"Well..." Shen Suanzi’s gaze swept around the surroundings, then came up with an idea, "Do you see the sign of that restaurant and the man in the green robe? In a moment, the sign will fall and hit that man’s head."
The two turned their heads to look, and Lu Ming immediately chuckled, "You mustn’t think we’re three-year-old children. The man in the green robe has already passed that restaurant. So, how will the sign hit his head? Maybe it has legs and will fly over."
Shen Suanzi just smiled without speaking, quietly observing what would happen. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Chu Lingjun also looked puzzled. Then, they saw the man in green quietly sidle up to an old lady and deftly steal her purse.
Lu Ming was about to step forward to intercept but was stopped by Shen Suanzi.
Then, the man, cheerfully holding the purse, turned around and walked towards the restaurant. Just as he reached the entrance, the sign above wobbled, suddenly fell, and indeed hit him on the head.
Passersby came forward to watch, and the old lady happened to see that the purse in the man’s hand was hers.
Immediately, she rushed forward to snatch the purse back and shouted that the man was a thief. Others also came forward to testify that he indeed stole her money.
The passersby, who initially had some sympathy for the man with the broken head and the blood still flowing, now looked at him with disdain, cursing that he deserved it, that it was karma... fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Lu Ming opened his mouth wide with surprise, exclaiming, "You really predicted it... My goodness, you’re amazing!"
He then remembered what Shen Suanzi had said earlier, "Young Master, what should we do? You couldn’t possibly have a misfortune today, right? We’ve just come... out; we can’t possibly return immediately, can we?"
Chu Lingjun also believed what Shen Suanzi said and immediately showed a hint of panic, pulling on his sleeve and saying, "Master, would you come home with me? My parents have sent me out to gain experience and won’t let me return unless enough time has passed. If you can convince them, I can avoid going out."
This idea was simply too good. He wanted to return to the palace immediately and didn’t want to be sent out to gain experience at such a young age.
And so, Shen Suanzi followed them into the Imperial Palace.
Chu Lingjun suspected that Shen Suanzi had already figured out his identity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown no surprise at all upon entering the palace.
He also had a bad feeling that this person might have come with a plan...
