Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 132

An Yinong was so frightened the whole night while he was kidnapped that he didn’t sleep at all. So when he arrived at the old house, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

In his dream, he was lying on soft clouds, his head resting on someone’s thighs. The person’s long hair hung down and brushed against his nose, making him feel itchy.

“Why haven’t you noticed me yet?”

A smiling voice appeared beside him. He opened his eyes and vaguely saw an outline. It looked like his lover, but also like…Xie Jiu?

An Yinong woke up with a start. It was already the next morning. He slept for more than ten hours.

“Xie Jiu is the gentleman?”

The name Yu may not mean much, but what about the throbbing sensation he felt every time he saw him? It was an almost instinctive feeling that made him want to get close to him.

“Back then, before I came into this world, what did he say? ‘Follow your heart and find him’, right?

“I think I’ve found him.”

With a happy mood, An Yinong walked downstairs: “Grandpa butler, where is the newspaper at home?”

In the days before the Internet, if you wanted to know what was happening outside, you had to read the newspaper. The He family ran their own newspaper company, so they must have subscribed to a lot of newspapers.

An Yinong ate breakfast with gusto while reading newspapers and news.

The fight between the White Tiger Gang and the Crocodile Gang that caused a scene in the Entertainment City had been reported in the tabloids. People heard that both sides fired guns, suffered heavy casualties, and have become mortal enemies.

The crocodile leader was lying in the hospital, his male reproductive organ had been cut off, and the next second he was sent to a cell for a murder case, covered in blood… I won’t go into the details of the process, it was very miserable anyway.

An Yinong also wanted to know what happened to Scar Man and others later, but it was not mentioned above.

He looked at other newspapers and found that several of them mentioned the incident. The pictures in the newspapers were blurred, but they still looked bloody.

The tabloid also used a particularly eye-catching headline: ‘White Tiger and Crocodile both failed, the palace of love was littered with charred corpses’. It turns out that the entertainment city was called “Daqing Palace”.

“What happened to Mr. Xie?” He searched through the newspapers but could not find any news. He didn’t know whether it was suppressed or no one dared to report it. After all, Xie Jiu was a person who was not easy to mess with.

“It’s all a misunderstanding.” An Yinong thought, “Xie Jiu is just socially anxious and not good at expressing himself, which is why he is often misunderstood.”

“Tiantong is up?” Cousin Tianheng came down from upstairs, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?” Uncle’s family all lived in the old house.

“I slept for more than ten hours. If I sleep any more, I’ll turn into a pig.”

“It’s cute to turn into a pig.” Tian Heng sat at the dining table and looked at An Yinong holding a newspaper in one hand and a spoon in the other. “The picture on it is so bloody. It will affect your appetite.”

“Brother, where are the others?” Yesterday the room was full of people, but today there are only the two of them.

“After you came back yesterday, the police followed traces to arrest people, and many people from the Crocodile Gang were arrested. Also, Zhang Ming or Zhang something was arrested early in the morning.” Unlike the cautious elders, He Tianheng felt that his cousin could no longer be protected like a child because he had experienced such a disaster, and he could tell him about these things.

“He was arrested?” An Yinong put down the spoon, “Can I see him?”

“What do you want to see him for?”

“Get some things straight.”

He Tianheng actually drove An Yinong to the police station. Zhang Ming had just been arrested and had not yet been sentenced. However, because of sufficient evidence, he was already treated as a quasi-prisoner and had to be handcuffed when he came out.

“You are very proud, right?” Zhang Ming, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him dimly, his bloodshot eyes no longer concealing malice. He chuckled, “What a pity, you got away with it. I heard that those guys have the wildest fun with little boys like you who look like women.”

However, An Yinong was not angered. He said, “I heard that the fun in prison is pretty wild. I hope you have fun.”

Zhang Ming was angered by An Yinong’s calm smile. He wanted to rush over, but was pinned down on the table by the policeman behind him, and the handcuffs on his wrists rattled.

After a long time, he finally stopped struggling and lay there like a dead man, only his eyes were still fixed on An Yinong, just like a few months ago. At that time, An Yinong felt that this was a poisonous snake, and it would bite him as long as it found a chance.

“Have you calmed down?” An Yinong asked.

Zhang Ming laughed and sat down again. He looked at An Yinong and asked, “What do you want to ask me?”

Looking at his expression, no matter what An Yinong asked, he would be able to splash poison all over An Yinong’s face.

Who knew that An Yinong didn’t play by the rules, he smiled happily: “Nothing, I’m very happy today, so I wanted to come and see you, and I feel relieved to know that you are not well.”

Zhang Ming’s face turned green at that moment, and even the policeman who was restraining him couldn’t help but look at An Yinong twice: This is a murder that breaks one’s heart.

“He Tiantong! Don’t be so complacent!”

“Why can’t I be proud? Look at yourself. You were a promising student with a devoted lover. But what about you now? You played a good hand so badly. I didn’t even do anything, and you ruined yourself. How can I not be happy?”

“It’s strange. I have no grudge against you, and we haven’t even spoken to each other. You hate me so much that you even use your lover. So, the better I am, the more miserable you will be?”

