In order to raise money, I made a special trip back to Hua'an. I found a good reason to ask my mother for 2,000 yuan, and my grandfather gave me 2,400 yuan. Watching my grandfather trembling and counting the 2,400 yuan to me one by one, I felt guilty and uneasy. I know that this is my grandfather's money for pension, sickness, and disaster prevention. Maybe it's his old man's life savings.

However, as soon as my grandfather heard that I had a great use, he did not hesitate to give it to me.

Suddenly, I felt the weight of courage on my shoulders. A thought arose in my heart, hoping that my grandfather, who was nearly eighty years old, would live to be ninety-one hundred, so that I would have the opportunity to be filial to him and repay him.

This time I went back to Hua'an, and I took a trip to Xiong Yanfei's house.

The villa, which once surprised me immensely, was a bit deserted because of the owner's negligence, even in the early summer when everything was alive.

This also shows that Xiong Yanfei's parents have not yet been able to come out of the shadow of her death.

I stayed in the villa for a noon, drank a beer or two with Xiong Yanfei's father, and said many words of comfort to them. Both of them were less than fifty years old, but they both had gray hair, and they were more than ten years older than their actual age.

It is sad to bring up the old things, but because of my arrival, Xiong Yanfei's parents are still happy and happy, so when they left, the two of them sent me to the gate of the hospital together, and repeatedly told me to visit them when I was free.

Of course I knew, and if they could, they would want to treat me like their own son. And I also understand that by accompanying them as much as possible, Xiong Yanfei will also be grateful in the heavenly spirit. That's why Xiong Yanfei asked her parents to recognize me as her godson temporarily.

When I returned to the college, I deposited 4,000 yuan into Ding Ying's 16,000 fold to make up 20,000 yuan.

I insisted on writing an IOU to Ding Ying, although Ding Ying repeatedly emphasized that "there is no need to be so troublesome". This is not child's play. This is a responsibility and a responsibility.

So, when I wrote the IOU, the hand holding the pen still trembled.

Another point is that we did all this without communicating with Chu Huoyu.

In this decision, Ding Ying and I are surprisingly compatible. It's not just to bring a surprise to Chu Huoyu - a surprise that she will never forget, but this style of acting is also what Ding Ying particularly likes, but what we are most worried about is that Chu Huoyu disagrees. Our approach, Chu Huoyu can find ten reasons to disagree, because she is not a person who likes to drag others down.

Therefore, it is completely my responsibility to write this IOU.

Because of the importance of the matter, before deciding to negotiate with Brother Wang, we imagined a variety of possibilities, such as Brother Wang's temporary change of fortune or price increase, and we even took measures to prevent Brother Wang's fraud - that is, let Brother Wang bring his ID card, write a receipt, sign the receipt, press his fingerprint, etc. We even bought the ink in advance.

But I still feel uneasy, always uneasy. It may be the first time in my life to do such a major thing, and I feel very stressed.

In comparison, Ding Ying is calm. Ding Ying's words reassured me a lot: No matter how it doesn't work, Brother Wang's leisure house is still there, what are you afraid of? If you can escape, the monk can't escape the temple.

The day of negotiation came, and in order to add some confidence to myself, I called Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen. I want them to be a witness.

Speaking of Cao Shuigen, I have to add one thing, that is, the emotional entanglement between him and Wu Lianzi has basically been settled.

After Wu Lianzi told me that Cao Shuigen was one of her pawns, they didn't have much contact with each other. Cao Shuigen went to the Normal School to see Wu Lianzi several times, Wu Lianzi found a reason to avoid it, and Wu Lianzi also came to the academy to see me, but he didn't contact Cao Shuigen as before.

Wu Lianzi should have listened to my advice: since you have no true feelings for Cao Shuigen, don't hurt him.

Cao Shuigen has been in the doldrums for a while, and has sought death and life many times, but it is just talk. Men who have already experienced emotional trauma will have a much shorter recovery period.

People's ability to repair is very strong, whether it is the repair of physical functions or the repair of emotional entanglements.

Cao Shuigen has witnessed this with practical actions.

Having said that, the place where we negotiated with Brother Wang was still Hemei Teahouse, and the time was still on the weekend, but not in the evening, but at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday. For this reason, Xu Zhengping also adjusted his weekend tutoring time. Of course, the timing of his "relaxation" may have been adjusted as a result.

Brother Wang brought three people over this time, and all of them looked like they were all mixed society. Dragons and phoenixes are carved on their arms, which adds to the deterrent effect. However, the young man who came last time didn't come.

Chu Huoyu didn't come either.

Could it be that Brother Wang, like us, has not talked to Chu Huoyu about "terminating the contract" to this day?

The answer is yes. If Chu Huoyu knew that we were working hard for her to "terminate the contract", she would have to contact me anyway.

Could it be that Brother Wang really has ulterior thoughts?

It shouldn't be possible. Whether Brother Wang has ulterior not, there is no logical relationship between him and whether he tells Chu Huoyu or not.

As long as Brother Wang takes our money, writes a receipt, presses his handprint, and returns the agreement he signed with Chu Huoyu, we can go and inform Chu Huoyu to leave. I don't know what it has to do with the fire jade.

As long as I think about how the Fire Jade will be pleasantly surprised if everything goes well, I am extremely excited. Just for this surprise, how much we do, how much we suffer and tired, it's worth it.

The negotiation went surprisingly well. Brother Wang wrote the receipt, signed it, pressed his fingerprint, and attached a copy of his ID card on the reverse side of the receipt, and after I went to a nearby bank to get 20,000 yuan and handed it to him, he gave me the receipt and the agreement that Chu Huoyu had signed with him.

