Chapter 184 – Zhang Naipao's Plea
"Pao, get up first! What's up with you kneeling on the ground?!" Pinliang didn't look like he was joking, but this wasn't the right place to be kneeling on the ground!
"Liang Bro, please, promise me! I'll get up if you promise … …" Naipao's only hope was Pinliang right now. If Pinliang was willing to help him, then his family would be safe … …
"Alright, I promise you! Get up now!" Pinliang said as he pulled Naipao up. "Pao, if you have something to say, just say it! This is a school, what would people think of you kneeling on the ground?"
"Liang Bro … … I'm sorry, I was too impulsive!" Naipao said, realizing that his actions weren't very appropriate.
"You can't do that even if you're impulsive!" Pinliang said. "Alright, let's talk about it first!"
"Liang Bro, my dad's doing business, and a competitor set him up … …" Naipao explained. "They're going to sue him for fraud, and he's going to jail … …"
"Oh?" Pinliang frowned- he knew about Naipao's family- it wasn't too bad. His father was doing business outside, and his mother was a full-time housewife. How did this happen?
"But what does this have to do with your brother?" Pinliang asked.
"They're forcing my dad to pay back the money, so my brother has to sell his kidney … …" Naipao said.
"Your brother has to sell his kidney?" Pinliang didn't understand. "Why not you?"
"I'd go if I could sell my kidneys, why would I ask my brother to do it?" Naipao said. "I did some research, and they said that I'm a yin blood or something. I don't know much about it, but it's just that kidneys for people with my blood type aren't easy to find, and there aren't many people who need it. I can't sell it anytime soon!"
"I see." Pinliang nodded. "Then how do you want me to help you?"
"Liang Bro, can you lend my family some money to help us get through this?" Naipao said. "Even if I have to work like a horse or cow, I'll repay your kindness for the rest of my life …"
"How much?" Pinliang wasn't much of a person, but Naipao had been with him for a long time, and he'd always been his follower and vanguard. Pinliang couldn't just ignore him.
"Seven hundred thousand …" Naipao said carefully.
"What? Seven hundred thousand? So many? " Pinliang paused. If it was a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, he could just gather some of his New Year's money, but seven hundred thousand was out of his reach.
"That's right, Brother Liang. If it wasn't for the huge amount, I wouldn't have come to beg you!" Naipao said with a bitter face, "Liang Bro, please help me- if you need me, just say the word! If you need a cow, I'll be a cow, if you need a horse, I'll be a horse! Brother Liang, I won't even blink if you ask me to commit suicide! "
"Hey, Naipao, don't worry. This is a serious matter, and I don't have that much money. You know that." Pinliang said. "I can only give my dad a call. You go back to class first, I'll think about how I'm going to tell him."
"Liang Bro, you have to help me … …" Naipao thought that Pinliang was just brushing him off, that he didn't want to help.
"Listen to me, Naipao. You've been with me for three years- I'll do my best for you! Don't think too much, I'm just thinking about how I'm going to tell my dad. "Pinliang patted Naipao's shoulder.
"Alright, Liang Bro, I'll go back first. You have to help me … …" Naipao nodded.
Pinliang went back to class, thinking about Naipao's situation. Logically speaking, seven hundred thousand was a small amount for his family, but it was enough to buy a luxury car. Pinliang had to think about it carefully!
Naipao had been with him for three years- he'd been his follower for three years- he'd been at his beck and call every day, and he'd never complained. This touched Pinliang a little.
But, being touched was one thing. What Pinliang cared more about was the benefits this seven hundred thousand would bring him.
With this seven hundred thousand, Pinliang believed that Naipao would owe him a huge favor, a huge one at that. If he ever needed Naipao's help in the future, with his personality, there was no way he wouldn't push it away … …
But was seven hundred thousand really worth it? Pinliang weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Judging from Naipao's actions of sacrificing himself to save his brother, the kid had some sense of loyalty. But loyalty? Did he really need it from Naipao? Pinliang decided that he'd call his father and ask for his opinion.
With that in mind, Naipao left the classroom and went to the washroom. Seeing that there was no one there, he took out his phone and called his father, Zhong Fabai.
"Pinliang?" Fabai's heart sank when he got his son's call. It had been a very eventful time- he'd just taken care of Heibao's business, and he couldn't let anything go wrong!
Under normal circumstances, Pinliang wouldn't call him on his own. If he did, then something big must've happened. Lin Yi quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Dad, I have something to discuss with you … …" Pinliang said.
"Oh? What is it? "Fabai let out a breath of relief when he heard that Pinliang was just looking for him. As long as it wasn't a big problem.
"It's like this- Zhang Naipao from our class- you remember him, right?" Pinliang asked.
"Zhang Naipao … … Oh, I know, your follower. What happened to him?" Fabai knew of Naipao- the kid often came to play with someone called Gao Xiaofu.
"It's like this, Zhang Naipao's family is in some trouble. His father got screwed over in a business deal, and now he's in a huge debt. The other party wants him to pay up, and if he doesn't, they'll sue him …" Pinliang kept the story short. "Zhang Naipao's begging me now, he wants me to lend him some money …"
"Oh, that's what happened!" Fabai got the gist of it. It was actually very simple- his son's classmate's family was in trouble, and he wanted to borrow money from his son. "Son, what do you think?"
"Dad … … Zhang Naipao's my buddy, he's been with me for so long, always at my beck and call. It's only right that I lend him money when he's in trouble." Pinliang said. "But the amount he's asking for is a little too big!"
"How much?" Fabai asked.
