HCB Chapter 288 Crazy 648
Chapter 288 Crazy 648
Outside the bedroom door, Liang Yan's mother knocked on the door again and again.
"Xiaoyan! Hurry up and get up, or you'll be late for school!"
Liang Yan struggled continuously. He was conscious but unable to control his body.
My mother's cries rang in my ears over and over again. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky. It was so close yet so unreachable.
He tried desperately to open his eyes and respond to his mother, but his body seemed to be held down by an invisible force, too heavy to move at all. Fear surged into his heart like a tide, and every cell was occupied by fear.
His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat, and cold sweat continued to seep out of his forehead, soaking the pillow. He yelled madly at the old man: "Let me out! Let me out!"
The old man snorted coldly: "I told you, if you don't agree to help, then return the jade pendant to me immediately. If you can't return the jade pendant, then wait for death here!"
Liang Yan was anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only ask in a humble manner: "Why did you choose me? Are you sure that the jade pendant you gave me last night is worth millions?"
"I'm over 600 years old. Do you think I'm kidding you?" The old man lifted Liang Yan up with one hand and said coldly, "Boy, don't be ungrateful."
"I told you, the conservative estimate is several million. The value of this jade pendant is beyond your imagination. I chose you for a reason."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the girl likes you, and you're the only one who can make her take off the pendant with her own hands."
As the sound fell, the old man grabbed Liang Yan's collar with one hand and lifted him lightly into the air.
Liang Yan kicked his feet wildly and shouted in fear: "Old man, please put me down first, and we can talk it out!"
The old man sneered and threw him to the ground.
Liang Yan was knocked unconscious by the fall, but he didn't care about the pain and quickly got up.
"Why go to so much trouble? Can't I just snatch her pendant like it's a joke?" Liang Yan asked tentatively, rubbing his sore butt.
Bao Ying always had a red rope around her neck, but Liang Yan had never seen what kind of pendant was inside.
But he was not stupid. This old man who claimed to be from the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, but he did not dare to snatch it directly. He was afraid that the pendant was extraordinary.
The old man paced slowly, his expression solemn: "If it were that simple, would I still use you?"
"That pendant is made of a special material. I am a ghost cultivator and I dare not touch it. If you try to snatch it rashly, you will be bounced away."
"After thinking it over, the only solution I can think of is to let you pick her up!"
"Trick her into it, and then use your little brain and sweet talk to make her take the pendant off. Got it?"
Liang Yan was confused, but he understood the general meaning: "Grandpa, then I won't be in any danger or trouble, right?"
The old man glared at him and said, "Don't worry, there is no danger at all. On the contrary, it will do you a lot of good!"
"If you agree, I will help you get the jade pendant back. Then you can ask your family to find a professional antique shop or auction house, and it will definitely sell for a high price."
"And I told you yesterday that the jade pendant is just a deposit. If you promise me, I will be able to help you a lot more."
Liang Yan had no way out at all. If he didn't agree, he would die.
Helplessly, he could only agree.
"Okay, I promise you. How else can you help me?"
The old man smiled mysteriously: "If you have a girl you like, or someone you hate, I can help you."
"Also, after this is done, if you are willing, I can also accept you as my disciple and teach you how to practice!"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment: "Is this true? Then can I be as good as you?"
Before he finished speaking, he shook his head violently again: "Forget it, you are a ghost cultivator. If you accept me as your disciple, wouldn't that mean I would also become a ghost? I haven't responded enough, my life has just begun!"
Just then, Liang Yan heard the sound of a lock being unlocked.
It must be his mother knocking on the door, and she got anxious when she saw that he didn't move.
Liang Yan looked at the old man and said quickly: "Grandpa, please let me out. My mother is worried!"
The old man nodded and disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, Liang Yan opened his eyes and regained control of his body.
"Why are you sleeping so soundly, kid? I called you for a long time and you didn't respond!" Liang's mother scolded, and her heart was relieved.
Liang Yan smiled apologetically and then quickly washed up.
Looking at the time, it’s definitely too late to eat.
He grabbed the fried dough sticks on the table and put them directly into his mouth, mumbling: "Mom, I'm leaving first. It's too late!"
One minute before the start of morning self-study, Liang Yan appeared at the classroom door. He subconsciously looked at Bao Ying, and Bao Ying also looked up at him.
Their eyes met, Bao Ying smiled at Liang Yan, then quickly lowered her head.
From then on, Liang Yan had a mission and stuck to Bao Ying almost every day.
I once curiously asked her what she was wearing around her neck.
Bao Ying replied that it was just an ordinary pendant. Liang Yan was not in a position to continue asking...
After a long time, Liang Yan found out that Bao Ying's parents were too strict and there was no chance at all.
On the other hand, the owner of an Internet cafe died suddenly and was reported in the local news.
When Liang Yan found out, his body trembled slightly.
He looked at the old man and asked, "Why did you kill him? This is a living life!"
The old man didn't care and sneered: "He definitely deserves it. Who told him to be greedy? And he cheated you, doesn't he deserve to die?"
"I can tell you very clearly that you mortals are nothing but ants in my eyes."
Liang Yan took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little worried. If this thing was really done, would this old man just abandon him?
But at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and move on.
Liang Yan took the jade pendant back, but he did not give it to his parents. Instead, he begged the old man to accompany him to an antique shop.
On the one hand, he couldn't explain the origin of the jade pendant to his parents, and on the other hand, he was afraid of involving his parents.
If one day the old man really gets rid of him, his parents have never spent a penny of his money.
With the introduction of the antique shop owner, the jade pendant was sold to a private collector.
After deducting the 10% service fee given to the antique shop owner, Liang Yan had 900 million left!
Looking at the string of zeros in the account, Liang Yan was stunned for a long time.
This is probably money that many people cannot earn in their entire life, but he got it so easily!
After returning home, he opened Honor of Kings.
Crazy 648 started!
"Great, really great!" Liang Yan thought to himself, "It's great to have money!"
He also told the old man about Bao Ying's situation.
The old man didn't make things difficult for him and gave him a deadline.
Just figure it out before you go to college.