My heart fluctuated, I couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart, and said thank you several times in a row.

Ding Ying, Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen are all happy for me.

"Brother Wang, I'll pick up my sister now. Thank you for taking care of her for two years. "I'm in a hurry to leave. No more polite words. I imagined how gorgeous it must have been the moment Chu Huoyu's brows opened, and happiness must have shrouded her like an aura.

"What to pick up? Who are you picking up? Brother Wang took a deep breath of his cigarette, holding Erlang's legs and still shaking his feet with great grace.

"Take the fire jade."

"I said, are you mistaken? You give me 20,000 dollars and you want to pick people up, what a fucking joke. 20,000 dollars is just a reduction of two years of service. Let's pick it up again in four years! Brother Wang grabbed the money in his hand and shook it contemptuously.

"What?!" I jumped three feet high.

"Brother Wang, how can you go back on your word?!" Ding Ying shouted.

Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen were also surprised. We didn't expect this to happen.

"What do you mean by going back on your word? I said very clearly, 10,000 a year, you only give 20,000, of course you can only reduce it by two years, or you take another 40,000? The corners of Brother Wang's mouth curled to the side.

I didn't say a word, and threw myself on Brother Wang. Needless to say, I have to get the money back first.

I reacted quickly, and the people around Brother Wang reacted faster. One of them walked in front of Brother Wang, and one of them kicked at me. I was kicked out and hit the ground.

Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen hurriedly came up to help me.

"Money, our money." I endured the pain and said.

Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen looked at me with sympathetic eyes, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

"I said you guys were too rampant. Do you not have the law of kings in your eyes? Ding Ying was indignant.

"Wang Fa?" Brother Wang threw the cigarette butt on the ground, "You ask our brothers what is the royal law?" ”

"Our brother Wang is the king!" The three thugs around Brother Wang spoke in unison.

"Do you hear that? Do you hear me?! Brother Wang had a look of disdain.

"You have already returned the agreement to us, I told Chu Huoyu to leave, what else can you do?" Ding Ying's face turned red with anger, but she said it extremely weakly.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha." Brother Wang laughed wildly.

The thugs laughed maniacally. "Go and scream! Do you think Chu Huoyu dares to go with you? One of them shouted at a shrill voice.

I broke free of Xu Zhengping's hands that they were holding me, rushed forward with a brisk step, and pounced on Brother Wang who was standing in the middle again.

Brother Wang seemed to have been on guard, he didn't dodge or let go, he raised his foot and kicked directly at my face, and I was hit hard in the chest. I took three steps back and sat on the ground. I felt something rushing up.

I know that "the tide is turning" and that my resistance is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It's impossible to get the money back when it's in their hands. If you want to blame us, you can blame us for being too simple. I believe in Brother Wang, this bastard. During the negotiation, Brother Wang's deformed face flashed in front of me again before he walked out of the box, maybe he had thought about dealing with us like this at that moment.

Even if they rob openly, we can't help them. It is impossible to take them back, although they are equal to us, but their strength is far greater than ours; It is impossible to call the police, that would be detrimental to the storage of fire jade. It can't be "redeemed", but it hurts others.

So I forced myself to calm down and calm down. The so-called, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and they will find a way when they go back.

But one thing is for sure, I'm not going to rest on my laurels.

Xu Zhengping helped me up. Ding Ying came to help me, "What should I do again?" ”

I clutched my chest, "Forget it, Ding Ying." ”

"That's it?" Ding Ying couldn't believe her ears, "Can you just forget it?" 20,000 dollars! ”

Ding Ying's eyes were very complicated. I don't understand, I am surprised, and of course, I am helpless.

"Those who know the times are Junjie," Brother Wang seems to be a rough person, perhaps he has rich social experience and is well-informed, and he can also say such "elegant" words, "20,000 yuan to buy two years of freedom is already very cost-effective." ”

I'm noncommittal.

"Gone!" Brother Wang stood up from his position and snapped his fingers.

"You ......" Ding Ying nearly collapsed.

"Bye-bye, little beauty." A gangster said.

We watched Brother Wang and the four of them walk out of the box with their martial arts.

"How so?" Xu Zhengping said.

"Yes, Jin Dae, what should I do again? Just let them take the money away? 20,000 yuan! Cao Shuigen said.

I looked up at the ceiling at the top of the box and said nothing.

"What I don't understand is, why don't you reason with them, Zheng Qihang? Do they really represent Wang Fa? I don't believe it! Ding Ying said.

"It's clear that this is a robbery." Xu Zhengping said.

"They are robbers themselves." Cao Shuigen said.

"Robbing in broad daylight, I don't believe that no one cares." Ding Ying continued.

With my head up for too long and my neck aching, I returned to normal, "Go back." ”

"Is that really it?" Ding Ying asked.

"They're gone." I say.

"They can escape, and the monk can't escape the temple, isn't this what we agreed a long time ago? We can go to the retreat house and look for them. ”

"yes, yes." Xu Zhengping and Cao Shuigen echoed together.

I smiled wryly three times, and then told everyone what I had come up with. Everyone is a smart person, and everyone will weigh the pros and cons, and they are speechless after listening.

"So, just go back," I shrugged my shoulders with pretended relief, "let's go." ”

"However, such a large sum of money was crooked by them like this, I can't be angry." Xu Zhengping couldn't help but mumble softly.

"I can't help it," I put a hand on Xu Zhengping's shoulder, "It's just that it's not convenient for you to go to Pegatron in the future, I'm sorry." ”

"you."

Originally, it was a good joke, but no one laughed. Everyone's mood is too heavy.
