Wang Bin then visited two jewelry stores. He sold gold bars to one and jewelry to the other. He didn't want to sell all his jewels and gold to a single store, as that might raise suspicion.
By the ti he left the Pedestrian Street, his bank account had nearly eighty million more in it. He hadn't expected these jewels to be so valuable. The items he sold tonight were less than a tenth of what he had in his backpack. If he sold everything, he would truly beco a billionaire.
Walking down a small path, Wang Bin decided to play a little joke on his friends You Hongfei and Li Xingping by transferring a million to each of them. Over the years, they had helped him a lot, and he wasn't a stingy person. Now that he was wealthy, giving them a small reward was no big deal.
***
You Hongfei and Li Xingping had just heard about Wang Bin getting into a fight with Young Master Li at the Coffee Shop over Zhao Qian. They were about to call Wang Bin to ask about it when they received a text from the bank.
"Fuck, these scamrs are really sothing, pretending to be the bank and saying my account has an extra million!"
"I got the sa ssage. I guess our friend's phone got hacked!"
"Yeah, maybe!"
"Forget it, I'll log into the app and see if it's true!"
You Hongfei, suspicious because the new ssage looked exactly like the ones he received when withdrawing money, opened the app to check.
"Fuck, it's true, there's an extra million in my account!"
"No way! Let check mine!"
Li Xingping, seeing the extra million in You Hongfei's account, was shocked and quickly checked his own. Upon logging in, he burst out with a curse!
"Damn, my account has an extra million too!"
"What should we do?"
"We definitely can't spend this money. I think the bank made a mistake, and they'll take it back!"
"I think we should call the bank and have them take the money back. Having so much money makes nervous!"
" too!"
Just as they were about to call the bank, You Hongfei's phone rang.
"It's Wang Bin calling!"
"Quick, answer it and ask where he is!"
You Hongfei nodded and hurriedly answered the call.
"Hey, Wang Bin, where are you now? Did you really get into a fight with Young Master Li at the Coffee Shop?"
"I'm outside, planning to go ho for a bit!"
"Yeah, you should lay low for a while. I heard Young Master Li has a powerful background and isn't soone to ss with!"
"No, I have sothing to do at ho, so I'm going back for a bit!"
"Oh!"
"By the way, did you get the money?"
"What money? Wait, you an the million was from you?"
"Yeah, did I scare you?"
"Oh man, Wang Bin, you really scared us. Xingping and I were about to call the bank to have them take the money back!"
"Haha, sorry about that! It's not much money, you guys should just accept it!"
"What, a million isn't much? Wang Bin, did you win the lottery?"
"Uh, sort of. Anyway, this amount is nothing to , you guys have to take it!"
"Be honest, how much did you win?"
"About a hundred million!"
"A hundred million? Well, since you won so much, Xingping and I will accept it. Thanks, Wang Bin!"
"You're welco!"
"So, Zhao Qian broke up with you, you beat up Young Master Li, and then you threw gold bars at people, all true?"
"Haha, yeah!"
"Alright, you're doing well, but I think you should hide. Young Master Li might retaliate!"
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the ]"
"Thanks, I have to go back ho for sothing, so I can't chat now. I'll treat you both to drinks when I get back!"
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
You Hongfei and Li Xingping thought Wang Bin had really won the lottery. Knowing he now had a huge sum of money, going ho seed like a good choice.
Wang Bin took a taxi ho. Initially, the driver was reluctant to go to Wang Bin's remote ho, but Wang Bin threw out ten thousand yuan, and the driver imdiately opened the car door for him.
"I need to take care of sothing at ho. Can you pick up tomorrow?"
"No problem!"
In the car, Wang Bin called his parents, telling them he had sothing to do and would be coming ho, asking them to leave the door open for him at night.
Hearing that he was coming ho at night, his parents thought sothing was wrong, but Wang Bin didn't explain over the phone, saying he'd talk when he got ho.
***
That night, his parents stayed up, waiting until after 1 a.m. when Wang Bin finally arrived ho.
Seeing their son return suddenly, his parents were very worried and bombarded him with questions.
"Mom, Dad, this is Master Liu. It's late, so he'll stay with us tonight and take back to school tomorrow!"
"Oh, alright, I'll go prepare a bed for you both."
Hearing there was a guest, Wang's mother hurried to tidy up the house.
After settling Master Liu, Wang Bin took his parents to his room, closed the door, and whispered, "Mom, Dad, I have sothing to tell you. Please don't shout, be careful not to let anyone hear."
"Okay, we know. What's going on? You're making your mom anxious!"
"Here's the thing, I won the lottery!"
"What, you won the lottery? How much?"
"Tens of millions!"
"How much, tens of millions!"
"Old man, keep your voice down, be careful not to let anyone hear!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Tomorrow, I'll send so money ho. Use it to buy good food and clothes, and also to rebuild the house."
"Forget the food and clothes, but we should rebuild the house, so you can bring a wife ho!"
Seeing his parents quickly accept the fact that they had money, Wang Bin was happy.
He wasn't intentionally hiding the truth from them, but he was afraid the real story would scare them.
Seeing it was late, his parents went to bed.
Master Liu noticed Wang Bin's family didn't seem wealthy, which puzzled him, but since he got paid, he didn't ask questions.
***
The next morning, Wang Bin's parents got up early to prepare a feast for him.
When Wang Bin got up, Master Liu was already awake, drinking tea in the main hall.
"Need a ride, young man?"
"Not yet, I'll walk around the village first. After lunch, you can take back to the provincial city."
"Alright, take your ti. Just call if you need anything!"
Wang Bin agreed and headed towards Uncle Zhao's house in the village.
The reason he was looking for Uncle Zhao was simple: he wanted a gun.
Uncle Zhao used to enjoy hunting and had both a gunpowder gun and an air gun at ho. In recent years, the governnt had tightened control over firearms, and few people went hunting in the mountains anymore, but Uncle Zhao still occasionally went hunting.
"Uncle Zhao, are you ho?"
"Oh, isn't it Wang Bin? It's not vacation yet, why are you back?"
"I ca back for sothing. I brought you a bottle of Moutai, hope you like it!"
"Oh, Wang Bin, you're too kind. You must have spent a lot. Co in and talk, if there's anything I can help with, I will!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'm actually here to buy your air gun!"
"Buy my air gun? Wang Bin, what do you need it for? Don't do anything illegal!"
"Uncle, you're overthinking it. I'm about to graduate, and we're going to a remote place for an internship. I heard there are many small animals there, so my classmates and I want to bring a gun to hunt. That's why I'm here to buy your air gun!"
"There's no need to buy it. As long as you're not using it for anything bad, you can borrow it. Don't ntion money!"
"Uncle, this ten thousand is from my classmates, please accept it!"
"Oh, that's a lot!"
"We're family, of course, we want to give the money to our own. Please take it!"
"Alright, since you insist, I'll take it. But rember, don't let anyone see it. Losing the gun is minor, but fines and jail ti aren't worth it!"
"Got it, thanks, Uncle Zhao!"
