Chapter 31: Meet the liar again

By Mason Vale · 2289 words

Looking at the flashing phone screen, Kai Wei thought to himself: Lao Meng is the sales manager of the company. Is it possible that he is discussing business with Guan Laoer? The boss of a company as big as Guan Laoer would personally contact a small manager like him.

Every plan sounded clean until real people, real money, and real fear started typing back.

What should I do if there is a conspiracy? Why not open the private message and take a look?

Kai Wei hesitated. If he opened the unread private message, Lao Meng would definitely discover it later. What if the private message involved some shady secret?

Lao Meng is not worried. What scares him is that Guan Laoer, who was born in the underworld and Tao, may not only be in danger, but also Ethan Yi, Chloe Chang, and Xiao Xiang may be implicated. Although he has a powerful friend in Nick Nie who seems to be on his side, he must not take this risk.

Finally, he suppressed his curiosity and put the phone back in front of the window, pretending that nothing happened.

I looked back at Lao Meng and saw that he was dancing happily. Kai Wei smiled, stuffed his electronic LinkedIn QR card, cigarettes, and wallet back into Lao Meng's pocket, picked up a pile of Lao Meng's clothes, opened the car door on this side, lit the lighter, unfolded Lao Meng's pants, and burned, burned, burned his buttocks and crotch.

The fire gradually increased, and most of his clothes were burned. Lao Meng also noticed the light here. Kai Wei had already walked out of the car door and stood on the snow, waving to Lao Meng with his burning clothes. Suddenly, with a fierce wave, he threw the clothes into the air, and the flames all over the sky floated down with the snowflakes.

"Go three miles to pick up the car." After saying this, Kai Wei got into Lao Meng's car gracefully without looking back, locked the door, and slowly drove away from the scene.

"Oh my God, my God," Lao Meng rushed over and shoveled the snow with his hands to put out the fire. The fire was quickly extinguished. However, when he looked at the clothes full of holes, Lao Meng burst into tears.

Important parts of the pants were burned and could not cover important parts of the body. He planned to tie his shirt around his waist as an apron, but the holes in his shirt were even bigger.

"Oh my God, help me!" Lao Meng looked up to the sky and cried.

The only ones attracted were some drivers who were watching the fun. Most of them cursed "hoodlums", "rascals" or "crazy" before driving away. Poor Lao Meng endured the biting coldness, picked up the snow flakes on the ground, and clamped it on his key parts, saying silently: I'm sorry, I'll find you a warm nest later.

What a good Kai Wei, who else could use such revenge methods but him?

Half an hour later, Chloe Chang was still kneeling on the ground sobbing. Her body was covered with thick snow, like a snowman. She never took her hands out of the ice and snow. What she was thinking was that she had caused Kai Wei to strip off his clothes and jump on the street in the cold weather, so she wanted to freeze herself to make atonement.

Tears were still dripping, but the flying snowflakes showed no sign of stopping. The snow that had just melted away with her tears was covered by new snowflakes.

Suddenly, she felt someone touch her neck, and she hurriedly reached out to touch it. She didn't touch anything, but she was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

"Don't move, Jese"

Chloe Chang laughed, then cried with joy, because what she heard was Kai Wei's voice.

Chloe Chang said "Wow", cried loudly, hugged Kai Wei, buried her head in his arms, and kept saying sorry.

Kai Wei was indeed a little angry, but he couldn't bear to get angry with Chloe Chang who was so weak.

Chloe Chang deeply apologized to Kai Wei for her overflowing sympathy. Kai Wei acted very generously and did not pursue it further. A woman who sympathizes with her enemies will be better to her own people, which made Kai Wei feel more at ease.

The topic of the sanitary napkin was also forgotten by the two of them.

Two days later, Spring Festival.

The feud with Lao Meng has come to an end for the time being, but Kai Wei still has lingering fears about the private message about Lao Er on Lao Meng's phone. However, since today is the New Year and the company is on holiday, he cannot continue to understand the progress of the matter.

The New Year brings a new atmosphere. 2026 is the year of the Olympic Games. All kinds of torches are all over the streets across the country. Although the Gregorian New Year has long passed, the Chinese tradition still likes to define the Spring Festival as the New Year.

Of course, Kai Wei wanted to spend the Spring Festival in a foreign land with his fellow villager Ethan Yi. Although he missed his family more during the festive season, it was rare for a few people who shared the same disease to get together to celebrate the festival, which was quite pleasant.

When Kai Wei saw Ethan Yi and Xiao Xiang appearing in front of him hand in hand, he was surprised and relieved. Xiao Xiang's face was also good, and it seemed that she was enjoying her life with Ethan Yi.

"Why didn't Chloe come?" Ethan Yi asked.

Kai Wei sighed, "As a woman, I miss home. I stay at home surfing the Internet and video chatting with my family."

Kai Wei said unintentionally, but he saw a flash of gloom on Xiao Xiang's face, and then he thought that Xiao Xiang had severed ties with his relatives not long ago, and he must feel uncomfortable hearing about other people's family happiness.

Kai Wei realized that he had said something wrong and was about to apologize, but Xiao Xiang swept away the gloom and said crisply: "Hey, I'm more relaxed than Sister Chloe, so I don't need to chat with you."

Seeing what Xiao Xiang said, Kai Wei hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, Ethan Yi, where are we going to play? I don't know much about Fenghai City. How about you being a tour guide?"

"How about going to the Pearl Tower for a walk?" Ethan Yi said.