“Ah——” Zhang Ming stood up, but was pushed down again, with his face pressed on the table.

An Yinong looked at him in a state of excitement and madness, and he himself felt bored. He stood up and said, “You have so many things that I want but don’t have, but why do you only look at what you don’t have?”

An Yinong left the police station, feeling bored. When he and He Tianheng returned to the old house, there was still no one there. His cousin had to go to the company, so he was the only one left in the old house. He sat on the sofa and ate an apple. While chewing it, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

What was the matter?

“Go to school.” An Yinong finally remembered what he had forgotten.

The day before yesterday was the weekend, yesterday was Sunday, and today was Monday, the first day of school.

“Don’t worry, Master Tiantong. I have already asked for leave from school. You can rest and recuperate at home for the next few days. Don’t worry about your studies. Your tutor, Mr. Wu, will come over this afternoon to give you tutoring.” The housekeeper came over and said.

It seemed that without his knowledge, everything had been properly arranged.

After lunch, Grandpa He came back and said that all the members of the Crocodile Gang had been captured. No matter how those who participated in the kidnapping treated An Yinong, they had done something wrong and must be severely punished by law.

An Yinong nodded.

In addition, Grandpa He told him that in order to celebrate An Yinong’s safe return, the family was going to donate 10 million yuan to charity.

“If we want to do charity, Grandpa, how about we set up a ‘student aid fund’?” An Yinong said, “For those who are both good in character and academics, but cannot go to middle school or university because of lack of money, we will provide them with interest-free student loans, let them repay the loans in installments after they get a job, and also arrange for temporary jobs for them to earn a living.”

“Why did you suddenly think of doing this?”

“It’s like this. When I was chatting with the kidnappers, I learned that one of their leaders was a good student, but unfortunately he had no money, so he went out to work. I think that student loans like this are giving them a chance, and also giving myself a chance. To eliminate the enemy, you can only kill him. Turning the enemy into a friend is also the same as eliminating the ‘enemy’, right?”

Grandpa He looked at his grandson, whose eyes were free of any gloom, and felt deeply touched that this child was generous and kind-hearted. Even when faced with such a situation, he still wanted to help others.

“You don’t hate them?”

“Actually, what they said makes sense. If everyone can live and work well, who would want to be a thug or a prostitute? Grandpa, the pot on the stove is burning. It’s useless to just pour water on the pot. You have to remove the firewood in the stove.”

It seemed like Grandpa He was getting to know his little grandson for the first time. The little grandson who was always said to be dull in the past was actually a person of real wisdom.

“You’re right. Okay, Grandpa will listen to you and set up a student aid fund. Grandpa will advertise it in newspapers and on the radio. As long as your grades are above average and your family is truly in financial difficulty, you can get an interest-free loan and arrange for a holiday job. Tiantong, if you have any other ideas, tell me. You can see further than your father, and Grandpa is very happy.”

An Yinong hesitated for a moment: “I want to cooperate with Mr. Xie to see if there is any opportunity to use his medical resources to organize a ‘mobile hospital’ charity event.”

“What is a ‘mobile hospital’?” Grandpa He asked humbly. As for seeking cooperation with Xie Jiu, he had already saved him once, so what’s wrong with asking him to provide some medical resources?

“We invite doctors with real skills, including both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, to go to various poor areas with medical equipment, conduct free physical examinations for them, and prescribe medicines. If anyone needs treatment, we can also provide some arrangements, such as beds and doctors, and reducing certain treatment fees, etc.”

An Yinong whispered that it was simple for him to say, but the medical expenses of so many doctors, as well as the subsequent series of exemptions, all needed to be provided by the organizers, and it was not a small amount of money.

Grandpa He was silent. His family could afford the money, but medical resources couldn’t be bought with money. Xie Jiu had a mediocre reputation in the business circle. Would he be willing to do such a business that would lose money?

“Absolutely.” Unexpectedly, when Xie Jiu visited a few days later, he agreed without any hesitation.

He said: “After experiencing this life and death, I have also seen clearly that money is only a thing outside of the body. I am very happy to be able to help Tiantong.”

“Thank you, Uncle Jiu.” An Yinong smiled.

When Xie Jiu smiled, one of his eyebrows was crossed by a scar, which made him look a little evil. But at this moment, his smile seemed so sincere and gentle that even Grandpa He, an old veteran, felt for a moment that he had misunderstood Xie Jiu and that he might actually be a good person.

“Thank you, Mr. Xie for your generosity.”

“I learned it from Mr. He.” Xie Jiu said again.

Xie Jiu sat for a while, left the gift and left. An Yinong saw him off to the door on behalf of Grandpa He.

“Uncle Jiu is not feeling well, so don’t force yourself.” He held Xie Jiu’s arm and carefully carried him into the car. He had just been shot in the thigh, how many days would it take for him to walk freely?

“I’m fine,” Xie Jiu insisted, “Tiantong, if I hadn’t asked you out that day, would you have been okay?”

The driver in front started the car, but Xie Jiu in the back seat was still feeling nervous.

“Uncle Jiu,” An Yinong pressed the car window, “I’m actually very glad that I was kidnapped that day.” Only then can you appear next to the right person at the right time.
