"Have you found out?"
In a normal looking house, Situ Jin's face was gloomy as he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood right now. Upon sweeping his gaze over the surroundings, a group of people immediately kneeled down …
"Master, please calm your anger. This lowly one …" This lowly one is useless! "
The silver-haired old doctor tremblingly kneeled on the ground, kowtowing in fear and trepidation.
He was originally an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, but because he was old, he returned home. Three days ago, someone suddenly came to him and tied him up in a shitty little town. At first, he thought he had met a bandit who robbed money and took his life.
Unexpectedly …
Who would have thought that he would really meet her …
This Situ Jin was even more terrifying than bandits.
Although he didn't rob money, but … However, he was dying. Not only did he want his own life, he might not even be able to save his family's.
"What!"
Turning around, he looked at Old Lady Wang with a cold gaze. Situ Jin's tone suddenly became a few times louder, "Useless things. You talk big all the time. There's nothing in the sky or on the ground, but it's useless at critical moments!"
Three days ago, when he woke up from his stupor, he found that the little girl had disappeared along with a pile of banknotes. However, the wounds on his body had truly healed. Such a big wound had actually healed so quickly … It wasn't that he hadn't thought of seeing what was going on with the doctor … However, he had to keep the fact that he was injured a secret. He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart … However, that strange little white piece, he still couldn't help but get someone to find Old Lady Wang …
Of course, he didn't have it, right? The note from Ninth Madame showed it to Old Lady Wang. She only took out a small white card and showed it to him so he could study it.
What he did not expect was that even Old Doctor Wang did not know what it was.
"Master, please calm your anger …" "Little me, I really don't know …"
With sweat pouring down like rain, Old Lady Wang was so scared that she kowtowed.
He had returned to his hometown for five to six years, and these years, he had been held high in the hands of others. No matter where he went, he would always be supported by countless people, and he had almost forgotten the feeling of having his life in their hands. After returning to his hometown, the first thing he thought of was to walk away so that he wouldn't get into any trouble, but … But he had clearly already hidden so far away, how could he … How did he get found out by someone … Furthermore … Furthermore, this person was actually a murderer if he didn't feel up to it …
"Humph!" Useless thing, after looking at it for two days, I still don't know what it is! What do you think you're doing alive! "
Although Jiu Niang didn't explain it clearly, since she let him eat it, Situ Jin believed that it must be related to his injuries.
But... But when he thought about how that little girl would directly use a medicine to cover his wounds, he couldn't help but...
Originally, he wanted to see if Old Doctor Wang could eat it, but … However, he didn't expect that even Old Lady Wang didn't know what this thing was …
"Please spare me, please spare me!"
Old Lady Wang was so scared that she kowtowed, tears rolling down her face.
His body, which had been raised like a noble child all these years, was so round that with a kowtow, he almost fell down and rolled away.
He only had one thought in his mind, and that was: If he can still live well this time, then … Then he must find a more secretive place so that no one will be able to find him …
"Humph!" "Scram!"
Useless thing, what's the use if you don't know? He didn't believe that he couldn't find that girl even after digging three feet deep into the ground!
Situ Jin coldly snorted. Yet, old lady Wang felt like she was being pardoned …
"Mistress!" Someone has appeared! "
A black shadow flashed and kneeled beside Situ Jin. The figure was so cold that it seemed to have no emotions.
They had been specially trained as Death Soldiers. They had no emotions, no thoughts, and only needed to complete the mission according to their master's request.
Situ Jin had never liked them getting close to him, but ever since he was injured, he had to be even more careful.
"What?" Where is it? "
He appeared? She actually appeared?
After waiting for ten days, she had finally appeared. If she did not appear now, he would have given up.
To be honest, staying in such a small desolate place like this would drive anyone crazy.
However, he never expected this little girl to be so tolerant. He thought that with her mischievous appearance, once she received the banknotes, she would immediately exchange them for silver. However, he never expected that she would wait for ten days in a row … This little girl was really patient. Situ Jin's opinion of her had increased by a few notches … "Not bad, not bad. He really is someone who has made me wait for so long. He is indeed a bit different from ordinary people …
"Little girl, please wait a moment! Sit over here, we'll give you the exchange right away. "
The head storekeeper personally came out to greet Jiu Niang. With a smile on his face, he bowed and invited her into the inner room. Although Nona was somewhat puzzled, she did not say much. She only obediently followed him in and then openly sat down …
"Thank you, Manager."
She counted the silver notes left behind by that man and found it to be twelve thousand taels of silver. He really was a tycoon. Just a casual toss of this amount of silver was enough to crush a person to death. She had spent two whole days and nights at home before confirming that she did have silver notes in her hands. She was not dreaming. After that, he waited for a few days to make sure no one would come knocking before coming out to exchange.
