The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 116 Cut in Two

Cao Dapeng was filled with terror, almost unable to recognize the person before him.

This was no longer the Yang Zhen he remembered.

Moreover, he realized that Yang Zhen's words were not a threat.

Because the strength in Yang Zhen's hand was increasing.

Cao Dapeng's neck hurt more and more, his face flushed red, and even breathing became difficult.

His feet fluttered constantly, trying to beg for mercy, but he couldn't make a sound.

Looking at Yang Zhen, his eyes were indifferent as water.

It was as if what he was doing at the moment was as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

Cao Dapeng's eyes bulged outward, and he was about to die.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyin's voice suddenly came from behind Yang Zhen.

"Yang Zhen, what are you doing? Stop it! Are you really going to kill him?!"

Only then did Yang Zhen suddenly come back to his senses.

This was Earth, and murder was against the law.

He let go of his hand, and Cao Dapeng collapsed to the ground with a thud, gasping for fresh air.

Just then, there was a 'tearing' sound.

Yang Zhen shook his arm, tore off his sleeve, and threw it in front of Cao Dapeng.

"Cao Dapeng, from today onwards, Yang Zhen and I sever our brotherly ties! From now on, our favor and righteousness are cut off, and we owe each other nothing!"

Cao Dapeng gasped for breath, his emotions slowly calming down.

His fear of Yang Zhen gradually subsided.

He snorted coldly and glared at Yang Zhen.

"Yang Zhen, it's easy for you to say! What makes you think you can just cut ties with me?"

Yang Zhen frowned, but before he could ask a question,

Cao Dapeng had already begun to settle accounts.

"Your car accident wrecked my car, worth two hundred thousand!"

"The accident was your fault. The injured person is still in the hospital, and I've been paying their medical bills for you. It's already cost me no less than a million!"

"If you don't settle this one million two hundred thousand, what makes you think you can just cut ties with me?"

Cao Dapeng was full of confidence, his questioning resounding powerfully.

Lin Xiaoyin covered her face and sobbed, not knowing what to do.

But Yang Zhen was calm and composed, as steady as Mount Tai.

"One million two hundred thousand. Within a month, I, Yang Zhen, will pay it back in full. If you don't believe me, we can draw up an agreement today!"

Cao Dapeng was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Yang Zhen to dare acknowledge the debt.

He sneered, "Good, then let's draw up an agreement!"

Yang Zhen found a pen and paper and quickly drew up an agreement. The two signed and stamped it.

Cao Dapeng carefully put away the agreement and snorted coldly.

"Yang Zhen, if I don't receive one million two hundred thousand in a month, I'll see you in court!"

Cao Dapeng left.

Leaving only a mess behind.

Lin Xiaoyin was still crying, her soft sobs turning into muffled wails.

Yang Zhen knew he had let his wife down. His heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Xiaoyin, don't cry. I'm awake now, everything will be alright."

He wanted to hold his wife in his arms, but she pushed him away.

Yang Zhen was at a loss. Lin Xiaoyin was still crying.

Until her crying gradually subsided, Lin Xiaoyin shook her head and murmured to herself.

"It won't get better, it won't get better..."

Yang Zhen wanted to comfort her, but the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

"Yang Zhen, let's get a divorce."

Lin Xiaoyin's voice was soft.

But her tone was resolute.

Yang Zhen's pupils contracted, and his heart jolted.

"Xiaoyin, I'm sorry..."

Faced with his wife's request for a divorce, he only felt ashamed. He hadn't taken good care of this family.

Lin Xiaoyin shook her head and said.

"I can't take it anymore, Yang Zhen. To pay for your medical treatment, not only has our family's savings been emptied, but we also owe hundreds of thousands in medical bills."

"Now the mortgage hasn't been paid for three months, and I can't even afford Nannan's tuition..."

Nannan was their daughter.

Hearing this, Yang Zhen felt a sharp pain in his heart and was even more ashamed.

"Now you owe another one million two hundred thousand. I really don't know how to go on living like this."

"Yang Zhen, I'm sorry, let's get a divorce."

Lin Xiaoyin took a deep breath, but still couldn't stop the tears from sliding down the corners of her eyes.

Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said softly, "But I'm back, we still have hope."

"Hope?"

Lin Xiaoyin gave a wry smile. "Yang Zhen, I don't see any hope!"

Thinking of their years of marriage, Lin Xiaoyin didn't say anything more hurtful.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Yang Zhen's eyes.

How could he not know what Lin Xiaoyin didn't say?

From a realistic point of view, he was already middle-aged, had lost his job, and was burdened with millions in debt.

Even in the eyes of his loved ones, he was a complete waste, with no hope of turning his life around.

But was Yang Zhen really a waste?

Would the Celestial Dao Supreme, who had galloped across the Immortal Realm and dominated the Star River, be a waste?

"One month!"

Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and spat out these three words.

"Xiaoyin, you've suffered these days."

"If it were anyone else, they probably would have abandoned you the moment I had the car accident."

"I can understand your desire for a divorce, but I'm sorry, I can't accept it!"

Lin Xiaoyin frowned. "Yang Zhen, haven't you recognized reality yet? It's not up to you to accept or not anymore!"

Yang Zhen seemed not to have heard her words at all, looking at her with burning eyes.

"Xiaoyin, give me one month, give me one month and I will definitely pay off the debt!"

"Believe in me one more time, and I will be a good husband and a good father!"

"If I can't do it, then you can divorce me, and I won't say a word!"

Lin Xiaoyin looked at Yang Zhen with an incredulous expression.

"Pay off the debt in a month? Yang Zhen, are you kidding me?"

Yang Zhen grabbed Lin Xiaoyin's shoulders tightly, his eyes filled with determination.

"Xiaoyin, give me another chance, even if it's for Nannan's sake!"

"You don't want her to grow up without her father by her side, do you!"

Hearing Yang Zhen mention their daughter, Lin Xiaoyin's heart finally softened.

After a moment, she sighed deeply.

"Okay, I'll give you one more chance. If you don't do it in a month, then we'll get a divorce."

Yang Zhen's spirits lifted. Before he could rejoice, Lin Xiaoyin added another sentence.

"For this month, I will live with my parents with our daughter. You're on your own!"

Lin Xiaoyin didn't give Yang Zhen a chance to refuse. She packed up her and her daughter's things, and left home with her bags.

Yang Zhen was left alone at home again.

But Yang Zhen was not discouraged. Although he couldn't live with his wife and daughter for this month,

It was only a month, and it would pass quickly.

Yang Zhen was full of confidence in the future.

He was, after all, the dignified Celestial Dao Supreme.

A mere few million in debt was not worth mentioning.

Yang Zhen was full of ambition and motivation.

It was just that he didn't have a single penny on him right now.

Even if he wanted to set up a stall selling Dali Pills (powerful pills), he would need some capital.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

When the company gave him his 'graduation certificate' (termination notice), there was a severance compensation that they hadn't given him yet!

If he got that money back, wouldn't he have the capital?

Let's go, time to collect the debt!
