Chapter 208 Imagination
The Robbery Alliance.
All ten elites of the Zheng family gathered in the conference room, each with a serious expression.
Zheng San asked in confusion, "Brother, why did you suddenly gather the brothers together? What do you want to say?"
Zheng Yi's expression remained as still as water. Pointing at Zheng Shi, he said, "Ask him!"
All nine brothers turned to look at Zheng Shi.
Despite the pressure, Zheng Shi spoke up: "Brothers, I don't think we can keep going like this. Deceiving and cheating has no future!"
Zheng Yi ripped the rotten vegetable leaves off her head and threw them at his face: "Who are you calling a swindler?"
A vegetable leaf was stuck in Zheng Shi's hair. Zheng Shi casually removed it and calmly asked, "Then where did this vegetable leaf come from?"
Zheng Yiyi choked.
Zheng Shi said with exasperation, "Brother, don't think no one knows you're secretly playing the victim and swindling people at the market!"
"What?! Big Brother is actually faking his suffering and scamming people at the market?!" A man wearing sunglasses slammed his hand on the table in excitement. "This is outrageous!"
"Second brother, I won't hesitate to tell you about how you impersonated a fortune teller at the market!" Zheng Shi sighed.
Zheng Er immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
Zheng San glared at Zheng Shiyi, "Tenth Brother, they are still the eldest and second eldest brothers. Even if you don't approve of their actions, at least show some respect when you speak!"
Zheng Shi launched an indiscriminate attack: "Third Brother, I don't need to tell you how you got that security squad leader position, do I? Big Brother spent a lot of money to get you in there, didn't he?"
Zheng San's face flushed red, and he was defeated.
The chubby Zheng Si, who smiled like Maitreya Buddha, couldn't stand it anymore. "Tenth Brother, they are all your brothers. You should talk things out."
"The parking fees are inflated because of your inflated prices."
Zheng Si: "..."
Zheng Wu was about to say something when Zheng Shi spoke up first: "Fifth Brother, you were the one who first came up with the idea of highway robbery!"
Zheng Liu, Zheng Qi, Zheng Ba, and Zheng Jiu dared not utter a sound, fearing that the fire would spread to them.
But they clearly underestimated Zheng Shi's attack power.
"Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother, you two are in cahoots, faking accidents to extort money from pedestrians at the market. Aren't you afraid of being exposed and getting a beating one day?"
"Myna, you... never mind, you should just take good care of your myna. It's better to play with cats and birds than to cheat and swindle."
"Ninth Brother, you're the most despicable one. Originally, our organization only had ten of us brothers, but you kept recruiting people into the organization every day. Now we have to feed a thousand mouths, which has forced our eldest brother, second brother, and the other brothers to do some shady things to feed these thousand mouths!"
Zheng Jiu retorted, "Isn't my recruitment all for the purpose of developing and expanding our organization? Is all my hard work worthless in your eyes?"
Zheng Shi bluntly pointed out his flaws: "What are you planning to do with this expanded organization? Are you going to start a rebellion or conquer the world?"
Zheng Jiu: "..."
From Zheng Yi to Zheng Jiu, everyone looked ashen-faced.
Zheng Shi nodded in satisfaction and said in a pained tone, "We can't go on like this! We need to change, abandon our evil ways, give up our criminal activities, and turn back from the wrong path!"
Zheng Yi seemed to be persuaded, but still had concerns: "But our organization has so many people. How can we support them through legitimate means? You know our Robber Alliance has a bad reputation outside, and no one dares to hire us. Are we going to starve to death?"
Zheng Shi sighed: "A bad reputation is indeed a big problem, but as long as we are determined to change, we will one day be able to change other people's opinions of us."
Zheng Er mumbled incoherently, calculating with his fingers, "Transformation isn't that simple. Let me do a divination first..."
A moment later, his expression changed drastically: "This is a terrible omen! The divination indicates that if we rashly change course, it will be a very bad sign!"
Zheng Shi couldn't take it anymore: "Second brother, stop role-playing! You're not a real fortune teller!"
Zheng Er gave an awkward smile, "Uh... occupational disease, occupational disease."
Zheng Shi looked at Zheng Yi and said earnestly, "Brother, please seriously consider what I'm saying. We need to take the right path!"
After thinking for a long time, Zheng Yi finally made a decision, "Okay, then I'll do as you say! We'll transform!"
Zheng Shi was overjoyed: "Big brother, I knew you were a sensible person!"
Zheng Yi: "By the way, why did you suddenly decide to change your career path?"
Zheng Shi blushed: "I met the heroine today. She said that as long as we are on the same side, she will consider me."
Zheng Yi immediately became excited: "Have you seen Ruolan?"
"Sister-in-law?" Zheng Shi tried hard to recall, then said blankly, "I don't think so?"
He only has eyes for female knights; how could he see any other women?
The faces of those women were automatically blurred in his eyes.
Zheng Yi couldn't hide his disappointment. "Fine."
After the meeting ended, Zheng Yi left dejectedly.
Zheng Shi pulled Zheng San aside and asked in a low voice, "Third Brother, what kind of person is Sister-in-law? Why is Big Brother so hung up on her?"
Zheng San shook his head. "I've never seen it either."
"Never seen her before?" Zheng Shi asked in surprise. "Back then, you and your older brother went out on business, and your older brother met your sister-in-law. How come you didn't even know?"
Zheng San's expression suddenly turned serious. "I suspect that my sister-in-law doesn't exist at all, and is just something my brother imagined. Back then, my brother and I were together almost every day, and we never actually met Ruolan."
Zheng Shi felt a chill run down his spine. "Could it be... that my sister-in-law isn't human?"
Zheng San punched him, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods!"
Zheng Shi frowned: "That's not right. If my sister-in-law is really just something my brother imagined, then who was the person who delivered the goods to me last time? Is there really someone in this world who looks exactly like the sister-in-law that my brother imagined? That's too fantastical. Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like that."
Zheng San shook his head. "I can't explain it either."
The two brothers fell silent at the same time.
"Would you like me to tell your fortune?"
"roll!"
...
Meng Qingyin waited for three minutes before Lu Cheng sent her a message.
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "I feel like something's not right."
Meng Qingyin's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
I am the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "I feel that the pear blossom needles you forged are more powerful than mine. [Photos] The first one is mine, and the second one is yours. Take a look."
Both photos show pear blossom needles driven into tree trunks, but the difference is that in the second photo, the pear blossom needles are driven into the tree trunks near some dense, spiderweb-like cracks.
The first one doesn't have these cracks.
Mengmeng: "Was it because you used different amounts of force the two times?"
I am the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "There are some differences, after all, I can't guarantee that the force was exactly the same on both occasions, but it's impossible for the difference to be this big. And these cracks weren't caused by the force being too great. I feel that the pear blossom needles you forged are more powerful and more destructive."
Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the pear blossom needle she had crafted was up to standard.
Lu Cheng then asked, "So how did you forge it? How can it have such great power?"
Meng Qingyin was also puzzled. "I don't know. Maybe it's just a coincidence? Let me forge another one and see, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow."
I'm a lucky person (poor man's version): "Okay, no rush."
