Zhao Si stood behind a tree and watched Gu Lingfeng walk away in a cloud of dust. He patted his stomach and felt a little hungry. The lunch box he had at noon was delicious, but it was too little and he didn't feel full.
Taking out the only fifty yuan left in his pocket, Zhao Si went to the Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant as if he knew the place well. This was his new favorite delicacy, and he wished he could have two bowls of it for three meals a day.
The prices in Yanjing are really high. A bowl of beef ramen costs 38 yuan, and there are only a few thin slices of meat. Fortunately, you can refill the noodles for free, otherwise these 50 yuan would not be enough for Zhao Si to have a full meal.
While Zhao Si was happily slurping the noodles soaked in soup, he was worriedly thinking about how he would survive here with the remaining twelve yuan.
In fact, Zhao Si had several thousand yuan on him before, which was given to him by Old Man Chen in amounts of one or two hundred yuan. He saved it all and never spent it except on food, but he gave it all away when Zhang Hua came to make trouble.
He felt that he was a little bad, but also a little smart. Fortunately, he had the foresight to secretly leave fifty yuan, otherwise he would not be able to eat the beef ramen he had been craving for.
Zhao Sishen realized that he would not be able to eat these good things for a while, so under the boss's shocked and slightly disgusted gaze, he refilled his noodles five times, and finally drank all the soup, leaving him so full that he could hardly walk.
After having a full meal of soup and noodles, Zhao Si first went back to the park for a walk, looking carefully in every corner, but couldn't find Old Man Chen. Then he went to several places outside the park where they often went to eat, but still couldn't find him.
He thought that Old Man Chen might have changed parks, and he wanted to go back to the previous parks to have a look, but he couldn't remember the way. This place was too big, and the tall buildings looked similar, so he couldn't tell the direction.
He wasn't anxious about not being able to find the person. Life was long, and he felt that when the time came, he would naturally run into Old Man Chen again, just like he had with Brother Gu. No matter what, when they met next time, he would definitely ask Old Man Chen if he had really deceived him and those innocent people.
Not finding anyone, Zhao Si returned to the park, lying on a familiar bench and looking at the sky. The lights in this city were simply too bright, and they seemed free, staying on all night long. No one knew how they were lit.
The sky was also dyed bright by the halo, so bright that not a single star could be seen. Zhao Si couldn't help but think of the sea of stars and the rising sun he had seen on the mountain, as well as his master and fellow disciples whom he used to meet every day. He didn't know what his master was doing now, or whether he missed him.
Zhao Si fell into a drowsy sleep and was woken up by being splashed with water.
A bottle of water splashed onto his face. Zhao Si raised his sleeve and wiped it roughly. "Xiao Qi, stop making trouble!" He muttered, turned over, and continued to sleep.
With a "bang!", a small stone hit Zhao Si's head again. The stone was not big, but the person who threw it was very strong. Zhao Si felt a little pain and turned over impatiently, "Xiao Qi..."
A group of people surrounded Zhao Si. When they saw him wake up, they mercilessly threw things in their hands at him, including stones, vegetable leaves, water bottles and game coins that Zhao Si didn't recognize.
"fraud!"
"That's him! The liar who specializes in defrauding young girls and old ladies!"
"Yes! It's him! Beat him to death!"
Zhao Si was still a little confused when he just woke up, and he was even more dazed when he was surrounded by a group of strangers. He was hit several times before he reacted and hurriedly used his bag to protect his face. He took a few big steps and nimbly dodged the encirclement.
He explained himself as he ran, "I'm not a liar!"
He shouted sincerely, but no one believed him. They all hit him with all their might. Zhao Si ran very fast and was not hit much, but a long patch of weapons was left on the ground, showing people's anger.
Zhao Si ran out of the park in one breath, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked back. Fortunately, no one caught up with him.
He was a little confused. He had explained to the man the day before yesterday, why was he being bothered again today? He had already returned the money he had on him. In fact, these were not the same people who had come before. They were all netizens who had seen the video online yesterday and knew he was a scammer and came to scold him spontaneously.
He didn't know that when Zhang Hua came to cause trouble the day before yesterday, someone started a live broadcast and posted all the news about Zhang Hua causing trouble, fans fighting, and police arresting people on the Internet. Now he is being scolded on the Internet, and everyone knows that Old Man Chen and him have teamed up to defraud money.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who stand on Zhao Si's side, believe his words, and firmly believe that Old Man Chen also deceived him, but more people still think that Zhao Si is the mastermind and is just putting the blame on Old Man Chen in order to whitewash himself.
Zhao Si didn't have a mobile phone and didn't know how to use the Internet. He had no idea that he had been led by marketing accounts for several rounds. With popularity comes traffic, and with traffic comes money. Those people didn't care about Zhao Si's life or death and just kept leading the trend.
Zhao Si has a lot of fans, but they are just a drop in the bucket compared to the powerful passers-by. They jump up and down, control the comments until their fingers cramp, but public opinion still leans to one side without any room for negotiation. Zhao Si has now become the public enemy, and people hate him so much that he seems like a serial killer.
Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Si was sent to the park entrance by Gu Lingfeng. He wandered around without any reservation. Coupled with his alternative hairstyle and outstanding appearance, he was quickly recognized by passers-by and posted online.
It wasn't early in the morning when a small group of extreme and bored people spontaneously organized themselves and came to cause trouble for Zhao Si under the banner of eliminating harm for the people.
Zhao Si didn't know all this, but Gu Lingfeng saw it clearly. Looking at the video of Zhao Si being besieged that had just been uploaded to the Internet, he frowned.
After several contacts, although Gu Lingfeng still insisted that Zhao Si was an idiot, he felt that he had good character and should not be a liar. Even if he was a liar, he would not be to the point where everyone wanted to kill him.
