Chapter 488: Chapter 488: The Urge to Kill Grows (4th Update)
Bald Tiger was stupefied.
What did he mean by not having such a small amount on the bank card?
Could it be that one million was still considered a small amount?
At this moment, Xue An smiled at Yuan Mengying, “Let me ask, this is Lingnan station, right?”
Yuan Mengying nodded, “Yes!”
Then Xue An took out his phone, dialed a number, “I’m on the train, send me one million! As soon as possible!”
After finishing, he hung up the phone and smiled at Bald Tiger, “Just wait a moment, someone will bring the money over soon!”
Bald Tiger’s face was a mix of shadows and light, “Kid, if you dare to fool us, I guarantee you’ll regret it!”
Xue An just smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
An Yan, on the other hand, waved to Yuan Mengying, “Miss, come over here!”
Yuan Mengying hesitated for a moment, then timidly stood up and walked over.
“You look thin, eat something first!” An Yan said with a smile.
Looking at the tender warmth in An Yan’s smile, Yuan Mengying suddenly felt an urge to cry.
For over a year, she had lived in an environment filled with deceit and scheming, never having anyone smile at her so kindly.
Yuan Mengying was indeed quite hungry; these days, as her mother’s illness grew worse, the daily expenses at the hospital amounted to a significant sum.
So, to save money, she had cut her living expenses to the bone.
Almost every day she subsisted on just two buns.
Even so, she had sold everything sellable at home, and in desperation, she borrowed a high-interest loan from people like Bald Tiger.
She had only borrowed a little over two hundred thousand, and although she’d paid back some of it through part-time work, compounded interest quickly brought the amount to one million.
Yuan Mengying was utterly unable to repay it.
Bald Tiger then suggested she pay off the debt with her body, which Yuan Mengying naturally refused.
This was why she had left, and why Bald Tiger had hastily brought people to chase her down.
“Mister, I appreciate your kindness, but one million isn’t a small sum. You should leave later, and I will go back with them!” Yuan Mengying, having filled her stomach somewhat, said softly.
Xue An gave a slight smile, “Haven’t you thought about what would happen to you if you went back with them?”
Yuan Mengying sadly lowered her head, “I know, but I’ve reached a dead end, there’s no way out! My mother is nearing her last breath, and ordinary medicine is no longer effective. The doctor said that only the Heaven’s Fate Elixir could save her! But even the most common bottle of Heaven’s Fate Elixir costs millions! I can’t afford it!”
“So that’s why you were thinking of getting a job at Tianyuan, right?” Xue An said indifferently.
Yuan Mengying nodded, “As long as I can get a job at Tianyuan, I can get a bottle of Heaven’s Fate Elixir, and the salary is very generous, that’s why now countless people take pride in being able to work at Tianyuan! But…”
Xue An smiled slightly, “There is always a way out, and since I’ve said I’d help you, I will definitely do so! Just wait a bit longer!”
Yuan Mengying couldn’t continue.
She had finally used connections to get to know someone who could introduce her into Tianyuan Company, only for this to happen.
More than ten minutes had passed, and Tian Bohan still hadn’t returned; he was likely frightened off.
Xue An said nothing, just quietly watched the clock.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Thirty minutes.
After more than half an hour.
Impatience appeared on Bald Tiger’s face, and he suddenly stood up, sneering, “Enough! Kid, you’re indeed playing us for fools!”
Then he said to Yuan Mengying, “Come with us!”
As Yuan Mengying was about to stand up, Xue An extended his hand, signaling her not to move.
Bald Tiger’s expression turned ugly, “Kid, it seems you really have a death wish! Move…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a series of gasps came from outside the window.
Bald Tiger had just started to wonder when the train car door was kicked down.
Then a group of people filed in.
These were all burly young men, dressed in sword sleeve attire, with a delicate small sword embroidered on their chests.
