Chapter 242 – Missing Something
Sun Jingyi curled her lips, not believing Lin Yi's words.
Lin Yi's' skills' were decent, that much Sun Jingyi believed. Even the heir of the Iron Fist House of Wu had fallen at Lin Yi's hands, and that was a testament to how skilled Lin Yi was.
But as skilled as he was, Sun Jingyi didn't believe that Lin Yi's uncle-master was the world's best thief. If he was, then Lin Yi wouldn't have been able to survive in a small city like Songshan. Wasn't he a bit too poor for that?
Just how rich would the world's best thief have to be?
His uncle-master was a thief, but his master wasn't. What kind of weird sect was that?
So Sun Jingyi took Lin Yi's words as a bluff.
"Alright. If you're sure that you're willing to take half of the price, then I'll agree!" Sun Jingyi said. "But you can't go back on your word!"
Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the weird expression on Jingyi's face. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. Was there something wrong with this? But when he thought about it, there didn't seem to be anything wrong!
Was the price the other party was offering really low? But that didn't seem possible. If the price wasn't high, why would Sun Jingyi come all the way here to look for him? Why would she offer him a high price?
Lin Yi had a feeling that something was wrong here, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Hey, are you going to agree or not?" Jingyi was starting to panic. "Little handsome, you're younger than me, but you're a man! A man's words are like water that's been spilled, and a man's words are like spilled water! A gentleman's word is a promise!"
"Ah … alright, I won't go back on my word! I'll take half of what the other party offers! " Lin Yi felt a little helpless. He was indeed the one who said it. If he went back on his words, it wouldn't be right.
"Alright, remember what you said!" Sun Jingyi was a little excited. Lin Yi actually agreed. "Let's go eat first. We'll talk while eating. I'll bring you to a good place!"
Looking at the incomparably excited Sun Jingyi, Lin Yi's heart sank. He increasingly felt that there was definitely a problem here. He didn't know what he had overlooked … However, since he couldn't figure it out, Lin Yi didn't bother thinking about it. At most, he would just waste this time. Stealing a piece of information wasn't a difficult task.
Sun Jingyi's so-called good place turned out to be a food stall on the street, which made Lin Yi a little speechless! He thought that Sun Jingyi would invite him to some high class hotel or something.
Sun Jingyi parked the car in the free parking space on the side. In fact, it was on the roadside without a no parking sign. She got off the car with Lin Yi. "It's this place. The authentic spicy skewers are very delicious!"
"…" Lin Yi was a little speechless, but … he really liked to eat this thing.
"Boss, give me a small basin!" Sun Jingyi asked for a small basin from the boss of the spicy skewers with ease. Then, she began to pick out the skewers from the cart. She said to Lin Yi while she was picking, "What do you like to eat? Take it yourself! After eating, we'll count the number of sticks together. "
Lin Yi smiled and began to fill the small basin with spicy skewers with Sun Jingyi. After a while, the basin was filled with spicy skewers.
The two of them found an empty table and sat down. Sun Jingyi began to add seasoning to the spicy skewers.
"Take the money, take the money!" As soon as Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi sat down, several burly men came over and scolded the boss of the spicy skewers.
"Brother Scar, didn't you just take the money a few days ago …" When the boss of the spicy skewers saw these people, his face suddenly changed, and he ran over with a smile.
"A few days ago? It was Brother Niu's mother's birthday a few days ago. You took the money as a gift. Today's is the protection fee! "One of the men with a scar in a vest said impatiently.
"This …" The boss's expression froze. Although he knew that this guy might be lying, he had to lower his head when he was under someone else's roof. This scar-faced man was a gangster in this area, and he specialized in collecting protection fees from the food street.
"Hurry up, don't waste time. Do you want to quit? Let us brothers eat and drink here every day? " The scar-faced man threatened. As he said that, he casually picked up a spicy skewer from Lin Yi's table and put it into his mouth. Then, he threw the signature on Lin Yi's table.
"Hey, don't throw your food here. You'll pay for it later." Lin Yi frowned and said to the scar-faced man.
"Hmm?" The scar-faced man was stunned. He didn't expect that this customer would dare to talk to him like this. He turned his head and was about to scold him. Suddenly, he saw Sun Jingyi with Lin Yi. He suddenly widened his eyes, and a lewd smile appeared on his face. "Since that's the case, I'll treat you. Let's eat together. Brothers, bring the chairs over!"
After the scar-faced man finished speaking, he sat on a chair next to Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi. He looked at Sun Jingyi and said, "Sister, I'll treat you. You can eat as much as you want. Let's drink some wine?"
Sun Jingyi frowned slightly. She didn't expect Lin Yi to cause so much trouble. Originally, these people came to collect protection fees. After collecting, they would leave. Even if they ate a spicy skewer, the boss would know in his heart. He definitely wouldn't count the bill. However, Lin Yi's words attracted such a disaster.
"Did I allow you to sit here? Do I know you? " When Lin Yi saw this guy flirting with Sun Jingyi, he was immediately unwilling. No matter what, Sun Jingyi was also an employer who was going to give him money. You are flirting with her in front of me?
What's more, although Lin Yi didn't want to be a busybody, this matter wasn't a busybody. This scar-faced man sat here because of his words. Of course, Lin Yi wouldn't spoil him.
"Who the f * ck are you?" The scar-faced man turned his head and wanted to push Lin Yi. He had long seen that this kid was a hindrance. He was looking for a reason to make him give up his seat, and this reason came himself.
"Pa!" The answer to the scar-faced man was a loud slap in the face. Lin Yi just beat Zou Ruoming in the morning. He didn't enjoy it very much. With Wang Zhifeng around, he couldn't beat Zou Ruoming too seriously in public. But now he had no scruples. So, this slap made half of the scar-faced man's face like a steamed bun, and it instantly swelled up.
"I hate it when people scold my mother!" Lin Yi didn't have a mother since he was a child, so it was a taboo for others to mention his mother.
"You … you dare to hit me?" The scar-faced man looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. He could be said to be the master of this food street. Don't talk about being beaten, no one would even speak loudly. So, Lin Yi's slap stunned the scar-faced man …
"Get lost." Lin Yi looked at the scar-faced man with disdain. He looked down on people like the scar-faced man. Not only did he collect protection fees, but he also came out to flirt with women.
