Chapter 86

"Jia Hongjian, what did my father mean by what he just said to me?" Ye Jing anxiously ran into Jia Hongjian's room and asked. "Hey, what are you writing?" "Your father didn't mean anything, and I'm not writing anything." Jia Hongjian quickly covered the plan he was writing.

"Why won't you let me see?" Ye Jing raised her eyebrows, questioning him. "Won't it be less surprising if you know in advance? Do you like surprises or not?" Jia Hongjian ignored her questioning expression. "I like both!" As she said this, Ye Jing suddenly tried to grab the plan from Jia Hongjian.

"Go away! You little brat, why are you so unfair?" Fortunately, Jia Hongjian reacted quickly, and she only managed to grab a corner of the paper. He pulled it away while using his shoulder to push Ye Jing. "Who's being unfair? Clearly, you are! Why won't you let me see? Give it to me! Give it to me! You cheater! Let go! Why won't you let me see? Is there something strange written on it?" Ye Jing struggled, trying to pull the paper from Jia Hongjian.

"Right, there is something very strange written on it, something girls shouldn't see. It would make you blush for a long time. So be a good girl, let go and don't try to take it! Jerk! You even dare to bite me?" Jia Hongjian, who was still fighting over the plan, suddenly felt a bite on his bare shoulder!

"I'll bite you! Why won't you let me see? Let go! Or I'll bite you again!" Ye Jing snarled at Jia Hongjian like a little lion. Seeing this crazy girl, Jia Hongjian didn't hold back. He looked at Ye Jing's white and tender arm, with smooth skin and visible blue veins, and thought it would be "crunchy and chicken-flavored" (Note). So, Jia Hongjian directly bit Ye Jing's arm.

"Ah!" The mischievous girl screamed, letting go of the paper. She then fell silent, holding the bitten spot, her head buried in her arm, looking like she was about to cry from the pain.

But Jia Hongjian ignored her actions and was about to leave with the paper. Ye Jing, seeing this, angrily said, "Hey! You bit me so hard, and I'm almost crying here, and you don't care? You don't apologize? You jerk!"

"Tsk, your acting... I played these games when I was seven. Trying to trick me? You're too sweet, girl!" Jia Hongjian ignored Ye Jing. He had been bullied by the little fox spirit Wang Dan Shui since he was young! This act of pretending to be in pain after being bitten, Wang Dan Shui had done it countless times. Jia Hongjian knew exactly how much damage his bite could cause.

As he said this, Jia Hongjian opened the door and ran out barefoot. Ye Jing, seeing that Jia Hongjian wasn't falling for it and was even running away, immediately chased after him. But she hadn't run far when she saw Jia Hongjian knocking on her father's door. "Are you crazy?" she whispered to Jia Hongjian.

"I won't let you see!" Jia Hongjian whispered back and then went into the room where the one-armed boss was.

Seeing Jia Hongjian's unfairness, Ye Jing returned to his room in a rage, tearing another piece of paper and cursing him. Just as she was planning how to deal with Jia Hongjian, he and her father came back into the room.

"Ye Jing, step aside for a moment. I'll change my clothes, and then we'll go out together." Jia Hongjian actually dared to command her like this? Ye Jing glared at him and unwillingly walked out. As she passed him, she whispered fiercely, "If it's not surprising enough, you're dead tonight!"

How is he dead? Not letting her into his bed? Jia Hongjian actually wanted to say this, but reality didn't allow it. A moment later, Jia Hongjian, dressed in a shirt and trousers, went out with the one-armed boss and Ye Jing. They first went to the Harbin Public Security Bureau. As soon as they parked, the bureau chief, Yang, came up to open the car door for them.

The group entered an office, and the one-armed boss asked, "Do you have the person I need?" The bureau chief, Yang, nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes. I sent someone to the prison as soon as you called. He just arrived. Shall I bring him in now?"

Seeing the one-armed boss nod, Yang quickly left. "Who are we going to see?" Ye Jing squeezed next to Jia Hongjian by the window and asked quietly. "A con artist." "A con artist? Why are we seeing a con artist?" "You'll see in a moment."

