It got dark.
As Situ Ming walked, he said, "When we leave next week, remember to settle the debt and tell Li San to run his catering company well. That's our only way out."
The old butler placed a dish of fish in vinegar sauce in front of Situ Ming. "Young master, rest assured, Li San is an extremely shrewd businessman. Besides, he has a deep-seated hatred for the murder of his wife and family, and he is a man of great sentimentality. He would never betray us!"
"That's good. Has Yang Zhuo replied yet?"

There was still a remaining debt of three hundred yuan.
Butler Zhu's voice followed, "Two hundred is for the other half, one hundred is for medical expenses. If word gets out about what happened today..."
