The Real Side of Yu Xiaoke
Even Feiyan sectâs housemaster was coming, how could the leader of the organization, Giant Deer, not appear in person?
"So? Are you scared now? Your tiny Feiyan sect isnât worthy to be my opponent!" Black Bird saw that Lin Yi was scared, and he was pleased, "You should think about what you can do when my boss is here! He wonât let you go for a mere 800,000 yuan or a million!"
"Ah!" Lin Yi sighed in distress and called Song Lingshan again.
"Goodman, whatâs up? Iâm on my way!" Song Lingshan saw the callerâs ID and quickly picked up.
She drove her Leopard and no one else was in the car.
"I have some bad news, housemaster! The thief organizationâs big boss, Giant Deer is bringing everyone over and chop us to death! What are we going to do? Can you bring more people who arenât part of the sect over?" Lin Yi asked helplessly.
"Donât worry, Iâve brought my entire squad. Everyone without missions and people from the public security department are also here to work with us!" Song Lingshan replied.
"Huh? No way! Do we only have ten people? How can we win then?" Lin Yi continued to make a face, "You have to get us more helpers or we are done for!"
"..." Song Lingshan couldnât help but grin. Lin Yi had a side like this? Although Song Lingshan knew that Lin Yi was playing pretend to trick the other party, she still thought it was funny!
"Alright, Iâll send as many as I can over," Song Lings laughed.
Lin Yi hung up and grimaced at Yu Xiaoke, "Darling, I have bad news. Housemaster said that she can only bring about ten people over. What are we going to do?"
"Haha! There is nothing you can do! Think about how you can compensate us in a while!" Black Bird sneered at Lin Yiâs helplessness, "You are making me laugh. You want outsiders to help? You donât have enough people, and you are bringing in outside forces? Itâs too late even if you can find any!"
"Exactly! What are we going to do!" Lin Yi sighed miserably.
"Donât panic. Perhaps housemaster can think of something!" Yu Xiaoke knew that Lin Yi was putting on a show. If he really couldnât find helpers, why would he stand here like an idiot waiting to be beaten down? Obviously, Lin Yi had a plan. Otherwise, he would beat Black Bird and escape.
"We can only hope so!" Lin Yi nodded.
It was undeniable that the thief organization was quite efficient. In other words, their headquarters was not far from here. After a while, a crowd of people holding knives and metal bats rushed from the front and rear end of the alley, surrounding Lin Yi and Yu Xiaoke.
Black Bird was delighted at the sight of Giant Deer. He immediately ran over, "Giant Deer bro, these are the people. One of them is Yu Xiaoke, and the other is her husband!"
"Oh? Whatâs wrong with our four brothers on the ground?" Giant Deer frowned at the four men who were screeching in pain on the ground.
"That brat practiced something called Fortress Armor Arts. My brothers used their fists, and they became like this!" Black Bird quickly explained.
"Is it that effective?" Giant Deer was surprised because he didnât know the existence of such art.
"Yes, indeed. But I think he accidentally exposed his secret! Heâs not afraid of people beating him with their fists, but heâs afraid of knives!" Black Bird was pleased, "I think that heâs not scared of strong attacks but sharp weapons!"
"Mhm, reasonable," Giant Deer nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Xiaoke whispered to Lin Yi, "Oi, did you ask for helpers or not? They have so many people. Can you handle it or not?"
"If it doesnât work, weâll just run," Lin Yi smiled.
"Iâm not joking. I canât die! If Iâm dead, no one will take care of the children in the orphanage! They will starve to death!" Yu Xiaoke panicked.
"Do you really steal for those children?" Lin Yi studied Yu Xiaoke carefully. Yu Xiaoke didnât seem like an extravagant person, and she shouldnât dress like this with her income.
"Of course! Do you want to donate? I accept donations!" Yu Xiaoke replied.
"You should change your way of earning money. Itâs not good to steal all the time," Lin Yi didnât like nor dislike the profession as a thief since his uncle was a miraculous thief too. However, Lin Yi simply thought that Yu Xiaokeâs skills werenât good enough. He thought that she would be caught sooner or later.
"What other professions could earn me as much money as quickly as stealing?" Yu Xiaoke rolled her eyes, "There are more than a hundred people who need to eat every day! Do you know how expensive food is nowadays? Have you bought rice, oil, and salt before? Even if each personâs food budget is 10 yuan every day, thatâs more than a thousand! Plus all the learning materials, medical fees for sick children, new clothes, bedsheets, cups, and other necessities, plus water, electricity bills, wifi, gas bills, tv bills. Even 50,000 yuan isnât enough to last us a month! Iâm a girl. Where can I earn 50,000 yuan every month? Other than selling my first time, I wouldnât be able to make that much money. Plus, I wouldnât be able to earn more if I sold myself after that! You donât know how hard it is for me!"
Lin Yi didnât expect his words to cause her to vent. But he thought that Yu Xiaoke had held these emotions in for a long time. She had no one to talk to and she vented it all to Lin YI.
Indeed, Yu Xiaokeâs life wasnât easy. No other profession had such a high income! Yu Xiaoke didnât have a specialty, and stealing was her only way out!
"Donât people donate to the orphanage?" Lin Yi asked.
"Yes, but what can you do with three to five thousand?" Yu Xiaoke sighed, "Ahh!"
Lin Yi was deeply moved. If everything she said was true, Lin Yi respected the girl standing in front of her. She supported an entire orphanage by herself and she was a great person no matter what profession she worked in.
"Oh right, the Fortress Armor Arts you mentioned before, does that kind of kungfu actually exist? Can you teach me?" Yu Xiaoke recalled the method Lin Yi used to take down those men asked in admiration.
"Do you think itâs possible? Even the Golden Shield doesnât have that kind of effect" Lin Yi shook his head. He merely made the name up. In fact, it wasnât like that at all!
