Chapter 262: Chapter 262: A Childhood Friend’s Plea for Help

What the hell?

Upon learning about Li Daniu’s job, Yang Cheng was utterly confused. He stared intently at the other’s expression, and upon seeing the seriousness there, he immediately understood.

No wonder Li Daniu’s body was so weakened like this.

It turns out it was because of the nature of this job.

After a moment of silence, Yang Cheng lit a cigarette and said, "Brother, don’t blame me for speaking bluntly. Even though your income might be impressive right now, health is the most important. Your Essence Qi is seriously depleted. If you continue like this, it will definitely cause problems."

"I know!"

Li Daniu sighed deeply, grabbing his hair with a face full of pain. "I took this job out of desperation. Two months ago, something happened at home, and I needed money. In a bind, this job found me, and I took it up."

"Is the issue at home resolved now?"

Yang Cheng’s face turned serious. If it forced Li Daniu to do this job, things must not be simple.

Li Daniu said, "It’s resolved, it just required some money."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng relaxed a bit, picked up a glass of beer, and said to Li Daniu, "Brother, take my advice. Since the home issue is resolved, don’t continue with this job. You’re still young, you can regain your health. If you keep doing this, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Sigh!!"

However, Li Daniu sighed heavily again. He clinked glasses lightly with Yang Cheng and looked up, downing his drink in one go.

Seeing the speed at which he drank, Yang Cheng let out a gentle sigh too. He could see Li Daniu was in a very low mood. Without speaking, he also looked up and finished his beer.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, Li Daniu placed the glass hard on the table and gently shook his head, saying, "No, I can’t leave now."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Yang Cheng frowned deeply, his eyes filled with confusion.

Li Daniu said, "Because I signed a life contract. I have to be her man for six months; if I breach it, I need to pay her a lot of money."

"What era are we in and you still believe in a life contract?"

Yang Cheng’s frown deepened further.

"She knows that a life contract doesn’t hold up, but she signed me to an employment contract. I must work beside her for half a year, or I’ll need to compensate 20 million. The contract is legal, I even got a lawyer to check it. I don’t dare leave now. If I leave, I’m done for!"

Upon saying this, Li Daniu sighed again and continued, "Of course, my reason for not leaving isn’t just the life contract. The bigger reason is that this woman is really something else. She has a gun and many subordinates, clearly someone from the underworld... And most importantly, she knows where my family is and has all their information. If I leave, she’ll definitely harm my family."

"What kind of woman are you serving that she’s so domineering!"

Yang Cheng’s expression turned very strange. He couldn’t believe Li Daniu was in such a predicament. If he could, he’d step in to help Li Daniu.

He couldn’t just stand by and watch Li Daniu be completely drained by the woman.

"Her identity is very mysterious, I don’t even know what she really does, only that she’s particularly wealthy."

Li Daniu lit a cigarette, speaking softly.

Yang Cheng asked, "Isn’t there any other way?"

"There is a way!" Li Daniu immediately said, "I mentioned to her before that I couldn’t handle it and wanted to resign, but she was unwilling. Unless there’s a man even stronger and more capable than me to replace me, she won’t let me leave..."

Saying this, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Yang Cheng.

"What... what are you trying to do?"

Feeling Li Daniu’s gaze, Yang Cheng immediately sensed something was off, his eyes turning cautious at once.

"Hehehe!"

But Li Daniu didn’t answer, only laughing slyly, his eyebrows raising as if saying, you know.

"Don’t look at me with that kind of expression."

Yang Cheng felt increasingly uneasy. He frowned tightly, displeased, "Just say what you have to say, don’t beat around the bush. If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll leave. This drinking session will end here today."

However, Li Daniu still said nothing, just looked at Yang Cheng as he did before.

"I’m leaving!!"

Yang Cheng was very direct, without much hesitation, he immediately stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Li Daniu panicked. He quickly stood up and grabbed Yang Cheng’s arm, saying, "Brother, don’t leave. Only you can save me now. I’m begging you, save me; you don’t want to watch me get drained dry either."

Yang Cheng asked, "What do you mean?"

"Sit down first, and I’ll explain slowly."

Li Daniu smiled a pleading smile.

If it were anyone else, Yang Cheng wouldn’t stay. But since he was his childhood friend, he couldn’t ignore it. He promptly sat back down and said, "Your situation is indeed tricky, I need to think of a way." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"No need to think, I have a way."

Li Daniu chuckled and said, "How about you replace me?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng was slightly taken aback, looking at Li Daniu with eyes full of astonishment. He couldn’t believe the other would come up with such a solution.

Without thinking, he directly said, "No, I don’t agree!"

"Why not?"

Li Daniu looked extremely anxious and said, "That aunt just said you’re particularly strong in this regard, almost made her unable to get out of bed. Besides, you’re a cultivator, your physique must be much stronger than ordinary people. Taking down that woman would be a breeze."

"I’m not worried about that, I just feel it’s not quite appropriate to do so."

Yang Cheng looked tormented.

"What’s so inappropriate about it?"

Li Daniu widened his eyes suddenly and said, "I’m almost drained dry, barely have any strength left. I even tried finding people to replace me before, but none of those I chose passed her assessment. Now, only you can save me..."

Saying this, he suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "That woman might be fierce, but she’s extraordinarily beautiful, like an angel."

"Really?"

A note of skepticism flashed through Yang Cheng’s eyes. Do such beautiful women really go around keeping men?

"You don’t believe me? I’ll show you her photo, then you’ll know whether I’m lying."

Li Daniu immediately took out his phone and started rapidly scrolling through it.

After about a minute, he handed the phone over to Yang Cheng, saying, "Brother, take a look at how this woman looks."

Yang Cheng took the phone with curiosity, and at the moment his eyes landed on the screen, he was instantly stunned...
