Han Xiang thought of Chang Ying's racing talent and his outstanding performance in the future. She asked, "Do you like racing cars?"
"Hey, I'm just repairing a car. How would you know that I like...?"
Chang Ying still wanted to retort. Looking at Han Xiang's clear eyes, he mumbled, "I can't hide anything from you. You're so cunning."
However, in the original book, Chang Ying had become famous and became a professional racer many years later. His "older" identity was also a hot topic until he won the first race championship for Z Nation in nearly ten years. The name "Chang Ying" was truly put on the altar.
However, racing was also a profession where one had to be youthful. After playing for a few years, Chang Ying had no choice but to withdraw from the racing industry due to his declining physical condition. This also broke the hearts of many fans.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Han Xiang was a little puzzled. Such a talented athlete should not be buried anywhere.
"Pfft, do you think that this road can be taken by the children of poor families? You can't do anything without money."
Chang Ying answered as he fastened the screw, adding, "I don't want your money. Your pocket money is not enough. I've been working as a sparring partner at the car racing club recently, and their salary is quite high."
Was it about money? Han Xiang suddenly remembered that Grandpa Han had given her a card with 20 million yuan in it.
When she checked the balance, she couldn't even count the zeros. She was shocked by this number for a long time before she recovered. Moreover, this card had her account name. It was different from the debit card that the Han couple had given her. No one would be able to find out anything about it, so it was very convenient for her to do something secretly.
In other words, this was a gift that Grandpa Han had given to Han Xiang. It was a gift that belonged solely to her, and no one else knew about it.
However, Han Xiang did not try to mention it. She knew that if she wanted be friends with Chang Ying, it would be best not to mention anything about the difference in social class between the two of them.
For a moment, there was silence. Chang Ying focused on fixing the car. Han Xiang picked up a small stool and quietly watched Chang Ying fiddle with the things.
"Eh? You really don't remember things from the past?" Chang Ying suddenly spoke and looked at Han Xiang, who was holding her chin in a daze.
"Yes." Han Xiang nodded.
"Then you still remember me. At least you have a conscience, Haha."
When Chang Ying heard this, he was both happy and sad. Then, he added, "Then are you still prepared to subsidize the Welfare Institute? A few days ago, the director called and asked you to stop giving things. He wants you to focus on your studies."
"Of course, I have to continue. It was you who gave the stuff to them, not me."
Han Xiang did not hesitate and answered very straightforwardly.
Ever since she went to the Welfare Institute with Chang Ying the last time, Han Xiang understood where the original protagonist's time and pocket money were spent.
She saved up to buy clothes, food, stationery, and books for the children. She also invested money into the renovation of the Welfare Institute. She came here every day. Even if the director did not allow her to come, she would ask Chang Ying to send something over.
Chang Ying was also a child of the Welfare Institute. No one had adopted him. When he became an adult, he started to work at an auto repair factory and could support himself.
"Hmm... When you were kidnapped, how did you escape?" When Chang Ying mentioned this, he looked at Han Xiang hesitantly.
Han Xiang naturally began to recall and slowly explained the incident to Chang Ying.
Who knew that after Chang Ying finished listening, he would ask, "Do you feel that... something is not right?"
Something was not right? Han Xiang immediately reacted. Chang Ying must have noticed something was not right.
"I don't know. When my parents went to investigate, the police said that it was a sudden kidnapping case on the street. The arrested human trafficker said that he saw that I was alone and beautiful, and that I could be sold for a good price, so he had evil intentions."
The lucrative business of child trafficking happened everywhere. No matter how much they tried to investigate, there was no result, so the Han couple gave up.
"What were you going to do at that time?" Chang Ying stopped what she was doing and stared at her seriously.
"I forgot, but the according to the confession of the human trafficker, he knocked me out near the Huadu District residential area and took me away."
"Huadu District? You were here to look for me?!"
When Han Xiang heard this, she immediately understood. That was right, the Huadu District was nearby. The original protagonist had gone to look for Chang Ying!
When he found out about this, Chang Ying frowned. As if he remembered something, he stood up and said, "Let's go. Han Xiang, you'll come with me!"
Chang Ying's motorcycle sped all the way to a street.
And this was near the Huadu District where Han Xiang was abducted.
The Huadu District was an old, open community. It had been built as early as the last century. When the city developed, it became a suburb. It was more like a pile of dilapidated buildings, with dirty alleys shuttling through.
Chang Ying threw a helmet at Han Xiang, motioning her to put it on. Then he led Han Xiang into a dilapidated billiard hall and went straight inside.
Han Xiang followed closely, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she was still a step too late.
When they entered the room, they saw Chang Ying pressing a thug-like person to the ground. The thug nicknamed "Goldie" was gritting his teeth and begging for mercy. The few thugs beside him were like sitting ducks, not daring to move.
"Chang, c'mon, please spare my life. Let's talk it out."
