Zhao Gancheng blocked their way, looking like he was looking for trouble.
Lin An didn't want to waste time on him and said coldly, "Get out of the way, I have urgent business."
"What's up?"
"None of your business!"
Zhao Gancheng shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you're on my turf, everything you do is related to me, and I have the right to question whatever you do."
"What? Are you having a crush on my Lin An because you're so persistent?" Xu Mo interjected.
Upon hearing this, both Zhao Gancheng and Lin An were taken aback.
Zhao Gancheng quickly explained, "Nonsense! I like the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, I don't like Lin An at all."
"No wonder, I see." Lin An suddenly realized that this guy was competing with him because of a woman. But what could he do? Sometimes being too charming isn't a good thing; it only brings trouble.
Lin An coughed lightly and said softly, "Young Master Zhao, a woman's heart is unfathomable. Since you like Miss Zhou, try your best to become the kind of person he likes. I believe he will see your sincerity."
Zhao Gancheng was already displeased, and Lin An's lecturing attitude completely broke down his defenses:
"What do you mean? She can't see me because you're blocking my light."
Lin An ignored him: "Fine, move aside. If you move aside, I won't block you anymore. I won't stop you from shining."
“I won’t allow it! Unless you swear you’ll never see Zhou Ya again,” Zhao Gancheng said seriously, his eyes wide.
Seeing the tall and strong Zhao Gancheng acting so childishly, Lin An laughed. "Is it you who's sick, or am I, that you refuse to see Zhou Ya?"
No amount of persuasion worked. With the intermission about to end, he knew he wouldn't be able to make a move once Master Wang took the stage.
Lin An, having reached his limit, decided to resort to force if words failed. He gathered his strength in his dantian, preparing to kick Zhao Gancheng aside...
Lin An kicked halfway out when a child's voice rang out:
"Wang Qi! Come out here! Get out here!"
Lin An was stunned, his legs stopped in mid-air. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy of about six or seven years old standing in the backyard, shouting with his hands on his hips.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kick me? Someone come here! Security!" Zhao Gancheng took two steps back, keeping a wary distance of more than a meter from Lin An to avoid Lin An kicking him.
Four or five security guards arrived quickly.
Seeing that things were going badly, Xu Mo quickly said, "Lin An, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Why don't we retreat for now?"
"No rush, let's see what that child is here for." Lin An's attention had now shifted to the child.
The child shouted again, "Wang Qi, you big liar, you charlatan, give back Granny Liu's hard-earned money!"
"Master Wang's name is Wang Qi?" Lin An asked doubtfully.
“Yes, but everyone is used to calling him Master Wang, and many people don’t know his full name,” Xu Mo replied.
Several staff members at the venue saw someone causing trouble and stepped forward to stop the boy, but the little boy was agile and started running around the backyard. The staff members were in a flurry of activity and couldn't catch him.
"Stop right there!"
The boy showed no sign of stopping, running and shouting:
"Wang Qi, you big liar, give me my money back!"
Soon, the other masters and believers gathered around, drawn by the sound.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion:
"This child said that Master Wang cheated him out of money."
"How could that be? Master Wang's skill is evident to all."
"That's right. My daughter-in-law tried to conceive for seven years without success. He performed a blessing ceremony on her, and she got pregnant as soon as she got back. You tell me, isn't the master really capable?"
"So amazing, no wonder he's a master."
The boy, perhaps tired from running, quickly climbed up the big tree in the backyard, found a suitable spot on a thick branch, sat down, and continued cursing:
"Everyone, come quick! Wang Qi, you big liar! He swindled Grandma Liu out of her medical money! Grandma Liu is in the hospital now due to a relapse, and she has no money to pay her medical bills..."
The staff couldn't climb the tree and were so anxious they were waving their arms and legs around at the bottom.
"Go find a ladder, get this child down, and chase him out. What kind of trouble is he causing?"
Zhao Gancheng pointed to a security guard next to him and said, clearly his attention was no longer on Lin An. As one of the organizers, his primary task now was to maintain order at the venue.
Xu Mo looked at the farce unfolding before him and said:
"Tsk tsk tsk, could this Master Wang really be a fraud? But he's quite composed, making such a commotion and still not coming out. Is he still drinking tea in the lounge?"
“People who haven’t cultivated themselves must take medicine when they get sick. This Master Wang has no shame for money,” Lin An sighed.
Hearing their conversation, Zhao Gancheng, who was standing nearby, pointed to another security guard and said:
"Hurry up and go to the lounge to call Master Wang out. What time is it? Why are you still hiding away?"
The security guard jogged to the door of the lounge, where some offensive noises came from inside.
The security guard stood there, unsure whether to knock or not. He was afraid that knocking would spoil the master's mood and might even anger him, and a metaphysical master was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.
If they didn't knock, the Zhao family was paying their salaries, and they couldn't very well disobey Zhao Gancheng's orders. The security guard hesitated for a long time, but when he heard a roar from inside, the noise stopped, and it was finally over.
The security guard wiped the sweat from his forehead, braced himself, and knocked on the door, saying, "Master Wang, something's happened outside, please come out and take a look."
Hearing the sounds of frantic dressing inside, the security guard quickly added, "Don't rush, your health is important, don't catch a cold."
A minute later, Master Wang emerged, looking exhausted, his face flushed, and covered in sweat.
"Masters are all the same, being a man is tiring," the security guard thought to himself. At that moment, Yang Li followed him out, her face rosy and her eyes sparkling with spring.
The security guard thought to himself, "Such a beauty, it's worth it!"
"Master Wang is out!"
"Master, this little brat is spreading rumors about you!"
Master Wang looked serious and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
When the boy in the tree saw Wang Qi come out, he shouted, "Wang Qi, hurry up and return Grandma Liu's money!"
Master Wang shouted at the tree, "Kid, I won't argue with you because you're young, but don't frame me. I don't know this Granny Liu you're talking about."
"You're talking nonsense. Granny Liu spent 100,000 yuan to have a bracelet blessed by you."
Master Wang has consecrated so many bracelets in the past few days that he can't even remember them all, let alone Granny Liu.
The boy continued, "You even told Grandma Liu that if she wore the bracelet, her body would become stronger and stronger, and she would be immune to all diseases. She already had diabetes, and after listening to you, she went home and threw away her insulin. Now she's in the hospital in a coma because of high blood sugar, and she doesn't have money to pay her medical bills. You liar, don't try to deny it, pay me back right now!"
Wearing blessed items will make your body stronger. This is what Master Wang often tells the elderly people who come to him. However, he would never advise elderly people with underlying medical conditions to stop taking their medication casually, as that could be fatal.
Master Wang was just boasting that he was immune to all diseases, but his followers took his words as gospel and followed them without question. Now, Master Wang is suffering in silence, thinking, "I need to take medicine when I'm sick!"
The boy's story was well-developed and coherent, causing many believers to waver.
"Could this really be a scam?"
"Master Wang is so kind-hearted, he wouldn't be trying to scam an old lady, would he?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you can know a person's face but not their heart."
