Everything seemed so easy for Bing Tianyi. He initially thought that obtaining information about Mad Dragon's illegal activities from Yi Hanqing would require considerable effort, but he did not expect that a simple monetary temptation would lead to Yi Hanqing's submission.
However, after listening to Yi Hanqing's account, Bing Tianyi realized that it was not money that empowered Yi Hanqing, but rather the existence of justice that compelled her to speak out.
The entire situation sounded like a scene from a movie, and just like the five women currently working for Mad Dragon, Yi Hanqing had become a tool for Mad Dragon to make money.
By the time Yi Hanqing finished speaking, she had already cried her heart out after more than a year of repression.
Bing Tianyi, upon hearing Yi Hanqing's story, felt a deep sadness for her plight. Of course, after experiencing so much himself, he understood that there were many things in this world that were difficult to articulate; justice and evil coexisted in this reality.
If one were to claim that only justice existed in this world without any evil, then such so-called justice would cease to exist.
Reflecting on this, Bing Tianyi quietly pondered, lowering his head in silence. Old Huang, standing nearby and observing the expression on Bing Tianyi's face, could only smile bitterly.
He could not articulate whether this choice stemmed from human fear or from the powerful sense of possession. However, he knew that everything boiled down to one thing: money.
Money provided benefits but also brought about drawbacks. The benefit was that with money, people could acquire more possessions; the drawback was that because of money, people lost an equal amount of things.
For instance, the most important thing for humanity—time.
Think about it: those busy working individuals are not just working for money; during their hustle and bustle, they are undoubtedly wasting their own time. This was something they all shared.
The difference was that their busyness had goals and principles, while many others did not...
After a moment, Bing Tianyi raised his head and looked at Yi Hanqing, saying softly, "Alright, stop crying. To be honest, I brought you here today to accurately gather information about Mad Dragon's illegal activities so we can eliminate this tumor from the school. Now that you've spoken up, you know it's not enough. The best course of action now is for you to gather the other five girls. I will contact the police to handle this matter."
"Are you suggesting we call the police?" Yi Hanqing asked in surprise.
Seeing the panic in Yi Hanqing's eyes, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "What's wrong? Is there something inappropriate about this?"
"Of course it won't work. If you call the police, Mad Dragon will be arrested but released shortly after. That would create a huge problem for us," Yi Hanqing said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi glanced at Old Huang beside him and smiled wryly, "Don't worry. You just mentioned that all five of you are from different parts of the country. Considering what Mad Dragon is doing now, if combined and sentenced, he would likely face at least twenty to thirty years in prison. After that time, how much power would he still have to harm you?"
Yi Hanqing still wore an anxious expression and said directly to Bing Tianyi, "I still think it's not feasible. If he gets out early, he knows where we all live..."
"What do you mean?" Before Yi Hanqing could finish, Bing Tianyi smiled and asked.
Yi Hanqing murmured, "I have two options: either you take care of Mad Dragon or I stay by your side for protection."
Hearing this, Old Huang couldn't help but chuckle and looked at Bing Tianyi with a helpless smile, "Boss Bing, that's actually a pretty good idea. Why not let Qing stay by your side?"
Bing Tianyi was speechless and turned to Old Huang with a glance before quietly saying, "I think it would be better for you to protect her."
As soon as those words were out, Yi Hanqing blushed without thinking and said firmly, "No way! He's too old; we wouldn't even have anything in common."
After Yi Hanqing finished speaking, Bing Tianyi smiled at Old Huang and said, "That's true; he's quite a bit older and wouldn't be able to be with you."
Old Huang was particularly sensitive about comments regarding his age. As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, he stepped forward and coldly said to Yi Hanqing, "Miss Qing, don't let my age fool you; my mindset is great. If you're willing, I can protect your safety at any time. After all, I'm half a mentor to Boss Bing. Just two years ago, he couldn't even handle a chicken."
Yi Hanqing looked at Bing Tianyi's face with some suspicion after hearing Old Huang's words.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi had a look of affirmation on his face and smiled at Yi Hanqing, saying, "What he said is true. Don't be fooled by his age; his skills are much better than mine. Moreover, this old fellow is very wealthy. As far as I know, buying a few apartments in this city is not a problem for him."
