Chapter 46: Long'er, don't rob the bank

  Tang Xiaosheng felt that the pressure of life was getting bigger and bigger.

  Long Tianhao did not give up, and continued to use his resources to make it impossible for Tang Xiaosheng to find a job. In the following seven days, Tang Xiaosheng found five jobs through various channels, but unfortunately, he was fired from each one after working for less than a day. It didn't take much thought to know that this was all Long Tianhao's doing.

  Tang Xiaosheng's life has fallen into a predicament, if he can't find a job, he will have no income, and his livelihood will become a big problem. Although he previously received a 5,000 yuan reward for integrity, he can barely get by for a while, but this is not a long-term solution either.

  Xiaolongnu's bank card originally had tens of thousands of yuan, but she found that the money in the card was frozen a few days ago and couldn't be withdrawn. Obviously, this was also done by Long Tianhao.

  Tang Xiaosheng had thought about leaving Jinghua City and finding another city to live in, as Long Tianhao's influence couldn't possibly extend to every city across the country. However, he didn't want to do that for now. Although he couldn't find any roles to play at present, he still had a passion for acting, which was his interest. As Jinghua City Film and Television City was undoubtedly the best place to realize an actor's dream as the largest film and television base in the country, he didn't want to leave this city.

  Although his current living conditions are very poor, Tang Xiaosheng believes that there is no absolute way for heaven to abandon people and that he can find a way to cope. What he is more worried about now is actually Little Dragon Girl.

  If he couldn't find a job and there was no income at home, he worried that Little Dragon Girl would go out and do something illegal to make money. With her skills, whether it's stealing or robbing, it shouldn't be a difficult task. In theory, this is not an impossible choice.

  However, Tang Xiaosheng would definitely not agree with such a method. If Little Dragon Girl really went out to steal and rob because of him, he would be truly guilty. To prevent this from happening, Tang Xiaosheng took the initiative to talk to Little Dragon Girl and told her about these things clearly.

  "Long'er, although you can't find a job now, I believe there will be a way to solve it. No matter what happens, don't take any rash actions." Tang Xiaosheng said with deep concern, gazing at Little Dragon Girl.

  Xiao Long Nu listened with a puzzled expression, her delicate eyebrows curved slightly as she asked softly: "Guo Er, what do you want to say?"

  Tang Xiaosheng did not hide it either, and spoke out the worries in his heart: "Long Er, what I want to say is that no matter what, you must never go rob a bank."

  Xiao Long Nu suddenly realized and replied in a soft voice: "I know that banks have surveillance cameras, I won't go rob a bank."

  "Snatching other things won't work either, in short, robbery is not allowed." Tang Xiaosheng emphasized solemnly.

  Little Dragon Girl nodded: "I won't go rob, don't worry about it."

  "And you can't steal." Tang Xiaosheng added.

  "I understand all this, this is a society governed by law, I won't do anything illegal." Xiaolongnv paused for a moment and then said softly, "Ou'er, don't put too much pressure on yourself either. If you can't find a job, that's okay, it's not the end of the world. Even if we have to beg together, I'm willing."

  When she said this, Tang Xiaosheng's heart warmed up and he secretly thought: Long'er, you are really too kind.

  It's just that such cheesy words were a bit hard for him to say, so he simply gently took her jade-like hand and slowly said: "Long'er, don't worry, I'll definitely be able to find a job."

  "Uh-huh, I believe you."

  Although both of them were full of confidence, reality was not as smooth as they had imagined. As the days went by, for five days afterwards, Tang Xiaosheng looked for work every day but still couldn't find a job, and the money at home was really running out, if this continued, it wouldn't be impossible that they would have to go out and beg.

  Tang Xiaosheng naturally wouldn't let things go like this, so on the seventh day's morning, he went to the film and television city, preparing to find a few friends he knew before to borrow some money. Unfortunately, as soon as these people heard that he wanted to borrow money, they were like mice seeing a cat, finding all sorts of excuses to brush him off.

  Some say they just found a girlfriend and expenses are high, no money to lend; some say their girlfriend is pregnant and needs nourishment, no money to lend; others say their girlfriend has just given birth to a baby and need money to buy milk powder, no money to lend. In short, the reasons are varied, but can be summarized in one sentence: no money to lend.