The Pearl Tower is located in Dongpu District, where Kai Company's headquarters is located. The tower is 500 meters high and is filled with luxurious gold and silver shops, so it is named the Pearl Tower.

In addition to being a gold and silver trading market, the tower is also a large scenic observation deck. A circular corridor with a circumference of 200 meters surrounds the shops. Standing on the corridor and looking around, you can see all the buildings at a glance, as if you have a panoramic view of the entire city.

The tower is supported by four oversized square reinforced concrete piles, and there are elevators on the four sides of each pile, so you don't have to worry about being squeezed when you get up and down the elevator. There is always a suitable position for you.

Kai Wei and the others took the elevator to the top of the tower. Ethan Yi pulled Xiao Xiang into a gold shop. Kai Wei shook his head and followed in.

Looking at the various luxury jewelry priced at 10,000 yuan, Kai Wei felt bored: Damn, these things have a purpose. They are so expensive. If I buy a plastic one from a stall and flash it in front of others, it's no worse than this.

Although Kai Wei has a lot of face, he always uses his face in useful places and completely scorns these useless things in his opinion.

Just like that, as Ethan Yi and the others walked around in a complete circle, Ethan Yi also pulled Xiao Xiang out dejectedly, saying, "Damn, none of them look good, right?" He looked at Kai Wei and said this.

Kai Wei understood what he meant. Wasn't he just telling Xiao Xiang: It's not that I can't afford it, nor am I reluctant to buy it, but I don't even like it.

"Yeah, it's not as good-looking as the plastic or glass ones on the stalls," Kai Wei replied.

Xiao Xiang is slightly older than Kai Wei and Ethan Yi, and has been walking around in society longer than them. Naturally, she knows that these gay friends are working together to cheat on her. But she didn't expose it. Firstly, she didn't think it was necessary to buy such high-end things. Secondly, now that she had nothing except her two friends Ethan Yi and Kai Wei, how could she bear to undermine them.

The three of them walked aimlessly along the circular observation deck. Although they had just experienced heavy snow, the place had been cleaned up and it was worthy of being a noble place.

When they turned to a place, the three of them were quickly attracted by the crowds of people there. Due to the large number of people, they couldn't see what was going on inside, but through a large plastic billboard erected on the side, they knew all the information.

The billboard reads: Fenghai TV Comprehensive Channel to raise funds for charity in southern snow disaster areas.

"I rely on the TV station." Ethan Yi excitedly took out the comb he carried with him, combed the broken hair that was shorter than the comb, and said, "Let's donate some, and we can also be on TV."

Kai Wei looked at it with disdain and said, "The people who appear on TV are all big shots who have donated millions or tens of millions. If you donate 20 cents, it is not enough to buy a camera and memory. Who will give you a chance to be on TV?"

"I'm so realistic." Ethan Yi was very unhappy.

"There is a way for you to be on TV." Kai Wei said, "You find a beggar, change clothes with him, and then bring a few thousand dollars to donate, and say you earned it by scavenging. It is guaranteed to inspire people's sympathy and cause a sensation. Once you are done, you can become one of the top ten people who moved China. With your image, you may even be rated as the most handsome beggar. Then you can go to various places for catwalks and earn more than just a few thousand dollars."

"I'm going to lose you for this idea." Ethan Yi stopped paying attention to Kai Wei and looked at the donation place. Suddenly he turned his head again and looked directly at Kai Wei, "Is the police card you used to show off before still still there?"

"It's really weird. They are also raising money for the snow disaster in the south. Isn't Fenghai City the south? There was also a snow disaster." Kai Wei was talking and rummaging through his pockets. He was still there. As soon as he took out the fake ID, he was snatched away by Ethan Yi and ran towards the crowd of donors. At the same time, he said, "Last time you made a few hundred from a scammer. Let's see if my buddy can make you tens of thousands."

What do you mean? Kai Wei looked forward and fixed his eyes on the host holding the microphone. He was suddenly shocked. It turned out to be her.

Yes, the host is the female liar who was teased by Kai Wei and Ethan Yi at the high-speed rail station before. In other words, the donation activity in front of us is completely a scam.

"Come back" Kai Wei hurriedly called Ethan Yi.

Ethan Yi just turned around and smiled at him, then squeezed into the crowd.

"You idiot," Kai Wei cursed angrily, and then said to Xiao Xiang, "Immediately find a nook and corner to call the police. Just say that someone is organizing a fraud. Also, don't come here, otherwise you will only become a burden to us." Before he could finish his words, Kai Wei had already taken a few steps and chased after Ethan Yi.

Although Xiao Xiang didn't know what was going on, looking at Kai Wei's nervous look, he guessed that something was going to happen and hurriedly took out his phone to call the police.

A huge iron donation box was placed at the donation site. Good guy, how cruel. This thing is enough to hold two million.

The female host was holding the microphone and talking non-stop: "As long as you smoke one less pack of cigarettes and drink one less bottle of wine, it will not only keep you healthy, but also allow your love to bring warmth to thousands of households. The society will be warmed because of you, and your hearts will be warmer. Donating to the disaster-stricken areas will warm the world with two birds with one stone. What are you waiting for?"

Sure enough, there were many caring men and women who took out their own money and rushed to the donation box.

Suddenly, a quick hand snatched away the female host's microphone. The female host was still talking about promotional slogans, but because there was no amplification, her voice was drowned in the sea of ​​​​people.

Ethan Yi faced the microphone, raised his police card, and shouted sternly: "Everyone, be quiet."
