In the end, Hui Shiqi and Hui Shiba were still unable to get the money back as they wished.
This was also foreseeable. Forget fake guns; even with real ones in hand, would they really shoot?
And Hui Yi's toughness was precisely based on this point.
"Getting you to repay the money is really tough, huh," Xiao Feng comnted.
Hui Yi said seriously, "Repaying the money is impossible; it's impossible to repay the money in this lifeti. I can't recite scriptures, so I can only scrape so money off my younger brothers to maintain my livelihood."
Xiao Feng was completely speechless, and he didn't want to deal with this guy anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys continue to stand guard; I'm heading back."
"Boss, wait a mont," Hui Yi stopped him and said, "Tomorrow morning, there's a farewell party for us at the temple. Can you find soone to take our place?"
Talking about serious matters, Hui Er chid in, "After all, we've lived here for decades. As we're leaving, we want to bid farewell to all our brothers."
"No problem," Xiao Feng readily agreed, sowhat looking forward to the sunrise so he could grab a small stool and sit down to watch the show.
He had a premonition that tomorrow's farewell party would be different from the usual sense of farewell parties.
As for who to send to keep watch, Xiao Feng thought Lin Zhiyan was the best choice.
She doesn't like noise, and her skills are pretty good, so she's the perfect candidate for this task.
Besides, even if sothing unexpected happens, Anping Temple is close by, and support can arrive in a few minutes.
With Lin Zhiyan's skills, she certainly wouldn't have to resort to giving up within just a few minutes.
...
The next morning, everyone packed their bags and prepared to return.
Once again, they rented a bus primarily considering Lin Jiaxuan in her current condition; she couldn't sit in an ordinary car, and an RV couldn't carry everyone at once, so the bus with sleeper seats was the only option.
"Xiao Jiaxuan, you'll have to cover the rental cost," Xiao Feng said, looking at Lin Jiaxuan as she was carried out.
Lin Jiaxuan rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.
"Brother Xiao Feng, what do you plan to do with Zhou Jinshan?" the little girl asked curiously, "You wouldn't let him stay here and starve, would you?"
Just as Xiao Feng was about to speak, two policen in uniform walked in and greeted Xiao Feng, "Brother Feng, Junxiong sent us to take him."
"Mhm," Xiao Feng nodded and turned to the little girl, saying, "Bring Zhou Jinshan out."
The little girl agreed and dragged Zhou Jinshan out like a dead dog.
Since he was caught, Zhou Jinshan practically hasn't had anything to eat, and now he's barely breathing, looking like he's about to collapse at any mont.
And the two policen who ca to take him were both tight with Di Junxiong.
Xiao Feng thought, since they're sending Zhou Jinshan to the police, it might as well be done by his disciple as a favor.
Xiao Feng called the two policen over and explained the details.
When he ntioned the amount involved, the two policen jumped up like they'd sat on a nail, exclaiming, "How many kids must have been trafficked for this much!"
"I asked him, but he said he couldn't rember and never kept count," Xiao Feng replied indifferently.
"A person like this deserves to be chopped to pieces!" one of the policen said furiously but then awkwardly chuckled upon realizing that such words didn't suit his position.
The other policeman glanced at the heap of mud that was Zhou Jinshan and found any trace of sympathy vanishing.
A person like this deserves this kind of outco!
Parents who lost their children would spend all their savings, searching globally, living like vagabonds.
Yet traffickers, when caught, are treated well with good food and drink—how does that make sense?
After the police took away Zhou Jinshan, Zhao Guo'an said to Xiao Feng, "I thought you'd take matters into your own hands and just kill him."
Xiao Feng shook his head, "I did consider it. But killing him straight away felt too easy on him.
Moreover, the police might extract so clues from him that could help the abducted children return ho.
If he were killed, there would be no clues left. Besides, with the cris he's committed, there's no way he'd get out in his lifeti—he'll just be suffering."
"Brother Yanhuang, you think things through," Lu Yao nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xiao Feng's viewpoint.
Xiao Feng smiled, "We should also head to Anping Temple. Zhiyan, since you don't like crowds, why don't you take over for Hui Yi and the others, and help keep an eye on the things in the car?"
"Are we really that close?" Lin Zhiyan frowned slightly, "And how do you know I don't like crowds?"
Xiao Feng didn't like her attitude, "Did you take so mood-improving ds today? You're so explosive."
"Maybe," Lin Zhiyan sneered, "Didn't you say if soone offered you a billion you'd tie up and send over?
For soone as insignificant as , who can't complete such an important task, you'd be better off finding soone else."
However, perhaps because of "not seeing one's own illness,"
Lin Zhiyan didn't realize her words contained a strong hint of jealousy, at least to others, it sounded like she was indeed jealous.
Xiao Feng stated firmly, "You have to go because you're the most suitable."
"Why am I the most suitable?" Lin Zhiyan asked.
"Because you're beautiful, generous, forgiving, with a great sense of the bigger picture, good figure, nice skin, and great temperant." Xiao Feng said seriously, and there was no trace of jest or sarcasm.
"I…"
Lin Zhiyan was instantly speechless, unsure how to respond.
Because if she countered Xiao Feng's comnts, it would be like saying she's not beautiful, not generous, very vengeful, has no sense of the bigger picture, bad figure, poor skin, and terrible temperant.
"Really defeated by you!"
Lin Zhiyan sighed heavily, rolling her eyes at Xiao Feng constantly, but still handed her luggage to the little girl and headed out the door.
"Look at that, guys, look at that; this is what you call skill, settling it with just a few words," Xiao Feng said smugly.
"..." Everyone was speechless; what kind of skill was that?
At this point, the little girl mumbled discontentedly, "Brother Xiao Feng, I and Sister Lu Yao aren't beautiful, not generous…what was the rest?"
Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle, pinched the little girl's nose, and laughed, "What's with you jumping in? Co on, co on; ti to watch the show."
"A show?" The little girl's eyes lit up, "What kind of show?"
"You'll find out soon," Xiao Feng teased, leading the group out of the alley to the bus, heading straight to Anping Temple.
But he didn't know, just as they were about to disappear at the alley's corner, the neighbor brother walked out from the door, looking at the alley mouth and sighed with a sense of loss, "They're finally…gone."
Literate-wise, it looked like he was hoping for Xiao Feng and the others to leave, but from the tone, it wasn't entirely as such.
The brother had gotten used to sleeping in frightful suspense, believing that tonight he might have to spend another sleepless night.
