Chapter 1207: Trusting Each Other
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Well, stay here and heal peacefully. After you are healed, we will leave.” Yang Ming nodded. In fact, Yang Ming already knew Victoria’s answer. The conversation was just a formality.
If Victoria didn’t want to accept it, most probably she wouldn’t have come out of the bathroom.
“I have no problem. Take a break first; I can leave tomorrow.” Victoria said, stretching her arms in front of Yang Ming and indicating that she had no problems. However, the intense exercise still made her brow slightly furrowed.
“Don’t be stubborn.” Yang Ming looked at Victoria and found it a little funny. No matter how cold her appearance was, she was still just a normal girl.
“No, I’m fine.” Victoria nodded firmly.
“Okay.” Yang Ming saw that Victoria was insistent, so he no longer urged her. “Then let it be the day after tomorrow. I have a little personal thing to deal with tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Victoria said, “I will rest tomorrow. There should be no problem.”
The personal matter that Yang Ming referred to was naturally Li Zhichun’s matters. Yang Ming was going to leave a day to settle Li Zhichun. One day was enough.
“Right, the remote control, have you seen it?” Yang Ming looked up at Victoria.
” En , I saw it…” Victoria nodded. “Thank you…”
“Give it to me.” Yang Ming reached out to Victoria.
” En ?” Victoria was stunned. She looked at Yang Ming at a loss and did not understand why Yang Ming asked her for the remote control.
“Give me the remote control.” Yang Ming repeated his previous words in detail.
” Ah … This…” Victoria hesitated. Could it be that Yang Ming just pretended to be a good person, and ultimately didn’t want to give me freedom?
As a matter of fact, Victoria didn’t want to hand over the remote control. However, Yang Ming’s previous words made her very moved. She subconsciously felt that Yang Ming was not the kind of person who would go back on his words. There must be a reason why he wanted the remote control now.
So, after a brief hesitation, Victoria took out the remote control from her pocket and handed it to Yang Ming. “I’ll give it to you…”
” Hehe , why did you hand it over? Isn’t this thing very important to you?” Yang Ming was also trying to tease Victoria, and of course, there were intentions to probe her.
Yang Ming wanted to see if Victoria really wanted to follow him, but Yang Ming understood that it seemed unrealistic for Victoria to give her life to him with just these few words he said. Yang Ming also did not hope for that.
However, Victoria had just handed over the remote control obediently, which made Yang Ming very surprised. What he did not expect was that this simple sentence moved Victoria to her core!
It was because Victoria was never respected by others, and Yang Ming was the first person to talk to her like this. Furthermore, Yang Ming promised to give her freedom, so this made Victoria feel that it was worthwhile to take a gamble once.
Even if Yang Ming backed out on his promise, she also received respect. Once, for her, was enough. So Victoria handed over the remote that was vital to her.
But when she found out that Yang Ming was being sarcastic, Victoria immediately pursed her lips and said, feeling aggrieved, “Isn’t it because you wanted it?”
“You handed it over just because I wanted it?” Yang Ming was very satisfied with Victoria’s action and did not reach for the remote control. He continued to ask.
“What would happen if I didn’t hand it over? Since I have decided to follow you, then the remote control should naturally be in your hands.” Victoria was very aware. She shrugged and said, “In fact, it doesn’t matter. I’ve already accepted it.”
” Hehe ,” Yang Ming took the remote from Victoria’s hand and smiled. “In fact, this remote has no use anymore. Dr. Jessica knows this best. Isn’t that right, Dr. Jessica?”
“?” Victoria looked at Yang Ming inexplicably, not knowing what he meant.
“Yes. Miss Victoria, when I was doing the surgery, I took the chip from your body and gave it to Mr. Yang.” Dr. Jessica heard Yang Ming and explained quickly.
“It’s been taken out?” Victoria was surprised at first, then her face showed a happy expression. “Really?”
Dr. Jessica nodded affirmatively.
All of this came too suddenly. The chip in her body once became a nightmare for Victoria. Victoria dreamed of removing the chip from her body, but she could not.
Under the eyes of Bobby and the Egyptian, she couldn’t have this kind of surgery. She did not have any chance to contact people in this area, so Victoria just dreamed about it in the past. When she was awake, she did not have such unrealistic ideas.
