Chapter 3
The snakehead called Ye Tianhui aside, had a detailed chat with her, and quickly figured out the situation.
The snakehead was called Li San. Li San had some connections in the local area and could take people like her who came from the mainland to the city center, but he had to charge a fee. Li San's price was one thousand Hong Kong dollars.
He looked at Ye Tianhui and said, "But we don't just look at money, we also consider human relationships."
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, favors? But we don't know each other, we don't have any favors to offer."
Li San looked at Ye Tianhui's nonchalant look and shrugged helplessly before saying, "Meeting is fate. If you have 150 yuan, give it to me first. Then write me an IOU for 850 yuan. I won't charge you any interest."
Ye Tianhui was confused: "But you don't know me, and I don't have anyone to guarantee you. What if I don't pay you back, or I never have the money to pay you back, then you'll lose money, right?"
Li San laughed when he heard this: "In Hong Kong, it's easy for me to find someone. Anyone who owes me money must pay it back. As for you——"
His gaze moved from Ye Tianhui's face down, across the slight undulations, and finally fixed on her slender waist.
He smiled and said, "How can a good young woman not make money? I'm not afraid of waiting. I can wait forever. I feel relieved."
Ye Tianhui heard this and said, "I'm just afraid that I might accidentally cheat others and that you'll suffer. Since you're not afraid, then I'm relieved. But you don't have to worry."
She assured him earnestly, "I always keep my word, and generally speaking, I don't bully others."
Bully?
Li San found Ye Tianhui's innocent words funny. This girl from the mainland is so pure and looks so pretty!
Since the two had reached an agreement, Ye Tianhui gave her 150 yuan to Li San and wrote an IOU to Li San. The IOU also stipulated the interest. Ye Tianhui looked at the interest and found that it was 20% annual interest.
She asked Li San, "Twenty percent annual interest?"
Li San nodded: "Yes."
Ye Tianhui: "Are you sure?"
Li San: "It's all the same price. I don't charge you more."
Ye Tianhui smiled and looked at Li San: "I'm just worried that you think it's too low, but since you think it's good, that's fine, let's make it 20%."
Li San: “…”
This mainland girl must be stupid.
However, Li San didn't say anything else. He took Ye Tianhui forward and soon arrived at a greasy auto repair shop. He smoked a cigarette and talked to the other party in Cantonese with a heavy accent. Ye Tianhui could not understand it very well.
Those people looked at Ye Tianhui curiously.
Ye Tianhui felt that their gazes were as greasy as the oil stains all over the repair shop.
Soon, Li San took Ye Tianhui to an old van. He steered the car skillfully and said, "I'll take you to the city."
Ye Tianhui had only taken the bus before, so she was curious when she saw this bus. She leaned over the window and watched. The van drove into the bustling place, and Ye Tianhui couldn't take her eyes off it.
There are tall buildings in the city of Hong Kong, and traffic is constantly coming and going. Big signs can be seen everywhere on the streets, which are dazzling. Not only that, the buses are covered with colorful advertisements, such as Lee Kum Kee, Ovaltine Malted Milk, and car repair and electrical appliance stores, all in traditional Chinese characters.
She was so engrossed in looking that her eyes were not enough. She thought to herself, this is truly a colorful world. It is incomparable to her past era, and it is also incomparable to the mainland today.
Coming to this beautiful place, showing her talents, building a career, enjoying life happily, eating and drinking delicious food, this is what makes her life worthwhile.
Li San found it even funnier when he saw her with her eyes wide open, looking very naive.
Who knew that at this moment, Ye Tianhui suddenly asked curiously: "What is that? What are those people doing?"
Li San said nonchalantly, "Nothing much, just a street."
But he still looked over subconsciously, and when he saw it, he was also shocked.
But I saw a huge crowd of people under the bridge over there, a group of people with their families, all of them were covered in dust, and some had bruises and mud on their faces.
Judging from their clothes, they are clearly a group of people from mainland China!
These people walked through the streets in a huge crowd, like a swarm of locusts, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the police at all.
Li San was stunned: "This, this——"
He has never seen such a scene in his life!
Ye Tianhui understood instantly.
Because of the rumor about Elizabeth, many people in mainland China believed it. It is said that tens of thousands of people rushed to Hong Kong. Naturally, many of these people died, but the number of people was too large, so many people still rushed to Hong Kong.
She suddenly felt something was wrong.
The shortcuts in this world, or Confucius, are for a few people to exploit. If the number of people increases and everyone has a share, then the shortcut will be trampled upon.
I'm afraid that the "resistance policy" is going to fail.
At this time, some Hong Kong police came over and tried to stop those people. The road ahead was in a mess and blocked, and it was impossible to move forward.
Li San gritted his teeth, cursed, and had to turn around and go to a breakfast shop: "Wait a minute."
Ye Tianhui naturally had nothing to say and could only nod.
Li San took Ye Tianhui out of the car and found a restaurant outside, but saw that the TV news in the hotel was broadcasting this incident.
It turned out that tens of thousands of people stormed the border today. The British Hong Kong authorities reacted strongly to this incident and tried various means to encircle and search them. They established a "Joint Military and Police Command" on the border and even dispatched troops, helicopters and warships to patrol day and night.
But even so, it still couldn't stop a large number of people from pouring into the streets of Hong Kong.
Now the authorities have begun a strict investigation, trying to send all these people back, and warned residents not to hide them privately. If they are discovered, they will be fined.
