Chapter 33 Chapter 33. X-ray
The man gulped. His fear was visible to the naked eye.
However, he had just been talking big, and if he backed down now, he would lose face more or less.
And so,
he targeted me again.
âKid, didnât your mother tell you not to mess with people you shouldnât?
Iâll remember you.â He looked so fierce, trying to make me retreat.
In exchange for some face.
âMy mom told me not to talk to an idiot like you.â
I pretended to be helpless and shook my head. âSigh, even so, Iâve still been merciful and taught you a lesson. Donât be too touched.â
The man was so angry that he almost fainted.
He looked at me like he was looking at an enemy.
But after a long time, he still couldnât figure out how to refute me, so he could only swallow his harsh words.
âYou wait! You wait!â
After that, the man took his raw material and left angrily, not caring about the girl sitting on the ground.
Looking at his back, my expression was indifferent as I coldly said, âCoward.â
âThis kind of trash only knew how to bite his family.â
A moment later, I turned around to face the crowd.
âEveryone, please disperse. Donât cause any blockage.â
â¦
Seeing that there was nothing to see, the surrounding crowd dispersed.
I stepped forward and helped the girl who had fallen beside the stone-cutting machine.
The girl looked up at me gratefully.
I could only see her face clearly at such a close distance.
She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a delicate face. Her black hair hung straight behind her back. Her appearance was as pure
and lovely as the spring breeze.
The handprint on her face made her look even more pitiful, which incited my desire to
protect her.
âThank you,â When I helped her, she cried and expressed gratitude to me.
âYouâre too polite.â I gave her a comforting look. âItâs nothing.â
At this moment, Catherine also came to my side.
Catherine hugged the girl and comforted her.
âMiss, that man just now is your boyfriend?
âI asked tentatively.
âNo.â The lady shook her head. âHeâs my
brother.â
âJust call me Shen Yanyan.â Shen Yanyan said
her name.
She looked around and told us her story in a low voice when she saw a few people
everywhere.
âIâm very good at stone gambling, so my
brother always brings me here to gamble. He also earns a lot of money because of my
ability.
But in private, heâs not very good to me. Because my parents passed away when I was young, and my brother raised me, he always thought I was a burden and beat and scolded
me.
Shen Yanyan rolled up her sleeves as she
spoke.
Under her wide sleeves, there were bruises.
And this is only what we can see at the moment. In other words, Shen Yanyanâs entire body might be covered with even more
terrifying scars.
âBeast!â Catherine cursed.
My face was also filled with anger.
Shen Yanyan smiled weakly. âI was helping
my brother to bet on stones as usual, but I was too tired and accidentally made a mistake. Thatâs why my brother scolded me in
front of everyone.
Am I that useless?â Shen Yanyan shook her
head bitterly.
âWhy could you?â I said gently, âYouâre great.
Stone gambling has always been problematic. Youâre so talented that you can accurately judge whether thereâs jade. Itâs not easy.â
I looked at Shen Yanyan encouragingly again. âTrust me; even if you leave your brother, you can still make a name for yourself.
Even if we donât talk about wealth, with your
ability, you donât have to worry about food and clothing.â I said.
Shen Yanyanâs ability is powerful, so Iâm only being conservative.
It wasnât difficult for her to become rich.
âIs it true?â Shen Yanyanâs eyes were filled with hope.
But soon, Shen Yanyan thought of something,
and her hope was extinguished.
âBut my brother wonât let me go. Heâll take
me back,â Shen Yanyan sobbed. âIf Iâm taken back, Iâll end up in a terrible state.â
âWhat are you afraid of? Weâre in a society
ruled by law now.â My eyes were determined.
âHeâs your brother.
And you are an independent person. He canât control your actions and thoughts.
If he forces you to help him again, use
reasonable means to protect yourself!â I said righteously.
Shen Yanyan is in a dangerous situation. If I can save her â¦
She would become a good business partner!
âReally?â Shen Yanyan was still hesitant.
But it was clear that she yearned for freedom.
She didnât dare to do so in the past because she was imprisoned.
If she took the first step, she could usher in a
ârebirthâ.
âDonât worry,â Suddenly, Catherine said thoughtfully, âMy name is Catherine. I will help you escape from the scumbag. Yanyan, are you willing to believe me?â
Catherineâs eyes were filled with sincerity.
Catherineâs sincerity even moved Shen Yanyan more.
âNot just her; Iâll help you too,â I said.
âYour brother is all alone. How can he defeat
us?â I continued to persuade her. âI promise that your life after you escape from your
brother will be different from before.â âAlright!â Because of our constant persuasion, Shen Yanyan finally tried to escape the cage.
âI will not be controlled by him again!â She
became more and more determined and finally smiled.
After Shen Yanyan made up her mind, I let
her live near my house.
So, Shen Yanyan naturally followed us to
stone gambling Street.
[ Remaining time for the upgrade mission: 30 minutes. ]
[ Please complete it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will not be able to upgrade the
system. ]
After the systemâs voice sounded, I felt a headache.
There was still half an hour left, but I had no
clue, so I could only wander around stone gambling Street.
If that were the case, it would be strange if the mission could be completed.
âBrother Luo,â Shen Yanyan suddenly called
me.
I was pulled back from my thoughts and
raised my eyebrows at her. âWhatâs the
matter?â
Shen Yanyan didnât reply to me directly. Instead, she went to the most oversized stone-gambling stall.
âBrother Luo, you can point at any material you want.â Shen Yanyan said meaningfully. I was a little confused; what was Shen Yanyan
doing?
But in the end, I accepted her good intentions. I casually pointed at the raw material in the
corner.
âBrother Luoâs luck is pretty good. This piece is a bean seed.â Shen Yanyan didnât even touch the raw material. âIf you buy it, you can make a few thousand Yuan.
Point again.â Shen Yanyan continued. I was still shocked as I randomly pointed to another slightly larger raw material.
Shen Yanyan shook her head. âThis one wonât
pity it has cracks. However, you can still earn
some money. Unfortunately, this one doesnât have any green either.â
Brother Luo is so lucky. It has an ice seed! Although small, you can earn a few hundred thousand.â
|| ||
I pointed
at a few of them, and Shen Yanyan
could tell the internal structure of the raw material in an instant.
Catherine was also shocked, but her eyes were filled with suspicion.
But I donât think sheâs talking nonsense. After
all, Shen Yanyanâs brother had become rich
because of her.
Iâm shocked that she didnât even touch the
raw material and could answer the internal
structure of the raw material. A guess flashed through my mind, and I suddenly woke up.