  Tang Xiaosheng had been running around for the whole morning, but he didn't borrow a single cent. At noon, however, he suddenly received a call from Little Dragon Girl, saying that Guo Xiang was missing.

  According to Xiaolongnu's description, in the morning she still saw Guo Xiang practicing guitar in her own room. However, at noon, just as she was about to call Guo Xiang for lunch, she suddenly found that Guo Xiang was no longer in the room, and her wooden guitar had also disappeared.

  As soon as Tang Xiaosheng heard this, he was also anxious and immediately ran back home. When he arrived home, he found that Detective Lin Shishi had also come. Previously, Guo Xiang's father, Guo Yang, had owed a large sum of money and was being pursued by creditors. The police had received a tip-off that the creditor might kidnap Guo Xiang to force Guo Yang to show up. Now that Guo Xiang had gone missing, it was natural to suspect that the creditor was behind it.

  Afterwards, Lin Shishi hastily returned to the police station. The police set up an emergency search team and began searching for Guo Xiang's whereabouts throughout the city. Unfortunately, there was no news of Guo Xiang at all.

  Until after three o'clock in the afternoon, just as Tang Xiaosheng and Little Dragon Girl were searching around Jiayuan Community, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar man. As soon as the phone was connected, the other party said a sentence that left a deep impression: "Tang Xiaosheng, Guo Yixiang is in my hands."

  "Who are you?" Tang Xiaosheng asked hastily.

  "Never mind who I am, if you want to see Guo Yixiang, come alone to Nanfeng Mountain in Fu'an District before 6 pm. If you're late, be prepared to collect Guo Yixiang's body." The stranger said in a low voice.

  Having heard this, Tang Xiaosheng basically confirmed that Guo Yixiang was kidnapped. Looking at the time, it was almost four o'clock. He said: "Okay, I'll go there immediately. Whatever your requirements are, just say them, but please don't harm Guo Yixiang."

  "Remember, you are only allowed to come alone. If a second person is found or if you alert the police, you will be held responsible for the consequences."

  "Don't worry, I'll definitely go alone and absolutely won't call the police."

  "Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

  "Is there any news about Yang Guo?" Little Dragon Girl asked anxiously.

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "Long Er, Xiang Er seems to have been kidnapped. The kidnapper wants me to go alone to Nanfeng Mountain."

  Little Dragon Girl knew this trip would have some danger, so she said: "I'll go with you."

  If Little Dragon Maiden were to accompany him, he believed that even if there were tigers on the southern mountain, they could be easily dealt with. However, the kidnapper had requested that only Tang Xiaosheng go alone, so in order to ensure Guo Xiang's personal safety, he could only comply.

  Although Xiaolongnv's lightness skill was excellent, she had no idea where the kidnappers were hiding and how many groups there were. Nanfeng Mountain was so vast that if Xiaolongnv continued to follow secretly, it would be troublesome if the kidnappers used binoculars or other long-range surveillance equipment to discover her.

  After all, the kidnapper was in the dark, while Tang Xiaosheng was in the light. Even if Little Dragon Maiden was extremely careful, it would be difficult for her not to be discovered.

  Besides, in broad daylight, if Little Dragon Maiden uses her lightness skill, it's too easy to expose her identity.

  Considering these factors, Tang Xiaosheng had no choice but to go alone. He said, "Long Er, don't worry, I can handle it myself. Besides, the kidnapper only allows me to go alone, if you come with me, Xiang Er will be in even greater danger."

  After listening to the explanation, Little Dragon Girl basically understood the situation and took out a white jade bee bottle from her bosom, handed it over and said: "Xiao'er, you carry this bottle with you. If you encounter any danger, just catalyze the jade bee paste, and you can summon the jade bees."

  After Little Dragon Girl's training, a tacit understanding has been formed between Jade Bee and Jade Bee Bottle. Wherever the Jade Bee Bottle is taken, the Jade Bee will follow, flying within a hundred meters of the Jade Bee Bottle. As long as Tang Xiaosheng carries the Jade Bee Bottle with him, when he goes to Nanfeng Mountain, the Jade Bee will also fly there.

  Having understood this wonderful place, Tang Xiaosheng naturally didn't hesitate to pick up the jade bee bottle and said: "Long Er, time is running out, I'll rush to Nanfeng Mountain immediately."

  "Be careful on your way."
