Chapter 37 Artificial luck only brings misfortune to another person "...
"Why did you suddenly come to play with me?" After going down the stairs, Liu Shu walked towards Tim. She thought she would not see him in class for a few days.
"I should have told you this earlier, but I just happened to be passing by today," he said, pulling out a bag of oranges from behind him. "I just bought them from the supermarket. Here they are."
"Thank you." Although she didn't know why she got a bag of oranges, Liu Shu didn't think it was wrong to accept it, so she reached out to take it.
Tim glanced at the street. "I want to walk around here. If that's inconvenient for you, go home. I can handle it on my own."
Facing the person who said such words, Liu Shu turned around and asked, "How long do you want to be gone?"
"Wait, I'll get it for you," Tim said casually. He quickly walked over to her side and said, "I've left all my work to Bruce today. You can come here and see Gotham's number one gang."
"Gotham's number one what?" She must have heard it right.
"You're curious too, right?" Tim took the item from her again. "I heard someone from the Red Hood gang here is doing charity work, and I want to see what's going on."
"Okay, I'll go with you." I just want to know why the Red Hood Gang is doing charity.
"Very good."
Tim's smile brightened. He had just bought up all the supermarkets nearby. They were all small supermarkets that didn't make much money, and his main purpose was to do other things.
"Actually, I haven't been there either. Why did you think of looking for me?" Liu Shu opened the door with her key. She watched Tim walk in and put his things away as if he was familiar with the place.
"Since I'm here."
She still felt strange. "What then? Which direction should we go?"
"there."
Tim pointed in the direction Ryushu had walked yesterday.
If Tim walked over like this, would he be arrested? Liu Shu was actually a little worried.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you think this is dangerous?" What kind of plan would make someone who is very expensive to tie up run to such a place.
Ryushu wondered what Sherlock had said to him.
Tim pulled his sunglasses and mask out of his pocket, "That'll do it."
"Like a thief." This kind of dress can blend well into the crowd. Liu Shu looked at his clothes thoughtfully.
No wonder he was dressed so low-key today, in black and gray, with the hood of his coat on, he looked like a local from Crime Alley.
"It makes me sad when you say that." Tim pulled down his sunglasses.
Seeing his blue eyes, Ryushu realized that they were a little close.
When they walked together in Wayne Manor using the puppet, she didn't care so much because of the height difference.
"Sorry..." She lowered her eyes. She always knew he was handsome.
"It's okay, I forgive you."
Tim didn't seem to notice anything was wrong, and it would have been better if he hadn't taken a small step back.
"Let's go." He pulled his mask and put on his sunglasses again.
"..." Liu Shu took two steps forward. "The gift you gave me is so strange. Who would bring oranges to a classmate's house?"
"You don't like it? Then next time I'll..." Tim wasn't sure how he understood her.
"Didn't you say you would bring me cookies? Cake is fine too." But I think I just ate it yesterday. The cake at Red Hood's house is also very delicious. Liu Shu likes the non-sweet taste very much.
"I thought you didn't like cookies."
"Actually, I don't like donuts that much." She finally got the chance to say it. Liu Shu thought she would have to be given more donuts before she would say it.
"Eh? What do you like? Boiled chicken? Maoxuewang?" Tim still remembered that she was unhappy last time, and her mood obviously improved after she accepted the donuts he gave her.
Now, it's gone from a dessert to a dish. Liu Shu faced him with an indescribable expression, "It's all okay, right? Why compare donuts to a dish?"
"Because you brought boiled chicken to school before, and you wrote Maoxuewang on the car window."
It sounded so abstract, and Liu Shu didn't want to admit that he actually did it.
"I'm so sorry for giving you that impression." Who says life doesn't have so many viewers? Isn't there someone who remembers this?
"How about lemon tart?"
It sounded sour, "Is it delicious?"
"I think you'll like it." Tim tried hard to guess her taste.
"Then I want to eat."
"In a few days? Ah, tonight is fine too. I almost forgot I don't have work today."
"I want to go buy something." Liu Shu stopped in front of the supermarket.
This store is now Wayne's, Tim nodded, he just bought the oranges here.
"If I want to buy rice, I have to run a long way." Liu Shu squatted in front of various canned foods and was now choosing a tomato one.
Last time she found that the tomatoes here had no tomato flavor at all. If she wanted that rich sweet and sour taste, she needed a can of tomato sauce.
"This one." Tim didn't know what to say, so he helped Liu Shu point out a model he had seen at home.
"You still know how to choose this?" The young master who looked like he had never done any housework was actually giving her advice.
"The housekeeper used this, although it was rarely used, but it's in the kitchen."
"Can't you buy tomatoes that taste like tomatoes at home?" Liu Shu took the can of ketchup.
"What tomato flavor... tomato?"
Seeing Tim's bewildered look, Liu Shu couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know how to cook."
“I can make coffee…”
"Is it food that you said you would?"
"Almost. It's as important as food in my life." Tim's firm expression successfully led Liu Shu to instant coffee.
"Wait." Tim stopped her hand from reaching for the coffee grounds.
"This one tastes terrible, choose this one."
