Hearing Zong Shuyun's words, Li Qingfeng finally remembered his surroundings; he was surrounded by people.
With this thought, he immediately said to Zong Shuyun beside him, "Sister Shuyun, you're lucky today. I'll let you off!"
"Oh my! Our Junior Brother Li is truly magnanimous!"
Zong Shuyun chuckled lightly upon hearing Li Qingfeng's words.
She didn't mind Li Qingfeng's sudden playful behavior at all; instead, she found it quite amusing.
With this thought, she suddenly asked Li Qingfeng, "Junior Brother, why are you here in town looking like this? What happened?"
She knew his usual demeanor, and his current appearance of extreme urgency suggested something had happened.
Upon hearing her inquiry, Li Qingfeng couldn't stop the smile from spreading across his lips, chuckling foolishly to himself.
Seeing him like this, Zong Shuyun's heart immediately tensed up. She looked at her junior brother ahead, a sense of worry creeping in.
Simultaneously, her thoughts became more comprehensive.
Could her junior brother have lost his mind!
However, immediately after, she was the one who couldn't help but laugh.
Under Zong Shuyun's gaze, Li Qingfeng slowly took out a check from his clothes, waved it at her, and said, "Sister Shuyun, let me tell you, I earned a million today. This is the check!"
As he spoke, he waved it as if he were demonstrating.
Seeing his demeanor, Zong Shuyun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..."
"Junior Brother, have you gone mad for money?"
Looking at Li Qingfeng, Zong Shuyun thought for a moment before speaking.
While a million yuan wasn't a huge sum to her, her values had begun to shift since arriving in Jiefang Town.
Here, even ten thousand or a few thousand yuan would be considered a significant savings.
Let alone earning a million yuan all at once; Zong Shuyun's first thought was disbelief.
Hearing Zong Shuyun's disbelief, Li Qingfeng was not surprised. He calmly placed the check in her hand.
Subsequently, Zong Shuyun's laughter came to an abrupt halt.
"This... this..."
Looking at the number on the check, a '1' followed by six zeros, exactly one million.
Indeed, the number was auspicious and immense.
"How... how could you possibly have so much money?"
Upon seeing the amount on the check, Zong Shuyun fell into deep thought, genuinely shocked.
However, she quickly thought of a highly probable explanation: a way to make money extremely quickly.
She raised her head and looked at Li Qingfeng, saying, "You didn't go selling contraband, did you? Li Qingfeng, you can't do this. If you did, you should turn yourself in to me!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in Zong Shuyun's eyes.
She was truly afraid that she would be the one to send him to prison in the end.
"What are you talking about? Sister Shuyun, where are you getting these ideas!"
Li Qingfeng immediately exclaimed upon hearing Zong Shuyun's words.
He felt that if he didn't step in to explain, his senior sister's wild imagination would only become more absurd.
He had no choice but to pull her down to squat, explaining everything from when he first met Ji Fenglin, to encountering this other person later, and then the negotiation with his father.
At this point, Zong Shuyun finally understood everything and looked at Li Qingfeng ahead in disbelief.
However, she still reminded him, "Li Qingfeng, be careful of Ji Guangyuan. He's not someone to be trifled with!"
Zong Shuyun had heard of Ji Guangyuan; he was a notorious figure in the city's underworld.
After suffering a setback at Li Qingfeng's hands today, he would certainly not let it go.
Therefore, Zong Shuyun was extremely concerned about Li Qingfeng's safety.
However, Li Qingfeng didn't take her worries seriously and calmly shook his head.
Seeing his demeanor, as if he didn't care at all, Zong Shuyun could do nothing but tell him to come to her if he encountered any insurmountable problems!
Alright!
Since the esteemed Town Head Zong had proactively offered protection, Li Qingfeng did not refuse and readily agreed with repeated nods.
"Where do we go next? You're here to cash the check, right?"
Zong Shuyun turned to ask Li Qingfeng, and seeing him like this, she couldn't help but smile again.
At this point, she had already guessed Li Qingfeng's purpose for coming, and seeing him at ease, she relaxed.
"Yes, let's hurry. The bank will close if we're late."
Thus, the two of them arrived directly outside the town's bank.
Li Qingfeng walked ahead, with Zong Shuyun following behind him.
Zong Shuyun had not changed her clothes, and judging by the labels on her attire and her every step, it was evident she was a leader.
Li Qingfeng, in contrast, was in simple cloth attire. Although not ragged, he was covered in mud.
However, at this moment, if a normal bank manager or security guard saw this scene, they would have immediately stopped Li Qingfeng.
Without mistake, the security guard at the bank entrance directly blocked Li Qingfeng.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly stopped, Li Qingfeng seemed a little confused and could only ask.
Hearing his question, the doorman, the security guard, responded very politely, "Hello, this is a bank. Please leave!"
"What?"
"I know this is a bank. Why are you asking me to leave?"
Hearing the security guard's words, Li Qingfeng became even more bewildered. He hadn't done anything!
Seeing this, Zong Shuyun behind him remained silent, displaying an expression of a spectator.
However, her face remained impassive, and from a distance, she looked like an iceberg.
Seeing this, the bank entrance security guard felt immense pressure. Under Zong Shuyun's gaze, he didn't know what to say.
He could only nod uncontrollably, looking at Li Qingfeng ahead with an impatient expression.
He said with some disdain, "You're so young, why learn bad habits like begging and squatting outside the bank every day! I advise you to leave quickly. Our bank doesn't have money to give charity to... people like you..."
The security guard's words continued incessantly. Hearing him, Li Qingfeng's mouth twitched a few times.
Looking at himself afterward, besides a little more mud on his clothes, he didn't look like a beggar, did he?
Of course, he might not think he looked like a beggar, but in that security guard's eyes, he did!
