Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 641: Get Out

"I see." Tie Hongyan said, "Did that person just give you the medicine before you went out on a mission? You don't have any spare ones?"

"No. He said those things are rare." said Ao Gong.

At this point, Ao Gong heard some noise outside, so he asked Tie Hongyan and You Xiangming to sit for a while and left the room alone.

As soon as he walked out, a man who looked to be in his twenties asked him to go to a place where there was no one else.

Ao Gong followed the man to a secluded place, and the man whispered to him, "I knew there was someone else in your room, but I didn't know who it was, so I didn't dare go in. I was a little busy today, so I couldn't wait too long, so I made some noise outside to signal you, and I didn't know if it would be convenient for you to come out after receiving the signal. Fortunately, you came out so quickly, and I can finally let you go again."

The man in his twenties and Ao Gong had already agreed on a secret code. If there was someone else in Ao Gong's room and the man was not sure whether he could go in but was in a hurry, he would give the secret code from outside. If it was convenient for Ao Gong, he would find an excuse to go out and meet him. If it was not convenient, the man would leave temporarily.

"Have you got them all back?" asked Ao Gong.

"It's all here." The man handed a package to Ao Gong and said, "Take a look."

Mr. Ao opened it and looked at it, flipping through it with his hands, and thought: Fortunately, it is enough.

The man said to Ao Gong, "Be careful, I'm leaving now."

"I know." said Ao Gong.

The man left quickly.

Ao Gong took the bag and entered the room. He took out some money from the bag and handed it to Tie Hongyan, saying, "My dear guests, I will return all the money you borrowed from me just now." Tie Hongyan took the money and said, "Were you waiting for this money just now?"

"Yes! Fortunately, there is enough to return it to you." He then remembered that he had said before that he would return the money for the ritual. However, after looking at the amount of money, he hesitated and said, "I just said that I would return the money for the ritual...ah...wait a minute, let me take a look."

Tie Hongyan saw that he was obviously in a difficult situation, and said, "We don't want the money for the ritual. The money just now was lent to you. If you return it to us, we will naturally keep it. Besides, we may need it on the way back later. The money for the ritual is what we have already spent, and we will not take it back. After all, I want to ask you something, and I will not let you answer in vain."

Ao Gong was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "What a kind guest!"

You Xiangming was a little disdainful when he saw his expression, and said: "You know that you overcharged us a lot of money, so you should answer our questions properly."

Ao Gong nodded and said, "Yes, I know. In fact, I always answer well."

You Xiangming glanced at Ao Gong and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, when that man was chasing you just now, did you really not have enough money to give him?"

Ao Gong said: "Really! Otherwise I wouldn't have borrowed money from you two distinguished guests."

"How come you got it so quickly? Where did you go just now? Did you go to the place where you usually hide the money and take it out?" You Xiangming asked.

"Of course not! I don't have any place to hide the money here, and I don't have that much money. The person who delivered this package just now came, and I took it so that I could have the money to return it to you!" Ao Gong said a little aggrieved.
