Bai Shi Jing and Kang Min were both terrified. After being slapped by Ma Da Yuan, their faces contorted with malice.
Looking at Bai Shi Jing kneeling on the ground, Kang Min's face contorted with anger.
"You useless fool, even at a time like this, you still haven't done anything?" Kang Min cursed.
Ma Da Yuan, upon hearing Kang Min's words, trembled with rage.
He was about to raise his hand to eliminate Kang Min, but he discovered that he couldn't gather any internal energy. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Shi Jing strangled him with a chokehold and crushed his windpipe.
Thinking that the scene would end there, unexpectedly, the scene shifted. Kang Min was seen together with Quan Guan Qing again.
Their conversation enraged Qiao Feng, who wanted to slap them to death, but he found he was powerless.
The following dialogue chilled Qiao Feng to the bone.
He never imagined that these two had such a sinister plot against him, and they even claimed he was a Khitan.
If he hadn't come here, he would have been unjustly accused, even with a mouth full of explanations.
The vision disappeared, and Qiao Feng found himself back in the pawn shop.
Seeing Lin Hao looking at him with a smile, Qiao Feng's turbulent heart couldn't calm down.
"Shopkeeper, was everything I just saw real?" Qiao Feng took a deep breath and looked at Lin Hao.
"That's right. You only wanted the truth about Ma Da Yuan's death. But seeing how you would sacrifice yourself for your brothers, how loyal you are, I'll give you another piece of information for free."
"Don't worry, you'll soon know whether it's true or not. While you're seeking the truth, a plot against you is already underway."
"Just a few words for you: the Gathering of the Beggar Clan at Xingzi Lin." Lin Hao said calmly.
Qiao Feng's face changed. He didn't know if what Lin Hao said was true, or if the vision he had seen was real.
The feeling of being there, however, made him feel that it wasn't fake.
But the vision was too incredible, too strange, that he couldn't accept it immediately.
Since Lin Hao mentioned the Beggar Clan Gathering at Xingzi Lin, he would have to see if it would happen. If it did, it would confirm everything.
Just as Qiao Feng was about to speak, he heard footsteps behind him.
He then saw a Beggar Clan disciple rushing to his side, handing him a letter.
Qiao Feng opened the letter and his expression changed instantly. He looked at Lin Hao abruptly.
Because the letter stated that the Beggar Clan would hold a gathering at Xingzi Lin, and he, the leader, needed to return to preside over the gathering to find the killer of Ma Da Yuan.
Foreknowledge, Lin Hao had already known this beforehand. Just who was this Lin Hao? He was so terrifying.
Even if Lin Hao's intelligence was powerful, he couldn't possess foresight.
At this moment, he understood the meaning of the couplet outside.
"Wanbao Pawn Shop, discerning the world, the universe is boundless, all in control, whatever you ask, you shall receive."
With such abilities, it was no wonder he would write such a couplet.
Everyone in the pawn shop, except for Lin Hao and Nan Gong Yue, was curious about what was written in the letter that made Qiao Feng, a man like that, lose his composure.
"Qiao Feng thanks you, Shopkeeper. Qiao Feng has urgent matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you. After things are settled, Qiao Feng will come to thank you personally." After speaking, Qiao Feng bowed to Lin Hao and turned to leave.
The Beggar Clan disciple, without asking any questions, followed quickly.
Soon, only Lin Hao, Nan Gong Yue, and Bai Zhan Tang were left in the pawn shop.
He was curious about this matter, wondering what was written in the letter that caused such a drastic change in Qiao Feng's attitude.
"Uh, Shopkeeper, that…" Bai Zhan Tang awkwardly smiled at Lin Hao.
He didn't know how to speak.
Looking at Bai Zhan Tang's attitude, Lin Hao knew what he was thinking.
Although his pawn shop had made two deals, its reputation wasn't high enough yet.
Bai Zhan Tang being at the Tongfu Inn could serve as an advertisement.
"What? Even you, the renowned thief, have moments of curiosity? Didn't you retire already?" Lin Hao looked at Bai Zhan Tang with a smile.
Hearing Lin Hao directly call out his name, Bai Zhan Tang's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Lin Hao with a confused expression.
"What are you talking about, Shopkeeper? What renowned thief?" Bai Zhan Tang asked in confusion.
"You can fool others, but don't try that trick on me. If I wanted to, I could even investigate your ancestors for three generations, believe me?" Lin Hao looked at Bai Zhan Tang with a hint of a smile.
