Chapter 420: Chapter 386: Defying Heaven’s Great Injustice

Jin Ye was like: "?"

Did he really look that much like a victim of injustice?

Seeing his hesitancy, the buzz-cut continued to speak.

"You don’t have to lend me any, you can go borrow it yourself, but I can’t guarantee how much it’ll cost then."

Anyway, the few hundred bucks that Jin Ye had just given him were not coming back.

With gritted teeth and a heavy step.

He decided to give the money!

After taking the money, the buzz-cut smirked slightly and strode into the classroom.

He was seen whispering something to the bespectacled boy and then, judging by the gestures, appeared to hand him the money.

Eventually, he borrowed the mourning attire for Jin Ye.

"How about that, bro? Didn’t I tell you I’d borrow it for you, and I did, right? Remember, it’s just for half a day, ha. You must return the mourning clothes after evening study, or else—"

The buzz-cut flexed his strong biceps.

Looking at his own slender body, Jin Ye nodded hurriedly, indicating that he would definitely return it on time.

As for what to do tomorrow...

Well, he’d worry about that when tomorrow came.

Up to this point.

The very first person to refuse Xin Yi and manage to borrow the mourning clothes was born.

...

Not just Jin Ye, Lighthouse’s Mary also turned down Xin Yi.

Being a woman,

She could clearly sense something off about Xin Yi’s attitude towards her.

At the very least, she definitely couldn’t accept that mourning attire!

Meanwhile, at this moment, Lighthouse’s live-streaming room was attracting the most viewers.

Compared to the heated confrontations between Jiang Xiao’s group of macho men and the wealthy second-generation school beauty Xiao Xue,

They were more interested in seeing what kind of sparks a woman like Mary would create with Xiao Xue~

But currently, she was still hesitating. Although she had declined Xiao Xue, she couldn’t decide whether to borrow the mourning clothes from the ninth graders.

What if it was a trap?

In the Lighthouse meeting room.

Someone posed a question.

"What do you think, should we use the hint now?"

"We might as well use it, there’s only so much time during lunch break, and who knows what will happen if Mary doesn’t borrow the mourning clothes in time?"

"We can give a hint, but make sure to remind her not to let the middleman make a profit off her!"

The final person’s comment was met with everyone’s agreement.

[Ding~ Received an external reminder]

[Mary, you can borrow mourning clothes from the upper grades, Junior Three Class Two, second row in the classroom, there’s a bespectacled boy. Just now, Jin Ye spent three hundred yuan to borrow them through someone.]

The message was concise.

Lighthouse did not fully detail Jin Ye’s unjust act to Mary.

"Junior Three Class Two?"

Mary nodded her head; if it was an external reminder, then it must be reliable.

After arriving at the entrance of Junior Three Class Two, she immediately spotted the bespectacled boy.

While everyone else was resting, there he was, solving problems attentively.

"Little brother? Little brother?"

After calling out several times, Mary outside the classroom finally drew the bespectacled boy’s attention.

"Little brother, could you come out for a second? I have something I need your help with."

The bespectacled boy frowned, glanced at the half-finished test paper, and eventually left the classroom.

"You need something from me? I don’t think I know you?"

"Um, it’s like this."

Mary briefly explained her goal of borrowing the mourning attire.

Afterward, she added one more thing.

"For a fee, I should give you some money, like it’s a rental?"

Seeing that the bespectacled guy was still not speaking, Mary didn’t hesitate anymore and directly offered three hundred.

"No need for that, really. I thought it was something serious, but it’s just borrowing mourning attire? I’ll take it off and lend it to you for two days."

Ah?

Not only was Mary baffled, but the people in the livestream were also dumbstruck.

"Or, can you take a little bit of money, so I can wear it with peace of mind?"

Eventually, under Mary’s insistence, the bespectacled guy accepted a hundred bucks...

He only wanted fifty, but Xiao Xue gave him hundred-dollar bills.

Looking at the generous bespectacled guy, Mary still couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked.

"Aren’t you afraid of violating school rules?"

"School rules?"

The bespectacled guy touched his nose, indicating that since he is a good student and the teachers dote on him, not wearing the school uniform once or twice wasn’t a big deal.

"I’m a top student who could get into the province’s best high school; they usually don’t punish me."

What the heck?

Everyone: (꒪ㅂ꒪‧̣̥̇)

Indeed, a good student who excels academically and is approachable is loved by the teachers.

[Sorry, I owe the bespectacled brother an apology.]

[Apology +1]

[Ah? What happened? Why apologize?]

[Uh, I saw everyone else resting just now, and he was the only one doing papers. Thought he was a try-hard.]

[Exactly, I thought so too, was even mocking him for putting on airs.]

[Turns out he’s a real scholar!]

[Not just a good student, but a really good guy. Just compare the buzz cut guy with the bespectacled bro, see the difference?]

[Cough, am I the only one who noticed? The bespectacled bro said the mourning attire could be "lent to Mary for two days," instead of what the buzz cut said about having to return it after evening self-study...]

[Asking out of ignorance, how many times did Jin Ye get shortchanged in the transaction with buzz cut guy?]

Initially, the "benefit fee" should have been around a hundred or two hundred.

Seeing the buzz cut guy hesitate, Jin Ye promptly gave him another two hundred.

In the end, the buzz cut guy went to help him borrow the bespectacled guy’s mourning attire for three hundred.

So, about seven hundred bucks in total?

Mary only spent a hundred...

Well, that’s beside the point. The mourning attire that buzz cut helped Jin Ye borrow was only for half a day’s time.

The implication of doing so was self-evident.

It was to sell it back to him tomorrow after Jin Ye returned it that evening.

[Selling and conning?]

[666, looking forward to a follow-up performance tomorrow.]

[This buzz cut is really a business genius, with one move he made a fortune without spending a dime.]

....

At this time, the higher-ups of the Kimchi crew were livid.

They had thought that although Jin Ye had taken a loss, at least he had managed to borrow the mourning attire.

In their eyes, it wasn’t a big deal, even thinking Jin Ye was very clever, worthy of showing off and praise.

If it weren’t for Mary, that would indeed have been the case.

But now with hindsight, it made Jin Ye’s maneuvers seem utterly infantile.

"Damn it! What a fool! He’s embarrassed our Kimchi crew!"

"Utterly stupid!"

"Alright, alright, whether Jin Ye is stupid or not is beside the point for now. What we need to think about is whether or not to inform him about Mary’s transaction."

"Of course we must tell him! Otherwise, this big idiot might continue to trade with buzz cut tomorrow, do you want to see what the comments say about ’[Second time’s the charm]’?"

"Wait, even if we tell him, we can do it after evening self-study ends, no rush."

Let’s wait and see a bit longer.

Even if he gets conned, that’ll be a problem for tomorrow, but tonight, something big is definitely going to happen.

"Haha, we don’t need to be too hard on ourselves. We were conned, yes, but it’s only the first time, we lack experience. Just look at Dragon Country’s Jiang Xiao, he still doesn’t have a single thread of the mourning attire till now!"
