At the last moment given by Zhang Qiu, he finally received news from Lu Jinhao that Lu Bin had returned. For two nights, Lu Jinhao had not slept, and despite bombarding his son with calls, he could not persuade him to come back to the country. In desperation, Lu Jinhao and his wife flew to the United States, pleading and threatening, even kneeling before their son, repeatedly emphasizing their guarantee of Lu Bin's safety before he finally agreed to return.
Zhang Qiu and Lu Bin met in the evening when Lu Jinhao invited Zhang Qiu to dinner, but Zhang Qiu flatly refused. It was evident that Lu Jinhao and his wife bore the marks of hardship; they must have suffered greatly. However, Zhang Qiu felt no sympathy for them. If he had not appeared in time, if Wang Hailong had not sensed the danger, he could hardly bear to think about how Jiang Xue would have been treated. The current situation of Lu Jinhao and his wife was a result of their own actions; they had failed to raise their child properly, and someone else would take on that responsibility.
Zhang Qiu looked at Lu Jinhao expressionlessly: "Tonight, hand over Lu Bin to me. I will return him to you tomorrow morning, and our grievances will be settled."
"Zhang Qiu, Brother Qiu, can you show some mercy and let my son go? I can give you a lot of money."
"You are wealthy, are you?" Zhang Qiu sneered as he stepped closer to Lu Jinhao. "You can take Lu Bin away if you want; let's see if you still have that much money tomorrow!"
"You... you..."
"What about me? You are a businessman; shouldn't a businessman value integrity?" Zhang Qiu glared at Lu Jinhao, anger rising within him as he jabbed a finger into Lu Jinhao's chest. "I will repeat this one last time: do you want your company or your son? Choose one; there is no third option!"
Lu Jinhao was both furious and terrified, trembling all over; he had never experienced such humiliation. The woman beside him grabbed his arm and cried out, "We don't want the company anymore; please, we just want our son!"
"Shut up!" Lu Jinhao shouted angrily as he pushed her away and resolutely said, "Zhang Qiu, you promised me you wouldn't harm my son's life."
"Of course I won't. First of all, I always keep my word. Secondly, I also abide by the law." Qiu Wan said as the brothers behind him applauded. Knowing that Zhang Qiu intended to deal with Lu Bin, Yang Yu and Gao Zhi brought over a dozen brothers to assist. The sight of so many people clapping together was quite intimidating. Zhang Qiu approached the trembling Lu Bin and coldly said, "Let's go, Master Lu."
"I won't go! I won't go!" At the last moment, Lu Bin finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to run. Yang Yu quickly caught up with him while several brothers stepped forward to restrain Lu Bin's hands behind his back and brought him before Zhang Qiu.
"Mom! Save me! Mom!"
Lu Bin was in tears; he realized that his father would not give up the company for him and now placed all his hope on his mother. The woman cried out as she rushed in front of Zhang Qiu, pleading, "Brother, I'm begging you! Please let my son go."
"If I let him go now, did he ever think about letting my girlfriend go back then?"
Zhang Qiu turned to leave; he could not stand such scenes. Yang Yu waved at the brothers and shouted, "Take him away!"
Amid the woman's futile cries, Lu Bin was pressed against the car, with guards on both sides. Zhang Qiu and Yang Yu mounted their motorcycles, and the sound of the woman's argument with Lu Jinhao was quickly drowned out by the roar of the engine. Zhang Qiu led the way, with his brothers driving closely behind in their cars. Zhang Qiu devised a brilliant plan for how to punish Lu Bin, ensuring that he would wish he were dead.
Zhang Qiu brought his brothers to the unfinished building where Jiang Xue had been held captive. Dozens of motorcycles parked neatly outside, and a wooden plank was set up on the steps, allowing cars to drive directly into the first floor.
"Boss!" The brothers who had been waiting there greeted Zhang Qiu. He nodded at them and embraced Jiang Xue, saying, "Tonight, I will help you take your revenge."
Jiang Xue and Lucia had been waiting there for some time. Knowing that Jiang Xue was soft-hearted, Zhang Qiu didn't want her to witness the scene of mother and son being separated, so he arranged for them to wait here first. The brothers dragged Lu Bin out of the car, and upon seeing him, Jiang Xue's eyes instantly ignited with fury as she threw her ice cream directly at Lu Bin's face.
Lu Bin struggled but was firmly held by six people. Jiang Xue stepped in front of him and slapped him hard, causing the flesh on his face to jiggle. Concerned that Jiang Xue might hurt her hand, Zhang Qiu retrieved a steel pipe from the trunk and handed it to her, saying, "Use this."
Jiang Xue tightly gripped the steel pipe as she approached Lu Bin. His eyes widened in terror as he watched her step closer. At that moment, regret filled Lu Bin; he wished he had never kidnapped Jiang Xue, but it was too late now. Jiang Xue raised the steel pipe high above her head while Lu Bin lowered his head and tightly shut his eyes, waiting for the moment of pain.
The pain did not come. Lu Bin slowly opened his eyes to see the steel pipe still suspended in mid-air, with Jiang Xue glaring at him angrily. Zhang Qiu hugged her from behind and softly asked in her ear, "What's wrong?"
"I... I can't bring myself to do it."
