"Dark sewers, dirty work, we are doing opium extraction for Jue, which is the primary processing of drugs, which is illegal."
"'Jue' is a drug?" Su Wanqing's eyes suddenly widened.
Tuo nodded: "Drugs, smuggling, arms, casinos, as long as they are huge profits, there is nothing that will not be involved. This is something that the whole of Japan knows."
"What about the sewers?"
"Sister, don't underestimate the underground pipeline system of this city. There are unexplainable dirty transactions in it." The sarcasm on Tuo's face was unmistakable, "Because I need money to treat my mother, that's why I chose
Such a dangerous job."
"It's a pity -" Tuo's face darkened, "Mom is still dead."
"I'm sorry." Su Wanqing lowered her head.
She suddenly understood that this child was exposing his scars and bringing up sad past events just to convince her to save his mother.
"Thank you, Tuo. I know what to do."
A faint smile appeared on Tuo's face. He was already very beautiful, but with such a smile, he looked like an evil spirit.
"Su Wanqing."
"What?" The boy was puzzled.
"My Chinese name." Su Wanqing smiled lightly, "There is also a Japanese name, Izawa Saori, but I don't like it."
Tuo was very happy that she could take the initiative to tell him her name.
"Sister Wanqing." He called out, which sounded very smooth to him.
"Let's rest for a while." Su Wanqing patted Tuo's head.
Tuo nodded and lay down on another tatami, his whole body huddled in the warm quilt, with only one head exposed.
"Sister Wanqing, can I always follow you?"
A glimmer of light flashed in his dark red eyes, and he longed for the woman in front of him.
Su Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "My world is very dangerous. You are still young, so I may not be able to take care of you."
She was telling the truth. She had been saved by this child and did not want him to be in danger.
"I'm not afraid." Tuo's face flashed with pride, his eyes were like small animals, "Follow you, I can protect you."
Su Wanqing shook his head and said: "Children of your age should study hard in school and enjoy the happiest and most carefree time in their lives."
The light in Tuo's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Thank you for staying with me these two days. I will come back to see you when I solve the matter at hand." With that, Su Wanqing took out two gold cards from his coat pocket and placed them under Tuo's pillow.
The boy's heart became heavier and heavier, and the bond he had just formed was about to be untied again.
"Sister Wanqing, are you going to abandon me?" His voice was hoarse.
The two gold cards under the pillow turned into sharp knives, gouging out his heart.
This child, even when he is sad, still has a stubborn expression.
Su Wanqing's heart twitched hard. She could not imagine that this child had become dependent on her in such a short period of time.
give up?
Such a cruel word, does he think so?
She lifted up the quilt and entered his bed under Tuo's surprised gaze.
Su Wanqing stretched out her arms, hugged the boy who was so thin that only his bones were left, and comforted him softly: "No."
She hugged him and patted his shoulder gently.
Tuo's body stiffened, he didn't expect her to do this.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of heat spread from her ears to her face. Her body was warm, slightly sweet, and very sweet.
