Fangzheng said, “After hearing what you said, This Penniless Monk is also very curious about how your father passed away. In that case, let’s go down the mountain to take a look…”
Upon hearing Fangzheng agree, Cai Yufen was immediately delighted. “Thank you, Master…” As she spoke, she was about to kneel down. Fangzheng hurriedly stopped her and said with a wry smile, “Patron, This Penniless Monk really can’t take it if you keep kneeling. Can we get along well?”
When Cai Yufen saw Fangzheng suddenly reveal a boy-next-door smile, she was immediately amused.
Perhaps it was because she had heard that Fangzheng was willing to help, or perhaps it was because of this smile that she relaxed. Cai Yufen rolled her eyes and fainted.
“Master?” Red Boy asked worriedly.
Fangzheng shook his head and said, “It’s fine. Her nerves were too tense. It’s been too long since she had a good rest. Let her have a good rest. Jingxin, you should stay on the mountain this time. It’ll be troublesome if more patrons come again.”
Although Red Boy was a little displeased, he had just left the mountain and since his master had given the order, he could only agree.
“Master, since Senior Brother is staying, can I go with you?” Salted Fish looked pitifully at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng smiled. “Sure, but…”
Salted Fish immediately took out a black cloth from his scales and said, “I’ve washed it. It’s clean. I promise I won’t move!”
Upon seeing how well prepared the fellow was, and in addition, Fangzheng really needed a disciple who knew divine powers to follow him, so he agreed. Having him was convenient to deal with any emergencies he encountered.
Salted Fish was instantly overjoyed…
Fangzheng looked at Lone Wolf and asked, “Jingfa, are you going?”
Lone Wolf’s legs went limp when he heard that. He hurriedly shouted, “Master, I think I’m quite good at guarding the monastery.”
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. From the looks of it, this fellow was truly afraid of starving. He refused to leave the mountain no matter what.
However, Fangzheng ignored him. After wrapping Salted Fish up, he got Red Boy to bring him and Cai Yufen out of the mountains. When they were outside, Red Boy returned. Fangzheng placed Cai Yufen under a tree to enjoy its shade. He sat by the side and quietly… played with his cell phone.
Before long, Cai Yufen woke up. When she saw that she was outside the mountains, she jumped up in fright and exclaimed, “Master… Master Fangzheng? Aren’t you going to help me? Master…”
In her panic, she thought that Fangzheng had thrown her out. She was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t even notice the monk sitting beside her.
“Patron, who are you looking for?” Fangzheng was rendered speechless. He was a huge living person, but she couldn’t see his bright head…
When Cai Yufen heard that, she turned her head abruptly. There was no one around. She was so frightened that she cried on the spot. “Am I hearing things?”
“Patron, look down.” Fangzheng felt helpless.
Cai Yufen lowered her head when she heard that. When she saw the bitter-looking Fangzheng, she immediately looked embarrassed. She looked pitifully at Fangzheng and said, “Master… That… I… I was just too…”
Fangzheng shook his head and said, “Patron, there’s no need to say that. This Penniless Monk understands what you mean. There’s no harm in it… If it were anyone else, they would panic.”
Cai Yufen placed all her hopes on Fangzheng. If Fangzheng suddenly disappeared, it would be strange if she didn’t panic. This was just like how some people would go mad if they suddenly lost the money needed to save a life…
“Thank you, Master…” Cai Yufen said cautiously and gratefully.
“Patron, there’s no need for you to be so nervous. Since This Penniless Monk has promised to return with you, This Penniless Monk will not leave midway. This Penniless Monk is only an ordinary person. There’s no need for you to be so restrained,” said Fangzheng.
“Oh… okay.” Although Cai Yufen said that, her body was still stiff.
Fangzheng was helpless as well. All he could do was not persuade Cai Yufen, in case she became even more embarrassed.
“Patron, where is your house? Let’s head over directly.” Fangzheng changed the topic.
At the mention of returning home, Cai Yufen’s mind finally began to clear up. She led Fangzheng to a nearby bus stop and bought two high-speed rail tickets. After a day, they finally arrived at Cai Yufen’s house at Guangxi, Beihai City.
After getting off the train, Fangzheng could clearly feel Cai Yufen’s heart being shrouded in a layer of gloom and misery.
Fangzheng did not say a word. All he did was pat her shoulder, indicating for her to lead the way.
Under Cai Yufen’s lead, the two of them arrived at the construction site where her father’s accident happened. Upon seeing the construction site, Cai Yufen gritted her teeth and said, “It’s here… The police stopped their work so that they could cooperate with the investigation, but they didn’t listen at all. They work every day. When the police arrive, they stop. Once the police leave, they continue. These people don’t even care about the law!”
Fangzheng looked at the bustling construction site. When he looked up, he could see a long banner with the words: “The Yonggui Garden project.”
“Master, I’ll bring you to the spot,” said Cai Yufen.
Fangzheng nodded and followed Cai Yufen into the construction site. At that moment, the temperature was at 31°C. It was in the middle of the day, and the entire construction site looked like a huge stove under the sun. When they passed by other construction sites, Fangzheng noticed that the construction sites had stopped working. The workers were either not in the construction site, or they were drinking water, playing cards, and eating watermelons in the shade.
But in this construction site, all the workers were present. All the machines were running at full capacity, as if they wanted to finish building and sell it.
When they saw Cai Yufen coming again, many workers subconsciously stopped their work and looked over. Some of them lowered their heads and turned around to leave, as if they were hiding from something.
Some people were discussing things in hush voices…
At that moment, a supervisor with a safety helmet and two security guards walked over. “Cai Yufen, why are you here again?”
When Cai Yufen saw him, she was instantly infuriated. “Song Gongyi, I came to see the spot where my father passed away. Can’t I?”
“No, why are you so stubborn? Didn’t you go through the judicial process? Then you can wait for the police to finish their investigations. Once the court figures out what happened, wouldn’t it all be over? We have the obligation to cooperate with them, but we don’t have the obligation to cooperate with you. Do you understand? Now that you’re here, you’re hindering our progress. Do you believe I’ll make you compensate us?” Song Gongyi glared at Cai Yufen and said arrogantly.
Cai Yufen was obviously not good at arguing about such matters. She was infuriated by Song Gongyi’s words and said angrily, “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe that you can settle everything with just some stinking money!”
Song Gongyi smiled and said, “This isn’t a matter of money. It’s a problem that so many people saw what happened. Your dad just passed away like that. We will compensate what needs to be compensated and give the necessary apologies. As for you, do whatever you need to be doing. Don’t make trouble here, okay? Who is this? He’s quite unfamiliar. Your boyfriend? His bald head is quite bright.”
Cai Yufen said angrily, “What nonsense are you spouting? He is…”
“Amitabha. This Penniless Monk is Fangzheng,” said Fangzheng with a smile.
