Quick Wear: The Boss Cultivates Ruthlessness

Chapter 482 The Republic of China: Beauty in War 11

If someone who has an average relationship with you, not close but not unfamiliar, asks you to borrow money, will you lend it to him?

Yunyan lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Li Erdan's palms were sweating from nervousness, as if he was waiting for the verdict.

Yunyan finally spoke despite Wangcai's obstruction.

"Then how much do you want to borrow?"

Hearing Yunyan's words, Li Erdan felt his heart skip a beat, so there is still hope, right?

But when he thought about what he was about to say, Li Erdan couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"I, I want to borrow 20 dollars."

His voice was as small as a mosquito, fearing that Yunyan would refuse, and he added: "I will really pay you back."

Twenty dollars was not a small amount for Yunyan, but for a man working hard at the dock, it was definitely a considerable sum of money.

Some people work very hard but can only earn two or three dollars a month.

Yunyan then asked, "What do you want to do with it? Continue to go to the casino?"

Li Erdan lowered his head and did not answer.

But the silence says it all.

Yunyan had a indifferent expression, while Wangcai was grinning beside him. He really wanted to go up and bite this uneducated boy.

The host said not to look at people with prejudice, but everything Li Erdan did made him have to be prejudiced against him.

Yunyan finally said, "Come with me," and walked forward on her own.

Li Erdan knew that Yunyan had agreed, but he just couldn't raise his head. He followed Yunyan like a walking corpse.

It took Yunyan a long time to walk to the haunted house where she lived now.

Li Erdan was waiting outside, and soon Yunyan came out with a cloth bag.

"Here is the money you asked for. I don't want you to pay it back, but I don't want to see you again."

Li Erdan felt the cloth bag in his hand was heavy, and the mountain pressing on his heart was even heavier.

He lowered his head in shame, tears welling up in his eyes.

It was he who ruined this friendship in the first place, he deserved it.

"Thank you!"

Li Erdan said these two words with difficulty, then took the money and left.

Wangcai was still feeling indignant, wondering how many flowers he would have to sell to make up for the twenty dollars.

You can buy a lot of meat buns with 20 yuan.

"Host, I would say you shouldn't be soft-hearted."

Yunyan said calmly: "Just think of it as repaying the favor he showed me when he escaped from North City."

After hearing what Yunyan said, Wangcai stopped talking.

The next day.

Yunyan was wandering around the Marshal's Mansion selling flowers as usual.

Fifth concubine Lin Feiwan sent someone to buy a bunch of lilies as usual, but the person who came out to buy flowers today was a strange man.

He had a centipede-like scar on his face, which looked scary, and his tone of voice was cold.

Although Yunyan couldn't see his face, she could tell from his voice that this person was not someone to be trifled with.

Usually the person who came out to buy flowers was a mother-in-law around Lin Feiwan, but today someone changed for unknown reasons.

The man threw the money roughly into the Yunyan basket.

"The Fifth Aunt asked me to buy flowers,"

Yunyan didn't show any expression. After touching the money in the basket, she took out the bunch of lilies in the innermost part and gave it to him.

"Brother, watering the stamens of this flower a little more can help it calm the mind."

The scarred man didn't say much, just took it and left.

Yunyan put the money into her pocket and left the vicinity of the Marshal's Mansion.

She had been walking for about half an hour when she heard someone calling her.

"You must be Li Erdan's blind friend."

Yunyan was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

The person who came was a boy about the same age as Li Erdan named Gou Wa. He had dark skin, a thin body, and looked malnourished.

"Let me ask you, do you know where Li Erdan went?"

Yunyan shook her head, "I don't know, I'm not very familiar with him."

The boy touched his head in confusion.

"Strange, the boy disappeared early this morning, and his clothes were missing from the house."

"My boss asked me to come out and look for him, but I didn't see him in the whole morning."

Yunyan shook her head again to indicate that she didn't know, and left on her own.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Li Erdan anymore. What did his disappearance have to do with her?

Since that day, Yunyan never heard from Li Erdan again.

People at the dock said that Li Erdan had fled to another city. People had all kinds of opinions.

Yunyan continued to sell her flowers as usual, and from time to time she would receive messages from Zhao Ge reporting that he was safe.

She is now working on the front line, and I heard that she is studying medicine with a doctor named Bai.

As Yunyan came into contact with the scarred man in the Marshal's Mansion, she also learned that the man's name was Li Ping.

He was originally just an ordinary soldier left behind by Marshal Shao. During a riot, he risked his life to save Marshal Shao, and was therefore highly valued by Marshal Shao.

The hideous scar on his face was left when he rescued Marshal Shao.

In just five years, Li Ping became Shao's confidant and the most skilled person around Shao.

However, for some unknown reason, he was suddenly sent by the Marshal to protect the Fifth Concubine.

Many people said that Li Ping had fallen out of favor. After all, it was embarrassing for the people around Marshal Shao to protect a concubine all day long.

Li Ping, however, remained humble and kept his composure, and did things according to the Fifth Concubine's instructions every day.

Yunyan actually had a bold guess in her mind that Li Ping should be Chen Pingan's pseudonym.

Old Mrs. Chen kept telling Yunyan about her son's living habits and characteristics every day.

During her interactions with Li Ping, Yunyan also sensitively noticed some habits that were similar to those of Chen Pingan.

A person's name and appearance can change, but living habits are developed from childhood and are very difficult to change.

Even if you want to disguise yourself, there will always be a time when you will be exposed.

Li Ping was suddenly assigned to Lin Feiwan at this time, which very likely meant that he had already begun to be suspected.

Li Ping is a rather insensitive person. Yunyan hinted at him several times in subtle ways, but he didn't notice at all.

It’s also Yunyan’s fault for being so deceptive. After all, who would have thought of letting a blind man be an intelligence agent?

In the eyes of the world, the blind are a vulnerable group. What great things can a person who has lost his eyes achieve?

Yunyan was thinking of a solution when one day she suddenly ran into Marshal Shao who was returning home.

He really doted on Lin Feiwan, who had always been unhappy because the flowers planted in the yard had not bloomed.

On the way back, Marshal Shao unexpectedly saw Yunyan, the flower girl.

He seemed to remember that Lin Feiwan often liked to buy flowers from this blind girl. If he took this flower girl back, maybe it would make Lin Feiwan happy.

Then Marshal Shao stood in front of Yunyan.

He is tall and looks very serious. An ordinary little girl might be scared and cry if she saw him.

Yunyan couldn't see anything at all, she just felt that there was suddenly a mountain standing in front of her.

"Hello, I'm out of flowers. If you want to buy flowers, come tomorrow."
