Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Borrowing Money

“Give it a rest,” Xiao Han laughed. “If she doesn’t care about you when she returns, it just shows she never valued the relationship in the first place. The love between two people won’t be affected by time or distance.”

“That’s easy to say, but reality is still reality,” Liu Bin smiled and then added, “Without reinforcement, a relationship can easily run into problems. There are plenty of long-distance relationships that end up breaking up.”

“But you aren’t in a long-distance relationship,” Xiao Han chuckled. “At most you’ll be apart for a month. Besides, Guan Xiaotong lives not too far from the provincial city, right? If you really want to, you can go to her place.”

“Right,” Liu Bin immediately nodded and said, “You’re absolutely correct, Guan Xiaotong’s home isn’t far from mine at all. It’s probably just over an hour’s drive. I’ll just drive there; it’s not a big deal and might even surprise her.”

“Right!” Xiao Han nodded.

Not long after, the dormitory became bustling.

Zhang Feng was silently packing his bags, about to embark on the journey home. Yet, he appeared unusually quiet.

“What’s up with you, Zhang Feng?” Xiao Han curiously glanced at Zhang Feng.

“Oh, it’s nothing!” Zhang Feng shook his head, then said, “I…”

“Just spit it out if you’ve got something to say.” Xiao Han walked over, already seeing the difficulty Zhang Feng was in. It seemed this guy really was facing some trouble. Approaching Zhang Feng, he asked, “Do you… have some kind of trouble?”

“I…” Zhang Feng hesitated, then said, “Could I borrow two thousand yuan from you?”

“Sure!” Xiao Han, without any hesitation, pulled out five thousand yuan from his luggage bag. The money was what Xiao Han had intended to take home for the New Year celebrations. Since Zhang Feng was in need, Xiao Han naturally agreed without conditions. So, he promptly handed the money to Zhang Feng and smiled, “If you’re in trouble, just say it; why beat around the bush?”

“No, no, I don’t need that much,” Zhang Feng’s face turned beet red as he awkwardly said, “I just need two thousand yuan, you’ve given me three thousand extra.”

“It’s okay, take it for a rainy day!” Xiao Han laughed, then added, “When going home for the New Year, you’ll need money either way.”

“I…” Zhang Feng was momentarily stunned, then awkwardly said, “Alright then, I’ll pay you back after the winter holiday!”

“Sure!” Xiao Han nodded, then said, “It’s no big deal whether you pay it back or not, since we’re brothers. Besides, it’s okay if you don’t pay it back now, you can do it after you start working. After all, I’m not worried you’d run away. Right?”

Zhang Feng nodded and said, “Don’t worry, if I said I’ll pay you back after the winter holiday, then I will definitely pay you back.”

“Yeah yeah, sure,” Xiao Han quickly nodded and then remarked, “Whenever you say you’ll pay back is when you’ll pay back.”

Zhang Feng carefully tucked the five thousand yuan into an inside pocket, then let out a sigh of relief. He picked up his worn-out bag and said, “Brothers, I’m taking off first, I need to hurry back to see my mom.”

“Go ahead, you head off first,” the others greeted him.

Liu Bin and Zhang Dagou were still glued to their computers, eager to make the most of their holiday to play games. They had been on edge for a whole week, nearly at the brink of collapse. A week without touching the computer or playing games was tough, but now that they had their holiday, they could indulge themselves. Moreover, the two had agreed to pull an all-nighter gaming that evening. Xiao Han could never understand the mentality of these two guys.

Once Zhang Feng left, the two of them were even less inclined to mind Xiao Han, whose previous pep talk had made Liu Bin snap out of his funk.

So, the two ignored Xiao Han.

Xiao Han walked out of the dormitory alone. Having had a full meal, taking a stroll around the campus seemed like a pleasant activity. Coming out of the dormitory, he happened to bump into someone hurrying towards the dorm. Xiao Han looked up, and their eyes met.

“Xiao Yu?” Xiao Han said, surprised to see her.

“I was just looking for you,” Lan Yudie smiled.

“Do you need anything from me?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled as he looked at Lan Yudie.

Lan Yudie smiled and then said, “The school’s almost on holiday, don’t you have any plans?”

“I’m planning to go home tomorrow,” Xiao Han smiled and said, “I haven’t been home for both the National Day and New Year’s holidays; I really miss my mom, and I’m not sure how she’s doing at home. So, I plan to head back first thing tomorrow morning.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow?” Lan Yudie obviously seemed reluctant to let him go.

“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Xiao Yu, if you’re free, you should come visit me in Linjiang City.”

“Okay,” Lan Yudie pursed her lips and said, “But the holiday has just started, aren’t you rushing home too quickly?”

