Chapter 215: Cause and Effect

"It's up to you this time."

Lei Luo sounded sincere.

Seriously speaking, there is no friendship between the two at all. He is willing to make Li An as a friend because he is good with several detectives and his own power is not weak.

Now that Li An was willing to help him, Lei Luo was still grateful, which made him less worried in the city.

"polite."

After walking out of the teahouse and exchanging pleasantries, Li An said goodbye to Lei Luo and Lard Boy.

After thinking for a moment, he walked alone along Longjin Road to the end of Xiguan Street.

Under the plaque of 'Chengzhai Neighborhood Welfare Association', two doors opened on the left and right.

When Li An came in, he was catching up with the boxer to teach boxing.

Apart from the neighbors who occasionally took time to come over, all the people who followed him to learn boxing were brought by An Li to the Welfare Association to maintain law and order in the city.

Guns don't solve all problems.

It's like a club clearly has a gun but doesn't dare to use it in a big way to fight for territory.

The existence of the association is tacitly approved by the ghost, but the prerequisite is that you must abide by the rules.

This is the bottom line.

If any club dares to break the rules, things will get serious and they will be suppressed. Even those who sit in the club will be deported.

Number Gang and Xiangqian are lessons from the past.

Although this is a walled city with no one to care about and the police have no law enforcement power, they still have to control the situation.

Now that the Welfare Association is in the walled city, the gunmen are only a deterrent, mainly relying on the sharp skills of Duan Yingfeng and Boxing Lao.

Quan Lao and Duan Yingfeng would spend some time every morning to teach everyone how to practice boxing.

Even if you can't learn anything in a short time, you can still strengthen your body.

Seeing Li An entering the door, the boxer signaled the people in front of him to continue practicing boxing.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over quickly.

"Li An, I usually don't even see you, so why do you have time to come here today?"

Boxer asked, asking Li An to sit down, and made another cup of tea and handed it over.

"I came to see Uncle Jun for something."

Li An took the tea and looked around, but did not see Li Jianjun.

In fact, when Lei Luo talked about going to Xinjie to talk to Luotuoding about Doll Qiang at the teahouse, Li An knew that things would not go so smoothly.

The so-called loyalty, rules, and friendship are often just empty words in the eyes of these Jianghu people.

Many times, self-interest is worthless when it comes to it.

This is true for Camel Ding, and it is also true for Doll Qiang.

Even if Lei Luo persuades Luotuoding and the other party is willing to surrender, Dou Zaiqiang will not sit still and wait for death.

Li An relied on his foresight to understand these things, but it was impossible to tell Lei Luo too much.

On the one hand, he is not the kind of person who wants to communicate easily and talk deeply.

On the other hand, Lei Luo had no intention of chatting with Li An while the two were drinking tea.

It would be unsightly if he took the trouble to mention it proactively.

As for helping Lei Luo get the doll?

There is no reason to rush to help others.

Li An had never thought about this.

This time Lei Luo came to the walled city just to ask Li An to help take care of him, and did not ask him to help deal with Doll Qiang. This shows that Lei Luo himself knows well that the relationship between the two has not reached this point yet.

There is never love without a reason in the world.

Just like in the plot of Chasing the Dragon, Wu Shihao risked his life to help, and even broke a leg because of it. That was because Lei Luo saved his life from Hunter, and he was repaying his kindness. When Lei Luo rescued Wu Shihao, he also saw that the other party had the courage to fight in a firefight, had good skills, and would be useful in the future.

Everything has a cause and effect.

This cannot be said to be true of Ang Lee, but it is indeed the case. At Lei Luo's banquet, Liu Changquan was looking for trouble. The senior brother Zhou Sheng did not hesitate to get up and confront Liu Changquan, but Lei Luo just smoothed things over, which is enough to illustrate this point.

At the moment, it is obviously more in Ang Lee's interest that Lei Luo is having troubles and encountering setbacks in Xinjie.

How can a convenient favor be better than providing help in times of need?

What's more, this is a walled city!

Li An is not worried at all that things will get out of his control.

The doll is forcing an attack. As long as Lei Luo is not weak enough to be killed in a single confrontation, people from the welfare association will soon enter the scene.

And this incident was enough to make Lei Luo owe himself a huge favor.

When Li An came to the welfare association this time, he also told Li Jianjun to pay more attention to the news in Xinjie.

"He should be here soon. If you're not in a hurry, just wait."

"Okay."

Li An nodded.

There was a smile on the boxer's face:

"You came just in time. I originally planned to find you."

"What's the matter?" Li An asked.

"Let's discuss the welfare association with you."

"Hey, I'll just put my name on it, you don't have to discuss it with me."

Li An was rarely free now, so he quickly refused.

"No, I just want you to help me refer to it!"

Boxer glared at Li An, feeling helpless.

Now that Li An and his sister are living together, it's okay to call him uncle, but his words have no effect at all.

Li An coughed, a little embarrassed:

"Then tell me."

The look on Boxer's face became much more serious, and he said seriously:

"The main problem is the Longjin Free School. The free school has been in disrepair for a long time. With so many children in the walled city, there are only two teachers, one nun and Audrey. I want to raise money to repair the free school and recruit two more teachers to teach. You See what we can do?"

Longjin Yixue was built at the same time as the city wall in the 1847th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (). It has been more than years ago.

Over the past 100 years, the free school has been transformed into a public high school and second-class free school. Unfortunately, a fire broke out in the walled city six years ago. Part of the free school was burned down, leaving only the junior high school.

Since volunteer schools are inherently welfare-based, it would be difficult to maintain them just by relying on the tuition and miscellaneous fees. Even the school teachers almost all serve as volunteers and teach for free, so naturally they cannot afford the cost of repairs.

Li Anxin relaxed and asked:

"How much money is left?"

Boxer thought for a while and then tentatively said:

"Twenty thousand yuan is about the same."

"There's no need to refer to it, I've paid for it."

Li An said with a smile.

Twenty thousand yuan is just a small amount of money to him, and it is a good deed, so he will not be stingy.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Having said that, Boxer was smiling all over his face and he didn't look as embarrassed as he said.

He was helpless. Walled city sanitation, street repairs, and water pipe connections all cost money, and the Welfare Association couldn't afford much money at once.

And the matter of volunteering couldn't wait. He discussed it with Duan Yingfeng and then decided on Li An.

"In the evening, I will send you the money. If you are in a hurry, you can go to the dance hall to find Hua Manna now."

Li An smiled knowingly.

He just lamented that the impulsive boxer he used to be seemed to be no longer so simple after running a welfare meeting for a period of time.

"There's no rush. We still need to find workers. It's okay to be two days late."

The smile on Boxer's face became even wider.
