Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Noticed Something Amiss_1

The demoness casually snatched the garment and pinched the neckline’s jewel, suddenly widening her eyes, "Hey, where are my diamonds on this?"

"You’re stealing things too!"

"Uh, uh!" Before Shen Dong and Tang Yuchan could retort, someone from Tianyi Media stepped forward, "I think there may be some misunderstanding here. Looking at this young lady’s face, she doesn’t seem like someone who would cause trouble, or maybe..."

As he spoke, the man’s gaze shifted toward Shen Dong.

Unable to contain himself, Shen Dong let out a cold laugh, "I didn’t even touch it."

The demoness clerk immediately cut in, "Whether you touched it or not isn’t for you to say, there’s surveillance, and there are so many customers here."

There are always onlookers ready for a spectacle, and in no time, Shen Dong and Tang Yuchan were surrounded.

"What happened?"

"It looks like that kid stole the diamonds off the clothing."

"Really?"

"When three people say it, it becomes a tiger; public opinion is to be feared."

Although Shen Dong had a thousand ways to clap back, this was Shenchuan, "Call the police."

Shen Dong’s annoyance was undisguised as he shielded Tang Yuchan. The moment he spoke, the demoness suddenly screeched, "Stealing things and cursing people, see if I don’t slap you!"

When had he cursed at anyone? This was clearly a trap!

Anger rose in Shen Dong’s face, and as he watched the demoness charge at him, he raised his hand to strike back.

Just then, a stern voice bellowed, "Enough."

"How much is it? If I buy it outright, won’t that settle everything?" These resounding words came precisely from the man from Tianyi Media.

This game was getting interesting.

Shen Dong kept silent and glanced around.

The man from Tianyi Media, with his fingers pinching a shiny golden bank card, handed it to the clerk, "It looks like you’re trying to scam us. Wrap up the clothing for me; I want to see if there really are diamonds on it."

Shen Dong shot the man a sidelong glance and put a very ordinary post office bank card on the cashier counter, "Swipe it, wrap up the clothing for me."

At that moment, Shen Dong was thinking of calming the situation, with any issues to be resolved later.

The demoness clerk glanced at him with contempt, sneering, "Little thing, do you know how much this clothing is worth? Six million!"

A clever move.

With the crowd watching and the amount of six million, it was enough to exert significant pressure on the average person, and if the man from Tianyi Media helped to resolve the situation, he could almost instantly establish goodwill.

It was just about hiring actors; why set up a trap?

Confused, he subconsciously looked back.

Just then, the man from Tianyi Media also looked over, their eyes meeting. The man from Tianyi Media smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I, Huang Shan, will buy the clothing for you. Once I find a place to verify it, I’ll help you get justice!"

"So righteous."

"It’s really about having money, right? Six million, that is."

There’s a demon in abnormalities.

Pyramid scheme? Human trafficking?

With numerous doubts in his mind, Shen Dong instinctively pocketed his bank card, "Thanks, uncle."

His curiosity piqued, he unconsciously looked up at Tang Yuchan.

Tang Yuchan was even more motivated than Shen Dong, with her hands together in a prayer-like gesture, she gave a sincere bow, "Thank you so much, ah, can I treat you to a meal?"

"Don’t mention it, let’s skip the meal." This person from Tianyi Media was named Huang Shan.

He actually paid the money, signing his name on the six million bill and casually said, "I’d be honored if you could try out for a role in a play with me, and if you become a big star, just remember me."

"Me, am I really up for it?" You could see Tang Yuchan had certainly noticed something was amiss.

Her excited and bashful demeanor was truly charming.

Shen Dong smiled inwardly, quietly watching Huang Shan’s performance.

Once the clothes were packed and they were about to leave, Huang Shan threatened the clerk in a rather serious manner, "Wait, I’ll see what kind of clothes can actually sell for six million."

Shen Dong paid extra attention to the clerk’s expression, calm and composed, there was definitely something fishy.

He stealthily tugged at Tang Yuchan, his naive and adorable eyes looking at Huang Shan, "Uncle, can my sister really become a big star?"

"For real, I’ve never seen anyone with your sister’s exceptional talent, absolutely fantastic!" Huang Shan’s eyes sparkled, seemingly respectable, but he kept sneaking glances at Tang Yuchan.

"Sis, I want to go to the bathroom."

"You’re big enough, go on, be good and go by yourself."

Tang Yuchan’s zest for catching thieves was even more intense than Shen Dong’s, and at his words, her eyes lit up.

She sighed, her tone filled with nostalgia and wistfulness as she played along, "My brother grew up without a mother, he’s clingy, that, could you maybe wait here for a bit?"

Huang Shan glanced at the bathroom, thinking he couldn’t escape anyway.

He laughed and said, "I’ll buy you guys some ice cream cones, ah, have you two had your meal yet?"

"I want an ice cream cone, thank you, uncle." Shen Dong gave a polite bow and pulled Tang Yuchan towards the restroom.

When they were at a sufficient distance, Shen Dong stopped, spun around on the spot like a wild child, taking the opportunity to observe Huang Shan.

"He’s not here, hey, hurry up and tell me, what did you notice?" Tang Yuchan was, after all, an eighteen-year-old girl, utterly unable to contain her boundless curiosity.

"It’s hard to say, my gut tells me it’s either a pyramid scheme or human trafficking." Shen Dong leaned against the wall, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

He wanted to go, first because he found it thrilling, and secondly, he felt that Huang Shan, pretending to be a cultured man, was a consideration that there shouldn’t be any danger.

"Why do you say that?" He looked up and chuckled.

Tang Yuchan’s small hand propped up her chin, her tone channeling Sherlock Holmes, "The scent of his perfume is strong and mixed, also of very poor quality. The women he’s in contact with are definitely not stars, definitely up to no good."

"So do we go or not?" Shen Dong had already taken out his phone, just waiting for Tang Yuchan’s command.

"Of course we’re going." Tang Yuchan swung her fair fist, speaking indignantly, "Whether it’s trafficking women or Pyramid schemes, these people have caused so many families to fall apart, and so many innocent girls to be turned into... into tools for profit, huh, they won’t get away with this!"

Shen Dong gave a thumbs up, pointing behind him, "Keep an eye out, I’ll get Chengyu to cover our backs, ready to call the police."

"Okay!" Tang Yuchan leaned against the wall, still muttering, "Six million, who’d give a stranger a hundred bucks for no reason?"

At this moment, Shen Dong’s call connected as well.

Zhou Chengyu had already prepared the account as Shen Dong instructed, the money was all deposited and used to buy one third.

The stock market was a place of fluctuating trends, and Zhou Chengyu, having thrown out ninety million, sat watching it nervously for a while. Who could have thought that after just three minutes, the market soared, jumping from 430 to 490, the red line growing significantly.

He thought to himself that he’d probably make seven to eight hundred thousand at least, feeling elated. Upon receiving Shen Dong’s call, he excitedly began to share his joy, "Hey, I have to tell you..."

"How soon can you be at the entrance of the mall?" Shen Dong was rapidly devising a plan to catch the criminal, cutting Zhou Chengyu off.

Zhou Chengyu was still at the securities firm, made a wild guess, "I’ll be there right away, don’t worry..."

Fearing that Huang Shan might return unexpectedly, Shen Dong spoke very quickly, "Later, you hide near the mall entrance. We’ll be following a man soon.
