Chapter 98 Failure
Although they agreed to compete in skills, Lu Xing had not yet decided what to compete in.
The agreed day soon arrived.
A lot of people came to the police station. They were all supporters of the old liar, who came to cheer him on.
The old con man still looked sage-like and greeted Lu Xing kindly. "Now that everyone's here, why don't we get started? You go first?"
The reason why the old con man was so confident was that with his many years of experience in deceiving people, he knew the principles of all the scams currently circulating in the world.
As long as Lu Xing made the first move, he would be sure to expose her trick. Then, if he could just act a little more gracefully and let her go, claiming he was too powerful to bully ordinary people, he would win the competition.
So he pretended to be very polite and let Lu Xing go first.
Coincidentally, Lu Xing had the same idea as him: with the system, no trick could fool her. She also wanted the old con man to come first so that she could prove her own ability by exposing him.
"No, no, no, you go first."
After a stalemate of pushing and rejecting each other, both of them realized that the other had the same idea as them.
"I've been practicing for so many years, it would be a bit of a bully if I showed off first. Why don't you go first?"
Seeing that Lu Xing refused to respond, the old liar added, "Don't you dare? Or are you afraid of being exposed first?"
After he said that, as long as Lu Xing didn't show it first, she would seem guilty and be forced to step forward.
The system, which had been listening silently, couldn't bear it any longer. [Host, don't worry, I can help you!]
Everyone in the group immediately came up with a countermeasure.
Lu Xing said to the old con man, "It's no use for the two of us to just sit there like that. We have to compete on something. People say you're even more skilled than a god. What are you good at, old god?"
Of course the old con man couldn't afford to lose at this time. He stroked his beard and said, "I know a little bit about fortune-telling and feng shui for graves."
When the onlookers heard what he said, they felt that the old liar had become even more unfathomable.
"Okay, why don't we have a fortune-telling competition? Pick anyone from this crowd of onlookers and see who can tell the most accurate fortune."
"good."
The old liar rolled his eyes and picked out a person from the crowd who had bought a lot of medicine from him. Because he had bought a lot of medicine, he had also learned some information.
After being called out, the man stretched out his right hand and looked at the old liar excitedly, "Master, please tell me the number quickly."
The old liar pretended to start calculating, then shared what he knew. "Your last name is Zhang. I've calculated that you have few family connections. I'm afraid both your parents are deceased. Your luck with children isn't great either. You've been waiting for years for a daughter. Your marriage palace isn't harmonious. You and your wife are always arguing, right?"
"That's right." The man was shocked. "Master, your calculations are so accurate."
Someone who knew the man's family situation came forward to testify that what the master said was true. Others who already believed in the old liar became even more convinced of his abilities and were eager to buy a few more pills to support the liar.
Liu Hehua didn't believe the old liar. She still believed in Lu Xing's level. As for what the old liar just said, anyone could find out. It was not convincing at all.
However, she was surrounded by people who supported the old liar, so it was difficult to say this out loud. She could only silently cheer for Lu Xing in her heart.
It was Lu Xing's turn. Of course, she didn't know how to tell fortunes, but she had a system that was even more accurate than fortune-telling.
"Has your wife been arguing with you lately?"
"Is the reason for the quarrel because you lost her silver bracelet? She suspected that you secretly sold the bracelet because you two were the only ones who knew where it was.
You've been talking about being short of money lately, so your wife is starting to suspect you."
This time the man was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long pause, he said, "Auntie, you are really amazing. It's like you were hiding in the beams and heard us arguing. You are absolutely right."
Lu Xing hadn't finished speaking yet, "Your wife thought you took the money out to gamble, but you actually went to buy medicine. Your wife's bracelet wasn't lost; she accidentally put it in another hiding box."
The man's home was in town. As soon as Lu Xing finished speaking, the people around him started to make a noise, "Boss Zhang, isn't your home right next door? Go back and look for that bracelet and see if what this aunt said is true."
Boss Zhang thought what those people said made sense and ran home to look for the bracelet.
The old liar was left panicking on the sidelines. He had never heard of or seen the skills that Lu Xing displayed.
Considering Lu Xing's age, it's impossible that she really heard it while leaning on the beam.
Either that guy was hired by her, or she really has some skills.
Now that the competition has become such a big deal, if he bows to Lu Xing at this time, he will not be able to continue to cheat people out of money.
So, while Boss Zhang wasn't here, the old liar pretended to be sorry and said, "You said you wanted to compete, so why did you find someone to help you? It's not shameful to lack skills."
"If you admit it, even if we draw today, it will be considered as saving your face."
"What draw? Didn't I win?" Lu Xing found it a little funny that the liar was still struggling at this time.
"I've been fortune-telling for so many years, and I always remember not to go into too much detail, otherwise the retribution will be very serious. You just went into so much detail, and that person's reaction was so exaggerated, what was he acting?"
Lu Xing would not continue to listen to the liar's words. If she did, she would fall into an endless trap of self-proof.
"You ate half a duck for dinner yesterday. The chicken leg fell to the ground and you went to pick it up. As a result, when you stood up, your shin hit the chair. Now that place should be blue. Do you dare to show it to everyone?"
"I'm old, so it's normal for me to have some bumps and bruises. Who knows if you're just guessing."
"The bruise is three centimeters below your knee. If it's one centimeter less, I lose. What else do you have to say now?"
"I..." The old liar glanced and found that Boss Zhang had already rushed here from home. "I don't have much to say. This only proves that your fortune-telling ability is a little better."
"If I hadn't been concentrating on making elixirs now, I wouldn't have fallen behind in divination."
"It's a pity. Their skills in treating illnesses and making medicines are incomparable."
As soon as he said this, those who were originally a little hesitant were immediately convinced.
After saying this, the old liar prepared to run away in order to avoid being slapped in the face by Lu Xing again, because Boss Zhang had already arrived.
"What's the rush?"
The old liar failed to leave. His hand was grabbed by Lu Xing, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He was forced to listen to what Boss Zhang said.
The silver bracelet was indeed found in the place Lu Xing said.
"You said before that this medicine can cure any disease. Is that true?"
"kindness."
With so many people watching, the old liar couldn't say a word.
Lu Xing asked someone to bring a rabbit and cut its hind legs. "Then this pill should be able to heal the wound on the rabbit's leg."
Then she slipped a pill into the rabbit, and the old trickster was too late to stop her.
The rabbit was still lively and energetic at first, and everyone stared at its feet, wanting to see when it would recover.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the rabbit began to become weak and then died.
She didn't know that laxatives were poisonous to rabbits, and neither did anyone else; they just saw the rabbit take the medicine and die.
Now everyone finally realized that they had been cheated.
What kind of magic medicine is this? It can actually harm people after eating it. Even rabbits died after eating it.
Many people who took the medicine began to feel scared and were filled with anger towards the old liar who was the instigator of all this.
This time, even if Lu Xing didn't catch him, he couldn't escape.
