Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 509 Difficulties
"That's not what I meant." Xie Hui hurriedly explained.

"How could it not be that? You take money from people and do things for them. You took the money first, but didn't do the work, and then returned the money afterwards. I guess you were not satisfied with the amount of money. However, wouldn't it be better to say earlier that you were not satisfied with the amount of money? Otherwise, if other people's things are ruined, and you return the money later, the amount of money is not enough to make up for the loss of not getting the work done. Xie Hui, tell me, am I right?" Jian Liang said in a gentle manner.

Although Jian Liang's way of speaking did not seem scary, Xie Hui could hear the sharpness behind his words. However, he did not do anything and it was irreversible. He did not know what to say and said nervously, "How much money do you need me to pay? Just tell me the amount and I will pay it!"

Jian Liang said: "What if you can't afford it?"

Xie Hui said without thinking: "If I can't afford the compensation, I will go and make money. When I can afford it, I will compensate you!" After saying that, he felt that he was too stupid to say such a thing.

"Money? I can use money to get you to do something for me, and you agreed. But the thing was not done, and the opportunity to do it was missed. My children can no longer be the young clan leader. Tell me, can you compensate me with an opportunity, or compensate my children with the position of young clan leader?" Jian Liang said.

"I..." Xie Hui didn't say anything else.

"Things in this world that can be compensated with money are far less valuable than things that cannot be compensated with money, don't you think? For example, opportunities, positions, and... human lives." When Jian Liang said this, a light that didn't seem so gentle flashed in his eyes.

Xie Hui explained: "I was wrong! But I really have difficulties, I can't do anything!"

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me when you collect the money."

“When I collected the money, I didn’t know that something like this would happen.”

"What kind of thing?"

"That day, after I went to the bathroom, I went to the review room. As soon as I reached the door, a man in black pressed my acupoints, grabbed me into the room, and controlled me, making me face the wall. Wei and Man, who were reviewing with me, also stood there motionless facing the wall. Obviously, they were also pressed by the man in black. The man in black told us that if the two of us did something that caused the young patriarch to fail to win the non-competition part, we would all die without a burial place. He also said that we should know how powerful the young patriarch is, how powerful the patriarch is, and so on. We thought he should be someone sent by the patriarch to monitor us, so... so I really didn't dare to do anything... I didn't take your money and deliberately not do things for you. I really wanted to save my life!" Xie Hui said tremblingly. "How could this happen?!" Jian Liang was surprised.

"Yeah! I didn't expect that either!"

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Did you forget to close the door when you went out to relieve yourself?"

"I dare not forget this. The man in black knocked on the door, and Wei Yuman thought I was back from the bathroom, so he opened the door."

"You're leaving without your keys?"

"To be honest, I didn't bring my keys when I went out."

"Why not?"

"Because... because I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, and I couldn't find my key for a while, but I found it when I came back! I know it was wrong for me to go out without the key, but I was in too much of a hurry to go to the bathroom."
