Lin Xiaozhe's live stream.
[This was a high-level, top-tier match.]
[I've never understood why rich people play these kinds of games late at night?]
[Why wouldn't you play? Even Wang Xiaocong, the nation's heartthrob, plays.]
[Speaking of which, Ozawa is going to be a third wheel this time, getting completely overwhelmed by the attention.]
I have a feeling this guy is bragging; could he be a con artist?
Lin Xiaozhe shared a similar feeling, sensing that something was amiss.
The game started, and while searching for supplies and chatting, Lin Xiaozhe learned that the man's family was extremely wealthy, owning a family company. However, he himself did not like studying and had been abroad since childhood, only to return and inherit the family business after obtaining a degree.
"Number 3, what are you doing?"
"The small streamer doesn't have many viewers." Lin Xiaozhe hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. He also hoped that they would be careful when they spoke and avoid sensitive topics.
"Little streamer, oh, I guess you're a PUBG streamer. No wonder you have so many rare skins." The man seemed to understand something, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Room number. I feel a strong connection with you, so I'll send you a gift."
"No need for this." Lin Xiaozhe hesitated for a moment. If he saw so many people in the live stream, he might just quit the game.
After all, a young master from such a family would probably be very afraid of romantic scandals spreading from his live stream and affecting the family's reputation.
"Don't be shy, give me your number."
Since he insisted on having the room number, Lin Xiaozhe decided to give it to him.
Room number xxxx
As soon as Lin Xiaozhe finished speaking, the man exclaimed "Oh dear!" as if he had just remembered, "Oh no, I forgot, my bank card is at its limit today. I bought too much stuff. Let's do it another day."
Lin Xiaozhe: "..."
"It's not that I don't have money, it's just that there's a limit. Don't worry, I'll give you a big one another day. I think you should stop doing live streaming, bro. I also like playing games. You can be my gaming companion from now on. I'll pay you 20,000 a month. Is that acceptable?"
Lin Xiaozhe hadn't really suspected him at first, but after he mentioned the limit, she started to suspect that the man was a scammer and probably trying to cheat the woman out of an online romance.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into it myself.
Based on his experience, this man was most likely a rich young man pretending to be a con artist to trick someone into marriage.
Since he had already said that, Lin Xiaozhe went along with his topic and exposed his lies.
“Okay, 20,000 is a lot, much better than being a live streamer. So where do you live, and where should I go to work?” Lin Xiaozhe.
“Live with me. My room is big, and there’s a cook and a cleaning lady living there too. Adding you won’t make a difference. You can eat my food and live in my room. Just play games with me.”
"The conditions are great! So, boss, where are you staying...?"
"Do you know Shenhai Tangpin Yichen? It's the one with really expensive houses. If you act like a good playmate and get along well with me, you can drive any of those Cullinans and Rolls-Royces in my garage."
Lin Xiaozhe perked up when he heard this. Could it be that he really was the young master of the wealthy family living in Tang Pinyichen's house? What a coincidence!
Lin Xiaozhe doesn't have many friends at Tangpin Yichen. If he's really there, then we can get together and make friends sometime in the future.
"What a coincidence! Which building do you live in?"
The man fell silent; he hadn't expected Lin Xiaozhe to ask which building number it was.
"No, brother, why are you asking this?"
"I was just asking casually. I need to know where I'll be working in the future," Lin Xiaozhe said with a smile.
"Um... okay, Building 5. I usually don't want to answer questions that involve personal privacy."
Lin Xiaozhe fell silent.
If he remembers correctly.
His residential complex only has four buildings.
Does Tangpin Yichen have a Building No. 5?
I just searched on Baidu, but it's not there.
[Sure enough, this guy is a total liar; he probably just wanted to deceive the woman's feelings.]
[Wow, this streamer is amazing! Even playing a game can lead to a marriage scam.]
Lin Xiaozhe didn't expose him immediately. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "No, brother, are you kidding me? You don't want to reveal your home address, so you're saying this?"
"No, I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong?"
"Do you know Tangpin Yichen? There's no Building 5, only Buildings 1 through 4."
"Oh..." The man remained silent for a long time, he himself hadn't thought of this.
The woman, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Xu Yonghu, you live in Tangpin Yichen, but you don't know how many buildings there are? You're not a liar, are you?"
“Honey, how could I be a liar? I just, well, I simply don’t want to reveal my address and am worried about privacy breaches.”
"Really?" The woman was clearly a little doubtful. After a slight silence, she asked, "Then tell me your address, which building and unit number."
"Ahem, well, I live in Unit 1, Building 1, Apartment 101. I deliberately chose this building; it was really expensive back then. You know me, if I set my sights on something, I'll buy it no matter the price." The man thought to himself, "This can't be wrong, right?"
This silenced Lin Xiaozhe once again.
You live in 101, where do I live?
I live in Unit 1, Building 1, Apartment 101.
[What's going on? Doesn't Ozawa live in Taipei 101?]
Is he a liar, or is it Ozawa who's the liar?
Oh no, has Xiaoze been lying to us all along?
[No way, could the property certificate Xiaoze has be fake?]
Lin Xiaozhe glanced at the comments and was speechless. How did he end up being the liar? The house was a gift from the system, so it was definitely his, no doubt about it.
"Ahem, bro, are you sure you live in 101? You're not lying, are you?" Lin Xiaozhe teased.
This completely baffled the older brother.
At this moment, in an internet cafe in Shanghai, a middle-aged man sitting in a corner, with bottled water on one side and instant noodles in the other, his hair slicked back and shiny from not washing it for days, panicked the moment he heard Lin Xiaozhe's question.
Holy crap.
Does Tangpin Yichen not have 101?
That's fucking bad.
The older brother quickly wiped his sweat, touched his leg, and typed a search query online.
Yes, of course I have it. Damn it, what does this kid mean?
The eldest brother regained his composure. Three months ago, he met Ms. Chen Momo on the dating website Jiayuan.com. She seemed to be from the Chen family of Shenhai and was currently managing a clothing company under the family.
They're rich; their social media posts are full of luxury goods, they frequent five-star hotels, and they drive Ferraris or million-dollar supercars.
To cultivate his image as a rich second-generation heir and win Chen Momo's heart, he frequently gifted her various brand-name luxury goods, all of which were, of course, fake.
Having finally reached the point of marriage, and about to become the son-in-law of a prominent family, with wealth and glory within his grasp, he couldn't afford to fall apart here.
So he forced himself to remain calm and said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with 101? Tang Pin Yichen's house is a bit expensive for ordinary people, but it's not that bad for me."
"Hey, what's wrong with you, the streamer? You don't think I'm like people in your social class who can't even afford a bowl of soup, do you? What a joke."
