Chapter 57: Go crazy every time I see her!

  The fingerprints on Tong Mai's face from yesterday, after a night of repair, seemed to be even more obvious, the fingerprints looked a bit shocking, her current appearance was exactly like that of a woman who had been domestically abused by her husband, her cheeks were swollen to the point of being unsightly.

  But she has this earth-shattering and unconventional talent, walking back and forth on this street with a purple abscess on her cheek...

  "This can't be! I remember it was this street for sure! How come I couldn't find it?" She walked along the street, looking around, east and west, getting anxious in her heart, where did that old man's store go?

  Although she is not very familiar with this place, she is certain it was here.

  Huo Yize followed behind her, initially enduring in silence. However, as they went further back, she seemed to become increasingly uneasy, lingering for so long without a word, and constantly searching for something - what did it mean?

  He furrowed his brow, gazing at her slender back, once again feeling played by her.

  He knew that her words couldn't be trusted, yet he believed her again and again like a fool. He was simply crazy! Every time he saw her, he went crazy once more!

  "That's enough! Stop playing tricks on me! Come with me to the police station!" He had completely lost his patience, and at the same time, Huo Yize was also about to be suffocated by his own emotions. His self-control was so weak that every time he faced her, he would involuntarily let her off easy. However, this time, he absolutely wouldn't show any mercy.

  "Oh no! What are you doing?! What tricks can I play in front of you? Wait a minute, let me take another look!" Tong Mai was "fed up to the teeth", his anger seemed even greater than Huo Yize's, and he heavily shook off his hand, continuing to search left and right for the pawnshop.

  "Tell me clearly, where is the watch?"

  Huo Yize would never allow anyone to deceive her, grasp her wrist and force her to look at him, just so she could see the remnants of his intentions in his eyes. He didn't believe it, relying on this method, she could still find the watch?

  Her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything. The pupils in her eyes sparkled with a dazzling light, like diamonds. At this moment, only her eyes were worth looking at. Her face was disfigured by the fingerprints on it. This appearance should have given people a sense of pity and sadness, but to He Yize, no matter how he looked at her, he thought she looked ridiculous and hateful.

  "Speak!"

  The fierce-looking words scared Tong Mai so much that he was trembling with fear, "You scared me!"

  "Where? I don't have that much time to play with you?"

  "Since there's no time, let's just forget about it, okay? I also can't find that place right now. Can you please give me another two days and I'll return it to you?" She could only stall for one day, just one day. Otherwise, what else could she do?

  "No!" The low growl contained an unyielding majesty, like the sharp gaze of an eagle, exuding a bloodthirsty aura that pressed in on Tong Mai.

  You're such a petty and narrow-minded man! Nothing is ever right with you, just go die!

  Tong Mai was so angry that her whole body started shaking, but she couldn't do anything about it. Who could blame him? She had impulsively taken his things after all... If only she had known, she wouldn't have even looked at him twice...

  It's too late for anything now!

  "Mr. Huo, how about this? Look at the watch... I'll pay you back for however much it's worth! But let's agree on one thing first, you've worn this watch before, right? So we have to deduct some depreciation fees!" She seemed to be reasoning and haggling with him quite logically.

  Upon hearing this, Huo Yize seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke in the world, and his lips curled up into a extremely intense expression of disdain.

  Compensate? Can she afford to compensate with her moral character?

  Tong Mai saw the ridicule at the bottom of his eyes, and she felt very uncomfortable. "Don't look down on people like that, you haven't even said how much money it is, and you've already determined that I can't afford it?" How could she not read the contempt in his eyes?

  "I was afraid to say it out loud, fearing it would scare you." He said slowly and calmly, pulling out a cigarette, lighting it up, and the wisps of smoke curled around him, revealing his icy emotions.

  "Why don't we do it this way? I'll give you the money first. Considering my sincerity, can you please give me a few more days and I will definitely return the watch to you?"

  As she spoke, Tóng Mài Dōu took out several thousand yuan from her pocket, which was all her savings. She really meant it.

  Huo Yize raised an eyebrow at the small stack of money, his sarcastic tone even thicker. Tong Mai stuffed it into his hand, "Can you just trust me one more time? This time, I'll definitely keep my promise." She guaranteed with utmost seriousness.

  "You think you can get rid of me with just this little bit of money? Hehe..." A faint smile escaped, the laughter wasn't loud, but the threatening tone that seeped out from within was even more frightening...

  Tong Mai swallowed hard, and the air was filled with his cold, ruthless aura.

  The next second, he fiercely threw the money at Tong Mai, "20 million, if you can come up with 20 million within two days, I guarantee not to pursue this matter!" The condescending gaze in his eyes was certain that Tong Mai couldn't come up with it.

  Is that all she's got? Ho Yize's eyes were filled with thick ridicule at the same time, and the fierce flames also spread throughout his body.

  Money was scattered all over the ground, Tong Mai was annoyed to no end. But no matter how angry she was, she still hastily picked up the banknotes on the ground, afraid that someone else would pick them up. With a belly full of suppressed anger, she clutched this sum of money tightly and said, "Are you crazy? This is my money, what right do you have to throw it on the ground?" Who did he think he was?

  Her chest heaved violently up and down, and for a moment, she realized that if this anger didn't find an outlet, it would surely burn her to ashes...

  "Two hundred million more! Who do you think you can cheat? You're so short of money, why don't you go steal or rob? I'll tell you, I pawned the watch and the old man at the pawn shop said it's a fake, only worth 100,000 yuan! Now in my opinion, a watch that's been worn by someone with problematic character like yours isn't even worth 10 yuan, let alone 100,000!"

  Tong Mai was furious, so he blurted out everything, his face looked even more unsightly, and his lips were pale with rage.

  Huo Yize listened to her words, still with the same expression as before, without much change in his emotions, as if nothing she said could surprise him anymore...

  Lost your watch? 100,000 yuan!

  A watch worth 20 million, she pawned it for 100,000! Tong Mai, you're something else! Only she can do something that's shocking enough to make your jaw drop!

  How much money does she need to satisfy her vanity? Just gave her 10 million yesterday, is there only this little left in her hands?

  Although Huo Yizhe has not expressed any views now, when he doesn't speak, it is often more terrifying than when he does.

  Tong Mai took a step back, looking at him warily as he approached her, her heart racing wildly. "I'll go find that old man again, his pawnshop is just around here! I'll try one by one." Gone was the arrogance of earlier, replaced by a layer of pleading on her face.

  She hastily turned around, but her wrist sent out a "crack" sound as if it was about to shatter...

  "Ow... it hurts so much... let go!" Tong Mai's face was full of grievance, "What do you want to do?" Extremely helpless.

  Police Station

  "No, no, no... Let's talk this through, give me a real price. You don't have to say 20 million and I won't say 10 bucks. How much is it? I'll pay you in installments..."

  If she really goes to the police station, it's theft... definitely can't avoid punishment, so mediation is still better.

  "You're not qualified to haggle with me! 200 million, not a penny less!" Two hundred million was already cheap for her, but she still didn't know what's good for her.

  Huo Yize's expression was stern and serious, without a hint of a smile. Tong Mai could tell that he wasn't joking around.

  "Why don't we go to the police station and report this, let's catch that old man from the pawn shop first! As for other things... we'll discuss them later, what do you think?" With a face full of expectation looking at He Yi Ze, but he cast her a disgusted glance, clearly disapproving.
