In all these years, Mr. Shang had fooled countless people. This was the first time he had been tricked to this extent.
Not only did he lose his money, but he also wasted his time. The more Mr. Shang thought about it, the more depressed he felt. In the end, he went to the bar that he frequented and ordered a few bottles of discounted beer. He drank alone to drown his sorrows.
However, the more he drank, the more sad he became. Every time he thought about how much money he had lost, Mr. Shang's heart would ache even more. Even if his mind was not clear, he was still extremely sad.
The bar owner and Mr. Shang were not considered as friends but he had known him for a long time. Seeing Mr Shang drinking alone, he took a glass of whiskey and sat beside Mr Shang."What's wrong with you? You drank so much alone."
As he spoke, he pointed at the beer bottles in front of Mr. Shang.
The alcohol numbing his brain made Mr. Shang lose his usual vigilance. He looked at the bar owner slowly. After a long while, he seemed to have recognized this person. He said while reeking of alcohol, "I'm fine. It's just... I'm just feeling vexed."
"Annoyed, " Mr. Shang muttered as he picked up another bottle and took another big gulp.
"You are such a benevolent person. What's there to be annoyed about?" The bar owner shot a look at the bartender who was about to serve Mr. Shang a drink. The bartender immediately took the beer down and stopped serving Mr. Shang.
Mr. Shang looked at the bar owner for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I have been scamming people all day long, but one day, I was also scammed. I even lost my entire fortune." As he spoke, Mr. Shang actually choked on his words. He looked rather pitiful.
The bar owner asked, "Why didn't you call the police?"
At the mention of this, Mr. Shang felt even more aggrieved. He looked at the bar owner with reddened eyes and said, "I want to call the police. I have already walked to the entrance of the police station."
"You didn't go in?"
Mr. Shang instantly became furious."They threatened me. They threatened that if I called the police, they would take my life."
At this point, Mr. Shang recalled his previous experience. He was filled with hatred and fear. In order to hide it, he took a big gulp of beer.
While Mr. Shang was speaking, the bar owner had been observing him. When he saw his expression change, he understood that he had learned his lesson.
"Then why must you be a swindler?"
Mr. Shang was only in his forties and yet he was crying like a child. Furthermore, he was crying out of fear. 𝑓𝓇ℯ𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷oѵe𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
Mr. Shang cried shamelessly for a long time. He cried until his fear and hatred were almost gone. Then, he finally stopped."But what can I do if I don't become a swindler? I don't have any education, no connections, and I'm still very old."
The bar owner felt sorry for Mr. Shang as well. ?What kind of tragedy was this??Initially, he wanted to pat Mr. Shang's head lovingly. However, looking at Mr. Shang's shiny bald head, the bar owner looked at his own hand and ultimately did not touch it. ?Forget it, forget it. Let's talk about the main topic.
"If I told you that I have a way to get the money back, would you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shang immediately perked up and rushed up to grab the bar owner's hand."Is what you said true? Is there really a way?"
The bar owner pushed Mr. Shang's hand away with a fake smile."Although you lied to the Yun family, they are a big family after all. They can't do anything to you. Why don't you try turning yourself into the Yun family?"
Mr. Shang did not think that this idea was a good one. His expression immediately became dejected as he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Look at you, you're just a blockhead." The bar owner tapped Mr. Shang's head."Firstly, you don't have any deep hatred with the Yun family, and secondly, you don't have any conflict of interest. If you give up the dark and turn to the light now, why won't they accept you?"
These words still did not make Mr. Shang happy. In fact, Mr. Shang even thought that if someone stole the proposal that he had painstakingly prepared, he would probably beat that person to death.
"Are you thinking that if it were you, you would definitely beat the person who scammed you to death?" After he finished speaking, he sighed softly."Otherwise, how could the Yun family save up such a huge family business while you can only be a scammer?"
"Is that so?"
With his slow brain, Mr. Shang could not think about this matter very well. Before he could think, the bar owner said, "If they get you, won't they have evidence that the mastermind wanted to harm them? They will definitely protect you then."
Hearing the bar owner's words, Mr. Shang slowly felt that he was very important, so important that he could affect the friendliness and hostility of the entire upper-class society.
After a while, under that hot-blooded atmosphere, Mr. Shang's thoughts returned to normal. He used his brilliant brain to think and felt that although this method wasn't considered good, it was the best outcome he could choose so far.
When Mr. Shang looked at the bar owner again, his eyes lit up.
