Fang Huai is someone who has experienced the bitterness of life.
He pointed to Hua Mi walking towards him from a distance, close to the crowd, and said to the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face.
“You can ask her for all the debts I owe; she’s my niece.”
“I raised her, and she hasn’t repaid me for the life she gave me. It’s easy for her to help me pay off some of her debts.”
After saying that, Fang Huai, with his thin, stick-like body, disappeared into the crowd.
The weasel-faced man, caught off guard, let Fang Huai slip away. He cursed under his breath.
"Oh shit."
Then he looked at Hua Mi and stood directly in front of her.
Hua Mi was taken aback. Standing behind the crowd, she looked up at the audacious thug opposite her.
At this point, Liu Shengyuan had regained some of his senses.
Seeing that he was able to cooperate with the medical staff to get on the stretcher, Hua Mi decided to browse the street stalls outside the city.
Because Xiangcheng has limited carrying capacity, the threshold for entering Xiangcheng has now been raised.
Ordinary people and people with criminal records are not allowed to live in the city.
Those who can live in the city are only talents from various fields, pregnant women, children whose parents have died and who have no one to take care of them, and elderly people who are unable to move around.
There were also vendors who could enter the city to wholesale goods but could not live in the city, as well as migrant workers who joined the infrastructure construction team.
Of course, ordinary people who had already entered the city earlier would not be driven out and could still live in the city.
As a result, a large number of survivors gathered outside Xiangcheng.
Where there are survivors, there will be stalls, and you can find many good things at these stalls.
Hua Mi rarely leaves the city, and she planned to go on a shopping spree, but she was stopped by someone.
She found the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face in front of her to be very familiar.
After thinking for a while, she realized that these men were the ones who had been loitering outside her Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket in the surveillance footage.
They've come for her.
"You're Fang Huai's niece?"
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face pulled an IOU from his pocket and unfolded it towards Hua Mi.
“This is a debt your uncle borrowed from us; you should pay it back.”
Hua Mi didn't even glance at the densely written note.
"Don't you understand the principle of children paying for their parents' debts? Go find his daughter, why are you coming to me? I don't know this person."
Of course we're not familiar with each other, but we've been separated by a lifetime.
If Fang Huai hadn't survived this life and reappeared in front of her, Hua Mi wouldn't even remember what Fang Huai looked like.
So don't try to scam someone you don't know well.
After saying that, she turned to leave.
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face reached out and blocked her way.
He looked at Hua Mi in a sleazy manner.
“This matter is not going to be so easily resolved. I’ve seen plenty of people who don’t pay their debts, and they all pretend they don’t know us.”
“I advise you to be honest. Either pay back the money and supplies your uncle owes, or I’ll find you a job. You’re pretty enough, you can pay back the money and supplies your uncle owes in a few years.”
The premise is that Fang Huai will not gamble anymore and will not borrow any more money.
The possibility of this is extremely small.
Having been in the underworld for so long, they had never seen a gambler truly quit gambling.
Most of them swear an oath that they will never gamble again, but on the other hand, they cannot resist the temptation of gambling and try every means to gamble.
Every gamble is like the last time for a gambler, and with each last gamble, they dream of winning back their losses in the next round.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Hua Mi will have to pay off Fang Huai's debts for the rest of her life.
Hua Mi raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with a mocking coldness.
Just as she was about to speak, a man's broad, thick chest pressed against her from behind.
A large, steady hand gripped Hua Mi's shoulder, and Gong Yi's voice rang out.
"Go behind me."
As he spoke, Gong Yi shielded Hua Mi's body behind him.
He looked at the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man opposite him. Before he could even speak, the sharpness in his eyes was like a blade, making the street thugs tremble all over.
The city garrison commander's epaulets on the man's shoulders gleamed, rivaling even the distant light show.
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks began to tremble.
"I, I, I didn't say anything either. But you can't just not pay your debts, can you?"
He hasn't done anything to Hua Mi yet, so why did the commander run out?
Actually, as long as Hua Mi helps Fang Huai return the money and supplies, there's no need to sell them.
Their main purpose in stopping Hua Mi was to force her to take responsibility for Fang Huai's gambling debts.
So what is the relationship between Hua Mi and Gong Yi? Why would Gong Yi step in to stand up for Hua Mi at this time?
"Say what you just said again?"
Gong Yi took two steps forward and asked, his voice cold and angry.
"What do you want my wife to do? What kind of job do you want to introduce to her?"
My wife??? Not only were the men with pointed faces dumbfounded, but even Hua Mi was dumbfounded.
She stood behind Gong Yi, raised her fingertip, and poked Gong Yi's back.
When did she become his wife? Weren't they just in a one-night stand relationship?
Gong Yi ignored the tingling, poke-like sensation on his spine; he only looked at the street thugs across the street.
"Gambling and prostitution are strictly prohibited under my jurisdiction, didn't you know that?"
As he spoke, Gong Yi snatched the IOU from the weasel-faced man's hand, glanced at it casually,
"Your handwriting is really ugly."
Then he handed it back to the weasel-faced man, who said coldly.
"Whom should you seek compensation from?"
The men with pointed mouths and monkey-like faces immediately realized what was happening and began to bow and scrape.
"We're only asking Fang Huai; it has nothing to do with your wife."
"roll!"
