Chapter 31

The mobile phone shop owner was frightened by Yang Jian's almost eerie cold stare.

But soon, he pushed Yang Jian away with a show of bravado and shouted, "What are you going to do? Are you going to hit me? I'll call the police right now. I think you're a thief. You couldn't sell your phone here, and now you want to hit me? If you don't want trouble, get out of here with your junk, or I'll have you locked up. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Everyone, come and look! This guy is selling stolen goods here. Call the police and arrest him."

Not only did he try to cheat Yang Jian out of his phone, but he also tried to frame him.

People nearby, hearing the owner's shouts, couldn't help but look over.

Yang Jian now understood how vicious this unscrupulous merchant was.

"Boss, since you're asking for it, don't blame me for being ruthless. You like phones so much, right? I'll give you another one."

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

Without a word, he picked up a phone and smashed it against the unscrupulous merchant's head. A faint red light emanated from his hand, and an eye on the back of his hand opened immediately.

"Smack!"

Yang Jian hit the unscrupulous merchant's forehead, but when he pulled his hand back, the phone he had been holding had disappeared.

"You really dare to hit me? I'll call the police right now. You wait, don't run away if you dare."

The unscrupulous merchant was furious and picked up his phone to call the police.

But he was still guilty, and he hesitated to actually make the call.

If the police checked the surveillance and found out he had switched the phone, he would be the one going to jail, not the young man selling the phone.

Yang Jian said, "Feel free to call the police. I'm going to make a call too."

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Cool and calm moonlight, my thoughts flow like a river..."

Suddenly, a phone ringtone echoed in the small shop.

But the ringtone wasn't coming from Yang Jian's phone or the counter; it was coming from inside the unscrupulous merchant's head.

"Ah!"

The unscrupulous merchant let out a painful cry, fell to the ground, and started convulsing. Blood gushed from his nose, mouth, and eyes.

At that moment, he felt his head was about to explode.

Yang Jian quickly ended the call and wrote down an account number on a piece of paper: "I estimate that phone to be worth 10,000. Transfer 10,000 to this account within ten minutes. If the money doesn't arrive, the ringtone in your head will sound again. My phone number is here. Let me know when you want to remove the phone from your head."

After saying that, he took the other phones, put his backpack on, and left the mobile phone repair shop.

Dare to cheat me?

I'll make you suffer.

After Yang Jian left, the shop owner, who was convulsing and bleeding from his nose and eyes, finally managed to get up, terrified.

He touched his head.

He felt something extra in his head, as if something had been forcefully inserted. His head was very painful and uncomfortable, as if he needed to open his head to remove it...

He looked outside the shop but couldn't find the young man with the backpack who had sold the second-hand phone.

On the counter was a piece of paper with a phone number and an account number.

10,000?

Transfer 10,000 to this person within ten minutes, or the ringtone in your head will sound again?

The shop owner really didn't want to experience that excruciating pain again. He quickly picked up his phone and transferred 10,000 to the account.

But as he was about to confirm the transfer, he hesitated.

What if that person was lying?

What if it was just a coincidence?

If that's the case, transferring 10,000 would be a loss.

No, no, can't transfer the money.

The shop owner drank some water and rested. Although his head still felt foggy, it was much better than before.

He decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.

But ten minutes later.

Yang Jian's phone didn't receive a transfer notification. He dialed the number without hesitation.

"Cool and calm moonlight, my thoughts flow like a river..."

The phone rang, and the ringtone sounded again in the shop owner's head. The pain from the phone vibrating made him fall to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth, with blood streaming from his eyes and nose.

"Ah!"

Ten seconds later, Yang Jian hung up the phone.

He continued walking down the street as if nothing had happened.

The unscrupulous merchant's life was now in his hands. Dare to cheat me? I'll play with you slowly.

After this call, it didn't take long for the transfer notification to come through.

10,000!

At the same time, Yang Jian's other phone rang.

As soon as he answered, he heard the unscrupulous merchant begging for mercy: "Big brother, please let me go. I've already transferred the money. Please let me go."

"Money? What money? I haven't received anything. You must have transferred it to the wrong account. I'll call you again in three minutes, but this time it's 20,000." Yang Jian lied, then hung up.

Come on, let's play the game of mutual deception.

The unscrupulous merchant, having tasted the pain, quickly transferred another 20,000.

Yang Jian's phone rang again with a transfer notification.

"Big brother, I've double-checked the account. Have you received it?" the unscrupulous merchant called again, pleading.

Yang Jian said, "I've received it. I won't call you for the next ten minutes. After ten minutes, I'll call again, and it's still 10,000."

He hung up again.

What?

Call again after ten minutes?

He really can't take it anymore.

The unscrupulous merchant in the shop was in tears, slapping himself.

Damn, I really deserve it. I shouldn't have been greedy for that phone. I've done this so many times before without any trouble, but this time I've met a tough one.

He tried to call Yang Jian again, begging him to let him go and resolve the matter.

But Yang Jian didn't answer.

The shop owner, unable to bear it, transferred another 10,000 and called again. This time, the call was answered.

What an expensive call.

10,000 each.

"Big brother, please let me go. You can have your phone back. Don't torture me anymore. I've already given you 40,000." The shop owner continued to beg.

Yang Jian said, "Boss, weren't you very arrogant before? Threatening to call the police. If you think I'm extorting you, you can call the police now. I'm nearby. Anyway, the next ten minutes, 10,000."

He hung up again.

After seven or eight minutes, another 10,000 arrived.

The shop owner called again, crying even harder: "Big brother, I beg you. I'll kneel and kowtow to you. You're a good person. Please let me go this time. I deserve it. I shouldn't have cheated you or been so arrogant. I'll turn myself in and go to jail. What do you think?"

"Going to jail is your business, not mine. I'm just doing a deal with you. I'm not forcing you to pay. Anyway, the next ten minutes, 10,000."

"But, but I have no money left in my account. I've already transferred 50,000 to you."

"No problem. I know a few online loan platforms. The interest is a bit high, but they lend quickly and are very reliable. I think they would be suitable for you... If the money doesn't arrive in ten minutes, I'll send you a 'Cool and Calm Moonlight.'"

"You, you're robbing me."

Yang Jian said, "Don't be ridiculous. Robbery doesn't happen so quickly. Anyway, my phone is running out of credit."

"Beep..."
