The vagrant whom he addressed as Zhu Yuan didn't seem to like him much, but didn't show it. "Xue Tong, don't slander me, I haven't swindled anyone's money."
"How can you say that? You tricked me into thinking you were helping me assess a jade stone, and when we found jade, you wanted to keep it for yourself. Everyone knows about it, have you forgotten?" Xue Tong said with a sneer.
Indeed, there were some people around who had heard about this incident.
They had all concluded that Zhu Yuan was trying to steal Xue Tong's jade, hence they had always been wary of him.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuan couldn't find anyone to help him.
"But I'm quite curious, everyone knows your true nature, so how can people still fall for your tricks?" Xue Tong asked with genuine curiosity.
"It's all because the newcomers don't know anything; poor girl, she lost a hundred bucks," someone in the crowd said gleefully.
Only then did Xue Tong notice Lin Zhi standing beside.
