Chapter 1359 1325: Making Amends

Xiangbei District is the most inconspicuous area under the jurisdiction of Binhai City.

Most of the people who can live here are migrant workers living at the bottom of society because, compared to the high housing prices in Binhai City, both the housing prices and living necessities here are the most suitable for them in the entire Binhai City.

In Xiangbei District, there is a place called [Jinxiu District], which is considered the most comprehensive community in terms of living facilities within Xiangbei District.

At least in this part of Xiangbei District, those who can live in Jinxiu District are already considered 'rich people'.

On this day, as usual, five o'clock in the evening is the busiest time for this community.

Because those who have been busy outside all day mostly return to their homes at this time, ready to enjoy the most relaxing moment of the day.

Outside the community is a bustling market and snack street.

Here, some people are preparing to buy groceries at the market and go home to cook;

there are also those bringing their families, ready to find a restaurant for dinner;

it seems this day is no different from usual.

But soon, the original calm here was broken by a series of exclamations:

"Look, so many luxury cars!"

"Is some big deal figure coming?"

"Isn't that the million-level luxury Huace car that was just released? Damn! I heard it's not even available for public sale yet, isn't it said that you can't buy it, no matter how rich you are?"

"Who is this, that they can bring it out so quickly."

"I wonder who they are looking for with such a grand display."

…

When a row of top-notch cars paraded through the market, it immediately caused a great sensation in this area.

Maybe the people living here are not wealthy.

But it doesn't limit their knowledge.

As soon as these luxury cars appeared, they knew that the people sitting in these cars at this moment are existences they might never be able to reach in several lifetimes.

In a shop called [Lanzhou Noodles], a slightly elderly middle-aged man was looking with a face of surprise at the scene through the transparent door.

Xiao Zhen was lost in thought, looking at the row of almost never-seen luxury cars parked across the street, when a teasing voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts:

"What's so interesting about it."

"In any case, we'll never have the chance to ride in such cars in this lifetime."

The middle-aged man, upon hearing this, showed a hint of embarrassment that all adult men understand.

He turned to look at his only daughter beside him, still shaking his head to refute:

"You can't say that so absolutely."

"I've heard of people playing games who got some kind of rare equipment and made millions by selling it."

"What if your dad is just as lucky?"

"You must know that your dad is now part of a top hundred guild in the Hua Country War Zone, you know."

The woman paused her actions upon hearing this.

Xiao Xiaojin suddenly put down her chopsticks, looking up at her obviously robust but already aged father, felt a burst of heartache:

"Didn't I tell you not to play games? Why are you playing again."

"This game is for young people to play, you can play casually if you want."

"Why join a guild! Playing games also takes a lot of energy!"

"Don't you know about your current physical condition? Can you have a good rest at home, don't make me worry!"

Listening to the girl's reproachful but caring words, Xiao Zhen smiled slowly:

"It's not as exaggerated as you say."

"I just take some time to play a while every day, no need to worry."

Is it just playing a while?

Xiao Xiaojin knew her father's character all too well.

But she also didn't interrupt to expose this clumsy lie, because on this topic, saying more would just be an endless loop.

Xiao Xiaojin was silent for a moment, but she still showed a guilty look on her face, hanging her head as she said:

"Dad."

"I'm sorry."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaojin didn't know how to continue.

Obviously, Xiao Zhen knew what his daughter was thinking at the moment.

Then Xiao Zhen lovingly patted Xiao Xiaojin's hair, appearing relaxed as he said:

"Your sister and your mother have already cruelly left us."

"Now I only have you by my side, who would I help if not you."

As he spoke, the man once again looked up at the row of young men and women getting off the luxury cars across the street, his tone filled with emotion and self-blame:

"Still, blame your father for being useless."

"Otherwise, we father and daughter wouldn't have fallen to this point."

But just at this moment, Xiao Zhen was suddenly attracted by a white-clad man getting off the car.

Perhaps there was some telepathy, the other party also looked over at this time.

The two just met eyes without any preparation.

But as soon as they met the other's eyes.

Xiao Zhen, this middle-aged man in his fifties, felt timid and withdrew under the gaze of this youth in his twenties.

At this moment, Guo Shaojie looked at the data in his hand, then said to Lin Yi:

"It should be him."

Lin Yi looked at the crowd around him discussing incessantly, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face:

"If I'd known, I would have come by myself."

Obviously, Guo Shaojie also hadn't anticipated this situation.

After all, for a top rich second generation like Guo Shaojie, this row of luxury cars in front of him is just a slightly more comfortable means of transport.

But since things had come to this, Lin Yi didn't say anything further, and he headed toward the small restaurant across the street.

At this time, Ouyang Hao and Xiao He intuitively assumed the roles of bodyguards.

Before Lin Yi entered the door, Ouyang Hao and Xiao He had already used the power of 'money' to clear out the diners inside.

Also allowing the owner to earn a small profit, they packed up and went home early.

Inside this space that could accommodate twenty to thirty people, only the somewhat uneasy Xiao Zhen and Xiao Xiaojin were left.

Just when Xiao Zhen was preparing to get up and leave, he was stopped by Xiao Xiaojin who said:

"They seem to be here to find us, do you think we can escape like this?"

"Rather than that, we might as well stay and see what they intend to do."

At this moment, it's not just Lin Yi.

Zhang Xinying, Zhan Tianpeng, Ouyang Jing, Dongfang Jing, and other members of the Creation Mercenary Corps, who among them looks like ordinary people?

The appearance of these people here, even a fool knows that it's probably not a simple matter.

Xiao Xiaojin didn't know what connection there could be between their two ordinary people and the other side, to make them go to such great lengths to come here.

But soon.

An exclamation turned the originally small whispers around into a strong uproar.

Because soon someone recognized the leading Lin Yi.

After all, posters of Lin Yi now fill the streets and alleys.

And at this moment, Lin Yi, under a group of fiery gazes, pushed open the glass door and came inside:

"Boss, give me a bowl of beef noodles, light on the spice."

The shop owner, who was originally preparing to pack up for early closing, suddenly heard this voice and immediately responded:

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Although Xiao Xiaojin doesn't play games, she recognized this legendary figure often talked about by her colleagues at first sight:

"Feng Hua the Great?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly, then pointed to the chair opposite the two and asked:

"May I sit down?"
