Looking into Kou'er's clear, watery eyes, Cao Feng felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Love and guilt intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. "Kou'er, I... I owe so much debt." He uttered these words with difficulty, as if each word weighed a ton.

Upon hearing this, Kou'er's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and gently comforted her, "Feng'er, we'll face this together. There's always a way. Didn't you say you wanted to change your ways? I believe in you."

However, Cao Feng had already made up his mind. He knew that with his abilities, it would be almost impossible to pay off those debts in a short period of time.

The loan sharks' methods of debt collection were so cruel that he feared he might really be driven to despair. Thus, a selfish and cruel thought quietly took root in his mind—to use Kou'er to pay off the debt.

Once the idea took hold, it spread like wildfire, quickly taking over his entire mind. He began to weave various reasons and excuses in his head, trying to convince himself that this was just a temporary measure, for their future.

A few days later, on a cloudy evening, Cao Feng finally mustered up his courage and called Kou'er to his side. "Kou'er, there's something I want to discuss with you." His voice was low and heavy, revealing an ominous premonition.

Kou'er looked at him questioningly, but nodded gently. "Go ahead and tell me, Feng'er. Whatever it is, we can face it together."

Cao Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his inner struggle and pain, and slowly said, "Kou'er, I owe... too many debts. I... I've thought of a way to temporarily alleviate our predicament."

Upon hearing this, Kou'er frowned. "What method?" She sensed that things were not going well.

Cao Feng lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Kou'er's eyes. "I... I want you to go see those creditors, to... to pay off the debts yourself." He used almost all his strength to say these words.

Kou'er's face turned deathly pale. She stared at Cao Feng in disbelief, as if he were a complete stranger. "What did you say? You want me to... to pay off the debt?" Her voice trembled, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.

Cao Feng raised his head, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness. "Kou'er, I have no other choice."

"They won't let me go. What will you do if something really happens to me? What will happen to our family?" He tried to use these reasons to excuse himself.

However, Kou'er angrily shook off his hand, tears welling in her eyes. "Cao Feng! How could you say such a thing? I'm your wife! How could you push me into this mess? Didn't we agree to face difficulties together? How could you be so selfish!"

Cao Feng was speechless, stunned by Kou'er's words. He knew he was wrong, terribly wrong. But he had no way out and could only weakly plead, "Kou'er, I'm only thinking about our future! I just want us to get through this difficult time for now..."

"Enough!" Kou'er interrupted him, her eyes flashing with determination. "Cao Feng, you're wrong! True love isn't about sacrificing the other person to save yourself, but about facing everything together. If you truly love me, you should work with me, not push me into the abyss!"

Kou'er held Cao Feng's hand tightly, trying to convey her courage and determination to him. "Feng'er, you have to believe in us, believe that we can get through this. Remember, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, facing it with you."

However, the darkness within Cao Feng had already taken root, and he began to secretly plot an even more cruel plan.

On the surface, he promised Kou'er he would think it over, but behind her back, he secretly contacted those loan sharks, planning to kidnap Kou'er to pay off their debts without their knowledge.

He was fully aware of the danger and cruelty of the plan, but he was blinded by despair and fear, and only wanted to get out of this suffocating predicament as soon as possible.

He began to observe Kou'er's daily routine, looking for the most opportune moment to make his move.

A few days later, one morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth, Cao Feng quietly slipped out of the house before Kou'er woke up.

He arrived at the meeting place agreed upon by the loan sharks, following the pre-planned route.

Several menacing-looking men had already gathered there, and they immediately surrounded Cao Feng upon seeing him. "Cao Feng? You've finally arrived. Where's the money? Or the person?" the leader asked impatiently.

Cao Feng swallowed hard, trying to appear calm. "People... I've brought men." His voice trembled slightly.

"Where is he? Where is he?" The leader clearly didn't believe him and reached out to search him.

Cao Feng quickly brushed his hand away and explained, "She... she's still at home. I... I'll bring her here."

The leader sneered, "Do you think we're so easily fooled? Either you hand over the money now, or we'll follow the rules."

Cao Feng's heart tightened; he knew he had no way out. He took a deep breath, forcing back his fear and unease. "Give me some time. I will definitely bring them here. Please believe me."

The leader glanced at him, then exchanged a look with his accomplice, and finally nodded. "Alright, we'll give you one chance. But if you dare to play tricks..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was clear.

Cao Feng nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand. I will definitely bring the person here." After saying that, he turned around and quickly left the scene.

Back home, Kou'er was already awake and busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Cao Feng stood at the door watching her back as she walked away, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

He knew he was about to make an irreversible decision, but he had no other choice.

He quietly approached Kou'er from behind and, taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, suddenly subdued her.

Kou'er gasped in surprise, but was immediately held tightly by Cao Feng and unable to move. "Husband! What are you doing?! Let me go!" she cried out in terror.

Cao Feng closed his eyes, forcing back tears. "I'm sorry... Kou'er... I was only thinking about our future..." he murmured to himself.

Kou'er struggled desperately to break free from his grasp. "No! You can't do this! We're husband and wife! How could you do this to me?!" Her voice was filled with despair and anger.

But Cao Feng was no longer listening.

He picked up Kou'er and quickly left the house, rushing towards the meeting place agreed upon by the loan sharks.

He had only one thought in his mind—to get out of this suffocating predicament as soon as possible!
