Chapter 158 We Must Still Believe in Science
The man's name was Jiang Ping, and he was also a resident of Jinxiu Garden.
He didn't understand what Lin Sui meant by "settling accounts later".
He thought he had misheard; Lin Sui must have said "fortune telling."
Having witnessed many ghost stories, he was extremely apprehensive, so regardless of whether it was true or not, he tremblingly scanned the code and paid.
"Holy crap! Master Lin?"
Just as Lin Sui received the payment code, another young man strolled past.
Having watched the variety show, he recognized Lin Sui and the others at a glance. He rushed to Lin Sui's table, his eyes sparkling like a little fanboy: "Master Lin is so handsome, I can't believe I'm here..."
"First come, first served! I came first!" Jiang Ping thought he was also there to have his fortune told and was afraid of being beaten to it, so he hurriedly urged Lin Sui, "Quick, Master, come with me to catch the ghost first."
"No rush." Lin Sui sat calmly without moving, and asked in return, "Did you run into a ghost when your electric bike ran out of power and you thought you could just push it over since it wasn't far from a charging station?"
The young fan was taken aback upon hearing this, and gave Jiang Ping a strange look.
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Ping was so desperate that he was grasping at straws and never expected to encounter a true master. He was extremely excited.
Thinking back to what had just happened, his face was filled with fear: "I wanted to push the bike to charge it, but as soon as I pushed it a little way out, the bike, the bike actually came back by itself!"
As a professional off-road driver, Li Ye is qualified to speak on this: "Was the handbrake not properly engaged on the slope?"
Jiang Ping: "I swear, I pulled it perfectly, and besides, it wasn't even a slope!"
"That means someone pushed you to do it," Si Xingran said dismissively.
"No! I specifically went around to the front to check, and there was no one there!" Jiang Ping became even more agitated. "I thought it was a coincidence, so I went back to push it again, but, but the cart, it came back by itself, and there was still no one in front!"
[Holy crap! Could it really be a ghost? A ghost in broad daylight?!]
Are ghosts really this rampant now...? I wonder if you could help me write a paper?
【Wow, that's so mean! Could you also grab a charger for me? It's on the sofa; I'm too lazy to get out of bed. Thanks.】
"Oh no, I'm definitely being targeted by that ghost in the four buildings."
Seeing Jiang Ping's anxious and uneasy appearance, Lin Sui's eyes held a subtle expression.
Lu Xiang scoffed: "That ghost doesn't just target women, what are you afraid of?"
good question.
Lin Sui sighed inwardly, then noticed that Jiang Ping's expression looked extremely unnatural.
He stammered for a long time without answering, only urging Lin Sui again: "Master, hurry up, or the ghost will escape!"
Then he won't be able to sleep tonight either.
Lin Sui remained unmoved, instead looking at the young fanboy: "I think no one knows him better than you what's going on with him."
The young fan had mixed feelings, and also wanted to laugh.
He managed to hold it in and awkwardly said to Jiang Ping, "Um, if I'm not mistaken, the ghost you're talking about should be me."
"What???" Jiang Ping was dumbfounded.
The young fan scratched his head sheepishly: "I saw a driverless tram suddenly start moving. I thought the driver hadn't engaged the handbrake properly and was afraid it would hit other cars, so I pushed it back."
Then, he weakly held up two fingers: "Twice."
Jiang Ping: "..."
While the two were talking, Si Xingran casually pulled up the road surveillance footage near the charging station.
In the video, one of the two people first went around from the left to the front, and the other went around from the right to the back.
They then circled back from the other side.
And so, the two of them missed each other...
twice.
[Hahaha, what an amazing plot twist!]
I used to laugh at how fake it was when the male and female leads in idol dramas always brushed past each other without ever seeing each other. Now... I'm sorry, I was wrong.
No, this is too funny! I need to go share it with my girlfriends right away!
Seeing Jiang Ping completely stunned, the little fanboy was so embarrassed by his suppressed laughter that he almost turned red.
He coughed lightly and said, "I also thought it was quite strange at the time, but to be honest, I didn't think about it being a supernatural incident at all. I just thought the car was incompatible with my values."
Jiang Ping: "..."
"So when it's time to believe in science, we should still believe in it." Lin Sui took the cup of warm salt water handed to him by Yu Cinian and made a leisurely concluding remark.
Jiang Ping looked aggrieved and after a long while said, "Well, since there's no ghost, shouldn't you return my money?"
That's a huge waste of a thousand yuan!
Look, they've come to settle the score.
Lin Sui was not surprised at all: "Paying for fortune telling is about cause and effect. You seek peace of mind, and I give you peace of mind. That's cause and effect."
"What nonsense about cause and effect!" Jiang Ping said angrily. "You knew there were no ghosts, yet you still tricked me into scanning the code. You're just deliberately trying to scam me out of my money!"
[That's right. If there's nothing fishy going on, why would they trick people into scanning a QR code? Isn't that pure fraud?]
【No, is that your butt sandwiched between your ears? If you go to the hospital, the doctor makes you pay for an X-ray, but it turns out there's nothing wrong, do you want the hospital to refund your money?】
"I'm warning you, give me back my money right now, or I'll call the police!" Jiang Ping didn't care and lunged forward to snatch Lin Sui's phone.
Unfortunately, before he could get close, Tangxi swept his leg and knocked him to the ground.
Jiang Ping landed face-first on the ground, his nose bleeding profusely, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a long time.
Tangxi, hands on hips and chin raised, said, "You're making a scene... my legs are going to break!" If you keep making a scene, I'll break your legs!
Lin Sui added fuel to the fire: "If you don't want your wife to know about your dirty deeds, then go ahead and make a scene."
"You..." Jiang Ping, who was about to throw a tantrum, suddenly felt as if he had been choked, his voice stuck in his throat, leaving only a few meaningless syllables.
"Oh, judging from Master Lin's words, there's more gossip to come?" Si Xingran, who had been uninterested, immediately perked up. "Go ahead and tell me, I'll tell you and then I'll leave it at that. I promise I won't tell anyone else."
Lin Sui: "...You don't seem like the type to keep this from being leaked."
With the main cause and effect resolved, she shouldn't interfere in other matters.
Jiang Ping was also afraid that the secret would be exposed, so he ran away as fast as he could.
After helping the little fanboy explore science, he mustered up his courage and, under the death stares of five pairs of eyes, successfully got Lin Sui's autograph and left satisfied.
Lin Sui held the lid of the thermos, replenishing her fluids while waiting for the next person destined to meet her.
The destined person didn't arrive; instead, the destined person's nephew tried to stage an accident to extort money.
Seemingly thinking Lin Sui was drinking something delicious, a little toddler who looked no more than two or three years old stood not far away, biting his finger and gazing at her longingly.
Lin Sui found it amusing and beckoned to him, "Come here."
The little one, unaware of the dangers of the world, came without warning.
He wasn't looking where he was going, and before he knew it, he had kicked a table leg and fallen on his bottom.
The little boy stared blankly at Lin Sui, then burst into loud sobs.
"DouDou, DouDou, what's wrong?"
Zhuang Xiaomeng, preoccupied with her own thoughts, was lost in thought by the roadside when, without noticing, her nephew disappeared. Startled, she quickly followed the sound of crying to find him.
The little one cried loudly, sobbing very sadly.
He pointed at Lin Sui, sobbing incoherently, "He...he hit me..."
"..."
Lin Sui was also stunned, her hand still outstretched in mid-air.
Who hit whom?
