There is an old neighborhood called Xiao Alley in Qingyang District, Nanfeng City. The houses here have a bit more history than the Nanfeng community where Gu Xin lives.
Gu Xin walked into the dilapidated alley and smelled a disgusting rancid smell. Gu Jun and Li Hanyang covered their noses. Although Gu Xin did not move, his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily, searching for the smell.
Looking around, there was a rotting cat corpse in a corner not far away, with countless green flies hovering over the corpse, making a buzzing sound.
"Damn it, why didn't anyone clean it up?" Li Hanyang almost vomited.
Then the three of them ran quickly past the pile of rotten meat. The longer they stood, the more they suffered.
The three of them came to an old three-story building. Gu Jun said, "This is right here. I saw that girl go in."
Gu Xin knocked on the door, and then a handsome woman in plain clothes opened the door. When she saw the three of Gu Xin, she was obviously stunned. Then she saw the menacing looks of Gu Jun and Li Hanyang, and closed the door in panic.
Gu Jun had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he suddenly pushed against the door panel, and then frightened the woman and took a few steps back in fear.
Gu Xin stopped Gu Jun and said to the woman: "Don't be afraid, we are here to find someone."
"You...who are you looking for?" The woman looked nervous, because Gu Jun and Li Hanyang were dressed like gangsters in society, and the tattoos faintly revealed in their clothes made the woman stutter.
Gu Xin smiled slightly and said, "Don't be nervous, we don't mean any harm."
Fortunately, Gu Xin looked very gentle. If he had the same fierce face as Gu Jun Li Hanyang, as if someone owed him millions, the woman might be frightened and cry. Seeing that Gu Xin's tone was calm, the woman would feel a little more at ease.
The woman bravely asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Gu Xin looked at the woman with strange eyes, and said with some surprise: "We are looking for you."
Gu Jun and Li Hanyang looked stunned, and then looked at the woman carefully. The more they looked at the woman, the more surprised they became. Li Hanyang shouted in a daze: "Are you that woman?!"
Gu Jun looked at the woman strangely. It was hard to imagine that the woman who was previously dressed in a fashionable and coquettish style was now a poor woman in rather shabby clothes. She was really a prostitute outside but a simple young woman at home!
When the woman heard that Gu Xin said he was looking for her, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she begged bitterly: "Brother, please give me two more days of grace. I really don't have any money now. I will definitely be able to pay it back in a few days."
Gu Xin frowned involuntarily. Seeing this, this woman regarded the three of him as debtors. Gu Xin's heart suddenly moved, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said coldly: "How long has this been going on? You
How long will it take?"
Gu Jun and Li Hanyang were not fools. They knew Gu Xin's intention immediately. Li Hanyang snorted coldly: "Tell you, if you don't pay back the money, I will stamp your finger today!"
When the woman saw Gu Xin, the 'debt collector', she immediately changed her face when she heard that she had no money. Her delicate body trembled involuntarily, and her voice also trembled: "Three eldest brothers, just give me a few days' grace. I am currently dating a girl."
The man with the money is getting better, I will get the money to pay you back in a few days."
Gu Xin walked over, looked down at the panicked woman, and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, today is the deadline. If you can't pay the money, do you know the consequences?"
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she pleaded pitifully: "I know, but please give me five more days, no, three days, just three days. I will definitely get the money after three days."
Gu Xin walked into the house and found that the furnishings in the house were very simple, but the cleaning was relatively clean. When the woman saw Gu Xin and the other two people walking in, Gu Jun locked the door behind her. The woman's face turned pale, but she still hurriedly entered the house to help her.
Gu Xin and the others poured water, and then took out a bag of crumpled soft Chinese food and handed it to Gu Xin and the others.
Seeing the woman's pitiful and sad look, Gu Xin sighed in his heart, he was still not cruel enough! Gu Xin's tone was a little gentler: "Forget it, I see you are pitiful, so, you can do something for us.
I'll help you delay it for a few days."
