Pulling David to sit on the stool of the stall, he said to the stall owner: "Boss, give me two bottles of still water."

David looked eagerly at the skewers that the boss was grilling, "Don't you want to eat something?"

Ling Luxian had a blank expression on his face.

To be honest, he really didn't want to eat the food here.

The cup of synthetic coffee he drank today almost made him vomit.

It tasted like fucking shit! I finished it though.

What can I do? I have already spent my money. If I drink, I will feel bad for myself, but if I don't drink, I will feel bad for the money.

Although I am not short of money, I can't waste it, right?

From then on, Ling Luxian vowed never to eat junk food again.

Especially cactus juice.

Oh my god, this thing glows.

Uranium point!

Although high-end synthetic foods are no less delicious than natural foods, looking at the environment of this stall, how the hell can it be considered high-end?!

But looking at David who was staring at him eagerly, I decided to risk my life for him.

"Boss, bring two more signature dishes."

These words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, which made it really difficult for Ling Lu to pronounce them.

"Okay, two grilled chicken skewers."

Seeing that there was business, the boss went to grill skewers happily.

David opened the can and took a sip.

"It's tasteless."

Ling Luxian glared at him. "It's just a bottle of water. How can it taste like that? Children can't drink alcohol."

"Tsk~" David smacked his lips, wanting to say something.

“No drinks either.”

David rolled his eyes at this.

Well, now I have nothing to say.

"Then just ask the boss to get a glass of water. Why spend this money?" David muttered softly.

David also felt sorry for the money, even though it was not his.

This bottle of broken water is really priced right.

A bottle costs ten euros, which is enough to buy several packs of snacks from the vending machine.

Hearing David's complaints, Ling Luxian remembered something.

So he pretended to be nervous and looked around.

You can tell there is a big secret behind this action.

The stall owner was grilling skewers while pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

Ling Luxian also said in a just-right voice: "I'll tell you a secret, don't spread it around."

This aroused David's interest.

David nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Ling Luxian pretended to sigh and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you."

"Uh-huh."

"Arasaka Corporation has been discharging toxic waste into the groundwater of Santo Domingo since 2061. That's why the disease rate in the Santo Domingo area is so high."

It’s worthy of our daily life, it’s a traditional art.

Thinking of this, Ling Luxian's anger rose in his chest.

I lived by the sea in my previous life!

"What!!" David shouted in shock, attracting the attention of other guests.

Ling Luxian quickly signaled him to lower his voice, "If you speak so loudly, everyone will know."

David lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his anger. "These damn capitalists will do anything to make money! Is there no one in charge of the city government?"

Ling Luxian sneered, "It's easier said than done. Arasaka is a powerful force, so this kind of thing must be kept secret. Besides, the mayor of Night City was pushed to that position by Arasaka. Do you expect him to catch Arasaka's people?"

David gritted his teeth and said, "Are we just going to sit there and do nothing? What about those innocent people?"

Ling Luxian drank the water silently, "Not to mention the citizens, even the Arasaka employees drink this water."

At this time, the boss came over with the skewers, "Two guests, your skewers are ready."

The skewers were ready, and the boss heard the exciting news.

The seeds have been planted, but we don’t know what kind of flowers will bloom.

Ling Lu picked up a string and tasted it, and sure enough, it still didn't taste good.

It smells like rubber, which is worthy of being complained by the comedian Goro Takemura.

He quickly pushed his plate to David.

He looked at David and said with a smile, "Don't think too much, just fill your stomach first."

"Why don't you eat?"

"I don't like it, you eat it." Ling Luxian patted David's shoulder and looked into the distance thoughtfully.

Well, this is meat, how could anyone not like to eat it?

At this moment, Ling Luxian's figure was as tall as a father in David's heart.

Yes, he must have said he didn’t like it because of me.

This, this... Only a father would say something like this!

This made David, who had never received care from his father, feel his father's warmth for the first time and he burst into tears for no reason.

"Why are you so nagging?" Ling Luxian frowned.

"It's okay, maybe the sand got in my eyes."

Children's emotions come and go quickly.

It didn't take long for my emotions to stabilize.

"Is this news true?" David said silently.

"Yes." Ling Luxian nodded. "Baozhen, this matter was investigated by the famous middleman in Saint Domingo, "Old Captain".

The people of Saint Domingo only knew that the water was polluted, but they didn’t know the details. The old captain lost many of his men in order to find out the truth.

David was a little confused. His mother saved money to support his schooling, but in the end she found out that Arasaka was the culprit who poisoned her hometown.

David knew that if he hadn't gone to Arasaka Academy, his family would have been better off.

At least mom won’t be so tired.

Every time I see my mother’s dark circles under her eyes, my heart aches.

After finishing their meal, Ling Luxian and David left the snack stand. On the way, David remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Ling Luxian asked.

"Um, what is your relationship with my mother?"

After saying this, David clenched his fists in worry.

Ling Luxian thought carefully for a while and said, "Your mother and I...are friends."

"Friends?"

David stopped and clenched his fists tightly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that David didn't catch up, Ling Luxian turned around and asked.

"I saw you give money to my mom."

David lowered his head so his expression couldn't be seen.

He had a bold and unspeakable idea in his heart.

"Hahaha~" Ling Lu laughed and punched David on the top of the head.

"You know you are not only insulting me, but also insulting your mother!

To put it bluntly, even the high-end stuff from the Dark Matter Club is only 3,000 euros a time, but I gave your mother 50,000!

Although I don't like to objectify others, your mother wouldn't be worth that much even if she were to be sold in pieces."

Hearing these almost insulting remarks, David glared at Ling Luxian.

"I admire the look in your eyes, but..." Ling Luxian said as he slapped David in the face with his backhand.

"Don't say anything insulting my intelligence in front of me anymore."

Ling Luxian rubbed his wrist and said, "Your mother and I are doing a legitimate underground business."

"Is there any legitimate business in the underground business?" David asked, covering his right cheek.

"Humph." Ling Luxian said unhappily, "Didn't you tell your mother about your little secret with that prosthetic doctor?

Can the medical center afford to support a money-eating beast like you with just that little salary? "

"I..." David hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, even though what we do is illegal, we won't do anything that goes against morality."

"That's better." David said stiffly.

"You should go home later to avoid embarrassment." Ling Luxian felt guilty and did not dare to look David in the eye.

David also turned his face away and didn't look at him.

"Well, this is my contact information, contact me if you have any questions."

After Ling Lu finished speaking, he turned around and left, looking a little embarrassed.