Chang Ying pressed the person's head to the ground again and cursed, "Something happened to my sister in your territory. Don't you dare say you don't know about it! I'll cut off your ears!"
They knew Chang Ying's "sister". She often hung out with Chang Ying in this area. She had a bad temper and was fierce in fights. They did not dare provoke her.
"This is just a misunderstanding, Chang! It's a huge misunderstanding!"
Chang Ying did not waste any more time with him. He took out a small knife from his pocket and pressed the blade against Goldie's ear. Traces of red blood seeped out.
Then, the yellow-haired man shouted, "I remember! I remember!"
Only then did Chang Ying release him and wait for him to speak properly.
The yellow-haired man immediately moved two meters away from Chang Ying and said hesitantly, "Chang, please, whatever I say, don't expose me. Otherwise, I will be beaten to death by Niu."
Niu was the leader of the gangsters in this area. The gangsters would go after the nearby residents to collect protection fees, so Niu would look for more gangsters to do the collection of the protection fees and earn even more.
"En, alright, speak clearly." Chang Ying nodded and pulled Han Xiang over. He held the billiard table with one hand and glared at the yellow-haired guy.
The yellow-haired guy shrank back and said, "It's Niu... last time, Niu told us to pay attention to your sister's movements. He said that once he saw her appear in the vicinity alone, he would tell him the news... and then..."
Then, Goldie was punched in the face, and his whole body fell to the ground.
He immediately cried out, "Chang, I was brainwashed by Niu! When I saw that your sister was taken away, I regretted it, but I didn't dare call the police!"
Was it Niu who ordered it? Now that they had found a clue, the two had an idea. But before he left, Chang Ying still beat up all the gangsters present and said harshly, "If you dare have any ideas about my sister again, I'll make sure none of you get out alive."
Looking at Chang Ying's violent outbursts, Han Xiang finally understood where the original protagonist learned her fighting skills from. She did not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
However, according to Chang Ying, Niu was different from the thugs who committed many evil deeds. He was the type to seem strait-laced on the outside, but was evil on the inside, aka a "dignified sewer rat".
Niu usually ran a barbecue grill. He was cheerful and straightforward, and he chatted a lot with the nearby residents. Everyone was willing to patronize his business, but the residents did not know that... Niu was the mastermind behind the operation that instructed the gangsters to harass the residents and collect protection fees.
If they attacked him, the repercussions would not be easy to handle.
However, Han Xiang had an idea. What was a dignified sewer rat most afraid of?
Therefore, she called her eldest brother, Han Yuan, and told him about this matter. Han Yuan quickly agreed and said that he would come over in twenty minutes and asked Han Xiang to wait for him.
Chang Ying was very surprised to hear Han Xiang acting coquettishly and aggrievedly on the phone. "Ms. Ma'am, aren't you not on good terms with your brothers at home?"
"Oh, about that. Once our misunderstandings were resolved, our relationship got be better. This is my oldest brother, Han Yuan." It was hard to say how much effort Han Xiang had put into improving the relationship, so Han Xiang could only play it by ear.
Very soon, Han Yuan arrived in his car. This time, he was driving a Volkswagen and was very low-key. Han Xiang almost did not realize that he had arrived. Suddenly, she realized that there was a person standing behind her. Only then did she realize that this was the Han family's oldest son.
"Ah! You scared me to death. Big brother, are you a spy?" Han Xiang was shocked and patted her chest.
"Haha." Han Yuan was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
After listening to Han Xiang's story, Han Yuan nodded and had an idea of what to do.
Then, he told the two of them to find a place to rest and he would handle it. After all, it was not easy for the two of them to show up. However, under Han Xiang's strong request, he agreed and the two of them could watch from afar.
When they came to Niu's barbeque grill, the sign at the front of the grill said it was open. Han Xiang and Chang Ying chose a plastic chair each at the door and sat down, waiting for the show to start.
Niu was not in the grill, so he was probably in the kitchen. Seeing Han Yuan walk over step by step, Han Xiang had an inexplicable trust in him, and she could not help but shake her feet.
Chang Ying looked at the little girl and was a little jealous. He deliberately asked, "Hey, who do you think is more handsome, me or your brother?"
Han Yuan was already 23 years old. In terms of actual military service, he had already served for five years, not to mention that he had received military training since he was young. Clearly, he was more manly than Chang Ying, who had just turned 18.
Therefore, Han Xiang rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"Don't be childish," Han Xiang said with a scoff.
Being called childish by a 12-year-old girl, made Chang Ying feel a little ashamed, so he quieted down to watch Han Yuan operate.
Han Yuan shouted a few times, and a fat man with big ears walked out of the kitchen and chatted with Han Yuan for a while. Then, Han Yuan took something out of his shirt pocket. Niu turned around and wanted to run, but was immediately subdued by Han Yuan and he fell to the ground.
