Chapter 206 - Distortion of the Heart?
Jiang Hao fidgeted with something in his pocket before stepping forward to inquire.
“Ma'am, are you okay?”
Upon hearing him, the middle-aged woman's face broke into a sly smile.
Then she unleashed a tirade of curses at Jiang Hao.
“Okay? Are you kidding me? Are you blind?”
“My leg!”
“If you don't cough up two hundred thousand, you're not getting out of here today, you little rascal!”
At that moment, Soong Wan seemed to catch on to something and her anger flared.
The bystanders started to realize what was happening too.
“Those youngsters are out of luck, running into a scammer like that!”
“Man, why would someone with able hands and feet stoop to such lows?”
“Is this a twist of the soul or a complete moral decay?”
……
Sympathy for Jiang Hao began to grow among the crowd.
Yet, even as the Deliberately-Provoking Woman berated him, Jiang Hao remained unfazed.
“Sister, I've got the two hundred thousand. Stand up, and I'll give it to you right now.”
With that, Jiang Hao went back to his car and retrieved the two hundred thousand in cash he had just taken out, intending to keep it on hand for emergencies.
The onlookers gasped in astonishment as Jiang Hao actually pulled out two hundred thousand in cash from his car.
“Whoa, talk about loaded!”
“Holy smokes! Now I see why someone physically fit would choose this line of work!”
“Doesn't the money come a little too easily?”
……
In that moment, the Deliberately-Provoking Woman was taken aback to see Jiang Hao actually produce the two hundred thousand.
She hadn't expected it to be this easy: ask for money and receive it!
As she eyed the two hundred thousand, a wave of elation washed over her, followed by a pang of regret.
“If only I had known, I would've asked for more!”
Then, Jiang Hao extended the cash towards her.
“Here you go, sister, two hundred thousand for you.”
Jiang Hao said with a smile, handing the money to the Deliberately-Provoking Woman.
Suddenly, she and the onlookers gave Jiang Hao peculiar looks.
“Isn't this kid a bit too naive?”
More than a few people were thinking the same thing at this point!
They couldn't believe Jiang Hao would fail to see through such an obvious scam.
Even Soong Wan, standing next to him, couldn't resist tugging at Jiang Hao's arm.
Jiang Hao glanced at Rong Soong Wan'er, offering her a look that promised everything was under control.
The Deliberately-Provoking Woman grasped the two hundred thousand in her hands, bewildered yet elated at her sudden windfall. Jiang Hao's odd behavior was now the furthest thing from her mind.
“Perhaps he really is a fool,” she mused to herself.
Clutching the stack of cash, she hastily verified its authenticity. Once she confirmed every bill was genuine, she clambered up from beneath the car, unable to contain her excitement.
Turning to Jiang Hao, she unexpectedly bestowed upon him the title of a good Samaritan. “Young man, you truly are a good person!”
At her words, Jiang Hao offered a cryptic smile and nodded.
The woman chuckled, righting her electric scooter. “I'm all good now, you all can go on your way!”
Jiang Hao responded with a crafty grin. “Big sister, I'm glad you're okay!”
The onlookers chose not to interject, each absorbed in their own thoughts.
“Damn, how could we mistake such a sharp guy for a fool?”
But as they were all mentally dismissing Jiang Hao as a simpleton, he spoke up.
“Big sister, you may be fine now, but it seems I've got a problem.”
The Deliberately-Provoking Woman paused, asking without thinking, “What's wrong?”
The crowd's curiosity piqued.
With a fox-like smile, Jiang Hao posed a question. “Big sister, do you have any idea how much my car is worth?”
