He thought for a while and replied, “Yup!”
“Okay, we’ll be there in a minute,” said the fireman on the phone.
The firemen came in just a couple of minutes and sprayed the water at the Green Gang, thinking they were
deadly fire. The gangsters fled in all directions because of the freezing water. At last, Ruan Lingyu was saved.
The Green Gang planned to assassinate the mayor of Shanghai in order to show the public how powerful
they were. Ruan Lingyu eavesdropped on the conversation of the gangsters and learnt about the secret plan. She
risked her life to inform the police about the plan. It was a success. The mayor thanked Raymond for helping
Ruan Lingyu by giving him a considerable sum of money for a better life.
Raymond was delighted and spent the money wisely. He bought some paint and brushes to give an
attractive look to his rickshaw. Every morning, he could spend money on very delicious dumplings instead of
plain buns. He was liked by every passenger he served and lived modestly ever after.
