Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 673: Chapter 671: Priceless [4th Update]

The call was made, and Lu Xiaobu looked at Zhao Liu on the ground: ”Do you have any tricks left?”

”No more! No more!”

Zhao Liu shook his head frantically.

”Given up?!”

”Given up!”

”Then get ready to start!” Lu Xiaobu suddenly perked up!

He took the spare phone from Liang Lan, switched the card, and was ready to start recording!

And at that moment.

”Big brother?!”

A voice full of fear came from outside the door.

Lu Xiaobu turned his head and saw Ling’er right away!

At this moment, she picked up the kitchen knife they first saw when they met!

”How did you get here?”

Lu Xiaobu was taken aback.

This place should be off-limits to the people of this village!

”I... I... I was worried about you!”

Ling’er, holding the kitchen knife, looked at Zhao Liu on the ground, fear in her eyes, her body trembling: ”This devil is terrifying!”

Hearing Ling’er’s words, Zhao Liu immediately felt bitter!

A devil?! Did he qualify?!

Didn’t she see that he was just an ant right now?!

If he was a devil, then the ’big brother’ she spoke of was the Divine King!

”It’s alright, it’s alright, there’s nothing to worry about now.” Lu Xiaobu walked over and patted Ling’er’s head: ”The devil you’re talking about no longer exists, if you don’t believe me, I can make him bark for you.”

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, Zhao Liu didn’t even wait for Lu Xiaobu to officially speak, he started barking right away: ”Woof woof woof woof...”

He kept barking nonstop, without Lu Xiaobu telling him to stop, he didn’t dare to!

Seeing Zhao Liu’s behavior, Ling’er’s fear finally eased a lot.

At this point, she regained her senses and started paying attention to her surroundings!

Immediately, she realized that Zhao Liu, who was like a devil in her heart, was actually just a prisoner now!

And there were several people she didn’t recognize here, especially the four sisters, each more beautiful than the last, making her feel ashamed!

Moreover, being a girl herself, she easily noticed that all four of the sisters, who looked like fairies, were focused on her big brother!

Who exactly was this big brother?!

Her heart was filled with questions.

But, she obediently did not ask!

Seeing that Ling’er was back to herself, Lu Xiaobu said with a smile: ”You are a grown girl now. Shall we keep this matter our little secret? Let’s not tell anyone.”

”Hmm-hmm!” Ling’er nodded her head vigorously, showing that she understood.

”Here, this is for you.” Lu Xiaobu pulled out the phone that had run out of battery last night, which Ling’er had used.

”I can’t take it!”

Ling’er quickly pulled her hand back: ”Big brother, I won’t tell anyone, really, I won’t!”

The phone was too precious!

She had already asked around, the phone was called Shadow and it cost several thousand yuan—it was worth more than her family’s annual income!

In fact, what she didn’t know was that the price she knew was for a regular Shadow phone, while the one in front of her was worth more than a dozen Shadows!

And also, she felt a bit sad inside; big brother didn’t trust her!

”This isn’t hush money, it’s a promise.”

Lu Xiaobu grabbed Ling’er’s hand and handed over the phone: ”Today you had the courage to come find me with a knife, that’s a debt I owe you! In the future, no matter what happens, as long as you come find me with this phone, I’ll help you solve it!”

He wouldn’t directly give her money, as that would perhaps spoil the girl’s innocent character!

”This!”

The girl hesitated.

”Oh, right, I will arrange for that Teacher Li to continue video chatting with you on this phone.”

Lu Xiaobu smiled slightly and continued.

”Um... Okay! I will take good care of it! And I will definitely return it to you later!”

The little girl made a firm promise.

Although simple and unadorned, she was not foolish.

The matter of Teacher Li continuing to teach her was extremely important to her!

She would remember this kindness!

”That’s right.” Lu Xiaobu smiled, ”Sister Lan, give her the charger as well.”

”Okay, Young Master!” Liang Lan nodded.

”Alright, you should go back now. Lest your grandparents worry.”

Lu Xiaobu continued to speak.

”Mhm, mhm!”

Ling’er nodded her head, knowing that Lu Xiaobu had matters to handle, and turned to leave.

Once Ling’er had left, Lu Xiaobu turned his gaze back to Zhao Liu: ”Alright, stop yelling, let’s get ready to start!”

Following that, Zhao Liu began what seemed like hellish rehearsals. No, that’s not right, start over, again, cut, once more!

Well, Lu Xiaobu was a director after all, so his demands were very high!

Zhao Liu was almost crying!

After much toiling, Lu Xiaobu was finally satisfied and called it a day.

Subsequently, they left the village.

And that very afternoon, the police uncle took Zhao Liu away!

At the moment he was taken away, the whole village cheered!

”Heaven has eyes!”

”It’s great, the bully has finally been taken away!”

”Thank heavens, thank heavens!”

”Our good days have come!”

”Without this bully, we can finally live well!”

”...”

Ling’er’s grandmother was also extremely excited: ”Old man, old man, that bastard has finally been caught!”

”Who?” Ling’er’s grandfather shakily came out, his eyes full of disbelief.

”It’s Zhao Liu! He’s been taken away!” the grandmother confirmed again!

”Hahaha! That’s great! Fantastic!”

The grandfather turned and walked away.

”Old man, where are you going?” the grandmother was startled.

”I remember we had some leftover firecrackers from last year, I’m going to find them!”

The grandfather moved with unexpected agility!

”Eh, eh, eh, weren’t they supposed to be saved for New Year’s?”

The grandmother grew anxious.

Meanwhile, in Ling’er’s room, Ling’er was hugging the smartphone that Lu Xiaobu had lent her, grinning foolishly.

What ’Heaven has opened its eyes?’

Clearly, it was the elder brother who took care of Zhao Liu!

The elder brother was the one who brought them peace!

She really wanted to go out now and tell everyone!

But glancing at the smartphone, she suppressed that thought!

Yes, this was a secret between her and elder brother, she promised the elder brother she wouldn’t tell!

She must study hard, not letting down the elder brother who lent her the smartphone!

She was certainly going to get into a good university!

Even now, her understanding of the smartphone was still only at the level of studying.

She didn’t yet realize what kind of promise Lu Xiaobu had given her!

It wasn’t until later, when she got into university, that she stepped into society and gradually came to understand the elder brother who was approachable and patted her head, just how formidable and terrifying he was!

At the same time, she came to understand the true value of the promise represented by the smartphone in her hand!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that even if she worked hard for a lifetime, in the end, perhaps, no, she would certainly not match up to the value of this smartphone!

Priceless and inestimable!
