Time goes back to one hour ago.
After Jing Cheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.
This kid is so arrogant!
Mr. Chen was stunned for a long time before hesitantly speaking: "Can you help me win it back? This is not a children's game of three or two yuan, it is three million. Do you know what three million means?"
Those two little brats, who probably have never seen so much money in their lives, actually said they could help him win back the three million. Are they just bragging without thinking?
Others didn't dare to speak, for fear of bringing bad luck to Mr. Chen.
The old man looked unhappy, thinking that the boy might be telling the truth.
Seeing that no one around him was paying attention to him, he quietly bent over and tried to take the opportunity to escape. However, Jing Cheng had been paying attention to his movements while talking, and when he saw that he was about to run, he kicked a stone at the back of his knee.
The pebbles were not very lethal, but the old man had just been beaten and was weak. The tendons in the back of his knees twitched violently, and his legs and feet immediately went limp and he fell to the ground.
No one noticed this scene which was comparable to a martial arts master's attack. People nearby saw the old man kneeling on the ground and thought he was suffering from the aftereffects of the beating he had just received, so they pointed at him and sneered.
...
...
The old man's face turned red and white, which looked very beautiful. He turned his head and saw Jing Cheng smiling at him gently.
Old man: “…………” Having lived to such an old age, this is the first time I have witnessed the true meaning of “smiling with a dagger hidden behind one’s smile”.
The suspicion and contempt in Mr. Chen's tone were too obvious. Before Jing Cheng could say anything, Qin Yan snorted coldly: "It's only three million. My annual pocket money is more than that."
Mr. Chen looked even weirder: "...kid, your bragging should be realistic. If you brag too much, it will only be more miserable if you fall. Your parents know you..."
Qin Yan blocked his unspoken words with just one sentence: "I am from the Qin family in Shangjing."
Mr. Chen's expression changed, and he immediately changed his words: "...How disrespectful."
Everyone was amazed at this unexpected turn of events. Was the Qin family in Shangjing so powerful? How could they make the arrogant Fatty Chen change color when he heard about it?
Jing Cheng was also surprised. Although he had known that Qin Yan's family background was unusual, how could he be so famous?
Qin Yan leaned close to him and explained quietly: "My family has cooperated with the Chen family in business before."
Jing Cheng nodded as if he understood, and then hesitantly reminded: "However, it is safer to keep a low profile when you go out. Is it okay for you to expose your family information so rashly?"
Qin Yan touched his nose and said, "I couldn't help but say it out loud."
With his current abilities, if he wants to slap someone in the face, the most effective way is of course to rely on his father.
Qin Yan stood there without saying a word, his expression even more arrogant than Mr. Chen's just now. Mr. Chen looked at him carefully and felt that he was not lying.
Shangjing is the base of the elite circle, and the Qin family is a wealthy family standing at the top of the elite circle. No matter how powerful their Chen family is, they are just local tyrants in the ancient city and cannot be compared with the century-old Qin family in Shangjing.
Although Mr. Chen is idle all day long, he is in the circle after all, and he knows everything he should know.
The Qin family does have a young master like Qin Yan in this generation. It is said that he has a very good appearance but a very bad temper. He can get angry at any time...
Now it looks like it should be in good shape.
But he couldn't see this temper.
So Mr. Chen laughed and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Qin. I have had the honor of meeting Mr. Qin Yue a few times. We are considered friends. I wonder what the relationship between him and Young Master is?"
Qin Yan saw his intention, and said with a twitch of his mouth: "He is my uncle."
Mr. Chen sorted out the relationships in his mind and found that they matched what he knew, so he grinned even more happily: "Look, this is just like a flood that broke through the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other. Why didn't you just tell me who you are earlier?"
Qin Yan and Jing Cheng looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: Who the hell is your family?
Qin Yan stood with his arms crossed, mocking without giving any face: "The temple is small but the evil spirits are strong, the pond is shallow but Wang Baduo is too shallow."
