Chapter 93: Check out the abs

This money, in Zheng Degui's hands, seemed like something dispensable.

Even if he threw it away, he wouldn't feel it a waste.

But it was exactly what Li Qinglan wanted most right now.

She almost without any thought, nodded vigorously.

"I want… even in my dreams I want it!"

Hearing this, the smile on Zheng Degui's face grew even more sinister as he said, "Beautiful lady, wanting money isn't something you can get just by opening your mouth!"

"What do you want me to do?"

Having followed Lin Niansheng for so long, Li Qinglan naturally understood the rules of this game.

If there's no purpose, who would help you for no reason?

What's more, it's a debt of a hundred thousand!

Zheng Degui threw the thick stack of bills at her.

Then leaning back in his chair, he said, "You're smart; you should know who I'm targeting!"

"Is… Li Jiaci?"

"Exactly!"

Zheng Degui nodded.

"As long as you do one thing for me, I'll help you resolve the casino's trouble!"

"This fifty thousand is an extra deposit I'm giving you; after the task is completed, there's double the reward waiting for you to claim!"

"Speak!"

Li Qinglan's response was even more straightforward.

She couldn't forget being humiliated in the street by Li Jiaci, being trampled upon at his whim.

If the person before her could help her get revenge, she would be willing to do anything.

Seeing Li Qinglan's impatient look, Zheng Degui's mouth curled with a cold, sinister smile, his eyes flashing with dangerous scheming.

Meanwhile, Li Qinglan clutched the bills on the ground, her face filled with greed.

……

That night.

Li Jiaci suddenly received a call from the casino manager, Liu Ming.

"Jiaci bro, someone just dropped a package at the casino's back door; I counted, it's exactly a hundred thousand, not a cent less, and there's a note on it saying Li Yonglin settled the account—our plan's gone to waste!"

"Where did this old geezer get so much money?"

Hearing the voice on the other end, Li Jiaci furrowed his brows and asked, "Did Li Yonglin say anything?"

"When my men found him, he was stinking drunk, and we couldn't get anything out of him!"

"Liu Ming seemed to light a cigarette, exhaled, and asked, 'Should we keep watching him?'"

"No need," Li Jiaci said in a low voice, "when the opportunity comes, I'll let you know!"

"Alright, Jiaci bro, I'll wait for your call!"

"Mm!"

After hanging up, Li Jiaci punched the hospital corridor wall.

Relying on Li Yonglin alone, he definitely couldn't come up with that much money.

Since it wasn't him, it must be Li Qinglan.

But what ability does she have to scrape together a hundred thousand in a day?

"Heh."

"Li Qinglan, you're damn lucky!"

Li Jiaci said coldly.

But upon second thought,

Although this time he couldn't make her a pawn of the casino, the fleshly suffering she endured, which would make her feel bad for a while, could be counted as repaying some 'interest'.

As long as she remains in Pingzhou, he need not worry about missing an opportunity.

……

In the coming week,

Li Jiaci would busy himself at the factory during the day, and once it got dark, he'd go to the hospital to care for Wang Lan.

Seeing Wang Lan's body improve day by day, his guilt also gradually lessened.

Besides caring for Wang Lan, Li Jiaci occasionally had to spend a while in Wang Yingna's ward.

This guy could have been discharged long ago, yet he stubbornly stayed in the hospital, finding a new uncomfortable excuse each day, making Li Jiaci run around for him.

That night, after Li Jiaci had just helped Wang Lan wipe her body, a little nurse called him out.

The reason was that Wang Yingna had a stomachache and specifically requested his attendance.

Li Jiaci was speechless.

A grown man like him, all day serving as a servant to a little girl.

If word got out, wouldn't his brothers laugh their teeth off?

But after thinking it over, after all, that guy is Wang Zhen's younger sister, the apple of the Wang family's eye.

Out of respect for his brothers' face, he endured it and went over.

Li Jiaci greeted Wang Lan, then with a dark face went to Wang Yingna's ward.

At that moment, Wang Yingna was rolling on the bed, clutching her stomach.

"Hiss…"

Li Jiaci frowned: "What is she doing again?"

The little nurse beside him explained embarrassedly: "Doctor Zhang said she's been lying in bed long without moving, so her stomach is bloated; she needs to get out of bed and walk around, as long as the gas is released she'll be fine!"

"Li Jiaci, look what you've done—you've made me angry, now I have stomach gas!"

Wang Yingna threw a tantrum on the bed.

Li Jiaci asked: "How about going to the restroom for a while?"

"It's not that fart, oh no, it's not that gas!"

"You've made me so angry I'm muddled!"

Wang Yingna glared at him, then immediately stretched out her hand and said: "Come over and support me!"

Hearing that, Li Jiaci stood where he was, unmoving.

"I'm talking to you!"

"My brother told you to take good care of me, but you're always late and leaving early, making my illness worse!"

"Now I can't even order you around, right?"

Wang Yingna saw he wasn't coming over, and muttered a few more words.

"What the hell kind of attitude is this for someone asking for help?"

Li Jiaci crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

He was waiting.

Waiting for that guy to face the facts.

Wang Yingna furrowed her brows, both hands pressing on one side of her stomach, her expression somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing Li Jiaci with an attitude of "opening his mouth to beg me," she pursed her lips, really feeling uncomfortable, so she said: "Jiaci, help me……"

"Not enough."

"What else do you want me to do?"

Wang Yingna's forehead broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

She shifted her body to the edge of the bed, reaching out to grab Li Jiaci's arm.

But she grasped at air.

"Please, help me go out for a walk!"

"I have no strength now, I can't stand on my own!"

Li Jiaci shook his finger, smiling: "You've got that feeling, just put in a little more effort!"

Wang Yingna gave him a white-eye.

This bastard, taking advantage of someone's peril to get revenge!

But he messed with the wrong person.

Wang Yingna squeezed out a faint smile, her body swaying lightly as she fell forward.

The next second, a pair of strong big hands caught her falling body.

Wang Yingna's scheme succeeded; she seized the moment to hug Li Jiaci's arm, lifted her pitiful eyes, and softly said: "Jiaci bro, you really still care about me!"

"Cut it out, stand firm!"

Li Jiaci helped her upright.

But Wang Yingna was like she had no bones, soft and limp leaning against him.

"Oh dear, I really have no strength at all!"

"Jiaci bro, what am I to do without you?"

"Tough luck!"

Li Jiaci gave her a disdainful glance.

He somewhat regretted provoking this woman.

"Jiaci bro, your physique is nice, your arms are firm, let me squeeze……"

"Don't mess around!"

"Wow, you even have abs, lift your shirt so I can see!"

"Cut it out, cut it out, there are so many people around!"

"What's wrong? I'm not going to eat you!"

"Miss, I was wrong!"

Li Jiaci's shirt was lifted halfway, he hurriedly pressed it back down.

To divert Wang Yingna's wicked thoughts, he hurriedly asked: "You've been better for so long, why won't you leave the hospital?"

"Because here I can see you, and still have you take care of me!"

"You really treat me like a servant?"

"No, you're my good brother, good brother, let me touch your abs!"

"……"

"How did we end up going in circles again!"
