“Brothers, search this place. If you find something valuable, take it away with you. If we don’t find enough available items, we will come back next time.”
The man commanded as he began to dig through Jin Jin’s possessions.
Jin Jin’s home was a small concrete-covered apartment. It was not a large place. There were only two bedrooms and usually, she lived alone.
Upon seeing this, Jin Jin rushed forward.
“Do it then. I dare you. If you want to move my possessions, do it over my dead body. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Jin Jin who was typically known to be a quiet girl yelled this with a tremendous amount of energy. She fiercely confronted the men in front of her.
Although these gangsters bullied people, they did not dare to kill someone.
“Okay fine, I will take your phone to cover a bit of the interest.”
The smartphone in his hands could be sold for eight to nine hundred dollars. This could be their payment for making this trip.
After they made a bit more ruckus, they turned around to leave.
After they left, Jin Jin went limp on the ground.
Although she appeared brave, her hands and feet had been shaking for a while.
After a long time, Jin Jin said to Jian Yiling who was sitting on the bed: “I’m sorry. I can’t lend you my phone anymore. If you’re okay to wait a bit, Dr. Zhang will come over in the evening. You can borrow her phone.”
Jian Yiling looked at Jin Jin before she softly asked: “Are you alright?”
Jin Jin smiled and replied: “I’m alright. It’s no big deal. I don’t have the money that they want. I won’t acknowledge Jin Feng’s debt.”
“Mhmm.”
Then, Jian Yiling looked around her and asked: “Do you live by yourself?”
“Mhmm, my mother and father passed away. My mother died because of a car accident and my father died because of liver cancer.”
“I will give back whatever money you spent,” Jian Yiling said to Jin Jin.
“No no, there’s no need. Firstly, your injuries didn’t cost me a lot. Secondly, I’m not that broke. With the financial support of some generous individuals, I just finished college. After graduating, I managed to find a decent job and saved up a bit of money. I came back to the village to buy a piece of land to plant some organic vegetables. It’s really been alright. Once I earn enough money, I plan to start an agritainment.”
Jin Jin was an optimist. She knew what she wanted in life.
“Mhmm, you will succeed.”
“Hopefully,” Jin Jin said to Jian Yiling. “Oh right, I haven’t asked for your name yet.”
“Jian Yiling.”
“Your name sounds like the doctor whose plane disappeared two years ago,” Jin Jin commented. “Ahh, the Gods were jealous of talented people. I can’t believe she just died like that. Because of her departure, XDL hasn’t launched another product for two entire years.”
As she was an ordinary citizen, Jin Jin did not have the opportunity to meet such a doctor. However, the medical cosmetics she developed had a great impact on ordinary individuals. Even though she could not afford to buy them, she had heard a lot about those products.
Back then, Jian Yiling’s plane disappeared near the Pacific Ocean. The Jinshui Village that they were in right now was a small village quite a distance away from there. Furthermore, as two years had passed since then, Jin Jin could not connect the girl in front of her to the girl who mysteriously disappeared a while ago.
“Apparently, her fiance also died,” Jin Jin commented.
“What did you say?”
“The one she played games with. Everyone calls him God Z. Back then, they participated in a reality show called <Dear, We Live Together..> They showed off many displays of affection in front of everyone.”
