Chapter 39

After being roommates for three years, Li Feng had long known that Huashao had a habit of spending money extravagantly. However, this time he was still speechless at the other's extravagant spending.

After all, before the National Day holiday, Huashao had called Li Feng, saying he wanted to find a companion to enjoy Las Vegas together and that he would cover all the travel expenses. From his words, Li Feng knew that Huashao's grandfather had come to Zhonghai to see him and secretly gave him more than ten thousand yuan as pocket money!

But at the time, Li Feng was busy looking for an internship and didn't want to take advantage of Huashao, so he politely declined.

In the end, Huashao went to Las Vegas alone and, in less than seven days, spent all the tens of thousands of RMB in Las Vegas, contributing to the local GDP!

"Forget it, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!" Li Feng looked at Huashao and said helplessly, "When will you change your habit of spending money like this?"

Upon hearing this, Huashao immediately got excited: "Really? Fengzi, you're really my brother!"

Seeing Huashao about to pounce on him with open arms, Li Feng immediately moved away to keep some distance: "Don't do that! Go back to the dorm and change your clothes! I'll wait for you here!"

Huashao immediately said: "Okay! I'll go right away!"

"Are you going to change your clothes or not? The girls are about to come out, do you want them to wait for you?" Li Feng said helplessly, seeing Huashao about to start talking about his love manual.

"I'm going! I'm going right away!" Huashao immediately shut up and ran towards the boys' dormitory.

The Love Manual says: It's better to wait for a girl for an hour than to let her wait for you for a minute!

Seeing Huashao's plump figure wobbling towards the dormitory, Li Feng smiled and shook his head.

Taking advantage of the time, Li Feng went to the ATM in the dormitory building, took out the bank card given to him by Officer Chen, and checked the balance.

"Units... tens... hundreds... thousands... ten thousands..." Li Feng quietly counted the amount. When he saw a "5" in the ten-thousands place, his heart skipped a beat!

This was a full fifty thousand yuan! Li Feng looked at the amount on the screen, feeling a surge of excitement. With this money, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief!

After thinking for a moment, Li Feng pressed the transfer button, skillfully entered a bank account, and transferred twenty thousand yuan. He didn't touch the remaining thirty thousand, changed the account password, and then took out the bank card.

Putting the bank card back in his pocket, Li Feng thought for a moment and took out his phone to make a call, only to realize that his phone was dead. No wonder Huashao couldn't get through to him!

Li Feng took out the backup battery from his backpack, just as he was about to replace the battery and turn on the phone, a call came in.

Seeing the caller ID, Li Feng immediately answered: "Mom?"

"Ah Feng!" A slightly worried voice came from the speaker, "Mom just received a text message saying that someone transferred twenty thousand yuan to my bank card. I checked the account, and it's a strange number. Do you think someone might have made a mistake? Or is it a scam message?"

Hearing his mother's worried voice, Li Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mom, don't worry. It's not a scam message. The twenty thousand yuan is what I just transferred to you!"

"Really? You transferred it?" Hearing Li Feng's words, his mother's tone didn't show any relief but became even more worried, "Ah Feng! You're a college student, don't do anything illegal! We'd rather be poor and hungry than do anything against our conscience!"

Clearly, his mother had some bad thoughts about the source of the twenty thousand yuan!

Faced with his mother's full of worry, Li Feng couldn't help but blame himself for not explaining clearly enough: "Mom, listen to me, it's like this..."

Then, Li Feng told his mother about helping the police catch two criminals. Of course, he didn't mention the dangerous parts to avoid worrying her.

After learning that the money was a reward from the police, his mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After explaining the source of the money, Li Feng continued, "Mom, don't keep the money. Buy whatever you and Dad need. If you run out of money, I still have some! Also, Dad just got out of the hospital, don't rush to find a job. Focus on getting better first! I've already found an internship, and the boss is very nice. I'll take care of my sister's tuition fees from now on!"

"Ah! I understand! I'll tell your father. Our son is really growing up!" Hearing Li Feng's words, his mother felt relieved and a smile appeared in her voice, "By the way, your father and I were discussing recently that more and more people in town are keeping pet fish, so he's thinking about opening an aquarium shop. You're a college student with knowledge, what do you think about it?"

"An aquarium shop?" Li Feng was a bit surprised by his father's insight, "That's a good idea! More and more people are keeping fish, and if you do it well, you can make some money. Besides, you and Dad have experience in aquaculture, so it's a familiar field where you can use your expertise!"

Li Feng continued, "But the initial investment might require some funds. Do you have enough? If not, I still have thirty thousand yuan..."

"No, no!" Before Li Feng could finish, his mother's voice came through, "The investment isn't that big! Our neighbor, Uncle Lao Liu, who runs an aquarium shop, recently had a serious illness and can't handle it anymore. He wants to sell his shop and came to us, knowing we were thinking about opening one!"

"Uncle Lao Liu also knows our financial situation, so he offered us a payment plan. We can pay in installments and settle the full amount when we make money!"

"That's really kind of Uncle Lao Liu!" Li Feng understood that his mother was also interested in the aquarium shop and couldn't help but smile, "But you and Dad are the experts in business, so I won't meddle! Just let me know if you need more money!"

"Ah! I understand! Don't be too frugal yourself. Buy what you need!" At this point, his mother's voice became a bit choked, "It's our fault! We can't even afford your four years of tuition..."

"Mom! How can you say that!" Hearing his mother's choked voice, Li Feng's eyes also welled up, "If it weren't for you and Dad, I would have starved to death in the wilderness long ago! The kindness of raising me, I can never repay!"
