Free Web NovelChapter 1388: Chapter 1475: Faces Are Known, Hearts Are Not
"Oh, yes, I’ve heard things have been going well in Miaojiang these past two years. My wife said she wants to check it out!"
Su Xuan said casually, his voice refined. On the train, several women glanced at their boyfriends sternly and then said,
"Look at that guy, so handsome and thoughtful, even taking his girlfriend on a trip to Miaojiang. And then look at you, not only not good-looking but also miserly."
"Hey, brother, you’re right. The development in the Southern Border has indeed been great these years. Come find me when you get there, and I’ll make sure to show you around the scenic spots!"
The big man said with a sincere smile on his face. Su Xuan smiled lightly and nodded at him, forming a rather good impression for now.
"Brother, do you smoke? This is a special product from Miaojiang!"
The big man said as he took out a pack of cigarettes. Su Xuan smiled lightly and said,
"I don’t smoke much, but thank you!"
Su Xuan actually only smokes to play with smoke rings. He doesn’t have an addiction. Besides, it’s not appropriate to smoke in the carriage, so it didn’t even cross his mind.
"Is that so? Not smoking is good. Oh, brother, do you drink? This is self-brewed, aged liquor!"
The big man said as he rummaged through his bag for a bottle of liquor and took out two cups. Su Xuan felt a bit embarrassed seeing the man’s enthusiasm, despite feeling a bit bad.
But just as the big man was pouring the liquor, Lu Li frowned, because Su Xuan could sense something was wrong with the liquor!
Curiously eyeing the big man again, Su Xuan thought, "I didn’t see that coming, almost got fooled. His lips curved into a cold smile."
Su Xuan placed his hand over the bottle’s opening, and a wave of Dark Strength flowed through, isolating the substances in the water instantly.
"Well, thank you, I’ll have a bit of this liquor!"
Su Xuan said, raising his cup to drink the liquor, wondering what tricks this guy had up his sleeve, daring to play games with him!
At first, Su Xuan really didn’t think anything was wrong with this guy. To be honest, he always thought this guy was just a migrant worker, but it turned out the liquor he offered was suspicious. Upon checking, the substance in the liquor seemed to cause hallucination, making someone mentally disoriented once consumed.
When Su Xuan drank the liquor, the drunk man showed a smug smile. After about three minutes, the big man suddenly squatted down to rummage through his bag and shouted,
"My money is missing, my money is missing. Who stole my money! That’s the hard-earned money for my father’s treatment!"
The big man said with tears streaming, invoking a wave of sympathy from the crowd, who felt that whoever did this was heartless, to the point of stealing that kind of money.
"Brother, when was the last time you saw your money?"
At this moment, a man looked at the big man and quickly asked.
"I saw it just now when I was sitting here. I even checked to make sure. Oh my, who did it! Please, give it back. It’s life-saving money!"
This big man’s acting was indeed convincing. Su Xuan smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. So, this was why he placed his bag near Su Xuan, to frame him. Su Xuan remembered the guy squatting a few times, which must have been when he planted the money in Su Xuan’s bag. It’s true what they say: you can know someone’s face but not their heart.
Su Xuan realized that if he hadn’t sensed the problem in the liquor and really drank it, he would be too disoriented to argue. He wouldn’t even have the strength to stand up, and could only be at their mercy.
Thinking about it, Su Xuan felt that people nowadays could really be horrible. At first, he had a good impression of this guy, but now, he realized the man was full of deceit, even more cunning than himself, which was saying something, considering Su Xuan was usually good at reading people. Typically, no one escapes his insight.
However, when this guy first arrived, Su Xuan really didn’t see anything wrong. Thinking about it now, it seems the world is really crazy.
Since this guy likes to play games, Su Xuan decided to play along. At this moment, Su Xuan pretended to appear slightly disoriented and sent a wave of Dark Strength into his backpack, quickly discovering around one hundred thousand yuan inside, thinking, "Damn, you’re really trying to push me into a pit."
Further inspecting, Su Xuan found no special markers in the money, smirking coldly and thinking, "Today, you’re going to experience loss upon loss." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Brother, how much money did you lose!"
That man asked angrily. Su Xuan shot him a cold look, thinking he was probably in on it too; they really made an act of it.
"A total of one hundred thousand yuan, one hundred thousand yuan! Big brother, this money is really life-saving money, I’m begging you all, please give it back, I’ll even kneel!"
This guy’s act of pretentiousness was somewhat impressive to Su Xuan, truly brazen. If Su Xuan hadn’t known about the drug in the liquor, he wouldn’t have suspected the man at all.
"This is outrageous, everyone let’s help! We can’t let such shameless people get away. I’ve been here all along, I noticed too. No one has left our carriage, so it should’ve been stolen just now. Let’s all cooperate, one hundred thousand yuan isn’t a small matter!"
The man at this moment appeared as a beacon of justice, and the big man, moved, was sobbing.
"Thank you, big brother, really, thank you."
In such moments, no one minds being searched if it means clearing their name, after all, that’s more important.
"Everyone, take out your bags!" freёweɓnovel.com
The man, embodying justice said, making many feel reassured that this world indeed still had people filled with a sense of justice.
At this point, everyone’s bags were searched, and they found nothing. One hundred thousand yuan is not a small sum. In the end, only Su Xuan was left, who appeared weak, drawing everyone’s attention.
"Brother, take out your bag too!"
Looking at Su Xuan, the justice embodiment said coldly. At that moment, looking at the guy, Su Xuan really wanted to laugh. Many foolish people like this exist in society. This guy was just an accomplice, and there are many who get used by others, becoming fools too.
