62: Chapter 62 If he doesn't gamble, who can set up a trap for him?

She pointed toward the place where her sister lived.

Yang Wenying finally voiced her purpose.

"I, well, I want you to help my sister..."

Yang Wenying spoke hesitantly, her expression awkward as she brought it up.

Luo Wei had already known about this through today's intelligence.

He wasn't surprised, but he was curious.

"Why did you come to me? Is it because I used to be on good terms with Tang Hui?"

"Yes, that's one of the reasons..." Yang Wenying continued to explain sheepishly.

"Actually, my sister wanted to contact you. Yesterday, she saw someone in the class group chat saying you made a million in a single day..."

"She probably couldn't bring herself to ask you for help, so after I noted down your number, I called you secretly."

So that was it. Yesterday, he had posed as a Metaphysics master at Taian Company and fleeced Li Taian for a million.

Presumably, Brother Hao had leaked the news, which was how the others found out.

Under normal circumstances, Luo Wei wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.

But for the sake of intelligence points, he nodded.

"Let's go. Take me to see your sister."

"Okay!" Yang Wenying's face immediately filled with anticipation.

It seemed Luo Wei was going to help her sister for the sake of their old school ties!

However, after walking a few steps, Luo Wei suddenly stopped.

Yang Wenying's heart skipped a beat, thinking Luo Wei had changed his mind.

"I recall Tang Hui having a daughter, right?"

"You mean Shuangshuang?" Yang Wenying hurried to explain. "My sister takes Shuangshuang with her every day now; she can't even go to work."

Luo Wei nodded. He looked around and then entered a convenience store.

When he walked out, he was carrying a carton of milk and a large bag of snacks.

Witnessing this, Yang Wenying felt a warmth in her heart. She had thought Luo Wei was backing out, but he was actually planning to buy snacks for the child.

Led by Yang Wenying, Luo Wei walked through the narrow alleys of the Urban Village.

"I've been trying to convince my sister to move in with me."

"But she doesn't want to be a burden to me."

Yang Wenying explained as they walked.

They went up to the second floor of a low, old, self-built house.

Luo Wei's keen hearing picked up the sound of someone crying inside.

Yang Wenying raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Sister, I'm here!"

After a short while, footsteps approached from inside, and the door opened.

Yang Qian had wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still rimmed with red, clearly showing she had been crying.

Yang Wenying was instantly filled with rage. "Sister, why are you crying? Did that bastard Tang Hui come by?"

"No..." Yang Qian was about to explain, but then she saw Luo Wei standing outside the door.

Her eyes flickered with panic, and she hurriedly lowered her head, overwhelmed by embarrassment.

In the past, she had been a radiant presence.

Now, she had practically fallen into the mud.

She especially didn't want to be seen by her former classmates and friends.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I took it upon myself to contact Luo Wei," Yang Wenying apologized awkwardly.

Yang Qian kept her head down, clutching her clothes and biting her lip. At this moment, she wished she could crawl into a hole.

"Mama..." A weak voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"I'm so dizzy, so hot..."

Hearing the voice, Yang Qian hurriedly turned and ran back into the bedroom.

Yang Wenying felt something was wrong and quickly followed. "What's wrong with Shuangshuang?"

Luo Wei entered the house and placed the things he was carrying on the table.

The interior was very simple, but it was kept neat and tidy.

Yang Wenying's startled cry came from the bedroom.

"Shuangshuang has a high fever! Sister, why didn't you take her to the hospital?"

"I... I don't have any money..."

"Honestly, you should have called me!"

"Maybe this is just Shuangshuang's fate, ugh..."

"Don't cry. Hurry up and get ready, we're taking Shuangshuang to the hospital!"

Hearing the dialogue from the room, Luo Wei picked up a child's water cup from the table.

He filled it halfway with water, then took out the spirit liquid and added a single drop into the cup.

By then, Yang Wenying had already emerged from the room, carrying a little girl of about four or five.

"Let her drink some of this; it might help break the fever." Luo Wei wasn't sure if the spirit liquid could cure illnesses, but it was harmless, so drinking a bit would certainly be fine.

Yang Wenying caught a whiff of a rich fragrance. She didn't know what Luo Wei had added to the water.

She quickly brought the cup to the little girl's lips.

The little girl gulped it down, finishing the half-cup of water in one go.

Her previously dazed state immediately became alert.

She recognized Yang Wenying and suddenly giggled. "Auntie..."

"Huh?" Yang Wenying was astonished. Tang Shuangshuang's flushed skin was returning to normal at a visible rate.

She reached out to feel her forehead; the skin that had been burning hot just moments ago had now cooled down.

She looked at Luo Wei in disbelief, wondering what kind of miracle medicine he had given Tang Shuangshuang.

Luo Wei smiled and didn't explain. "It's good that she's recovered."

"Eh?" The little girl noticed Luo Wei.

"Auntie, who is he? Is he your boyfriend?"

Yang Wenying blushed instantly. This Tang Shuangshuang was really a little rascal.

"Call him Uncle. Uncle bought you lots of yummy treats!"

"Uncle!" Tang Shuangshuang's voice was very sweet.

"Good girl." Luo Wei pinched her porcelain-like little cheek.

Tang Shuangshuang's fever had completely broken and she was back to normal. Yang Wenying set her down in disbelief.

She dashed over to the snacks and looked expectantly at her mother, Yang Qian.

Only after receiving Yang Qian's permission did she take a lollipop out of the bag.

Luo Wei didn't expect the Little Lolita to hold the lollipop out to him. "Uncle, you have it!"

"Thanks, but I don't really like sweets. I'll unwrap it for you."

"Mm-hmm, Uncle is so nice!"

Taking the unwrapped lollipop from Luo Wei, the little girl scurried back into the room to enjoy it.

Such a good and cute child—how could Tang Hui bear to let her suffer like this!

Luo Wei's expression suddenly turned grim, and the atmosphere in the room grew heavy!

"Where is Tang Hui?" Luo Wei looked at Yang Qian. "What exactly happened? How did you lose such a large family business?"

Yang Qian lowered her head and began to cry again. Yang Wenying explained from the side, "I told you before, Tang Hui developed a gambling addiction and lost the factory..."

"That's not it..." Yang Qian couldn't help but defend him. "He was set up by those people..."

"You're still protecting him!" Yang Wenying was furious. "If he didn't go to gamble, who could have set him up?"

Yang Qian lowered her head, speechless.

Just then, several sets of footsteps were heard outside.

This was followed by a series of violent knocks on the door!

"Tang Hui, open up!"

"Pay back the money, now!"

Yang Wenying was incensed and marched over to yank the door open.

She then barked fiercely at the people outside, "Tang Hui isn't here!"

"Also, Tang Hui is divorced from my sister. He owes you money, so go find him!"

"I'm warning you, if you dare come harassing us again, I'll call the police immediately and have you sent to prison!"

The debt collectors standing outside weren't at all intimidated by the feisty Yang Wenying.

They were just about to start mocking her, but in the next second...

Their expressions changed drastically...
