**Chapter 156: The Betrayal**

Lin Feng's heart raced as he approached Wu Shaohua, his senses on high alert. The debt collector's smile seemed to grow wider with each step, and Lin Feng could sense the weight of their past meeting bearing down on him.

"Ah, Lin Feng," Wu Shaohua's voice dripped with sarcasm. "I've been waiting for you. You're just in time to collect on your debt."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. "You're talking about the life debt, aren't you?"

Wu Shaohua chuckled. "Of course, I am. And I'm not here to make small talk. I've come to collect the remaining balance."

Lin Feng's grip on his basketball tightened. "You're going to have to go through me to get it."

Wu Shaohua's smile never wavered. "Is that a threat, Lin Feng? Because I'm not sure you're in a position to make threats."

Lin Feng's anger boiled over, but he knew he had to keep his cool. He took a deep breath and focused on the debt collector's words.

"What do you want, Wu Shaohua?" he asked, his voice even.

"I want the remaining balance, Lin Feng. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get it. You know I'm not a man to be trifled with."

Lin Feng's mind raced as he weighed his options. He knew he couldn't afford to give in to Wu Shaohua's demands, but he also knew he couldn't take on the debt collector alone.

Just as he was about to make a decision, a commotion erupted at the edge of the courtyard. A group of students, led by the school's star player, had formed a circle around something on the ground.

Lin Feng's eyes widened as he took in the scene. It was Wu Shaohua's younger brother, Wang Ze, lying on the ground, his eyes glassy and unfocused.

"What have you done?" Lin Feng demanded, his anger and concern for Wang Ze's well-being boiling over.

Wu Shaohua's smile faltered for a moment, before he regained his composure.

"Ah, you've seen," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You see, Lin Feng, I've been keeping a little insurance policy. And it seems Wang Ze has become the pawn in our game."

Lin Feng's blood ran cold as he realized the true extent of Wu Shaohua's plans. He knew he had to act fast, but he was unsure what the consequences would be.

As the debt collector's eyes glinted with malice, Lin Feng knew he was walking into a trap. But he also knew he had no choice.

"Let him go," Lin Feng demanded, his voice firm.

Wu Shaohua chuckled. "Oh, Lin Feng. You really are a foolish boy. You think you can stop me?"

The debt collector's eyes seemed to bore into Lin Feng's soul, and Lin Feng knew he was in grave danger. But he refused to back down.

"I'll stop you, Wu Shaohua," he said, his voice cold and determined. "And I'll make sure you pay for what you've done."

As the debt collector's smile grew wider, Lin Feng knew he was in for the fight of his life. But he was ready to take on the challenge, no matter the cost.

And with that, the stage was set for the ultimate showdown between Lin Feng and Wu Shaohua. But would anyone emerge victorious, or would the consequences of their actions be too great to overcome? Only time would tell.
