Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

It was bad enough that this person wanted to kill him before, but now there was a sucker who wanted to save him and just take the money and leave. He couldn't stand it and he was not letting the other person go.

The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment, but he was right about this matter, so he said shamelessly: "I didn't lose any money, but one silver dollar is not enough to buy your life. It will cost at least one hundred silver dollars to bail you out at the police station!"

Shen Jinzhen is not a traditional woman who never leaves the house, and she knows the price of bail very well.

She looked directly at the middle-aged man opposite her and retorted with a straight face:

"Bail is mostly used to bail out prisoners sentenced to more than ten years in prison, as well as people with special identities. This price was before the fall of Shanghai. How many families can still come up with this amount of money now?"

The people are always the ones who suffer the most in war. During the Anti-Japanese War, most of the people's homes were ransacked by the Japanese army after they were occupied, and only a small number of them still had the cash on hand.

Even if someone can afford the money, they would not spend so much money to save a stranger.

After hearing Shen Jinzhen's clear and logical analysis, the middle-aged man felt a little embarrassed. A little naked man was indeed not worth that much money, and one silver dollar was indeed not a small amount.

"Okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let this thief go this time. If you do it again, I'll break your legs and send you to the police station."

The middle-aged man uttered harsh words and walked away in anger.

"Bah, I'll rob you next time."

Looking at the middle-aged man's back, the young man next to Shen Jinzhen retorted without showing any weakness. He said that next time he would bring a pair of pliers and he would not believe that he could not steal this man's wallet.

"If you have the time, you might as well find a proper job. At least you can have enough food and clothing."

I still remember the last time this young man said he wanted to work, I thought it was a serious job, but I didn’t expect it to be this.

Shen Jinzhen seldom interacts with people like this on a daily basis. If he didn't have something to ask now, the two of them would probably not have any interaction.

The young man listened to Shen Jinzhen's words and pointed at the people around him who were starving to the point of skin and bones. "Look at them, have they solved the problem of food and clothing? It's just that group of businessmen who are exploiting us cheap labor."

He would never go looking for a job to work for those landlords' slaves. Three copper coins a day could just buy three steamed buns, not enough to eat.

It would be better to make money quickly by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

Shen Jinzhen knew that she had no chance to talk to this young man, so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore. She didn't save him out of kindness, but because of the watch, she was suspicious.

"I just saved you, at least I saved you from jail. Is it okay for you to do me a favor?"

In order to prevent the young lion from asking for too much, Shen Jinzhen planned to exchange the favor he had just shown for some information.

But the young man did not appreciate it.

"Who needs your help? I don't have to do anything in prison, but at least I can have a bowl of porridge every day."

If he didn't have to work in prison, he would really like to go in and lie down and sleep, without having to do anything every day.

This kid is such a scoundrel. Shen Jin was so angry that he wanted to leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, the young man stopped her again and said, "But since you helped me, according to the rules of the underworld, as long as it's not murder, arson, burning, looting or other unscrupulous things, anything else is fine."

Shen Jinzhen was almost laughing out of anger, "You robbed by yourself, but you can't help me rob things?"

This is typical bureaucracy, where officials are allowed to set fires but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps.

The young man thought about it, as if pondering, and was about to make a decision that went against his personal will when Shen Jinzhen spoke first.

"I won't let you help me rob, but I want to ask you, when and where did you get the Patek Philippe watch you mentioned just now?"
