"I don't know how you won the prize, but you should know exactly how you got it. You'd better give back all the money you just won! Don't get beaten up for nothing before you think things through!"
The hip-hop kid had completely changed his tune. Just moments ago, he had been unusually docile in front of the beautiful snake boss, Su Hong'er, like an obedient little puppy. But now he was a ferocious monster, and it was hard to tell which side of him was his true nature.
"So, you and that boss lady are in cahoots? You're the legendary shill, aren't you?" Lin Chen's words were somewhat mocking, yet also sharp.
The hip-hop kid laughed smugly, "Don't put it so harshly, we now have a more stylish name, the Atmosphere Team." He shook his head, seemingly quite proud of his new identity.
Lin Chen sighed inwardly, realizing he was still too young and naive, failing to see the trickery at first!
"I knew it! Why would they let me go so easily? They had a backup plan! But I'm curious, the shoes aren't with me anymore. Why didn't you go ask that skateboarder for them? Why are you chasing after me?" Lin Chen's words were tinged with doubt.
"Nonsense! What do you think?" The hip-hop youth waved his hand impatiently.
"That skateboarder kid is one of yours too?!" Lin Chen's voice was tinged with shock. He had heard before of people creating stock trading groups, claiming to have insider information, only to find that out of fifty people in the group, forty-nine were shills, all to scam the one real person! Now it seemed he had gotten caught up in this mess!
"Originally, Sister Hong was willing to spend 30,000 yuan to buy your prize. If you had agreed, you wouldn't have taken the money, but at least you would have avoided a beating! But you're really greedy, daring to ask for 100,000 yuan? Hmph, if I don't cripple one of your hands today, I'll be letting Sister Hong down!" The hip-hop boy's words carried a hint of threat.
"After all this talk, you're still just that boss lady's little lapdog, aren't you? Biting people indiscriminately just to protect your master, huh?" Lin Chen's words were laced with sarcasm.
"You brat, what did you say? Say it again!!" The hip-hop boy seemed to have been hit where it hurt. He had been keeping his composure just now, but now he was about to explode! Even the few henchmen behind him couldn't help but laugh, which made the hip-hop boy feel very embarrassed.
"You brat, let me tell you, hand over the 100,000 yuan right now, and then I'll cripple one of your hands before this is over!" The hip-hop youth even pulled out an iron rod, while his thugs behind him each took out some bricks or batons. Judging from their posture, this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this.
Lin Chen had to admit that this guy was shameless, or rather, that boss, Su Hong'er, was utterly shameless. Setting up the first prize in a hidden compartment where no one could reach it was already shameless enough, but who would have thought they'd also bring in a bunch of so-called "atmosphere teams" to act as shills and create a false sense of prosperity?
If that's all, then there are even some thugs and thugs acting as a final insurance policy to ensure that the first prize won't be taken by someone else!
It's truly astonishing how shameless he can be. Lin Chen felt that perhaps only his own family could rival Su Hong'er in this regard.
Thinking about this, Lin Chen suddenly had a new idea. A smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the hip-hop youth and his gang of thugs.
"Enough talk. Go over there and cripple one of his hands first, then slowly make him cough up the money. No rush, we have plenty of time!" The hip-hop youth grinned sinisterly, waving his fist at his henchmen behind him.
Several henchmen, brandishing their weapons, slowly approached Lin Chen. Since there was a dead end behind him, Lin Chen stopped pretending. "Since there's no one around," he thought, "let's see how effective my awakened divine power is!"
He closed his eyes, focused his energy in his dantian, and slowly raised and lowered his hands. After taking a deep breath, he felt his body fill with heat! An unprecedented power surged within him!
Seeing this, the thugs couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Is this kid scared out of his wits? He's actually starting to circulate his qi? Does he think he can beat us down with his qigong... Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"
Before the henchman could finish speaking, Lin Chen suddenly raised his palm and exerted force from two meters away—the henchman was sent flying backward like a cannonball!
Because he was walking at the front, his henchmen behind him also suffered the consequences. They were all sent flying to either side like cannonballs by their leader! He lay motionless on the ground, blood trickling from his mouth; he had already passed out.
"Who says there's no such thing as Qigong in this world? If you want to learn, you can become my disciples, and I might not necessarily refuse to teach you," Lin Chen said in a low voice. He then closed his eyes again, made a gesture, and began to focus his Qi into his dantian.
With his perception fully activated, Lin Chen discovered that the remaining people were all incredibly shocked, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes. Apart from the hip-hop youth in the lead, the rest were having second thoughts.
Just by raising your hand, you can knock someone out like a cannonball? I've only ever seen that on TV!
The hip-hop youth in the lead was also somewhat shocked, but he was, after all, the leader of this group, and he knew that he had to get the money back this time, otherwise how could he explain it to Su Hong'er?
Although Su Hong'er might not punish him, disappointing the goddess in his heart would be more painful for the hip-hop boy than killing him!
So when he thought of Su Hong'er's words, the hip-hop boy suddenly felt full of energy again!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, that must have been an illusion! Let's all attack together, he definitely can't do anything about it!" The hip-hop boy started cheering on the remaining henchmen, even brainwashing them.
"I didn't expect you to be such a romantic? Is this the power of love?" Lin Chen looked at the hip-hop youth and felt a pang of pity. This reminded him of Ning Jiaqi, the deputy mayor's daughter, on the long-distance bus. He had also risked his life to protect her back then. Could it be that he had fallen for her too?
No, no! She was clearly protecting herself! Could it be that she has feelings for me?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"Boss, how can we tolerate this kid laughing at us?" One of the henchmen took Lin Chen's silly grin as mockery and decided to go all out! They might as well fight for their pride!
