Jiang Xiaobai didn't go back to his house but headed directly to the provincial library.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the provincial library by bus. On the bus, he also read a book by the way. It had to be said that his reading speed now was really fast. He couldn't read ten lines at a glance, but two lines at a glance was easy.
Because it was a book from the book city, the earnings from this book were average, only tens of thousands of yuan.
After entering the library, because it was in the morning, there weren't many people. Basically, they were all younger faces than him. It showed that the main users of the library were students, especially college students, followed by those in their thirties or forties who had more leisure time at work. There were also middle school students, but not as many as the previous two groups.
After coming to the library, he first walked to the area where newspapers and magazines were placed. He tasted the sweetness of reading magazines in the hotel last night with ten times the earnings. So this was his first choice.
As he expected, there were all kinds of magazines here and without hesitation, he picked up his phone and started scanning. As long as it wasn't included in the Golden House, he would open and read it.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. Basically, all the ones that weren't included were read. It wasn't that he read a lot of books. The main reason was that these magazines were very thin and only the recent issues weren't included. Most of the previous issues were included, so it was very fast to read.
He checked the personal center and the earnings in more than one hour were about one million. It was quite good. In just a few days, his net worth exceeded three million. This money could already barely buy a house.
"Huff..."
He took a deep breath. His goal today was to earn enough money to buy a villa.
Then he came to the historical materials area. With his intuition, there were relatively fewer books in this area included in the Golden House. The ones included in the Golden House before seemed to be the common ones on the Internet. Most of the ones on the Internet were literary works and novels. He scanned several books with his phone. Sure enough, on average, one out of every five or six books wasn't included.
He picked three or four books, sat at the table, and prepared to read after brewing for a while. But just at this moment, the phone rang.
This was a strange phone number.
"May I ask if this is... Mr. Jiang...?"
After answering the phone, a man's voice came from the other end. The pronunciation and enunciation were unclear, as if his teeth were leaking air. The voice was a little familiar, but Jiang Xiaobai didn't recognize who it was for a moment.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Mr. Jiang... I'm Black... Black Three, the one you taught a lesson this morning!"
The man on the other end replied.
"Oh, it's you. What's up?"
Jiang Xiaobai said calmly. It was certain that Black Three would call. With thirteen criminal records, especially the one he mentioned in 2017, it was enough for him to stay in prison forever. No matter how much money his boss gave him, he had to have a life to spend it. Which was more important was self-evident.
But these weren't too important for Jiang Xiaobai. Whether Black Three called or whether he would retaliate in the future weren't important either. Because the last prediction in the scanning result of Black Three was that this afternoon, Black Three would die...
"Mr. Jiang, you're right. It was Liang Mengchao who asked me to cause trouble for Miss Jiang Xue. He gave me three million. I set a trap in the bar and made Jiang Hao fall into it. According to Liang Mengchao's intention, Miss Jiang must die unexpectedly. As for why, I don't know either. But I have one clue to offer you. Miss Jiang used to work in Liang Mengchao's company. Liang Mengchao pursued Miss Jiang, and then Miss Jiang resigned. I heard from a grapevine that the accidental death of Miss Jiang's fiancé on the wedding day last year was also related to Liang Mengchao. But as for exactly how it was done, I don't know. This is all I know and I've told you everything. Can you let me go?"
Black Three was submissive and seemed a little worried.
"Well, since you've said everything you should, I'll give you a pointer by the way. Pay attention to safety today and it's best to surrender yourself directly."
Jiang Xiaobai said calmly. He didn't want to say the last sentence originally, but seeing that he gave a bit of useful information, he gave him a pointer. If he listened and surrendered himself, his life should be saved. If he wasn't willing, there was nothing he could do. Good and evil have their own rewards. After doing so many evil things, it could be considered his fate. He wasn't omnipotent and wasn't a savior either. As long as it wasn't a last resort, he wouldn't interfere with other people's fates easily. According to the superstitious saying, this involved cause and effect. He wasn't superstitious, but he wouldn't be blindly confident either.
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?"
Black Three was obviously angry. He had already lowered his stance and told Jiang Xiaobai all the relevant information in exchange for his safety. But Jiang Xiaobai's words meant that he still wouldn't let him go. This was a breach of trust. Regarding Jiang Xiaobai's background, on the way back, he also asked his subordinates to investigate roughly. Jiang Xiaobai was a college graduate who hadn't been out of school for long. His family conditions were average. He rented a house in the house of Jiang Hao on Hancheng Commercial Street. He worked in a small company and was fired a few days ago for absenteeism. Besides the powerful skills he showed this morning, there was no other powerful background.
"Relax, it's not me. As for whether you're willing to listen or not, it's up to you. Sometimes life is more important than other things. Take care of yourself. Think about it slowly!"
Jiang Xiaobai hung up the phone, frowned, and thought about the three words Liang Mengchao. To be honest, he was originally an ordinary student who just graduated from school and didn't know about any big shots or underground forces in Dong'an City. It seemed that when he had time in the future, he would have to ask Jiang Xue and Jiang Hao about who this Liang Mengchao was and how he offended him. Even if the pursuit wasn't successful, there was no need to try to harm her again and again.
He put down his phone, opened the book, and continued to read. From the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou to the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms, then to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties... He seemed to be swimming in the river of history. All kinds of historical figures and events emerged in his mind.
More than three hours passed and he finished reading these few books on the table. It should have been time for a meal and his stomach was a little hungry. But when he saw that the money in the personal center increased by several million again, he instantly regained full energy. He picked up his phone, came to the bookshelf, and continued to look for books that weren't included in the book city. Soon, he found several more and returned to the table to continue reading.
People reading near him left in waves, but the only one who remained unchanged was Jiang Xiaobai.
Unconsciously, several more hours passed. Jiang Xiaobai finished the book in his hand. The phone dinged and a notification came. He clicked to open it and it was sent by the Golden House Book City. The content was that the book city was upgraded, rewarding five million in cash. The mall was updated and there were limited-time purchasable items available.
He received the five million and clicked on the mall. Sure enough, he saw a limited-time sale item: Primary Chinese Medicine Skills.
The unit price was eight million. There was a three-minute limited-time discount, the original price after five minutes, and it would disappear automatically after ten minutes.
