Chapter 15 (2/2)
”Morning, sister Pinmin!” I quietly walked out from the room and greeted the fine figure woman before me.
”Ah!” Yan Pinmin was frightened by me who crept out from the room.
”What are you looking at, boy, you'll get stye!” Yan Pinmin, now turn to face me, protested and hurriedly pull her nightwear tightly after she followed my leering gaze.
”l.u.s.t is nothing, nothing means l.u.s.t, humble monk… ah no, humble taoist like me seeing you glowing, I thought you must have had a good sleep yesterday?” I sneakily gulped my mouthful of saliva but answered her in a gentleman manner.
”Pffft! At the moment there, you're a monk and other moment, a taoist? Where are you heading on this early morning anyway? Move away, I need to change in my room.” Yan Pinmin squeeze through me with her hands fending off her chest. I lamented at her moves. Some words from a poem came up in a trance: Most scenic sight came from a perilous peak!
Right after Yan Pinmin done grooming, the time has reached 9.30 in the morning. I got Liu Jianjun's call right after I left her house. ”You lad, you have heard the news of her husband being scammed and involved in great debts, haven't you? That's why you're taking chance?”
”Yee? Being scammed? Tell me the details!” I glanced at Yan Pinmin through the corner of my eyes, acted nothing but continuing my questions to Liu Jianjun.
”He was in a partners.h.i.+p venturing in Gold Futures trades, when it's done he gets nothing. In other words, he is now broke. Moreover, he loaned a large sum of money for his startup. One interesting point is,he signed a life insurance for his wife, and he is the beneficiary.” Liu Jianjun briefly report what he had investigated.
”In this case, everything makes sense now.” My mind tweak a little and figure out some crucial points. Zhang Zhong is not only broke, he also owes a great debt, that's why he sneakily bought a life insurance plan for Yan Pinmin. If Yan Pinmin died, he'll claim a significant amount of money from the insurance company.
The ugly side of human often value money and interest before love and caring. I hope my guesses are wrong. But judging from now, Zhang Zhong is the biggest suspect to Yan Pinmin's mysterious ailments.
”Make sense of what?” Liu Jianjun asked.
”Nothing. I owe you one!” I hurriedly end my speech and hang up the phone.
”Who's on the phone with you? Who is being scammed? Your friend? If you need any help you can just ask me. I have nothing much, just ten thousands that I can still lend it you.” She said, after she roughly heard what I talked about being scammed. What a wonderful lady, could it be that in this world, there's no perfect marriage, and roses often end up in the hand of a sc.u.mbag?
”Just some small matter.” I flashed my grin at Yan Pinmin.
”Take this and keep it with you, I promise, every night will be a good night sleep.” I draw out a Fu talisman for nerve calming to Yan Pinmin. Since her house is surrounded with nice fengshui, it shouldn't have any problems if she didn't bring home some jumble of mess. The talisman will soothe and fix her tightening nerves.
”We're going in separately. You first,” Yan Pinmin halted her step and said as we are approaching to the entrance. A married woman like her going everywhere in pairs with a guy might incite gossips.
”Alright, I'll go first.” I scratched my head as I smile. I am now having the little feeling of having an affair. It kinda feels good, but in fact, there's really nothing I can get my hands on.
