nIn the police car, Luo Wen was embarrassed for a long time before she said, “OK, just pay me the agreed money, 16 million yuan, and you don’t have to pay me any extra money.”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian smiled. “Thank you, Cousin.”
n
n
n
n
nAfter a long silence, Luo Wen couldn’t help asking, “Where did you get so much money? From “Star Wind”?”
n
n
nShe had investigated Li Xiaonian’s past, so she knew that Li Xiaonian wouldn’t do anything against the law, and he hadn’t gotten a job, so the only possibility was that he made a lot of money from “Star Wind”.
n
n
n“Um.” Li Xiaonian didn’t answer her question but asked, “Cousin, how can I get a driver’s license as soon as possible? Of course, I won’t break the law.”
n
n
nIt was really inconvenient to live in a villa but without a car.
n
n
n
n
n“Just follow the normal process to apply for a driver’s license. I can’t help you with it. If you want to buy a car, one of my friends has a 4S shop. I can ask him to give you the best price.” Then Luo Wen suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile, “Li Xiaonian, have you got a girlfriend? May I introduce a girl to you?”
n
n
n“…”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian was speechless. And then he reminded Luo Wen, “Cousin, I’m only 18 and a half now.”
n
n
n“So what? Our country’s marriage law stipulates that one can get married and have children at the age of eighteen.”
n
n
n
n
n“No, I’m still young. I’m not in a hurry to get a girlfriend.” To shut Luo Wen up, Li Xiaonian asked, “Cousin, your family is so anxious to get you married, so why don’t you get a boyfriend? I know a lot of very nice young men. Would you like me to introduce some to you?”
n
n
nLuo Wen chuckled. “Okay, my conditions are very simple. He has to beat me.”
n
n
n“…”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian tried his best to recall the young talents he had known in his previous life, but those who were good at martial arts all seemed to have had girlfriends.
n
n
nSomehow, Xiaolang’s figure popped up in his mind.
n
n
nXiaolang seemed to be about the same age as Cousin. He used to be a Special Forces soldier, so it would be a breeze for him to beat Cousin.
n
n
n
n
nAlthough Xiaolang was his enemy, it was only in the game, and Xiaolang seemed to be a nice guy. Maybe he could set him and Cousin up. If they could make a couple, the Wolf Walk Guild would lose a good helper.
n
n
nHe would be happy to see that happen.
n
n
nWith this in mind, Li Xiaonian nodded. “I do know a guy who meets your standards. He is a former Special Forces soldier and should be around 28 years. He is handsome and masculine. But of course, he is not as handsome as me.”
n
n
n28 years old, a former Special Forces soldier, handsome and masculine?
n
n
nAs for the ‘he is not as handsome as me’ part, Luo Wen simply ignored it.
n
n
nLuo Wen didn’t expect Li Xiaonian to know a guy who perfectly met her criteria for choosing a mate. She was a little shy and even nervous. “Xiaonian, if that man is so excellent, will he like me? And, he probably has a girlfriend, right?”
n
n
n“Cousin, be confident. You’re a very good girl, born in a rich family and with a sense of justice. Besides, you are very beautiful.”
n
n
nHearing his praise, Luo Wen burst out with joy.
n
n
n
n
n…
n
n
nWhen they entered the police station,
n
n
nLuo Wen called up the photo of everyone in Xinyue Community that was collected last night.
n
n
nLi Xiaonian pointed out all the gangsters he remembered. Besides Hong Dexi, he also identified three gangsters, and two other people, who he wasn’t quite sure about.
n
n
nAfter that, the police immediately launched a detailed investigation.
n
n
nMurder was a felony. Luo Wen was not a detective and had no authority to deal with this case. After submitting the case to her superiors, she called a lawyer over and handled the villa-related procedures.
n
n
nAfter paying off the money, Li Xiaonian could handle the real estate ownership certificate of the house.
n
n
nLi Xiaonian was anxious to get home to play “Star Wind”, so he refused Luo Wen’s invitation to lunch.
n
n
nNow that he was rich, he certainly wouldn’t take the crowded bus. Instead, he called a taxi.
n
n
nIn the taxi.
n
n
nLooking at the city outside the car window that used to be bustling, but now became quiet because of the appearance of “Star Wind”, Li Xiaonian had mixed feelings.
n
n
nWhat secrets are hidden in “Star Wind”? Do I have a chance to uncover the secrets?
n
n
nIn his previous life, he had never heard that a colorful skill book could instill specific memories into a player’s mind.
n
n
n
n
nHumans were greedy, and he was no exception. After obtaining a colorful skill book, he was very eager to obtain another one, or even more.
n
n
nAs he was thinking, Li Xiaonian suddenly thought of someone.
n
n
nA woman who once accompanied him through the most difficult times, his former housekeeper, Ye Hongyan.
n
n
n“If I remember correctly, now is the most difficult time for Sister Ye.”
n
n
nThinking of this, Li Xiaonian smiled. Then he took out his cell phone and dialed a number he was very familiar with.
n
n
nLuo’an Village, Guangnan City.
n
n
nThis was a quiet and peaceful mountain village.
n
n
nAt this moment, in dirty clothes, Ye Hongyan was cutting vegetables to feed the pigs.
n
n
nOn the way home with the vegetables, she heard people gossiping about her from time to time.
n
n
n“Look, that’s Widow Ye. Her family used to be the richest in our village and had moved to a big city. But now, she has returned to our village, raising pigs and hounded by loan sharks every day.”
n
n
n“Yep, I heard that her husband who was up to his neck in debt died of myocardial infarction1 because of bankruptcy. Now the creditors are forcing her to repay the debts.”
n
n
nYe Hongyan bit her lip and said nothing as the crowd gossiped about her. However, as soon as she got home, she saw a group of tattooed youths blocking her door, and two of them were pulling two sows that she had worked so hard on into a truck.
n
n
nSeeing this, Ye Hongyan immediately collapsed. “How can you do this? Stop it.”
n
n
nYe Hongyan tried to snatch her sows back, only to be thrust aside by a tattooed young man. “Ye Hongyan, a debtor has to pay his debt. You have money to buy sows, but you don’t have money to pay us back? That’s ridiculous!”
n
n
n“I borrowed the money from my parents. As long as I succeed in raising pigs, I can pay you back within three years. As long as you give me enough time, I’ll pay you back for sure. Please, please don’t take my sows.” Ye Hongyan pleaded hard.
n
n
n“Bah, since you can borrow money, you should borrow more and pay us back. Then we’ll no longer come to you, and everyone is happy.”
n
n
n…
n
n
nAt this moment, Ye Hongyan’s phone rang.
n
n
nA gangster snatched the phone, picked up the call, and shouted, “You must be Ye Hongyan’s friend, right? She owes our boss 12 million yuan. If you still take her as a friend, you’d better repay the money for her. Otherwise, I don’t know what’s going to happen to her.”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian’s face darkened when he heard the voice of the gangster. “I don’t care who you are. You’d better not touch Sister Ye. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing. Now return the phone to Sister Ye. I need to listen to her voice. If she is fine, I can immediately transfer the money she owes you.”
n
n
nThe young gangster was overjoyed. “Oh, so you’re a big boss. Sorry, my bad. I’ll give the phone back to Sister Ye right away.”
n
n
nThen he immediately handed the phone to Ye Hongyan and said gently, “Sister Ye, you should have told us earlier that you know a big boss!”
n
n
nYe Hongyan had recovered from her collapse and glanced at the strange number. “Who… who are you?”
n
n
n“Sister Ye, are you alright? Did they hurt you?” Li Xiaonian asked.
