The wealthy man was not a native of Baishou City; he had fled northward to escape the ravages of war. Possessing some family wealth, he bought a house and settled in after arriving in the city.
Although he had heard that the people of Baishou City were all good, he couldn't shake off the anxiety in his heart. The money he had on him was a substantial sum, and keeping it hidden always felt risky to him—it could get lost.
