Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 38 - 38 37 The Scam

38: Chapter 37: The Scam 38: Chapter 37: The Scam Song Yun, pretending to be a respectable gentleman, puffed out his chest, leading Li Shishi toward the shopping mall, ignoring all the stares around him.

Who the hell cares about the feelings of these people?

Everyone with a partner still glancing around, are they all looking to get scolded by their wives?

It must be said, shopping with Li Shishi does bring a lot of face.

Thus, Song Yun grandly waved his hand and announced, “Today I’m in a good mood.

Pick whatever you want; I’ll pay.”

Li Shishi gave Song Yun a sidelong glance and snorted, “You should be the one paying anyway.”

After visiting several stores with Li Shishi, they arrived at a women’s lingerie shop.

Song Yun, being a big burly man, felt awkward about entering, so he waited outside.

After waiting a long time without seeing Li Shishi come out, and noticing that she was happily chatting with the saleswoman, it seemed she wouldn’t be out soon, so he decided to head to the smoking area for a cigarette.

“How come just looking at clothes and not buying, they’re not even that expensive,” a young man next to Song Yun muttered gloomily while smoking.

“Going shopping with women is such a hassle.”

Hearing this, Song Yun chuckled and, smoking his cigarette, said to the young man, “Shopping has been in women’s nature since ancient times; it’s the same principle as them knowing from a young age to love beauty.

The true essence of their shopping is encapsulated in the very act of browsing.”

“You really think women keep browsing just to save money?

If you think that way, you are sorely mistaken.

After seeing one beautiful item, they instantly want to check out another, their curiosity growing stronger with each look.”

“When they finish looking at all the attractive clothes, they’ll pick a few that suit them best and try them on together.

Do you think everyone in the world is like us men, who would just walk into a store, pick the first thing they see, buy it without even checking if it suits them?

How would you know if there isn’t something better ahead if you don’t keep moving forward?”

Song Yun, watching Li Shishi still picking out lingerie inside the store, said contentedly, “Actually, bringing you guys along is kind of a treat.”

The young man, initially amazed by Song Yun’s words, looked puzzled upon hearing this, and curiously asked, “Big brother, shopping is tiring, how is it a treat?”

“I’ll tell you,” Song Yun said, raising his eyebrows and grinning mischievously.

“Every time they change clothes, it showcases a different side of their personality.

If you truly love a woman, she wants to show you every beautiful posture she has.

Isn’t that a treat?

Especially in a lingerie store, you know what I mean?”

Just as Song Yun was enlightening this young man, suddenly, angry voices came from the direction of Li Shishi.

Hearing this, Song Yun instantly stood up.

“Damn, I knew there would be trouble.”

Song Yun strode toward Li Shishi’s location, the young man following him with a gloomy expression.

Upon arrival, Song Yun saw Li Shishi standing at the entrance of a store, with an elderly woman sitting on the ground in the middle of the road and a middle-aged couple loudly scolding a few women beside her.

“This gentleman, this is really a misunderstanding.

I didn’t bump into your mother; she fell by herself, and I was just going to help her up,” Li Shishi explained.

“That’s impossible.

My mother is very healthy; she couldn’t have fallen by herself.

It’s clear you knocked her down and now you don’t want to compensate,” the middle-aged woman screamed.

Li Shishi was also helpless in this situation.

Just as she had finished shopping and was about to move on, she noticed the old woman had fallen.

Following her humanitarian instincts, Li Shishi went to help her up, but as she touched the old woman, a middle-aged couple suddenly appeared and demanded compensation.

And the old woman cooperated very well, staying slumped on the ground, emitting faint moaning sounds.

“It really wasn’t me, you have to believe me,” Li Shishi stood up and said.

“You say it wasn’t you?

Do you have any evidence it wasn’t you?

Just bring someone to vouch for you, and I’ll stop bothering you; you can go about your business,” the middle-aged man said empathetically.

Li Shishi frowned upon hearing this, thinking that she had been targeted by this couple but feeling frustrated at the lack of witnesses.

“It really wasn’t her; I can vouch for her,” a young girl from inside the store said softly.

“Hmph, since you’re vouching for her, you’ll have to bear the legal responsibility.

If it turns out my mother was really hit by her, then what you’re doing is perjury.

You’d be going to jail,” the middle-aged woman chattered incessantly.

The young girl obviously retreated back into the store, frightened by the middle-aged woman’s words.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman shouted even louder, “Everyone, come and see, this shameless woman knocked down my mother and won’t even compensate.

What sort of people are these?”

With her shouting, the crowd around them grew, pointing and whispering at Li Shishi.

There was even a particular plump middle-aged woman who, noticing Li Shishi’s good figure, slandered her by suggesting she was a prostitute.

Li Shishi felt very wronged by their slander.

It was rare for her to go out and now she had encountered such an incident.

“What’s everyone gathering here for?” Song Yun pushed through the crowd and asked as he approached.

Although he had heard the shouting from afar, Song Yun still wanted to understand the full story.

“These people are fraudsters, trying to cheat me,” Li Shishi said distressedly, then explained everything from beginning to end.

“I really didn’t hit this old woman; she fell down by herself, and I just wanted to help her up,” she said, her face bearing the color of grief.

Seeing Li Shishi’s innocent eyes and the other party’s aggressive demeanor, Song Yun also made up his mind.

It seemed this was mostly a scam organization, and considering her social status, Li Shishi wouldn’t deny hitting someone.

Recently, Song Yun had seen on TV in NJ city, an office worker who had helped an old person was tricked into being bankrupted.

He hadn’t expected to encounter a similar situation today right here.

“What you say is what goes?

Are you the ones who make the laws?” The middle-aged woman, seeing Song Yun’s unbranded clothes, realized he was just a poor kid.

If she extorted him, he definitely would not make a big deal out of it.
