Chapter 57: Is this treating Bai like poultry?
"Hey, you Chinese kid, fine, you won't agree to my protection, but how is marrying me a bad thing for you?"
Anna reluctantly moved closer, staring intently at Bai Chen's face.
"Miss Anna, it's easy to tell from your words that you come from an aristocratic family. A family like yours shouldn't be arranging marriages; you wouldn't just marry anyone, would you?"
Bai Chen did not answer the other party's question, but instead asked curiously.
"Hmph, those sons of bitches look down on my mother. I despise them too, they're all scum."
Anna rolled her eyes.
Upon hearing this...
Bai Chen suddenly realized that this was clearly another ridiculous bloodline-based hierarchy of contempt.
Judging from the girl's skin color, it's easy to tell that she's of mixed Caucasian and Latino descent, which explains why she would say such a thing.
"You really don't want to marry me?" Anna asked again.
"I had a failed marriage and I've sworn to God... well, you can think of it as swearing to God that I will never get married again in this lifetime."
Bai Chen explained with a serious expression.
Of course, the so-called failed marriage was just an excuse. In fact, he had too many secrets, which destined him to be alone for the rest of his life.
"Oh my god, you actually made such a terrible oath."
Anna covered her mouth, somewhat shocked.
It took her a while to recover. She gritted her teeth and spoke again:
"Bai, I can apply for Planck's Purple Gold Card for you, but you have to agree to one condition, which you know requires three hundred thousand US dollars."
"What are the conditions?"
Bai Chen was a little curious. He knew about the Purple Gold Card. It was a scheme devised by Planck after he came to power to buy a status for the sake of the country's economy.
At first, they even offered a sky-high price of five million US dollars, but unfortunately no one was willing to pay. So the price kept getting lower and lower, and now it has dropped to three hundred thousand US dollars.
What intrigued him even more was that this foreign woman, having only been with him once, was willing to pay such a price.
What kind of conditions will they offer?
"My condition is that you have to spend time with me at least one hundred... no, two hundred times."
Anna licked her lips, her cheeks turning slightly red.
Even though women in the United States are very open-minded, she still felt ashamed to talk about such things directly.
"Two hundred times...three hundred thousand...that works out to one thousand five hundred each time, which is more than ten thousand yuan in China."
Bai Chen was dumbfounded. He never imagined that he was so awesome that he could be worth tens of thousands of yuan in one go.
Holy crap, wait, is this girl treating me like poultry?
"NONONO, your condition is too much. It makes me sound like I'm some kind of... well..."
Bai Chen quickly waved his hand in refusal.
However, after thinking about it, he added, "Playing is fine, but don't mention money. It's all consensual."
Anna was initially utterly disappointed after hearing the first part of the story, but when she heard the following sentence, "You can play, but you can't mention money," she immediately became excited.
"Oh baby, you're amazing, I've realized I'm really in love with you."
Anna walked over and gave him a quick kiss.
"Go away, you just smoked, your mouth still smells of smoke. Brush your teeth before doing this next time."
Bai Chen pushed the other person away with some disgust.
In fact, the kind of scene in novels where they kiss after smoking and then say it smells good is all nonsense.
Whether you're a man or a woman, after smoking, your breath will only taste like the ashtray, not any fragrance.
"Hehehe, you're quite particular." Anna didn't take it to heart and instead covered her mouth and laughed.
Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "You just said you could come up with three hundred thousand dollars?"
Anna found it hard to believe. If he could come up with so much money, why would he be arrested, especially as an illegal immigrant?
"Yes, we can take it out after we go out in a few days."
Bai Chen nodded.
Because he was in such a hurry, he left those hundreds of thousands of yuan in his rented room, not knowing if they would be stolen.
But even if it gets stolen, it's okay, we can just get some more from the Martial Refinement Continent.
The silver notes that Xuanqing Daoist earned from selling steel still amount to more than 40,000 taels, which can be exchanged for cash in the city at any time.
"I believe you, Bai."
Anna said softly, "Just stay in prison and don't cause any trouble. I'll apply for a gold card for you in a bit, and I can cover the expenses for you first."
"If you have money, pay me back. If you don't, spend more time with me, okay?"
Although the meaning was the same as before, it was said in a more tactful way.
Bai Chen did not resist and nodded in agreement.
We chatted for a while.
I guess I've had enough rest.
As Anna looked at Bai Chen's face and the strong masculine hormones emanating from him, a certain feeling welled up in her heart again.
"Bai, are you... alright?"
"Will it work? Heh, you'll be begging for mercy in no time!"
Bai Chen scoffed and immediately assumed a fighting stance, determined to teach this foreign woman who looked down on him a lesson.
...
The world of martial arts is ever-changing, with its tides rising and falling.
Two more hours later.
"Bai, you can go back now. I need to rest for a bit. Remember to close the door."
Anna lay on the sofa, her voice weak and unsteady. She had barely managed to tidy up her clothes, and now she didn't want to move a single finger.
"Um."
Bai Chen was still in good spirits; his martial arts skills were not for nothing.
To be honest, it means his pulmonary fibrosis hasn't been resolved yet.
Otherwise, even if there are five more... uh... two more, two more Annas, we can still handle them just the same.
Bang~
Close the door to the infirmary.
Before leaving, Bai Chen twisted the doorknob to make sure it couldn't be opened from the outside before he left with peace of mind.
According to regulations, after being investigated, you will have a day of free time, during which you can freely move between your dormitory, recreation room, and the courtyard.
Bai Chen visited all these places.
It wasn't that he was bored and genuinely wanted to move around freely, but rather that he wanted to memorize the terrain of these places.
Memorize the prison's map; it will make escaping easier later.
After he finished shopping, he planned to go back to his dormitory.
.....
Back in the dorm.
"Mr. Bai, are you alright?"
Bai Chen had just returned to his cell in prison cell number 308 when Bao Guowei came up to greet him.
"Huh? You got hit?"
Looking at him, one could see a clear handprint on Bao Guowei's face, and bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. When he came over to greet him earlier, he was limping.
"Oh dear, once you're in the interrogation room, you're bound to get a beating."
Bao Guowei waved his hand dismissively, then, as if remembering something, he straightened his chest.
"But Mr. Bai, I absolutely did not betray you. That prison guard almost broke my legs, but I didn't utter a single word."
These words were indeed true, because offending the prison guards might at most result in being punished, but betraying Master Bai could lead to death.
In fact, not only Bao Guowei, but all the prisoners in this batch, none of them dared to betray Bai Chen, no matter how the prison guards threatened or bribed them.
"I'm going to practice now, so don't disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Bai Chen gave an instruction, then went to his bunk bed, sat cross-legged, and began practicing meditation.
In martial arts, one either progresses or regresses; one must never relax.
