"With my hard work, I not only got admitted to a prestigious university, but also won a first-class scholarship every year. Plus the money I earned from working and studying in my spare time, I was much richer than the average student at that time." Bai Lin
Said proudly.
"Awesome!" Lei Ren gave Bai Lin a thumbs up. Such a self-improving woman deserves his encouragement.
Bai Lin changed the topic, her expression suddenly dimmed, and she said in a low voice: "I don't ask for a penny from my family every month, and I send money back to my family from time to time, but what I didn't expect is that my family doesn't
Being rich because of these things, on the contrary..." At this point, Bai Lin's voice couldn't help but choke.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I won't force you." Lei Ren said softly.
"It doesn't matter! It's been a long time since it happened. It will be better if you tell me." Bai Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said firmly, "While I kept sending money out, my family's financial situation also improved little by little.
It got better, but what I didn’t expect was that my dad didn’t do anything serious after he got rich. Instead, he used the money to gamble. At the beginning, the gambling was not big.
, and he would win some from time to time, so he became more interested in gambling. As time went by, the more he gambled, the more he gambled, from five yuan, ten yuan at the beginning, to one hundred yuan, two hundred yuan later... The result was over.
For more than a year, he not only lost all the money I sent him, but also lost the house in his hometown. Now he is hiding here and there in order to avoid debts, and is living a life that is not human."
At this time, Bai Lin's face was filled with tears, and her choked voice was full of sadness. Lei Ren could understand that a woman who was so miserable could do such things.
"Okay, wipe your tears! The nightmare will be over soon. What you should be thinking about now is how to get your dad to quit his gambling addiction. Otherwise, even if I help you this time, he will fall into someone else's trap again."
Lei Ren said calmly.
Bai Lin nodded gently. What Lei Ren said was true, but when she thought about her father's deep-rooted gambling addiction, she felt dizzy and had no choice. She was completely different from the resourceful female assistant in the shopping mall.
Seeing Bai Lin's painful look, Lei Ren couldn't bear to push this poor woman anymore, and said softly: "Forget it! We'd better go and deal with your matter first. Then, if it doesn't work, you can
Get your dad to go to Chengdu and use a different environment to quit gambling."
"Yes!" Bai Lin nodded. No matter whether this method was feasible or not, she was very grateful for what Thunder Blade had done for her.
"It's still half an hour before the ghost city. I see that your face is haggard. You probably didn't sleep well last night. You can sleep for a while! I'll wake you up when we get to the city." Lei Ren said.
Bai Lin really didn't sleep well last night thinking about today's events. Coupled with the mental torture she had suffered these past few days, she was really sleepy. Bai Lin nodded gently, leaned on the seat, and slowly
Closed his eyes.
Perhaps it was the sense of security that Lei Ren carried with her that made her feel safer than she had ever felt before. Bai Lin gradually fell asleep, and a slight snore slowly came from the corner of her mouth.
"This woman is really too tired." Lei Ren glanced at Bai Lin who was sleeping next to him, shook his head helplessly, and continued to drive towards the ghost capital.
…
"Bang!"
Bai Lin had just slept peacefully when the car suddenly stopped. Under the action of inertia, her whole body was knocked forward in an instant. Fortunately, when she got into the car, Lei Ren reminded her to fasten her seat belt, otherwise her head would have hit the blocker.
Not on the windshield.
"Lei Ren, what happened?" Bai Lin saw Lei Ren looking ahead with an unkind look on his face, and couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"We encountered a roadblock." Lei Ren snorted coldly.
On some arterial roads, some people deliberately scatter thumbtacks on the ground to puncture your tires in order to get money, and then force you to go to their auto repair shop to replace inferior tires. They then make a huge profit from the price difference.
Undoubtedly, Thunder Blade has encountered this situation now.
Fortunately, Lei Ren discovered it early and stepped on the brakes before hitting the thumbtack, but even so, those roadblocks were not ready to let this big fish go. Before Lei Ren got out of the car, a shirtless man
Just walked over here.
Bai Lin knew they were not good people when she saw the tattoos on his body. After all, most people still wouldn't have messy tattoos on their bodies.
"What should we do now?" Bai Lin asked worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lei Ren comforted him.
Somehow, after hearing Lei Ren's words, Bai Lin's panic miraculously calmed down and she gave him a trusting look.
"Boss, the car broke down?" the man asked Lei Ren with a smile on his face.
"The tire is punctured by nails, can it be repaired?" Lei Ren sneered.
"Yes, of course I can!" The man turned around and shouted inside, "Gou Sheng, Da Hua, work has started!"
Two young men with crew cuts ran out from inside with tools. They circled around the car first, and then without looking, they started to take off two of the tires very quickly, and then carried them one by one.