As Ye Jing raised her beautiful, smooth face to look at Jia Hongjian, Yang brought in the person, saying, "Mr. Ye, this is him." The person brought in by Yang had a sharp face, messy hair, and looked like a drug addict, wearing a loose prison uniform.

"Are you Yingzi?" The one-armed boss, who was called Mr. Ye, asked after looking at the man. "Yes, it's me... Sir, I haven't done anything wrong recently, and I've been behaving well..."

But Mr. Ye didn't pay attention to Yingzi at all. He turned to Jia Hongjian, as if handing him over. Jia Hongjian nodded and slowly circled Yingzi, inspecting him like a piece of livestock, and then asked, "Were you sent here for pretending to be a deity and defrauding money in the countryside?"

"Yes... Yes!" The sharp-faced middle-aged man, Yingzi, first looked at Mr. Ye, seeing that he really handed him over to Jia Hongjian, and then respectfully admitted it.

"Can you do things like playing with calcium carbide and pouring oil into a pot?" Jia Hongjian asked. Yingzi quickly nodded, "Yes! Yes! These are basic skills! I was doing this in the countryside in the spring, not to defraud money, just to get food and drinks. But then the crackdown happened... I was sentenced to 10 years..."

At this point, Ye Jing, who was watching from the side, was genuinely confused. She couldn't understand what Jia Hongjian was doing, why he was looking for a con artist who defrauded people in the countryside. This had nothing to do with Wang Hongcheng! Was this his plan?

Just as Ye Jing was puzzled, she suddenly heard Jia Hongjian ask, "Can you do the trick of turning water into oil like Wang Hongcheng?" Could it be? Ye Jing suddenly felt she understood something. She felt a door full of excitement and fun opening before her!

"Turning water into oil? This... isn't that high technology? I don't know high technology..." Yingzi was honest at this moment. "I'm not asking about high technology. I'm asking if you can use your con artist skills to turn water into oil." Jia Hongjian asked.

"No problem! That's my specialty!" Yingzi, the con artist, immediately patted his chest, "But, Sir, why are you asking this?"

"We want you to perform the same trick as Wang Hongcheng! But let me make it clear, I'm not someone you can easily fool. If you lie to me here and cause trouble tomorrow... hmpf!" The one-armed boss, Mr. Ye, said sternly, "But if you perform well, it will be a significant contribution to the country, and you know what that means, right?"

"I understand! I understand!" Yingzi quickly nodded, "But, Sir, can I see a video of Wang Hongcheng? I need to make it exactly the same, or any difference won't do, right?" "Sure, Yang, take him to see the video." Mr. Ye nodded.

After Yang took Yingzi out, Ye Jing looked at Jia Hongjian with stars in her eyes and asked admiringly, "Hongjian, is this your plan? To have a con artist challenge Wang Hongcheng? To turn water into oil the same way? You're amazing! Ha ha! Wang Hongcheng won't have a word to say!"

"How can he not have a word to say? A guy like him, even if you beat him up, he'll say it's his face that made our hands swell, not the other way around." Jia Hongjian said with a cold smile. "So we need a second plan, a two-pronged approach!"

At this moment, Mr. Ye's mobile phone rang. He answered it and then said to Jia Hongjian and his daughter, "Wang Hongcheng has agreed. He will meet us for a face-to-face experiment at Nanyuan Airport in Beijing the day after tomorrow."

Note: "Remove the head and it's edible, crunchy and chicken-flavored" are lines from Bear Grylls' "Man vs. Wild." Bear Grylls is a former member of the British Special Air Service (SAS) and later became an outdoor survival host for the Discovery Channel. In the show, he often goes into the wild with just a waterproof backpack, a knife, and a flint, surviving for several days. During this time, he often eats various captured creatures, such as worms, mantises, raw fish, and skunks. When eating spiders or worms, he often says, "This is rich in protein, with xx calories, and can be eaten raw after removing the head." When eating insects, he says "crunchy," and when eating frogs, he says "tastes like chicken." Later, netizens joked that no matter what creature they saw in his show, they would comment, "Remove the head and it's edible, crunchy and chicken-flavored." Some even put screenshots from his show alongside scenes from "Predator," saying that even if Bear Grylls saw a Predator, he would say, "Remove the head and it's edible, crunchy and chicken-flavored, rich in protein, providing xxx calories..."
