Chapter 5 The Ungrateful Man Who Sold His Sisters to Escape the Mountains
Wang Facai and his gang's hideout wasn't far from here, and Ji Huaizhi used the map provided by the system to find where they hid their money.
Looking at the two people behind him, he realized that the money hidden there must have been more than just the money they had been swindled out of.
It is estimated that there is still a considerable amount of embezzled funds.
As he reached the door, Jiang Fulin stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Could they really be right? Is Ji Huaizhi planning to run away with the money?
Jiang Fulin swallowed hard.
Ji Huaizhi turned to look at them: "It's nothing. I just found this place. You wait for me outside while I go in to get the money."
The younger monkey seemed a little scared: "Brother Ji, you..."
"Why are you crying?" Ji Huaizhi was speechless. "I can leave the door open."
The little monkey pouted in agreement; he was too young to have any particular thoughts.
But Jiang Fulin understood why he did this; there was more money involved than just the seven of them, and Ji Huaizhi didn't want to share that money with them.
Ji Huaizhi saw that he had figured it out, and looked at Jiang Fulin's expression.
Do you have a problem with that?
Jiang Fulin licked his back teeth with his tongue. Ever since he boarded the train to Guangzhou, he had thought Ji Huaizhi was an idiot.
On the train, he saw Wang Facai's men steal five hundred yuan from him.
That's when he started to suspect that these people were scammers.
So he gave very little money later on, just to find an opportunity to run away or pretend to be stupid.
Unexpectedly, Ji Huaizhi was playing dumb from the very beginning, probably knowing all along that Wang Facai and his group were swindlers.
He looks like he came here specifically for this room.
To be honest, Jiang Fulin wasn't unmoved; he was extremely tempted.
During that brief moment of silence, he had already considered what would happen if he started fighting with Ji Huaizhi.
Who can beat them?
I'm fairly confident I can get the money.
Ji Huaizhi also saw the ruthlessness in his eyes. There is no one in the world who is not greedy, and he was not afraid of his greed, but the premise was that he could not take it from his hands.
"Um?"
Jiang Fulin's forehead was beaded with sweat: "Okay."
He always felt there were other emotions in Ji Huaizhi's eyes, and being very good at reading people's expressions, he agreed.
His intuition told him not to act rashly.
After Ji Huaizhi pushed open the door, he took out a flashlight from his bag and walked straight to the cabinet.
With his back to him, Ji Huaizhi took out a watermelon knife from his spatial storage, ready to ambush him should he dare to rush up and attack.
He will definitely cripple his hand.
Jiang Fulin was also conflicted. Watching him rustling as he stood in front of the cabinet, stuffing things into his bag, he felt that impulse was about to win over reason.
His right hand was trembling uncontrollably, and just as he was about to reach out, Ji Huaizhi turned around.
His heart skipped a beat at that sharp gaze.
"then."
Jiang Fulin caught the money he was thrown at and his gaze shifted to the man's bulging satchel.
The little monkey also took a stack.
"Walk."
Ji Huaizhi had already put the money he had just received into his spatial storage; this bag only contained some other things.
He thought Jiang Fulin would come forward to snatch it, but he held back.
Of course... maybe if I turn my back to him for a little longer, he'll rush up to me.
It was still dark when they returned, and the three of them walked quite fast, their backs soaked with sweat.
Ji Huaizhi stopped and looked at the brightly lit area. There were many women standing outside the shops on that street, clearly indicating that the area was a place that did that kind of business.
Jiang Fulin frowned at him, assuming he wanted to go and play with women.
"Let's go back first, it's getting late, they're still waiting for us."
Ji Huaizhi shook his head: "You guys wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Jiang Fulin stopped him: "Come again next time. You still have so much on you... It's too unsafe. It won't make a difference if you wait a little longer."
Ji Huaizhi knew he had misunderstood: "I'll go find someone. You guys go back and tidy up the house first, and tell them to hide and not come out."
"You stay outside and keep watch over Wang Facai and the others. I'm taking some men back."
He could see Jiang Fulin's lack of understanding: "Wang Facai has been in Guangzhou for so long, we're easy to catch. Just do as I say."
Jiang Fulin had some doubts, but he still believed Ji Huaizhi and did as he was told.
When Daqun and the others saw that Ji Huaizhi was not following them when they returned, they became excited.
"Look what I said! He ran away!"
"Where's the money?" Daqun grabbed Jiang Fulin. "Where's our money?"
Jiang Fulin frowned and pushed him away: "We've already gotten the money back. Ji Huaizhi said that Wang Facai and his group have influence in Guangzhou. Even if we've taken the money, it will be difficult for us to escape."
"He'll be back with some people in a bit. Pack all this up first, and you all hide in the next room."
Daqun grabbed him by the collar: "Give us the money back first!"
Jiang Fulin finally understood Ji Huaizhi's feelings.
It was so annoying, he wanted to kick him too.
He pushed him away and growled in a low voice, "The money's all here. We'll talk about splitting it later. If you keep causing trouble, believe me, I'll slap you too."
Daqun was so frightened that he covered his head and pouted, saying, "I just want my money."
Fang Youliang also sobered up: "Jiang Fulin is right. We'll talk about dividing the money later. Let's do as Ji Huaizhi said for now."