Seeing my change of attitude, the woman's eyes were filled with joy. She was at a loss and handed Gu Xin another cigarette and water, which made Gu Xin dumbfounded. Then Gu Xin asked: "Do you know a person named Hou Jianye?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes were full of worry and anxiety: "Brother, I know that man named Hou Jianye. He was introduced by a friend. I was planning to get some money from him to repay you, but brother..."
Gu Xin glanced at the woman and thought that maybe the woman was afraid that she would have to deal with Hou Jianye and that her goal of making money would be wiped out, so she had such an expression. Gu Xin stopped the woman from speaking and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry.
, you can still get money as usual, we will help you get money when necessary, you just need to listen to us."
The woman felt a little relieved after hearing what Gu Xin said, and then Gu Xin asked strangely: "Do you usually go out wearing clothes like this?"
When the woman heard this, her face turned red and she said, "I only have two or three sets of clothes that I can wear out. I'm afraid of getting them dirty at home, so I don't dare to wear them. Besides, I don't usually have people here, so I don't pay attention.
These."
Gu Xin nodded, lit a crumpled Chinese cigarette, and said to the woman: "Tell me more about what happened between you and Hou Jianye."
The woman nodded, and then said: "Hou Jianye and I were introduced by others. Later, this old ghost coveted my beauty, and I was short of money, so we got together secretly. The semester at Southwest University started some time ago, so Hou Jianye was not free.
Come here, otherwise I won't be able to pay you back. Hou Jianye contacted me last night and asked me to go to Jinshun Hotel, but this stingy old guy didn't give me a penny. He just said that he would buy me Hermès next time.
, so I don’t have any money now.”
Come on, Gu Xin murmured in his heart. This woman was still thinking about explaining to him the reason why she had no money. Gu Xin was wondering who this woman owed money to. Seeing how scared the woman was, it seemed that it must be a loan shark. But what exactly did this woman owe?
Gu Xin didn't know how much money he had made to end up selling his body to make money.
Because he didn't know the woman's name, and Gu Xin couldn't ask, as he would definitely betray her if he asked, so he could only say, "What are you talking about," and the woman didn't show any doubt.
Gu Xin asked again: "Did Hou Jianye tell you when he would see you again?"
The woman asked cautiously: "Brother, are you seeking revenge from Hou Jianye?"
Gu Xin said calmly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Although Gu Xin's tone was calm, the woman was still too timid to ask any more questions. Perhaps in the woman's heart, Gu Xin and the others were almost like devils, and the most important thing was that she couldn't resist at all, so she couldn't help but not be afraid.
Gu Xin actually wanted to force the woman to help him, but he was accidentally mistaken by the woman as a debt collector, so Gu Xin used the trick to successfully achieve his goal.
Gu Xin does not discriminate against a woman who wants to sell her body. On the contrary, she has some sympathy. If a female prostitute has no power, she cannot help herself in many situations. If the woman's real creditor comes to the door, what will happen to the woman?
It will never be easy to face yourself.
However, for an ideal and moral young man like Gu Xin, it was really uncomfortable to force a poor woman like this. Gu Xin thought to himself that when his goal was achieved, he would help this woman by the way.
In order to have stable control, Gu Xin asked Li Hanyang to go out and investigate the woman's neighbor. He learned that the woman's name was Wu Qian and she was from the country. She had an unsatisfactory elder brother, a drug addict, who owed a large sum of money outside.
When being chased by the underworld for debts, Wu Qian put all her eldest brother's debts on her own shoulders in order to prevent her eldest brother from having his hand chopped off.
Those 'creditors' naturally approached Wu Qian and forced her to pay back the money. According to her neighbors, Wu Qian was often beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen.
When he heard the news, Gu Xin was in awe of Wu Qian. In this era, there are very few people who are willing to make sacrifices for their friends or relatives. Even if they are, they will be despised as 'idiots' by impetuous social groups.
, Gu Xin developed a respect for Wu Qian, a 'stupid' woman.
But what he didn't expect was that helping Wu Qian would come so quickly.
