Chapter 85: A Brother with a Strong Sense of Justice (2/2)

The ten thousand yuan he won didn’t really go into his pocket, at most he could get two thousand, and even then, he had to wait until the land was occupied.

Doing the math, losing two thousand was bearable.

He sighed, glaring resentfully at Huang Hao before swiftly walking to the counter and throwing down two thousand yuan on the floor, “Huang Hao, you truly live up to being an orphan, so ungrateful. How come you didn’t starve to death on the streets back then! Get lost, we’re done here!”

Huang Hao felt hurt, but as a big brother, he needed to act confidently.

Bashin and Chin Gentsai cheerfully picked up the money.

Zhao Qingfeng reminded the fat boss, “Let my uncle go.”

The fat boss glared fiercely at Zhao Qingfeng, “You damn kid, playing tricks on me, huh? Fine, I’ll remember you. Don’t you dare come here to play again! Old Liu, release him!”

A minute later, Feng Biao stumbled out, looking dazed.

He had just had a couple of beers, bracing himself to make a scene, only to find everything already resolved. He quickly asked Zhao Qingfeng in confusion, “Little Feng, you paid back the money? Where did it come from?”

“We won it. Let’s go, I’ll explain at home.”

Zhao Qingfeng pulled Feng Biao along, calling Zhang Yang, and left Emperor’s Fun Arcade with Huang Hao and the others.

Feng Biao, seeing daylight again, was overjoyed.

After hearing the story, he grabbed Zhao Qingfeng’s hand, “Little Feng, you’re on a lucky streak, you must have borrowed my luck! Let’s go back and play a few more rounds, we really need the money now!”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head and sent his uncle and Zhang Yang home first, then took Huang Hao aside to clarify their relationship. The big brother acknowledgment was vague and needed clarity.

Zhao Qingfeng stayed silent, smiling at Huang Hao.

Huang Hao, having thought it over, said, “Zhao Qingfeng, you sly dog, you planned this from the moment you acknowledged me as your big brother, right?”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, “Yes, but I had no choice. And I haven’t treated you badly; here’s two thousand yuan as a token of gratitude.”

Huang Hao still questioned, “Aren’t you heartbroken? That’s two thousand yuan, a huge sum in 2001.”

Zhao Qingfeng humbly said, “Good horses deserve good saddles, and good swords are for heroes. Without your unyielding spirit, I couldn’t have resolved this crisis. I value righteousness above all.”

Huang Hao was deeply moved by the word ‘righteousness’. He took out five hundred yuan and handed it to Zhao Qingfeng, “If that’s the case, we’re friends. I was wrong before and I apologize. Take this money, and call me if you need anything.”

Zhao Qingfeng smiled inwardly. Huang Hao seemed sincere.

He accepted the money and then returned it, “I’ll accept it and then give it back to you. Buy a pair of shoes, I’ll go home and contact you later.”

Huang Hao was moved again but didn’t mention Zhang Wuping’s instructions. Zhao Qingfeng waved it off, “He’s just a small fry. After the university entrance exam, once my mom calms down, I’ll deal with him and his dad, see you.”

Zhao Qingfeng left stylishly.

Huang Hao wanted to say something but didn’t. He kicked Bashin and Chin Gentsai, “Let’s go, find a stall to drink and chat.”

“Forget about asking him how he won the money.”

“Let’s talk next time we meet.”

“The two thousand is a lot, but it’ll be gone once spent. Maybe we should do something proper like starting a barbecue business?”

“Hey, are you even listening? All you care about is counting money!”

The next morning, Shen Lingyao pinched Zhao Qingfeng’s ear, “Brother Qingfeng, I can’t go to Uncle Biao’s this weekend. My dad insists on taking me to the provincial city to meet Wang Jian and see the world. I don’t want to go, what should I do…”
