Chapter 66: Evil People Have Their Own Demise

"..." The old man was instantly silenced.

Chen Shu walked away with large strides, leaving behind a carefree figure.

"Quite interesting..." The old man shook his head and resumed his sleep.

...

Chen Shu made a detour to a herbal shop, purchasing all the remaining ingredients, depleting his once-filled treasury.

It could be said that he went from riches to rags in an instant.

He returned to his residential area, preparing to mix the potions.

"Hmm? Why is it so lively here?"

He noticed a crowd of over ten people gathered at the entrance of the residential area, and his instinct to join in on the commotion led him to approach.

"Can someone explain why I'm missing a thousand yuan from my bag? And how did my phone suddenly break?"

An elegantly dressed girl with a sharp demeanor questioned.

On the opposite side stood a teary-eyed little girl with slightly reddened eyes, at a loss for words.

The onlookers murmured among themselves, but no one stepped forward.

Chen Shu pushed through the crowd and approached the little girl.

"Niuniu, what happened?"

Chen Shu lifted the little girl into his arms. She was the daughter of his downstairs neighbor, so they were acquainted.

"Big Brother Chen Shu..."

The chubby-faced little girl suddenly became full of grievance, as if she had found solace and started sobbing uncontrollably.

"You must be her guardian, right?" The girl on the opposite side frowned and impatiently spoke.

"Tell your brother what happened."

Chen Shu completely ignored the girl and softly asked.

Only then did Niuniu stop crying and explain the situation in detail.

She had been playing at the entrance of the residential area and found a small bag. Not knowing who it belonged to, she waited at the same spot for two hours until the owner finally arrived.

Niuniu, initially happy for doing a good deed, didn't expect the owner to turn on her.

Instead of expressing gratitude, the owner accused Niuniu of taking the money from the bag and even damaging her phone.

"Big Brother Chen Shu, did I do something wrong?" The little girl looked at him with eyes full of grievance.

In a child's mind, it was difficult to understand why doing a good deed would result in such an outcome.

What the f*ck? Is this even a thing?

Chen Shu clenched his fists, unable to resist the urge to punch the girl.

At that moment, the girl, with an extremely impatient expression, said, "So, how are you going to handle this? I'm running out of time!"

Chen Shu's anger flared up, and options suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Option 1: Compensate the girl for the lost money. Reward: Obtain the title 'Legendary Sucker,' equipped effect: Increased likelihood of encountering unfortunate events.]

[Option 2: Ignore the girl and leave with Niuniu. Reward: Medium-grade Frost Potion.]

[Option 3: Stand your ground and, if necessary, resort to special measures to make the girl apologize. Reward: Abundant Beast Mastery.]

Is there even a need to choose?

Chen Shu held Niuniu in his arms and smirked as he asked, "How do you want to handle this?"

The girl's previously impatient expression turned somewhat greedy as she said, "Return the lost Huaxia coins to me, and replace my phone and bag with new ones."

Chen Shu grinned, "Hehe, you're dreaming with that ugly face of yours."

"What the f*ck do you mean?! Just say whether you'll compensate or not! If you can't, I'll call the police to handle it," the girl said with a cold expression, taking out her phone and threatening to report the incident.

Chen Shu looked disdainfully at her and said, "As you yourself admitted, your bag contained a thousand bucks and a nice phone. This bag has nothing in it, so obviously it's not yours. Why should I compensate?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers started to feel that it made sense!

With that, Chen Shu swiftly reached out his right hand and forcefully took the bag.

"Your bag? Bring it on!"

The girl couldn't anticipate Chen Shu's sudden attack. Seeing her bag being snatched, her anger skyrocketed, and she sharply exclaimed, "Nonsense! It's not my bag, but is it yours?"

Chen Shu waved the bag in his hand and said, "How can you prove it? The contents of the bag don't match yours."

"There's my ID inside. I'm called Haomeili. You can take it out!"

Chen Shu took out an ID card and compared it.

"Miss, are you serious? Are you sure this isn't your mom's ID card?"

The photo on the ID card looked nothing like her.

Haomeili's face turned red. She knew the other party was mocking her.

"Look at the name!"

"What can a name prove? You can be called Haomeili, he can be called Haomeili, and I can... cough cough, of course, I won't use that name."

Chen Shu remained composed and suddenly thought of something.

"Alright, let me ask you another question. If you answer correctly, I'll admit that the bag is yours."

"What question?"

Chen Shu took out the girl's ID card, covered it with both hands, and held it out flat, saying, "Which side is the front, the top or the bottom?"

"...," Haomeili was itching with anger. What kind of question was this? It had nothing to do with proving her identity.

"Not answering? Well, then there's nothing I can do."

Chen Shu shrugged, ready to leave with the bag.

"Wait!" Haomeili gritted her teeth and randomly guessed an answer, "The top side is the front!"

Chen Shu nodded, flipped both hands, and revealed the back of the ID card.

"You're messing with me, aren't you?!" Haomeili widened her eyes, realizing she had been played.

By doing it this way, the answer is not solely determined by the other party. Who knew Chen Shu would nod seriously and say, "You're smart, you figured it out!"

The rest of the people burst into laughter. When it came to teasing others and making them go crazy, Chen Shu was experienced. In Nancheng City, he was second to none. Who would dare to claim the first spot?

Haomeili exclaimed, "You're a grown man, bullying a little girl. Is that amusing?"

"Auntie, let's stop! I'm just a student," Chen Shu waved his hand, pretending to be modest. "When I see you causing trouble for others, you're not this weak."

"What do you want, then?" Haomeili softened a bit. She didn't expect Chen Shu to be so stubborn.

Chen Shu had a relaxed and content expression. "It's simple, apologize first, and then we can discuss the rest!"

Haomeili lowered her head, falling into silence. After a while, she murmured, "I... I'm sorry..."

"Niuniu didn't wear her glasses and couldn't hear clearly."

"You?!" Haomeili felt her anger rising to its peak. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry!"

"That's better," Chen Shu looked at Niuniu in his arms and asked, "Do you forgive Auntie?"

"I... I forgive her."

Niuniu was just a child with a kind heart. She didn't want to be too hard on the other person.

"Reward obtained: a large amount of Beast Taming Power!"

Chen Shu nodded and said, "Did you hear that? Niuniu hasn't forgiven you, so I'll take the bag first."

After saying that, he carried Niuniu and walked into the residential area.

"???!!" Haomeili felt a surge of anger in her chest. It was so uncomfortable!

"Aren't you deaf? Everyone has already forgiven me!" Haomeili pointed at Chen Shu, her hand trembling. It seemed like she was genuinely infuriated.

"You can't prove the bag is yours. Go ahead and call the police! Let the police prove it for you!"

Chen Shu didn't care at all and left with the bag, carrying Niuniu.

"Damn it!!" Haomeili continued to breathe heavily, her body twitching slightly, as if she was having a fit.

The surrounding crowd pointed and whispered, feeling extremely satisfied with Chen Shu's actions.

Truly, as the saying goes, "Evil will be punished by evil!"
