34: Chapter 33 The Golden Finger
34 -33 The Golden Finger
Yang Yi had around two hundred thousand British Pounds on him, but that amount of money was not enough to hire the Dark Night Knight to protect Kate.
So Yang Yi could only check how much money Kate had on her.
After all these years, John Jones and Jenny must have saved quite a bit of money, and before Jenny died, she even gave Kate a card; perhaps, Kate had enough money to buy their lives.
However, asking a woman for money was something Yang Yi still found hard to swallow—he felt it wasn’t right.
Although the money was for Kate to use, and he might even have to subsidize her, he just felt uncomfortable about it.
After knocking on the door, Yang Yi casually pushed it open, and upon entering the room and seeing Kate, who was visibly anxious, he steeled his heart and whispered, “Do you have money?”
“Money?
Yeah, I do, and it should be quite a bit.”
Yang Yi remained silent, prompting Kate to ask nervously, “What’s wrong?
Do you need money?”
Finally, Yang Yi looked up and whispered, “The situation is a bit complicated, no, actually it’s quite simple.
Those people can protect us, but they’re only willing to protect me, because my father was acquainted with them, just as my father was friends with your father, which is why your father was willing to take me in.
However, they are not willing to protect you.”
Kate exhaled softly and whispered, “I understand…”
Yang Yi waved his hand with a helpless expression and said, “I haven’t finished yet.
Danny said they can protect you as well, but it’ll cost a fee, one million British Pounds for a year, and they guarantee your safety absolutely.”
Kate did not respond, and Yang Yi continued in a low voice, “We now know who killed everyone.
It was the Masser Group that hired an assassin group called the Destroyer.
The Masser Group won’t pursue us anymore, but the Destroyer must hunt us down to the end.
They are right outside this building now, and as soon as we go out, we’re as good as dead.”
Without hesitation, Kate said, “I need to survive!
But I don’t know how much money my mother left me.”
Yang Yi said gravely, “I have two hundred thousand British Pounds here; it’s all yours.”
“Thank you, but I think it might not be necessary.
My mother also made quite a bit of money over the years.”
After whispering her response, Kate softly spoke a number and then whispered, “The bank card is in my pocket.
I just told you the PIN.
You can help me check how much money there is on the card.
Also, I think my father must have left a significant inheritance, but I don’t know where it is or how much is there.”
Yang Yi responded softly, “Let’s see how much money you have first.
I’ll go check now.”
Taking the card from Kate’s pocket, Yang Yi whispered, “I’ll be back soon.”
“Wait a second…”
Kate’s face flushed, and then she whispered, “I need to use the bathroom.”
After helping Kate to the bathroom, Yang Yi went to the room across the hall, card in hand, to see Danny.
“I’ve got a card here, there’s money on it but I don’t know how much.
I want to check it.”
Danny smiled and said, “There’s an ATM downstairs, go check it.
Ah Jiang, Xiao Feng, go with him.
The ATM is outside, be careful.”
The one called Ah Jiang stood up.
He pulled out a handgun from behind his waist, chambered a round, and then put it in his coat pocket.
The one named Xiao Feng took an MP7 submachine gun from beneath the blankets, concealed it with his jacket, and then said to Yang Yi in Mandarin with a smile, “Let’s go.” novelbuddy.cσ๓
Yang Yi wiped his mouth subconsciously and then, with a hopeful expression, asked, “Could I have a gun, too?”
Danny looked at Yang Yi and asked, “Do you know how to use one?”
“I do!”
“Have you ever used one before?”
“I’ve used one before, last night I even shot someone.”
Danny nodded, then pulled a handgun out of his own bosom, reversed the muzzle, and handed the grip toward Yang Yi.
Yang Yi caught the gun, which was a small-looking handgun, but it was quite heavy in hand, and there were protrusions on the grip like those of a grip strengthener.
Gripping the handle, Yang Yi squeezed it hard, heard a click, then his fingers naturally rested on the trigger.
“What kind of…
gun is this?”
Danny’s eyes widened, and without hesitation, he reached out, grabbed the handgun’s slide with one hand and tapped Yang Yi’s wrist with the other, causing Yang Yi to involuntarily release his grip.
By the time Yang Yi asked the question, the gun had already returned to Danny’s hands.
Seeing the way the three people looked at him, Yang Yi felt he must have made a stupid mistake, but he didn’t know exactly what it was.
“You said you knew how to use a gun?”
Yang Yi said, feeling very guilty, “Yes…”
Danny said irritably, “Then why do you have a golden touch?
You chambered a safety-on gun, then aimed it at me with your finger on the trigger.
You want to kill me or what?”
Yang Yi said in surprise, “Uh, what?”
Danny said disdainfully, “This is an HK P7 handgun.
Alright, this kind of gun isn’t suitable for a rookie like you.
No, you shouldn’t use any gun at all.
Now, get out of here quickly.”
Yang Yi, looking bewildered, left the room flanked by Ah Jiang and Xiao Feng, and then said in confusion, “I wasn’t supposed to put my finger on the trigger, right?”
Ah Jiang just shook his head, but Xiao Feng laughed and said, “Of course not, dumbass.
Never point a gun at someone, and never rest your finger on the trigger.
Don’t talk about how dangerous a chambered gun can be, even an unloaded gun shouldn’t be handled like that.
It’s the most basic principle of gun safety.”
Yang Yi could only sheepishly say, “Oh, now I understand.”
The three men entered the elevator, and then Ah Jiang whispered, “Don’t talk, everyone be careful.”
Xiao Feng whispered as well, “You on the left, me on the right; you in front, me behind.
There won’t be any trouble, I bet they wouldn’t dare.”
“Still, be careful.”
After quietly instructing the younger Xiao Feng, the elevator doors opened, and Ah Jiang said solemnly, “Let’s go.”
Yang Yi was walked out of the building, flanked by the two men, and after a few steps, they reached an ATM.
In a rush, he inserted his card into the ATM, entered the PIN, and clicked to check the balance.
Yang Yi immediately felt relieved, for there were one million three hundred and fifty thousand British Pounds in the account.
Considering Jenny could get a hundred thousand British Pounds in one go, Yang Yi thought the money in this card couldn’t be too little.
Now, Kate’s safety should not be a problem.
After withdrawing the card, Yang Yi said softly, “Alright, let’s go back.”
Without any trouble or fright, aside from Yang Yi’s golden touch giving everyone a scare, the check balance trip was quickly concluded.
Having returned upstairs, Yang Yi went straight to see Kate and excitedly said, “There are one million three hundred and fifty thousand British Pounds on this card, it’s more than enough.”
Kate also exhaled deeply, then said without hesitation, “Give the money to them.”
