After knowing Lin Le wanted to build a park and a castle, Song Xin came forward, “Lele, don’t worry about the money, I can…”
“No! I want to fund it with my own money! I have a lot of money now! Around 3 billion… I may not know how much a billion is but I heard that it is a lot if you count it from the multiples of a thousand….”
Song Xin sighed and did not persist any further. Her only wish was for him to be happy and she would secretly contribute.
“Don’t underestimate the world. We have all faced many challenges in this matter. Emperor Liu, someone who is good at talking, can only be a food deliveryman,” Lin Liang smirked.
The box was full with money in no time. After finishing off another song, Jia Xu carried his erhu on his back and looked at the money in the box. He then brought the entire box to the owner of a commissary store. “Turn the money into food and drinks and distribute it to the people looking for jobs…”
Just when he was about to leave, a hand grabbed him, “Hey, you…”
Jia Xu turned around to see a woman in a police uniform. She looked pretty but heroic at the same time.
“Show me your busking license.”
“What?!”
“You don’t have it, do you? Then, the penalty is twenty thousand and your illegal income will be confiscated.”
“Huh?!”
“You are giving me a ‘huh’?! How can you be this unethical by playing the erhu in public without a license? If you play well, that’s still tolerable. But what if you aren’t good at it? It’s causing a nuisance to the public! Everyone here doesn’t have a license. In such a crowded place, if you play a song here and someone else plays another song there, how can we maintain public order here?! Quickly, pay the fine!”
“About that, young lady…”
“What ‘young’. Address me as ‘officer’! Actually, my name is Siao Zhengnan, you can call me Officer Siao.”
“About that, Officer Siao, I really have no idea about the license… can you…”
“No! If I were to settle this privately, I might do the same tomorrow. Being fair and upholding justice is the priority of our Lin Hai Police Force! Look at yourself, you’re even dressed in a tangzhuang for this. Why don’t you just go apply for a license. I heard your song just now, it was extremely melodious…but the rules are the rules!”
“Robbery! There’s a bank robbery!” Gunshots were heard after a loud scream. Siao Zhengnan’s first reaction was to put Jia Xu behind her and hid him behind a bunch of flowers. “Stay here and don’t run around!”
“Headquarters, headquarters… There’s a bank robbery happening in the third branch human resource market of the East District! Details unknown!” Siao Zhengnan was observing the situation at the bank. There was a robber holding a little girl hostage. His furious emotions made him unknowingly apply a greater force on the hostage. Seeing the little girl getting almost out of breath, Siao Zhengnan stood out, “Siao Zhengnan from Lin Hai East District Moon Shining Branch…”
“Why are you asking such a thing at this time?! If you can save her, do it now!” Siao Zhengnan was mad.
Just when Siao Zhengnan was still considering, she saw the robber let go of the little girl and pointed at his own forehead with the gun. He looked extremely scared, “My hand…No, i don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!!”
She turned around to see Jia Xu staring at the robber with no emotions. Seeing the robber’s actions, a chill ran down her spine. Yet, she was glad at the sight of the little girl running into her mother’s embrace. “Can’t you spare his life? Won’t you feel cruel seeing him killing himself?”
“Nope, not at all…” Jia Xu shrugged his shoulders.
The robber’s fingers were on the trigger and Siao Zhengnan quickly dashed out and knocked the gun away. Jia Xun tilted his head and looked at her, “If I want him to die now, not even Hades dares to keep him alive!”
The gun landed beside the little girl and the girl picked up the gun without hesitation, aiming at the robber who kidnapped her. With tears in her eyes, she shouted, “Mommy, don’t touch me, I feel like I might even kill you!”
Seeing the cold smile and eyes, Siao Zhengnan pulled out her gun but aimed at the little girl.
“Look at that little girl. She’s about to kill someone, someone unarmed. What you are doing is upholding justice, aren’t you?” Jia Xu said softly.
“The twenty-thousand-coin fine…”
“What do you mean by paying for me?! Do you think I’m that cheap? But since the problem is solved, I’m cool with it. Oh yeah, do you have any vacancies that you can recommend to me? I’m trying to find a job…” Jia Xu smiled.
“Huh?”
“Huh?! What do you mean by giving me a ‘huh’?! I’m sure you, as a police officer, have good networking. Help me find a job but I have no educational background,” Jia Xu said as Siao Zhengnan’s and the little girl’s fingers were getting close to the trigger.
At this point, Siao Zhengnan was already being forced to the maximum, “No problem!”
“Really?! You won’t be lying to me, will you? Even though I always lie to others, I hate people who lie to me the most.” Jia Xu continued to smile and Siao Zhengnan’s finger was already on the trigger.
“Alright, I trust you.” Siao Zhengnan could finally control her own body and the little girl threw away the gun and went back to her mother’s embrace. The robber fainted and numerous gunshots were heard from the inside. The moment Siao Zhengnan was about to say something, all hostages ran out safely.
“It’s so weird. The robbers just shot at each other all of a sudden. All of them were severely injured inside.”
“Sure, a kind soul like me suits this occupation the most,” Jia Xu nodded.
“Alright, it’s time to go home. Oh yeah, don’t plan on cheating on me yea. I hate people who break promises. I think you wouldn’t want to know the consequences of betraying me. Besides, we are considered friends now and colleagues in the future?” Jia Xu got up and left with a smile.
Staring at his smile, Siao Zhengnan felt extremely inferior. The feeling of completely being in the hands and under the control of someone. You’re this strong and you still want me to get you a job?! This was something unfathomable that she feared the most. She was not able to predict even a millionth of his logic. Everything that happened an instance ago was like a ridiculous nightmare.
