Scam (Part 2)
"This …" The crew cut guy was put in a difficult position. He touched his pocket subconsciously and said, "I don't have that much money with me. How about you give me thirty thousand, and you can go and claim the prize!"
"I don't have that either! What should I do … "The freckled guy frowned and said," Look at me. Do I look like someone who can fork out thirty thousand? "
"Teacher, please think of something for us. We don't have that much money with us!" The freckled guy asked the glasses guy for help again.
The glasses guy thought for a while and said, "How about I give each of you thirty thousand, and you give me the ring, and I'll claim the prize?"
The freckled guy and the crew cut guy looked at each other. They felt that they could still get thirty thousand each, so they agreed. "Okay, let's do that!"
The bespectacled man suddenly revealed a look of delight. Then, he took his briefcase and began to look for money. At first, his expression was still very happy. However, as the speed at which he rummaged through the bag increased, the man's expression became uglier and uglier. Beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead. Finally, he sighed and said, "Oh no, I didn't bring much money when I went out today. I only have thirty thousand yuan! You guys won't sell it either. I'm so unlucky to see the money disappear just like that! "
"Huh?" The freckled guy and the crew cut guy were dumbfounded. The glasses guy didn't bring any money, and neither did they. How were they going to split the prize? The freckled guy couldn't sit still anymore. "Teacher, you're knowledgeable and cultured. Please help us think of something …"
"Sigh, how about this? Ask someone else …" The glasses guy said and turned his face to Lin Yi. "Young man, this is a golden opportunity to get rich. Do you have money? Give each of them thirty thousand first, then you take the ring and claim the prize. You'll earn twenty thousand in one go! Is there a better way to make money than this? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't bring any money, I would've done this myself … "
Previously, Lin Yi had been coldly watching the three of them acting. It was obvious that the three of them were in cahoots. The pockmarked man was party A, the crew cut was party B, and the bespectacled man was supporting them.
Although Lin Yi grew up in the mountains, he was not a fool. Don't be fooled by his rustic attire. In terms of knowledge, not many people were his match, let alone these three scammers.
"Me?" Lin Yi pretended to be surprised and pointed at himself. "Can I?"
"Alright, now this good thing has fallen upon your head!" Hearing Lin Yi ask if he could, instead of saying that he had no money, the bespectacled man was overjoyed. After all, if he said that, there was an 80% chance that he had goods in his bag.
Lin Yi just wanted to say something, but he felt that his leg was kicked by someone. Lin Yi glanced at his right side. It was a very beautiful girl who was about the same age as Lin Yi.
Her hair was like water, and her skin was white. Although she didn't stand up, according to Lin Yi's visual estimation, the girl was at least about 1.65 meters tall. She was considered tall.
After getting on the train, she listened to the mp3 quietly. Lin Yi wanted to strike up a conversation with her to relieve boredom on the way, but the girl had been wearing earplugs, so Lin Yi couldn't do anything.
At this moment, the girl was looking at Lin Yi anxiously. She wanted to say something, but she had some scruples. She could only hint to Lin Yi with her eyes.
Lin Yi naturally knew what the girl meant. She didn't want him to be fooled. Lin Yi's heart suddenly warmed. Didn't they say that people in big cities were very indifferent? When they saw that it had nothing to do with them, they would just ignore it. The girl could remind me, which means that she has a good heart.
Therefore, the girl's image in Lin Yi's mind suddenly increased a few points. It was important for a girl to be beautiful, but if she was vicious, then it was useless to be beautiful. This was Lin Yi's standard for judging girls.
"Cough, cough!" The girl with the crew cut opposite the girl seemed to notice the girl's behavior. She suddenly coughed loudly and glared at the girl. The girl was scared and lowered her head.
Of course, these small details naturally couldn't escape Lin Yi's eyes. However, Lin Yi was bored on the journey. He had a stomach full of anger with the old man at home. He had nowhere to vent it. Just a few fools came to the door. How could Lin Yi miss this opportunity to tease them?
However, although the girl lowered her head, she still kicked Lin Yi with her feet to warn him. However, Lin Yi didn't seem to feel it. He was not moved at all.
"I only have forty-nine thousand. I don't have that much!" Lin Yi pretended to be honest and said truthfully.
When the pockmarked face and the crew cut opposite heard that Lin Yi had forty-nine thousand, their eyes suddenly shot a brilliant light. However, their faces were still bitter. "It's only forty-nine thousand. Isn't it a little less? How much can we each get? "
"Forty-nine thousand divided by two is twenty-four thousand five hundred …" The crew cut calculated.
"Twenty-four thousand five hundred? It's not bad. I agree. What about you? "After the pockmarked face listened, he nodded quickly.
"Okay, since you agree, then I also agree." The crew cut nodded and said, "Give me the money."
Lin Yi opened his backpack and took out a small bag wrapped in newspaper. He opened it layer by layer and revealed five stacks of banknotes.
"This is forty-nine thousand. That's all … You guys count it." Lin Yi said very honestly. "You guys give me the ring pull!"
This money was the living expenses that the old man gave to Lin Yi for the next N years. In the past few years, Lin Yi had earned a lot of money for the old man. For example, the assassination mission in North Africa last time. According to international practice, he should have been paid at least a few hundred thousand.
However, before he left, the old man rummaged through a broken bag and found this forty-nine thousand yuan. He claimed that this was all the money he had at home and asked him to use it sparingly.
This made Lin Yi very depressed. Was the old man really poor or was he pretending to be poor? However, it didn't seem like he was pretending. The old man ate the same as me every day. I didn't see him enjoying anything. Could it be that I overestimated the rewards of those missions?
"Okay, okay!" The pockmarked face and the crew cut were like hungry wolves. They divided the banknotes in front of them and passed the ring to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi carefully kept the ring on his body, afraid to lose it. He was as careful as a treasure.
Seeing that the three scammers had succeeded, the girl sitting next to Lin Yi sighed helplessly. Looking at Lin Yi's excited face, the girl really didn't know what to say.