"You two young masters are so handsome and talented!" Mr. Chen was selectively deaf. He didn't hesitate to drool. His face was shaking with laughter and his eyes were narrowed into slits. "I was blind just now. Don't take it to heart, my two nephews. I will treat you well later."
The onlookers didn't expect such a development and their eyes dropped to the ground in shock.
The bodyguards were all perceptive people and were well-trained to drive away the onlookers.
Although the situation has changed greatly, this does not prevent Jing Cheng from holding a grudge, so Jing Cheng said calmly: "Let's solve the problem at hand first."
The old man sitting on the ground was dumbfounded. He never expected that the two people he offended actually knew each other!
Wouldn't that mean we would all unite to deal with him?
The old man was regretting in his heart at this moment. If he had known it earlier...it's hard to buy early knowledge in life.
"Of course!" Mr. Chen said quickly, "This old liar cheated me of my money and then bit me back. Uncle will definitely teach him a lesson for you!"
He waved to the bodyguard behind him, without even looking at the old man begging on the ground, and said directly: "Take him away!"
Two burly bodyguards dragged him up and took him away without any courtesy. The old man shuddered and looked at them in horror and said, "What are you going to do?! I'll return the money to you, can you let me go..."
Mr. Chen was afraid that his actions would scare Jing Cheng and Qin Yan, so he quickly interrupted him: "Why are you shouting? If you shout again, I'll send you to the police station!"
The old man shut his mouth instantly. Money can be earned back if lost. He had cheated many people over the years without any investigation. If he was taken to the police station, the rest of his life would basically be over.
Qin Yan and Jing Cheng watched this scene silently, and this time no one spoke to stop it.
Fatty Chen is not someone who is easy to talk to. He has been in the underworld for so many years, what tricks does he not have?
Being taken away by him may not be better than going to the police station.
Just at that moment, Jing Cheng discovered that the old man's face had changed again. Of course, it was not a good change, but Jing Cheng did not choose to meddle in other people's business this time.
One wrong step, all wrong.
Greed is the key to success. The old liar deserves what he has done.
…
After solving the problem with the old swindler, Mr. Chen suddenly remembered what Jing Cheng had said just now, and couldn't help but think about his three million again.
Just now, one of his bodyguards said that Jing Cheng had just drawn talismans on the street and had attracted a lot of attention. Thinking of this, Mr. Chen began to get excited. He asked Jing Cheng with a flattering face, "Nephew Qin said he could help me win back the three million. Do you still want to keep your promise?"
Jing Cheng was not surprised that he would bring this up, and was shocked by his address: "Of course it counts, but my last name is Jing, not Qin, and I am not your nephew."
Mr. Chen readily changed his words and said, "Young Master Jing."
He didn't know which family Jing Cheng was from, but since he could play with the Qin family, he must not be an ordinary person.
Qin Yan has always had confidence in Jing Cheng. Seeing that this Fatty Chen actually wanted to get something for nothing, he said unhappily, "Three million is not a small sum. Shouldn't Mr. Chen show some sincerity?"
"This..." Mr. Chen laughed dryly, thinking that he was indeed a member of the Qin family. He knew how to protect his food and was obsessed with money at such a young age.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chen said, "If Mr. Jing can help me win back the money, why not give him half?"
To be honest, he didn't believe that the other party could really help him win it all back, but everyone can write a blank check.
Jing Cheng glanced at him and said, "You said so."
Mr. Chen patted his chest proudly: "It's a must!"
.
Jingcheng decided to use the six-line hexagram of the Book of Changes.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the hexagram, Jing Cheng specially bought a string of Five Emperors' coins from the nearby God of Wealth store. The owner of the God of Wealth store wanted to give Jing Cheng a string of fake coins to fool him, but Jing Cheng just glanced at it and said, "Give us the real ones. We are not short of money."
When the owner of the God of Wealth Shop saw that they were so numerous and powerful, he had to take real money from the warehouse: a string of small Five Emperors and a string of big Five Emperors.
Jing Cheng didn't expect that this small God of Wealth shop had hidden treasures and even the Five Emperors' Coins. He was immediately surprised.
