Chapter 655: Chapter 480, 98 Points of Goodwill_1

[Day 125, Doctor Chen Ming was sold for 3000 gold.]
[…]
The old account book, tossed atop a box.
The soldiers scavenging could not decipher the Chinese characters and ignored it.
It was only when Fang Hao rummaged through that he discovered this account book.
It was certain that the account book was recorded by Li Zhenhu.
Unexpectedly, this fellow was meticulous, keeping accounts in Chinese.
Unreadable to others, he knew clearly how much money was in the stronghold.
The number of slaves sold had exceeded a thousand, and there were more than twenty transmigrants whose names and occupations were recorded.
From the record, it can be seen that even ordinary transmigrants were not cheap.
Those with special Skills, such as Doctor Chen Ming, had a price directly reaching 3000.
Considering the price for slaves, it was simply astronomical.
Li Zhenhu had indeed found a lucrative path.
He closed the account book and stored it in the Demon space.
Perhaps it would come in handy in the future.
…
The sky grew increasingly dark.
Outside the window, the sound of insects echoed.
As he lay in bed, he opened the Book of Lords and watched everyone chatting on the channel.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door.
He thought it was Anjia returning, but instead, he heard a soldier’s voice.
“Sir, the woman with the baby has awakened and asks to see you.”
“Hmm? Okay, call Anjia back, I’ll be right there.” Fang Hao replied.
Soon, Anjia returned with Lorrey.
Fang Hao, escorted by the soldiers and accompanied by the two, arrived at the room where the woman was resting.
Upon opening the door,
They saw a woman, leaning against the wall, comforting her child.
On a table nearby, an empty bowl was placed.
The meat porridge inside had been completely consumed.
Upon seeing Fang Hao and the others enter, the woman, her face still pale, managed a grateful smile.
“Fang Hao, thank you.”
When she was not fully conscious, Fang Hao had introduced himself.
Moreover, he revealed his identity to the women he freed.
He did not restrict their freedom; when he presumably saw her earlier, he must have also told her his identity.
“I don’t even know your name yet?” Fang Hao smiled, as he and Anjia took a seat.
The woman was obviously beautiful.
If not for her past trials, she would be considered a beauty in ordinary times.
“Oh, I’m He Yueyi.”
“What’s the story with this child, where is his father?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
It had been almost five months since the time of transmigration began.
This meant that He Yueyi was pregnant when she was transported here.
Her survival till now was not without challenges.
“I don’t know, he might be alive, he might be dead, who knows!” He Yueyi’s tone was somewhat indifferent.
Perhaps, after five months had passed, she had come to terms with it.
“By the way, how did you end up here?” Fang Hao continued to inquire.
“Bah! Li Zhenhu, the damned, I took my people to his Alliance. Once we arrived, he immediately separated and imprisoned us.”
At this point, He Yueyi gritted her teeth.
It was clear to see that He Yueyi was a refined woman, despite the rage burning in her eyes.
She only cursed that Li Zhenhu deserved to be hacked to death.
Unlike Lan Yang, who would curse up and down the offender’s family at the drop of a hat.
Perhaps it was the mother’s anger that upset the tranquility of the baby, who usually did not cry or fuss. The baby promptly began to wail.
He Yueyi immediately sought to calm him.
Without any hesitation, she drew aside her shoulder cloak and began to nurse the child.
“Li Zhenhu has run off, but rest assured, I will see him brought to justice.”
He Yueyi cradled her baby, looking gratefully at Fang Hao, “Thank you, Lord Fang Hao.”
“Well, I’m planning to hand this place over to Lan Yang. She’s originally a nearby transmigrant. You can stay here, her personality is a bit wild, but she is dependable.” Fang Hao introduced the situation here.
“Is it a girl riding a lion?”
Fang Hao was taken aback, “You know her?”
“I don’t, but the bandits who guarded the gate often mentioned a girl riding a lion who always caused trouble and disruptions.” He Yueyi replied with a smile.
“That’s her.”
“Oh, she does seem reliable indeed. Had I been as brave as her back then, I wouldn’t be in this situation today.” He Yueyi softly caressed her child.
“Let the past remain in the past. You need to live well in the future, for yourself and your child.” Fang Hao continued to console her.
“Yes, you’re right.” He Yueyi looked down at her child in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness.
Perhaps it was her child that kept her going during her time in the dungeon.
The world was cruel, and everyone needed something to cling to.
The room fell silent for a while.
Fang Hao was unsure of what to say, so he decided to leave.
“Alright, you haven’t fully recovered yet, rest early.”
As he was about to rise,
He Yueyi began speaking again, “Lord Fang Hao.”
“Hmm? Is there anything else?”
He Yueyi hesitated, looked at her child, and her eyes lit up with determination.
She immediately said: “Lord Fang Hao, can I follow you? I am a senior accountant, your territory must need me. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
A senior accountant!
This should also be considered a special profession.
No wonder that even in her condition, Li Zhenhu discarded her.
If she could survive, she would fetch a reasonable price.
