Daomu Biji: Restart

Book 1: Chapter 123

I stared blankly at the blood, not thinking about what it meant.

I touched the cigarette I was smoking just now and silently wiped the blood off.

People's understanding of their own abilities was a gradual process. When I made more than a dozen phone calls and found that no one would answer, I realized that I understood my own abilities better.

When I was able to accomplish so many things before, Uncle Two had been backing me up. I was aware that he had contributed a lot before, but now it seemed that his power was beyond the scope of my imagination.

But I didnt lose hope and spent the next day trying to contact all kinds of people. It didnt matter whether it was borrowing or deceiving, as long as people realized that it was related to finances in any way, they would immediately reject me for various reasons.

Talking about money was very tacky, but it was only at this time that I realized the power it had. This kind of universal equivalent actually represented an absolute resource.

Fatty's news after making some inquiries also had me extremely anxious. In fact, it was very simple. If there were pores or spaces in the ceiling of that underground lake cave that contained some air, then the two of them might have survived. If not, then they would be dead ten times over.

And if we didnt enter the cave within two months, the water would rush into the depths of the cave when it receded. At that time, it would be extremely difficult to save them even if they were alive.

Fatty didn't believe that I couldnt get any money and tried to do it himself for a long time. When he found that no one would pay attention to him, he started cussing up a storm.

I asked an agent to evaluate my Jinbei. It had been modified and was worth some money on the black market, so I could probably get a certain amount for it. I told Fatty that the Bai family were good swimmers, but they definitely wouldnt help us. There were still some good swimmers in the business, so no matter what their character was like, we should still call them. We would have to see how many we could get with the money from my Jinbei.

Fatty looked at the numbers on the paper and said to me, No need to think about a few. With this price, we can only afford one person. I have a candidate in mind. This man has a strange personality. You have to personally go and ask him. If he likes you, the price isnt a huge problem.

When I asked who it was, Fatty said, "Have you ever heard of Hong Ding Shuixian (1)?

Why does it sound like a prostitute's name? I asked.

Hes a man, but he really is flirtatious, Fatty said.

TN Notes:

(1) Hong Ding Shuixian can translate as red-capped daffodil. The characters for shuixian () can mean daffodil or legendary water immortal. I think the drama just shortened it to Hong Ding but I can't remember