Liu Shu turned the coffee Tim had given her over and looked at its expiration date. "I thought this kind of coffee would be more expensive."
“Sometimes expensive things don’t necessarily taste good.”
"I understand." When buying these things, you don't need to choose as long as you know the brand. Liu Shu instructed Tim to push the shopping cart to the fruit and vegetable area.
A man in a brown coat stood in a familiar position.
That was a familiar person.
It’s quite strange that Liu Shu met Jason again at the tomato place.
"Good afternoon." Jason greeted her.
This surprised Tim, who was standing by. He checked the mask and sunglasses on his face to make sure he was covered tightly.
"Do you still have time to buy vegetables?" Liu Shu took the tomatoes without changing his expression.
"Haha," he didn't have much money, but he had some free time. He finished most of the documents on the table in one night. Now it was time for a break. "Who is he?" Jason looked at Tim. Why did this man look even less like a good person than him?
Jason bought a bunch of weapons again because he had defeated Gotham and only had one enemy left, so he couldn't steal from others. Now if he wanted to get a large amount of weapons, he had to go to the police or intercept Penguin's shipment. Buying was always more expensive than stealing, and the resources he got from the old man yesterday were not enough.
"My classmate." Ryushu looked up at his face, wondering if the man recognized Tim.
"Are junior high school students this tall nowadays?"
Liu Shu frowned. What had she heard? Did she not look like a high school student, or did she look too much like a junior high school student?
"I'm in high school."
"Impossible." Jason smiled and turned away.
“!”
Tim held back Ryushu who was about to rush forward.
"His eyesight is not good, don't bother with him."
Liu Shu was no longer angry in an instant. Fortunately, Jason had longer legs and walked faster, otherwise Tim would have been beaten.
"That's enough, let's go check out."
Just then, Tim nodded and wanted to follow the man to continue taking a look.
After learning the identity of the Red Hood, he found out what he looked like from the surveillance footage in Crime Alley.
It's hard to tell from his childhood on that face, but that's exactly what Jason would look like when he grows up.
"Congratulations, sir, you can enter a prize." The cashier took the receipt, found an exquisite lottery ticket from the drawer, and handed it to him together.
"Huh?" Jason didn't quite understand. He thought it was some small activity.
Liu Shu always felt that something seemed strange, and she looked towards them.
Jason scratched it off with a coin.
"Oh my God!" The cashier pressed the phone next to him in surprise.
"?" Liu Shu walked to the side. There were three gold coin-shaped symbols on the lottery ticket on the table.
Soon, someone came running over, who looked like a manager or store manager.
"What prize?" Jason was holding the tomatoes and cereal he had bought. He actually wanted to leave.
"Ten million."
"Huh?" He picked up the ticket, trying to find something different on it.
"You're so lucky, this is the first time anyone has ever won this!"
How much? Although Liu Shu was not short of money, she just had no idea about the zeros in her account, not the tens of millions that others talked about.
What happened next seemed to happen in an accelerated manner. The organizer of the lottery handed Jason a check for ten million US dollars as if he had thrown away a hot potato.
Still 10 million after tax.
That’s great, he can buy weapons to fight Penguin again. These are enough, even more.
"Tsk." Jason looked at the front and back of the check. To be honest, he couldn't figure out who did it. Was it really a coincidence? If it was his enemy, why would they give him money?
"You..." Liu Shu guessed she knew who it was. She turned back to look at the supermarket door. "Congratulations."
Is giving money to Red Hood helping him fight the Penguin?
He waved his hand, "You're not going to see the school, are you?"
"School?"
"That's it, Charity," Tim whispered in her ear.
"The school you opened?" Liu Shu didn't remember Jason being a principal.
Tim's eyes behind his sunglasses showed a hint of doubt. Why could she speak to him in such a tone? Could she really not see the danger in Jason at all?
“…almost.” Jason stuffed the check into his pocket. He hoped it was fake so he wouldn’t have to work.
"Let the children clean themselves up. If they are too dirty, they will get sick easily."
"Is there a cafeteria? Buy some more eggs. Although it seems that not many people in Gotham take naps, it's better to let them sleep more if there is a chance." Liu Shu made some suggestions.
"You're such a good person," she ended with this classic line.
"Do you think I'm doing charity?" Jason leaned against his car. Why should he take responsibility for the good things his men did?
The stone in Tim's heart slowly fell to the ground. Jason was better than he thought. What's more, his classmates actually knew that Jason was the Red Hood.
"Are you going to fight Penguin?"
"???" Tim thought that such words should not be said in public.
"What?" Jason found that he could still chat with the child. He knew that she provided extraordinary help to his gang.
“Will you still open the Iceberg Restaurant after you take it over?”
"Open it."
"Do you still keep the penguin?"
“I don’t keep penguins.”
While they were talking about penguins, someone actually saw a penguin.
A hooded figure crouched on the rooftop of the Iceberg Restaurant, where he could see a hint of the magnificent building's glow, but that was not what he came to see.
He walked along the roof ridge to the edge and found the ventilation duct here...
Tim listened quietly to Liu Shu and Jason chatting. They had actually started discussing Penguin's assets. These two people really didn't give Penguin any face at all.
