Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1765: Chapter 1765: Storm Over the Tower (Part 2)

Chuzheng was feeling extremely uncomfortable. She turned over, poured herself a glass of water, but before she could drink it, someone burst in from outside.

”Tower Master, those people are about to break in!”

It was the same young man as before, even more anxious than before.

”Let them break in if they want.” Chuzheng supported the table, holding a cup ready to drink water.

The young man grabbed her sleeve, Chuzheng’s hand shook, spilling most of the water.

”Tower Master, they’re breaking in! How are we supposed to survive!!” The young man yelled fiercely, making Chuzheng’s sleeve even more uncomfortable.

I just want a sip of water...

Why is it so hard!!

”You won’t die, don’t worry.” There’s more to the show, so it’s impossible for you to pinch out and get a lunch box.

Now that Fengman Building has nothing inside, those people will gain nothing by charging in.

Chuzheng’s calm demeanor made the young man unable to continue howling, he collected himself: ”Tower Master, you seem to...”

Chuzheng glanced at him: ”Seem like what?”

The original character’s personality was a bit erratic, but recently being pressured by debt collectors made her seem somewhat insane, almost the same style as this young man.

If you can shout, never just speak.

At this change, how could the young man not be suspicious?

The young man slapped the table, suddenly increasing his volume: ”Are you planning to sneak off without us!”

The young man immediately wailed: ”We raised you like a bastard, how can you abandon us and run away...”

Chuzheng’s insides twitched: ”You’re about the same age as me.”

The youth named Xi Nan was only a year older than the original character. They were orphaned children picked up by people in the tower, with a younger sister named Xin Yu.

The names were chosen by the original character.

When the siblings were picked up, the original character happened to see the line from a poem, ’Today green water bridges, yesterday Xi Nan Xin Yu’, and after ’green water’ and ’bridges’ were discarded, Xi Nan and Xin Yu were chosen as their names.

Xi Nan smoothly changed his tune: ”The uncles and aunties in the tower raised you like bastards, how can you abandon them and run away...”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Forgive me for saying, according to the normal plot, I should be rushing to escape, preserving the green mountain never fearing a lack of firewood.

Why aren’t you group of extras following the normal script?

Do you have to drag me down with you!

Chuzheng pulled her sleeve back, stepped back a bit, and confidently took a sip of water.

The cool water soothed her throat, which felt like it was on fire.

Chuzheng put down the glass and interrupted Xi Nan’s rant: ”How much do we owe?”

Xi Nan: ”Two hundred thousand silver.” Isn’t the Tower Master clear about this? Why is she asking him?

Chuzheng: ”...”

What did the original character’s rotten dad do outside to owe this much?!

And someone loaned him... Are these people brainless!

Xi Nan saw Chuzheng deep in thought, pessimistically said: ”Tower Master, you don’t have to ponder, we definitely can’t pay it back.”

Chuzheng: ”...” When you own bastards, you’ll know there’s nothing you can’t pay back!

But...

Why is there no movement from the bastard?

Whenever this time comes, the bastard plays dead, is he messing with me?!

”Tower Master?” Xi Nan’s face showed more confusion, Chuzheng seemed to read the intent in his eyes: If the Tower Master runs, should I chase or follow?

Don’t ask Chuzheng why she understood, his performance was that obvious.

-

The doors of Wind and Rain Tower were already opened, quite a few people were clamoring to enter, the people of Wind and Rain Tower hesitated to block them or not.

It’s not that they didn’t want to block, it’s that they really couldn’t.

After all, the ones in debt are them, if this spreads, what will others say?

Debtors not paying debts and attacking people?

The reputation of Wind and Rain Tower was already bad, it would probably get worse, and at that point, would be reduced to the level of vagabonds... Well, now they’re not much different from vagabonds.

Wind and Rain Tower used to participate in various affairs in the martial world, now they’ve been kicked out.

”Repay the money!”

”Bring out your Tower Master!”

”You must repay today, or don’t expect us to leave!”

Chuzheng leaned against the railing, expressionlessly watching the people below chanting slogans, so many people... better not go down.

”Tower Master...”

”No money.”

Xi Nan obviously knew there was no money, if they had money, they wouldn’t be like this.

”What do we do now? Just let them make a fuss here?”

”Do you have a good plan?”

”...”

You are the Tower Master, if he had a plan, he would be the Tower Master!!

Chuzheng didn’t plan to bother with the people below demanding money, the people of Wind and Rain Tower could only listen to the group continuously chanting repayment.

This group wasn’t intending to leave, directly camping there.

”Tower Master, are we really letting them stay here?” Xi Nan asked worriedly.

Chuzheng didn’t know what he was worried about.

In this place, the valuable things were long gone.

This group is only asking for money, they haven’t asked for lives, so what’s there to worry about.

”If you can drive them away, go.” Chuzheng patted Xi Nan’s shoulder: ”I believe in you, do it well and you’ll be the protector.”

Xi Nan: ”...”

Does the protector know you’re so casually letting him step down?

Wind and Rain Tower has two protectors, one male, one female, still a married couple, which probably is why they work together without tiring.

The original character was more or less taught by these two protectors, to say they’re like parents without blood relation wouldn’t be wrong.

Chuzheng hadn’t seen these two yet.

By evening, Chuzheng saw the Left Protector... a very distinguished and valiant middle-aged woman.

Her face was slightly haggard, clothing similar to the rest in Wind and Rain Tower, couldn’t tell she was the exceptionally esteemed Left Protector.

”Tower Master, is your health alright?” The Left Protector wished to lay hands on Chuzheng as soon as she arrived.

Of course, Chuzheng wouldn’t let people touch her, she quietly avoided the Left Protector: ”Much better.”

When she first arrived, she felt very uncomfortable, now it wasn’t so bad.

”That’s good.” The Left Protector breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing genuine concern: ”This is the chicken I bought on the way back for the Tower Master to eat tonight and fortify your body. Xi Nan, take it to stew for the Tower Master.”

Xi Nan grudgingly: ”Only the Tower Master?”

How long has it been since they all had meat?

Looking at the chicken now, even if it’s raw, he wants to take a bite.

Left Protector: ”The Tower Master is unwell and needs to replenish properly.”

Xi Nan: ”But the Tower Master just got sick from eating badly... Eating more, won’t it be wasted?”

Left Protector: ”...”

Chuzheng: ”...”

”Why are you talking so much nonsense, go if I tell you!” The Left Protector suddenly exploded, Xi Nan yelped and ran away with the chicken.

”Little rascal!”

The Left Protector cursed a bit, but her tone didn’t reveal any anger.

These years Wind and Rain Tower had no rules, the people in the tower almost treating everyone as family, the atmosphere was quite relaxed, like a big family.

Chuzheng: ”...”

A once grand organization, reduced to such a small workshop, it’s remarkable.
