had been hiding in the bedroom before Qiao Soong found and dragged her out.

There were no obvious signs of assault on Xia Qinghee.

Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she hadn't been beaten, that was the main thing.

He gently patted Xia Qinghee's shoulder and reassured her, "Cousin, everything's okay now. I'll take care of this."

Xia Qinghee looked up immediately, hope shining in her eyes.

"Really?" she asked Lin Dong.

"Just sit on the sofa for now," Lin Dong instructed.

With her emotions soothed, Xia Qinghee walked over and sat down on the sofa.

Lin Dong then turned to face Qiao Soong.

Qiao Soong was rubbing his head, trying to stand.

He cast a fearful glance at Lin Dong, then, with clenched teeth, accused, "Fine, you've got a protector! I get it now, you've got the nerve to defy me!"

"What are you talking about, Qiao Soong?" Xia Qinghee protested through her tears.

Lin Dong remained silent, his gaze icy as he fixed it on Qiao Soong.

Unperturbed, Qiao Soong wiped the blood from his nose, leaned against the wall, and pointed at Lin Dong, threatening, "You're done for! I've got connections. Just you wait, I've already texted my guys. They'll be here soon!

My brother's a tough guy!

When he gets here, he's going to break one of your arms first!

Then, he'll make you kneel and crawl between my legs! Hahahaha!"

Qiao Soong's face was bruised, but he laughed maniacally, embodying the very picture of a drunkard.

Xia Qinghee stood up, her voice tinged with alarm as she addressed Qiao Soong, "Qiao Soong, Lin Dong is my cousin. He has nothing to do with our issues! Please, don't harm him!"

Qiao Soong immediately scoffed, "If he dares to lay a hand on me, he'd better be ready to face the consequences! And as for you, cousin! If you're not making money for me and still avoiding me, just wait—I'll teach you a lesson and send you off to be a laughingstock!"

"You!" Xia Qinghee was both furious and frantic. Her eyes were wide as she glared at Qiao Soong, at a loss for words.

Qiao Soong was nothing but a thug. He was a heavy drinker and a compulsive gambler—capable of anything!

Xia Qinghee turned to Lin Dong and urgently pushed him, "Cousin, you need to get out of here. I shouldn't have called you over. Please, hurry!"

Lin Dong placed his hand on her shoulder, calming her, "Cousin, sit down first."

Once Xia Qinghee was seated, Lin Dong casually slipped his hand into his pocket and fixed his gaze on Qiao Soong.

Feeling Lin Dong's stare, Qiao Soong's heart skipped a beat. Clenching his teeth, he spat out, "What are you staring at! Kneel down and beg me now, and maybe I'll go easy on you later!"

Lin Dong remained silent, steadily approaching him.

Qiao Soong involuntarily backed up until he hit the wall, trapped with no escape. The memory of Lin Dong beating him flashed through his mind, and his eyes twitched in fear as he stammered, "Don't—don't come any closer! Or you'll face serious consequences! I'll have someone beat you to death... Ah!!"

A scream tore through the air as Qiao Soong's body suddenly shot upwards. In the midst of his bluster, Lin Dong had swiftly turned and delivered a side kick to his chin, lifting him and pinning him against the wall.

Qiao Soong's neck was trapped, and he struggled violently but couldn't break free. His eyes bulged as he let out a silent scream.

With Lin Dong's foot pressing against his throat, he felt the onset of suffocation. Without oxygen, he knew death was certain.

In utter despair, Qiao Soong looked at Lin Dong. The icy glare in Lin Dong's eyes filled him with unspeakable terror. He could see in Lin Dong's gaze the intent to kill.
