"I stole this, hahaha, I caught the manager, if I didn't give it to him, he'd be dead," Xu Chen said smugly.
"Boss, this gold is probably illicitly acquired. I'll launder it for you, but the bank cards are still fine." A gang can't do everything illegal; otherwise, even the strongest protection wouldn't hold up.
Xu Chen nodded, and the group drove into the city. Xiao Qing looked out the window and whispered, "My two benefactors, let's... let's stay here. Don't worry, I won't call the police." Xu Chen looked out the window, puzzled. It was a budget hotel. The girl wasn't one to forget kindness, but the only thing she could offer in return was her virginity, which was why she had mustered the courage to say those words.
The two brothers immediately realized what the girl in front of them was thinking.
"Are you really stupid or just pretending? Do you think we brothers look like we're lacking women?"
"Yes, little sister, there's no need for that. Xiao Qin, do you have five million in your account?" Xu Chen asked directly.
At this moment, Xiaoqing was so angry that tears were about to fall. Qin Junlin was about to apologize when he heard Xu Chen's question, and he nodded.
"If you have any, transfer the money to her. You keep the money on this card. I'm worried the Black Tiger Gang might use this card to cause trouble for her."
“That’s true, but she has nothing right now,” Qin asked.
Xu Chen looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, it's quite late today. Let's settle you in first, and we'll take you to get your documents replaced tomorrow."
Xiaoqing nodded blankly. Five million? These two gave it to me while they were talking? She followed them to a hotel and booked the best suite.
"Junlin, you stay here today. I have to go home. I'll take the car and pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay, boss."
After Xu Chen left, Qin Junlin sat on the sofa smoking, and Xiao Qing came out of a room to thank him again.
"Thank you so much, my benefactors. Without you, I might have had a miserable day."
"Don't cry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I apologize." Then he added, "Take this five million, find a job, and live a good life."
Xiaoqing quickly refused, "No, that's something you earned with your life, I can't take it."
"Don't refuse. Being used as a bargaining chip by the Black Tiger Gang, you must have had a tough time before. With money, at least you'll be happier."
Xiaoqing burst into tears, then choked out how her uncle's family had treated her and how they had sold her to the Black Tiger Gang. Qin Junlin shook his head repeatedly after listening.
"Go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning, my brothers and I will take you to get your documents replaced."
Xiaoqing nodded, turned and went into the bedroom. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and began to think. A mix of emotions—lingering fear, apprehension, terror, and the overwhelming joy of being rescued—swirled within her. As she pondered, she suddenly thought of the man outside the door. "The door wasn't locked. Will he hold back from coming in?" "It wouldn't matter if he came in; after all, he saved me." "Will he really give me the five million? He doesn't seem to be lying. But is there really anyone in this world who wouldn't care about five million?" "I hope he comes in. I owe him and his brother so much." And so, the night passed quietly amidst the girl's chaotic thoughts.
"Boss, you're here early." Qin Junlin opened the door and welcomed Xu Chen in, bringing breakfast with him.
"Boss, did you make this or did your wife make it? So thoughtful."
“Your sister-in-law made it. She heard about Xiaoqing’s plight and felt very sorry for her. Under my guidance, she made breakfast for Xiaoqing.”
"Oh, you only made it for Xiaoqing."
"Are you blind? Isn't there enough for two people?"
After washing up, Xiaoqing went outside and saw breakfast on the table. She sat down silently, and as she ate, tears began to stream down her face.
"Why are you crying?" Xu Chen asked, puzzled.
"Since my mother passed away, no one has ever been so kind to me. Thank you, thank you all," Xiaoqing said, her voice trembling with emotion.
"Don't thank me, hurry up and finish your food, then I'll take you to get your documents replaced." Qin Junlin gets annoyed when people say thank you too often.
Xiaoqing finished her meal in big mouthfuls and got into the car with the two men.
The three spent the entire morning going back and forth between several departments, being tossed around like a football. Finally, Qin Junlin couldn't take it anymore and made several calls to his uncles, which finally got the matter expedited.
After replacing the documents and transferring the money, Xu Chen intended to take the girl to the airport so she could return to her hometown. At that moment, Qin Junlin nudged his arm.
“Boss, sending her home is like sending a lamb to the slaughter.” Then he told Xu Chen about his heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Qing the night before.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen also felt that it made sense. Moreover, upon careful consideration, the threat posed by the Black Tiger Gang to this girl had not yet been eliminated.
"What do you recommend?"
"Hmm, uh... I'll find her a job. Let her stay in the capital."
The two looked at Xiaoqing and both thought the plan was feasible.
"Xiaoqing, where are you planning to go next?" Xu Chen asked gently.
Xiaoqing was confused by the question. She had been following her two benefactors the whole time, and now it was her turn to decide where to go, but she didn't know what to think.
"The Black Tiger Gang might target you again, and you can't trust your uncle back home. Stay in Beijing; I'll find you a job," Qin Junlin advised.
"Is it really possible? But my education level isn't very high."
"It's alright, I'll say hello." Qin Junlin waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem, and then made a phone call.
The group worked until after midnight, and under Qin's persistent phone calls, their friend's company made an exception and interviewed Xiaoqing.
"Hey boss, it's really not easy to be a good person. The beauty and five million you were about to get have both flown away." Qin Junlin said to Xiaoqing as she walked into the building.
"They're getting a good deal and still acting innocent. Those several large boxes of gold bars must be worth tens of millions."
“Boss, I’m not going to take advantage of you like this. These boxes of gold bars are the start-up capital for your project.”
"So generous?"
"Boss, we're like brothers, your business is my business."
Xu Chen patted Qin Junlin on the shoulder, about to say the words "good brother," when his phone suddenly rang.
"Chen Di, aren't you coming to school yet?! You have class this afternoon, and it's Professor Tong's class!" Zhao Weimin's voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
Xu Chen was startled and quickly said goodbye to Qin Junlin.
"Junlin, I have class this afternoon, I'll take your car first."
Qin Junlin nodded, then teased Xu Chen, "Poor students, they still have endless classes every day."
"You brat, I'll deal with you after school." Xu Chen said this and quickly drove away.
