Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Ancestor’s Spirit is Truly Effective
Mr. Cao exclaimed in shock through the phone.
Not only Mr. Cao, but even Xia Xin was startled.
Eight hundred thousand, doubled, that makes one million six hundred thousand…
Realizing the astronomical figure, Xia Xin’s legs went weak, and he almost fell over. The, the ancestor really dares to name a price.
“Master… isn’t this price a bit too high?” Although Mr. Cao was wealthy, this price was exorbitant, and he couldn’t suppress his pain.
Jiangli clicked his tongue and said, “This is my price right now. If Mr. Cao doesn’t want to live anymore, then forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. I have other things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave, oh.”
With that, Jiangli tossed the phone back to Xia Xin.
Xia Xin grabbed his phone in a frenzy and looked toward Jiangli. He was about to say that the price was indeed too high, and that perhaps it could be reduced.
After all, they were in need of money right now, and earning even a bit more would help.
However, before Xia Xin could say a word, Mr. Cao shouted from the other end of the line.
“No no no! Master, I, I don’t want to die! One million six hundred thousand then one million six hundred thousand!” he cried out: “I’ll transfer the money to you right now! But, can you come over as soon as possible, I, I’m too scared to stay alone…”
Jiangli said, “Once the one million six hundred thousand arrives, I will set off immediately.”
Hearing this, Mr. Cao didn’t dare to say anything more and promptly went to transfer the funds.
About a few minutes later, Xia Xin received an SMS notification of a hefty amount. Seeing the six zeros, he nearly passed out.
Fu Shiyan had previously given them eight hundred thousand, and now they received another one million six hundred thousand!
The ancestor made over two million in just one day!
Clearing debts was within sight; what was there to worry about?!
Xia Xin almost could love the ancestor to death.
The ancestor was not only a deity but also a lucky cat!
With this thought, he excitedly exclaimed, “Anc, ancestor, the money has arrived, it has arrived!”
Compared to him, Jiangli was remarkably calm, “Then let’s set off.”
Xia Xin nodded repeatedly, “Alrighty, I’m off to hail a cab! After a while, we must buy our own car. It would make going places so much more convenient!”
He said this as he excitedly ran out.
Just as Jiangli and Xia Xin were heading out to meet Mr. Cao, there were new developments with Fu Shiyan and the others.
After leaving Jiaoyang Temple, Fu Shiyan and Duan Jianchuan, along with Wen Zishu, took the information of the girl who had deceived Wen Zishu and found her at a hotel.
As Jiangli had said, the girl was a habitual offender and must be short on cash now, having deceived many guys into meeting her.
With the help of Fu Shiyan and Duan Jianchuan, Wen Zishu managed to locate a surveillance camera to confirm which room she was in. During her act of deceit, they called the police and caught her with her accomplices.
At the police station, in front of the monitors and the testimony of Wen Zishu and another person who they had almost scammed, the culprits admitted their wrongdoing quite quickly.
They bluntly said they were in great debt and had no money, which is why they came up with this scheme.
The two men who were conspiring with the girl, one of them indeed her boyfriend and the other her boyfriend’s brother, claimed it was the boyfriend’s idea to use this tactic.
Wen Zishu heard this and couldn’t help but laugh in anger, “Nowadays, there really are people who, in order to pay back debts, make their women do such things. Does he enjoy being cuckolded so much? This really pisses me off!”
“Don’t be angry,” said Fu Shiyan calmly. “You’re lucky, they haven’t spent that sum of money yet; it can all be returned to you.”
Wen Zishu muttered, “I’m not angry over the money!”
That little amount of money was the least of his concerns!
What he truly hated was being deceived!
And he found these people utterly ridiculous!
