Chapter 52 - 52 Younger Sister
52 Younger Sister
“I borrowed some money from Brother Nan because I couldn’t afford my sister’s school fees, but he never mentioned that it was a loan shark.”
Cheng Fei’s face turned even paler, and his hands trembled. “After that, because the interest was too high, I owed more and more debts. First, Brother Nan forced me to sell my blood, then he sold my house. Then he even targeted my sister.”
Hearing Cheng Fei’s words, Yin Tao finally understood why he looked so shaken.
“These things are illegal. Didn’t you think of calling the police?” Yin Tao looked at Cheng Fei, who was trembling, and sympathized with him.
“What’s the point of calling the police? They’re all connected to the black market, and the police won’t be able to find any evidence. The waters are too deep. A man like me can only accept his fate. There’s no choice at all.”
Cheng Fei lowered his head helplessly. He knew that after Brother Nan was released, he would face an even more terrifying situation.
Yin Tao fell into deep thought. There were several keywords in Cheng Fei’s words. Selling blood, black market, loan sharks. These words made Yin Tao recall some issues related to the dismemberment case.
The car had already arrived at Wen An district. Feng Jing got out of the car and asked Cheng Fei, “I think there was a a murder case here, did you know?”
Before Feng Jing could finish his sentence, Cheng Fei had a huge reaction, as if he was very afraid. He made a gesture to Feng Jing to keep quiet.
Noticing Cheng Fei’s fearful expression, Yin Tao took the opportunity to say to him, “It’s too dark here in this neighborhood. Brother and I will send you back.”
Cheng Fei nodded and looked gratefully at Yin Tao. He was indeed very afraid.
Feng Jing also looked at Yin Tao and felt that she was calling him brother so naturally. He couldn’t help but admire her acting skills.
Feng Jing and Yin Tao followed behind Cheng Fei and escorted him home like two bodyguards.
“Thank you so much for today. Come in and have a drink.” Cheng Fei opened the door and said gratefully to Yin Tao and Feng Jing.
Before Feng Jing could reply, Yin Tao smiled and followed Cheng Fei into the house.
The house was not big, but it was very clean. It seemed that Cheng Fei was a very meticulous person.
“Elder brother!” A girl with a ponytail ran out of the bedroom anxiously and threw herself into Cheng Fei’s arms.
“Elder brother, why are you only back now? I called you and your cell phone was turned off. You scared me to death!”
The girl was really worried about Cheng Fei. Her big eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
“Yaoyao, these two are my friends. They’re also siblings.”
Only then did the girl notice the two strangers in the house. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and greeted them obediently, “Hello, big brother and big sister. My name is Cheng Yao. I’m in my second year of high school this year.”
“Hello, Yaoyao.” Yin Tao looked at the adorable and obedient girl in front of her and her tone became gentler.
“Elder sister, are you about the same age as me?” Cheng Yao felt that this sweet and cute sister in front of her was not much older than her.
“Hmm, but you should still call me big sister.” Yin Tao didn’t reveal her identity too much, letting them think that she was still a student, so as not to complicate things.
“Yaoyao, go back to the bedroom and rest. You still have to go to school tomorrow morning.” Cheng Fei looked at his sister very gently. His previous gloominess was swept away. “I will have a chat with my friends. Go to bed first.”
Cheng Yao was very obedient. After exchanging a few polite words with Yin Tao and Feng Jing, she returned to her bedroom.
“Take a seat first. I’ll go get some water.” Cheng Fei gestured for Yin Tao and Feng Jing to sit on the sofa while he went to the kitchen to get some water.
Yin Tao sized up the layout of the room and felt that this was a very old residence. It was just that Cheng Fei had taken care of it very neatly.
“Here, I don’t have much to offer, but I’m sincerely grateful. Without your help, who knows what would have happened to me today.” Cheng Fei placed the water on the coffee table and sat at a corner of the sofa.
“Brother Cheng, you don’t have to take it to heart. Actually, we came to ask you what happened in Wen An district. Brother and I originally wanted to buy a house here. If something really happened here, we won’t buy it.”
Yin Tao’s tone was very sincere. Even Feng Jing felt that they were really siblings.
“You seem to be doing well, it’s best not to a house here.” Cheng Fei could tell from their clothes and the car they had just driven that they are financially well off.
“Can I trouble you to tell me the details?” Feng Jing took a sip of water and asked Cheng Fei.