"Is everything you said true?" Yi Hanqing was clearly a bit tempted. After all, the girl came from a relatively poor background and had a strong desire for money. Hearing Bing Tianyi's words made her look at Old Huang, who indeed seemed younger.
Old Huang began to puff himself up, smiling proudly as he said, "Of course! I'm still worried about how to spend my military retirement pay."
Upon hearing this, Yi Hanqing mumbled softly, "Well then, you have to protect me from now on."
"Sure! Do I still look old to you?" Old Huang asked Yi Hanqing in return.
After hearing this, Yi Hanqing hesitated for a moment but shook her head and said, "Actually, I was just joking earlier; you're not old at all."
Old Huang felt pleased upon hearing this and nodded with a silly smile, saying, "That's more like it."
In two days' time, although Bing Tianyi spent quite a bit of money, he managed to persuade the remaining five girls to come forward as witnesses.
Everything was ready; they just needed to go to the police station to report the incident.
In the morning, after getting up from the hotel, Bing Tianyi went to Old Huang's room and knocked on the door. A few minutes later, Old Huang stepped out of his room looking quite exhausted.
"Wow! What did you do last night? You look as tired as an old man this early in the morning," Bing Tianyi teased Old Huang.
Old Huang didn't think much of it and replied somewhat displeasedly, "Come on now, stop making fun of me. Why are you up so early?"
Bing Tianyi peeked his head into Old Huang's room and smiled, "Where is everyone?"
"Who?" Old Huang feigned ignorance and asked Bing Tianyi.
"Who else could it be?" Bing Tianyi replied with a mischievous grin.
Old Huang looked somewhat uneasy and whispered to Bing Tianyi, "Let's go to your room."
Bing Tianyi nodded, and the two of them went to his room. As soon as they entered, Old Huang mysteriously closed the door and sighed, "I tell you, kid, you've really put me in a tough spot this time."
"What happened?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously while sitting on the nearby sofa.
Old Huang didn't hesitate and bluntly said to Bing Tianyi, "What else could it be? She wants me to buy a house in the city and settle down."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi sprayed out the half mouthful of milk he had just taken, looking at Old Huang with exasperation. "Old buddy, are you serious?"
"Get lost! How was I supposed to know she would strip down and crawl into my bed in the middle of the night?" Old Huang said, his expression resembling someone who had eaten something worse than feces, filled with regret and helplessness.
Bing Tianyi couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Old Huang's words.
"Hey, kid, do you have any sympathy at all? Are you really enjoying seeing this old man go through such a situation?" Old Huang asked with a mournful face.
Bing Tianyi stopped laughing for a moment, but his body continued to shake with mirth as he replied teasingly, "I mean, Old Huang, you're being so real about it. At your age, why pretend to be young? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Oh wait, that's not trouble; you actually hit the jackpot."
"Are you kidding me? If there's such a good deal, I think you should take advantage of it," Old Huang said, clearly annoyed as he scolded Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi laughed continuously, but soon he looked at Old Huang earnestly and said, "Alright, no more jokes. Let's talk seriously. You're not getting any younger; it's time to consider marriage and having children. Although Yi Hanqing has some unsavory history, she knows her mistakes and is fundamentally a good person. If you treat her well, she could be a great partner for you."
"Come on, at this critical moment, you're still thinking about this?" Old Huang retorted.
Bing Tianyi replied straightforwardly, "So what do you suggest? Are you going to kick her to the curb? I don't think that's who you are."
"Sigh... then what do you think I should do?" Old Huang lamented.
"It's simple: buy a house. She's probably about to graduate soon. After she graduates, I can help her find a job," Bing Tianyi said with a cheerful tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Huang smiled helplessly and said, "Buying a house? I had planned for that before coming here, but I'm really short on cash right now."
Before Old Huang could finish, Bing Tianyi laughed and said, "That's not a problem! Don't worry; as long as you find the right house, I'll lend you the money."
After hearing this, Old Huang frowned in thought and sighed after a few seconds, "Let's put that aside for now. When are you planning to go to the police about this matter?"
Seeing Old Huang's inquiry, Bing Tianyi didn't hesitate and replied seriously, "Today."
