Scammers Have a Code of Conduct, Too

When she returned, Shi Yu reminded her. "Password: your birthday."

The loud thumping bass music on the dance floor was deafening, but Shen Chen heard the magnetic voice.

She could not even remember her own birthday and yet that guy had found it out?

The bartender's brow furrowed as Shen Chen disappeared from his sight.

He guessed that she was probably the woman whom the young master, Shi Yu, had taken a liking to.

The young master spent so much just to please her. Unfortunately, she was a cold beauty.

While thinking of that, he quietly gave himself a pat on the back for not doing anything stupid. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay.

He still remembered that a year ago, someone cussed before the young master, and the next day, that person was incapacitated.

Half a year ago, some media accused him of being a homosexual, and the next day, that newspaper had gone belly up.

Three months ago, someone hit his car, and the next day, that accused claiming to be the president of a car dealership was declared bankrupt.

A month ago, some reporters secretly took a photograph of him sleeping, and the next day, those reporters were abducted and thrown into the hunting ground, running naked with a pack of wolves.

No one knew their fate in his hands.

Shen Zhongming was staring at the gold card on the table, shifting his sitting position occasionally.

"Did someone give you this?" He was not sure of what he was seeing.

"Nope."

That person did not say he was giving the gold card to her as a gift, it seemed.

"You conned someone into giving you that?" Shen Zhongming asked again.

"Nope."

"You… stole it?" He was shocked. "Scammers have a code of conduct, too. You can't just steal like that!"

"Can't you say something nice?"

"Then tell me where you got this gold card. Don't let me guess!" Shen Zhongming could not hold back his curiosity.

"No one asked you to guess" Shen Chen's brows were knitted together. "Does it concern you?"

"It does…" Shen Zhongming pointed at something at the doorway. "The door is broken. We have got to use the money on the card to fix it. Otherwise, how can I look for you if you were taken away in the middle of the night?"

"Get out of my sight!"

"You're not going to tell me? Fine, I'm going to sleep…"

"Hey…" Seeing him leaving, Shen Chen rolled her eyes. "Come back."

As if he had expected it, Shen Zhongming looked back with a smile. "Girl, I knew you would…"

Shen Chen cocked an eyebrow. "When is my birthday?"

"September 8, XXXX."

Shen Zhongming answered without thinking.

Shen Chen was pleased. "At least you remember it."

While speaking, she picked up the gold card and threw it toward him.

Shen Zhongming caught it in his hand. "Go buy a new door," said Shen Chen.

A smile broke out on his face. "As you wish, Your Highness!"

So he headed out in a whirlwind but returned just as quick in less than half an hour.

He was sweating profusely. He did not buy a new door or bring back any carpenter.

"Is the ATM not working?" Shen Chen squinted at him.

He just shook his head, wiping away the sweat.

"Wrong password?"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head again.

Shen Chen tried to be patient. "Is there something wrong with the card?"

He kept shaking his head in denial.

Shen Chen finally burst out. "Can't you speak, can you?"
