After Qin Yan finished speaking in a huff, he kept observing the emotions of the people around him. After noticing Jing Cheng's undisguised expressions of shock, dissatisfaction, hesitation, curiosity, etc., he secretly felt refreshed.
He even thought to himself, "Let's see if you dare to ask who that person is. If you dare to ask me, just tell me directly."
While he was expecting Jing Cheng to ask, he was also worried that it would be difficult to end the matter if the other party was not who he thought.
Jing Cheng had no idea how anxious Qin Yan was at the moment. Just when the two of them were about to ask each other frankly, the commotion on the opposite side broke the awkward situation between them.
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, pretending that nothing had happened, and looked over impatiently at the sound.
They saw a vicious fight taking place about ten meters away from them. To call it a fight would be an exaggeration. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and it was a one-sided situation.
Jing Cheng had sharp eyes and he discovered that the protagonist who was being beaten by several people was the old liar who had "read fortunes" for him before.
This is unbelievable, retribution in this life comes so quickly?
To their surprise, although there were a few people watching, they only tried to persuade them verbally and no one called the police.
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan didn't dare to call the police. They had just come out of the police station and their criminal records were still fresh.
...
...
The old swindler looked to be at least 65 years old this year. He was beaten up in the street and ran away wailing. No one came to help him. Even the fortune-telling stall owner who was working with him stayed away from him. He looked really pitiful.
Jing Cheng felt sympathy and after hesitating for a moment, he closed his stall and prepared to go over and take a look.
Qin Yan quickly stopped him and frowned as he looked at the messy scene not far away: "Don't go over there yet."
"Why?"
Jing Cheng was very surprised that Qin Yan would stop him. In his impression, Qin Yan didn't seem like that kind of person.
Qin Yan didn't understand why he was meddling in other people's business. Perhaps Taoists were born with kind hearts?
Qin Yan said helplessly: "There are many people on the other side, and they are obviously professional thugs. If you go over there, you will just be a mess! If you want to help, you should do it within your ability. Didn't you hear those people saying that the old liar deserved it? Then he must have done something wrong, and they are teaching him a lesson. If you go over there to stop them, won't you just be hated for nothing?"
Jing Cheng thought to himself, of course I know, I predicted it when I looked at his face, he just can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Nowadays, it is no longer popular to "help those in need when seeing injustice". Everyone has his or her own set of views on right and wrong and justice. Often, the consequences of passers-by "meddling in other people's affairs" are endless bad consequences.
He is probably what people nowadays call the "Holy Father", Jing Cheng thought awkwardly.
However, what Jing Cheng didn't expect was that even though he didn't take the initiative to look for trouble, trouble would take the initiative to look for him.
The noise over there continued.
"Didn't you say I was going to get lucky? I was going to make a fortune? I just lost 3 million, so you better spit it out for me!" Mr. Chen had a face full of flesh and a fierce look. At this moment, he looked even more ferocious with his red eyes staring at people.
The old liar, who was grabbed by the collar, shrank back and said timidly: "...I didn't know you were going to gamble. If I knew you were going to gamble, I would have stopped you in advance."
"Stop meddling in other people's business and get out of here!" Mr. Chen asked his bodyguard to push away the person who was trying to stop him. He lowered his head and spat at the old man's face, cursing, "Why are you still talking nonsense to me now? I think you just want to take my money! Where is the 50,000 yuan? Give it to me!"
"That... I don't know either." The old man's eyes flickered and he stammered, "I just had a meal and my money was gone. I don't know which thief stole it."
The old man had a premonition in advance, and hid the money while the bodyguard went to the toilet after dinner. He quickly called his eldest son to get the money. By then the money had already arrived home, so he naturally couldn't take it out.
Moreover, the old man was careless and thought that Mr. Chen was so rich that he would not care about the 50,000 yuan. At most, he would just beat him up to let him vent his anger and that would be it.
How could he possibly spit out the money that had gone into his stomach?
Don’t even think about it!
The bodyguard at the side said coldly: "Boss, don't listen to him, this guy is very cunning and has already moved the money to another place."
The bodyguard was a professional bodyguard, so the old man's little trick certainly did not escape his eyes. After discovering the problem, he first called Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen had lost a large sum of money in a nearby casino and was very angry. Hearing this, he became furious and rushed over in less than an hour.
So the current scene came about.
The bodyguard's words were just adding fuel to the fire. Mr. Chen became even angrier after hearing this. He turned around and cursed, "You are a traitor. You can't even keep an eye on people?! You will lose your salary this month!"
The bodyguard realized that he had failed to supervise the matter, so he silently lowered his head and accepted the punishment.
When faced with a greedy scoundrel like the old liar who refused to speak the truth no matter how he was beaten or scolded, and when he saw that the old liar was dying, no matter how brave Mr. Chen was, he did not dare to beat the man to death in the street, so he had to let go.
The richer people are, the more they care about money, and Mr. Chen is one of the best.