One of them ran towards the shop.
"Boss, come in and have a rest. There is air conditioning and ice water inside, which is provided for free." The man took the initiative to open the door for Lei Ren and said with a smile on his face.
Lei Ren turned to look at Bai Lin beside him and winked at her.
"Then let's take a rest!" Bai Lin opened the car door and got out of the car, followed Lei Ren and walked in.
Lei Ren and Bai Lin walked behind, and the man led them in front.
"Lei Ren, why do I think there's something wrong here?" Bai Lin whispered to Lei Ren when the man wasn't paying attention.
"It's okay, let's go in and drink a glass of water first." Lei Ren shook his head, indicating that he was there and Bai Lin didn't need to be nervous.
The two followed the man into the bungalow and came to a room inside. As he just said, the air conditioning was really on and there was a refrigerator in the corner.
"Boss, Miss, please sit down for a while!" The man greeted the two of them warmly, and brought each of them a bottle of frozen mineral water from the refrigerator. Bai Lin couldn't help but have an illusion, and secretly lamented the service of this place.
It's really good. Could it be that I made a mistake?
"How long will it take to repair it?" Bai Lin couldn't help but ask.
"Half an hour." The man replied, "But..."
"But what?" Bai Lin asked with a frown.
"Miss, please give me the money to repair the tire first." The man was still smiling, but the lust that flashed in Bai Lin's eyes did not escape Lei Ren's gaze.
Bai Lin was a little taken aback and said dissatisfiedly: "People usually give money after repairing the car. The rules here seem to be different?"
"Miss, you don't know something. Originally, I wanted to wait for the car to be repaired before asking for money, but my gang is really disobedient. They are unwilling to do anything without receiving money. Originally, half an hour would be enough to repair a tire.
But they can delay it for a long time." The man explained with a smile, but there was a threat in his words, "I think you don't want to wait so long, for your consideration, I have to collect the money first."
"Why are you like this?" Bai Lin was a little annoyed. Isn't this a clear threat to herself?
"How much?" Lei Ren waved his hand towards Bai Lin and asked calmly.
The man stretched out a finger towards Thunder Blade.
"One hundred yuan?" Bai Lin frowned even more. She used to pay twenty or thirty yuan for tire repairs. This was obviously blackmailing them.
"Miss, you misunderstood, it's not a hundred yuan." The man shook his head and said.
"Ten yuan? Impossible?" Bai Lin thought the price was too cheap and asked in disbelief.
"Miss, it's one thousand yuan." The man cursed in his heart. This woman is really big-breasted and brainless. Ten yuan is not enough to buy these bottles of mineral water!
"What? A thousand?" Even though Bai Lin was concerned about her image, she jumped up in anger at the man's words. She glared at the man angrily and asked, "Why don't you go and rob?"
"Miss, robbery is illegal, and we don't do illegal things." The man looked calm, and he didn't feel surprised at all by Bai Lin's reaction. After all, this was not the first time he encountered this kind of situation.
Lei Ren interrupted the two people's questions and asked the man calmly: "Is a thousand dollars enough? I have a punctured tire."
Hearing Lei Ren's words, the man was obviously stunned, thinking that this man is even more stupid than that woman. I have so many more friends, and this is the first time I have seen such an idiot. He immediately shook his head and said: "Of course it's not enough, boss. A tire
One thousand yuan, two tires should be 2,000 yuan. Although I, Mazi, have not read much, I am stupid enough to calculate one plus one, equal to two."
After hearing what the man said, Bai Lin wanted to slap that man in the face immediately. However, before she could take action, she saw a cold light flashing in front of her eyes, and then there was a crisp sound.
Not only did Bai Lin fail to react, but even the man who was slapped was stunned.
I have seen cruel people, but I have never seen such cruel people. I had no preparation. He took action as soon as he said it, without even saying a cruel word. It was really cruel!
The man recovered from the shock and touched the area where he had been slapped. It was burning and painful. He knew that there was swelling there without even looking.
"Boy, do you know what you just did?" the man said coldly.
Lei Ren smiled nonchalantly and said, "I just taught a blind mad dog a lesson."
"You are looking for death!" A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "I want you to leave something behind today. I, Mazi, will stop wandering around in the world from now on."
Lei Ren said calmly: "Jianghu? Do you think a scum like you deserves to use these two words?"
"Grass mud horse, don't show off to me. I'll beat you to the point where your parents don't even recognize you. Then you'll know whether I'm worthy or not." The bald man waved his big hand and shouted toward the door, "Goucheng, you're so big."
Hua, there are people who don't obey the rules. You call some people to teach them and teach them the rules."
