"But I have no grudge against him, why does he want to kill me?"
Liu Bing couldn't understand the reason behind this.
Liu Bing's friend is using someone else's knife to kill someone? Does that mean he knows about the old man's existence and wants to use him to kill Liu Bing without anyone noticing?
Sometimes you don't even need a reason to want to kill someone. Maybe you've offended them in some way and you're not even aware of it.
Remember when several travel influencers on Douyin suddenly died? Their causes of death remain a mystery. Have you been targeted in the same way?
Netizens were speculating a lot, but none of them could come up with a clear answer.
The old man sighed deeply and looked at Liu Bing embarrassedly.
"Young man, I came to you without knowing what was going on. Fortunately, I didn't scare you to death. Please don't take it personally, old man like me."
He also figured it out. When he was scaring Liu Bing these days, he had hinted to him several times that Liu Bing had taken his things. Liu Bing had not reacted at all because he didn't know about it. It was a bit too much for him to scare him for so many days.
Liu Bing was wondering why his friend wanted to harm him when he suddenly heard the old man apologizing to him in a kind tone. Liu Bing quickly collected his thoughts and looked at the old man.
"What are you talking about? You were very kind to me by letting us rest at your house that day. I just didn't expect my friend to take your things so casually. I'm really sorry."
Liu Bing no longer cared about the scare he had suffered before. Although it was not him who took the things, he was still involved. The old man just wanted to get his things back and teach the thief a lesson at the same time. What was wrong with that?
The one who was wrong was his friend, who framed him and deceived the old man.
The two shook hands and made peace, and everyone was very happy to see this harmonious scene.
Liu Bing solved the problem that had been bothering him, but the problem of his friend wanting to harm him has not been solved yet.
"Master Jiang, can you tell me why he did this to me?"
"I treated him well. I really didn't expect him to treat me like this." Liu Bing's face was full of disappointment and sigh.
Jiang Tang said calmly, "It's because you treat him well that he wants to harm you."
Liu Bing opened his mouth wide: "Huh?"
What does Master Jiang mean by this? How could he harbor such hatred and want to kill me even though I was so kind to him?
【Isn’t this the farmer and the snake? 】
This development was completely unexpected. I thought they were having financial or relationship problems. It seems my imagination wasn't broad enough.
[Master Jiang, please tell us why that person is like this. I'm so curious.]
Jiang Tang smiled faintly: "People are very jealous. Liu Bing, you are a well-known travel anchor. You usually make a lot of money, right?"
Liu Bing pursed his lips and nodded. He seemed to know why that guy treated him like this.
"My monthly income is about 230,000 yuan. If I help businesses promote their ads and products, I can double that."
As soon as Liu Bing said this, netizens were envious.
[Hey, he earns several years’ salary in just one month. Is this how profitable short video making is?]
[Then your friend is just jealous and envious, so he wants to harm you.]
[It's understandable that your friends can't stand seeing you doing well. They'd rather kill you than let you make money every day...]
Therefore, there is a certain truth in not showing off your wealth. You don't know whether the people around you are real or not. Once jealousy kicks in, people are capable of anything.
"Everyone is right. Once jealousy comes up, people won't care whether you are a relative or a friend. They will still harm you." Jiang Tang said.
"Your current income is the result of five or six years of continuous learning and hard work. This money really belongs to you."
"You're a person who values righteousness and loyalty, so after you started making money, you're usually the one who pays for when you and your friends go out."
"Especially with this friend who wants to kill you, you have no defenses at all, simply because you have been friends for over ten years."
Liu Bing sat on the bed and nodded silently. He was indeed such a person.
Jiang Tang: "After he knew you were making money, he borrowed money from you several times, right? Did he pay you back?"
"No..." Liu Bing shook his head with hurt in his eyes.
"I've never actually told anyone my exact income, but since I've become wealthy, I tend to spend lavishly. When I go out with friends, I like to pay the bill to save face, so they all think I make a lot of money."
"Among my close friends, he's not the only one who's borrowed money from me, but he's the only one who hasn't paid me back a cent."
"He borrowed from me three times. One time, he needed 180,000 yuan as a betrothal gift for his girlfriend, but he only had 100,000 yuan, so he borrowed 80,000 yuan from me."
"The second time was when he didn't have enough money to pay for the wedding house, so he borrowed 200,000 yuan from me. The third time was when he didn't have enough money for the wedding budget, so he borrowed another 100,000 yuan from me..."
Ginger Candy: “…”
Old man: “…”
Netizens: “…”
Everyone looked at Liu Bing as if he were a fool and a sucker.
[No, are you sure that's your friend and not your son?]
[Oh my God, he borrowed money from you for the betrothal gift, for buying a house, and even for the wedding. You care about him more than his parents do...]
[You lent out 380,000 yuan in just three times. Doesn't your money feel like it's burning in your wallet?]
"Brother, you're awesome. You can lend me so much money just by asking me to. Why don't you lend me some too? I won't borrow too much, just 20,000."
The old man couldn't stand it anymore. He looked Liu Bing up and down and said with regret.
"He's your son and your father, why do you treat him like this? With that little money, you might as well dress yourself up and find a good wife."
"It's no wonder you were framed! You're really simple-minded but strong-limbed!"
Liu Bing felt uncomfortable. "Old man, I just thought he was my best friend, so I helped him if I could. Who knew he would..."
"You, you, I don't know how to say hello to you."
The old man put his hands behind his back, shook his head and turned away from Liu Bing.
Fortunately, this kid is not his son, otherwise he would be so angry that he would break out of the coffin and give him a few big beatings!
Liu Bing looked at Jiang Tang with embarrassment.
Jiang Tang said helplessly: "You are a little naive..."
Liu Bing's face suddenly turned as red as a monkey's butt.
[Pfft, I'm dying of laughter. Isn't Master Jiang's words too euphemistic?]
[Looking at Liu Bing's face, it seems he also knows what Master Jiang means, hahaha.]
[It's innocent, but it's innocent mixed with a lot of stupidity. If I were your friend, I'd keep finding excuses to borrow money from you, because you're the kind of person who borrows money but is too embarrassed to ask for it back.]
[I'm going to make a wild guess. Maybe he got angry and wanted to harm you because you didn't lend your friend money later?]