Mr. Chen is a good gambler and wins nine times out of ten. Although he is often accused of not doing his job properly, he knows that those people are all envious of his fortune behind his back.
He is the youngest son in the family and no one can control him. His brothers originally looked down on him, but since he became famous in the circle with his gambling skills, his brothers have respected him a lot more. At least on the surface, no one dares to say anything bad about him.
However, he had been very unlucky these days and had been losing money repeatedly. He was extremely anxious, but he could not control himself and always wanted to gamble.
So he specially found a fortune teller to check his fortune before going to the casino today. If his luck was still bad, he would control himself. But the old liar was greedy and praised him to the sky, which made him excited and made a big bet... Now he is really embarrassed.
He could imagine how his brothers at home would look at him.
Unable to vent his anger, Mr. Chen felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and finally he couldn't help but use his trump card.
He stared viciously at the old man lying on the ground pretending to faint, grinning: "Do you know who I am? I might as well tell you that I am from the family of Old Chen in Gucheng. Everyone in Gucheng knows what my sister-in-law does. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people in the ancient city were shocked. Almost everyone could not help but take a few steps back, looking at the middle-aged man in the middle who was gasping for breath with anger.
Everyone started whispering in a small circle.
In the ancient city, there are many families with the surname Chen, but there is only one family, the Old Chen. They are the most famous wealthy family in the ancient city. It is not that their family is rich, but that they married a "strange man". It is the existence of this "strange man" that made the Chen family rise step by step and become a well-known wealthy family in the ancient city.
Jing Cheng and Qin Yan, who were not far away, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jing Cheng stroked his chin and rolled his eyes: "The Chen family... shouldn't be what I guessed, right?"
Qin Yan glanced at him and said, "Just as you guessed, this person should be a relative of Chen Zhiyi."
Then this person’s “sister-in-law” should be Chen Zhiyi’s mother as Fu Le mentioned?
Jing Cheng thought, it seems that Chen Zhiyi's mother is very powerful. These people were so scared just by hearing her name...
The old man had been in the ancient city for many years, so of course he knew about this strange story.
Hearing this, he couldn't pretend anymore. He opened his eyes instantly and got up tremblingly. "I know where the money is. I'll go get it back for you right away."
This old man is in really good health. He can still stand up on his own even after being beaten like this.
Seeing this, Mr. Chen really wanted to punch him again.
When the crowd saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, of course they didn't dare to watch even if there was something exciting, and they all dispersed after a while.
Once the crowd dispersed, Jing Cheng and Qin Yan standing in the middle of the road became more conspicuous.
Good-looking people are prone to attracting other people's attention, let alone tall and handsome young men like Qin Yan and Jing Cheng, each with their own merits.
When the old man looked up, he saw Jing Cheng with a calm face. He couldn't breathe out, and the breath got stuck in his throat, and he almost passed out.
This brat got it all right!
No... No! He is not making a windfall, this is a fortune that will cost him his life!
He is totally misleading me!
The old man became more and more hateful as he thought about it. With evil thoughts in his heart, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed in Jing Cheng's direction, saying loudly: "Boss Chen, this matter really shouldn't be blamed on me. I don't have any ability. What I said to you before was taught to me by the kid standing over there!"
Jing Cheng: “………………”
He really overestimated human nature. Jing Cheng despised the compassion he had just felt. This old bastard!
Boss Chen looked at Jing Cheng in surprise and doubt, and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Qin Yan was surprised and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? We don't even know you!"
The old man snorted, "What do you mean I don't know him? This guy came to my stall an hour ago. Everyone here saw him and can testify for me! Boss Chen, his backpack is bulging. Maybe it contains the 50,000 yuan. The guy next to him might be his accomplice!"
When he came back from eating just now, he heard from the stall owner next door that the guy had just made a lot of money!
Jing Cheng: “…”
Qin Yan: “…”
Jing Cheng just sold more than twenty talismans, and many people paid in cash. He did have tens of thousands of dollars in his bag.
In today's society, normal people rarely put so much money in their bags. Although he has witnesses, Boss Chen looks unreasonable, and the old bastard is greedy and vicious, so there's no telling what he will say.
Qin Yan was shocked and furious when he heard this, thinking that this old bastard was lying and even framed a passerby to find someone to take the blame. Even if his wallet was lost, could he still steal money?
Just as he was about to step forward and say something, Jing Cheng stopped him unexpectedly and shook his head at him.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Qin Yan suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jing Cheng thought that with your current bad luck, it will only get worse in the future.
Didn’t you see that Mr. Chen had already believed what the old bastard said, and the look in his eyes when he looked at them was wrong?
After thinking for a moment, Jing Cheng looked up and said to Mr. Chen: "I can help you win back the money you just lost before tonight!"
After these words were spoken, Mr. Chen, who was about to ask the bodyguard to arrest the two men, was suddenly speechless.
Everyone was stunned.
…
…
An hour later, Mr. Chen bowed to Jing Cheng with a smile on his face and said, "Master! You are a true master!"
