The Charlatan Kim Jung-jung
Chapter 1505 The Charlatan Kim Jung-jung
Wang Zhenzhen blushed upon hearing this. Even though it was just the two of them at home, she still glanced furtively towards the door before calling out in a barely audible voice:
"husband!"
"Hmm~, good boy!" Lin Hao nodded in satisfaction, then said:
"The Three Broken Days is an extremely Yin day that occurs once every sixty years. On this day, resentment fills the sky. Those wronged ghosts and evil spirits cannot be reborn, nor can they receive offerings from their relatives, and their resentment cannot be relieved!"
"Therefore, when returning to the mortal realm at the height of Yin energy to vent one's resentment, it is crucial to avoid burning paper money or setting up altars for the deceased, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Ah! Then let's hurry and tell my mother to postpone the vegetarian feast to another day."
Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, Wang Zhenzhen's mouth gaped open in astonishment, wide enough to fit an egg.
Immediately, she grabbed Lin Hao and hurriedly ran towards Sister Jin's house.
······
"What? Three broken days? Mom, have you heard of them?"
Kim Jung-jung was completely bewildered. As a charlatan, he had never heard of anything about the Three Suns. He could only ask his mother.
"No, I've never heard of it!" Old charlatan Sister Jin was equally bewildered. She had been a charlatan for decades and had never heard of any Three Broken Suns.
"That's right! Ah Hao and Xiao Ling both said that you can't fast on the three broken days, right, Lao~, uh, Ah Hao."
Wang Zhenzhen tugged at Lin Hao, almost calling him "husband," but thankfully she realized her mistake in time, blushed slightly, and said seriously.
“That’s right! You really can’t fast on the Three Broken Days!” Lin Hao nodded affirmatively.
Although I knew Jiajia would definitely believe these two charlatans, I still had to say what needed to be said.
"Ah Hao! How do you know all this?" Ouyang Jiajia asked.
"I've learned a little bit about catching ghosts," Lin Hao said modestly.
Before Jiajia could say anything, Jin Zhengzhong immediately objected upon hearing Lin Hao mention that he had studied ghost-catching.
Holy crap, are they trying to steal our business?
Immediately, Jin Zhengzhong's gaze towards Lin Hao turned hostile.
This time, thanks to the help of the female ghost Xiaoqian, the mother and son asked for a staggering 100,000 yuan in service fees. They were determined to get this business.
Upon realizing this, Jin Zhengzhong immediately said, "It seems you don't believe me. I am Xuanwu Tongzi."
After saying that, Jin Zhengzhong pretended to be a sorcerer, made a few random hand gestures, pointed at the stool, and the stool immediately flew into the air.
Lin Hao naturally knew what was going on, but Ouyang Jiajia was seeing magic for the first time and had complete faith in Jin Zhengzhong, saying:
"Ah Hao! You've seen how powerful Zhengzhong is now, so you should believe him, right?"
"Hehe! Aunt Jiajia, don't blame me for not telling you later."
Lin Hao shrugged. Since they didn't believe him, he had nothing to say. He would just treat it as a free show.
Wang Zhenzhen was very dissatisfied to see that her mother actually trusted outsiders and not her boyfriend.
Although she had previously believed in Xuanwu Tongzi, a woman in love has no sense of reason.
Since my boyfriend said that rituals cannot be performed on the three broken days, then it definitely cannot be done.
By sheer luck, she realized that the Xuanwu Boy was nothing but a fraud in her eyes.
Even when Kim Jung-jung performed a telekinetic act on stage, Wang Zhenzhen still stood by her boyfriend and insisted on arguing with her mother.
Just as she was about to say something, Lin Hao tugged at her arm and shook his head at her.
Although Wang Zhenzhen didn't understand Lin Hao's actions, she didn't say anything more.
After failing to persuade him, Lin Hao did not stay any longer, said goodbye, and left the Jin family.
As soon as Wang Zhenzhen saw Lin Hao leave, she immediately followed him.
Once outside, Wang Zhenzhen finally asked the question that had been bothering her:
"Ah Hao! Didn't you say that you can't hold a fast on the three broken days? Why aren't you trying to persuade my mom and the others anymore? What if something really happens?"
"It's okay! Just consider it an opportunity for your mom to broaden her horizons."
Lin Hao smiled slightly and explained nonchalantly:
That's how people are; they won't turn back until they hit a wall. They won't learn by being taught, but they'll learn something after just one lesson!
"It's just some trivial little scene, but it'll help your mother see the true colors of that mother and son!"
Over the years, the Jin family has swindled a lot of money from their neighbors. After this mess was ruined, they won't be able to continue their fraudulent activities.
