Chapter 9

"Bro, is it illegal to donate money too?"

Zhao Zhigang thought something was wrong and turned back in fear, only to make a discovery...

The beautiful woman who got out of the car and asked about the sea willow wood was chasing after him!

Could it be that his brother was avoiding her? What did that have to do with giving away fifty thousand yuan?

He was completely confused by his brother's strange behavior. Even if it was for helping others, couldn't he run a bit slower and leave a name?

Bro, I know you're a good person, but Mom is still on dialysis.

However, even if he had questions, he wouldn't doubt or oppose.

Zhao Zhiqiang ran with all his might, feeling so exhausted that he was about to vomit blood, gasping for breath, and leaning against a pillar to catch his breath!

He had used up all the strength he had just recovered, leaving no energy to answer.

He was anxious about another crucial matter!

"I can't run anymore, let's stop here!" He was very helpless. If he were still in the military, he wouldn't be this exhausted even after a thirty-kilometer sprint.

Leaning against the pillar, he took a deep breath to calm down, then made a strange hand sign with his right hand.

Looking up at the ceiling, he whispered, "Three feet above my head, there is a deity—May the God of Wealth protect me, scatter a thousand gold, and the spirit will return."

He focused his mind, waiting for the mysterious moment described in the copper coin's message to arrive!

He didn't even notice that Lin Xuerou had caught up to him.

All his thoughts, or rather, all his hopes, were on this one request!

A feeling like a sweet spring flowed from the strange copper coin, instantly replenishing his spirit. At the same time, the bizarre blood refinement process, like a water balloon exploding in his heart, produced a pure spiritual energy!

Zhao Zhiqiang quickly used the breath control technique he had practiced for half a month to absorb the spiritual energy into the copper coin!

Zhao Zhiqiang was so excited that tears almost welled up in his eyes!

"God of Wealth, it really works!"

This process was completed in a single breath.

However, from the perspective of Zhao Zhigang and Lin Xuerou, it was inexplicably strange and hilarious!

A person who had just donated money ran quickly to a corner, facing the air, and devoutly shouted for the God of Wealth to appear, with tears welling up in his eyes!

This made Zhao Zhiqiang and Lin Xuerou both think that he must be heartbroken over the money!

But his sincere and devout appearance didn't seem to be an act...

"Poof!"

"Ha ha!"

The two burst out laughing...

Zhao Zhigang almost dropped the lunch box he was carrying for his mother, holding his stomach in pain!

"Bro, you can't do this!"

Lin Xuerou, who had been chasing after him, never expected that this seemingly generous boy would hide behind a pillar and say such a thing, then pray to the sky in a mysterious manner.

"Ha ha..."

She first froze in surprise, then bent over laughing!

This guy, it seems, can also feel heartache—

Although Zhao Zhiqiang had lost another ten percent of his blood, he had fully verified the meaning of "scatter a thousand gold" and "scatter wealth to gather spirit"!

Getting wealth wasn't too important; what mattered was obtaining that mysterious "control power."

Because that was the key to refining essence into qi!

Usually, even if he focused all his attention, it would take him several hours to produce a tiny bit of spiritual energy. Today, after finally accumulating three strands of spiritual energy, he finally understood the meaning of "greed for money" and "scatter a thousand gold," feeling very satisfied!

Awesome!

The suppressed mood of over half a month was finally lifted!

Because he had figured out these three points, at least he had a way to save his life, and today was a good start.

While he was in a daze, Lin Xuerou stopped laughing halfway. She noticed that Zhao Zhiqiang's face had turned as white as a sheet, just like it did in the car!

"Hey, are you okay?" She turned to Zhao Zhigang, "Your brother's face is terrifyingly pale, help him!"

Zhao Zhigang glanced at the beautiful woman, then supported his brother. He also felt how quickly his brother's face had changed, which was quite scary.

Zhao Zhiqiang was brought back to his senses by the words and smiled, "Me? I'm fine. Hey, beautiful lady, why did you chase after me?"

He quickly looked back, hoping not to be seen by that family!

This action made Lin Xuerou giggle again.

"Ha ha, really strange, you gave away fifty thousand yuan and ran away as if you were dodging a debt! I really don't understand."

"Bro, I don't understand either..." Zhao Zhigang said softly, still holding the old lunch box.

"Someone was in trouble, and I happened to be there." Zhao Zhiqiang said calmly.

He didn't care about the fifty thousand yuan at all, even though the family had a debt of over a hundred thousand yuan. But now he was confident and capable of making money, and "scatter wealth to gather spirit" was something he had to do.

The money for his mother's treatment would come soon.

But where was that Chen boss?

"Where is she?" Zhao Zhiqiang looked around but didn't see Chen Liqin.

"Who? Are you looking for the woman who made that bizarre bet with you?" Lin Xuerou laughed, "Do you think she'll give you the money?"

Zhao Zhiqiang tightened his military coat and was about to wipe his nose, which was runny from the cold.

Lin Xuerou couldn't stand it and took out a pack of tissues from her elegant shoulder bag.

"Here, great philanthropist, ha ha, you're really interesting... I have a question, why did you pray to the God of Wealth just now?"

Zhao Zhiqiang took the tissues without hesitation, pulled out one, and wiped his nose hard.

Seeing that the family seemed to have entered the hall, along with the Lin family, he quickly moved to the other side of the pillar.

Lin Xuerou cooperated and moved to avoid being seen.

Zhao Zhigang, being timid, did exactly what his brother did, quickly hiding behind a trash can and squatting down.

After the group left, Zhao Zhiqiang looked at the very attractive Lin Xuerou and replied, "Beautiful lady, what's wrong with praying to the God of Wealth? It's because I prayed to the God of Wealth that I met Old Mr. Lin today, and sold the sea willow wood, making money, right?"

Lin Xuerou was a very serious girl, "Zhao Zhiqiang, my name is Lin Xuerou, don't call me beautiful lady, it sounds weird. I still don't understand. But that fifty thousand yuan was a genuine transaction, and you donated it to charity, so you still don't have any money, right?"

Zhao Zhiqiang gave her a cold look, "Lin Xuerou? Fine, I'll tell you. Sometimes, people shouldn't always focus on money, nor should they spend it all on themselves, right? They were in such a dire situation, giving them the money could save a life. As for money, scatter a thousand gold, and the spirit will return. As long as you put your heart into it and work hard, money will always come."

This look made Lin Xuerou very uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a miser, I'm just curious about the strange deity you were praying to. Forget it. I won't talk about this anymore, I have to go to work, bye!"

Zhao Zhigang, watching her leave, suddenly said, "Bro, I remember a saying."

"What?"

"Curiosity killed the cat..."

"Child, focus on your studies and make progress every day. Why think so much!" Zhao Zhiqiang glared at his brother.