Although the Big Five Emperors Coins and the Small Five Emperors Coins have the same function, the Big Five Emperors Coins are much more precious than the Small Five Emperors Coins. After all, it covers a wider range of dynasties, and its effect in warding off evil spirits and warding off evil spirits is also stronger.
You have to know that a hundred years ago, few people could collect the coins of the Five Emperors. Although Jing Cheng also had a string, it was left to him by the head of the family. Unfortunately, his belongings did not come with him.
After getting them, he took a careful look and discovered that the Small Five Emperors' Coins were real, but the Large Five Emperors' Coins were fake. Although they looked to have a history of several hundred years, the Qin Ban Liang and Han Wu Zhu were imitations of later generations. However, having the Kai Yuan Tong Bao and Song Yuan Tong Bao was already a pleasant surprise, and Jing Cheng did not ask for more.
Since it was Fatty Chen who paid, Jing Cheng took both skewers.
Ten minutes later, the three of them found a private room in the store and sat down.
Fatty Chen followed Jing Cheng's request, placed three coins in his palm and began to shake the hexagrams.
The hexagram was shaken six times, and Jing Cheng took note of each throw.
After six times, the hexagram came out - Li.
It is still the hexagram that Xun wood gives birth to Li fire, and Li fire is restrained by Dui metal.
Fire overcoming metal is for making money, while Li fire overcoming Dui metal is for losing money.
Jing Cheng understood what was going on. No wonder Fatty Chen always lost every time he gambled recently.
"How is it?" Seeing Jing Cheng frowning and looking serious, Fatty Chen felt even more uneasy and kept chattering, "Is my luck particularly bad? In the past, I always won every time I gambled. Luck is one aspect, but it also has something to do with my skills. I don't know what's going on recently. I can't even win by cheating. This is simply..."
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked strange.
Qin Yan coughed and said, "It's not good to cheat..."
Fatty Chen waved his hands and said exhaustedly, "There is no gambling king in this world. It's just a competition of tactics. Whoever has the better tactics will win. I used to be an expert in the industry, but I didn't know that things would change. I suddenly started to have bad luck. Mr. Jing, can you see if there is any way to crack it?"
Jing Cheng explained the hexagrams to him. No one in the room understood the I Ching and Eight Trigrams, so they were confused and bewildered.
Jing Cheng had no choice but to say, "How about this, when you go out, change into green clothes, or cut a branch and put it on your body... Three million, then take three branches, preferably with green leaves on them."
Wood produces fire, and as long as the fire burns strongly enough, it can naturally overcome metal.
Fatty Chen didn't understand the principle behind this, but he was eager to win money, so he immediately bought a set of clothes according to Jing Cheng's request.
Not only was he dressed in green, he also bought a green hat and green sneakers.
After changing his clothes, Jing Cheng took a look at the things he was wearing around his neck and hands, "Take out all the valuables on you, don't carry them with you."
Mr. Chen is even cuckolded, so naturally, whatever Jing Cheng says goes.
Jing Cheng finally said: "Remember, don't be greedy, you must leave after you win the money."
After the fat Chen, whose hair was green from head to toe, led his people away in a hurry, only Qin Yan and Jing Cheng were left in the small private room.
Qin Yan was surprised and said, "Why don't we follow him? What if he wins the money and comes back to turn against us?" He didn't care about the 1.5 million, but he cared about Jing Cheng.
Jing Cheng took a bite of the snack and thought that it was indeed a well-known local pastry, and it tasted really good. He said vaguely, "He won't."
Qin Yan disagreed and said: "Mr. Chen is obviously a villain..."
"I am a humble person who knows how to bend and stretch." Jing Cheng swallowed the snack in his mouth and said slowly, "He will come back to beg me."
He didn't tell the whole hexagram, only half of it.
He recalled what he had just observed.
His eyebrows were dark blue, his eyes were red, his expression was sometimes dazed, sometimes anxious, and his spit was black...
Why did my fortune suddenly drop?
The most important reason is being poisoned.
