Chapter 118: A Thousand Miles to Save Someone

  Second update, continue to ask for votes

  ………………………………

  On the third day, there were more people on the square, and the number of gambling stones on the stalls increased significantly. The vendors had a lot of inventory in their hands, slowly releasing it to attract more customers.

  As he approached the square, many people pointed at Li Yang, and in these few days of activities, Li Yang was the most famous person. Many people had seen Li Yang before, and when he appeared on the scene, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

  Wu Xiaoli felt the constant gaze from around her, and tilted her head to say to Li Yang: "Li Yang, I feel like you're a star or something, all that's missing is someone asking for your autograph."

  "My signature, my word is my bond"

  Li Yang smiled wryly, being noticed by so many people, wanting to keep a low profile was impossible, but Li Yang didn't think that way either, could his performance over the past few days still be described as low-key? The glory of the Jade Stone Association was almost overshadowed by Li Yang alone.

  The mobile phone in Li Yang's pocket suddenly started vibrating. Since he had found it difficult to hear the ringing tone in crowds, Li Yang had changed his mobile phone to vibrate mode.

  The phone number belongs to Li Can, since leaving Zhengzhou, Li Yang has not been in contact with this kid, thinking that if he opens an auction company in Zhengzhou in the future, the two can meet often.

  Sochan

  Li Yang answered the phone happily, but in just two sentences Li Yang's face changed. He suddenly said into the phone: "I have 3 million, don't mess around, give me the address and I'll go there immediately."

  Li Yang said as he gestured for Liu Gang to hand him a pen and paper, and before long, he had written down an address.

  "What's wrong?" Wu Xiaoli asked hastily, Li Yang's face looked even more unpleasant now.

  "Something has come up on Li Cang's side, I need to go and take care of it. Sorry, Zhang, I won't be able to attend the event today. If I can finish things before the event ends, I'll come back; if not, don't wait for me."

  Li Yang hastily said a sentence to Zhang Wei and turned around to leave, Wu Xiaoli and Liu Gang immediately followed him together.

  "You can't go, all of you go back"

  Li Yang suddenly stood still and shouted at the two of them, "Li Can's situation seems to be very bad, as if he has been controlled by someone. It's too dangerous for you to follow him."

  "Don't worry, Li Ge, you know me, I'm physically strong and have a lot of energy, no matter what happens, I won't hold you back"

  Liu Gang said that, Li Yang hesitated for a moment. From the understanding of these days, Li Yang knew that Liu Gang was indeed stronger than him. He heard that Liu Gang had learned martial arts when he was young, but thinking about the danger this time, Li Yang shook his head again.

  "Liu Gang, thank you, this is my business, don't follow me anymore"

  "Li Ge, you look down on me? You won't let me follow, it's really not okay. Otherwise, I'll tell He Lao that you didn't take good care of me."

  Liu Gang suddenly stood in front of Li Yang, blocking his way and acting like a rascal. Li Yang, who had been anxious, couldn't help but smile.

  "Alright then, follow me, but everything has to be done my way."

  After some thought, Li Yang decided to take Liu Gang with him. The other party's intention was to ask for money, and Li Yang had the money. 300,000 yuan was nothing to Li Yang now, as long as he sent the money over, it should achieve their goal and there would be no problem.

  Liu Gang followed suit, and it would also boost his courage. With more people, the other party would also have concerns.

  "I'm going too!" Wu Xiaoli flashed in front of Li Yang again, staring at him with wide eyes.

  "You absolutely can't go, you can either stay here or go back to Mingyang"

  Li Yang immediately shook his head, joking that the two old men were not afraid, but bringing Wu Xiaoli, a girl, along would be unpredictable, especially since Wu Xiaoli was a beautiful girl.

  "No way, I have to go" Wu Xiaoli immediately shook her head, her eyes very determined.

  "Shut up! You dare say that after following me, I will never reason with you again? I mean what I say!"

  Li Yang's eyes suddenly widened, his tone unexpectedly strong, Wu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, she had never seen Li Yang with this expression before, and for a while didn't know what to say.

  "Liu Gang, go start the car, we're leaving right away"

  Li Yang didn't give Wu Xiaoli time to react, tossing the car keys to Liu Gang and putting the paper with the address in his pocket. For the past two days, they had been driving themselves to the square.

  Before long, Liu Gang drove over in Li Yang's Volvo. Wu Xiaoli was biting her lip and staring at Li Yang, seemingly very wronged.

  "Run"

  Li Yang got into the car and didn't even glance at Wu Xiaoli before instructing Liu Gang to drive away. Only after Li Yang's car was far away did Wu Xiaoli's tears start falling. Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin hurried over to comfort her, while Sima Lin went to communicate with several directors of the Jade Stone Association to make preparations for the auction company, but they were not present at this time.

  On the bus, Li Yang took another look at the address. This place was a small unknown village located at the intersection of Shaanxi and Henan provinces. Such places were usually very chaotic. It was really unclear how Li Can had ended up there, still owing someone 300,000 yuan.

  Got on the highway, used navigation to find this small county town, and drove quickly past. When passing Sanmenxia, Li Yang withdrew another 300,000 in cash from a bank, and by the time they reached the vicinity of that small village, it was already late afternoon...

  The village was not big and very broken, the car could not drive in when it reached the village head, so Li Yang had to get off and walk in, Liu Gang followed behind with a bag containing cash on his back, and there was also an electric baton at Li Yang's waist, which he bought on the way when he took the money, but didn't know how effective it was.

