Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Groom Ran Away on the Wedding Night (Part 13)

The boy lowered his eyes, clenching his fists tightly.

He said, "Then I’ll take you to the hospital."

He didn’t know if the old man had broken his back, but the other party did indeed fall with a loud thud, and it looked like a hard fall.

Xie Yan never expected to encounter someone so reckless trying to scam him!

Earlier in the alley, it was just the two of them; whether the old man bumped into him or not, it was difficult to explain now that something had happened to the old man.

Xie Yan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, with recovery so close, it seemed destined for him never to have a good day.

Suddenly, he felt a special gaze. Instinctively, he looked up and saw Ah Chen standing in the crowd.

She stood out too much, even in ordinary clothes, she was someone you would notice at first glance.

Xie Yan quickly shifted his gaze; someone like him shouldn’t drag her down. She seemed kind-hearted, and it wouldn’t be good if her sympathy led her to help him.

He didn’t deserve anyone’s help.

Perhaps he’s not meant for studying after all?

While working various jobs in town, he never had any issues with a regular job over the years.

Xie Yan no longer looked towards where Ah Chen was, he helped the old man up and took him to the hospital. All the way there, the old man was moaning and wailing, his face indeed looking unpleasant.

At a glance, Ah Chen could see that while the old man fell, he wasn’t actually hurt anywhere.

He was a scammer.

But Xie Yan was likely to be swindled, and perhaps the money needed was exactly his high school tuition and living expenses.

From what she had previously learned about Xie Yan, she suspected it wasn’t just bad luck.

Ah Chen didn’t follow them. As the crowd dispersed, she rode her bicycle in another direction. Ahead of her was someone dressed more stylishly than the town’s residents, with slightly longer hair, resembling an artist.

He was holding a camera, snapping shots here and there, seemingly wanting to capture the town’s scenery.

Earlier in the crowd, this long-haired man had taken several photos of Xie Yan, a hint of excitement and satisfaction on his face.

Something was amiss.

Someone was targeting Xie Yan. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

They dare mess with her people, bored with life.

She hadn’t seen Fu You for countless years; finally they met again, she couldn’t bear to see him bullied.

[Host? Is something wrong?]997 spoke up, not out of curiosity about the situation, but sensing a hostility from the host, causing him to shiver since they were bound.

Suddenly feeling the host was gentle towards him.

[Nothing’s wrong.]Ah Chen said, her emotions calming down, [You go ahead with your work.]

[Host, I want to discuss something, it’s about contracting new recruits.]997 hesitated but spoke, he thought the host was very capable, asking shouldn’t be a problem.

Ah Chen’s brows regained a smiling demeanor: [Go ahead.]

[I don’t plan to sign permanent contracts from the start; currently the newcomers don’t seem reliable, they’re afraid I might have issues, and I fear the same about them,]997 said. Last time binding the host was owing to desperation, trying to deceive someone honest into a permanent deal, he reflected back and engaged with many newcomers, finding that direct permanent contracts had too many drawbacks, not every time was he lucky to sign someone like the host who earnestly completes tasks, is easy-going yet formidable, [When contracting new recruits, like a trial period, maybe sign them for three worlds, after which, if either party is unwilling, they don’t need to continue.]

It felt easier to sign people this way, leaving room for negotiation.

[Mainly the host is impressive, giving me this confidence to take things slow.]997 complimented, and these words came from his heart.

Ah Chen: [Good, that works, but don’t deceive anyone, or you’ll run into someone you can’t escape from.]

Since meeting a host like this, 997 dared not casually bluff anymore. The vast world had many powerful entities, strong and often capricious, unlike the host who was reasonable and scarce.

Ending the conversation with 997, Ah Chen noticed the man holding a camera entering a courtyard.

Realizing the courtyard had only the man inside, she parked her bike at the entrance and knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing the middle-aged man. Seeing a pretty girl at the door, his eyes lit up, surprised to find someone so beautiful in a small town, he forgot to feel astonished.

"Young lady, is there anything you need?" Yuan Zhicheng asked.

His mind raced with thoughts.

Life in the small town was dull; while the local girls were fine, the place wasn’t very open, he dared not provoke the respectable families. Only encountering those more open-minded would lead to a romantic encounter.

But he hadn’t seen anyone this beautiful before.

Even if she was a girl from a decent family, he couldn’t help but feel impulsive, if trouble arose he could marry her, such beauty was worth it, keep her calm first. After finishing his business, he would leave and who could find him then?

"Are you a photographer, sir?" Ah Chen asked.

Yuan Zhicheng took a deep breath and said, "Yes, are you here for a photo shoot?"

"Yes, may I come in to speak?"

Yuan Zhicheng was eager, quickly inviting her in.

Already thinking of how to profit, the moment he instructed her on poses would be his opportunity.

His mind was restless, but once inside, he saw Ah Chen voluntarily close the door, feeling puzzled, excited, and a little expectant.

What did she want?

Could it be that kind of thing?

Appearing sweet and pure, yet belonging to that trade, but Yuan Zhicheng didn’t lose interest; rather, he was happier, meaning no trouble even if something happened.

"Earlier I saw you taking pictures of that boy, why were you photographing him?" Ah Chen smiled lightly as if genuinely curious.

This question made Yuan Zhicheng sober up, but he didn’t suspect Ah Chen knew anything, and he casually said, "Capturing everyday life in the town, don’t ask too many questions, what kind of photo do you want? Did you bring money?"

He awaited her response.

"Answer my question properly. If you don’t, I’ll hit you."

Yuan Zhicheng now understood, she was here because of Xie Yan. Since when did Xie Yan know someone like this?

His expression darkened: "Young lady, don’t meddle in things you shouldn’t, there are some people you can’t... Ouch..."

Yuan Zhicheng was struck and didn’t even have the ability to fight back.

Now he was on his knees, hands tied behind his back with the belt he had set aside.

His face rubbed against the ground continuously, because his neck was being stepped on.

"I only say things once, told you if you don’t listen you’ll get hit, why wouldn’t you believe it?"

"No matter who you are, the people behind you are out of your league." Yuan Zhicheng struggled to speak, realizing this girl was truly formidable.

"That’s none of your business, tell me what you know," Ah Chen pressed her foot harder, "I’m not very patient today."

Ah Chen held a wallet, Yuan Zhicheng’s, taking out his ID card, reading the address aloud, she asked, "Do you have family?"

"Seeing your age, your parents should be alive, probably married with children?"

"They have nothing to do with this, don’t harm my family." Yuan Zhicheng was scared, speaking shakily.

Ah Chen’s smile widened, grabbing Yuan Zhicheng’s hair, lifting his head, she whispered, "Cooperate well, I might help you complete your task and fool your client. No matter how influential your client is, they aren’t omnipotent, right? If you don’t talk, it’s easy to deal with someone in this remote town."
