Chapter 884 Help
"will not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, and then he looked at the two old men, "I think maybe I can help a little."

The old man, the old lady and the man kneeling on the ground were all stunned.

"I have a friend whose father works in the Public Security Bureau."

"Really, really?"

A faint light appeared in the old lady's dark eyes.

The old man's hunched back straightened slightly.

Although he couldn't bear to dash his parents' hopes, the man hesitated and finally spoke.

"The police shouldn't be able to help me with my situation."

"I don't have any evidence."

On the contrary, the eldest brother had a promissory note signed by him in his hand.

He also thought about calling the police at first.

But after careful consideration and out of fear of retaliation, he gave up the plan.

"Is that so?"

The old lady didn't believe it, "Why can't the police do anything about it?"

"He's blackmailing me!"

"It's all this kid's fault!"

The old man figured it out a bit, "He did borrow money from this kid."

"The IOU is also in that guy's hands."

“Even if the amount above is false, who can prove it?”

“I never wrote an IOU.”

The man muttered something under his breath.

"You might as well have written the IOU from the beginning!"

The old man glared at the man fiercely, "If that were the case, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened."

"Who told you to take chances?"

"I don't!"

The man cried out for injustice, but he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Even though he didn't really intend to repay the money, it is undeniable that he was secretly happy when he found out that he didn't have to write an IOU.

"Ah~"

The old lady sighed, and the light in her eyes dimmed again.

Was it really what she wished for?

"uncertain."

Xiao Xiao said, "I can ask my friend's father to check on that big brother first."

He didn't elaborate, but everyone else's eyes slowly lit up.

In their opinion, how could someone who did such a thing be clean?

As long as the police find out that he has other problems, maybe their predicament can be solved together.

"Even if—"

The elder brother found out that there was no problem, and he also had a way to make the elder brother understand.
Repaying debts is justified.

However, setting a trap to blackmail is wrong.

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Even if?"

The old man heard Xiao Xiao's unfinished words with his sharp ears.

"nothing."

Xiao Xiao shook his head and said, "I'll make a phone call first."

"If I may-"

He looked at the man with a complex expression of mixed joy and sorrow, and said, "Please come with me to meet my friend and tell him about your situation."

"Oh."

The man nodded blankly, then reacted and exclaimed, "I'm going to see the police?!"

Perhaps out of fear of his elder brother, he had some inexplicable resistance to seeing the police.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, the old man started cursing, "What's your name?"

"What happened to seeing the police?"

"You haven't done anything wrong."

"I did do something stupid!"

"Besides, Xiaoxiao is helping you. Do you still want to throw everything to others and do nothing yourself?"

"Yes, Asong, you are the person involved, so you have to explain the situation to the police."

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

The old lady was somewhat dissatisfied with the man's sudden surprise.

Looking at the man with his head drooped, Xiao Xiao shrugged, turned around and walked a few steps towards the yard. Looking at the phone in his hand, he recalled.

Although he didn't have Meng Jixi's phone number saved in his address book, Meng Jixi had called him before.

He flipped through the communication records.

Ah, found it.

Xiao Xiao curled his lips slightly and smiled.

Xiao Xiao dialed the number.

"beep-"

"Master Xiao."

Xiao Xiao:.
So fast.

".Meng Jixi."

“I was just looking at my phone.”

As if realizing his urgency, the other party couldn't help but explain.

"Oh."

Xiao Xiao responded, not wanting to dwell on this topic, and asked directly: "Meng Jixi, do you have time now?"

"I need your help with something."

"Have time."

Meng Jixi was equally straightforward, "Where do we meet?"

Xiao Xiao reported the address of Xiao’s Teahouse.

Xiao Xiao hung up the phone, turned around and walked into the house.

Everyone who had been anxiously looking at the door had a look of trepidation and anticipation on their faces.

The corners of his mouth curled up, "Okay, my friend will be here soon."

"Grandpa Mu, Grandma Tan, just wait here for news."

"Mu Tansong, I made an appointment with him to meet at Xiao's Teahouse."

"You come with me."

"Oh, good."

The man nodded and walked to Xiao Xiao's side.

He had no reaction when Xiao Xiao called him by his full name.

Because that's what the kid called him when he was a kid.

He still remembered that one time when he and a few friends were "educating" an ignorant boy, they were caught by this little devil.

At that time, he was a senior in high school, and this kid had just started elementary school.

However, he felt indescribably awkward being stared at silently by the little devil.

He also knew that his parents liked this little kid very much.

So, he quickly scolded the boy who was blocked by them and let him go.

Faced with the puzzled looks from others, he could only snort and quickly walk past the little ghost.

I originally wanted to threaten the kid not to tell his parents what he saw today.

Thinking about it later, it seems too frustrating to do this.

So I gave up.

He was particularly well-behaved during those days, and when he returned home he couldn't help but be a little cautious because he felt guilty and nervous.

Although he was scolded a lot, he is not self-abuse. Who would actively seek scolding if they could avoid it?
It turned out that everything was peaceful at home.

He was very satisfied.

It seems that the boy still has some loyalty.

Then he didn't care about the boy's disrespectful name for him.

When Xiao Xiao went out to make a phone call just now, the man had already been called up by the old lady.

He didn't dare sit down and just stood aside.

I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or my legs are numb, but I'm walking sideways.

Xiao Xiao:.
Two elderly people:.
The old man and the old lady looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

Then they looked at Xiao Xiao, then at the man, with worried looks on their faces.

"Xiaoxiao, keep an eye on this kid and tell him not to talk nonsense."

The old man asked Xiao Xiao to do it with concern, and then looked at the man sternly, "Mu Tansong, you have to listen to Xiao Xiao, do you understand?"

"A Song, you need to explain everything to the police."

"Answer whatever the police ask you, and don't lose your temper."

The old lady gave earnest advice.

"It's annoying, I know!"

The man's face flushed red.
