As soon as Tong Chenglin finished speaking, the fair-skinned man hurriedly said:
"Oh, eldest son of the Tong family, you are such a noble person who forgets things so much."
"I think before July or August, when I asked a friend to do something for you, the two of us met several times."
"I didn't expect that you would forget about me after not seeing each other for so long."
"But it's okay. Last time the eldest son of the Tong family helped me with something, I still owed you three thousand taels of silver."
"Since you, the eldest son of the Tong family, have forgotten me as the rightful owner, I won't give you my three thousand taels of money."
"Goodbye."
After saying this, the fair-skinned man hurriedly waved to Tong Chenglin, turned around and walked towards the crowd in the distance.
Although Tong Chenglin did not know the fair man, his interest was instantly aroused by the three thousand taels of white money in the man's words.
After all, in this world, even if the Tong family is extremely powerful, sometimes silver coins are still hard currency.
Whether you are purchasing items or entrusting someone to do errands, it is essential.
And now that the man says he still owes me three thousand taels of money, how can I not refuse it?
Regardless of whether he knows the other person or not, at this time, even for the three thousand taels of white money, he can get to know the other person now.
Thinking of this, Tong Chenglin suddenly became anxious.
After a few steps, I caught up with the fair-skinned man:
"Hey, brother, it was my fault just now. I've been worried a lot lately, so I forgot about it when I was confused."
"Having said that, there is a saying that goes like this: Kill someone to pay for your life, and you must pay back your debt. How can you clear all the debts between us just because I don't remember you for a moment?"
"This is unreasonable."
After the fair man heard these words, he stopped walking forward.
Turning around, he looked meaningfully at Tong Chenglin behind him:
"The eldest son of the Tong family is right in what he said. It is only natural to kill people to pay debts and pay back money, no matter what."
After saying this, the fair-skinned man took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them into Tong Chenglin's hands.
After Tong Chenglin took the banknote, the expression on his face was happy at first, and then dimmed:
"Hey, brother, you're doing something wrong!"
"What you just told me was three thousand taels, so why are these two thousand taels?"
After the fair man heard these words, a trace of embarrassment gradually appeared on his face:
"The eldest son of the Tong family, to tell you the truth, I am not just wandering around on the street today. I also want to find a noble person to help me smoothen my relationship."
"Although you, the eldest son of the Tong family, are the best person to do this for me, you are really too busy on weekdays, and it is very difficult for me to meet you."
"If the eldest son forgets about me next time, it will be difficult for me to do what I want to do."
"So, I want to keep the thousand taels and find someone else to take care of it."
Tong Chenglin glanced at the fair man with dissatisfaction:
"Since I was able to help you with the matter last time, why can't I handle it this time?"
"How about this? You tell me the matter first, and if I can handle it, I'll make an offer to you."
"After you get the money, I will help you with it. What do you think?"
"This way, it will save you the trouble of looking for someone else?"
The fair-skinned man pondered for a long time with a confused look on his face:
"But I don't really have much money. If the price offered by the eldest son is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it."
Tong Chenglin glanced at the fair man:
"Then tell me, what is the highest price you can pay?"
As soon as Tong Chenglin finished speaking, the platinum man stretched out five fingers at him:
"Five thousand taels at most, and one more tael will be gone!"
Although this Tong Chenglin is a rich man, he is one of the best in the entire capital.
But his godfather Tong Guan didn't spend much on him on weekdays.
It's only a few hundred dollars a month, and at most it's only nearly a thousand taels of silver.
And this time, if he can handle the matter in front of him well, he will get another five thousand taels of silver in an instant.
Such a large sum of money could allow him, a profligate young man, to live freely for several months.
With this being the case, how could he not be moved?
But at this time, he did not show a happy expression, but blinked indifferently:
"Forget it, I think you don't have much silver, just five thousand."
"I wonder what you want me to do for you?"
After hearing this, the fair-skinned man sighed with embarrassment on his face.
Then, he cautiously glanced around a few times, and finally lowered his voice deliberately and said in Tong Chenglin's ear:
"There are many people here, so in order to prevent my story from being heard by outsiders and causing unnecessary trouble, I would like to ask Mr. Tong to move elsewhere."
"When we get to a secluded place, I will talk to Mr. Tong in detail."
"I wonder what Young Master Tong wants?"
At this moment, there are only two things that Tong Chenglin is most anxious about.
One is to go to the appointment with the two sisters of the Zhu family as soon as possible.
The second is to try every means to get another five thousand taels of silver from the hands of the fair-skinned man in front of me.
These two things are completely different from each other and there is no way they can be handled together.
And if he were asked to prioritize these two things, Tong Chenglin would give the following result:
It's not too late to get the silver coins first, and then pay the Zhu sisters' appointment.
Because in his opinion, since the Zhu sisters wanted something from him, they would not be able to break the appointment easily.
In this case, it seems that there is nothing wrong with letting the two sisters wait for a while this time.
On the contrary, there are not many opportunities to make money in front of me.
If he says goodbye to that person first, it will be extremely difficult to find him next time.
After all, I still don’t know the other person’s name, let alone where they live.
As for whether he and the unidentified person would encounter any risks if they left here rashly, that was completely outside Tong Chenglin's consideration.
Because in his opinion, in the huge city of Tokyo, only a few families can pose a threat to their Tong family.
As for the sudden threat to his life, there was not even half of it.
Therefore, in the heart of the child Cheng Lin, he was truly fearless.
And before that, the other party also let him taste the sweetness of two thousand taels of silver. This made Tong Chenglin more determined. The person in front of him was, at best, just a small businessman with some spare money.
He is also very sincere in his dealings with others.
Even if we go to a remote place with that person this time, the other person will definitely not, let alone do anything extraordinary to him.