“I know you don’t want me to leave, and honestly, I feel the same,” Xiao Han said helplessly, “But I can’t stop worrying about my mom alone at home. Plus, I need to check on the couple of stores we have in Jiangbei City. Even though they are managed by others, I’m still a bit concerned.”

“Okay,” Lan Yudie nodded and said, “You should come back early. If I’m free, I’ll visit you in Linjiang City.”

“Good!” Xiao Han proactively grabbed Lan Yudie’s hand, then said, “Have you finished your work?”

“Not yet!” Lan Yudie shook her head and replied, “We still have to work for three more days. I also need to focus on my own exams for a few days. So, my head is about to explode these days. I just hope to get through them quickly.”

Lan Yudie had already treated Xiao Han as her boyfriend, feeling no barrier due to the age difference. On the contrary, she felt a strong sense of dependency on Xiao Han, which came from deep within her heart.

Hand in hand, the two walked through the campus.

Xiao Han planned to take Lan Yudie to a coffee shop outside the school to sit for a while. After all, given the unique nature of their relationship, it would seem somewhat inappropriate to hold hands at school, potentially giving some of the older professors something to gossip about. Xiao Han certainly did not want to be censured by these people again.

They had just left the school.

Suddenly, a Porsche sped over.

The car stopped at the school’s gate, and Mo Shaocong jumped out in a rush.

“Young Master Mo?” Xiao Han looked at Mo Shaocong in surprise.

“Xiao Han, it’s great to run into you,” Mo Shaocong said hurriedly. “Come with me.”

“What happened?” Xiao Han immediately asked.

“Save lives, save lives,” Mo Shaocong said frantically, grabbing Xiao Han’s hand. On the other side, Lan Yudie firmly refused to let go, gritting her teeth at Xiao Han as if telling him not to go at all costs.

In Lan Yudie’s view, getting involved with rich young masters never led to anything good. Therefore, she didn’t want Xiao Han to go and hoped he would spend this leisurely evening with her, having coffee, enjoying some desserts, and relishing a comfortable night after the final exams. Of course, deepening their relationship would be the best. Unfortunately, it seemed that Xiao Han did not understand her feelings.

“Xiao Yu, I…” Xiao Han turned and looked at Lan Yudie.

Mo Shaocong looked awkwardly at Lan Yudie and said, “Lan Yudie, I came to Xiao Han for help with something today. I hope you can accommodate me.”

“I…” Lan Yudie let out a sigh of relief, then said helplessly, “Well, I won’t interfere with men’s affairs, but I absolutely don’t want anything to happen to Xiao Han. Young Master Mo, you may be the privileged heir, but you must not let Xiao Han make an innocent sacrifice.”

“Don’t worry, Xiao Han will be fine,” Mo Shaocong nodded.

“Okay!” Lan Yudie nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Han affectionately, saying, “Xiao Han, I don’t know what he needs you for, but I absolutely don’t want anything to happen to you. I just want you to be safe and healthy, okay?”

“Yes!” Xiao Han immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will return safely.”

Lan Yudie watched as Xiao Han got into the Porsche, then saw the car quickly disappear from her sight. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sense of panic, as if harboring an ominous premonition. However, she tried to reassure herself that Xiao Han would be fine.

…………

Vroom vroom…

The Porsche roared through the air, the car emitting bursts of rumbling. The speed was very high, and thankfully there were not many cars on the road, allowing the Porsche to soar to a speed of 120 mph in an urban area where the maximum speed limit was 60 mph. The car was speeding at twice the legal limit, but its velocity was still climbing wildly.

“Young Master Mo, what’s so urgent that you had to find me like this?” Xiao Han asked curiously.

“It’s a matter of saving lives,” Mo Shaocong sighed, “Several lives are waiting for you to save them.”

“What happened?” Xiao Han frowned, asking curiously, “Where are we going now?”

“South City Underground Boxing Ring,” Mo Shaocong’s complexion changed slightly as he said, “Xiao Han, how do you think I, as your elder brother, treat you?”

“Not bad,” Xiao Han nodded, “You’ve certainly been good to me.”

“Right!” Mo Shaocong nodded, “So will you help me this time?”

“Exactly what is it?” Xiao Han quickly asked, “Within my capabilities, I’ll definitely help you. But if it’s beyond what I can do, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help.”

“You can definitely help me!” Mo Shaocong seemed a bit frantic as he drove and spoke, “The current situation is quite troublesome and hard to explain in detail. Let me just summarize it for you…”

Mo Shaocong explained the key points.

Xiao Han gathered some information from his words. It seemed that several wealthy young men from the capital had gathered in Z province. After having some drinks, they got competitive. The capital had three powerful young masters, unquestionably influential in the country. When such people engaged in rivalry, their subordinates were expected to risk their lives in accompanying these gentlemen. Minor injuries and disabilities were the least of worries, but even losing one’s life was a possibility.
