Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 782: Seven hundred eighty, undercover
Chapter 782: Seven hundred eighty, undercover
Lin Helian gave Luo Shu a grateful smile, "I won’t go." Next year, Yhan Cheng will need to start elementary school, and she had to scrape together his tuition fees.
For Yhan Cheng to have a better future, education was his only way out. Even though Yhan Cheng wholeheartedly wanted to be like his father and become a Guard Member, she still hoped that he could take a different path and live a safe and peaceful life.
Luo Shu walked up to Lin Helian, looking at the small parts on the table, "How much money can you earn a day with these handicrafts?"
Lin Helian looked at Luo Shu with some surprise but still answered, "If I work faster, I can make three to four dimes." She wanted to go out to work, but she couldn’t bear to leave Yhan Cheng alone.
"Would you like to earn some more money?" Luo Shu asked.
"Yes! But I have to take care of Yhan Cheng," Lin Helian said. Of course, she wanted to earn more money so that Yhan Cheng could eat better. Yhan Cheng was already seven years old, but among his peers, he was a lot shorter and thinner than the other children.
"You don’t need to leave the house, you can do it at home," Luo Shu said with a smile.
"Doing what?" Lin Helian looked earnestly at Luo Shu. She was naturally willing if she didn’t have to go out.
"I am not well now, and Old Lu is never at home, so it’s inconvenient to cook and do household chores. I hope you can come over to help me, would you be willing?" Luo Shu asked. She didn’t have anything suitable for Lin Helian to do at the moment and hoped that Lin Helian wouldn’t think she was being disrespectful.
Lin Helian hesitated for a moment then spoke up, "Can I bring these handicrafts with me?" Although these crafts didn’t bring in much, they still contributed to an income of about ten dollars a month. After helping Luo Shu with the chores, she could continue with the handicrafts in her spare time, but she didn’t know if Luo Shu would mind.
"Of course, I’ll help you with them when I have time," Luo Shu nodded with a smile.
"Alright! Then Yhan Cheng and I will go to your house together," Lin Helian decided. Just for Luo Shu’s help with Yhan Cheng, she should do something for her. As for the wages, she wouldn’t accept them.
"Then I’ll thank you in advance," Luo Shu said with a smile of gratitude.
After staying at Yhan Cheng’s house for a while, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo left.
"Shushu, you seem to be particularly concerned about the mother and son," Lu Hanmo said. He knew Shushu better than anyone; if she had not intended to help Lin Helian, she would never have suggested that Lin Helian come to their home to help. The regular household chores were more than enough for him alone; they didn’t need anyone else’s help. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo, "In his past life, Yhan Cheng was your guard, and he took three bullets for you."
"So that’s how it is, then let me take care of Yhan Cheng," Lu Hanmo decided. Regardless of whether these events belonged to the past life or the current one, he would certainly repay this favor. He might also be able to help Yhan Cheng’s father.
"Hanmo, what’s the story with Yhan Cheng’s father?" Luo Shu asked. She hadn’t heard Yhan Cheng mention his father in her past life.
"Yhan Cheng’s father is Yhan Zhan, a very capable warrior. Three years ago, he was sent on a mission to infiltrate a Gong Country drug trafficking organization as an undercover agent. Over the years, much of the information has been secretly passed back by him," Lu Hanmo said. There were many soldiers like him, and even if they returned, they could never go back to their old selves. Many more never returned at all.
"Is he still safe now?" Once many people enter that kind of organization, they get addicted to drugs and gradually lose themselves.
"I don’t know, we haven’t been able to contact him for over three months," Lu Hanmo said with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Then let’s go and check on him," Luo Shu suggested. Perhaps, Yhan Zhan from his previous life had disappeared in this very way.
"Okay!" Lu Hanmo nodded. Since he knew he owed Yhan Cheng three bullets, he would do everything he could to repay him.
In the night sky, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stood on the Flying Sword, looking down from above, where they could take in the entire landscape of Gong Country.
Lu Hanmo released his Divine Sense, which spread out in all directions, enveloping everything slowly.
Soon, he discovered in the basement of a luxurious wooden villa, a man covered in injuries, emaciated, was lying on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, clearly in the throes of drug addiction.
In the man’s vacant eyes shimmered a trace of steadfastness; he clenched his teeth, struggling against an agony in his body that felt like countless ants gnawing at him.
As time went by day after day, the frequency of his drug cravings increased. Each episode made him feel as though he were walking through Hell.
Every time this happened, he would try to distract himself by thinking of his wife and son, as well as his elderly parents, all waiting for him to return. So he couldn’t die; he had to make it through, he had to survive to go back to them.
The severe pain in his body grew worse, and the man bit down harder on his teeth, clutching his hands without making a sound. He was a Guard Member, and he was sure he could endure it.
Time gradually passed, and finally, the man survived the intense pain, exhaling a long breath. After surviving this episode, it would be half an hour before the addiction struck again.
The sound of unlocking came from outside the door, followed by the door being pushed open with a creak.
A portly middle-aged man walked in, flanked by three subordinates.
He stopped in front of Yhan Zhan and looked down at him from a high perch, "Still not telling the truth? Are you, or are you not, a person from the Yan Country Guard?" He had always appreciated Yhan Zhan and trusted him a great deal. It was only when someone informed him that Yhan Zhan was an undercover agent sent by the Yan Country Guard Squad that he understood why the Guard often interfered in their transactions with Yan Country merchants. He had indeed suspected that there was a mole among his men, but he had never doubted Yhan Zhan.
Yhan Zhan raised his scarred face, looking frankly at Sabo, "I am not... Brother Sa... believe me... I have always been sincerely loyal to you... It must be someone envious of me... who set me up..." Only by gaining Sabo’s trust could he continue his mission, could he survive.
"Then how do you explain that ever since you were locked up, not a single person from the Guard has appeared to spoil our transactions?" Sabo asked sharply, looking at Yhan Zhan. At first, he didn’t really believe it, but after three months of no interference from the Guard during their deals, he was convinced. If Yhan Zhan wasn’t a mole, how could it be such a coincidence?
"Brother Sa... maybe this is a ploy from the Yan Country Guard Squad... you must not fall for their scheme... if you must suspect me... then I can only prove my innocence with death..." Yhan Zhan said. Now he could only gamble this one time.
