Chapter 326 Can't afford to lose
"Do you have any misunderstanding about shamelessness?" Lin Mo looked at him strangely and sneered:
"Isn't it a joke that a thief told me he wasn't so shameless?"
Seeing Zhang Xianzong so angry that he couldn't speak, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
I'll make you mad to death for looking down on women!
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. One stick of incense is the limit. If you can't steal the jade pendant from me, you lose. Do you have any objections to this bet?"
Lin Mo glanced at him, waiting for his agreement.
"Okay!" Zhang Xianzong no longer wanted to talk.
This woman has a very sharp tongue. I can never win an argument with her, so there's no need to waste time on this.
It's only a short time, who are you looking down on?
Zhang Xianzhong could steal whatever he wanted in just a moment.
But he didn't say it.
The woman's confidence made him cautious. He didn't want to ruin the reputation he had built up over many years at this time.
Soon the incense was lit and placed in the incense burner.
Lin Mo stood still, shaking the jade pendant in her hand:
"I've got everything."
After saying that, she put the jade pendant into her sleeve pocket in front of everyone.
At this moment, there was no one around her.
Everyone looked at Lin Mo nervously. She was hiding there and being watched. It was so easy for her to hide. She was afraid that it would be stolen by the other party in the blink of an eye.
A trace of worry flashed across Liu Dongyang's face. "Ping'an, do you think the jade pendant on Madam Xu could be stolen by the other party? Why didn't she hide it better?"
"No!" Xu Pingan shook his head:
"My young mistress never fights a battle without confidence. She dares to do this because she is certain that the other party will not be able to steal the jade pendant."
Liu Dongyang was stunned.
Did Xu Ping'an trust her too much?
But when Liu Dongyang saw that Xu Pinggui and others had the same expression and look as Xu Ping'an, he silently closed his mouth.
It would be best if she could win.
And he also hopes that Mrs. Xu can win.
Lin Mo's side.
After hiding the jade pendant, she looked up at Zhang Xianzong:
"You can do it now, and I'll just stand here."
Zhang Xianzong gave her a hint of sarcasm. This time he didn't say anything. He strode towards Lin Mo with his hand outstretched.
Lin Mo moved her body to the side, avoiding his hand and preventing it from touching her.
Lin Mo challenged, "Did you succeed?"
She was sure his hand hadn't touched her.
But she wasn't sure if she succeeded.
After all, thieves cannot use common sense to make calculations.
"What do you think?" Zhang Xianzong showed a hint of pride on his face.
As soon as he showed this expression, his younger brothers immediately cheered.
"The boss is so powerful, you can tell whether he is good or not just by one move!"
"This woman is ridiculous. She didn't even know our boss had taken the jade pendant away, and she's still gloating over it."
"That's right, it makes me laugh to death. How can there be such a stupid woman!"
…
The cheers of Zhang Xianzong's younger brothers made Lao Wei and others feel uneasy.
Although they didn't see how Zhang Xianzong acted, it was obvious from the performance of his subordinates that Zhang Xianzong had succeeded.
But strangely, they didn't see the other party take action.
Lin Mo shook her head, "No wonder Li Chengguang said you like to show off, he's absolutely right.
They were not even sure whether you had stolen my jade pendant, but they were already cheering for you.
I advise you to tell them to shut up, so they don’t get embarrassed.”
Zhang Xianzong shook his head and sneered:
"I will never come back empty-handed. They know me, so what if they celebrate for me in advance?"
I hid the jade pendant in my sleeve pocket right in front of him. Did you think he was blind and didn't see it?
This is not difficult at all.
The warmth in his hand made Zhang Xianzong squint his eyes with pleasure. He would never return empty-handed when he took action.
"Confidence is a good thing, just don't be arrogant." Lin Mo said lazily.
"Since you've already made your move and are so confident, then take it out."
Zhang Xianzong glanced at her, then stretched out his hand and slowly opened it.
A crystal clear jade pendant appeared in his palm.
Everyone was shocked!
No wonder he is called the King of Thieves.
They didn't even see his hand touch Lin Mo, but he actually stole the jade pendant.
As soon as the jade pendant appeared, the whole place was filled with cheers and sarcasm from Zhang Xianzong's followers.
Even Old Wei felt a chill in his heart, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
It was stolen so easily.
