Chapter 472: The Girl In Glass (1/2)

Mr. Huang awoke, slowly sat up, and smiled, ”I knew you would find me!”

Perhaps due to his eventful night, Mr. Huang had fatigue engraved on his worn face. Sadness welled up inside of Xiaotao as she rubbed her red-rimmed eyes. ”I couldn’t have located you this quickly if it weren’t for Song Yang.”

Lips curled up in a grateful smile, Mr. Huang nodded and patted Xiaotao on the back. ”Don't cry. I’m alright thanks to this young man.”

”Him?” Xiaotao cast a look of doubt upon Two Scar.

From the moment Two Scar heard Xiaotao address Mr. Huang as her father, he was so frightened he was trembling.

”Dad, this guy robbed and threatened you,” Xiaotao pointed at Two Scar. “Would you like to file charges against him?”

Mr. Huang magnanimously spread his hands, ”For us businessmen, any voluntary exchange isn’t considered a threat! Last night, that bottle of mineral water and bowl of hot rice were more important to me than my suit and watch.”

He kindly looked at Two Scar and said, ”Young man, you can keep the suit and watch. Thank you for your care. I think you’ve got a good head for business. Stop wasting your life here. Go to the city and try your luck! Perhaps you’ll pave a career for yourself.”

Two Scar’s eyes were wide open in an expression of stunned surprise, perhaps touched by Mr. Huang’s kind words. Being a bottom-feeder used to crawling on his knees in a place like this, he had never received such affirmation or validation.

”Sir, I can't do that! That would be taking advantage of you. I promise to return your things!”

”No, keep them. I have more than I need!” Mr. Huang waved his hand.

Xiaotao threw me the key to the handcuffs so I could free Two Scar. ”Get us a cab!” I ordered. Two Scar left the garage while Xiaotao helped her father up.

By the time we got to the side of the road, Two Scar managed to hail a cab. When father and daughter got into the car, Two Scar whispered to me, ”Who is this old man? I could tell he was some big shot.”

I smiled, ”If you have time, turn to Nanjiang City’s financial channel. You’ll probably see his name there.”

”So, he is a rich man! Can you introduce me?”

This young man was fortunate we didn’t arrest him, yet he seemed to be pushing his luck. Ignoring him, I was about to leave when he interjected, “There’s something else I haven’t told you. If you introduce me to him, I’ll tell you.”

“Stop playing games,” I sneered. “What important information could you have to offer?”

”After I hid the old man last night, a bunch of people came looking for him and they looked like trouble,” he said.

”What did those people look like?” I asked.

”Back where? The police station? ” He looked nervous.

”Don't you have the guts? We already said we won’t detain you. This is your chance to change your life!”

Teeth gritted in firm resolve, he entered the cab with us.

Xiaotao and I were curious about the events that transpired last night. However, in view of our current location, we waited till we reached the station where we could have more privacy. Two Scar went with an officer to the sketch artist while we headed to the conference room with Mr. Huang.
