My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 85: Jia Dongxu's Broken Leg

Upon seeing Manager Li, whose head was wrapped in thick bandages, Jia Dongxu immediately pleaded, "Manager Li, please be magnanimous and give me a few more days. I will definitely raise the money."

Manager Li glanced at Jia Dongxu and said, "Do you know that every day you delay, the interest will snowball?"

When Jia Dongxu heard that the interest would compound again, he panicked and rushed forward, saying, "Manager Li, please, for the sake of the people I've helped you with before, please give me a discount. I really don't have that much money right now."

When Manager Li heard that there was no money, he was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Jia Dongxu's nose, and cursed, "Jia Dongxu, are you taking my words for granted? Let me tell you, three days is three days. If you can't come up with the money now, then you can have your family come and bail you out!"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu was startled. Just as he was about to plead a few more times, Manager Li gave his subordinates a wink.

The two men immediately grabbed Jia Dongxu, tied him up in no time, and then dragged him like a dead dog into a dark and damp woodshed.

Jia Dongxu was completely bound and unable to move; his wrists and ankles were painfully constricted by the rope.

He could only manage to twist his body and find a relatively comfortable spot to sit down among the piles of hay.

Jia Dongxu was thrown into the woodshed. Seeing that no one was around, he waited for a long time, but no one came to see him.

Jia Dongxu was both thirsty and tired, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

But just as Jia Dongxu was asleep, a figure suddenly and quietly opened the door to the woodshed.

The man held a black cloth and blindfolded Jia Dongxu, then gagged him with a rag, preventing him from making a sound.

This action immediately startled Jia Dongxu awake.

If Jia Dongxu could see this now, he would definitely be shocked. Yes, this person is Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei held a thick stick in his hand, looked at Jia Dongxu who was still writhing restlessly, and smashed it hard against Jia Dongxu's legs.

He kept doing it until he was certain that the two legs were beyond repair and completely broken, then he stopped.

Jia Dongxu couldn't see anything, he could only feel the excruciating pain of his leg bone shattering, and he was so frightened that he desperately shrank back.

With a rag stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't utter a single cry for help; he could only manage muffled "ooh-ooh-ooh" sounds as his body trembled like a leaf.

In fact, Zhang Lei had already made up his mind after learning that Yi Zhonghai had remained indifferent to Jia Dongxu's request for help.

Zhang Lei knew that the casino staff would definitely look for Jia Dongxu, so he had been using his perception abilities to observe Jia Dongxu's every move for the past few days. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would actually get the chance today.

Zhang Lei looked at Jia Dongxu, who had already fainted, and couldn't help but smile.

He crouched down, carefully swept away the footprints he had left on the ground, and patted the corner of his clothes, which was covered in dry grass, cleaned it thoroughly, and found out exactly where he had been.

After leaving the secluded courtyard where the casino was located, he dared not linger for even a moment, fearing that the people at the casino would discover Jia Dongxu's miserable state and kill him to cover it up. So he ran quickly toward the police station.

When Zhang Lei arrived near the police station, he first cautiously looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him.

He used his personal space ability to quietly place a letter of complaint in the center of the director's desk, making a commotion to attract attention.

After doing all this, Zhang Lei found a secluded corner not far from the police station entrance and waited quietly.

Sure enough, after Zhang Lei waited for five or six minutes, he saw a group of police officers rushing towards the casino.

Zhang Lei reported the incident because he was afraid Jia Dongxu would die.

Now that Zhang Lei has broken Jia Dongxu's leg, Jia Dongxu won't die from an accidental workplace injury in the workshop.

He wanted to see what the Jia family would become if Jia Dongxu didn't die.

How will Yi Zhonghai treat the Jia family when he sees that the people he's supporting in his old age won't be able to support him in his old age?

In doing so, he indirectly helped Sha Zhu, preventing him from waiting indefinitely to get married because of Qin Huairu's entanglement.

Zhang Lei was in a very good mood. He happily took out a chicken from his personal space and walked towards the courtyard.

Meanwhile, at the casino, the police quickly surrounded the location based on the address provided in the tip-off letter.

The moment the gate was kicked open, the police rushed in and took control of everyone in the casino.

When the people inside saw the police, they immediately panicked, but the entire courtyard was already surrounded, and none of them managed to escape.

When Jia Dongxu was discovered, it was already in the final stages.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's miserable state, the police naturally placed all the blame on the people at the casino.

When news of Jia Dongxu reached the courtyard, Zhang Lei was holding a bowl of thick chicken soup and sipping it.

Yan Fugui led the police to the Intermediate People's Court and pointed to the Jia family's room, saying, "That's Jia Dongxu's house."

Just as the police were about to open the door, they saw Jia Zhangshi, who was opening it, and said, "Hello, we are from Hongxing Police Station. We would like to ask who Jia Dongxu is to you?"

Hearing the police officer's question, Jia Zhangshi was startled. She thought Jia Dongxu had done something wrong and quickly said, "Officer, what happened to my son? He's such an honest boy!"

After listening to Jia Zhangshi's story, the police said, "Here's what happened. We found your son, Jia Dongxu, during the investigation of a casino case. However, his condition is not good, and he has been taken to the hospital. We're here to inform you."

Upon hearing the news that her son had been taken to the hospital, Jia Zhangshi was so frightened that her legs went weak. She asked in disbelief, "How is my son? How did he end up in a casino?"

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was so agitated she could barely stand, the police officer softened his tone and said, "We can't tell you the specifics right now. Please send someone to the hospital to take care of Jia Dongxu. We'll question him again once he wakes up."

After the police left, Jia Zhangshi was like a headless fly, muttering, "What am I going to do? My Dongxu!"

Upon hearing the news, Yi Zhonghai rushed over. After clarifying the situation, he looked at Jia Zhangshi, who was still crying, and said, "Jia Zhangshi, can you calm down? We need to go to the hospital to check on Dongxu's condition. What's the use of you crying here?"

Qin Huairu also chimed in, "Yes, Mom, let's go to the hospital to see Dongxu first."

Soon, the group rushed to the hospital.

When the group arrived at the hospital, they learned about Jia Dongxu and went straight to the emergency room.

After waiting in the hospital corridor for nearly an hour, the emergency room door finally opened. As soon as the doctor came out, Jia Zhangshi grabbed his arm and asked, "Doctor, how is my son?"

Seeing the patient's agitated family members, the doctor quickly stepped back and said, "Please calm down and relax."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhangshi, had Qin Huairu pull her over, and then said, "Jia Zhangshi, calm down and listen to what the doctor has to say."

Seeing someone step in to comfort him, the doctor continued, "Sigh, we've done our best, but both his legs are shattered. There's nothing more we can do."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Jia Zhangshi asked in bewilderment, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with my son?"

The doctor sighed and said in a deep voice, "Simply put, both of his legs are broken, and he will never be able to stand up again."

Upon hearing this news, Qin Huairu was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Jia Zhangshi shouted frantically, "Impossible! My son is perfectly fine! It must be you, you quack! You're the one who ruined my son's leg!"

She screamed and lunged at the doctor, who was so frightened that he backed away.

Yi Zhonghai, standing to the side, was completely blank-minded, his body limp as he leaned against the wall, his face filled with disbelief.
