Chapter 1257: Chapter 716: The Reverse Psychology Trick is Successful_2

He really needed to take care of it properly.

Leaving it unhandled was not an option.

After a while, a look of sorrow appeared on the woman’s face.

Sitting there, she looked the picture of misery.

A look of even greater disdain crossed Black Bear’s face.

"Did you see that? His expression was furrowed from start to finish, a picture of pain, the classic face of agony," he said.

"What she just said wasn’t wrong either, that’s definitely the symbol of a jinx. You really can’t afford to be confused anymore."

"If you keep being this oblivious, then Shan Ge and I will be really helpless, we might even have to take forceful measures to prevent you."

This was a matter concerning their own interests.

How could they just stand by and watch?

That was simply impossible.

If they did nothing, then they wouldn’t be Shan Ge and Black Bear.

Ling Yu was just quietly listening on the side.

A look of contempt appeared on his face.

But it quickly passed.

Qin Yuan had caught every expression on Ling Yu’s face.

Ling Yu was really quite interesting.

It seemed he was not one of Shan Ge’s kind.

In that case, it was all the more reason to recruit Ling Yu as his underling.

Ling Yu was actually quite smart.

If he became his underling, he would certainly be able to help him a lot.

Thinking this, a much more serious expression settled on Qin Yuan’s face.

Ling Yu also noticed Qin Yuan watching him.

He furrowed his brows slightly, his face full of disdain.

The woman had been watching Baldy’s expressions all along.

She noticed that the color of Baldy’s face was getting uglier, though she didn’t know why.

After a while, the woman’s gaze returned to Qin Yuan’s face.

Because she had just heard him sneer.

Could it be that he had realized the words she said were false?

After all, when you’re outside your home, your identity is what you make it.

You could say whatever you wanted to say.

What mattered was protecting yourself; your reputation and such were not important.

Besides, no one here knew them.

Once they reached their destination, they would not see each other again.

So there was no need to care about reputation.

The woman thought this to herself, her thoughts quite clear.

Moments later, Qin Yuan shifted his gaze from Ling Yu and let it fall on the woman.

Qin Yuan then raised his eyebrows.

He signaled for the woman to speak up if she had something to say.

The woman shook her head slightly and diverted her gaze.

Baldy had been watching the woman all along, of course, and he caught this exchange between them.

"What’s going on with you two? Why are you giving each other looks? Could it be that you have some indecent affection to hide?" he said.

"If you have something to say, why can’t you just say it? Why do you have to communicate with glances? Besides, I’ve been keeping an eye on your every little move."

"I think you two are not strangers to each other. You must have known each other for a long time since this brat has helped you several times."

This brat had indeed helped the woman many times.

So now he was feeling something was terribly wrong.

He felt that what the woman had just said was dubious.

With this in mind, Baldy’s gaze had become very serious.

"So how could he possibly help a stranger like that? Were the words you just said taught to you by him?"

"If he did teach you those words, then you’ve truly disappointed me. I didn’t expect you to give up on me."

"And choose to say those things to distance me from you. What are you looking at me for? Give me some kind of response!"

As Baldy said this, he even raised his voice in a scolding tone.

He was looking at the woman with extreme annoyance.

He wished he could crush her into the mud.

Of course, the woman had heard all this, yet her face showed little reaction.

Qin Yuan’s lips twitched slightly, then he promptly said.

"My relationship with this woman is completely innocent. You’d better not accuse me without evidence. Besides, just because he glanced at me, does that mean I can’t look back at him?"

"Besides, we were merely exchanging polite glances, and you’ve built up all this in your mind. You really think you’re so capable!"

"After this woman spoke, you sneaked a few steps back. You think I didn’t see that?"

Qin Yuan simply spoke out the facts he had just witnessed.

His tone was completely unapologetic.

After being wronged like this, why should he be polite?

Of course, there was no reason to be polite.

It was at this moment that the bald man’s brow furrowed, never having expected the brat to talk back.

His anger had reached its peak.

He felt extremely humiliated.

The brat’s words were like ripping his face off.

Undoubtedly, it was a slap in his face.

Right then, Qin Yuan hooked the corner of his lips and immediately continued.

"If you truly believe from the bottom of your heart that she is a jinx, why bother to numb your own conscience with these words?"

"Don’t over-numb your heart. What is, is. Isn’t it better to be honest, especially since you despise her?"

"Why bother trying to convince yourself or harbor any hope against the odds? It’s pointless, don’t you think?"

The bald man’s anger had exploded to its limit.

He kept glaring at Qin Yuan.

He wished he could devour Qin Yuan alive.

But Qin Yuan wasn’t the least bit afraid.

His courage was immense, and he even flashed a provocative look.

"What are you staring at me for? Instead of glaring at me, why not just take me on in a fight?"

"Maybe fighting me would be more thrilling, even though my issues with Ling Yu aren’t over yet."

"But I’d be interested in taking you on after that’s settled."

Now it all depended on whether the bald man would accept the challenge.

If he didn’t, Qin Yuan would use reverse psychology.

He was determined to make the bald man agree.

He had many ways to get him to agree.

The bald man’s brow furrowed and he instantly glared at Qin Yuan.

"What right do you have to talk to me like this? What ability do you have to fight me?"

"Brat, I suggest you tuck your tail and behave. Don’t be so arrogant; you don’t have what it takes to beat me."

"Forget beating me; you can’t even handle Ling Yu."

Qin Yuan wasn’t enraged by these words.

On the contrary, he let out a cold laugh.

"Although Ling Yu and I haven’t finished yet, the outcome isn’t settled, so you better not jump to conclusions."

"It’s too early for such a result. I know this is what you’ve concluded in your heart, but there’s no need to be so eager to express it."

"You talk a big game. If you’re so capable, why don’t you fight me? Are you scared, or do you feel that you lack the strength?"

Qin Yuan immediately used reverse psychology.

It had no effect on him, of course.

But it was definitely effective for the bald man.

He had long noticed that the bald man was a man who cared about face.

Since face mattered, reverse psychology would surely be used.

So he was curious to see what the bald man would say next.

The bald man’s brow furrowed, and he immediately spoke.

"How could I possibly lack the strength? Don’t forget, I am the bald man. Since I’m the bald man."

"How could I possibly not beat you? I was just giving you face earlier, so I didn’t let you lose to me."

"You’ve always been defeated by me. Since you think I can’t beat you, let’s give it a try then."

Saying he couldn’t win?

Impossible.

It simply couldn’t be.

The brat was indeed full of himself.

He had to make this brat bow his head in submission.

The bald man raised his eyebrows and added another phrase.

"Anyway, you go ahead and fight Ling Yu first; once you’re done with him, you can fight me. After all, there’s a sequence to everything."

He wasn’t in a rush.

He’d handle the matter at hand first.

This matter was unresolved.

Since it wasn’t resolved, it surely needed to be addressed.

He couldn’t just let this go.

The woman was watching them with indifference.

She didn’t even show a sign of wanting to speak, not even blinking an eyelid.