  There are many such dilapidated villages in Shaanxi, Li Yang felt that it was more desolate than his own hometown. Some houses were even partially collapsed, and there were not many people in the village. Occasionally, a few elderly or children would walk by, looking lifeless.

  As he walked to a very old and dilapidated house, Li Yang suddenly saw a stone tablet. The stone tablet also looked quite old, with many words carved on it. Several of the characters were still quite clear, and Li Yang vaguely made out "Great Ming Jiajing, Imperial Gift, Gao Ge Old" and so on.

  Li Yang hastily glanced at Li Can and then walked away.

  According to the address, Li Yang finally found the big house they were talking about. The gate of the house was pushed open and there were three people drinking around a table in the open air.

  "Are you here?"

  A man in his forties, slightly chubby, smiled and stood up, walking towards Li Yang. He walked to Li Yang's side, slightly bowed, and said with a fist: "Is that Mr. Li Yang?"

  "Right, you're Old Hu?"

  Li Yang nodded, the man's voice was very similar to the person on the phone that morning. He had used Li Can's mobile phone to call Li Yang, but in the end there was Li Can's voice, otherwise Li Yang wouldn't have rushed over from afar.

  "To be honest, I'm also helpless. My relationship with your brother is actually quite good. He has a lot of goods in his store that I supplied to him. This time he came to collect the goods and took a liking to something interesting, but didn't have enough money, so he borrowed some from me. I also saw the thing, it's really not bad, so I lent him the money. But unexpectedly, this was a trap set by someone else. The money was given to your brother, but he received fake goods and wanted to run away with them. I could only lock him up first. Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount for me, if he really ran away, I'm afraid I would have to jump off a building."

  Mr. Hu explained to Li Yang with a wronged expression, and took out a note from his body, pointing at the note: "Look, this is an IOU, see if it's your brother's handwriting"

  Li Yang took a closer look and indeed it was Li Can's handwriting. Having lived together for four years in college, Li Yang was still very familiar with Li Can's writing.

  "Is it his? I brought the money, where is he?"

  Li Yang nodded and let Liu Gang bring over the bag. He opened it and let Hu Boss take a look inside, where there was a thick stack of 100-yuan bills.

  Old Hu smiled and was about to take the money, but Liu Gang suddenly turned around and coldly said to Old Hu: "Let us see the person first."

  "No problem, no problem, little brother I was just anxious, people are treated well by me, right in the house, you guys come with me"

  Mr. Hu's face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile, and he led Li Yang and Liu Gang into the house. As they passed by the two men drinking, Li Yang took a close look at them, and they didn't seem like good people, looking fierce and menacing.

  Fortunately, there were not many people on the other side. If they rescued Li Can, they would also have three people. At this time, Li Yang didn't feel much fear in his heart.

  Li Cang was indeed in the house, but his whole body was tied up and his mouth was covered with adhesive tape. When he saw Li Yang come in, he immediately struggled and muffled cries came out.

  "Is this how you treat your guests?"

  When Li Yang saw Li Can's appearance, he immediately felt a surge of anger. Hu Lao Ban looked embarrassed and shook his head with a smile: "Sorry about that, your brother has been shouting that I set him up to harm him, shouting loudly every day, I'm afraid he'll run away, it's annoying, can only do this, please forgive me, I'll untie him now."

  Mr. Hu said as he untied the rope for Li Can, who immediately tore off the tape on his mouth and called out to Li Yang with a wronged tone: "Old Big Brother"

  "It's okay, it's all right now"

  Li Yang walked forward and patted the dust off Li Can's body, then Old Hu smiled slyly at them and said: "Mr. Li, you've seen the person, the IOU is here too, so shouldn't this money be mine now?"

  Li Yang looked at Li Can again, and Li Can lowered his head in shame, saying: "Boss, I was cheated by them, and they cheated me badly. This old guy had been preparing for more than a year to set me up. This time, I was completely deceived and lost everything."

  "It's okay, as long as no one is hurt, Liu Gang, give him the money"

  Li Yang shook his head and said, "Since Li Can really borrowed money from someone else's house, it's hard to say anything. Moreover, the other party still has Li Can's IOU, even if Li Can goes back, he can't avoid being sued for debt."

  Liu Gang swung his hand, and the bag of money was thrown over to him. Old Hu hastily caught it, but Liu Gang's throw was quite forceful, pressing Old Hu to bend down suddenly, almost unable to catch it.

  Mr. Hu opened the package, turned over all the money to take a look, and after confirming that there was no counterfeit and the amount was correct, he smiled and handed the IOU to Li Yang, who casually tore it into pieces.

  The matter was settled and the money had been repaid, so there was no point in staying in this stifling room any longer. Without waiting for Hu to bid them farewell, Li Yang led Li Can out of the house.

  As Li Yang walked past the two men drinking again, he saw a small box on their other side with several porcelain pieces inside that looked quite exquisite.

  Li Yang suspected that these things had harmed Li Can, and immediately unfolded his special ability to observe them. What he didn't expect was that the several things inside were indeed antiques, all of which were quite old.

  "Brother Li, this is mine."

  Li Cang also saw the box, walked forward and hugged it over, the things inside were the few antique items that Old Hu had lured him with, all of which were genuine, adding up to several hundred thousand yuan, Li Cang who was already on the verge of bankruptcy would not let these things go.
