Lao Yang sighed and said, "Stop asking so many questions! Just tell me... whether you can afford it or not!"

Lao Yang continued, "I... I told you you couldn't come up with the money, right? If it only cost 40... would I still be coming to you?"

Wu Xie looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Ling Zi, could you... help Lao Yang put together some money?"

Ling Xiao nodded simply and said, "I do have 400 million."

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Xiao with gratitude: "Thank you..."

Ling Xiao raised his hand to interrupt him, and asked blankly, "But why should I lend it to him?"

Ling Xiao's words startled Wu Xie, who asked, "Aren't we friends?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "We're good friends! If you need money, I'll definitely lend it to you, but..." Ling Xiao paused, "I only met him for the first time today! You want me to lend 400 million to someone I just met? I... I'm not really sure about it." He lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake.

For the first time, Ling Xiao found Wu Xie's naiveté quite laughable. Was it naiveté, or just stupidity? Perhaps he should just take a shortcut and let him turn evil. Besides, if he borrowed money, how would he go tomb raiding?

Wu Xie realized his mistake and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Lingzi, I was just worried because my brother was in trouble."

It would have been better if he hadn't said that, because once he did, Ling Xiao wanted to laugh even more. Your brother is in trouble and needs to raise 400 million, yes, you're righteous! You dare to lend him money without even asking for a reason, and besides, he didn't ask you to lend him the money, he just asked you for help, and you actually rushed to borrow money from him?

Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "I should be the one apologizing. After all, I'm really sorry I didn't lend you the money."

Wu Xie looked at his self-reproachful face and felt as if he had done something terribly wrong, as if he were not even human!

Old Yang hurriedly chimed in, "Hey! Let's...let's not talk about lending money! I just came to find you...to keep me company...I'm just here to cover for you! Anyway, it's not your first time there! It's not a big deal, really...it's not even tomb raiding, just picking up bargains! Let's go to that burial pit, pick up some stuff, it's not illegal, just treat it as a trip. You...and your little brother, neither of you have girlfriends, right? The girls in the mountains...are incredibly beautiful! Maybe you'll find one there!"

Lao Yang offered a few more words of encouragement, and Ling Xiao also expressed his desire to join in the fun, so Wu Xie reluctantly agreed.

Before leaving, Ling Xiao secretly threw a peanut on the ground. Lao Yang stepped on it and fell flat on his face!

Before Lao Yang could react, Ling Xiao squatted down as if to help him up, but instead stepped on Lao Yang's hand and secretly ground it, exclaiming, "Ouch! Lao Yang! How did you fall? Let me help you up!"

Lao Yang opened his mouth and shouted, "Hand! Hand!"

"Hand? What hand?" Ling Xiao looked down and realized he was stepping on Lao Yang's hand. He quickly stood up: "Sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't see it." So, material things can feel pain too!

Wu Xie helped Lao Yang up and comforted Ling Xiao, saying, "Ling Zi, it's alright. You meant well. Lao Yang is tough and resilient, so don't blame yourself."

Ling Xiao looked at Lao Yang with remorseful eyes, hoping to beg for his forgiveness. Wu Xie also secretly nodded at Lao Yang, who smiled and said, "Yes! You... you also helped me out of kindness! No... don't blame yourself."

"Really? Thank you, Lao Yang! You're such a good person!" Ling Xiao smiled sweetly at Lao Yang.
