The residential compound where he and Yang Tao lived was an exclusive villa community—quiet, secluded, and home to properties of immense value.
Li Yunfei had always cared deeply about his reputation; he could not bear the thought of his neighbors whispering about his downfall. He had not returned home for nearly a month, spending his time in hiding to evade creditors. Lately, however, one creditor had become particularly aggressive, pressing him to a point he could no longer handle. The sum in question wasn't exactly astronomical—only two million—but Li Yunfei’s accounts were currently bone-dry. Knowing this particular creditor was not a man to be trifled with, he was forced to turn to his wife, Yang Tao.
Li Yunfei was frantic, calling Yang Tao’s phone repeatedly, yet she never picked up. He paced his living room like a headless fly, his anxiety mounting with every step. Taking advantage of this interval while he couldn't reach her, Li Yunfei gritted his teeth and steeled himself. No matter how much she might scream at him or how vile her abuse might be, he had to make her cough up the money. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
