The ownerless money was right in front of him, in his hands, and there was no one around. Even if he took it, no one would know. And with this money, his family's situation would be even better. His parents wouldn't have to work so hard, his brother, who has always been in pain in the wheelchair, would be able to stand up, and he would have better training resources. With so many temptations in front of him, how could Luo Feng, a 17 year old kid, not be moved?
"Hide it, hide it. There's no one here, and there's no surveillance. No one will know that you picked up this money. With this money, mom and dad won't have to work so hard, brother will be able to stand up, and you will have more training resources. You won't be looked down on anymore ….." in Luo Feng's heart, a voice full of temptation kept on tempting him.
As the voice in his heart enticed him, Luo Feng's heart gradually sank. He turned his head and looked around. This was a secluded alley with walls all around. Not to mention people, there wasn't even a single animal, let alone a single person. Needless to say, there wouldn't be anyone who would eat their fill and set up surveillance equipment here.
"Hurry and put this money away. Think about mom and dad, think about your brother, and think about yourself. Don't you want mom and dad, brother, and yourself to have a better life?" the voice in his heart tempted him again.
Luo Feng licked his dry lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He then closed the wallet in his hand and quickly put it in his pocket.
"Feng, even though we're poor, we need to have integrity. If it's not ours, we definitely can't take it, do you remember?" just as Luo Feng put the wallet in his pocket, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
It was when Luo Feng was eight years old. He went to a convenience store with his mother. When the boss wasn't paying attention, he stole a few candies. After returning home, his father, Luo Hong Guo, found out. Luo Hong Guo didn't beat him or scold him. Instead, he brought him back to the convenience store and explained the situation to the boss. Not only did he ask Luo Feng to apologize to the boss, but he also asked him to pay the boss 10 times the price of the candies.
Luo Feng still remembered that after leaving the convenience store, Luo Hong Guo stopped and said this to him. His attitude was extremely serious.
The look in his father's eyes and the tone of his voice were still vivid in his ears.
Luo Feng froze. He blinked a few times. Deep in his pupils, he was struggling. On one hand, he was tempted by a beautiful future, and on the other hand, he was tempted by his father.
Whoosh!
After a while, Luo Feng let out a long sigh. Under the dim light, his eyes were as clear as stars, and a determined look flashed across his eyes.
Luo Feng took out the wallet that was hidden in his pocket and didn't hesitate any longer. His body flashed and he dashed out like a cheetah.
This alley was shaped like a 'Z'. After turning a corner, it was still an alley, and there were no forks in the road. Luckily, even though Luo Feng wasted a bit of time, he still found the person who threw the wallet when he reached the entrance of the alley.
"Mister in front, please wait!" after seeing the owner, Luo Feng yelled loudly as he sped towards that person.
The person in front heard Luo Feng's voice, paused, stopped, and turned around.
At this time, Luo Feng finally saw the owner's face. He was around 1.8 meters tall and had a well-proportioned body. He looked to be around 26 or 27 years old. He wore a set of black casual clothes and had a unique aura. Even in the darkness, he was like the ruler of the darkness, making it impossible to ignore him.
"Fighter?" Seeing the young man in front of him, Luo Feng couldn't help but to feel a heavy pressure pressing down on him. This feeling made Luo Feng unable to breathe.
"Little brother, are you calling me?" The young man first looked around. After confirming that there was no one else around, he turned his head and said to Luo Feng.
"Ah, yes, mister, I picked up a wallet over there earlier. May I ask if it's yours?" Luo Feng froze for a bit before taking out the wallet.
"Oh ~ ~" The young man looked at the wallet in Luo Feng's hand and then touched his body. After that, he laughed, "Yes, that's right, it seems to be mine"
"Then may I ask what's in your wallet, mister?" to be safe, Luo Feng asked another question.
"If this wallet was mine, there should be 200 US dollars with a face value of 1,000 dollars in it," the young man said with a smile.
"Looks like it, here!" Hearing the young man's words, Luo Feng let out a smile. After confirming that he didn't find the wrong person, he handed the wallet to him.
The young man took the wallet and checked it. After that, he raised his head and smiled, "Thank you, little brother. Oh yea, my name is Ye Xuan, I wonder who you are ….."
"My name is Luo Feng!" Luo Feng's smile was a bit shy.
"Luo Feng, it's all thanks to you that I was able to find this wallet. I don't have much to thank you for, so here, consider this my thanks!" Ye Xuan took out 10 purple bills from the wallet and handed it to Luo Feng.
"No, no, Ye, Mr. Ye, I can't take this money ….." seeing the US dollars, Luo Feng waved his hand in panic.
"Take it, don't be polite, you deserve it" Ye Xuan directly stuffed the money into Luo Feng's hand. Luo Feng wanted to retreat, but he couldn't escape, "If it wasn't for you, I would've lost this $200,000. Don't say that I'm stingy if I only give you $10,000 as a reward"
"No, no, Mr. Ye, you're too serious, it's just that this money ….." Luo Feng wasn't sure.
"Alright, I see that you're also a practitioner, so don't be so wishy-washy. Let's leave it at that, we'll meet again if we're fated! "after saying that, Ye Xuan didn't wait for Luo Feng to speak. He waved his hand, walked out of the alley, and blended into the crowd.
"Uh..." Seeing Ye Xuan leave, Luo Feng was startled for a moment. Then, he looked at the ten purple US dollars in his hand, and a sense of excitement welled up in his heart. He hid the money in the inner pocket of his clothes and let out an excited roar. Then, his figure flashed, and his whole body rushed into the alley like a cheetah.
Just as Luo Feng disappeared, Ye Xuan, who had already left, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. Looking at the empty alley, Ye Xuan's mouth raised into a smile as he mumbled to himself, "Luo Feng, this kid doesn't seem too bad!"
