C51 The Scumbag Left the Scene and Invited the Girl to Sit in His Sports Car
Bang!
Lee Mingshan hit the ground with a dull thud, his gold-rimmed glasses flying off in the process.
Clutching his face, he let out a wail of pain.
He hadn't anticipated Lin Dong's sudden strike and was caught off guard.
Lin Dong delivered a kick and said coldly, "Go over there and apologize to her!"
After being kicked, Lee Mingshan finally realized that Lin Dong was standing up for the girl.
He was scared of Lin Dong.
He didn't dare to fight back and obediently got to his feet.
The girl approached as well.
She had been terrified when she witnessed Lin Dong beating Lee Mingshan.
But her fear quickly turned to joy.
Lee Mingshan had been two-timing her and swindling money!
Had she not discovered messages about him renting a room with another woman on his phone today, she would still be in the dark, naively funding his so-called romance!
When she confronted Lee Mingshan, he turned on her and even struck her.
She was small and no match for Lee Mingshan, who had hit her so hard she'd crashed into the sports car door.
When Lin Dong exited the car, she thought he might demand compensation, but to her surprise, he was there to defend her honor!
A wave of immense gratitude flooded her heart.
Especially when Lin Dong commanded Lee Mingshan to apologize, her appreciation knew no bounds.
He was her hero!
"Say you're sorry," Lin Dong demanded, smacking the back of Lee Mingshan's head.
Lee Mingshan didn't dare retaliate. Though resentful, he looked at the girl and murmured, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I should never have left you..."
"That's right! You're despicable! I can't believe I ever fell for someone like you, who conned me out of my money and played me for a fool!"
The girl responded with fervor.
Lin Dong then asked, "How much money did he take from you?"
The girl hesitated, then looking up at Lin Dong, she said, "Over the past three years, I gave him my monthly salary of six thousand, keeping only a thousand for myself. It adds up to well over a hundred thousand."
Lin Dong nodded.
He turned to Lee Mingshan and instructed, "Give her one hundred and fifty thousand."
"Ah? $150,000 is so much money!"
Lee Mingshan's complexion turned a sickly green.
Sure, he had swindled the cash, but coughing it up was another story—that would really hurt!
This was something he simply couldn't stomach!
Lin Dong stepped forward and landed a solid punch on Lee Mingshan, who tumbled to the ground once more, clutching his face in agony.
Watching him, Lin Dong continued, "Hand over the money, or I'll keep hitting you and then call the cops to report your scam. Make your choice."
Lin Dong spoke evenly, yet his presence was domineering.
Lee Mingshan's face swelled from the blow, throbbing with pain.
Already intimidated by Lin Dong, the threat of further violence and a fraud charge sent him into a full-blown panic.
Moreover, if the fraud charge stuck, it would destroy his life!
After a moment's hesitation, he grimaced, picked up his gold-rimmed glasses, and reluctantly began the money transfer from his phone.
He had been living it up, spending the girl's money along with his own salary on himself and his new girlfriend.
Now, giving up this cash meant he'd be scraping by.
But with Lin Dong looming over him, the threat of police action hanging in the air, he had no choice but to comply.
It was just his bad luck.
Once the transaction was complete, the girl's bank account was credited with the full $150,000—roughly the total sum she'd paid Lee Mingshan over the years.
Her face lit up with sheer joy.
With this money, she could enjoy a comfortable life in Jiangyang City!
"Big brother, may I go now?" Lee Mingshan pleaded with Lin Dong, looking as though he'd had his heart ripped out.
Lin Dong gestured dismissively.
At that moment, the girl surged forward and delivered a resounding slap to Lee Mingshan.
Smack!
The sharp sound echoed as a bright red mark spread across Lee Mingshan's face, leaving him dazed.
The girl, with a look of vindication, declared loudly, "Consider that slap payback. From here on out, we go our separate ways—forever."
Lee Mingshan seethed with anger as he came to his senses.
However, Lin Dong was standing nearby.
With the sports car as a backdrop, Lee Mingshan was powerless against Lin Dong. He clenched his teeth in frustration several times before finally turning away in defeat, not daring to seek retaliation.
At that moment, the girl looked at Lin Dong with joy and said, "Thank you, you're my hero!"
Lin Dong dismissed the thanks with a wave of his hand, saying, "Don't mention it. I can't stand to see a man hit a woman, especially a lowlife. Where do you live? It's late; let me drive you home."
