- "What the hell, why did this guy suddenly change his tune?"
- "I knew it! The boss lady is so kind-hearted; I've seen her pack leftover food to give to needy beggars. How could such a restaurant be so cold-hearted?!"
- "I already sensed something was off; they didn't call the police but instead wanted to demand compensation privately! I really didn't expect that!"
- "I can only say that the big man's simple, honest face is too deceptive! Sigh, human hearts are hard to fathom, and people can be treacherous!"
…..
Because of the big man's words, the direction of public opinion instantly reversed.
Gong Hongchu's face turned dark, and his elegant demeanor vanished.
He couldn't understand why, when victory seemed within his grasp, those guys suddenly turned against him. They must have just misspoken, right? They couldn't have planned exposed him too, could they?
[Afraid of being exposed, and afraid of others knowing what he has done, Gong Hongchu began to panic. Intelligence -1-1-1-1-1... protagonist luck -500, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +20]!]
Was he panicking already at the very beginning? Mu An laughed.
"Are you guys out of your minds? Do you have any other accomplices?"
The big man continued to speak honestly. "There are many more. The ones who just spoke up, Li**, Gou**, Mo**, they are all our people!"
"Oh, and that hypocrite behind you, he was the one who instructed us to do this!"
"And he even said that if we did a good job, he would reward each of us with five hundred bucks!"
At this point, he realized he couldn't control his mouth anymore. Even trying to stop it with his hands was futile! His eyes were filled with fear and confusion! He didn't know if he had been possessed. It was as if his mouth suddenly had a mind of its own, speaking without his brain's control!
(Brain: Stop talking! You're exposing yourself!)
(Mouth: Don't say you can't control me; I can't even control myself!)
The crowd was once again in an uproar. They probably didn't expect to unintentionally become pawns in someone else's game!
"Oh? So that's how it is!"
Mu An was not surprised at all and then smiled at Gong Hongchu. Gong Hongchu couldn't help but swallow hard. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have any explanation?"
Gong Hongchu thought to himself, why should I explain myself to you? He originally wanted to say that, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everything changed.
"I have no explanation; this is what I did!"
"I have been eyeing this shop for a long time. Today, I deliberately found someone to mess with this shop so I could buy it at a low price."
"And I have used this method to take down many competitors!"
"Especially after I found out that this shop is run by my long-time crush, Gong Nanyan, I not only want this shop but also want her! I dream about her day and night!"
"Thanks to my relentless efforts, I have successfully shortened my craftsmanship to complete it within three seconds!"
He was going crazy! Gong Hongchu felt like he was losing his mind! Even if he was forced to tell the truth, it was one thing to reveal the previous matters. But how could he also disclose those private things?
With so many people knowing, wasn't this a man's social death?!
The crowd naturally did not disappoint him!
- "Impressive! Although your actions are disgraceful, I admire your courage to say such things openly! Just one more question, I'm curious, can your craftsmanship thread a needle?"
- "How can such a beast in human clothing not die? It's really disgusting! Down with you! I spit!"
- "It's a pity to have such a problem at such a young age! Why not come to our hospital for a check-up? I guarantee your craftsmanship will improve! Not 99998, not 9998, now only 998! Buy it and you won't regret it!"
[After venting his long-held insecurities in front of everyone, Gong Hongchu felt utterly miserable, as if 'social death' was engraved on his forehead!]
[Protagonist luck -500, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fool's Game Card *1]!]

This item card looks interesting!?
Moreover, Mu An didn't expect that he hadn't even interrogated Gong Hongchu much. This guy just suddenly self-destructed! Could it be that some words had been stuck in his heart for too long, and he couldn't hold back anymore!?
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Mu An still didn't want to let him go. He wanted to see if he could squeeze out more luck from him!
A little gold mine delivered to his door; if he didn't exploit the other party's coins, it would be 'too rude'!
"I also want to say that when I found out Gong Nanyan was going to be expelled from the Gong family, I specifically went abroad to avoid trouble! I didn't want to get caught up in it!"
"So, my feelings for her were all fake; I only truly craved her body!"
"For this, I would go to any lengths! Even if it meant drugging her!"
At this point, Gong Hongchu's face turned ashen. He knew that once he said these words, his fantasy of pursuing Gong Nanyan was completely shattered.
Gong Nanyan frowned tightly, her face filled with disappointment. She didn't expect that the little snot-nosed kid who used to follow her around had such inappropriate thoughts about her!
The excuse he gave about being unable to help her because he was studying abroad was also a lie!
And he was even willing to use underhanded means to get her!
[After learning the truth, Gong Nanyan was completely disappointed in Gong Hongchu; there was no longer any possibility between them, protagonist luck -1000!]
[Detected that protagonist Gong Hongchu's luck has reached zero, completely losing his protagonist status and becoming an ordinary person. Congratulations, you have received the reward [Special Skill: I Am an Honest Person]!]

Exploded! Another big explosion!
This was the first time he had brought the protagonist's luck to zero!
Mu An was almost unable to contain his laughter.
What kind of beast in human clothing was this?
This was clearly a generous benefactor delivering rewards to him!
"Sister Nanyan, I..."
Gong Hongchu seemed to want to say something more.
"I think we don't need to see each other again!"
Gong Nanyan coldly interrupted him and stood behind Mu An, ignoring him.
Gong Hongchu, with a dejected expression, opened his mouth but didn't say another word.
Soon, the police arrived.
They took all the accomplices away.
This little farce came to an end.
