After the aunt left, Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo waited for nearly an hour before the second customer who wanted his fortune told arrived.
It was a man with shifty, beady eyes.
He sat down casually opposite Ji Nanshu, even picking his teeth with his little finger. "You can't refuse to pay?"
Ji Nanshu glanced at the man, then looked away and asked, "You can't just refuse money? Who do you think you are?"
The man, who was about to speak, suddenly frowned. Was this person insulting him?!
Seeing that the man remained silent, Ji Nanshu asked again, "Guest, who do you think you are?"
His tone was extremely sincere.
[I suspect Ji Nanshu was swearing, and I have evidence!]
[You're just doubting it? I'm different; I'm absolutely certain my son is cursing him!]
[Oh my, our Shubao is so cute when he swears!]
[That guy surnamed Ji has no manners at all. People even went to him for fortune telling, and he actually started swearing at them!]
[Damn, I want to curse him too. Growing such long nails and picking his teeth in public is really disgusting!!]
"Then tell me when I'll get rich!" The man crossed his legs again. "If you can't tell me... ha, not only will I not pay you, you'll have to pay me back!"
Ji Nanshu replied very patiently, "No problem."
Seeing that Ji Nanshu was so agreeable, the man couldn't help but feel smug. "You're smart! Now, tell my fortune! I want to see what tricks you charlatans can come up with!"
It's as if telling his fortune is some kind of blessing; it's disgusting to even look at.
Ji Nanshu continued to smile, "Indeed, I can't figure out any tricks. I only know that you had plenty to eat and drink in the first half of your life, and you will have plenty to eat and drink in the second half as well."
The man scoffed, "That's it? I thought you could figure something out! You're just a fraud!"
"A liar?" Ji Nanshu looked up in surprise after finishing the message. "I never lie."
The man kicked the table and sneered, "You didn't calculate it at all! Pay up!"
[Is this person trying to scam me?!]
[Hey, wait a minute. Where's Chu Gouzi?! His wife was being bullied and nobody's around!]
[I think Ji Nanshu is complete nonsense. Everyone has enough to eat and drink!]
"Did I miscalculate? Didn't you have plenty to eat and drink for the first half of your life? After all, you grew up in wealth, and even after your family went bankrupt, your parents still earned money for you to squander."
"It's just that you didn't study hard, and because you felt your parents weren't giving you enough money, you started doing swindling and cheating."
Upon hearing Ji Nanshu's words, the man visibly panicked and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! How have I cheated or swindled you? Don't think you can make me act just because you're making a show!"
Ji Nanshu put his index finger to his lips. "Shh... Don't make a lot of noise in public. Do you want to be poor for the rest of your life?"
At this moment, Ji Nanshu's actions and expressions were so captivating that viewers watching the live stream exclaimed, "So enticing!"
Waaaaah, the guy they're fans of is so beautiful, handsome, and smart! How can someone be so perfect!
"I... of course I don't want to!"
Ji Nanshu: "Did I say something wrong?"
"Of course you're wrong!! I've lived a life of plenty, why would I need you to calculate this for me?! Pay up right now!!" The man slammed the table over his shoulder and shouted menacingly.
Because it was being broadcast live, and because Ji Nanshu was beautiful, and because of the troublemaking man, a crowd gradually gathered around, pointing and whispering about him.
"Isn't this guy obviously here to cause trouble? Can't people even say nice things about him?"
"If they promised they wouldn't lose money if the divination was inaccurate, then they should have to pay. Two thousand yuan for a divination isn't cheap!"
"Nobody took any money from him! And the calculations show he'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life, so there's nothing wrong with that!"
"Hey, you don't understand! This fortune teller ran into a tough customer! These charlatans thought they could make two thousand yuan off someone by saying a few nice words? They didn't expect the customer to be so unreasonable! If you ask me, they deserved it!"
Seeing that not everyone around him was on Ji Nanshu's side, the man smiled smugly, "Hmph! I think you're a liar! Don't think you can avoid losing money by saying nice things! Hurry up! Don't even think about doing business today if you don't lose money!"
The cameraman was frantic. " Teacher Ji... why don't you just give it to him first? This guy's a complete scoundrel!"
Where did Film Emperor Chu go at this crucial moment?! Where is he to show his boyfriend-like strength at this critical juncture?!
The man, upon hearing the cameraman call him a scoundrel, raised his hand to slap the cameraman, but Ji Nanshu stopped him with a single sentence. "Shoot carefully. This camera costs hundreds of thousands. Don't end up paying hundreds of thousands more than you get compensation."
The man snorted, "Hurry up! Pay up!"
"Then you'll have to wait, my family's money manager hasn't come back yet." Ji Nanshu yawned. Sigh, he was dragged out of bed so early this morning by his son A-Mo, and then wandered around all morning. He was so sleepy.
Why isn't A-Mo back yet? He wants to go back to sleep.
"Hmph! I'll wait a bit then! Are you afraid of me?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Mo returned, followed by two policemen.
Before the man could react, the police rushed up and pinned him to the ground.
"Wei Yuan! Behave yourself!" One of the policemen handcuffed Wei Yuan.
Another policeman stepped forward, shook Ji Nanshu's hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you so much! We've been looking for Wei Yuan for so long! We finally caught him today! On behalf of the people, thank you!!"
As he spoke, he gave Ji Nanshu a salute.
Ji Nanshu returned the greeting and said, "This is what we should do!"
"We let Wei Yuan escape once before, but we definitely won't let him get away this time!"
After saying that, the two policemen escorted Wei Yuan away.
All that was left were unsuspecting onlookers and a bewildered cameraman.
Cameraman: "Teacher Ji... Teacher Ji? Is this a fugitive??"
Is this guy out of his mind? He's a fugitive and he's still so arrogant?!
"Ah, yes."
At this moment, netizens suddenly realized--
[Ah... I finally understand why Ji Nanshu said that person would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their life...]
[Tsk, going to jail means you'll never have to worry about food or clothing!]
[This is hilarious! Hahaha, he lost two police officers!]
[Hmm... how can this not be considered having no worries about food and drink!]
[Why can you send voice messages upstairs?!]
Chu Mo righted the table that had fallen to the ground and asked, "Sweetie, is there another divination?"
Ji Nanshu: "Hmm, about half an hour more should be enough."
Finally, after half an hour, the third person seeking fortune-telling arrived, and Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo quickly concluded their money-making journey for the day.
After donating half of what he earned, Ji Nanshu said to the cameraman, "Let's go get a good meal together!"
