[If that's the case, then you're truly unlucky, being targeted by an ungrateful person and taken advantage of.]
Liu Bing hesitated for a moment and said, "He asked me to borrow money a month ago because his wife didn't have the money to go to a confinement center after giving birth. He wanted his wife to have a good confinement, so he wanted to borrow 50,000 yuan from me."
Liu Bing was too embarrassed to say this out loud; the moment he did, he felt like an idiot...
As expected, netizens have started laughing.
[I'm exhausted from complaining. You've truly raised a wonderful son. You're responsible for everything from marrying him, having children, and buying him a house. It's unacceptable that you're not his biological father!]
【Tell me if you borrowed it, tell me now!】
[If you borrow it, don't blame your brothers and sisters for laughing at you and calling you a fool! ]
[This is incredible. Rich man, do you still need friends? The kind that borrows money from you from time to time and never pays it back.]
[What the hell, what kind of man is this? He wants to send his wife to a confinement center when he has no money for confinement. What kind of confinement center costs 50,000 yuan? He's trying to borrow your money to support his wife and child.]
"I didn't lend it, I didn't lend it, I swear!" Liu Bing started to swear anxiously. It was obvious that he didn't want everyone to really think that he was an idiot.
Jiang Tang then continued, "It's because you didn't lend it this time that he wants to kill you."
"Him?!" Liu Bing was furious. "I haven't even asked him for the 300,000 yuan he borrowed from me yet. How dare he hold such a grudge against me?!"
"Because he saw that you would not lend him money again and wanted to ask you to pay it back, that's why he did this." Jiang Tang's indifferent voice almost made Liu Bing unable to control himself and rush out to cause trouble for that friend.
"He was the one who asked you out this time, and he was the one who found the place we were going to. He was also the one who took you to the old man's empty house, right?"
Liu Bing felt cold all over, Jiang Tang was right.
"yes……"
"I didn't lend him the money that time. I could feel that he was very angry and disappointed, but I couldn't see any hope of him paying me back. I really didn't dare lend him the money again. I was afraid that he would keep sucking my blood from me in the future."
"We parted on bad terms that day and didn't contact each other for a long time. Until a few days ago, he said he had some free time and wanted to invite me to go out with him for a couple of days to relax."
"I really treated him as a friend. Of course, he still had over 300,000 yuan of my money. It was neither moral nor logical for me to refuse, so I agreed to go."
"He did choose the place, and he was the first one to find the old man's house and take me there."
Liu Bing said disappointedly: "Now that I think about it, the reason why our tent was lost was because of him. His original goal should have been to take me to the old man's house."
"Did he already know about the old man's existence? Did he bring me there to steal things just so that the old man could scare me to death?"
Liu Bing really felt the cold wind blowing towards him.
Thinking about it carefully, this matter was even more terrifying than scaring him by the old man.
The old man also looked at Liu Bing and then at Jiang Tang: "Old man, I have nothing to do with that guy. I don't know how he knew that my family knew me."
"Grandpa, this matter is actually related to your grandson." Jiang Tang's words stunned the old man.
"It's related to my grandson?!"
Jiang Tang said calmly, "Your grandson is a colleague of Liu Bing's friend Lu Jiaqi. He must have boasted to his colleagues that he had seen your dead grandfather."
The old man's eyes widened in disbelief: "He did see me, but that was ten years ago. He was only twelve years old then. How could he still remember it..."
"Because he's a child, he remembers it so clearly and believes what he saw. It seems your grandson has been bragging about seeing ghosts quite a bit."
My scalp tingled, and I suddenly remembered that I had seen my deceased grandmother when I was a child. So I wasn't just dazzled or dreaming, I really saw her?!
Liu Bing looked confused. Could this matter be related to the old man?
"Your grandson has always remembered this and has been bragging about it to everyone. When he told others about it before, they just laughed it off. But for Lu Jiaqi, who didn't borrow the money and didn't want to pay it back, and wanted Liu Bing dead, this was an opportunity."
Jiang Tang told these stories as if he were the person involved.
"Lu Jiaqi found an opportunity to invite your grandson for a drink. He got your hometown address out of him while he was drunk, and he also learned that your most treasured possession was the stone knife in front of your memorial tablet."
"The reason your grandson saw you that year was because he took your stone knife and played with it, right?"
The old man was completely convinced by Jiang Tang at this point. He nodded and said, "Yes, if he hadn't wanted to skip my stone knife, I wouldn't have shown up. I didn't expect it would lead to such a disaster."
"So when Lu Jiaqi learned of your existence, he planned this trip with Liu Bing."
"He took Liu Bing to the mountain where your hometown is, deliberately lost his tent, and brought Liu Bin to your home. He put your stone knife in Liu Bing's bag while you were out and sleeping with him."
"He just wants your appearance to scare Liu Bing to death or drive him insane, so that he doesn't have to pay Liu Bing back, and maybe he can get some money from Liu Bing again."
"What Lu Jiaqi didn't expect was that you, old man, are not an evil ghost and you don't kill people. The reason you scared Liu Bing was just to teach him a lesson."
At this point, the whole story is clear.
Liu Bing was speechless. He really didn't expect Lu Jiaqi to be so cruel and vicious.
Master Jiang and netizens are right. I am just a big fool. I was sold by others and still counted money for them.
The old man felt a little sorry for the silent Liu Bing, so he walked up to Liu Bing.
"Young man, my grandson and I are the ones who wronged you. To make amends for our mistake, how about you take me to find that Lu Jiaqi? I'll help you get your money back."
"You, old man?" Liu Bing stood up and looked at the old man in surprise and confusion, but Liu Bing already used a respectful title when addressing him.
"Consider it my apology for scaring you. I've never done anything bad in my life, old man. I never thought I'd almost done something irreparable. I'm truly ashamed."
"Listen to my advice. Your friend is not a good person. You can't get your money back by yourself. But it will be different if you take me with you. I can help you get the money back."
"When I get the money back, can you please take me to find my grandson and then send me back home?"
Liu Bing looked at the amiable old man who was always thinking about him and suddenly felt like crying.
He has been friends for more than ten years, but he is not as nice to himself as a ghost he just met for the first time. He is such a failure as a human being.
"Liu Bing, take the old man with you. If you don't let him go, he will be upset about this matter for the rest of his life and will find it difficult to forgive himself." Jiang Tang suggested.
