Chapter 22 Wallet

Everything that Leg Spirit, Su Yanran, did had absolutely nothing to do with him, okay?

All of this was her own doing!

Even the onlookers realized something was off; they didn't know what Han Three Knives was trying to do.

Knowing full well that Jiang Chenfeng was the Son of the Richest Man, why was Han Three Knives still standing on Lin Tian's side?

Could it be that Han Three Knives was willing to risk offending the Son of the Richest Man just to befriend Lin Tian?

This made everyone present speculate: could Lin Tian be some top-tier big shot, worthy of Han Three Knives protecting him so recklessly?

Han Three Knives had already made one wrong choice, so he certainly couldn't make a second one!

Now, resisting the protagonists halo, he bit the tip of his tongue hard and said, "Mr. Lin, since this young lady is unwilling to sell this raw stone, let's give up!"

Forcing himself to withstand the protagonist's domineering aura and say such words was truly no easy task!

If his focus wavered even slightly, Han Three Knives would end up saying something foolish and inexplicable, just like before.

Han Three Knives did not know that Lin Tian had a protagonists halo that passively lowered the intelligence of those around him.

He only felt that he could no longer continue to offend the Son of the Richest Man.

Even if Lin Tian was a genius in the treasure appraisal industry, he absolutely could not make an enemy of the Son of the Richest Man for Lin Tian's sake!

Holding onto this conviction, Han Three Knives forcibly broke through the suppression of the protagonists halo and said what he wanted to say.

Lin Tian was naturally unwilling, but after clenching his fists, he laughed awkwardly, "Fine! I don't want this raw stone anymore; I've already earned quite a bit today anyway."

Just as Lin Tian and Han Three Knives turned to leave.

Su Yanran said suddenly, "Old Man Han, since you are a reasonable person, let me give you a piece of advice: befriending someone who likes to break the rules is probably not a good thing for you!"

"Think about it carefully! He can break the rules for a tiny bit of petty profit; what will he do in the future if there is a major conflict of interest between you two?"

Han Three Knives shivered all over, his pupils contracted sharply, and his footsteps came to a halt.

That's right!

If there were really a huge conflict of interest between the two parties, the other person would definitely be even more unscrupulous.

What wouldn't such a person do?

If you befriend such a person, you might end up helping them count the money after they sell you out!

"Old Man Han, don't listen to..." Lin Tian looked flustered and wanted to defend himself.

But he was interrupted by a wave of Han Three Knives' hand: "Mr. Lin, you are a capable person, but I, Han Three Knives, am lowly and insignificant; I really cannot afford to climb high to befriend you! Although we don't have the fate for a deep friendship, my Precious Jade Pavilion is still willing to open its doors to you, Mr. Lin!"

These words were spoken with perfect balance.

It both cleared up the relationship between the two and avoided completely offending Lin Tian, while still preserving his face.

Watching Han Three Knives' back as he turned to leave, Lin Tian's face turned as black as soot, and he trembled all over with rage.

[Leg Spirit, oh Leg Spirit! Look at how you've angered the protagonist; he's almost going crazy. Don't do this next time!]

[But I'm also suffering an undeserved calamity! I didn't even say two words the whole time, and I've been resented by the protagonist again. Am I not wronged?]

"Officer, that's the guy!"

Just as Jiang Chenfeng was lost in his wild thoughts.

The middle-aged man who had argued with Lin Tian earlier arrived at the Precious Jade Pavilion with a group of uniformed police officers.

The middle-aged man pointed at Lin Tian and said furiously, "It's him! I suspect he's the one who stole my money. Hurry up and arrest him!"

The leading Policewoman stepped forward and said coldly, "This gentleman has accused you of stealing his wallet. I hope you can cooperate and come with us!"

Lin Tian, already furious, immediately blew his top and roared, "I stole a wallet? Who would I, Lin Tian, steal a wallet from? You're joking!"

"Search him! Officer, search him!" the middle-aged man shouted.

The Policewoman waved her hand at the people behind her, and a Male Officer immediately walked up.

"Hmph! If you don't find anything, you must apologize to me!" Lin Tian snorted angrily.

He was, after all, a person of status; how could he possibly engage in petty theft?

But when the Male Officer searched his pants pocket and pulled out a leather wallet.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "That's it! This wallet is mine!"

Lin Tian retorted angrily, "Bullshit! This is my wallet; when did it become yours? I'm warning you, if you deliberately slander me, I will make you pay the price!"

"Officer, did you all see that? He's still threatening me here; he's intimidating me right in front of you!" the middle-aged man said, deliberately putting on a fearful expression as he filed his complaint.

The Policewoman gave the Male Officer a look.

The Male Officer understood and opened the wallet, took out an ID card from inside, compared it with Lin Tian's appearance, and asked, "Is your name Wang Dali?"

"What Wang Dali? My name is Lin Tian!" Lin Tian said impatiently.

"Since you are not Wang Dali, come with us!" The Male Officer took out handcuffs and said coldly.

Lin Tian quickly stepped back and said in a fluster, "On what grounds? You need evidence to arrest someone, right?"

The Male Officer held up the ID card and the wallet and shouted, "You want evidence? This is the evidence!"

"This is my wallet! How can it be evidence for my arrest? Do you law enforcement officers not care about the law? In front of so many people, can you just disregard the law?" Lin Tian's face was full of fury, and he was trembling with rage.

The Policewoman laughed in anger, snatched the ID card and wallet, and questioned, "You still dare to say this is your wallet? How could someone else's ID card be in your wallet?"

Lin Tian finally noticed that the photo on the ID card was actually that of the middle-aged man in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and said in confusion, "How would I know? That's right! Why would his ID card be in my wallet?"

The Policewoman's face darkened instantly, and she said coldly, "You're still claiming this is your wallet? This is not your wallet at all; it's this gentleman's wallet. It's clear you stole this gentleman's wallet!"

Lin Tian vaguely sensed that something was wrong and said urgently, "Officer, you have to get this straight; you can't wrong an innocent person! I really didn't steal his wallet; this wallet is really mine!"

The Policewoman took a deep breath, turned to look at the middle-aged man, and asked, "Since you both claim this wallet is your own, let me ask you: what is inside the wallet, and how much money is in it?"

The middle-aged man quickly replied, "Inside there is my ID card, three bank cards, a social security card, and one thousand five hundred and forty-five yuan in cash!"