Zhang Xianzong was very proud. He held the string of the jade pendant and let it fall.
"See? Your jade pendant is here!"
Lin Mo sighed. He didn't say anything, but looked at Xiang beside him.
Well, one third burned, not bad.
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted excitedly:
"There's no red string. There's no red string on the jade pendant. And it's not a dragon and phoenix jade pendant. This isn't the one we saw just now."
One person shouted, and the others followed suit:
"It's the real thing, not that piece!"
"I saw it clearly, it's really not the same piece as before."
…
Zhang Xianzong's face changed.
He quickly took back the jade pendant in his hand to check, and sure enough, there was no red line on it, and there was no dragon or phoenix engraved on it.
The next second, the jade pendant was taken away from him.
And the person who took it was Lin Mo.
Lin Mo looked regretful. "I told you not to be so happy so soon. You took my jade pendant by mistake and made everyone happy for nothing. Do you feel bad about that?"
Zhang Xianzong's face turned cold.
This woman did it on purpose.
He glanced at the incense beside him, which was almost half burned.
His face sank and he walked towards Lin Mo again.
Lin Mo dodged again.
At the same time, she threw the jade pendant in her hand towards Liu Dongyang:
"Liu Dongyang, I give you this jade pendant as a gift for your future marriage."
Liu Dongyang, who was standing by, was startled and reached out to take the jade pendant in a panic.
When he got the jade pendant, he could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot of money, and it immediately felt hot in his hand.
"Mrs. Xu, I can't..."
"Okay, my young lady gave it to you, just take it." Xu Pingan glanced at him:
"Have you heard the gift for your future marriage?"
Liu Dongyang smiled bitterly. Get married?
Where is the bride?
And on Lin Mo's side.
Zhang Xianzong stretched out his hand again, but this time what fell into his hand was an ingot of silver.
He threw it to the ground and rushed towards Lin Mo again.
Lin Mo hid.
But every time he rushed, there would be one more thing in his hand, and these things were either silver or some small items, even handkerchiefs were stolen and thrown on the ground.
This time, Lin Mo had to admit that Zhang Xianzong really had some skills, no wonder he was called the Saint of Thieves.
I didn't even see how he made the move, and I didn't feel his hand touching me, but the thing fell into his hands. This kind of person is born to do this kind of thing.
It's a pity that he doesn't know how to behave and is too arrogant.
The people watching the excitement around were holding their breath nervously.
Especially Zhang Xianzong's men, all of them clenched their fists nervously.
It was the first time they saw Zhang Xianzong fail.
Moreover, he tried so many times but still failed to steal the jade pendant.
It's so weird.
Now in their eyes, this Lin Mo is probably also a master of thieves!
Otherwise, Zhang Xianzong would not have been able to steal it.
After all, there was nothing that Zhang Xianzong couldn't steal before this.
But this time, Zhang Xianzong obviously failed.
Zhang Xianzong began to get nervous at this time.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He really didn't expect that there was something he couldn't steal.
The thing was clearly on her. I watched her hide it and was sure she didn't do anything with it.
But no matter how he tried, the jade pendant he stole was not the one he wanted to steal.
After so many times, Zhang Xianzong could no longer hold back.
At this time, the incense was almost burned out.
Zhang Xianzong tried his best.
He used all his strength and made one last move, but this time his face turned pale.
This time, he missed.
At this time, Li Chengguang, who was standing on the city wall, cheered loudly:
"After one stick of incense, Zhang Xianzong fell from the altar. He lost."
Zhang Xianzong was stunned for a moment, then screamed madly:
"Impossible, I would never miss. The jade pendant is definitely not on her. She must have hidden it somewhere else."
"Yes, she hid somewhere else!"
Zhang Xianzong roared with a ferocious look on his face.
Lin Mo's face darkened and he snorted coldly:
“You can’t afford to lose.
You yourself saw me put the jade pendant there, and after that I had no contact with anyone else. People also moved around in this area. Whether I hid it or not, everyone could see it!"
"No, I don't believe it. I won't fail!" Zhang Xianzong shook his head frantically and roared at Lin Mo:
"You said you didn't hide it, so take the jade pendant out of your body."
He can't afford to lose.
Once he loses, according to the previous agreement, he will have nothing.
At this time, Zhang Xianzong's younger brothers also started shouting frantically:
"Yes, take it out!"
“Take it out!”
