The engineer standing by was in an awkward situation, pondering how to ease the tension and regain the goodwill of this young man. Hearing this sentence, he was utterly dumbfounded.
This doesn't sound quite right?
"Didn't you deal with those gangsters to get my money back?"
The old man was surprised.
He thought the young man was bursting with a sense of justice, standing up for what's right.
"Did I say something like 'daylight robbery isn't very good'?"
Lin Baici countered.
The old man nodded.
"I never said I would help you retrieve your money!"
Lin Baici smiled faintly.
"..."
The old man recalled carefully and was immediately infuriated.
Indeed,
He never promised to help him get his money back.
Lin Baici casually counted the cash he just acquired.
If the old man had been friendlier before, Lin Baici might have helped him get his money back. But the old man was sarcastic and even asked him to move away, not to disturb his business...
