Chapter 117: Jealousy



Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Long Wangcai has no chance to beat you now. You are trapped in the backyard. You didn't know that he was sent to the gate of the government office at the time of Yin.

The evidence that man used was that he had sold inferior goods as genuine ones and committed murder. All his loyal subordinates were arrested, and the people around the government office all knew about it.

It's just that the news hasn't spread that widely yet, so you've done a good thing by making a fuss, helping the people of the capital to recognize the true face of Jinlong Grain Store and Long Wangcai."

Chi Daming blinked when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "Then I am considered a hero?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't expect that gamblers also have a hero complex. He smiled and said, "Of course, you can be considered a hero because you made the people in Beijing who were kept in the dark realize the truth and stop buying moldy rice from unscrupulous merchants."

After hearing these words, Chi Daming seemed to be energized and he vigorously ate the remaining two mouthfuls of rice in the bowl.

After finishing the meal, he quickly washed the dishes. After drying his hands, he said seriously, "Boss Xu, I will go and rescue the people of the capital!"

After saying that, Chi Daming puffed out his chest and raised his head, and left the backyard in a heroic and high-spirited manner. He didn't even ask Xu Jinhuan for the ten taels of silver that had been agreed upon before.

Xu Jinhuan blinked his eyes. Could being a hero have such a magical power? Could it make a gambler give up even his money?

Just as she finished her sigh, she saw Chi Daming walking back to the backyard, and he said somewhat awkwardly.

"Mr. Xu, I know you are a good person, but I am a wretch, and this is the end of my life. Can you help me deliver the ten taels of silver you mentioned earlier to a certain place?"

Xu Jinhuan was puzzled: "Send it to your relatives?"

Chi Daming nodded and said, "My wife and son live in Dawang Village outside Beijing. I have done too many things over the years, and this is probably the only thing I can do to compensate them.

Actually, I thought a lot last night. I think people can only have enlightenment before they die. I don’t know how long I can stay lucid. Maybe once I get the money, I will go to the gambling house again.

So, please help me send the money to them, so that I can feel at ease."

Xu Jinhuan saw the epitome of many gamblers in Chi Daming, who could perhaps still be called a human being when he was not gambling.

But once they re-enter the gambling house and lose all their money, they will sell their children, daughters, and wives, and will be worse than animals.

"I promise you, take care of yourself."

Xu Jinhuan had nothing more to say here. After all, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Chi Daming bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

Xu Jinhuan went into the house and gave the waiter some instructions.

At the same time, Xie Guangbai, who was squatting in the corner doing nothing, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He turned around and saw a handsome and heroic young man walking towards him, or rather, walking towards the alley.

Behind the young man was a guard dressed in black.

"Master, there aren't any big missions lately, right? I'm so idle I'm just growing mushrooms at the foot of the wall, why don't I check the storybook?"

Wuyou was muttering in dissatisfaction behind Zhou Ziheng.

When Zhou Ziheng looked at Xie Guangbai in the corner, he felt it was extremely dazzling.

He slowly clenched his fists and looked at Xie Guangbai with murderous eyes. The energy surrounding this man was all about Jinhuan. What was his relationship with Jinhuan?

Once upon a time, only he had this treatment, but now others also have it?

If it weren't for his reason telling him that this was the person Jinhuan was protecting, Zhou Ziheng would have directly sent the person to death.

Zhou Ziheng was secretly jealous, while Wuyou next to him didn't know how to read people's expressions at all and was still mumbling.

"Master, Master, why are you looking at a corner so intently? Is there a treasure there?"

When Xie Guangbai in the corner heard this, he immediately hugged the bag in his arms tightly. No way, no way, could the master's magic fail?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziheng glanced at the corner and said coldly: "Nothing, I just looked around and thought there was a strange mark there."

Only then did Xie Guangbai lean against the wall in the corner and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ziheng looked at his behavior with disdain and was secretly worried about Xu Jinhuan. If Jinhuan was surrounded by such useless people, how tired she would be!

Wuyou, who was standing aside, had no idea what his master was thinking and suddenly started talking about something out of the blue.

"Master, you said that the rain has stopped. Does that mean Miss Xu will leave too? Then you won't be able to see each other forever, right?"

These words were like a sword stabbing Zhou Ziheng's heart. He glanced at Wuyou coldly and said, "I remember there seems to be a long-term mission in the northwest that no one is going to go on. You are free, so go ahead."

Wuyou's face fell immediately when he heard this, "Master, I said the wrong thing, you and Miss Xu will definitely meet as soon as possible!

Please think twice. The Northwest is a wild place, and the stories there were popular in Beijing three or four years ago."

Zhou Ziheng raised his eyes and sneered, "I've seen your martial arts moves, and you've indeed been a little slack these days. Go to the northwest and train well, and we'll talk about the rest when you come back."

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Wuyou could only slap his mouth in bitterness. Why did he act so servilely and bring up his master's troubles? He really deserved it!

"My notebook, wait for me to come back!" Wuyou turned his head to look in the direction of the bookstore and stretched out his hand reluctantly.

Zhou Ziheng glanced at Xie Guangbai in the corner again before turning and leaving.

"Hey, master, please wait for me!" Wuyou said goodbye to the bookstore, turned around and saw Zhou Ziheng leaving, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

Xie Guangbai in the corner patted his chest carefully and muttered something.

"Why do I always feel like that person can see me? But the person next to him is so stupid, and it doesn't look like he's pretending not to see."

Here, after Xu Jinhuan explained everything, he hurried to Xie Guangbai's position.

It happened that Zhou Ziheng had gotten rid of Wuyou and was walking towards this side alone.

Xu Jinhuan looked subconsciously and saw a familiar face. Why did this face look exactly like that annoying Zombie King?

It’s so annoying that I can meet the same people even in ancient times!

Xu Jinhuan immediately turned his head in disgust and walked quickly towards Xie Guangbai.

Just as a glimmer of surprise flashed across Zhou Ziheng's eyes and he was thinking about how to greet Xu Jinhuan, he saw the look of disgust in her eyes.

He smiled helplessly. He was so excited that he lost his mind. How could he forget that in Jinhuan's eyes, this face belonged to the Zombie King.

It was already very considerate of her to just look at her with disdain. If it were the end of the world, I'm afraid she would have taken direct action.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have fabricated a new identity to stay by her side...

"Master, why are you running so fast? I couldn't catch up with you even with my lightness skills!" Wuyou hurriedly caught up with Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng looked in the direction where Xu Jinhuan left. What else could it be?
