Chapter: 420

After that, everyone dispersed during wartime, so they couldn't find each other.

Xiao Yi Qian's father never forgot about this matter until his death, so he left a will for Xiao Yi Qian to find a way to thank their benefactor.

However, Xiao Yi Qian didn't take it seriously. Although he promised his father, after his father passed away, he just forgot about it and moved on.

It wasn't until recently that he kept having bad dreams. In the dream, his old master came back to scold him for not keeping his promise. This time, Xiao Yi Qian finally sought the help of a fortune teller who said that his father's will was very strong. If he didn't fulfill it, his father might come back to haunt him in his dreams again.

Helpless, Xiao Yi Qian had to spend money hiring people to search for clues everywhere. He finally found a lead about the Golden City's Shao family.

Mrs. Shao heard this story and was so excited that she almost cried.

This is really like being stuck in a dead-end road with no way out, but then finding a new path. It's truly amazing!

The Congregation of Humility is a publicly traded company worth over $10 billion. If Xiao Yi Qian just moves his fingers, he might be able to help the Shao family escape their predicament.

Xiao Yi Qian nodded slightly, sighed and said, "After all, it's a debt of life. My father has never forgotten this over the years."

He then took out a high-end red jewelry box from his pocket, handed it to Xiao Laotai, saying, "My father instructed me before he passed away that I must definitely give this item to Xiao Laozi, but since Xiao Laozi is no longer with us, I'll just pass it on to you."

Xiao Laotai was initially expecting something extraordinary as a token of gratitude and excitemently took the box, opened it and suddenly felt bewildered.

It's actually an old bullet casing?!

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Xiao Laotai looked at Xiao Yi Qian with utmost puzzlement: "Sir Xiao, what is...this?"

Xiao Yi Qian hastily said, "This is the bullet casing that shot my dad during the Japanese invasion. My dad had it removed by Xiao Laozi using a small red knife and has carried it with him ever since. Before he passed away, he told me to give it to Xiao Laozi as a memento."

Xiao Laotai's heart was about to burst in anger.

What kind of crazy thing is this?

You saved my dad's life, and you're sending an old bullet casing as a memento?

You're really too stingy, aren't you? Don't you understand what it means by "a drop of water repays a spring"?

This old bullet casing isn't even worth a penny, and besides, it's been inside someone's body. What a mess! You give me this thing for what purpose?! Why not just give us 1.8 million to get us through this tough time?!

Xiao Laotai thought about this and said with a sad face: "I never would have imagined that your father was such a sentimental person. If he knew we Xiao family are now facing a calamity, I'm sure he would definitely come to our aid."

Xiao Yi Qian's expression froze, thinking to himself, What the heck is going on? Haven't even spoken three sentences and you're asking for money?!

But since he had come to help his grandfather settle an old score, he didn't want to be too inconsiderate. So he just nodded along and asked: "Xiao Laotai, don't you know what kind of calamity is affecting your family right now?"

Xiao Laotai hurriedly said: "We have a construction company called Xiao Group, which was originally very prosperous. However, we're currently facing some financial difficulties and are on the verge of bankruptcy. We're trying to raise some capital..."

Xiao Yi Qian nodded and smiled: "Xiao Laotai, you can see from my face that I'm a lucky person. Don't worry, I believe Xiao family will definitely be able to turn adversity into good fortune!" JrNovels.com
