63 -62 Money
Yang Yi was truly getting annoyed now; ever since entering prison, it seemed like nothing had gone smoothly.
“Why?
Why won’t you guys enable this service, buddy—there’s a lot of illegal immigrants in here!”
Buddy too appeared helpless and said, “The guy who managed to smuggle this phone and card in didn’t set up the service.
What can I do?
You need to enable a service to make international calls, or else the call charges are incredibly expensive.
And there’s not much prepaid credit on this phone number; you simply can’t make calls.
There are special international calling cards for making international calls.
Who would use a normal card, huh?
Too expensive!”
Yang Yi patted his forehead with his hand and said with a troubled expression, “This is trouble, real trouble, fuck, let me think.”
Buddy, looking a bit sullen, said, “Give the phone back.
It’s really annoying.
You should’ve said you wanted to make international calls earlier.
Maybe I’ll enable the service in the future, and I’ll let you know when I do.”
When Danny had kicked Yang Yi into prison, he hadn’t left him with anything, and right now Yang Yi desperately needed money, desperately needed it for his plans to proceed.
Most crucially, it was only with money that he could have a bit more comfort and not suffer too much.
“Wait a moment!
Let me think, okay, I’ll still make a call.”
Yang Yi didn’t want to wait any longer; he picked up the phone and started dialing. freeweɓnøvel.com
He covered the phone in the palm of his hand and held it to his ear, then he began to pray.
“Please pick up, please, pick up the phone…”
The phone actually connected, and Yang Yi was overjoyed.
Then, he immediately said, “Hello, is this Xiao Ran?”
Yang Yi spoke in English, and after a moment of hesitation, the person on the other end quickly said, “This is Xiao Ran, who is this?”
Not being able to say his name felt really awful.
Yang Yi turned to look at Buddy and whispered, “Buddy, can I get some privacy here?”
Buddy shrugged and said, “Make it quick, don’t talk too long.”
“Who are you?”
Xiao Ran urged from the other end of the line, and Yang Yi whispered, “Remember me?
The cab driver who took you to the airport.”
Xiao Ran immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Yang Yi?
You’re in the United States?
You made it to the U.S.?”
In a soft voice, Yang Yi said, “Yes, I’m in America, um, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with, this…”
Asking someone for money is a very painful experience, and asking a beautiful woman for money is even more painful.
It was excruciating because of pride; although strictly speaking, Xiao Ran still owed Yang Yi for the cab fare, the problem was that Yang Yi had said he didn’t want the money.
So, Yang Yi felt like he was borrowing money.
“What help do you need, tell me!”
When faced with a survival crisis, pride had to be set aside.
Yang Yi whispered, “Could you lend me some money, a thousand dollars?
A thousand would be enough, I’ll pay you back later.”
“Lend money?
No need, I still owe you for the cab fare.
I tried to call you, but your number was out of service later.
How should I pay you?
Deposit it in your bank account?
Never mind, tell me where you are.”
Yang Yi didn’t want to tell Xiao Ran where he was, but after some thought, he realized that if he wanted to receive money, he had no choice but to let Xiao Ran deposit it onto his inmate ID card; there was no hiding it.
Yang Yi hesitated and said, “I’m in California’s Pelican Bay Prison, and as for why I’m in jail, can you not ask?
Let’s talk about it when I get out, okay?”
Xiao Ran was extremely surprised as she exclaimed, “Pelican Bay Prison!
Damn!
How did you end up in prison?
How long has it been that you’ve been locked up in a US jail?
What’s going on!
Damn, have you been sentenced?
Is there some mistake?
Are you sure you’re in Pelican Bay Prison?
When did you arrive, what did you do, have you found a lawyer?
I can help you find a good lawyer, do you need one now?
How have you been convicted and imprisoned so quickly?
What exactly is going on!”
Xiao Ran bombarded him with questions, leaving Yang Yi struggling to cope, so he quickly said, “I can’t talk much about it here, just, can you lend me a thousand US dollars to get through this tough time?”
“Lend what lend!
This is what I owe you, how much do you need?
A thousand definitely won’t be enough, right?
How about I give you ten thousand US dollars first?”
Rich girl, Yang Yi cried out in his mind, but thinking back on his encounters with Xiao Ran, her actions fit that of a rich girl.
“No need for that much, a thousand will do, if it’s not enough, I’ll tell you later.
I’ll read you my ID number, you can just deposit the money into this account.
Um, I don’t know exactly how it works, you’ll have to ask around for that inconvenience.”
“I’m going to visit you; just wait for me.
We can talk about everything face-to-face, and I’ll bring a lawyer!”
Yang Yi was startled, so much that he began to regret asking Xiao Ran for help because he hadn’t anticipated she would be so loyal.
“No, no, don’t, please don’t come to visit me, I have lots of things that I can’t talk about here, just do as I told you, please, don’t visit me, otherwise, otherwise, my troubles will really get… much bigger…”
Xiao Ran fell silent for a moment, then she whispered softly, “Alright, I don’t know what kind of trouble you’ve got yourself into, so secretive, so for now, I’ll send you the money.
Are you sure you don’t need a lawyer?”
“No need, no need, write down my ID number.”
Yang Yi quickly gave Xiao Ran his inmate number and hung up the phone in a hurry.
“Alright, buddy, four minutes and twenty seconds, fifty US dollars; I’ll give you a hundred when my money arrives.”
Buddy took back the phone, checked the time, and nodded, “You owe me a hundred US dollars, when will you pay me?”
“I don’t know, it depends on when the money gets here, it won’t take too long.”
“Ten US dollars more for each day overdue, now you have money, right?
So, do you need to buy anything else?
I have everything you could need.”
Buddy seemed very eager because finding someone with money in prison wasn’t easy, and now, he had Yang Yi right in front of him, someone with money.
Yang Yi lowered his voice and asked, “Can you get weapons?”
“Weapons?
I can get them, but I absolutely will not sell weapons, mate.
That’s how I survive, so forget about it.
I know what you’re worried about, but offending the Boxing King isn’t something you can solve with a knife.
I can introduce you to join other gangs, then you’ll have people to protect you, you…”
Yang Yi had no intention of joining any gangs.
He whispered, “I won’t join any gangs.
Besides that, is there any other way to solve my problem?”
Buddy suddenly slapped his forehead and grimaced, “Fuck!
I overlooked a very serious issue, fuck!
Fuck!
The Boxing King wants to off you, and I gave you credit, oh, I even forgot that, damn it!”
Yang Yi immediately said, “Then think of a way to make sure you get my money, buddy.
Give me some advice, and I’ll give you a hundred US dollars.”
Buddy sighed deeply, looking helpless, and said, “Join a gang, or take out the Boxing King and all his men.
Buddy, the Boxing King is very persistent.
Other than these two options, you don’t have a choice.”
