The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 365 Bumping Into Someone On Purpose
Chen Xiao couldn't help but shudder, the hairs on his body standing on end.
"Ziqing, what are you doing?"
Of course, Chen Xiao knew what Li Ziqing was doing; he was just pretending not to know.
"Shhh…"
Li Ziqing's voice was mesmerizing to the extreme. "I told you, I'm perking you up…"
As she spoke, Li Ziqing had already unbuckled Chen Xiao's belt.
Chen Xiao's scalp was about to explode. This Li Ziqing, her courage was too much! Wasn't she afraid of being seen?
But it was so late, and the car was driving so fast, surely no one would see them, right?
Li Ziqing lowered her head…
Chen Xiao felt an unprecedented stimulation; every pore in his body opened up.
After who knows how long, Li Ziqing finally raised her head, panting as she asked, "How is it? Are you perked up?"
"Perked up!"
Chen Xiao was more than perked up!
"You're perked up, but it exhausted me!"
Li Ziqing wiped her mouth, even her complaints were full of charm.
Chen Xiao chuckled foolishly, "You worked hard, Wife~~ If you're tired, go back to sleep for a while!"
"I won't!"
Li Ziqing said with a resentful expression, "You're perked up, but I'm not yet…"
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded, his forehead covered in black lines.
"I can't help you with that… How about you take care of it yourself?"
"Bad guy, you're perked up and don't care about others, you don't like me at all!"
Li Ziqing complained.
Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment. "It's not that I don't want to help, I just can't!"
"You usually have so many ideas, why don't you have any now? I think you're just not putting your heart into it!"
Li Ziqing playfully extended a slender finger, and Chen Xiao instantly understood.
"Hurry, Husband~~"
Li Ziqing looked at Chen Xiao with alluring eyes, pleading.
…
Seven o'clock, the sky was already bright.
After driving all night, Chen Xiao finally arrived in Weicheng territory.
Li Ziqing was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat, a beam of sunlight shining on her face, causing her to slowly open her eyes.
Stretching languidly, Li Ziqing said like a kitten, "Husband, I'm a little hungry…"
Chen Xiao drove off the highway; there happened to be a suburban area nearby with many breakfast vendors.
"Okay, let's go get some breakfast first!"
Chen Xiao slowed down and slowly drove towards a steamed bun shop.
Just as he was about to park, a black figure suddenly rushed out from the side, and with a bang, collided with the car.
Immediately afterwards, the black figure was sent flying, soaring eight or nine meters away.
Chen Xiao quickly stopped the car. Actually, the car's speed had been quite slow, but the person had been knocked so far away, it was truly unbelievable.
"Husband, it seems you hit someone."
Li Ziqing hadn't fully woken up and said blankly.
Chen Xiao stared intently at the figure lying on the ground, correcting, "No, it seems we've encountered a con artist! I'll go take a look first!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiao opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the figure.
Li Ziqing thought for a moment and followed him out of the car.
By the time Chen Xiao approached, the figure had already gotten up from the ground.
It was an unremarkable middle-aged man.
A pancake face, beady eyes, large hands and feet, the whole person was round and stout, and the clothes on his body looked like they hadn't been washed in ages, covered in grime.
Chen Xiao didn't immediately expose the other party, but instead asked with concern, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"I was almost killed by you, do you think I'm okay?"
The pancake face sat on the ground, glanced at Chen Xiao, and said, "What do you say about this matter?"
Hearing the other party's tone, Li Ziqing immediately became upset. "You clearly ran over and hit our car, and you still have the nerve to ask us what to do? You damaged my car, and I haven't even asked you for compensation yet!"
"Alas, the world is going downhill; you rich people are truly unbenevolent!"
The pancake face sighed. "You can afford to drive such an expensive car, but you're still trying to deny responsibility after hitting someone?"
"You're really being unreasonable, engaging in moral blackmail, right? We won't fall for that. I have a dash cam in my car, let's report it to the police if you don't believe me!"
Li Ziqing said coldly with her arms crossed.
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his hand, signaling Li Ziqing to stop talking, then asked the pancake face, "I was the one driving the car, if you have something to say, come to me. What are your demands, just say it."
"What demands? You hit someone, I don't want to make things difficult for you, just compensate me for some medical expenses!"
"Name a number."
"Hmm, 88,888… Do you think that's okay?"
The pancake face asked in a negotiating tone.
Chen Xiao smiled; this person was clearly a newbie. If all con artists were like him, they would have starved to death long ago.
"88,888? What, are you hoping for good luck with your medical expenses?"
Li Ziqing mocked coldly.
However, to Li Ziqing's surprise, Chen Xiao actually agreed to the pancake face.
"Okay, it's just 88,000, I'll transfer it to you. Give me your payment QR code."
Li Ziqing didn't understand Chen Xiao's actions at all. Even if he had a lot of money now and didn't care about ten or twenty thousand, he shouldn't just give money to a con artist, right?
But despite not understanding, as a good wife, she didn't stop Chen Xiao's actions.
The pancake face scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry… I don't have a payment QR code. Can you get me cash?"
"I'm warning you not to go too far!"
Li Ziqing gritted her teeth; this person was simply taking things too far.
It was early in the morning, and the bank hadn't opened yet. Where could they find so much cash for him?
However, Chen Xiao directly went to the ATM to withdraw the cash, put it in a black plastic bag, and handed it to the pancake face.
"Alright, we're clear. You guys go, and be careful when you drive in the future…"
The pancake face took the money, gave them a few words of advice, and then turned and left.
"Chen Xiao, what are you doing? You clearly know he's a con artist, why are you still giving him money?"
Li Ziqing finally had the chance to ask the question in her heart.
"He's not a con artist. Have you ever heard of a con artist who asks for money with such specific numbers?"
Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Li Ziqing rolled her eyes. "Even if he's not a con artist, he's definitely not a good person."
"Let's follow him and see if he's really a good person. We'll find out soon enough."
After speaking, Chen Xiao followed the direction in which the pancake face had left and started walking forward.
"Chen Xiao, I don't think there's any need for that, right? You've already given him the money, why are you still following him?"
Li Ziqing said helplessly.
But Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "This person has incredibly strong inner strength and is an extremely powerful martial arts expert, yet he's willing to do something like scamming for money. Aren't you even a little curious?"
