Super Strong Little Divine Farmer
Chapter 428 - 429: The Scam Artist Expert
Red Hair stopped in his tracks, his gaze icy as he stared at Lin Chen, "Kid, don't you push me too far."
Lin Chen responded with a cold smile, "Too far? Just now you even swindled an old man, aren't you the one going too far?"
"That old man is over sixty years old, still supporting himself and his family with his own labor, and what about you? Young and living by swindling, deceiving, and causing accidents on purpose, aren't you the ones who are excessive?" Lin Chen said in a cold voice.
"What exactly do you want?" Red Hair asked, his face reddening.
Lin Chen smiled faintly and approached the elderly man.
"Elder, do you feel unwell anywhere? Is your heart hurting, blood pressure rising?"
"Ah, look at that fall you took, your leg must certainly be broken!"
"Oh my, your junky car, it even got a scratch on the paint! This car must have been with you for decades, you must be so heartbroken!"
Listening to Lin Chen's righteously indignant words, the group was dumbfounded.
If this guy started scamming, he would definitely be a master.
Lin Chen said to Red Hair, "I'm not going to extort you, just pay ten thousand yuan and we'll call it even."
"Ten thousand?" Red Hair's complexion suddenly changed.
"This old man is completely fine, and you're demanding ten thousand from me, you're the scammer!" Red Hair said angrily.
"If you're not willing, that's fine, we'll wait for the police to come and talk sense. I've heard that the police have been cracking down hard on car accident scams recently, getting caught could mean a sentence of a year or two," Lin Chen said lightly.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Red Hair's face suddenly changed. A year or two, he had been in prison before, and he never wanted to set foot in that miserable place again.
At that moment, the sound of police sirens approached from the distance, causing another sudden change in Red Hair's expression.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Ah, the police car will be here soon, have you made up your mind?"
Grinding his teeth, Red Hair said, "You're ruthless!"
He then turned and shouted at the others, "What are you looking at? Take out all the money in your pockets and pool it together."
In the end, they scraped together a total of over nine thousand eight hundred yuan.
Then, looking pitifully, Red Hair said, "Big brother, that's all the money we have."
Lin Chen weighed the money in his hand, laughed, and said, "You're still hiding two hundred under your shoe, aren't you?"
Damn it!
Red Hair's face suddenly changed. How did this guy know he hid money under his shoe? That was the little savings he'd hidden from his wife.
After grinding his teeth, Red Hair took out the two hundred yuan he had hidden under his shoe.
Only then did Lin Chen nod, handed back over twenty-some yuan in change to Red Hair, "Go fix your car paint, and from now on, do some honest business, you hear me."
The sound of the police sirens grew nearer, and Red Hair, with a dark look on his face, did not take the money but hurriedly asked, "Big brother, can you let us go now?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Of course, you can go."
Red Hair and his crew, relieved like prisoners pardoned, drove off at full throttle in the banged-up BYD Lin Chen had smashed.
Not long after they left, a police car sped past them with sirens blaring.
Li Xiaoru blinked and said, "You didn't actually make a police report just now, did you? You were just scaring them?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Guilty conscience."
Turning around, Lin Chen handed the ten thousand yuan to the old man, "Here, take this money. Next time you run into trouble, don't panic; find the police and report it."
The old man looked at him with a grateful yet embarrassed face, "Young man, it's my fault, I even called you a bad guy just now."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "It's nothing. Take the money and ride your bike a little slower next time."
"I can't take this money," the elderly man said, waving his hands, refusing to accept the money no matter what.
Lin Chen finally shoved the money into the old man's pocket and dragged Li Xiaoru away from the scene.
Watching Lin Chen's retreating figure, the old man's hands trembled as he held the money: "What a good person!"
The two returned to the Jetta, with Li Xiaoru propping her cheeks and blinking as she stared at Lin Chen.
"You really can put on quite a show, you even fooled me."
Lin Chen replied with a faint smile, "Brother is naturally a master of pretense, dealing with these little thieves didn't even allow me to show off my highest level of skill."
"Hmph, give you a little sunshine and you shine, what exactly do you do? You're so amazing, you even smashed the car's front hood with one punch," Li Xiaoru asked curiously.
Lin Chen smiled mysteriously, "Actually, I'm Steel Hero. Would the beauty like to be my assistant?"
"Steel Hero?" The girl chuckled.
"If you're Steel Hero, then I must be Wonder Woman."
Seeing the girl laugh charmingly, Lin Chen secretly sighed to himself, finding her really beautiful when she smiled.
"My name is Lin Chen. How should I address Wonder Woman?" Lin Chen asked with a smile, extending his hand.
Li Xiaoru blushed and extended her soft hand to shake hands with Lin Chen: "My name is Li Xiaoru."
"Xiao Ru?" I think they're quite big, not small at all.
Li Xiaoru paused, and understanding the implication behind Lin Chen's sly gaze, she realized what he meant.
This jerk, he misheard 'Xiaoru' as 'Xiaoru'. No, this guy did it on purpose.
"Your joke isn't funny at all," Li Xiaoru said with an annoyed look.
Lin Chen said earnestly, "I'm not joking, I'm very serious."
Watching Li Xiaoru's trembling anger, Lin Chen enjoyed the moment.
All the way, Lin Chen talked non-stop, and the two gradually became more acquainted.
Li Xiaoru asked with a smile, "Lin Chen, do you really live in Bright Moon Garden?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Of course, but it's my first day there, I came to be a bodyguard."
"A bodyguard?" Li Xiaoru paused, then looked at Lin Chen with a weird expression.
"You aren't going to be the bodyguard for the Xiao sisters, are you?"
Lin Chen nodded, "How do you know?"
Li Xiaoru looked at Lin Chen with pity, "I have a piece of advice for you, just turn around and go back!"
"Why? Are the two sisters that scary? I've seen their photos: the younger sister seems gentle and cute, the older sister is definitely an ice beauty," Lin Chen said with a smile, picturing the two beauties in the photos.
Li Xiaoru gave Lin Chen a strange look, "You're only half right, the older sister is indeed an ice beauty. But if you think the younger sister is gentle and cute, then you're mistaken, and you're going to end up in a lot of pain."
"Is it that serious?" Lin Chen asked curiously, observing the expression on Li Xiaoru's face.
Li Xiaoru smiled faintly, "I've been neighbors with these sisters for over a decade; I know them well. The younger sister is mischievous and full of mischief; she's given a hard time to all the bodyguards before you."
Lin Chen replied with a light smile, "That's not a problem, as long as they're beauties, that's enough for me. I'm not very picky."
"Ah, here's where I get off, just ahead is the Xiao family's villa. Are you sure you want to go in?" Li Xiaoru asked again before getting out of the car.
"Of course, I'm obligated to go in, I'm a man with a sense of responsibility," Lin Chen said earnestly.
Li Xiaoru shook her head helplessly. Although Lin Chen was somewhat lecherous, from his act of helping the elderly, it was clear he was a good person.
It's a pity, who knows what kind of mess this guy will get into shortly.
Lin Chen parked the car outside the Xiao family's house, looking at the grand villa with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Xiao Ziting! I want to see what kind of tricks this little missy can play in front of me!"
