At this moment, the shop owner, Su Hong'er, was not idle either. Seizing the opportunity, she grabbed Lin Chen and pulled him to a corner of the shop. In a threatening and coercive tone, she whispered urgently, "Kid, I don't know what mysterious method you used to get me this first prize, but I have to tell you, if you don't leave these shoes behind, you won't be leaving this shop today!"
Faced with Su Hong'er's threat, Lin Chen, adhering to the principle of becoming stronger when confronted with strength, stood tall without fear: "Boss sister, don't scare me! If you keep doing this, I'm really going to call the police!"
"You dare!" Su Hong'er's eyes widened, but when she saw Lin Chen was really about to take out his phone, she immediately backed down and her momentum weakened.
When force didn't work, Su Hong'er had to resort to a softer approach. She rubbed her eyes, her voice trembling with tears, "Young man, you have no idea how much effort I poured into this shop, and how much money I even had to borrow to open it."
Without these signature sneakers, my store would definitely struggle to stay afloat... What if I went bankrupt? Can you really bear to see that happen?
Lin Chen swallowed hard. How could someone his age and experience resist such a "gentle offensive"? If it were those hip-hop kids and skateboarders over there, they might have already emptied their pockets to protect Su Hong'er!
But Lin Chen forced himself to calm down and said, "Boss, it's not that serious. A woman as capable and resourceful as you wouldn't care about a pair of sneakers. Millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of assets are waiting for you in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Su Hong'er stopped feigning tears. Looking at the seemingly foolish boy in front of her, she finally understood—he was clearly playing dumb to fool her! She had been tricked and fallen for his scheme!
Seeing that people were still bidding and urging Lin Chen to close the deal quickly, Su Hong'er gritted her teeth and had no choice but to use her trump card.
She pulled out a VIP room key for the Jinzuo Chain Hotel and said enticingly, "If you promise me, you can use this room key without limit for a month! Of course, I won't let you stay alone!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen already felt dizzy. He could only lean against the wall to steady himself, while constantly telling himself, "Lin Chen, you must hold on, you must resist the temptation! Don't trust women's words. Think about how Lin Ruoyue and Lin Ruoyan tricked you!"
Once you have money, what woman can't you find? This is your first pot of gold! So you must hold on!
Su Hong'er noticed Lin Chen's struggle and hesitation, so she took a gamble and lightly stepped on his foot with her high heel. Her main purpose was to make her black stockings cling even closer to Lin Chen's thigh…
At the same time, she said in a gentler tone, "Handsome young man, you really need to think this through carefully~ Shoes or me, which one do you choose?"
Lin Chen swallowed hard and said firmly, "Don't worry, boss, if you really go bankrupt in the future, I'll support you!"
After saying that, he immediately shook off Su Hong'er and returned to the crowd! Su Hong'er was stunned for a moment before she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in anger!
In the end, the first prize ticket in Lin Chen's hand was bought by the skateboarding boy for 100,000 yuan. That means Lin Chen bought a vest for 80 yuan and immediately won 100,000 yuan! That skateboarding boy is really rich; it is said that his skateboard alone cost tens of thousands of yuan.
He directly asked Lin Chen to give him his account number, and within a few minutes, Lin Chen's bank card showed that 100,000 yuan had been deposited into his account!
Then Lin Chen came and went quietly, without taking a single lottery ticket. As for the resentful look in the eyes of the mature and sophisticated boss, Su Hong'er, Lin Chen pretended not to see it. Now that the shoes were no longer in his possession, she probably wouldn't keep bothering him anymore, right? The subsequent events should be irrelevant to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was genuinely overwhelmed by the sudden influx of money. This was the first huge sum he had ever received in his life! Compared to his previous living expenses of only 300 yuan a month when he was with the Lin family, which was worth billions, this was a tremendous irony! He couldn't wait to let the Lin family know about it right now!
Lin Chen wasn't a stingy person. The first thing he did after getting money was to ensure a good life for those around him. Those people were Wang Nanshan.
However, as Lin Chen prepared to visit some shops, he noticed something unusual. It seemed someone was following him. But this was a busy commercial street with many people coming and going; how could he possibly tell if someone was truly following him?
Lin Chen activated his Insight Technique and focused on the direction his intuition indicated as the pursuers. By carefully discerning the various sounds, Lin Chen quickly located the origins of those people.
After roughly understanding the reason, Lin Chen could only smile wryly. It was indeed because he had been noticed while he was drawing lots. Although he had tried his best to keep a low profile, he had still been targeted.
Lin Chen continued searching for something suitable to eat. He not only wanted to nourish Wang Nanshan, but he also wanted a good meal himself. Although he deliberately chose a concealed location, hoping to lose track of them, these people were like chewing gum—once they got there, they wouldn't budge.
He circled around for an hour without managing to avoid them. Finally, Lin Chen decided to give up. He looked at his arm, clenched his fist, and felt his strength.
The last time he took action was on a long-distance bus. This was his first time, and he didn't have much experience. This time... he went directly to a much quieter place with very few people around.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Chen entered, he was blocked by people from both the front and the back, a total of seven people. However, six of them were probably just a few idle thugs from the neighborhood. It was the one in the lead who caught Lin Chen's attention. Because the leader was none other than that hip-hop teenager!
"Hey kid, I want to talk to you about something." The hip-hop youth stepped forward, treating Lin Chen like a piece of meat already in their mouths. Judging from Lin Chen's appearance, he was either a high school student or a freshman who had just entered university.
Both types are easy to identify and easy to bully. They've done extortion on the road countless times, so they're quite adept at it.
"It's you? What's wrong?" Lin Chen looked at the seven people in front of him and already knew what was going on. He knew he couldn't easily show weakness, otherwise these people would become even more arrogant. So he straightened his back, ready to face the challenge ahead.
