Chapter 107 Defection
But now Riemann says he has never seen a fortune teller, and Gu Ya wants to make things difficult for him, but she can't find a reason to do so.
However, her intuition told her that the fortune teller was hired by Huang Dehan, but she couldn't provide any proof.
"She's awake now, and she's alright. Shouldn't you give me the money?" the fortune teller said to Gu Ya.
"Why are you in such a hurry? My friend just woke up. How do I know if the poison has been completely removed?" Gu Ya wasn't unable to pay the 500,000 yuan; she was just unwilling to be tricked by Huang Dehan.
"Don't worry, the poison has been cured. If you're still concerned, you can look into her eyes; a person afflicted by poison will have a black line above their eyeballs," the fortune teller said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohui quickly went forward to check Riemann's eyes and found that Riemann's eyes only had some bloodshot veins, but no black lines.
"How is it? Are there any black lines?" the fortune teller asked.
“No!” Chen Xiaohui replied.
"So, can I have the money now? Or are you trying to renege on your debt?"
"What money?" Listening to their conversation, Riemann felt that the money was related to him.
Gu Ya didn't hide anything and said to Li Man, "The cost to remove the curse is 500,000."
"What? Five hundred thousand?"
Riemann was stunned; where would she get 500,000?
"Is 500,000 a lot? Isn't your life worth 500,000?" The fortune teller curled his lip, looking like he was making a fuss over nothing.
“Five hundred thousand isn’t a lot, but I think there’s something wrong with you,” Gu Ya said, staring at the fortune teller.
A flicker of panic crossed the fortune teller's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "What's wrong with me? What do you suspect me of?"
Gu Ya didn't miss the fleeting panic in the fortune teller's eyes, which made her even more certain that there was something wrong with him.
"Did Huang Dehan send you?" Gu Ya pressed.
Upon hearing Gu Ya mention Huang Dehan, Li Man belatedly realized that her curse was related to Huang Dehan.
Even if she doesn't realize it now, she'll eventually guess it's Huang Dehan, because who else would want to harm her besides him?
She was a middle-aged woman, penniless and powerless; who would want to kill her?
"Nobody asked me to come. If you don't want to pay this money, then forget it. Don't try to find reasons to doubt me; it's an insult to me!"
The fortune teller looked angry. After speaking, he made a move to leave, but after taking a few steps, seeing that no one stopped him, he turned back and said, "If you think 500,000 is too much, you can give a little less. After all, I helped you remove the curse, so you still have to give me some."
“Just tell me the truth, whether Huang Dehan sent you or not, how much money he paid you, I will give you double, and I will also give you the 500,000 you mentioned earlier, not a penny less.”
Seeing him haggling, Gu Ya knew that he was a fickle person; as long as he was given enough benefits, he would immediately switch sides.
Upon hearing this, a greedy glint flashed in the fortune teller's eyes. "How do I know if what you're saying is true or false? What if I tell you everything and you refuse to pay me?"
Gu Ya took out her phone and quietly pressed the record button. "Give me your account number, and I'll transfer the money to you right now. I'm not afraid you'll lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, your fate will be worse than my friend's!"
Thinking of Riemann's pained expression just now, the fortune teller swallowed hard and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, as long as the money is right, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
As he spoke, he quickly gave his account number.
Gu Ya transferred 500,000 yuan to him without hesitation.
Upon seeing the money arrive in his account, the fortune teller was overjoyed. "My goodness!" he exclaimed. "How many people would I have to scam under the overpass to earn this 500,000?"
