Chapter 95: The Definition of Good and Evil in Human Nature (1/2)

Just as Zhao Qingfeng was about to leave, Huang Hao suddenly had a change of heart and spoke at length.

“Brother, I’m not stupid!”

“That day at the night market, you didn’t even want to have a drink with me. I’ve been around long enough to know everything. From the look in your eyes, you actually look down on me!”

“Yes.”

“I am a thug, a street gangster, everyone hates me!”

“But I want to say, I’m not entirely bad!”

“Last year, at the reservoir, I saved a drowning child. So many people watched, but no one went down, I almost drowned myself.”

“Really, you can check if you don’t believe me. Bashin and Chin Gentsai can vouch for me, it was even reported in the newspaper.”

“I didn’t take credit for doing a good deed, because I thought my identity didn’t deserve to show my face!”

“If I, Huang Hao, am lying, may I be struck by lightning right now!”

“I just want to say, can you not look down on me in the future? I’m in my twenties this year, I know this can’t go on, I want to change!”

After Huang Hao finished shouting, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He had intended to use Huang Hao, considering him a good expendable resource for doing dirty work. After all, if there were conflicts due to his uncle’s issues with the people of his Village, he needed someone by his side.

But he hadn’t expected Huang Hao to reveal so much of his inner thoughts.

Rescuing someone from drowning?

Zhao Qingfeng felt like he had heard this somewhere before.

He remembered.

Zhang Manman, the loudmouth, had once told a story in class about someone placing an ad in the newspaper to find their savior.

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly laughed.

He thought about human nature, always so complex.

Good and evil, right and wrong.

They always coexist within a person.

He turned back and looked at Huang Hao seriously for the first time.

This unrestrained yet ‘loyal’ Huang Hao suddenly seemed interesting in a different way.

Huang Hao was also looking at him, seemingly waiting for him to say something.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t speak, instead walking over and embracing him firmly.

Huang Hao was stunned.

He had never been hugged so firmly by anyone before.

After thirty seconds, when they separated, he looked into Zhao Qingfeng’s eyes again.

He noticed.

Now, Zhao Qingfeng’s eyes held a different kind of sincerity and an indescribable emotion.

“I was wrong just now, remember, if someone comes looking for trouble with my uncle, just call the police, don’t get physical.”

Zhao Qingfeng finished instructing, patted Huang Hao’s arm with a smile, and left.

Huang Hao watched his retreating back, taking a deep breath.

That hug had eased a lot of tension in his heart.

“Uncle, let’s go get a grill and try it out. I want to do barbecue tonight. I’ve been learning for two days, and I have two thousand yuan as capital, wanna give it a try?”

He kicked Chin Gentsai and Bashin, and after getting Feng Biao’s approval, the four hurried back to the beer factory residential building.

“Auntie!”

Upon seeing Qingfeng’s mother, Huang Hao suddenly knelt down, “I was wrong last time, here, I sincerely apologize to you!”

After speaking, he slapped himself several times.

Qingfeng’s mother was startled.

What was this all about?

She hurriedly asked Feng Biao what happened.

After Feng Biao explained everything, Qingfeng’s mother was moved and softly said, pulling Huang Hao up, “I actually know you. Were you one of the three kids begging for food near the Commercial City over a decade ago? You’ve forgotten me, but I helped you back then.”
