Cheng Cheng and the Cicada

Chapter 65 Honest

“Fast!”

Inside the van, Big-Faced Cat slammed the steering wheel in anger.

“That bitch actually dared to trick me!”

He turned his head to look at Lin Xian.

“Bro, you telling me all this, and knowing about what happened to my three lackeys… I knew you were no ordinary person, I trust you!”

“But, you said you could take me to find tons and tons of gold bricks, is that really true? I’m not doubting you, bro, I’m just curious, where in this city would there be so many gold bricks?”

Lin Xian nodded and pointed in a direction, telling Big-Faced Cat to drive straight to the end of the road out of town.

“Of course it’s true, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“Because… we both have a common goal, we ultimately want the same thing.”

“You mean money?”

“No.”

Lin Xian shook his head.

“Getting money is just the first step. My ultimate goal after getting money is the same as yours, which is to get a————”

Big-Faced Cat looked shocked.

“Could it be! You also want to get a————”

“That’s right.”

Lin Xian said decisively.

“I also really need an invitation to the [Tianjiao Club]!”

Pfft!

Big-Faced Cat spat out a mouthful.

The van swerved and stopped diagonally on the side of the road.

“What kind of messed up crap is that!”

Big-Faced Cat scoffed.

“What I want is an invitation to the Genius Club! Genius! What the hell is your Tianjiao Club!”

Lin Xian smiled.

“I just had a slip of the tongue, why are you so agitated? I even know about your father’s death, wouldn’t I know the name of this club?”

“You, you even know about my father?”

Lin Xian stared intently at Big-Faced Cat’s expression, trying to catch any change on his face, testing him.

“Of course I know, your father was a physicist, but he was hit and killed by a car from the Genius Club.”

“Bullshit!”

Big-Faced Cat looked at Lin Xian warily.

“My father was a mathematician! A Fields Medal mathematician! And he was hit by a truck, not a car!”

“Bro… are you even reliable? Your information is all wrong!”

Lin Xian didn’t take it to heart.

“Your daughter also died.”

Hearing about his daughter.

Big-Faced Cat’s face instantly hardened, looking at Lin Xian suspiciously, his eyes complex.

“You know about my daughter too?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Xian nodded.

“Your father took your daughter to school in the morning, and then they were crushed to death by a truck on the way to school.”

“School my ass!”

Big-Faced Cat couldn’t hold back any longer! He cursed.

“They were killed in the middle of the night!”

“I see it now, you’re just a damn liar! I really believed your nonsense!”

“What’s your purpose in tricking me here? I’ll shoot you————”

Big-Faced Cat was furious!

He reached for his waist to draw his gun, but found… nothing.

“Where’s my gun!”

“Right here.”

Lin Xian twirled the gun in his right hand, looking at Big-Faced Cat.

“Sorry, Cat Bro, it seems I wronged you. You’re much more honest than I thought. You didn’t lie to me at all, I was judging a gentleman by my own petty standards.”

“I didn’t even know you before! But I’m honest and never lie!”

Big-Faced Cat spluttered excitedly.

“Only others lie to me, I never lie to anyone!”

……

At this point, Lin Xian was very satisfied.

Almost there.

The answer was already clear.

The reason he deliberately said the wrong information, talking nonsense, was to trick Big-Faced Cat into revealing the truth.

The purpose was to verify whether what Big-Faced Cat said about the Genius Club and the murder of his father and daughter was true or false.

His thinking was this——

If all the information Big-Faced Cat said about the Genius Club before was “fabricated.”

Then today’s Big-Faced Cat wouldn’t have those memories, and naturally wouldn’t remember how he “fabricated” them in the previous dream.

If today’s Big-Faced Cat said anything differently from what he said in the previous dream, then it could be directly determined that he was lying.

But if…

Even under such misleading circumstances, Big-Faced Cat still spoke exactly the same as before, with not a single detail different…

[That would prove that Big-Faced Cat didn’t lie to himself. Everything he said about the Genius Club and the murder of his father was true.]

“Speak! I’m asking you!”

Big-Faced Cat grumbled and turned the steering wheel, preparing to turn back.

Lin Xian came back to his senses.

Click!

He cocked the pistol and pointed it at the luxurious manor in front.

“Pull the car over to the side of the road, we’ll walk over.”

“What for!” Big-Faced Cat quickly slammed on the brakes.

“Taking you to rob money.”

Lin Xian opened the passenger door and jumped out of the car.

Looking at the detached villa by the lake.

“Cat Bro, how much money can there be in a bank vault? Forget about it. The truly rich people don’t dare to deposit their money in the bank.”

He turned his head and smiled, looking at the shocked Big-Faced Cat.

“Today, I’ll let you see… what true wealth beyond measure really means!”

“Stop, stop, stop! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!”

Big-Faced Cat took a stride forward, grabbed Lin Xian’s arm, and patted his own head.

“My IQ can’t keep up, slow down, slow down!”

“Stand here first, and explain things clearly, otherwise I won’t follow you!”

At this time, Big-Faced Cat’s brain was obviously overloaded, and he couldn’t keep up with Lin Xian’s rhythm at all.

“Okay, come here, I’ll explain it to you.”

Lin Xian pulled Big-Faced Cat behind the wall, pointing at the detached villa by the lake.

“See that villa?”

“I see it.”

“Who is the richest person in this city?”

“That’s definitely Li Cheng!” Big-Faced Cat replied matter-of-factly.

“Not to mention he’s the richest person in this city, even if you put him in the whole country, he’d still be ranked!”

“No, you’re wrong.”

Lin Xian looked at Big-Faced Cat.

“His wealth on the surface is indeed ranked in the country. But if you count his hidden wealth, he’s probably ranked in the whole world.”

“Li Cheng isn’t as glamorous as he appears on the surface. He’s secretly engaged in prostitution, drug trafficking, arms dealing, and human trafficking, these inhumane activities, he deserves more than just the death penalty.”

Big-Faced Cat was shocked.

“Holy crap! This beast! He dares to do things like prostitution, drug trafficking, arms dealing, and human trafficking!? He’s too inhumane! Scum!”

“No wonder he’s so rich! And got rich so quickly! He’s doing things that deserve to be beheaded! How could he not have money?”

Lin Xian nodded.

“He definitely wouldn’t dare to deposit such huge amounts of stolen money in the bank. The gold bars and gold bricks hidden in this villa are just the tip of the iceberg of his wealth, but they’re enough to fill your van.”

“And you don’t have to have any concerns after robbing this kind of money. Not only would he not dare to call the police, he wouldn’t even dare to say a word.”

Lin Xian pointed to a black car in front of the villa.

“Li Cheng usually has a lot of bodyguards around him, but only when he’s trysting with this mistress will he bring his most trusted driver.”

“This mistress is also his accomplice, vicious and evil, and has done a lot of beastly things. The two have maintained this illicit relationship for many years.”

“Therefore, we only need to take care of the driver, control Li Cheng and the mistress, and you can rob and take whatever you want.”

Big-Faced Cat snapped his fingers.

“Got it. Reliable! You’re very skilled, bro!”

“Yeah, I used to come here often, treating it like an ATM.”

“So today we’re… robbing the rich to help the poor? Eliminating evil for the people?”

Big-Faced Cat chuckled.

“This feels so damn good! I sometimes dream that I’ve become a chivalrous hero, upholding justice, it’s so damn exciting!”

Lin Xian waved his hand.

“Tonight, you don’t have to look for excitement in your dreams, let’s play something real.”

“Follow me!”
