Chapter 183 You've Been Deceived_5
The five people, upon hearing what Yuchi said, had a sudden realization and were left speechless.
This Yuchi, who used to seem so smart, is now acting as foolish as a puppy.
Finally, Changsun Hao understood what Yuchi went to Jiangzhou City for.
It turns out that someone from Jiangzhou City saw this wealthy man from Xufu Town and took him on a tour around the city.
On the surface, they appeared as friends, but in reality, it was just an exploitation of familiarity.
It's obvious they took Yuchi to some shops with which they had a close relationship to earn silver, later splitting the profits.
Unless the situation is truly funny, I wouldn't laugh, but now I can't hold back.
Old man Changsun Hao stroked his beard, squinting with delight at Yuchi, and asked:
"If my old self guessed correctly, I presume Yuchi bought quite a number of the same items?"
Yuchi was taken aback and responded immediately, "How did you know?"
Changsun Hao replied cheerily, "Because it's the simplest scam there is."
Yuchi was shocked, exclaiming the word "scam?" in horror.
"Yes, it's a scam, President Yuchi. You may not have known this because you hadn't left Xufu Town before."
"As time goes by, you'll come to know there are many deceitful ploys in this world."
"One link after another, tightly intertwined, leaving people defenseless."
After speaking, Changsun Hao continued to complain inwardly: What is Jiangzhou City's status? Did you think you could make a mark there?
And you thought they would host you and take you out to have fun? Are you really that naïve?
And buying so much stuff?
Can't say it's incurably stupid, just stupid enough to give up.
Seeing Yuchi's frightened look, Changsun Hao asked "concernedly":
"This time in Jiangzhou City, I wonder how much gold and silver did President Yuchi spend?"
How much gold and silver?
I didn't spend a penny, I even profited from it!
Though he thought this, Yuchi grabbed his forehead hair with both hands and murmured, "About thirty thousand taels..."
Changsun Hao, "..."
Bai Rou, "..."
Everyone, "..."
In shock!
Others are like slaughtering pigs, but you were slaughtered like a dragon.
Indeed, such a wastrel!
If thirty thousand taels can bring back goods worth ten taels of silver, that would be astonishing, yet this young man is so shortsighted!
Changsun Hao laughed heartily.
"How would I know? I wasn't sure either, but that's what they told me."
"They said after buying this, we're friends."
"They said whenever I'm in trouble, I could find them in Jiangzhou City, and they would definitely help me."
Yuchi's current expression is truly one of grievance.
The baby is aggrieved, needs big sister Song Yinghan's hug.
Then.
Suddenly, Yuchi showed an expression of great fear.
"Right... that... that...!"
"Huh?" He hesitated, making Changsun Hao furrow his brows.
Everyone else quickly looked towards Yuchi.
Young man, if you have something to say, just say it. What's with the sudden fear?
Then they heard Yuchi utter a terrifying sentence.
"Does that mean the letters I sent earlier are useless!" Yuchi panicked.
"Letters, what letters?" Changsun Hao and other patriarchs looked at Yuchi puzzled.
"It is..."
"It is..."
"It's that one!"
Yuchi stammered, unable to find the words.
"Which one?"
"Come on, don't rush, speak slowly."
Changsun Hao, anxious to the point of coughing up blood.
Half-spoken words really can drive a person mad.
Yuchi took deep breaths in various ways, looking miserably frustrated, before finally speaking a long sentence in one go.
"Earlier, Miss Bai came to me, mentioned that Xufu Town was attacked by other towns, and at that time, I told her not to be afraid."
"You should know I had been to Jiangzhou City and had good relations with its institutions, I had connections there."
"So I sent a letter to Jiangzhou City, asking them to handle the matter within ten days."
"Yesterday, they replied, saying the matter was resolved."
"This... isn't fake, is it?"
After finishing, in everyone's intense speechlessness, Yuchi fearfully took out the letter from his sleeve.
Changsun Hao opened it and laughed like a pig.
Others passed it around and took a glance at the letter's contents.
"Young Master Wei."
"Though the matter is hard to resolve, we did give you a few pointers that should help solve it."
"Come to Jiangzhou City next time, a new shop has opened recently, its jade stones are quite exquisite."
Signed "City Lord of Jiangzhou City."
"Oink!"
Changsun Hao laughed out loud like a pig.
Covering his mouth, trying to hold back, thinking:
"Too many things to complain about!"
"For a moment, I don't even know where to begin."
"Yuchi, so brazen!"
Families finally understood the events' unfolding.
So it was this, no wonder Yuchi was so calm, his hope was pinned on these scammers.
Turns out this guy brought out the Jade Pendant, just to show off.