“I think there should be a kind of trust between us.” Yang Ming smiled. “And now, you gave me the remote control. I can be sure that you absolutely trust me. So, I told you about the fact that I took out the chip.”
“Thank you.” Victoria was really touched this time. The tears that lingered in her eyelids finally fell down. “Am I not very useless…? I am a boxer, but I’m actually crying… This never happened before in the arena…”
Yang Ming shook his head. “No, this is not useless, but it shows that you have found yourself and become a person with feelings! I hope that you will write your own emotions and sorrows on your face, and not have that cold face.”
“I will work hard.” Victoria smiled hard. She felt that her choice today would change her future life. She was no longer a slave nor a boxer who gave her life to her master.
Yang Ming left the hospital where Victoria was staying with Li Qiang. When they were going downstairs, Li Qiang gave a thumbs up to Yang Ming. “Brother Yang, you really have a way to win people’s hearts!”
“Really?” Yang Ming waved his hand. “I’ll admit that I deliberately said some words in front of Victoria, but in fact, I really think it too. Li Qiang, as a superior, it is correct to say some nice words, but you must keep to every word that you said. Don’t always talk empty words. Nice words can win people’s hearts, but lies can also lose people’s hearts!”
Li Qiang nodded thoughtfully. He knew that Yang Ming was reminding him to do this when he wanted to speak in the future.
…
Early the next morning, Li Zhichun found his old acquaintance, Jeffers.
“Hey, Jeffers, how are you? Let’s have breakfast together.” Li Zhichun patted Jeffers’ shoulders pa.s.sionately and spoke to him.
In the bidding process, Jeffers only retained the small coal mine in his hands, and there was no breakthrough. However, this was very satisfying for him because his original strength was relatively weak, and he did not dare to compete with others.
” Oh ? Mr. Li?” When Jeffers saw Li Zhichun, he subconsciously stepped two steps back, but he eventually stood still.
Li Zhichun naturally noticed Jeffers’ reaction, but he didn’t think it was a big deal. He felt that Jeffers was scared of him and couldn’t help but react. ” Hehe , of course, it’s me. Let’s go. Join me in my room to have breakfast. I had Tianjia buy some good porridge; it’s very savory…”
Jeffers hesitated, looked around, and found that no one else was there. So he nodded and said, “Okay, then let’s go to your room.”
Jeffers naturally heard rumors about Li Zhichun. So, when he saw Li Zhichun, he subconsciously kept a certain distance from him. However, due to their previous relations.h.i.+p, Jeffers felt that it was inappropriate if he did not speak to Li Zhichun.
Now, Li Zhichun invited him to have breakfast together. Jeffers wanted to refuse, but he heard that they were just going to his room; they were not going to a public restaurant. Moreover, he understood that he could indulge in delicious porridge, so Jeffers agreed reluctantly.
Li Zhichun also noticed that something was a little bit off with Jeffers, but he did not think too much about it. His concern now was to dispose of the iron ore and half a gold mine in his hands as soon as possible, and then leave this barren place.
Jeffers carefully followed Li Zhichun to his room. When Jeffers saw that no one saw him, he was relieved. After entering the door, he became more enthusiastic. “Mr. Li, why are you so polite? You invited me to eat so early in the morning.”
” Hehe , our relations.h.i.+p is good!” Li Zhichun driveled. Although Li Zhichun and Jeffers were more familiar before, they were only familiar with each other. They were far from having a “good relations.h.i.+p.”
” Hehe …” Jeffers naturally didn’t take it seriously; he laughed dryly with Li Zhichun.
“Jeffers, there is a huge good benefit now ready to fall on your head. How about it? Do you want to hear it?” Li Zhichun closed the door and spoke mysteriously.
“A big good thing? What’s the good thing?” Jeffers was surprised. He looked at Li Zhichun, somewhat surprised.
“If it not for the relations.h.i.+p between the two of us, I would not find you first!” Li Zhichun lowered his voice and said, “You only got the right to operate a coal mine this time, right?”
Although Jeffers was somewhat inexplicable about why Li Zhichun would say this, he nodded. “Yes, you know my strength. How do I have the qualification to fight with others for those profitable mines? Who doesn’t want to earn more money? But I can’t overestimate my own abilities, right?”
” Hehe , but now there is a great opportunity placed right in front of you!” Li Zhichun said, “See if you want to grasp it or not.”
