Chapter 31: Help Me with Something [Please Collect and Recommend] Luo Xiaotong was still confused when a basin of water was poured over his head, the cold seeping into his bones, causing all his muscles to contract, and the thing below him immediately returned to its original shape.

  "Hurry up and get dressed," Yansister said impatiently, calling over one of the four people from earlier. The person bowed their head and stood with their ear to her shoulder: "What are your orders, Yansister?" with a servile expression.

  "Take him to Spring Green's room," Yan Jie almost yelled.

  Lu Xiaotong's heart was racing, and he hastily put on his clothes, planning to follow the man away. Before leaving, Yan Jie called out: "Did you bring money?" Under the eaves of the house, Lu Xiaotong had no choice but to lower his head. Afraid that she would cause more trouble, Lu Xiaotong quickly took out all the money from his pocket, over 700 yuan. Yan Jie looked at it and sneered: "This money is useless here." She was disdainful. At first, Lu Xiaotong didn't understand, but he immediately came to his senses: "Sister Yan, I didn't know we were coming today, so I wasn't prepared. How about this? Tomorrow, I'll make up for it?"

  Yan Jie thought for a moment, took the money over and said: "I don't trust you, you don't seem like someone who keeps his promises. How about this, you leave the money here as collateral, tomorrow when you bring the money back, I'll return it to you." After putting it in her pocket, she added: "The fee here is high, one million each time, as for the tips you give to the girls, that's your business, I don't care about it."

  One million is how much. Luo Xiaotong didn't know, wanted to ask, but didn't dare. Following the crowd out, turning left and right, with songs and dances by his ear, a scene of prosperity.

  They arrived at a small attic, and the man stopped, pointing with his hand: "You're here." His face was expressionless. Luo Xiaotong thanked him politely, but the other person didn't respond, leaving him feeling embarrassed and disheartened. The man then walked away, leaving Luo Xiaotong alone there.

  Take a look around, huh, the scenery is pleasant, it's really a great place to live. Luo Xiaotong walked gently to the door and knocked on it. After a moment, a voice came from inside: "The door isn't locked, come in."

  This voice is really familiar, just like Xiaoye's. If he didn't know that Xiaoye was at the door, Luo Xiaotong would have thought that the person inside was Xiaoye. Pushing open the door and taking a look around, it was a completely different world, and it seemed to be a room for a noble lady. In front of the curtain, there was a girl sitting with her back turned, holding a mirror in her hand, admiring herself without stopping.

  Lu Xiaotong stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Miss, Xiaotong greets you." After that, he waited patiently.

  The girl turned around, and Luo Xiaotong looked carefully. Although she had seen her before, she still couldn't believe it. The girl in front of her was exactly the same as Xiao Ye, as if she were a clone. She couldn't help but smile: "You're Chun Lü's sister, right?"

  Chun Lü smiled slightly and nodded, letting Luo Xiaotong sit down in a chair beside her.

  "Where's my sister?" Chun Lü asked with a smile.

  "The gatekeeper didn't let her follow and told her to wait in the side house," Luo Xiaotong answered honestly.

  Chun Lü put down the mirror in her hand, looked at Luo Xiao Tong and said: "I'm glad you're here." As she spoke, she let out a soft sigh, but tears began to fall.

  Men can't stand women's tears, and Luo Xiaotong is no exception. Seeing Chun Lü crying, he inexplicably feels a pang of sadness too.

  "Spring Green sister, don't cry. Your crying makes me feel uncomfortable in my heart," said Luo Xiaotong: "You let Little Ye bring me here, is there something?" The words were natural, as if facing a living person. Spring Green wiped away her tears and looked at Luo Xiaotong: "Since the first time I saw you, I knew that you are my benefactor, we are destined to be together."

  After saying that, she stood up. Her slender figure and extraordinary temperament were evident in the way her silk clothes fluttered as she moved, as if dancing. She walked over to Luo Xiaotong's side, patted his shoulder, and said with a gentle voice full of affection: "Xiaotong, help me with something, okay?" The sound was soothing and comforting, making Luo Xiaotong feel weak all over, and he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

  "Let's see, Chun Lü, as long as I can do it, I will absolutely not stand by idly." Facing the beauty, at this moment he would even go through boiling water and walk through fire, Luo Xiao Tong was also willing. Chun Lü was deeply moved, stretched out her slender jade hand, and pulled Luo Xiao Tong to sit down beside the bed.

  "I'm going to tell you a story, and you have to remember that you're the first person to hear it. Fifteen years ago, or even further back, sixteen years ago, I was already an education assistant in this town. At that time, I was young and beautiful, just like how you see me now. Everyone called me Xi Shi, and men would all gather around me, whether they were married or not." Luo Xiaotong listened intently, nodding his head nonstop. A beauty like her, any man would be enchanted, just like Chen Hua staring at Xiao Ye right now.

