Chapter 53
Could a normal person do such a beastly thing?
Luo Chen became increasingly displeased as he spoke.
I'm really angry.
Manager Bai was at a loss for words.
But it seems like he was the one who called to question Luo Chen, wasn't he?
How did it become Luo Chen questioning him?
Judging from Luo Chen's tone, he felt that Luo Chen would be promoted to a higher position at the Super Management Bureau that night.
"Look...you're in such a hurry again..."
With some helplessness, Manager Bai decided to comfort Luo Chen first.
"I didn't say anything, right?"
"We are already aware of this matter and will handle it strictly. Just focus on carrying out your mission!"
"However, you've solved a huge hidden danger for our Supermarket Management Bureau this time. The bonus will be deposited directly into your account later."
Luo Chen's expression softened somewhat, and his anger gradually subsided.
Lin Hao mentioned, "Medical expenses!"
Manager Bai naturally heard this and quickly said, "The medical expenses will be transferred immediately. Please be careful!"
After saying that, Manager Bai hung up the phone.
"What did Luo Chen and the others say? This matter has quite a impact. Should we call them back first?"
"It's not really a trial, just a formality, a way of giving an explanation!"
"After all, Zhao Han has been the captain for so many years, while Luo Chen is..."
The person next to Steward Bai said.
But Steward Bai interrupted him.
"Fine, if we really call Luo Chen back, that kid would definitely dare to mess with us!"
Luo Chen hung up the phone and sat down on the ground with Lin Hao.
Liu Yi is contacting someone to handle this situation.
"Two hundred thousand!" Lin Hao couldn't help but exclaim upon receiving the bank transfer notification.
Although he suffered some injuries, they were all superficial, and he made a profit of 200,000 yuan.
Luo Chen also received 700,000!
Subsequently, Luo Chen transferred 300,000 yuan to Lin Hao without hesitation.
"Brother Luo, what are you doing?"
Lin Hao was naturally curious and puzzled.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Let's keep things separate. The rewards from these missions are all with me; I almost forgot to give them to you!"
Hearing this, Lin Hao didn't seem to mind: "I didn't even put in much effort!"
That's true.
Immediately, Lin Hao seemed to remember something and quickly said, "By the way, Brother Luo, what should we do now?"
"Zhao Han is dead, but he was still the captain, and his men probably won't listen to us!"
"If there are anyone fiercely loyal to Zhao Han, they might even try to trip us up!"
Luo Chen frowned slightly, then said, "If they don't want to listen, then they don't want to listen. A bunch of useless people. They haven't made any progress on a mission in six months. What's the use of them?"
"Why don't we just look it up ourselves!"
"By the way, according to what that guy said before, the members of the Rebirth Cult will be gathering in the basement under a billiards hall in three days. Maybe we can give it a try!"
After a brief silence, Lin Hao looked at the wreaths not far away, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, he looked at Luo Chen and said, "Brother Luo, how about we investigate that old man from earlier?"
"Give him a good beating first; maybe we'll get some information!"
"Why? Did he sell you counterfeit goods?"
Luo Chen looked puzzled. What did this have to do with a guy who sold wreaths?
Lin Hao frowned: "I don't know, it's just a gut feeling!"
"Besides, isn't that how it's always written in novels? The protagonist and his friends go to investigate something, buy some things along the way, and the shopkeeper seems quite kind, even ordinary, but in the end, it turns out that the boss is actually that shopkeeper!"
At this point, Lin Hao paused for a moment, then continued, "If that's the case, I think we should go find that barbecue stall owner too, and give him a good beating first!"
Luo Chen: "??????"
"That NEET is really something!" Luo Chen didn't know how to retort for a moment.
Although it seems like there's no necessary connection, it's still somewhat reasonable.
Especially considering how lifelike the paper figures that guy made were, it seemed like there really was something wrong with them.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it seems like everything is problematic.
Seeing Luo Chen fall silent, Lin Hao leaned closer again: "Brother Luo, I have a plan!"
"What?"
Luo Chen was also curious about what kind of bad ideas Lin Hao might have.
"Let's take these two wreaths back and test the waters. If this old guy doesn't return them, we'll give him a real beating. If he does return them... we'll say he sold counterfeit goods, and then give him another beating!"
"Anyway, we don't need these two wreaths. Just send them over and say the person isn't going to die today!"
Lin Hao spoke very seriously.
Luo Chen clapped his hands, looking at Lin Hao in shock: "What a fucking beast!"
"I wouldn't even think of such a thing to say if I were looking for trouble!"
"But what if we kill him?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao paused slightly, then said, "Then... I'll come visit you during holidays!"
Luo Chen: "???"
The two then carried the wreaths away.
Liu Yi was about to say that he would handle it, but then he heard Luo Chen say that he wanted to take it and return it.
I was dumbfounded. This thing can be returned?
Well... aren't they all dead? Wouldn't that be perfect for them?
Soon, the two arrived at the shop they had visited before.
"Boss, I want a refund, but I don't want the person to die today!"
Luo Chen said, very seriously!
Boss: "???"
Holy crap!
I've run this shop for decades and I've never encountered such beastly people as you!
But then, the boss suddenly realized something. Had his identity been exposed?
It seems that only this explanation can be given.
After all, what normal person would do such a beastly thing?
And now, it's very likely that they've come to test us!
Thinking about this, the boss fell silent. If that were the case...
"Okay, wait for me to get the money. I'm too old for that QR code transfer stuff!"
"Just come and get it when you die and need it!"
The boss agreed and gave the money to Luo Chen.
He saw Luo Chen and Lin Hao off with a smile.
On the way, Luo Chen and Lin Hao remained silent, squatting on the main road, smoking cigarettes.
"My conscience is bothering me!"
"Have we misunderstood this old man? He earns a meager living through his craft, but we..."
Lin Hao stubbed out his cigarette, feeling like he was a complete jerk.
Luo Chen stubbed out his cigarette before saying, "Luckily, I have no conscience!"
"However, there's definitely something wrong with this old guy!"
"Who in their right mind would give you a refund... especially since it's been used? I'll come back tonight!"
Luo Chen felt it was completely unreasonable, and something just felt off.
Inside the store at this time.
The old man's face gradually darkened, and he silently put down the knife at his waist.
"Gone? Really gone?"
He felt that he must have been exposed, and that Luo Chen and the others were deliberately trying to cause trouble.
He was even prepared to take action, but who would have thought that Luo Chen and Lin Hao would actually leave.
"Am I overthinking it? Did I not expose myself at all?"
"But if they hadn't been exposed, would those two have done something so heinous?"
"Aren't you afraid of having a son who won't have dermatitis?"
