Chapter 225: Enemies should be knotted but not solved
Chapter 225 It’s better to make enemies than to dissolve them
In the afternoon of the next day, Chai Yan was taking a nap in his dormitory when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door and a man with a rough voice calling his name.
Chai Yan immediately heard that the person calling the door was Sun Xingba.
"Hey, this silly guy kept his promise and sent the money over so quickly!" Chai Yan sat up.
"Coming, coming..."
Then, Chai Yan opened the courtyard door while answering, and Sun Xingba stood alone outside the door. His two dog legs were nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Sun Xingba frowned, looked at Chai Yan very unhappy, and complained: "It took me a long time to call the Tianmen, why did it open? Did you do it on purpose?"
Chai Yan pointed to the sun above his head and said: "Hey, look at the time, is it lunch break time now?"
Sun Xingba deliberately chose to come to Chai Yan during his lunch break. He didn't want others to see him coming to Chai Yan.
Sun Xingba stretched out his big hand and pushed the door open, then walked into the courtyard. As he walked, he looked around and said, "You are a library reader. You have done nothing all day long, why do you still need to take a nap?"
Chai Yan was happy when he saw this, and turned around and asked, "What's the matter? You're not here to give money, but are you here to cause trouble?"
Sun Xingba turned around and frowned: "Hey, can you close the door first?"
Chai Yan wanted to see what he wanted to do, so he closed the door and walked towards Sun Xingba.
Sun Xingba then took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, stretched out his hand and handed it over, saying: "Here, here are five hundred taels! I, Sun Xingba, never break my promise!"
While speaking, Sun Xingba's face was facing away, with a very reluctant expression.
"Oh, I'm really here to give you money..."
Chai Yan smiled happily when he saw the banknotes. He took them without hesitation and counted them. Five of them were one hundred taels, which was exactly five hundred taels.
When Sun Xingba saw Chai Yan receiving the banknote, he reminded him: "Chai Yan, since you accepted the banknote, we will settle everything yesterday!"
"Of course!" After Chai Yan put the banknote in his arms, he patted it through his clothes and said, "Let's not trespass when we get into water in the future!"
Sun Xingba didn't reply, but just nodded. He now knew that Chai Yan was not easy to mess with, so he naturally understood this truth.
Chai Yan originally thought that Sun Xingba would leave after giving him the money, but Sun Xingba stood in the yard and showed no intention of leaving.
Chai Yan then asked: "Is there anything else?"
Sun Xingba looked at the door of the courtyard again, and after making sure there was no one there, he hesitated and whispered: "My grandfather...he said...he said he wanted me...
..thank you...thank you..."
"What?" Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly, and immediately repeated loudly: "Thank me? Your grandfather asked you to thank me?"
"You, you, you...please keep your voice down!"
Sun Xingba's face suddenly turned pale. If someone passing by outside heard this, it would be very embarrassing...
Sun Xingba finally worked up the courage to say this, and Chai Yan deliberately repeated it loudly. Was he afraid that others wouldn't know?
Chai Yan didn't expect Sun Xingba to have such a funny look, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you want to thank me?"
Sun Xingba did not look at Chai Yan, but still looked elsewhere, and said truthfully: "My grandfather said that you gave me the steps and saved our family's face. He has to thank you!"
Chai Yan frowned immediately, and he began to figure out the meaning of these words. Did General Sun mean it in a positive way, or was he deliberately saying something ironic?
"I've said all I have to say, I'm leaving!"
Sun Xingba said the unspeakable words and gave him the banknote. Now he couldn't stay any longer.
"Go slowly, don't send me off!" Chai Yan would not leave him to drink tea and chat.
Not long after Sun Xingba left, Hang Baiqiu appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"Chai Yan, did Sun Xingba come to see you just now?" Hang Baiqiu happened to see Sun Xingba leaving when he came.
Chai Yan let Hang Baiqiu into the courtyard and said, "Yeah, didn't we just leave? Did you meet him?"
"Did he cause trouble for you?" Hang Baiqiu asked.
Sun Xingba and Chai Yan had a feud, and now almost the entire Wude Department knew about it, so Hang Baiqiu naturally had this question.
"No, he came to me specifically to apologize..." Chai Yan said with an exaggerated expression: "He said he offended me because he was too blind to see Taishan before. I hope that I, sir, have enough skills to be able to
Tolerate and forgive his recklessness and ignorance! I was hesitant at first, no
Later I met him and he was quite sincere. Besides, I am not a grudge-bearing person, so I forgave him... As the saying goes, it is better to make enemies than to dissolve them. One less enemy and one less wall.
.....Sir Hang, do you think what I did was right?"
Hang Baiqiu said in disbelief: "He, Sun Xingba? Came here to apologize to you? Ha, how is that possible..."
Chai Yan shrugged, flattened his shoulders and said, "How is it impossible? That's the fact!"
Seeing that Hang Baiqiu still looked unbelievable, Chai Yan quickly changed the subject and asked: "Sir Hang, you came to see me during lunch break. There must be something important, right? Is there another prisoner who refuses to confess and needs me?
Helped?"
Hearing Chai Yan ask about the reason for his visit, Hang Baiqiu immediately put aside the matter of Sun Xingba.
"Chai Yan, I do need your help, but it's not that the prisoner refuses to confess, but..." Hang Baiqiu suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and his expression became serious.
Seeing the sudden change in her expression, Chai Yan knew that something was important, and immediately said: "Sir Hang, if you have anything to say, go inside and talk about it!"
Soon, Hang Baiqiu followed Chai Yan to the first floor of the library.
Hang Baiqiu asked when he entered the door: "I heard that you and Li Sizhi went out to handle the case two days ago. You were the one who found the whereabouts of those cunning dark sect members, right?"
"It's me, what's wrong?" Chai Yan nodded. He knew that Hang Baiqiu must have inquired carefully before coming to find him.
Hang Baiqiu said very cautiously: "Chai Yan, I have a good friend. She...she has encountered a difficult situation recently. Can you help me?"
"Sir Hang, if you have anything to do, just tell me, and I will help you if I can!" Chai Yan kept thinking about Hang Baiqiu's kindness, so he had no intention of shirk.
"Chai Yan, I must remind you in advance that my friend's identity is very special. Once you get involved in this matter, you must keep your mouth shut, otherwise the consequences..." Hang Baiqiu stopped talking here.
He just shook his head with a serious expression.
Chai Yan smiled slightly: "Sir Hang, don't worry, I've always been very strict with my mouth!"
When Hang Baiqiu saw that Chai Yan agreed without any hesitation, his face immediately became much more relaxed, and he nodded and said: "After evening, there is a Xu's Restaurant around the corner two miles to the east. Let's meet there!"
"Xu's Restaurant, remember it!" Chai Yan repeated, remembering this place firmly.