  Here is the translation:

  "However, at that time I was arrogant and looked down on ordinary men. I only liked Zhao Dahi, the town mayor at the time. He was handsome, elegant, and extraordinary, like a movie star, and many girls idolized him. But he was already married, which didn't matter to me. I liked him, and that's all that mattered. I wanted to be with him, even if it meant no official title or recognition. As long as he loved me, that was enough.

  Very soon, he fell in love with me too, and my first time was given to him on a spring evening. I was incredibly happy. Speaking of this, her face revealed a sweet smile: "Zhao Dahi knew how to make people happy, and his words were full of humor. Those days were the happiest for me.

  This person had big ambitions and didn't care about being just a small town mayor. He had bigger goals and more distant ideals; he wanted to be a higher-ranking official. However, in the world of officials, it's all about connections and money, which Zhao Dahi didn't have due to his humble origins. But he was cunning and well-versed in history, with a deep understanding of human nature.

  One time, after we were intimate, he asked me for help. He knew that a vice mayor in the city was a womanizer and hoped I could get close to him. He wanted to use me as a gift for that vice mayor. I refused, but he knelt down and promised that if I helped him get into the city government, he would immediately divorce his wife.

  To be honest, although I had never asked for this before, it was my dream come true. For the sake of my love, I tearfully agreed. But I made him promise that if things worked out, he would marry me right away."

  By this point, Chun Lü was already choking back tears.

  Later, in a gathering that was not actually accidental, I fell into the arms of that lecherous vice mayor, which was arranged by Zhao Dahan. The vice mayor was very particular about the code of brotherhood, and before half a year had passed, he issued an order to make Zhao Dahan the head of the municipal bureau of commerce. On the day the appointment came, we talked for a long time in his office, I asked him to fulfill his promise, but he said no way, his wife would not agree. Besides, the vice mayor also decided to bring me to his side. Of course, I refused, that old man had already disgusted me, and I didn't want to accompany him for long. No matter how I begged, he was unmoved. Later, I opened the window and threatened that if he did not agree, I would go to the vice mayor's office to expose him, then jump from this building and let him lose his reputation. I just wanted to scare him, I really only wanted him to agree, but unexpectedly, he listened to my words and suddenly became vicious, deceiving me back to my office, saying that if I jumped, I should jump from my own office. I stood at the window, looking outside, tears streaming down my face. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly made a move, I was completely unguarded, and was pushed down by him. Hearing this, Luo Xiaotong's heart was already racing, and she couldn't help but interrupt: "What happened next?"

  Later, he saw me fall down because it was already late at night and the security guard had been sent away early. When we were there, he always used various excuses to let the security guard go home and sleep. He ran downstairs, determined that I was dead, and went back home overnight. The next day, he came very late, by which time the municipal police had arrived. He ran around trying to find a way to calm things down. In order not to let the vice mayor change his mind because of this matter, he lied and said that I wanted to expose the vice mayor's ugly behavior of playing with women, and also said that I had evidence. He was worried that the vice mayor's life would be ruined, so he killed me to silence me. The vice mayor was in charge of public security at the time, so naturally, he took care of the relevant personnel and asked them to handle it hastily, making a big deal out of nothing, and concluding the case with a possible title of "suicide due to disappointment in love". My parents, of course, did not accept this result, always petitioning and going to the town government to make trouble. However, there was no way, nobody paid attention to them, my parents could not come up with any evidence, so they had to admit it.

  Lu Xiaotong indignantly said, "This is despicable. If you can have a dream to let your sister bring me here, then you should also be able to have a dream to tell your parents the truth about what happened, so they would have evidence." Xiao Ye bitterly smiled and sighed, "You are as naive as I was back then. Can dreams serve as evidence? Besides, I don't want them to worry anymore. My death has already dealt them a heavy blow; I cannot let them live in pain again."

  Lu Xiaotong tightly grasped Chun Lü's hand, wishing he could hold her in his arms to comfort her. But it was impossible; for a poor girl who had sacrificed her life for love, such an action would be utterly sacrilegious. He looked at her and said: "Then what do you want me to do?"

  Xiao Ye's face turned icy: "I hope Zhao Da Hai gets what he deserves, I want him to pay the price of his life."

  "People like that should die," Luo Xiaotong said: "But if I kill someone, I will also be punished by the law. In that case, you would have harmed me too." She spoke her mind without hiding anything from her.

  Chun Lü's face turned pale with a faint smile: "You're right, I didn't want you to help me like this either. We just need to find a way to get close to him and dig up some dirt that he can't show his face for, then he'll be finished." This was a good idea, a sense of justice surged through Luo Xiaotong's veins.

  "Tell me where Zhao Dahi is now and what he's doing?"

  "He is now the vice governor, didn't you know?"

  Lu Xiaotong almost fainted. Good heavens, I've never even heard of this person, let alone getting any evidence. Even if I wanted to do something like that, the matter wasn't settled yet and someone would have already killed me.

  "Such a big shot, I can hardly see him, how can we get close to him?" Luo Xiaotong said helplessly.
