Li Ruo hadn't expected this. Although she had been here for almost a week, she was afraid of being discovered by Darius's people, so she hadn't left the house since she borrowed the phone last time.
She was afraid of being told about it by men, but if it attracted Darius's men, then it would be a loss.
"He went out to find food and hasn't come back for several days. I don't know when he'll be back."
"you do not know?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately became furious: "What will happen to my money if he doesn't come back?"
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of those around him.
Li Ruo was afraid that she might accidentally say something that would upset him, so she simply didn't dare to speak again.
This action only enraged the man further: "Speak up! Don't play dumb with me! You have to pay me back today, or don't blame me for kicking you out!"
“If you kick me out, you’ll have even less chance of finding him.”
Li Ruo took a deep breath, suppressing her dizziness, and replied coldly.
"you……"
Upon hearing this, the man paused, but then realized that what Li Ruo said made sense.
Although we don't know who this woman is, the fact that she's staying in this tent suggests that the two have a close relationship.
With her around, Lyon might just come back!
Thinking about this, he frowned, somewhat undecided.
Just then, a thin figure suddenly darted out from the alley entrance.
"Boss, what are you doing here?"
Having finally shaken off Sally's men, Leon returned to the slums only to witness this scene.
He glanced worriedly at the closed tent before pulling the man aside.
"Boss, she's a distant cousin of mine. Please don't make things difficult for her. Just tell me if you need anything."
The man glanced at Yang and instantly became furious: "Where have you been? Isn't today the agreed-upon day for repayment? Are you trying to go back on your word?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
Upon hearing this, Lyon quickly flattered him, "I was just thinking of paying you back, so I went out early this morning to find work."
The man knew Leon was a smooth talker, so he didn't want to waste any more time: "Stop talking nonsense, where's the money?"
Lyon paused slightly, then smiled and explained, "Oh dear, it's really unfortunate. I finally managed to scrape together enough money to pay you back the interest, but as soon as I came in, those men outside robbed me of it. If you really need the money, why don't you go ask them if you can get it back?"
The man he was referring to was naturally one of Darius's men.
Upon hearing this, the man's face immediately darkened, and he blinked, saying, "Why should I help you get your money back when it was stolen from you?"
Darius's men, relying on the Moping Group, have always acted with impunity. Who in this area hasn't been robbed?
Seeing his fear, Lyon quickly said, "In that case, please give me a few more days, boss, so I can raise the money for you again. Otherwise, I'll have to take you to the door now and see if they're willing to pay back the money."
Lyon, at such a young age, was able to survive in the slums, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve, especially given his extremely serious personality.
Someone once stole his things, and this guy targeted him and retaliated against him more than ten times.
The matter was only resolved when they finally forced the person to leave the place.
The man had no doubt that if he simply nodded, Leon would immediately take him to ask for the money.
But isn't that just courting death?
His expression changed slightly, and he pouted in dissatisfaction, saying, "Fine, fine, I'll give you three more days. I'll be here on time in three days!"
"good!"
Leon nodded vigorously, and only after watching him leave did he breathe a sigh of relief and carefully enter the tent.
Upon seeing him, Li Ruo finally felt relieved and asked with some concern, "Did something happen? Why are you so late?"
Having failed to buy the medicine and having his bracelet stolen, Leon felt extremely guilty and immediately lowered his head in silence upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Li Ruo became even more puzzled: "What exactly happened?"
Lyon's face flushed red, and after a long silence, he stammered, "I... I was accidentally captured, and I escaped when they weren't looking."
Li Ruo was shocked: "How did you get arrested? Who arrested you?"
Lyon fell silent again.
Seeing his dejected appearance, Li Ruo became even more worried: "Did you offend someone before, or were you arrested by creditors or someone like just now?"
"no……"
Lyon didn't dare look at her at all, and just shook his head silently.
Li Ruo became a little anxious: "Then who is it? A street thug? A pawnshop owner? Or a pharmacy clerk?"
She went through all the people she thought were possible, since Leon was holding her expensive bracelet, which would have attracted a lot of attention and people would want to take it for themselves.
Seeing that Li Ruo was really angry, Leon lowered his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me that my people were taken away."
