Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Swindling Liao Xuexue’s Money

Liao Xuexue watched Ye Chen make faces at her, then turned to see Teacher Ye opening the payment QR code, and suddenly came back to her senses.

"Ah..."

"Alright, alright, I’ll just transfer the money to you."

Liao Xuexue didn’t dawdle.

After all, the money originally belonged to Teacher Ye, and it was just an advance on her salary.

Liao Xuexue herself wasn’t short of money, and at the moment, she felt that even without pay, she would want to follow Teacher Ye, if only to broaden her horizons.

So, without hesitation, she transferred the 14,000 her grandfather had sent her, all to Teacher Ye.

Watching the bet conclude, Ye Chen tossed the useless handgun into the keepnet.

And the audience in the live stream room were dumbfounded, from Ye Chen predicting the gun’s exact specifications, to later tricking Liao Xuexue out of 14,000 with his slick moves.

At the same time.

Old Liao, who had been eyeing Ye Chen, couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

What was his granddaughter doing with that Ye Chen? Why were they playing with a phone, could it be they’ve added each other on WeChat?

That little rascal Ye Chen really knew when to make his move!

"Xuexue, come here!"

The more he thought about it, the more Old Liao felt something was off, so he waved at Liao Xuexue, planning to find out what was going on.

As Liao Xuexue walked towards her grandfather, Ye Chen also took the chance to glance at his phone screen.

"Damn it, I’m stunned. The streamer blessed a fishing rod, and it’s so impressive, even predicting what he would catch!"

"I reckon Teacher Ye must be running wild with a million ’mud-horses’ in his head, it was supposed to be a carp but ends up being a handgun..."

"Dying laughing here, last night the streamer got a lecture from sir police about not calling the police promptly, now that he’s caught a gun and turned it in, will he get praised by sir policeman?"

"Actually, I’m not surprised, the streamer is the same as ever, didn’t catch a single fish, haha!"

"This streamer really took mysticism to an extraordinary level, it’s baffling. To quote sir police from yesterday, it must just be a coincidence."

"The streamer’s show is full of effects! If Old Liao knew his granddaughter’s allowance got swiped by Teacher Ye, he might explode!"

"He definitely will explode, and I bet Old Liao will shout: I’m so pissed!"

"Hahaha, I’m dead laughing, isn’t the streamer a bit too much? Such a beautiful, kind-hearted and sweet girl, and he still scams her?"

"No way around it, the streamer is just that greedy. Ask why he’s greedy? Naturally, it’s to buy more fishing gear to fish!"

...

These people were either Ye Chen’s long-time fans or viewers who watched last night’s entire recorded video.

Of course, there are also voices of doubt in the live stream room.

"It’s just too fake, even scripts wouldn’t dare to play out like this, I think East Sea’s King of Fishing is right, there must be something fishy going on in the water!"

"Agree, I also think it’s fake, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, to use a phrase from East Sea’s King of Fishing, if the streamer were for real, he might as well go buy lottery tickets."

"Live streaming on the internet is indeed getting messier by the day, anyone can get popular, still pretending to perform mystic blessings on fishing rods, I think he’s just a beggar!"

"A beggar? I think he’s a scammer, even tricking money from a pretty girl, no shame at all!"

"Really disgusting, but I actually want to see what other tricks this streamer has, thinking we’re all idiots?"

"I’m following East Sea’s King of Fishing now, waiting for his reveal video!"

"I bet everyone won’t wait until the streamer hands the gun over to the police. Even if he did, it’s probably just a toy gun!"

"Blessing a fishing rod? Even if you claim that the corpse is real, does it mean everything else is real? It’s just mysticism all smoke and mirrors!"

...

As for these online detractors, Ye Chen had grown accustomed to ignoring them.

Indeed, the fact that he could predict the catch was truly outrageous.

But he had to blame it on the system!

It was normal for people to not believe it, but he had no fondness for these cyberbullies.

Just because you don’t understand something, does that mean you go online and trash people?

Of course, Ye Chen knew that the more these people cursed him, the more they were just adding to his popularity.

When the time came for him to slap their faces hard, his fame would rise even higher.

Soon, Ye Chen’s eyes fixated on the fishing float in the distance.

This time, he was determined to hook a truly astonishing behemoth.

No...

A big fish!

On the other side.

Seeing her granddaughter coming over, Old Liao looked suspiciously towards the distant Ye Chen and quietly asked: "Xuexue, what did you just say to that boy Ye Chen?"

"Did he ask for your WeChat? You can’t give it to him, have you forgotten what Grandpa told you?"

"That guy is no good!"

"Ah, Grandpa..." Liao Xuexue pouted, feeling her grandfather was being too much.

Wasn’t he being too prejudiced against Teacher Ye?

He used to address him respectfully, but now he’s just ’that boy’...

Seeing his granddaughter looking like this, Old Liao suddenly had a bad feeling.

He rubbed his cloudy old eyes, which bulged like bull’s eyes, and asked: "Are you two... dating?"

For a moment, Liao Xuexue’s face turned red, and she said somewhat angrily: "Ah, Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? I’ve just met Teacher Ye, how could I possibly be with Teacher Ye..."

Hearing this, Old Liao breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, that’s good. I saw you both holding phones earlier, chatting away so enthusiastically."

"Right..." Old Liao suddenly realized something, becoming tense: "Even adding each other on WeChat is not okay!"

"Let me tell you, if that kid adds you on WeChat, he’ll probably pester you every day."

"If you’ve added him on WeChat, you should block him immediately."

Liao Xuexue looked at her grandfather with surprise: "Grandpa, we haven’t added each other on WeChat, and Teacher Ye really isn’t like what you said."

Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Old Liao felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

"We just made a bet," Liao Xuexue explained slowly.

"What? Made a bet?" Old Liao, upon hearing those familiar words, instantly stood up from his chair: "God damn!"

At this moment, Liao Xuexue had no idea that her grandfather had also made a bet with Teacher Ye.

Even less did she know that she was the "stake" her grandfather lost to Ye Chen.

So she told her grandfather all about how she made the bet with Teacher Ye, as well as the process of the betting.