"Oh!" Wang Zhenzhen vaguely understood Lin Hao's idea and immediately nodded in support.
The two had just returned to Wang Zhenzhen's doorstep when they saw Luo Kaiping standing there, looking hesitant, as if he wanted to knock but was too embarrassed to do so.
"Brother Ping! Is there something you need?" Wang Zhenzhen didn't think much of it and stepped forward to ask.
Upon seeing Wang Zhenzhen, Luo Kaiping was initially delighted, but upon seeing Lin Hao beside her, a clear look of disappointment flashed across his face.
"Ah! Zhenzhen, um... I have something I'd like to talk to you about alone," Luo Kaiping said, his eyes slightly evasive.
Although he didn't know whether Lin Hao and Wang Zhenzhen had a confirmed relationship, he could still tell from their flirtatious glances.
If his mother hadn't been dying and her greatest wish hadn't been to see him and Wang Zhenzhen get married, he would never have had the courage to confess his feelings to Wang Zhenzhen.
Even though he knew the hope was slim, or even nonexistent, he still wanted to try for his mother's sake.
"Just tell me what's wrong. Ah Hao isn't an outsider." Wang Zhenzhen didn't think much of it. Lin Hao was her boyfriend, and there was nothing she needed to hide from him.
"This...this!"
Luo Kaiping was already extremely nervous, and with Lin Hao, a grown man, standing next to him, how could he possibly bring himself to confess his feelings?
"What exactly happened?" Wang Zhenzhen asked again.
"Oh! Well, I still have some soup simmering at home, I'll come find you another day!"
Luo Kaiping made up a lame excuse and fled in panic, because he simply couldn't bring himself to speak under these circumstances.
"Why does Brother Ping seem so strange today?" Wang Zhenzhen said with a slight frown, looking at Luo Kaiping who was fleeing in a panic.
"He came to confess his feelings to you, but he couldn't bring himself to do it when he saw me standing next to you."
At this moment, Lin Hao grinned, put his arm around Wang Zhenzhen, and teased her with a playful expression:
"Looks like I'll have to keep a closer eye on you from now on. I can't let such a beautiful young wife be snatched away by an outsider!"
"How could that be?" Wang Zhenzhen hurriedly explained after hearing Lin Hao's words:
"I only see Ping as an ordinary neighbor, and besides... besides, we've already gone this far, how could it be...!"
Halfway through her sentence, Wang Zhenzhen noticed Lin Hao's ambiguous smile and immediately realized she had been tricked.
"You're so annoying!" She slapped Lin Hao twice in protest, then hurriedly opened the door and ran home.
Lin Hao chuckled and followed them inside.
Hey! What are you doing?
"Ugh! What if my mom sees this when she gets back?"
"Hmm~~, or... um!"
As the two were flirting and behaving wildly, darkness fell before they knew it.
"Oh! It's so late, get up, get up!"
Wang Zhenzhen opened her eyes groggily, turned her head and saw that the moon was already high in the sky outside the window. She was immediately alarmed and hurriedly called Lin Hao to get up. At the same time, she also felt secretly worried, as Lin Hao had had a deep conversation with her during the day.
After the conversation, Wang Zhenzhen was so exhausted that she fell asleep immediately.
Before I knew it, I had slept for so long. I didn't even know if my mom had come back or if she had found out that Lin Hao and I had done *that*.
But now is not the time to think about these things. The time for the vegetarian feast is almost here, and if I don't go down soon, my mother will really come looking for me.
After a quick wash, the two hurried downstairs.
At this point, Kim Jong-jung, this charlatan, had already begun to pretend to perform rituals.
He was muttering incantations, and the neighbors around him were completely bewildered.
Lin Hao smiled and shook his head. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see anything, but in Lin Hao's eyes, the resentment around him was slowly gathering towards Jiajia Building.
The spectacular parade of a hundred demons is about to begin.
Nearby, Wang Zhenzhen and her daughter were whispering to each other.
Ouyang Jiajia gave Wang Zhenzhen a meaningful look and instructed her:
"You're all grown up now. You can handle some things on your own, so I won't say more. But you must pay attention to safety, okay?"
Although Wang Zhenzhen was inexperienced and had little knowledge of such matters, she understood perfectly what her mother meant.
My mom must have found out that I slept with Lin Hao.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhenzhen blushed deeply, wishing she could disappear into the ground, and whined, "Mommy..."
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore!" Ouyang Jiajia shook her head with a smile.
She had been through that age herself and could understand her daughter, but she secretly sighed, "It's so good to be young."
"By the way! Where's Ping-ge?" Wang Zhenzhen changed the subject.