Furthermore, she did not dare to exchange so many banknotes at once. She only drew the smallest banknote, which was one hundred taels.
But... However, he didn't expect that the 100 or so shopkeepers would be so enthusiastic.
If I had known …" Well, it would have been useless if he had known earlier, because the smallest denomination was a hundred taels. Fine, she decided. If she were to exchange for more next time, she would have to find a bigger place. Otherwise …
Sitting at the table, Nona's mind was racing.
A hundred liang is indeed a lot for ordinary people, but … Unknowingly, he had become a rich man …
Chase Bank!
Yes, these banknotes were all from the Chase Bank.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the banknotes and the safety of the Chase Bank, Nona even spent some time asking many questions. As a result, the Chase Bank was absolutely safe. It was the largest bank in the country, and most of the places had a semicolon...
Only after confirming her reliability did she dare to visit.
After all, he was just a young lady. If he didn't get any silver coins by then, he would just be causing trouble for himself.
She had never thought that she would cause so much trouble by exchanging money. However, it wasn't because she had too much money, but …
"Humph!" Ben... I've finally found you! Ugly girl, let's see where you can run to! "
Without waiting for the guards, Situ Jin took a few steps forward, grabbed onto Jiu Niang's clothes and lifted her up as he glared at her.
It was all because of this little girl!
He actually dared to drug her with sweat medicine! This was the first time in his eighteen years of life that he had fallen into the hands of a little girl. Just thinking about it made him feel aggrieved.
"You … You... Why are you here? "
Upon seeing the person in front of her, Jiu Niang's expression changed drastically. She looked dejectedly at the pitch-black guy in front of her. "We made a deal, you can't go back on your word!"
Unable to worry about her own safety, Jiu Niang wrapped her arms around herself and tightly protected the banknotes in her pocket.
Wuu wuu, this was too despicable. He had clearly said that he would be the one to obtain the silver taels after saving him. She didn't expect that fellow to go back on his word. She knew that he would give her so much money, so how could he just give it to her so easily … Nona's heart ached as if someone had cut her flesh …
"Humph!" "Ugly girl, let's settle our old debts together today!"
Gritting his teeth as he stared at Jiu Niang, Situ Jin's teeth itched with hatred.
It was all the fault of this ugly girl. No one knew what method she used, but his wounds did heal in the first two days. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even bleed a bit. But slowly, he discovered that his injuries didn't seem to be completely healed, especially the last two nights. Every day, he would feel pain, causing him to be unable to sleep at all for the entire night.
When he thought about how he had been confused by an ugly girl using a camouflage medicine and had fallen for her trick, he actually believed that a little girl like her had the ability to heal his wounds … She actually had the nerve to swagger over to exchange money … The more he thought about it, the more Situ Jin hated him!
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? What did it mean to settle old and new accounts together? We agreed that the silver would go to me if I saved you. You're not going back on your word now, are you? "
She tightly protected the banknotes in her pocket and screamed out in fear.
What a joke. In order to save him, he had spent so much money and even exchanged for anti-inflammatory medicine. He had almost emptied most of the medicinal ingredients in his space. However, if he went back on his word and tried to snatch the banknotes back …
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Gritting her teeth, she shouted at Situ Jin, "How shameless of you, we already paid double the price. Now that you're so good, you still want to go back and snatch the money? How shameless!"
Yes, he really was a shameless person. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have saved such a person.
What he didn't know was that in order to exchange for that anti-inflammatory medicine, all of the medicinal materials that he had spent so much effort to find were gone … Some medicinal ingredients were still extremely rare, and it was unknown when they would be completely replenished …
"You … You... You think I want silver? "
Carrying Jiu Niang, Situ Jin clenched his teeth as he shouted out word by word. At the same time, he glared at her as if he was going to eat her.
Did her eyes see that he was going to steal her silver?
A mere 10,000 silver was a drop in the bucket to him; he had no idea that he had waited so many days.
"Difficult... Isn't it? "Huff … Huff …" You scared me to death. So you didn't come to rob me of my silver. "Then you should have said it earlier. Seriously, it scared me to death!"
After staring at Situ Jin for a long time, Nona was sure that he really wasn't here to snatch the silver. She couldn't help but to let out a breath of relief. "Alright, alright. Let me down. As long as you aren't here to snatch the silver from me, it's fine."
Yes, yes, to her, the most important thing was the silver. As long as they weren't here to snatch it from her, anything was fine.
"Is that so? Is anything okay? " Staring coldly at Jiu Niang, Situ Jin's lips curled up into a sneer. Revealing his white teeth, he stared at her sinisterly, "What if I say I want your life?"
