In the world of Zongman, the ruthless monks just want to play badly

This pain lasted for about five minutes.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Li squatted down and patted his face, "Where's the money you took to gamble?"

"It's gone...all lost!"

Fengchuan Wu was like a wild dog with a broken spine, his eyes full of desire for life, "But my daughter is rich! My daughter is also very beautiful! I will sell her to you! You can do whatever you want to her!"

"Please, forgive me, I really know I was wrong..."

"You know you're wrong."

Bai Li shook his head, "You just know you're going to die."

He stood up, turned around and left, his spiritual power surging around him, and although the rain was heavy, it was all blocked outside.

He did not intend to kill Toyokawa Satoru, after all, he was Xiangzi's biological father.

But sometimes, death is actually a relief.

When the strong energy enters the body, every two hours, the person will suffer from the pain of being cut into pieces, and there is no way to save him.

Even a man of steel will collapse into a pile of mud within three days, wishing only for a quick death.

If Toyokawa Satoru really had the willpower to stay alive even if life was worse than death, Bai Li would actually look up to him.

The screaming continued behind him, echoing in the dark alley.

But he obviously didn't have the courage.

……

"no, do not want!"

Shoko Toyokawa woke up from her dream.

She once again saw her ferocious father, as if he was choosing someone to devour.

The pair of eyes that were the same color as his own no longer had the tenderness they once had, nor did he see the guilt and pity for his daughter. They were filled with calculation and greed.

Xiangzi was stunned for a long time, his expression gradually becoming lonely. He put his hands on his knees and buried his little head deeply in his arms.

Dad... No, Toyokawa Satoru.

When did that man start to change?

Maybe it was the day he lost his position as a councilor, or maybe it was after he was kicked out of the Toyokawa family.

Xiangzi still doesn't understand why his mother ruthlessly kicked his father out of the house.

She could have stayed in the Toyokawa family and continued to be a well-off young lady, but she was willing to leave with that man.

Because Dad used to be a very good person.

He would teach her to play the piano, tell her bedtime stories, and secretly buy her the cake she had been craving for a long time without telling her strict mother.

"Why on earth... did it become like this?"

……

pat.

The dim room suddenly lit up, and someone turned on the light, illuminating the lonely girl.

Xiangzi raised his head and the first thing he saw was a familiar envelope, accompanied by a gentle and soothing voice.

"The property returns to its original owner."

Seeing that the girl didn't move for a long time, she seemed to be still in a daze.

Bai Li raised his eyebrows: "If you don't come back to your senses, I'm going to line my pockets——"

He just wanted to tell a joke to lighten the mood, but suddenly he paused.

Xiangzi did not take the envelope, but threw himself into his arms, holding the boy's strong waist tightly with both hands.

She didn't say anything, but her tears quickly wet the fabric on her chest.

Bai Li sighed, but did not push the girl away. He gently stroked her soft blue hair.

"It's okay, it's all over."

Xiangzi is a very strong girl.

But precisely because we are too strong and used to carrying all the pressure on our shoulders alone, the backlash will be more intense after we have someone to rely on.

The suppressed crying continued for a long time.

After leaving the warm embrace, the delicate face like a doll has long turned into a dirty little cat.

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"Dad... Toyokawa Satoru, what happened to that man?"

"I had a friendly exchange with him and he has deeply realized his mistake."

Bai Li shrugged, "I felt ashamed to see you, so I decided to move to another place. I think I'm on my way now."

...You're lying to me again.

If friendly communication alone could make that man repent, then Baili-san could apply to be a confessional priest, right?

Xiangzi carefully picked up his right hand, and there were some inconspicuous blood stains on the finger bones.

"Does it still hurt here?"

It was a mistake. I should have checked it again before coming back.

Bai Li coughed lightly: "I don't feel anything."

After all, it's not his blood.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Xiangzi pushed the envelope back and said, "Give this money to Baili classmate for safekeeping. It doesn't matter if you spend it."

"Are you worried about Toyokawa Satoru?"

Bai Li thought the girl was afraid that her money would be stolen again. "Don't worry, I'm quite confident in my negotiation skills. He won't drag you down again."

After this incident, the man was ruined.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will only be worthy of being a stray dog ​​for the rest of your life.

Chapter 44: The Resurrection of Soft and Glutinous Xiaoxiang

"No, that has nothing to do with it."

Xiangzi shook his head gently, his amber eyes flashing with a bright light and revealing a faint smile.

I just... found something more important.

"In that case..."

Bai Li thought about it and suggested, "Why don't you use this money as rent? The tenant next door recently went abroad, so you can just move in."

"Although it's a bit small, it's more than enough for one person to live in. The rent is also cheaper, only 30,000 yen a month."

In fact, he originally wanted to invite Xiangzi to share the rent with him.

After all, a 3ldk apartment is designed for a family of three, and it is still a bit big for one person to live in.

But if you think about it carefully, this behavior is no different from living together. Even if he doesn't mind, it doesn't mean Xiangzi doesn't mind either.

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

The shabby apartment I rented was not only small, but also had unstable water and electricity supply. It was difficult to even take a bath. Its only advantage was that it was cheap, but it still cost nearly 20,000 yen a month.

With this scholarship, she no longer has to live as tight a life as before and can move to a better living environment.

"correct."

Bai Li paused, then added, "There's one more thing I might need your help with."

Xiangzi immediately perked up, straightened his back, and said seriously:

"Please tell me, anything is fine as long as I can do it."

Having received so much kindness, she now eagerly wants to repay Baili and has made all preparations.

Just, unexpected.

"Are you interested in being my secretary?"

Hearing this, Xiangzi was stunned for a moment.

secretary?

Is this the kind of secretary she imagined, someone who does secretaries' jobs when there's something to do?

"I'm planning to open a ghost exorcism business, and I might not be able to handle it all by myself."

Bai Li briefly recounted his plan, "I call myself a secretary, but I'm more like an assistant, helping with some chores. Of course, it's best to have someone I know well."

In fact, he had considered asking Yumiko and Pochi for help before.

But after thinking about it, let's forget about the former. Just one Pochi...

The socially anxious girl would stutter even when facing him, let alone going out to do business.

In comparison, Xiangzi is obviously more suitable for the position of "assistant".

I have extensive work experience, worked as a customer service representative, and know how to communicate with others.

She used to be a young lady, so she has no shortage of connections.

"You are the most suitable candidate, and I believe you can do this job."

"The monthly salary is tentatively set at 300,000 yen, with eight days off per month and holidays as usual. If performance is outstanding, salary increases may be considered."

“My daily work involves contacting clients and selecting the commissions that you think are suitable.”

"How about it? Do you want to think about it?"

What a generous reward!

It's hard not to be moved by Toyokawa Shoko.