"Yes! I clearly told him, why hasn't he come yet?"
"Mommy! I'll go and call Ping down."
She couldn't stand it for another minute. She felt her mother's burning gaze was like a branding iron tracing her body, so she hurriedly tried to find an excuse to escape.
"No need to go." Lin Hao stopped Wang Zhenzhen, who was about to leave.
Just kidding, Lin Haoming knows what's going to happen next, how could he let Wang Zhenzhen take such a risk?
At this point, Kim Jong-jung had finished his charade and suddenly said, "Burn clothes!"
Sister Jin, who was standing nearby, quickly put all the paper offerings, ingots, candles, incense, and other things that she had prepared in advance into the brazier.
As soon as these things were put in, the flames barely licked at the ground before a fierce wind suddenly arose, and the entire Jiajia Building was filled with resentment.
A vortex formed from gathered resentment appeared in the sky.
Then a sudden gust of wind blew, causing the paper money and other paper offerings to sway wildly, a sight that terrified the onlookers.
"Why is the wind suddenly so strong?"
"Yes! Everything was calm just now."
"Could it be that the vengeful spirits have returned again?"
"Don't be afraid, everyone. When Xuanwu Boy reveals his true form, the wind and clouds will naturally rise. Rest assured."
Seeing that everyone was frightened, Kim Jung-jung pretended that this was the way things should be and talked nonsense to everyone in a serious manner.
He thought that all of this was the work of his Goddess of Wealth, Xiaoqian.
Little did he know, his lucky charm, Xiaoqian, had already fled when she sensed things were going badly.
"What's going on?" Wang Zhenzhen shrank closer to Lin Hao, then asked somewhat fearfully, "Is something really going to happen?"
"It's okay! With your husband here, what are you afraid of?" Lin Hao smiled and comforted her.
For Lin Hao, the hundred ghosts in front of him could be wiped out with a wave of his hand, but Jin Zhengzhong's troubles were something he was sure to make them suffer.
He had already advised them before, and they deserved it if they didn't listen. Besides, Lin Hao already disliked Kim Jung-jung.
It doesn't matter if he cheats people out of money; the fact that he can do it is his own skill.
However, it's a bit unreasonable that he specifically swindled money from these neighbors.
It's said that rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, and Lin Hao hates people who deliberately scheme against acquaintances.
If they can deceive their neighbors of so many years, what else are they incapable of doing?
Just then, Wang Zhenzhen's phone rang.
Seeing that the caller ID showed Luo Kaiping, Wang Zhenzhen gave Lin Hao a questioning look, asking him whether he should answer Luo Kaiping's call.
During the day, Lin Hao had said that Luo Kaiping had come to confess his feelings to her, and she didn't want Lin Hao to misunderstand her because of this.
"Answer it!" Wang Zhenzhen answered the phone after hearing Lin Hao's agreement, but she put it on speakerphone.
"Brother Ping! Is something the matter?"
"I need your help with something. Could you come to my house?" Luo Kaiping asked urgently.
"This~~~!" Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenzhen frowned slightly, showing some hesitation.
In the past, she would have agreed without hesitation.
But Lin Hao had just said during the day that Luo Kaiping liked him, and he was trying to avoid suspicion.
Besides, it's the middle of the night, how could a girl like me go to the home of someone who has ulterior motives towards me?
I want to refuse, but I don't know how.
“Zhenzhen, if you’re worried about coming alone, you can have Lin Hao come with you. I really have an urgent matter to ask for your help, and I don’t mean anything else.”
Luo Kaiping seemed to know what Wang Zhenzhen was worried about, and quickly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenzhen looked at Lin Hao and asked for his opinion.
Lin Hao chuckled and nodded.
He originally didn't want to bother with the mother and son, but since they had come knocking on his door, Lin Hao didn't mind making them both disappear from his soul.
As for what kind of five-star warrior Luo Kaiping was, Lin Hao didn't care.
With me here, do you think I'm afraid he can turn the world upside down?
“Okay! Ah Hao and I will head over right away,” Wang Zhenzhen agreed.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoling, who was driving, looked towards the direction of Jiajia Building and saw that it was filled with resentment. She couldn't help but curse:
"That damn charlatan! Tell him to stop opening the altar! I don't know what Lin Hao is good for; he can't even stop a charlatan."
After saying that, he stepped on the gas and headed straight for Jiajia Building.
When Ma Xiaoling drove to Jiajia Building, she found that the entrance of the entire building was already filled with wandering ghosts, and the paper figures and paper cars were moving on their own without any wind.
Kim Jung-jung, who had been feeling quite smug, also realized that something was amiss.