Li San listened to this and kept his mouth wide open.
He has been in this business for some years. Ever since the authorities introduced the "resistance policy", he has been making money smoothly. Why did it suddenly become like this?
He didn't dare to say anything at the moment, and quickly slipped forward, soon reaching a secluded corner. Ye Tianhui hurriedly followed him.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li San stopped and looked at Ye Tianhui.
Ye Tianhui blinked and looked at him innocently, as if she was very obedient.
Li San suddenly got angry and spat fiercely towards the corner of the wall.
Ye Tianhui asked cautiously: "Now, where should we go? What should we do?"
Li San frowned, raised his chin slightly and looked at Ye Tianhui: "Now you have two choices."
Ye Tianhui: "What?"
Li San: "Be my girlfriend, I'll protect you."
Ye Tianhui listened and understood that "Ma Zi" means object.
She shook her head and said seriously, "I don't want to be your girlfriend, and I don't like you."
Li San looked at her innocent face and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Ye Tianhui: "Go? But aren't you going to take me to the city?"
Li San just thought Ye Tianhui was too stupid. He became impatient and said, "Are you blind? You can't see what's happening on the street right now. Do you want to get me into trouble?"
Ye Tianhui: "But we've already made it clear. I've given you the money and written the IOU. If you let me go now, what should I do? I'm completely alone and in a completely unfamiliar place. Do you want me to be arrested?"
Li San: "Get lost! How would I know what you're going to do?"
Ye Tianhui could hardly believe it: "You actually want to trick me?"
Li San laughed: "What's wrong with me trying to trick you? I didn't say I'd drag you back home to be my mistress. I'm very conscientious!"
Ye Tianhui really couldn't believe it. How could this man be like this? He actually went back on his word.
He actually cheated her!
Ye Tianhui raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Li San: "You don't care about me anymore?"
Li San: "Care about you? If you sleep with me for a few nights and I sleep comfortably, I'll take care of you."
Ye Tianhui: "You're not going to pay me back?"
Li San: "Pay back the money? You put it in my pocket and want to get out? You're dreaming!"
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Ye Tianhui stepped forward and kept chasing after him: "No, you must pay me back the money and my IOU. You have to give it to me, otherwise I won't leave."
Li San: "You're fucking sick!"
Ye Tianhui: "You really won't pay me back?"
Li San: "Who owes you money? Go find whoever you want, not me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tianhui suddenly raised his fist.
He was surprised, and before he could understand what was happening, he was punched in the nose, which made his nose numb and swollen, and then he was in so much pain that he had to grimace.
He couldn't believe it: "You, you hit me? Do you know who I am? You——"
A little girl from mainland China actually hit him? ?
Ye Tianhui looked at him expressionlessly: "I don't care who you are, you cheated me out of money, I'll beat you to death."
After saying that, she stepped forward and punched him again.
Li San was no pushover either. He fought back in anger. However, Ye Tianhui, who looked weak, was actually very strong. In a few hits, Ye Tianhui had his hands tied behind his back and pinned him down. She beat him so hard that he cried out in frustration.
Ye Tianhui: "Don't be too loud, even if it hurts, don't be too loud, otherwise if the police come, I will be deported, but you will also be punished, so be quiet and bear it."
Li San's nose and tears were flowing together, and they cried even more violently after hearing this.
What kind of mainland girl is this? She is about to beat me to death, but she is still trying to persuade me so kindly!
Who knew that at this time, Ye Tianhui punched again: "Where is my money?"
Li San said tremblingly: "In, in my pocket..."
Ye Tianhui bent down and searched in his pocket, and sure enough, she found her 150 Hong Kong dollars.
However, she did not let Li San go, and continued to search his other pockets. She first found a bag of wife cakes, which was unopened. Ye Tianhui was starving now, so she quickly took it for herself.
She searched again and found a wallet containing her IOU and stacks of Hong Kong dollars.
She first put the IOU away, then counted the Hong Kong dollars, which turned out to be more than 800 Hong Kong dollars.
This snakehead is so rich.
She simply put away the eight hundred Hong Kong dollars along with her own hundred and more and said, "Alright, you can go now."
Li San's eyes widened: "That eight hundred is mine, that's my money——"
This mainland girl actually robbed people? Isn't this robbing people?
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhui raised her foot and stepped hard on Li San's chest. Li San's face turned pale and he was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound.
Ye Tianhui lowered her eyes and looked at the man on the ground: "What's wrong with taking a few dollars from you? I didn't take your life. I was kind. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Li San was dazzled by the pain. He raised his eyes with difficulty and looked at Ye Tianhui. He felt that the originally weak mainland girl now had a cold and gloomy aura, as if she was a decisive general, as if she controlled the lives of countless people in the world.
Li San felt a chill on his back.
He suddenly remembered what Ye Tianhui said at the beginning. She said she was always afraid that she would cheat others and make them suffer...
At that time, he thought this mainland girl was simple, but now he understands...
He trembled and said, "Lady, spare my life, Lady, take all the money, take it all, it's all yours, thank you!"
Ye Tianhui nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since you are willing to give it to me, then I will feel at ease. I have said before that generally speaking, I will not cheat others casually."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
But halfway through, she came back and said to Li San, who was lying on the ground with a black eye and swollen face, "You shouldn't have done that."
Li San: “…”
"Well" shouldn't mean thank you here. The hostess is very polite.