After slapping Lu Bin once, much of Jiang Xue's anger dissipated. Although she was known as Sister Zhang in the underworld and had stabbed someone before, deep down she remained a kind-hearted girl.
Zhang Qiu took the steel pipe from Jiang Xue's hands, covered her eyes with his hand, and then struck Lu Bin on the head with it. He let out a terrible scream as blood trickled down his forehead.
"Oh my God, what are you doing!" Lucia screamed from the side.
"Make sure to take good care of him," Zhang Qiu instructed before taking Jiang Xue's hand and walking over to Lucia. "Otherwise, I'll send someone to take you home first."
"Zhang Qiu, you can't treat someone like this," Lucia emphasized angrily.
"This person once intended to deal with Xue'er in a much more brutal way. What I am doing to him is far more merciful than what he originally planned."
Lucia saw Zhang Qiu for the first time in this state, his eyes red as if he had lost his mind. Lucia was unclear about the grievances between Zhang Qiu and another person, but from Zhang Qiu's determined attitude and Jiang Xue's reaction, there was likely a significant story behind it. Unable to bear looking at Lu Bin, who was curled up in the corner being kicked and beaten, she turned her head away, but she could still hear the cries of pain.
"Zhang Qiu, why don't we just let it go?" Jiang Xue suddenly said.
"Stop!"
Zhang Qiu shouted loudly, causing the Brothers surrounding Lu Bin to scatter. Lu Bin rolled on the ground, crying out in pain, his body covered in blood and dirt. The once arrogant Lu Bin was now in such a pitiful state; even when he fell into the toilet before, he had never felt this helpless.
"Xue'er, being merciful to bad people is a crime against good people. I won't take his life, but I want him to remember firmly that some people are not to be messed with, especially my woman."
Zhang Qiu turned and walked towards Lu Bin, followed closely by Yang Yu and Gao Zhi. Jiang Xue anxiously chased after them, fearing that Zhang Qiu might impulsively kill him. Zhao Pingchuan noticed the emotional Lucia and approached her, trying to communicate with her in English.
Zhang Qiu stepped on Lu Bin's back and shouted, "Do you know your mistake?"
"I know my mistake! I know my mistake! Don't hit me! Please don't hit me..."
"Don't worry, I won't hit you anymore." Zhang Qiu smirked wickedly and waved his hand, shouting, "Bring over the guy who greets Young Master Lu."
"Got it!"
Gao Zhi shouted and personally carried a large ice-cold refrigerator over. Four of his brothers stepped forward to lift Lu Bin's hefty body. Two of them forced a winter down jacket onto Lu Bin and then used thick ropes mixed with thin strings to bind his thumbs together. Afterward, everyone worked together to hoist Lu Bin up to the beam.
Lu Bin's body, weighing over two hundred pounds, hung in mid-air, relying solely on his thumbs for support. The pain made him scream louder with each passing moment. It was easy to imagine the torment he was enduring.
Worried that Lu Bin's screams would attract passersby to call the police, Yang Yu found a cloth from the driver's seat and stuffed it into Lu Bin's mouth. Although Lu Bin continued to suffer in pain, no sound came out anymore. Yang Yu grinned as he grabbed Lu Bin by the collar and shouted, "How does it feel to be hanging like this?"
Lu Bin shook his head repeatedly, unable to make any sound other than muffled whimpers.
Yang Yu asked again, "Are you hot?"
Lu Bin nodded repeatedly, his chubby face turning bright red.
Zhang Qiu watched coldly from the side and, seeing Lu Bin shake his head and then nod, sneered, "You're uncomfortable, right? Then let's give you something more comfortable."
Zhang Qiu exchanged a glance with Gao Zhi, who understood the hint and cheerfully opened the car fridge, revealing a large block of ice emitting waves of cold air. The four brothers stepped forward to restrain Lu Bin, preventing him from moving. Gao Zhi placed the car fridge directly beneath Lu Bin and ordered the Brothers to lower the height of the ropes, ensuring that Lu Bin's feet could touch the ice.
Lu Bin felt as if his thumbs no longer belonged to him; he was drenched in sweat and on the verge of fainting. Suddenly, he felt a rush of cold beneath his feet, which alleviated some of the pain in his hands. However, just as he began to feel comfortable for less than a minute, he was struck by a bone-chilling cold that forced him to shift his feet away. Yet, this only returned him to his previous state. No matter what position Lu Bin took, he could not find relief; shifting positions only brought him more pain.
While Lu Bin struggled in agony in the unfinished building, Gao Zhi had already set up a barbecue grill outside with others. The red-hot coals were burning, and skewers of meat and chicken wings coated in peanut oil sizzled and crackled, filling the air with an enticing aroma. Zhang Qiu called everyone over for the barbecue. As they passed by Lucia, she remarked, "I still don't agree with your actions, but I can understand."
"Thank you," Zhang Qiu replied with a slight smile.
Jiang Xue linked arms with both Zhang Qiu and Lucia as they walked outside.
In the cool night breeze, everyone enjoyed chilled beer and barbecued food, ignoring Lu Bin's painful struggles inside the unfinished building. In the darkness, a light shone from afar, slowly moving forward until it finally stopped in front of everyone.
