Chapter 19

ooking at the thick wad of cash in my hand, Li Jing said in surprise, 'Xiang Yunfeng, you're so rich... What business is your family in' After Li Jing finished speaking, her female classmate also curi...At 8:30 that evening, three hours before departure.

I knelt on the ground, too afraid to look into Wang Ba Tou's eyes.

I told him the truth about Li Jing's family's difficulties, without hiding anything.

The light bulbs inside were very low wattage, casting a dim, yellowish light. Wang held a cigarette clamped between his teeth and stared at me expressionlessly. The atmosphere between us was heavy with tension.

Gritting my teeth, I went all out.

I kowtowed heavily to Wang and said: "Wang, the Li family mother and daughter saved my life. Now they are in trouble. As Xiang Yunfeng, I know how to repay kindness. Tonight, going down into the pit, I don't know what will happen. I really want to help the two of them."

">

"I need to borrow 50,000 yuan from you!" I finished speaking and bowed.

After listening to me, Wang pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand and shook his head, his voice low. "Yunfeng, fifty thousand yuan is no small sum. That's nearly ten years' worth of savings for an ordinary family. I can lend it to you, but you have to promise me one condition."

"

"Please speak first."

“My eyes are serious.”

"This condition ... You don't need to know it yet. You just need to remember that you owe a debt. That's all."

“

You will return the favor to Wang Xiangseng later.

>

"Do you agree" Wang looked at me with bright eyes.

At that time, I just agreed. I was doing it for Li Jing.

Wang went back to his room, and about ten minutes later he came back carrying a bulging plastic bag.

Wang gently placed the plastic bag on the table.

"Yun Feng, here is fifty thousand, not a single cent less. Take it."

He pushed the bag over to her.

There was some weight to it, newspaper-wrapped money inside a black plastic bag, stacked layer upon layer.

Carefully lifting a corner of the newspaper, I saw so much money for the first time that my heart pounded. I quickly covered it up and didn't dare look any further.

Before going out, with his head and hands behind his back, he stood and said: "Yunfeng, remember the time, be back before twelve tonight."

">

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Besides, all of us who are involved in the underworld value fairness. I pay you money, and you owe me Wang Xiangseng a favor. Similarly, the girl you helped also owes you one.

“

"This trip down into the pit, I can't guarantee your safety. In this line of work, we have to be open-minded, brave, and carefree. Yunfeng, if you feel like it’s a loss,"

""

"He got on top of her."

"

Wang's tone was calm, but I couldn't calm my heart for a long time.

“I... should I listen to that But if I do, wouldn't I, Xiang Yunfeng, become a petty hooligan”

He said, "The rules on the surface are about coming in and going out, but...this isn't really a rule, is it"

I carried the black plastic bag full of money, my heart heavy with a mix of excitement, fear, exhilaration, and worry.

Scenes of Li Jing wearing a Donald Duck pajamas and bending over keep popping into my head, along with what she told me this afternoon....

"Bang, bang," I knocked directly on her door.

"Creak," the door opened a crack, and I saw half of Li Jing's face.

I held up the plastic bag in my hand, excitedly saying: "Li Jing, I brought the money! You don't have to be afraid of anyone coming to collect the debt!"

"Come on, let's go talk outside," Li Jing beamed. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the arch bridge.

The river flowed, the moon curved, under the Shun De Arch Bridge, stood a boy and a girl.

"Li Jing, look quickly, look at this fifty thousand yuan. You return this money to those people, and then you and your mother will be fine."

I passed the plastic bag to him.

By the moonlight, it opened the paper bag and took a look. As she looked at it, her eyes turned red.

Li Jing carried a bag and hugged me tightly.

"Xiang Yunfeng, thank you, you're so kind."

She held on to me tightly.

I could clearly feel the girl's warmth, her softness, her curves. quietly stepped back.As I reached out and touched, I felt a small hard object in my pocket. It was the Ga-u amulet Yao Yumen had given me before, saying it could ward off evil spirits.Because it was...
