“They might be carrying weapons. Let’s not be rash and figure out what they want first. I think they’ve been standing at the gate for more than an hour. If they’re looking for trouble, they definitely won’t wait so long. It’s more likely that they want to talk to us,” Luo Hui said earnestly.
“l think what Luo Hui says makes sense. I’ll go to the gate and talk to them,” Qiao Mei said.
“No! You can’t go! If anything happens, we won’t be able to save you. It’s better if I go and take a look,” Luo Yu said.
Luo Hui held back everyone and let Luo Yu go out alone. He walked up to the
group of people nervously and asked, “What are you doing at my house?”
The man in front raised his eyebrows and sized up Luo Yu carefully for a while before saying, “Are you… the male owner of this house?”
“Yes, who are you?” Luo Yu said firmly. He felt deeply apologetic towards Xia Zhe, but he had no other choice. In order to protect Qiao Mei and Xia He, he had no choice but to say this.
“Oh, alright. That girl is really blind to have fallen for such a classless man,” the man complained softly.
“Is there something you want?” Luo Yu asked with a slight frown.
“Go in and talk to your wife. Ask her if she still remembers the person she saved that day. If she does, then let me in. I’m here today to show my gratitude,” the man said mildly.
“There’s no need to show any gratitude. We don’t ask for anything in return for saving someone, She’ll be happy to see that you’re fine,” Luo Yu said.
“No, I never owe anyone a favor, especially not when the favor is saving my life. Since she’s afraid to meet me, then I’ll talk to you. You can ask me for anything and I’ll grant you the wish. But after this, don’t tell anyone about saving me or threaten me with this matter,” the man said fiercely.
“May I know your name?” Luo Yu asked.
“Everyone calls me John. You can call me that too. I’ll come and get your answer at this time tomorrow.” With that, John asked his guys behind him to drop a box at the gate and the group left in a grandiose manner.
Luo Yu picked up the box and gauged its weight. Then, he checked if there was any sound inside to make sure that it was not something like a bomb before bringing it into the house.
“What did they say?” Qiao Mei asked.
Luo Yu looked at Auntie Wang and the other women but did not say anything. Qiao Mei knew that this matter must be something out of the ordinary and that it was not convenient for Luo Yu to talk about it here. She left Auntie Wang and the other women to do housework downstairs while Luo Hui went outside to the courtyard to see if there were any suspicious people in the vicinity. Luo Yu carried the box and went into the study with Qiao Mei and Xia He.
Luo Yu placed the box on the table and Qiao Mei reached out to touch it gently.
There was money inside, about 100,000 dollars.
“Is it what I think it is?” Xia He asked excitedly.
“Probably. Open it and take a look,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Xia He slowly opened the box and saw that it was packed neatly with money.
She quickly picked up the banknotes and took a long sniff before saying in enjoyment, “This is the smell of money… This is too awesome…”
“The fact that this person can find us means that he’s very powerful around
here. Have you already found out who the local tyrant is?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Luo Yu.
“We’ve asked around, but most of the neighbors are unwilling to talk about these things. Butler Xu is actually more familiar with this matter. The gang in this area is called ‘Vicious Wolf’. I hear that the boss is a person who kills without batting an eyelid, but he distinguishes between the good guys and the bad guys and won’t attack the common people,” Luo Yu said.
Most of the gang members in “Vicious Wolf” were orphans who had experienced the darkest side of life. John had recruited them one by one. They only targeted capitalists and were very friendly to the common people.
“It looks like this guy John is their gang leader. Seems like we ended up saving some big shot,” Qiao Mei said melancholically.
“In that case, can we really request something from him?” Xia He asked.
“Let me think about it. It’s rare to encounter such a good opportunity, so we have to grab hold of it tightly. We can’t let it go. Otherwise, we’re missing a
good chance. Luo Yu, go and find out more about this ‘Vicious Wolf’ and how powerful they are. Get the information as soon as possible,” Qiao Mei said..
