"Li San brother..."
"Hmm, come, eat noodles. Did you finish the homework assigned by school today?"
"Finished, wow, smells so good."
"Hmm, eat up."
In this dilapidated apartment building, three people live together in a small apartment, roughly about fifty square meters. Although it's a bit simple, the surroundings are quite clean.
While eating noodles, Li San glanced at the medical bill on the table and sighed.
"You two eat quickly, and after eating, go to bed early. Remember to go to school by yourselves tomorrow, okay?" Li San gently said to the two children who looked about seven or eight years old.
"Got it, Li San brother."
"Li San brother, are you going out this late?"
"Hmm. Brother is going out to see if there's anyone willing to help us." Li San said softly with a smile.
"Li San brother, I remember you mentioned a kind person named Ye Xiaofan last time? Will he help us again?" the boy asked naively.
The name Ye Xiaofan was told to the two children by Li San. Back then, when he had been caught by Xiaofan, Xiaofan even gave him money, so this was the first time Li San had mentioned Xiaofan's name in front of the children.
"He..." When the children mentioned this name, a wry smile spread across Li San's heart. After all, Ye Xiaofan was now a champion with loads of money; who would care about someone as poor as me?
"You eat slowly, I'm heading out." Li San devoured his noodles in a few gulps and grabbed a plastic bag to take out the trash.
Just as Li San was about to close his door, two figures suddenly appeared behind him and held down his shoulders.
"Kid, stealing wallets huh."
"Caught you now, let's see where you can go."
"No, big brother, big brother, I won't run, I won't run. It has nothing to do with the kids inside, it was me, it was me."
They say Li San's martial arts were pretty good, but in this situation, he chose not to fight but to beg for mercy immediately.
Obviously, escaping would be easy, but what about the two children in the room? Would these people trouble them?
Li San dared not gamble. He could only soften. However, when he turned around and saw two grinning faces, his tense expression suddenly relaxed.
"Phew, geez, you two scared the hell out of me."
"Come on, let's have a drink. There's something I need your help with..." Xiaofan laughed.
"Help? I don't help for free, you know."
"A hundred thousand a month. Come on, let's talk while we drink." Xiaofan said while nudging Li San's arm, leading him downstairs.
Hearing it was a hundred thousand a month, Li San didn't even think twice before following them down eagerly.
At the club, Xiaofan explained everything about the dangers of Red Butterfly and the protection tasks to Li San in detail. The time and methods of protection could be arranged by Xiaolei and Li San themselves.
Instruments like binoculars and such could be purchased at will. As for guns, it might be a bit tricky. However, one must not act rashly unless the situation is critical.
The most important thing was to be cautious, for clashing with the people of Red Butterfly could cost them their lives at any moment.
"I have one more request." After hearing it all, Li San said flatly.
"Whatever you need, just say it. If the money's not enough, speak up." Xiaofan continued.
"It's not about money. I have a favor to ask. It's about the two kids at my place. If I die, I hope you can help take care of them. Their health isn't good, and every month they might need a large sum for medical expenses." Li San said seriously, looking at Xiaofan.
"I'll take care of their medical expenses. I don't have cash on me now; you go find a new place for them, give them a better environment. Whatever it costs, just let me know. A fridge, air conditioning, anything is fine. It would be best if it's close to their school so they can have easy access to food." Xiaofan continued.
"Damn, you're quite the righteous one. Alright, I'll do this job. Hey, buddy, between us, these ten thousand seem less. How much did he offer you?" After agreeing without hesitation, Li San turned and asked Xiaolei.
"Me? I don't take a penny. I owe Xiaofan a big favor. This is the least I could do." Xiaolei answered truthfully.
"No way. Free? Such a dangerous thing and you're doing it for free?" Li San asked in disbelief.
"Of course, I don't need the money." Xiaolei replied straightforwardly.
"Wow, making friends with two tycoons is awesome." Li San shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hahahaha..."
Xiaofan and Xiaolei both laughed along, clinking their glasses together. The three of them formed a team. Who knows what great developments might await them in the future, even as they sipped their drinks, they couldn't have imagined it then.
At 2:30 in the morning, the club wasn't as crowded as before.
Xiaofan thought he was a decent drinker until he met these two guys, who could drink just as much. Xiaolei was from Yanhuang Soul, which means he came from the army, and his drinking capacity was trained out of necessity, while Li San was just a petty guy. Although a Swallow Sect descendant, he inherited only divine thievery skills, and barely had any money left, and whatever he had was spent on helping those two orphans.
"Wow, that chick is hot. Once I have money, I'll hook up with all the girls I never could before." Li San said drooling over the gorgeous women coming and going.
"Wipe your drool, how old are you again, over the years?" Xiaolei glanced mockingly.
"I'm nineteen this year. If it was ancient times, I'd be an adult at fifteen." Li San said with his head high.
"You can be with someone you like even without money, it's not that complicated." Xiaofan recalled Shen Zuimo, remembering how they were so poor they had to hand out flyers and deliver takeout.
"Tsk, easy for you to say. You've got two million from winning the competition. With money, you can easily have beauties at your beck and call." Li San refuted.
"Ye Xiaofan, what are you doing here?" At that moment, a resentful voice came from the side.
"Oh wow, she's a beauty." Xiaolei, sitting at the front, saw it clearly.
Li San also turned his head. His saliva almost dropping on his own feet in awe, looking like a complete moron at the beauty before him.
"Huh? I was just chatting with friends, why are you here?" Xiaofan smiled slightly at Chen Mei'Er. At this hour, this woman was surprisingly still awake.
